An editor thus relatos ii little incident

awe were never, kind reader, desper-
ately in love but once, and that was with
n rod-no, aubrrl haired girl, with
freckled complexion, and who had but few
professions to beauty; but then she had
such really beautiful eyes, deep liquid orbs,
through which her soul in moments of
tenderness looked out with passionate
fervor, and in joyous mirth flashed and
sparkled with the light of a thousand dew
drops-diamonds we were going to say,
but We never saw thousand diamonds.
Her name WIS Laura,-wh:ch when
breathed softly by soft and gonile lover
is very sweet name,-and her clear,
ringing laugh fell upon you like show
cr Of silver bells. Moreover, she wore
dark wine colored dress, trimmed with IL
lac-colored and black fringe, with neat
little white collar of fine lace, which is the
PROTEST of dresses, and has the effect to
make very plain girl look absolutely
charming. She never perforated her ears
to hang thereby o pendulum Of brass and
glass;; tho only ornament on the little
white hand, which needed none, was a
plain gold ring, sacred to the memory Of
a maiden promise. Well, one evening, it
was moonlight, in tho summer time-wc
sat alone in the porch by ths cottage
door, holding that little white land in q
gentle pressure, one arm had stolen
around her waist, and silent song of JOY,
like tho music of the night was in our
soul. Our lips met in a sweet, delicious
kiss, and bonding softly to her ear we

What an Editor Might Have
Been. s


Holland, the editor of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, has been up to Yer
mont, where be came from, and he thus
sketches what he should have been If he
had not left home and become an editor:
"Your correspondent would have grown
stalwart and strong, with horny hands,
and face as black rs the ace of spades.
He nould have taught school winters,
worked on farm summers, and gone out
haying fifteen days in July, and taken for
pay the iron work and running gear Of
wagon. AT two and twenty, or thelea-
bouts, he would have begun to pay atten-
tons to girl with a father worth two
thousand dollars, and spit curl on her
forehead--a girl who always went TO
singing school, and sat in the seats and
sung without opening her mouth--apret
ty girl any way. We'll, afer seeing her
homo from singing school two or three
years, taking her to n Fourth of July GEL
ebration, and getting about hundred
dollars together, he would marry leriand
settle down. Years would pass away, and
that girl with spit curl would have eley-
en- children-iust as sure as YOU i've
seven boys ard four girls. We should
have had time in bringing them up, but
they wcdld soon be able to do the milking,
and help their mother wash days, and !.
getting independent at last. and feellnga
little stiff in the joints, would beelected a
member of the Legislature, having.bcen
an assessor ard school committee for two
years. In the evening of my days, with
my pipe in my mouth, thirte en- barrels of
cider in the cellar, and newspaper in my
hands, | should sit and look over the mar
kets, through pair of gold mounted
spectacles, and wonder why such strange.
silly piece as this should be published"a

TOTAL DEPRAVETY.


If my nature is essentially that of q
ficnd, Lam neither responsible for the
nature nor for tho Development of life
that shall be coincident with the develop
ment Of the life of an angel. If God has
made me with totally depravol nature,
and mado it obligatory on me to be I'M
natural in every act of my life in order
to please Him, aud be happy myself I
may well sit down in despair-despair
over problem utterly unreasonable and
utterly insou5le,and despair with my sit
uation and prospects. Did 1 believe in
this doctrine, [, TOO, would be sad; I
would go mourning all my days. Then
everything which pleases my nature,
everything which draws out my natural
affections, appeals to my natural tastes,
answers 10 my natural appetites, and ap-
pears to my natural conscience to be
right, and to my natural Judgment to be
good, would como to mo as temptations
ofthe devil. I, too, should be misan-
thropc. To me the earth would seem n
sad, bad place, without JOY and without
hope. [ should stand still and freeze
with terror, like q man in the dark, with
the cleaning eyes and hot breath of hum
CRY beasts on every side. Duty would
indeed be "a cross" and tho light laugh
that springs from the natural joyousness
ofmy innocent child, would send a shiv-
or through me like the shrek Of mad
man. Ii human natures maligners say
that they do not mean all this by their
phrase; then | say drop it, and consign
it to oblivion. A man cannot be totally
depraved in p limited sense, any more
than he can be perfectly pure in limit
cd sense, or shot dead in q limited sense.

OUT OF WORK.
arlOor.

There is a mournful truth which many
will appreciate, in this short extract from
BULLS and Bears story which has
just been completed in the AHaat'e
MonMly:
"To men out of employment, pro-
scribod, marked, there is nothing 50 terri
bic as the impenetrability OF the close
ranks of society around him. Every busy
man seems to have found his place; each
locks step with his neighbor, and tho vast
procession moves on. Once out of tho
serried order the unhappy wretch can new
er resume his position. He finds himself
the fifth wheel of coach there is moth
ing for him to do-no place for him at
the bountiful board where others are fed.
He may starve or drown himself as he
likes; the world has no use for and will
not miss him."

RIVER FALLS, PIERCE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, WEDNESDA

heard the same noise at the door of the
adjoining dressing room. Listening in
tentIy, 1 became aware of slight creak
ut the door ofthe communication between
the two rooms. This was followed, not
by footsteps, but by the hushed rustIing
sound of long dress trailing upon the
floor. The sound marched slowly across
the room, and approached tile bedside,
where it stopped. Thea the gentlest
tcuch-as, indeed, of airy fingers
drew the bedclothes straight, and tucked
the ends of the coverlids and sheets into
the space between the mattress and bed
stcnd. Meanwhile, | lay perfectly still
in q passive state Of surprise and Won
der.
When, however, the gentle ministry
ceased, and I again caught the rustic of
the trailing dress on the carpet, ] sprang
bolt upright in bed, and peeped into the
gloom, in hope of seeing the figure
But the room was a gulf Of darkness, cx-
cept the bit of window not covered by tho
cedars: and by this time the rustic had
reached the dressing room door. In a
few seconds more it had passed away
completely; and after exhnusting myself
in specuIations rs to the character of the
visit, I slept. On mentioning the met
dent at breakfast, I found that none Of
the guests had been disturbed: nor could
learn that anything Of the kind had previ-
ousIy happened in the house, although
one gentleman affirmed that the old man
sion, which was pulled down by Lord I
-boforc building the present ono,
had the reputation of being haunted.

AN IDLE MAN.
DR.. HOLLAND thus speaks of an idle

DR.. HOLLAND thus speaks of an idle
man.
"No true Christian can be truly an in
dolent man. He must necessarily have
established, Legitimate channels of method
zeal, vital expenditure, or his Christianity
will be very weak affair. There is re-
ally nothing left to a genuine idle man,
who possesses any considerable degree of
vital power, but sin. a man who has
nothing to do is the devils playfellow.--
He has no choice in the matter. He can
find no sympathy anywhere else. Good
men find nothing in him congenial. In
dustrious men have no time to devote to
him, and would have no sympathy with
him if they had. All the decent world
is in league against an idle man. Every
body despises him, whether lie be rich or
poor. Everybody feels that he is nui-
sance-that he is sneaF, who refuses to
employ the powers with which be has
been endowed, and declines to contribute
KS quota to the support of the race. He
is driven by the very necessity of his po-
sition into secret or open vice, and he
finds in obedieace to the calls of tempta-
ton the only delights that season an 9TH
