AFrench Reporter.

This is the way in which French re-
porter fulfilled his duty: One day when
the Place de Pantheon was the scene of
a riot, Dongelot installed himself in the
midst of shower Of stones and other
missiles, pen in hand, to note the Incl.
dents, as faithful reporter. Amid the
yells and groans of cembatants, and the
clatter of cavalry over the hard pavement
into the ranks Of the seditious, friend,
espying the indefatigable reporter, hailed
him thus:
"Man, are you mad?" he shrieked; "run
from there, or you will be killed."
Dongelot, without needing his advice,
retained his position, watch in one hand
and pen in the other, recording, minute
by minute, the aspect Of the conflict.
"Do you not hear me?' cried the friend
again; 'slt is certain death to remain
there.
"Heaven will guard me. But since
you are going, ,obiige me by handing these
notes to my journal You may tell them
that remain on the spot to record the
end of the affair"
One hour after the adventurous jour
nalist was struck by stray ball. He
was conveyed to house, and a surgeon
hastened to his relief.
"Are you wounded?'
"Yes," replied Dongelot, 'sand serious
| ly; for l am not able to write"
You positively must not think of
writing" said the doctor, brusquely; }.'it
will excite you too much. You must re-
main quiet.
THAT is not the most important thing

LOV AND LOVERS.
AFTER THE ENGAGEMENT.
BIZ MRS. ssoaer WASHINGTON wrIIrs.


Engaged to be married." And is this
the end of all trials and tribulations on
this side the grand event of matrimony?
Are there no more troubles to be con-
quered, no more obstacles to be eneoun-
tered2 Do people cease to be human, and
begin to partake of the millennial ma
ture, when they become engaged? Alas!
an engagement is but the first step in that
long hand-in- hand journey where the
strongest feet become weary, and the bra
vest heartis too apt to become disheart-
ened. H#
And what comes next2 Why,yoa have
given yourself, body and soul, into the
pessessienof half hundred busy gossips
who immediately set themselves at work
to discover your faults and her de6cien-
eies, and triumphantly adduce reasons
innumerable why you and she are the
last persons in the world to make each
other happy. If you ever, in the whole
course of your life, committed fault. no
matter how trivial or how long age, now
is the time it will be exhumed from its
resting place of years and held up as a
witness against you! If you ever said a
rash or a foolish thing in an 1nguarded
moment, it viii start out before you like
the invisible writing when exposed to the
action of heat In short, you will be
compelled TO run a 6gurative gauntlet,
day by day and week by week. Do you
| ask Why? That is just the question that
viii have to remain Insolved until you
can tell us,shy people do not confne their
attention to their own special affairs, and
sohy an engaged couple are supposed to be
every bodyis business but their ewD! We
only know that such is the fact.ia 8
From this tender interest of the good
natured world in everybody's confidential
arrangements springs the very common
mistake of keeping engagements secre,
up TO the very last moment. OF all err
rors this is the most short.sighted and
absurd. If you are ashamed of your en-.
gagement, break it off; if you are afraid
to take the consequences, own up frankly
and look at yourself in your true light
/ that of a moral coward. Be honest-bt
Straightforward and open, both in justic,
to yourself and to the other party con
eerned. Nobody ever yet gained any
thing by hiding the engagement ring un
der shallow tissue of deceit and lies
Nor is our language too strong, for liz
told BY fair lips lust for fun, Isl as mucl
lie as the network of treachery tina
covers the darkest crime ever committed
We have no patience with the counterfeit
modesty that shrinks from "having peo
pie know of an engagement" A mai
has no business at all with the bogus ar
ticle; and for girl, it is simply ridicu
lous. She can whirl through crowdee

Whisper it softly,
When nobody's near;
Letsnot those accents
Fall harsh on the ear.
She is a blossom
Too tender and frail
For The keen blast--i
The pittiless gale.
Whisper it gently,
twill cost thee no pain;
Gentle words rarely
Are spoken in vain;
Threats and reproachesj
The stubborn mayanovs-
Noble the conquest
Aided by love.
Whisper it kindly,l
Twill pay thee, to know
Penitent tear drops
Down her cheeks flow.
Has she from virtue
Wandered astray?
Guide her feet gently,
Rough is the way.
She has no parent,
None of her kin;
Lead her from error,
Keep her from sin.
Does she lean on theeY
Cherish the trust;
God to the merciful
Ever is just.
