PAVE

The delicate paper collar (size immaterial)
was hastily torn off and being soiled on
both sides from turning, was disdainfully
tossed toward the replace, and the neck
tie flung on the foot of the bed.
The usual slow progres of removing the
shirt was ignored on this occasion sever
al impatient jerks, and then with sudden
stretch upward with the bony arms, off
went buttons up went muslin, and the an-
guIar shoulders of the wearer rose IN unre-
stricted freedom. The Snowy" night
shirt was then drawn over the head and its
delicate-cotton tape binding and graceful
folds of brown cotton flannel left to accom-
modate themselves to circumstances, "a
puff of fragrant breath" redolent of bad gin
and lemon from pair of tobacco stained
lips, and out went the light, and down
went the pipe on the table, Not being so
fortunate as to have any "Sallie" for a
room mate, and the household domestics
being aged and discrete he did not leave
the door unbolt ed, but with a growl at the
bacheloric sol itude of his couch, jerked
down the "kiver," plunged within, and af-
ter several moments of twiching, turning
and grumblng, settled on his back and a
fierce attack of snoring ensued, which clos
es the scene.
Imagine such a domestic existence as
this linked to the ethereal, dainted and re-
fined 'Miss Preston" Enjoy your little
maidenly privileges and arrangements
while you can, "NYiss Charlie" for we fear
that a variety of circumstances in welded
life would ruthlessy interfere with the
systematic course ascribed you in preparing
for nights rest.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION
---HoW A YOUNG MAN GOES TO
BED.

Having already told our readers how a
'beautiful and accomplished young lady
retires to pleasant Dreams" we copy from
the Indianapolis Herald the following "pen
picture" representing the other side of the
question: ......
A few days ago we published an extract
from story in the "Land we Love-" writ
ten by Miss Fannie Downing. 1t was en-
titled, How young lady goes to bed,'
aud although not an entire stranger to a
lady's boudoir, we cannot assure the less
enlightened of our sex of the fidelity or
truthfulness ofMiss, ,Fannies sketch. Doubt
less it afforded great satisfaction to the
majority OF male readers it did to US, we
know, and as slight return we intend to
disclose to her sex the manner in which a
young man goes to bed, and shall cite as
an example one of our own acquaintance
For convenience we adopt the same style
in which the other is written, and use the
past tense.
Dismissing his fuddled companion of the
evening at the street door, Master George
performed the task of ascending the two
flights of stairs leading to his own room,as
noiselessly as the weakness of his knees
would admit, and without other assistance
than that of his own unsteady fingers grasp
ing along the walls. Upon reaching the
room the coat was removed and flung al
the back of the nearest chair the vest
was handled more carefully, as the pocket
contained his watch, but the pantheon:
came off with a jerk.
After filling and lighting his pipe he
proceeded with the preliminaries. Some

With much tugging growing and swearing
the boots were removed, and the last ont

impetus from the foot that sent it flying t.
the furthermost corner. Removing then {

washerwoman's tub) an earnest and pro-
tracted inspection of the feet ensued, tht

INTRODUCTION OF ToMAToEs.-In rela-
tion to this valuable, healthy, and indispen.
sable vegetable, we see it stated, that dur
sng the autumn of 1878 sea captain, pay
ing a visit to friend in the interior of this
State, found in garden lot of tomatoes,
then denominated "love applea," and not
used for food because they were supposed
to be poisonous. The captain, however,
averred the contrary and soon produced
dish which he deGominated Catalonian
Salad. 1t was found to be very palatable.
and thereafter the tomato became favo-
rite, its reputation spreading rapidly over
the country.

At a recent wedding in Detroit, the
bridegroom was called on for song. He
cheerfully promised to comply, and said
he would give his friends new version of
"Hunkadori." On taking the paper from
his vest pocket, it proved to be-not slip
from a newspaper, as he had calculated, but
greenback which he had intended for the
clergyman's fee. Imagine the bridegroom's
CONSERVATION at the trick he had unwit-
tingly played on the clergyman and imag-
inc also the indignant surprise of the later
when he found only new version of "Hun-
kadori," when he wanted some money for
marketing next day! 1t is wellknown
rule of etiquette for the marriage fee to be
given and received quietly without exam.

THE BEAUTIES OF BIBLE Lam
GUAGE.

live need higher illustrations not only
of the power of natural objects to adorn
language and crafty taste, but proof that
here we find the highest conceivable beau
ty, we would appeal at once to the Bible
Those most opposed to its teachings have
acknowledged the beauty of its language,
and this is due mainly to the exquisite use
of natural objects for illustration. 1t does
indeed draw from every field. But when
the emotional nature was to be appealed
to, the reference was at once to natural
objects, and throughout all its books, the
stars, and flowers and gems, are prominent
as illustrations of the beauties Of religion
and the glories of the church.
"The wilderness and the solitary places
shall be glad for them, and the desert
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose"
"The mountains and the hills shall break
forth before you into singing, and all the
treesof the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fire
tree, and instead of the briar shall come up
the myrtle tree"
The power and beauty of the same OBJ
jects appear in the Savior's teachin5s.
The fig and the olive, the sparrow and the
lilly of the field, give peculiar force and
beauty to the great truths. they we're used 10
illustrate.
The Bible throughout is remarkable in
this respect. 1t is a collection of books
written by authors far removed from each
other in time, and place, and mental cul-
ture, but throughout the whole nature is
exalted as a revelation of God. Its beauty
and sublimity are appealed TO, to arouse
the emotions to reach the moral and lelig-
ious nature. This element OF unity runs
through all the books where references to
nature can be made. One Of the adaptions
of the Bible 70 the nature of man is found
in the sublime and perfect representation
of the natural world, by which nature is ev-
er made to proclaim the character and per
fection Of God. No language can be writ
ten that so perfectly sets forth the grand
and terrible in nature and its forces, as we
hear when God answers Job out of the
whirlwind. No higher appreciation of the
beautiful, and Of God as the author of beau.
ty, was ever exposed than when our Sav.

every leaf and opening bud to the Creators

A LADY MASON.

1t is principle of the Masonic Order
that women can not be admitted as mem
bers. The only exception to the practice
of this principle wa. in the admission ot
Lady Aldwortb, of England, In an ad-
dress, delivered some years ago Bro. Payne
thus alludes to the ladies, and the manner
in which Lady Aldworth was made Ma
son:
But ladies, whatever might be our feel
ings or desires with regard to your admis-
sion, there is one single word that pre-
vents it. And the ladies best know the
withing, blighting influence of that little
word-cAN't We simply can't do it.
Or landmarks are not so arranged, and
although we are the only losers, wo must
submit.
But let me let you into little secret
While we cannot admit you. perhaps you
can admit yourselves. Try it. Our ty-
lers are but men. Once in, perhaps you
are safe. There was once a female Ma
son, and here is her portrait, (showing the
portrait Of Hon. Mrs. Aldsworth, of Eng
land, in Masonic Regalla) Eliza St. Leger,
afterwards Lady Aldworth, of England,
was conducted through the awful and mys-
terious ceremonies of Masonry. Young
and beautiful, yet with that fortitude for
which her sex is remarkable, she passed
with intrepidity through those trials which
are sometimes more than enough for mas
culine resolution, and constituted a mem
ber that reflected a lustre on the
annals of Masonry. Her father, Lord Don
erail, by virtue of warrant No. $50, oc-
casionally opened Lodge at his own house,
his sons and intimate friends in the neigh
borbood assisting. Upon one occasion,
she innocently hid herself in the tapestry
Of the room used for lodge purposes, and
actually witnessed the successive steps OF
initiation. But towards the conclusion,
fear took possession Of her mind, and.
brethren, if at that point the stoutest hearts
quail in the lodge room, what must have
been the feelings of that young girl when
unlawfully beholding the CEREMONY
With light but trembling steps and almos,
suspended breath she glided along, unob
served by the members ofthe lodge who
were busily occupied with their work.
But horror of horrors before her stood q
grim and surly Tyler, with his long rusty
smord. Her shrieks alarmed the lodge
who all rushed to the door, and learned
that she had been in the room during the
whole ceremony. Here was case setting
at defiance all precedent. A consultation
was held, and she was made a Mason
She often presided as W. NJ. of her lodge
and esteemed it an honor to move in Ma
sonic professions, on which occacions
was her custom to precede her lodge in al
open pheton.
