Well, young Clarence itzboodle-rOmautic
name-is bewitched by her heavenly smile,
swears by all the gods that Helen of Paris
"couldn't hold a candle to her." pays his ad-
dresses, drives her out in fast team through
the Central Park, renders himself miserable by
making her happy, and finally winds up by pop

month passes, and they have not yet had
their first jar; but their happiness is soon
brought to a climax by CANCEL Carrie" refusing
to boil potatoes every evening for his supper
she was not accustomed to such things, and she
ain t going to learn now. And, moreover, if he
is inflated with the idea of getting more than
one shirt per week, he needn't expect her to fur
nish him with lnen-he must get his washing
done elsewhere. And, in view Of this state Of
affairs poor hen-pecked Clarence FitzbOodle,
at one time the exquisite and ton of fashion
among the "bOys," and who always sported
clean linen every morning, must now resort to
wearing a steel colla-, which suits his terma-
CANT angel of wife so well that she swears he
must buy a steel shirt-bosom and wristbands,
which he can wash himself as often as he choos-
es for she won't make a slave of herself any
longer for him or any one else, washing and
ironing shirt once a week
And the consequence is, poor Fitzboodle,
with soiled linen and dilapidated tile, absents
himself from his old haunts, where the gay fell
lows who were once his companions cOngregate,
and who now miss him from their merry circle.
But much as he endeavOrs to evade his old
chums, who still keep up the appearance of
lords, he IS certain to stumble across one or
two, just when he is considering the most STRAIT

Love and it's Victims.
BY WILLIAM P. FERRIS.

It is the general custom with sketch-wrlters,
male and female, of a romantic and marvellous
disposition, to mix up with the plots OF their
narratives that universal and worldwide lngre-
dent, love, as a druggist mixes up with his med
cines that slow but deadly poison, mercury,
which preys upon the human system IN such
manner that, before the patient is aware OF the
fact he falls victim to its use. Love is drug
that has poisoned more poor frail-minded NOR
tails and done more to create rancor and dis
cord death and destruction, than all the quack
doctors, observation-disclosures and nOstrumsj that
have cursed and blighted this fair world OF
ours
Love Away with such trash Iyerily
there is no such thing as pure, true love inthese
modern and enlightened days Time was, when
our grandparents were children-''the happy
days of yore when love aOas lovei not mere
declaration of foolish balderdashj on the bend
ed knee; calling the moon, and stars, and heaven
above to witness the sincerity of their affection,
and threatening to commit some desperate act,
such as self-immolation, in case of rejection by
the adored one, as in those days Of greenbacks
and fractional currency.
Then, a grasp of the hand, full of that warmth
and affection which characterized the folks OF
the olden time, sufced to express the feelings
of heart overfowng with that creme de Ia
creme of love-pure, constant and nnselhsh-
that an all-wise Creator intended they should
enjoy; or a loving look OF the expressive, pas
sionate eye bespoke more truth and affection
than the quivering lip could speak.
In the olden time love-making was not an at-
fair of days, but months and years. and when
united in the holy bond of wedlock, it was with
the solemn vow to stick to each other with un-
finching devotion through thick and thin, veal
and woe, till the Angel of Death should summon
them to that bourne ''where the wicked cease to
trouble and the weary are at rest"
But in this age of telegraph, locomoton and
gas q mean gaseous Individually we have
mode of expediting matters, and it is but the
work of day to become acquainted with that
''fair young angel" (barring wngs) over the
way, who is great source of trouble to the
gouty old Jew who resides next door, for she is
continually hanging and humping on that
love of piano, which she has hired for three
months, and, under the false pretense OF la
king lessons" makes herself obnoxious to all
the old maids, and young ones too, in the aris-
tocratic neighborhood of Mushroom Place
Aye, she is a sweet, angelic creature

At the late Saratoga races, the ladies (shoddy)
were carried away from their propriety by the
excitement. Their ardor became almost uncon-
trollable, as exhibited in frequent profers of
betting among themselves and various sporting
characters in terms like "Tll go you fifty dollars
on the mare, =" and "Ill take you at one hum
dred dollars on the chestnut &c,

The RIP VAN WNKLEs OF OUR RACE.-The
following is the most succinct and comprehen-
sYe statement of the kind we have ever seen,
and is passage worth preserving
81 suppose that no country has ever had such
a power of invention and such studied intellec-
tual development as China The Chinese is the
largest yet beyond its own realm, the least in
huential of monarchies. From China, no mis-
sion ever started, no cOnqueror ever marched
Before all people in rudimental invention, they
are behind all people in development. They
had both gold and silver coins before the first
Doric was minted, yet they traffic by the scales
to this day They first had gunpowder, but
have got little further with its use than to blaze
it away in crackers. They were long before
hand with the magnet, but no junk ever crossed
the ocean except in tow of a British ship. They
have printed from time immemorial but their
literature awakens no progressive intellect
They have made glass for two thousand years,
and ordinarily do not make it clear enough to
see through yet. Their astronomy is still as
troogy, nor has their chemistry awoke from
dreams of falchemy They have politeness, but
its odd forms and slavery of etiquette only make
them more unsociable. They have a wonderful
language, but its cleverness is a curse and
fetter to their minds, making it the labor of q
life to learn to read. They are not without no
tions of dignity, but the men find it in nails
long enough for claws, and the women in feet
crushed into the shapelessness of hoofs. In the
South Atlantic there is a seattle great Sarga,s
TO- All the cure ents pass by it. Dull, dead,
heaving waves Just move the heaped-up tangle
of weeds that grow and the drift Of wrecks that
rot in that stagnant, melancholy limbo. China

Firgt White woman 81 Hakodadi.

While we lay at Hakodadi the bark Messenger
Bird came into the bay and anchored. The cap
tain's wife was on board with her two children,
one a fat little cherub, baby of only a few
months old, born on the passage since leaving
the Sandwich Islands
l shall never forget the day on which the first
American woman and her baby appeared on the
streets of Hakodadi.
The population, men, women and children,
priests soldiers, BARRIERS, merchants all seem to
have deserted with one accord their various
callings to gaze upon Mrs. Homer and her in-
FAINT. The baby excited the most intense Curl
osity among the woman and children; with gap
ing mouths, oUtstretched necks, and piercing
eyes, they followed it through the streets; every
turn, every movement was watched; police Off
GERS would occasionally drive them off, but Il
was only to give place to more eager faces; at
the turn Of every street troops would dash off
and seek to get a better view by appearing
through other streets tO-inercept her at the next
corner. As we turned the corner of the street
leading to the temple, on one side of which the
foreign bazaar was held, the crowd, men, women
and children, made rush for the inner court to
gain the temple. There was perfect stampede
the Gathering of wooden-shod feet overtherockY
pavement with the hum of a thousand voices
filled the air; they piled up The steps, rushed
pell-mell into the temple and crowded the court
hoping to get better view. In this they were
doomed to disappointment, except favored
few who reached back balcony, from whence
they had full view of the lady and baby as they
sat within the bazaar.
Upon her return the streets were again filled
with curious people following to the gate of the
custom-house which led to the boat, in which
she again reached the ship, eyed as she passed
through a labyrinth ofjunks by the curious Jap
anese sailors, who beheld for the first time a
