Love In a Box.

The intelligence of novel elop-
ment has just reached us from New
Windsor, Maryland. A young and
enterprising mechanic Of that place
fell desperately in love, and resolv-
ed to marry very handsome but
young daughter Of a wealthy mer-
chant residing in the same place.
Everything was looking immen e'e
prosperous for the young co.,.
when the girls father discovo.
had recently become very .a
going out o nights, sand also tic cause.
He Immediately made a visit t7 ore
of his single sisters, accomran5-l
by his decidedly unwilling daughte-
and negotiations were entered into
for the aunt to take charge of the
dear little creature until her passion
had subsidized. Having the highest
confidence In his sisters ability to
perform the task satisfactorily, he
returned home, leaving the girl, and
looking as though quite load had
been removed from his mind. The
girl, being fully determined to mar
ry or dye, made good her escape
the first night of her bondage, re-
turned to her lovers home, found
him walking the floor Of his shop.
and in a short time after their happy
greeting was over the young man
might have been seen hurrying to-
ward his fathers stable. In a couple
of minutes a horse and spring wagon
was drawn up to the shop door, and
as daylight-the sworn foe to elo-
pers-was making its appearance, q
large box was thrown hastily into
the wagon, full of small air holes,
prepared expressly for the occasion.
and the girl crawled into that, was
hauled some twenty miles over q
rough pike to another town, and
there they were married.

Plants in Sleeping Rooms.

The Gardeners Monthly speaks Of
the popular idea that as plants are
known to give offcarbonic acid gas at
night, their presence in sleeping
rooms is consequently unwholesome
AS being nonsense and bug
aboo." 1t states that a sleeping in
faht in the rOom-which many of us
learn to tolerate-will ''exhale more
carbonic acid in one night than a hun
dred pot plants" and quotes certain
recent Investigations on the subject
by Prof. Kenzie, of the Michigan
Agricultural College. Prof. X. has
been analyzing air taken before sun
rise from the college greenhouse,
crowded with plants, and finds it to
contain actually a fraction less car
bonic acid than was present in the
atmosphere out of doors. A similar
examination Of air taken in the day
time showed still less than at night.
Prof. KS conclusion is:
Now. if a room in which were more
than 5000 plants, while containing
more carbonic acid by night than by
day contains less carbonic acid than
any sleeping room on this continent
we may safely conclude that one or
two dozen plants in room will not
exhale enough carbonic acid by night
to injure the sleepers."

tinkled against the windows of the
little room in which Pansie and her
father sat. Severe misfortune had
reduced them to proverty, and the
old man being an invalid, all the
care fell upon Pansie's slender shoul-
ders She sat with her sewing,
while her father read aloud from 81
new book she had bought for him
with some of the money received for
her jewels. Her sweet face was
wan and sad, and her future stretch
ed before her sad. hopeless and
gloomy. There was a ring at the
door and a servant brought up
package for Miss Fontenay. An
exquisite bunch of pansies, fragrant
and golden hearted, done up in tissue
paper, and attached to them q card
bearing the simple words: ROSS
Dunbar has not forgotten little
Pansie."
Pansie sat amazed for a moment
and their rich bloom darted up to
her white cheeks.
"Oh father ''she cried, knew him

Ross at last %
An instant later Ross was in the
room, clasping her fluttering hands
in his, and into her blue eyes with a
glance look that brought the rosy
hue to her face. And a few weeks

A DrunkaFd'S Warning.

A young man entered the bar
room of a village tavern, and called
for a drink. "No,' said the land
lord, ''you have too much already
You have had delirium tremens once
and l cannot sell you any more.''-
He stepped aside to make room for
couple of young men who had just
entered, and the landlord waited up
on them very politely. The other
had stood by silent and sullen, and
when they had finished he walked up
to the landlord, and thus addressed
him: six years ago, at their age,
stood where these young men now
are; l was a man with fair pros
poets. Now, at the age of twenty
eight, am a wreck, body and mind.
You led me to drink. In this room
l formed the habit that has been my
ruin. Now sell me a few glasses
more, and your work will be done !
l shall soon be out of the way there
is no hope for me. But they can be
saved they may be men again
Do not sell it to them. Sell it to me
and let me die, and the world will be
rid of me but for Heavens sake
sell no more to them p The land
lord listened, pale and trembling
Setting down his decanter, he ex-
claimed: "God helping me, that is
the last drop will ever sell to any
one :" And he kept his word.

A Good Example.

Mr.. Clay, in a debate upon the
Loan Bill, remarked that for twenty
or thirty years neither he nor his
wife had owed any man dollar.
Both Of them, many years gone by,
had come to the conclusion that the
principle of economy was this:
"Never to go in debt; to indulge
your wants when you were able to do
so, and to repress them when you
are not able to indulge them" The
example is not only good one in
itself, but comes from high source.
To repress q want is one of the
wisest, safest, and most necessary
principles of political economy. 1t
prevents, not only the dangerous
practice Of living beyond our means.
but encourages the safe precedent of
living within them. If all would
live within their means. the world
would be much happier than it il.

SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

Into ward of the whitewashed halls
Where the dead and the dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,
Somebody's darling was borne one day.
Somebody's darling, young and brave
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet face
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave
The lingering light of his bOyhood's grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold,
Kissing the snow of that fair young brow,
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from the beautiful blue-veined brow
Brush all the wandering waves of gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's darling is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mates take
They were somebody's pride, you know.
Somebody's hand hath rested here
Was it a mothers, soft and white7
Or have the lips of a sister fair
Been baptized in their waves of light?
God knows best! He has somebody's love,
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn on the wings Of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
And there he lies with his blue eyes dim,
And the smiling child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave a tear;
Carve in the wooden slab at his head;
Somebody's darling slumbers here"

MisrelIan
II n e Il IN G al d = .

One wintry afternoon in January,
away up in the bleak attic of q
wretched tenement house, a pale,
sad eyed woman sat sewing. The
garment upon which she was enga-
ged was a very rich dress. The
twilight closed in rapidly, blind
ing fall of snow, a bitter. wailing
blast, that made the windows rat
tie in their easements. Still the
pale faced woman stitched on.
Mother piped q slender voice
from the cot beneath the window,
shall you get the fine dress done
Oh, my mother, I'm so hungry, if l
could only have some tea and a bit
of sausage
The mother worked on steadily
for a few moments. paused only to
brush tear from her white cheek,
then she arose and shook out the
glimmering robe.
Its done at last" she said !;
''now mothers little girl can have
her supper, only be patient little
longer, Flora. Ross, Ross, where
are you my boy!'
A manly little fellow came out
from the little bedroom beyond.
The dress is done, Ross said
his mother, ''and you must run home
with it as fast as ever you can. Miss
Garcia will be out of patience, 1
know. Tell her couldn't finish it
one moment sooner, and ask her to
give you the money. We must have
it to night. And you can stop at
Mr.. Rays as you come back and
buy some coal, and we must have
some bread and tea. and mite of
butter, and you must get a sausage,
Ross, for poor little Flora.
IN get EN- all MOTHER he said,
''and be back in no time. You shall
have a big sausage, little sis,'' he
added, turning toward the cot.
The girl nodded her curly head,
and her great wistful eyes sparkled
with delight.
"And you shall have half of it,
Ross she piped, in her slender,
bird voice.
Hadn't you better put on your
thick jacket, my boy?' continued
his mother; ''the wind cuts like
knife"
"Pshaw, little mother; 1 don't
mind the wind And away he
went down the creaking stairs, and
out in the storm. Miss Garcia Fon-
tenay was in perfect furore of i'm
patience and anger. Her dear five
hundred friends were assembled in
the halls below, and the handsome
dress had not come home. What
did that beggar woman mean by dis
appointing her? At that moment
there was ring at the door, and a
voice in the hall.
please tell Miss Garcia my
mother could not finish it sooner;
she wants the money tonight" The
servant took the handsome dress and
message.
"Pll never give her another stitch
of work. cried the angry beauty;
81 ought to have had it three hours
ago. Here, Fanchon, dress me
at once. there's not a moment to
lose! No, 1 can't pay tonight. ]
haven't time. He must call to-
morrow
But, we've no fire and nothing to
eat, and my little sister is SICK
called the boy pushing up the grand
stairway.
Shut that door, Fanchon - COM
manded Miss Garcia. And the
door was closed in his face.
From the porch at the parlor win
dow Pansie watched the whole
scene. her violet eyes distended
with childish amazement.
Poor little boy" she said, as
Ross disappeared down the stair

CONSULTATIONS IN "OLD TINES" TO TIE Con-
pEuSED.-The New York Tribune in CEN
surfing the matter of publishing great re-
wards for rogucs and assassins, and also
making great fuss about the detectives te-
ing after them, compares it to sounding the
tantarara when attempting to trap q rat and
thus frightening all the rats in the house.
These measures to catch the assassin cause
innocent persons to be arrested and injured
By accusation while the guilty escape-as for
instance, in the Nathan murder case, some
baf.dozen innocent persons have been i'm
prsoncd, examined, and discharged to their
lasting dctrment. 1t adds:
"The Council of Ten has been a much
abused institution so long time that every
school-boy has had his fling at it, together
with the lnqlIisition and the rotten mon
arches Of Europe as al enemy OF liberty,
but il had its advantages. The innocent
man was condemned by less than i dozen
masked old gentlemen, who were bound to
keep their own counsel Tor their own sakc5 !;
the whole nation WAS not called in to partakc
of their injustice: and the guilty man, as he
tumbled into the canal in sack, had the
consolation of knowing that was really the
end of him. He would not be visited in his
last gasp by 4 score Of reporters, nor have
his collin and corpse photographed Tor the
morning papers. There are many items
of the civilization of these etlete monarchles
which we may study to advantage ii we do
not borrow Them"

The sentiments expressed by MIR. JelIer-

Inv most southern newspapers, and so far as
the Times is aware, were fully indorsed by
ONLY one of them, the Richmond D,Spdtcn.

This is 4 great mistake, rs our readers
know. We believe the Dispatch was the
first paper in the State to object to Mr.. DA-
yIs's spcech, not because We thought he had
no right to speak, but because he spoke rs
lie did. We contended that it was highly
improper for bin to express opinions when
by implication were unjust to the southern
soldiers and their leaders, and that 1t was
cruelty wrong in him to utter sentiments
that were calculated to inillme the Sec
tional feelings to the injury of the southern
people. We quoted st. PAUL, who SAID:
IF meat make my brother to offend, L VIII
cat no feshwhile the world standeth," andap-
piled it to Mr.. DAVIS by interpreting st. PAUL
as declaring in effect, that he would make
"the greatest of sacrifices rather than
"be the (even nnocent) cause of injury 10
his brother;" adding $50 ought Mr. DAVIS
to feel" and so indeed he ought to act.
