THE LATE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.

An exchange gives biographical sketch OF
the Marquis of Hastings, who died drunken
pauper in England, few weeks ago, at the
age of 20. 1t says:
He was fair specimen of the fast young
man of the British nobility. 1t is related OF
him that, at Is years of age, he owned the
finest Yacht in Europe and strange stories
were told of the orgies held on board this YES
sci as her noble owner sailed the seas with his
mlstresses and boon companions. At nineteen
he was very handsome, and his betting book
was the wonder of the metropolis. One day
he would be in the French capital, making his
betting book and taking great odds at the end
of a week he would be in the Mole OF Naples
with pretty ballet girl, watching the loading
of his pleasure yacht with Italian wines and
fruits of the South Their he would make trip
to the Carpathians and be again, on the great
DERBY day, at EPSON Downs, standing before
the grand stand, the observed of all observers,
his book good for twenty or thirty thousand
pounds, sometimes all Wagered on one horse.
Three days later the keel of his yacht would
be cleavng the waters of the Baltic IN search
of adventure, and so back again to enjoy the
uprOar of the London fashionable world.
His family is one of the Oldest and noblest
in England, and he inherited vast fortune, his
rent roll being over 100000; yet he died 4
pauper, his estates in the hands of creditors,
and his revenues lost among blacklegs and
sporting turfmen. For racing and fine horses
he had great passion. His stable was filled
with blOoded horses, and one or more OF these
he entered at nearly every race which occur
red in England, betting upon them against the
advice of his friends, and losing large sums.
In 1867 he appeared at the Derby in very en-
barrassed circumstances. His horses were
beaten in every race, and young Hastings lost
100000. This sum, however, he paid, and in
October of the same year he lost S25O,OOO ad-
dtional, owing to the unexpected failure of his
horse Lady Elizabeth, who had won everything
but the one race on which her owner had So
great a stake. In still another race that same
year he lost 500, O00 and this last sum broke
him up.
Thus in less than ten years from the begin
ming of his career of prohgacy, he succeeded
in losing his fortune, his health and his honor
and in almost every possible way dlsgracine
the name he bore and the class he represented
He had married the Lady Flora Paget, who
was at the time engaged to another gentleman
and his domestic life was as scandaous as his
sporting career.

IT'S CHEAPER TO LIVE THAN TO DIE.

BY CARRIE RAYMOND.
1t is cheaper to live than to die.
OH list to my homily, stranger,
For why should we worry and sign
While an oat is still left in the manager:
Let us live the full length OF our Gays,
And enjoy the bright hours OF life cheer4u4iy'
For tell you when Death chants ms lays
His notes will cost you most BEAUTIFULLY
There's Ills
And there's pills.
And there's bills,
Of all the spare change they Will PICK ono'
With notions,
And lotions,
And pOtiOnS,
TO physic and stuff poor SICK oue.
Suppose that our -four is so dear. ~
And bread weighs next to nothing all,
Can we help it by shedding tear
Or hinder its rise and its fall!
If poverty swings at the gate,
And coal in the cellar is low,
Will tear add fuel to the CRATE,
Or a sigh make the dead embers glow:
No signing,
No crying,
No dying
Be happy while life has breath;
For moaning,
Atoning,
And grooming,
Will come soon enough after death,
It's cheaper to live than to die,
Though journey through life be dear one;
For what do we gain if we fly,
When misfortune is lowering near one
Would you seek to escape from MES toils'
BY destroying the life that He gave
You'll find you're not free from It's orolls'
For they'll follow you still to the grave
There's troches,
And breaches,
And coaches,
And the drink for our friends who VIII wake us ;
And the purse,
And the hearse,
And what's worse.
The long bill of the short undertakers.
Do not think that the words of my song
TO all human hearts do apply;
For if some that know live too long
It's because they are too mean to die.
Look up, then, at Hopes brightest star,
And wipe from thy face the salt tear
For you'll find warm bed is, by far,
More pleasant than is cold bier.
Don't be said,
Nor yet mad,
But still glad,
But keep thy heart light, and merry one;
For just mind,
And you'll hnd
If not blind,
That it's cheaper to iced than to bury one.

TIE BOWELS OF THE EAKrH.-W. Frank
Stewart SAYS. in a recent communication 10
the San Jose Patriot, that ever siAce the great
earthquake shock man! Of the people OF the
San Jose valley are in dread lest the ground
NAV open and swallow them up, He writes
to nllav these fears, and in so doing, says:
At the depth of from soto 800 feet brlo" the
surface of the lands surrounding the southern
end of the bay of san Francesca, there Is
fresh water lake, or basin, filled with antedlIu-
Wan logs, bones OF extinct animals. gravel, sand
and fresh water Immediately everything tins

and give a reason why the water flows out with
such force at the surface when the basin Is
tapped. During an earthquake all bodies lose,
temporarily. portion of their specific weight,
and light matter such as water has tend"n-
cv to fly upward. This tendency to fly upward
facilitates the existing hydraulic pressure of
our confined artcsan basin. and causes the
swaying sand and water to break through the

accounts nationally for the assures and mud

MAYBE SO-MAY-BE Worthless things
are said by somebody, are true IN some cases ;
not so in others:
Women like men who flattrr them, but love
those who despise them. Every man, by the
general law, loves all women; all women love
one man. Men are by nature pnlygamlsts.
Magnificent lovers make wrctchcd husbands,
and excellent husbands the worst Of lovers.
Women become attached to men not for what
men do for them, but what they can do for
men. Gratitude paves the way to their esteem,
but selfishncss opens the road to their love.
The smallest tenderness outweighs with a wo-
man the greatest sacrifices; she would forget
the hero who would die in her behalf for the
mere gallant who would give her carcsses aud
nothing more When women's hearts are
touched they are all kindred; the mercst dow
DIV then becomes the sister of the proudcst
duchess Women desire to love primarily, and
men to be loved; hence women ldollzc and
men analyze the objects of their affection If
woman will not love you make her hate you
and she is half yours, for hate is too unnatural
to her to last, and its first rebound Is tender
ness, the second passion. Men never love wo-
men whom they do not, and women never love
men whom they do understand. Forever
i'm the rhetoric of wOman's affection is a sen.
timental hyperbole, meaning period of exactly
| two months
