An Affecting Scene.

A friend relates to us an affecting Incl
dent which occurred at Xenia on Wednes-
day. Among the passengers in the train
from CIeavland was a young man of per-
haps twenty and a lady some few years
bis senior. The gentleman was plainly
clad but the girl was dressed in the ex-
treme of fashion, and rougcd beyond even
brazen wantonness. 1t was frequently
observed by the passengers that the young
man appeared to be earnestly remonstra-
ting with the girl, and seemed to be deep
ly affected. At Xenia, both left the cars
and it was apparent that the course of
each lay in different directions, the course
of each lay ir different directions the man
to this city and the girl to the West. AS
the cars were about starting, the young
man kissed her in hasty goodbye and
both burst into tears. The conductor,
seeing that there was some deep grief at
heart invited the gentleman 10 a seat in
the baggage car, rs more secluded from
the gaze Of the crowd. "Any where"
said he, 'only come with me- I must
speak to some one, or my heart will break
After becominga little Gained he said :
''That lady and myself were raised togeth-
er; with moss for carpets, acorns for cups
and saucers- and pebbles for walks, we
played in childhood. She was q few
years older than myself, but we were in
seperable. She grew up to womanhood
was married, then separated from her
husband and sought the city and became
q wanton, heartless disgraced courtesan.
STEPPED in sin, as she is, shameless as she
may be, | could not but kiss her goodbye
for she is my sister. She has already
hurried q loving mother to the grave, and
brought disgrace upon her brothers and
sisters. But while she Acknowledges it
all and sheds tears of apparent contrition
and regret, no remonstrances can change
her course. She has just been homo to
pay us visit, but has left again for her
residence in the city, to drown in wanton
life the remembrance of what she was
and what she might have been. Do you
blame me them" turning to the sympa-
thizing conductor ''for weeping as | do
over one so loved and fallen"
II was no tale of fiction. 1t YVES pain
full truth. Fallen, disSraced, and shame
less she still shared a brothers love, who
would win her back to virtues path at
any sacrifice. A brief career of pleasure
and we shall find the erring sister among
the daily habitus of the police court and
the prison.

HUR ME.

Passing along Broadway some tune ago
q vehicle was arrested by some slight OBJ
stace, and the horses were not quite ape
to start it; the driver saw at once tnat
but a very little aid was needed, and,
turning to another Jehu, who was coming
behind him, said, "Hu5 me, sAipnaate!
The other saw as instantly what was re-
ouired. and, without moment hesitation
or stop, so guided his own horses as to
make the hub of his own carriage strike
lightly against that of the other, and each
giving their animals touch of the whip
both carriages moved on almost as easily
as if nothing had happened. How many
times in the great Broadway Of life men
"hub" one another without incommodlng
themselves! A friendly act done, an OBJ
legation incurred, some future act Of kind,
ness provoked, at the expense of a word
or only a single moments time. The
most of us regard omnibus drivers as
rather rough specimens of humanity; but
ever since the incident above related, we
have seen a moral beauty in the odd ex-
preston, "Hu5 me, shipn,ate." When
man takes newspaper or a pefloulcai,
he usually becomes attached to it, begins
to feel that its editor is his friend and as
often as the publication comes, he derives
from the work IF its editor some intercs-
ting item of news, some amusing state
ment, or some profitable idea or sugges-
ton. This is repeated dozen, fifty or
hundreds of times year, for which the
dollar or two, or five, of subscription
price is not the shadow ola compensation
singly. Under the circumstances, then,
we appeal to each reader of this article
in behalf of any publication which he re-
ceives, to help it to new subscriber, as
often as an opportunity is afforded by a
single word Of appreciation or solicitation.
There are many persons who have the
milk of human Kindness in them, that
they would take paper rather than re-
fuse; and for that courtesy you have
chances of doing them a service, just in
proportion to the real worth of the publ
cation commended. TO each present sub
scriber of our Journal we venture tho APP
peal with some confidence :-"HUB ME,
SH1PMATE." Journal Of HealM.

The Power OF MoNosYLLABLEs.-- ITO
one whose attention has not been drawn
particularly to the subject, it viii be sur
prlsing to call to mind how many of the
most sublime and comprehensive passages
in the English language consist wholly or
chiefly of monosyllablcs. OF the sixty-six
words comprising the Lords Prayer, forty
eight are of one syllable. Of seventeen
composing the Golden Rule, fifteen arc of
one syllable The most expressive idea of
the creative power of Jehovah IS expressed
entirely in monosyllables: = "And God
said, let there be highland there was light"
One of the most encouraging promises of
Scripture is expressed in fifteen words, all
but one of which are monosyilables I'll
love them that love me, = and those that
seek me early 81 all find me-

~ We extract one stanza from a
poem called "MY ANGEL.
But most fair of all the memories
Over which my heart has sighed.
Is the thought of her who loved me
Who but loved me and then died.
Through the earth she walked, the gentlest
fall forms beneath the sun
Entered at the heavenly gateway
When her earthly work was done
And think among the angels
She must wear fairer face,
Than doth any other angel,
Whatsoever be his grace
And / think her robe is whittier,
Ifwith her it do accord.
Than is any heavenly garment.
Save the vestment of our Lord.

We have now two contributors not excelled
by any writers in the country, namely, Rev. F.
W Shelton and Charles G. LELAND. The fras
known as our "Up-River Correspondent" haa
written series of Letters, part of which hare
been issued and extensively sold in a beautiful
illustrated volume, and the latter is now writ
ing series of Observations of Mace SlopeE,
which delight all who read them. These will
be continued regularly, and Mr.. Shelton will
give Sketch OF a Letter each month.
We have also several highly accomplished
Lady Contri butors, whose fayors will grace our

the picture being superbly decorated with
the mystic symbols of Free Masonry, and ap-

Literature, Art and Politics.
IT'S AIM Will BE

FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number Will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, it will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment in its
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor,
will not go uncared for, The publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writers will re-
ceiye the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they viii not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as occa-
sion may require, relying rather ON the COM
potency of an author to treat particular sub
i9ct than on any other claim whatever. In
this way they hope to make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain Of aesthetics. and
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regaed to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soeyer.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but will hon
estly endeavor to be the exponent Of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
1t will deal frankly with persons ani
with parties, endeavoring always to keep
in view that moral element which tran
sends all persons and parties, ana when alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity It viii not rank itself with any
sect of antics, but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom National Progress, and
Honor, whether public or private.
AS an earnest of the material at their COM
mand, they spbjoin the following list of literary
persons interested III their enterprise wishing
it, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind OF
ability which desires the avenue of their col
umns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intsis-
sic merit =

THE TRIBUNE AS A NEWSPAPER.

The City of Chicago has become the news
centre, as well as the Commercial emporium,
of the great Northwest. Tbs vast system OF
railroads terminating in it, afford facilities for
gathering Intelligence from all directions with
great dispatch, and the Tribune is unriyalsed
in the West for its enterprise in this department.
It's long and spacious columns are filed with
fresh and entertaining matter, embracing essays,
tales, letters, narratives, poetry, politics, and
miscellaneous articles. The Tribune is elevated
in moral tone, and eminently adapted to the
western home circle and the fireside Of intelli-
gent, freedonl-loving families.
THE TRIBUNE AS A COMMERCIAL PAPER.
The Tribune is the best commercial paper in
Chicago. No expense OF labor is spared to
make its market reports reliable and satisfac-
tory, not only fer Chicago, but for the princi
pal eastern markets. The Chicago quotations
are based on actual sales.

vEyHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is bold, earn
Z est and straightforward Republican paper,
devoted to the cause of Freedom, Progress, and
Reform. Believing that Liberty. and not
Bondage, is the saving principle Of the Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for a campaign, bat during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote Of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gross of 1887, that "Slavery or involuntary SER
9itude shall never exist in territory now free, "
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free,
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that tie influence of the
General Government shall be exercised On the
side of Freedom.
