Making Love.

In Seville, which is popularly sup
posed 10 be in Spain, there is in use a
most felicitous invention in the way OF
makiAg love, clandestinely. After dark,
young caballeros steal beneath their
ladys lattice-which, perchance, is in
the third story-and softly unserewing
the handle of their walking-sticks, pro-
eeed to extract from the same, which are
hollow tubing, screwing them together
after the fashion of a japanese fishing
pole, or the old apparatus wherewith
sweeps clean chimneys. A mouthpiece
is fitted into each end, and one raised to
the window above. Soon by the aid of
his improvised speaking-tube, two souls
with certain unanimity Of thought, and
two hearts with possible unison or pull
sation, are softly communing.
Now. all this is very nice seduciively
romantic, and all that sort Of thing;
but mark what the knowledge of it
brought to a certain youth Of Baltimore.
He had read Of it or heard Of it, and
happening to have a surreptitious aifec-
ton for a young and wealthy lady, which
she as surreptitiously reciprocated, he
determined, with her conniyance, to
avail himself Of K. He got tin pipe
of the desired length, made by a timer,
and in each end Of it placed, for want
Of better mouth-piece, a funnel De
licious conversation went on, he sitting
on the top of water barrel, and she

leaning from the window above. They
would converse for hours, and exchange
all the nonsense in the world, ard then
he would unhip his apparatus, put the
tunnels in his pocket, wrap the pieces
up in a newspaper, and 20 home in a
condition of ethereal bliss.
The course OF true love never did run
smooth, and one evening the old gentle
man, smoking in the back garden at an
unusual hour, saw the young gentleman
arrive, fix his apparatus and commence
his soul-communing operations. He
made up his mind in minute. He went
into the kitchen and asked for a pitcher
Of boiling water; it was handed TO him,
and off he posted up stairs. Just as he
reached his daughters door he com
menced calling her. So telling her lover
to wait a moment, she came TO the door
Nelly, my dear, run up to my room and
get my spectacles; I'll wait here till you
come down" She disappeared up stairs
and he stole cautiously to the window.
The moment he touched the funnel the
amorous and dunsuspecting youth clapped
his mouth to it to resume where he had
broken Off" my darling, you cannot
imagine how" Just then the old
gentleman commenced assiduously fill
ing the tunnel with hot water, and the
rest of the miserable youths sentence
was never heard. He wore -four on his
face for fortnight after, and declines
to go into society just at present

what Girls shouId DRINK.

DR.. Dio Lewis, in his book, "0ur
Girls, says:
am astonished that a young woman
who is ambitious Of clear, fine skin
should drink tea. 1t is a great enemy to
fair compilations. Wine, coffee and
cocoa may be used without tinging the
skin; but as soon as tea-drinking be-
comes a regular habit, the eye of the
discriminating observer detects it in the
skin. Tea compromises the complexion,
probably, by derangiug the liver. Weak
tea or coffee may be used occasionally
IN moderate quantity, without harm
and those who live much in the open
air, and are occupied with hard work,
may drink either, in considerable guam
titles, without noticeable harm-but /
advise all young women who would pre-
serve a soft, clear skin and quiet nerves,
to avoid all drinks but cold water 1t is
an excellent practice to drink one or
two glasses Of cold water on. lying down
at night and on rising in the morning.
If you have good teeth and can help the
food into your stomach without using
any fluid, except the saliva, it will, in
the long run, contribute much 10 your
health.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.


There is many a rest in the road of life
five could only stop to take it;
And many a tone from the better land.
If the queruious heart would make ii.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better to hope tho the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never a night without day,
Or an evening without mornings;
And the darkest hour, as the proverb says,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure.
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's hoard of treasure.
1t may be the owe of a little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
Of our curious lives asunder;
And thus blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder.

About a Distinguished Clergyman.


From the Congregationalist.l
A few days ago two young men went
from Massachusetts to Hartford to make
a visit. They were excellent in every
way, and carried little religious cards in
their pockets, with suitable notices, in
order to SOW seed by the wayside. They
were very anxious to see DR.. BUSHNELL
and yet did not feel bold enough to call
on the great man The relative whom
they were visiting was engaged in one of
the banks, and told them that the Doctor
was in the habit of Dropping in there
pretty often; and that, in fact, he must
come in soon, as there was some money
awaiting him. One morning while the
two were in the bank, thinking perhaps
the Doctor might happen in an elderly
man, with a felt hat put on rather slouch-
lily, a grayish black suit, big oak walk
ing stick, >and the air of a well-to-
do, bluff, outspoken farmer, came
in as though he belonged there, and re-
ceived a thick roll of greenbacks from
the cashier. They had that vile smell
which money much handled gets, and
the old gentleman (it was DR.. Bushnell)
began in his sharp way to jerk out some
thing about this filthy currency" and
to stigmatize it with terms good deal
more formidable than elegant The
young men looked at the elderly one
with a good deal of commisseration,
and overhauling their religious cards,
picked out one, and, approaching him,
put it into his hand. 1t contained the
words, Are your thoughts pure2"
What the doctor thought can hardly be
imagined, but we can conjecture what
the young men thought when their friend
came out from behind the counter, un-
conscious of what had passed, and intro
duced them to Rev. DR.. Bushnell, of
whose piety they had heard so much,
and whom they so greatly desired to see.
History drops the veil on the scene at
just this point.
