NEcK-TIE PARTY.-Neck tie parties have been
inaugurated in Wilmington. Last evening quite
number of young ladies and gentlemen met at
the residence of Miss c.. and thence proceeded
to Mr.. d. Is, on Seventh street, where party of
this kind was held. AS many neck-ties as there
were young ladies' present, were placed in en-
velopes and put into basket, where the gentle
men selected an envelope and proceeded to
another room, in quest of his lady for the even
ing. As they had to select the lady wearing a
dress of the same material of which the neck-tie
was made, there could be no partiality on account
OF beauty shown by the gentlemen. After this
procedure was done with, the evening was spent
in general merry-making, during which time a
bountiful supply of refreshments were disposed
Of. AT the close of the evenings amusements a

timable lady, and the party adjourned.

Love and Selfishness.

Harriet Beeohor Stowe, in Pink and
White Tyranny, this truthfully portrays
the love of a very large class of people:
Many women suppose they love their
husbands, when unfortunately, they have
not the beginning Of an idea What love is.
Let ne explain it to you, my dear lady.
Loving to be admired by man, loving to
be petted By him, loving to be oaressed
by him, and loving to be praised by him,
is not loving a man. All these may be
when a woman has no power of loving at
all-they may all be simple when she
loves herself, and loves to be fattered,
praised, caressed and coaxed as cat
likes to be coaxed, and stroked, aud fed
with cream and have warm corner.
But all this i. not all love 1t may
exist to be sure, when there is lovo, it gen.
orally does. But it may also exist where
there is no love. Love, my dear ladies,
if self sacrifice it is a life out self and in
another. It's very essence is the prefer
ring of the comfort, the ease, he wishes
of another to ones own, for the lore we
bear them. Love is giving, and net re-
ceiving Love is not sheet of blotting
paper or sponge, sucking in everything
to itself is is an out-springing fountain
giving from itself. Loves motto has been
dropped in this world as chance gem Of
price by the loveliest, the fairest, the
strongest Of lovers that ever trod this NOR
al earth, of whom it is recorded that He
said :: 'It is more blessed to give than to
receive" Now in love, there are ten re-
ceivers to one giyer. There are ten per-
sons in this world who like to be loved,
and love, where there is one kacNs how
to love.

An Eastern Love Story.

Kusa Jatakaya, Buddhistic legend,
has been rendered for the first time into
English verse, from the Sinhales, by
Thomas Steele, of the Ceylon Civil Ser
vice, and published in London by Trub-
ner 4 Co. It is the story of an Indian
Prince, son of the greatest sovereign of
Dambadiva (India), who is gifted with
every intellectual and moral quality, but
i'll favored in his personal appearance,
asks in marriage princess of grea;
beauty, and has her brought in pomp to
the court of the king, his father. AS
soon as the lovely Prabavati has seen
her bridegroom, Prince Kusa, in broad
day light, she takes to fight and returns
to her fathers house. Kusa follows her,
and after practising various trades in the
town where her father reigDs, ends by
obtaining access to the palace, where, as
a cook, he distinguished himself by his
uncommon talent. But neither his Gull.
nary skill nor his lamentations move the
heart of Prabavati and, being insult
ingly rejected, he is induced to return
to his native town. Immediately after
his departure, seven kings arrive, each
at the head of an army, to demand the
hand of Prabavati. The father OF the
princess is much embarrassed if he be
slows his daughter upon one OF the seven,
the other six will unite against him in
war which may ruin his country. In
this dilemma, the king, touched with
compassion, for his people, decides that
his daughter shall be cut into seven
pieces, and the portions carefully equal
ized so that the seven suitors may be
satisfied, and no one made jealous.
The prospect of this sevenfold marriage
causes Prabavati to reflect she begins
to consider that Prince Kusa, whom she
so arrogantIy rejected, is certainly not
handsome. but full of intelligence, OF
copstancy, and love; that he is the son
of the most powerful king, and at the
head of the most brilliant court to be
found she declares herself therefore
ready to accept him as her spouse. kusa
has ia the meantime returned by his
superior talents, without shedding oi
blood. he defeats and takes prisoners
the seven kingly suitors and as his
clemency equals his bravery, aud FRA
bavati fortunately has seven sisters, h'
gives one iu marriage to each oil th'
conquered kings. As for himself, hi
ugliness is suddenly transformed int
beauty, he is married to Prabavatl, "an'
they both liye happy ever afterwards.

Save the Youth.
BY REV. E. B. SANFORD.

Alcohol is a demon whose clutch is
seldom relaxed after it has once gained
firm hold of it's victim. Those who have
undertaken the work know how hard 1T
is to reclaim the confirmed druukard
Our hope is in saw ng the young and call
ing back those who are just crossing the
threshold of the dram-shop. If the boys
aud girls of this generation are educated
to love the cause of temperance and hate
the Intoxicating cup, the future will be
redeemed from the curse that Is now des-
olating SO many hearts and homes
How large portion oil those who to-
day are crying out in their agony, "W ho
shall deliver us from the body of this
death ?" would never have fallen if they
had been cduated right in early life.
The time for instruction is before op-
portunity has been given for the forma-
ton of evil habits. The impression OF
youth are stamped the deepest.
Gather the children in, not only from
Christian homes, but also from the by
ways and hedges.
Paint the character of the destroyer.
Arouse their enthusiasm and let them
feel that they are in the ranks of the
army that is battling against intemper
| ance. One of the most successful or
ganizations in our parish is The BanC
of Hope" started by few Christian wo
men. 1t has enrolled nearly all of tht
youth of the community.
They hold their meetings on the frs
Monday evening of every month VIII
their temperance dialogues, and speeches
aud paper made up of the contribution
of the members, they have pleasan
time, and they are proud to be spoken o
as temperance boys and girls.
While we are not forgetlul of the poo
victims of appetite, and believe in work
ing hard to shut up every dram shop wit
the law there is no place where hop
shines iBto our heart so brightly as in thi
gathering where We meet the children
