A nice way Of overcoming bashfnl
scruplcs has been found in North Caro-.
lima. At recent wedding guest pro-
posed that one man in the company
should be selected as president; that this
president should be duly sworn to keep
entirely secret all the communications
that should be forwarded to him in his
official department that night that each
unmarried gentleman and lady should
write his or her name on piece of pa
per, and under it place the name OF the
person they wished to marry, then hand
it to the president for inspection, and if
any lady and gentleman had reciprocally
chosen each other, the president was to
inform each Of The rcsult, and those who
had not been reciprocal in their choice
were to be kept entirely secret. After
the appointment Of the president, COM
munications were accordingly handed up
to the chair, ard it was found that twelve
young ladies ard gentlemen had recipro-
cal choices, aad eleven of tho twelve
matches were solemnized

LEARN TO WA1r.-Of all the lessons
that humanity has to learn in life's school
the hardest is 10 learn to wait Not to
wait with folded hands that claim life's
prizes, without previous effort, but, having
struggled and crowded the slow years
with trial, see nc such result as effort seems
to warrant-nay, perhaps, disaster instead.
TO stand firm at such crisis of existence
to preserve ones selfpoise and self respect,
not to lose hold or relax effort, this is
greatness, whether achieved by man OF
woman, whether the eye of the world
notes it, Or it is recorded in that book
which the light OF eternity shall alone
make clear to the vision.

ROGER A. PRYoR.-The New York cor
Frespondens of the Chicago Tribune says:
"Eight years ago, Roger A. Pryor strut
ted through Main street in Richmond, all
eyes turncd-to follow him, and such re-
marks reached. his ears as helped to swell
even his inordinate vanity. To-day he
walks through Nassau street to his office,
and IN that crowded lane no ono is con
fscious of his presence, and few would
know who he is if he were named.
"After the surrender Of Lee and john
ston he came North, and has lived here
ever since. He says the South was whip
'ped;, that he has accepted the situation,
put the bitter past behind him, and gone
to work, and thinks it would be much bet
ter If his late companions i'll arms would
do likewise.
aPryor has little Of the old swagger, the
overwcening vanity, the supreme sslfcsn.
sciousness of other days. He takes no
part in politics, writes no letters, gives no
counsel, bus very wisely keeps silence,
and submits gracefully to the inevitable.
"Pryor is picturesque. looking brunette;
slight, erect, and graceful in figure; has an
intellectual face, with quite prominent
features; wears his hair long and behind
his ears; is an interesting and fluent talker,
winning in manners, and socially very
pleasant fellow. He has wife and family,
and is getting good practice. On the
whole, he is one of the best specimens !
know of reconstructed rebel, and shows
how much improved man may be when
he has had the nonsense fairly taken out
of him.

Irish Book Trade-There has lately been great
deal of activity in the publishing trade of Dublin:
New editions of standard works are being issued
at unusually low prices Irish Language Books,
as they are called, may be said to abound, the
price varying from one penny to eighteen pence.
Anecdotes of Dean Swift, Curran, and O'Connell
have large SALE each at one penny, and the va
reties of Irish song books at the same low price,
are numerous
Looking after the "TheOlOgues"-The famous
DR.. Duff, so long the head Of the Scottish Presby
terrain missions in India has been installed in the
University of Edinburgh as Professor of Evangel-
istc Theology, the object being to dffuse more
enlightened and earnest missionary spirit among
the students in theology. 1t seems that for some
reason the students have not taken proper inter
est in volunteering an attendance upon the lectures
of the Evangelistic Professor, and it is now urged
upon the General Assembly Of the Free Church to
place full attendance on DR.. Duff on the same
footing with the other parts of the regular course,
as requisite to lcensure.
