We clip the following from the Port
land Argus:
A young Maine man, who is engaged
in the commercial travelling business
for Chicago house, was travelling out in
the fer West, when he was taken poses
sion Of on the train by two men, who
simply informed him that they were Off
GERS and wanted him. He eSpostulated,
explained demanded explanations, etc.,
but all 10 vsin. No one on the train
knew him. and there were those who did
know the officers. All that he could get
out of them was thathe was the man they
wanted. in this way he was taken some
ninety miles into the interior. Upon
arrival he had no longer to remain in
ignorance of his supposed offense, the
whole village being out to welcome him
with such cries as Here's the id
horse thief, caught at last. Let's string
him up" 4
The officers made some show Of re-
sistanee. bat the excited mob took pos
session of their victim and marched him
into town, near the center of which a
moose was already strung over the limb
Of tree. Our friend thought il was all
up with him sure. ExpOstulation was
received with derision. Everybody rec
ognized him as a notorious horse thief,
whose depredatious had been continued
and extensive. A horse thief in that
section is looked upon as something
worse than an average murderer. There
was not a plying eye in the crowd, and
the universal howl was Lynch himr

travelling business had ruined him Tor

a happy thought struck him. His Ma

Tho Ase OF shams.

Prom the London Society,"
II We were called upon 10 say what Is
the distinctive characteristic Of the age
In which we live, We should be inclined
10 designate i as an age OF ahams. I'm
reality creeps into everything. The
grayest matters are tainted with IL.
Even in religion, where unroalities
should find no place, there is contention
about externals which are devoid OF any
real meaning Bishops aud clergy con.
tend Tor pastoral stats aud yestments,
when they no longer have the things
they symbolic. Language is made to
conceal the truth, and exaggerations
distort il. Professions OF friendship
are hollow, aud treachery undermines
the closest ties. In the political world
We hear il forever stated that parties are
betrayed by their chiefs, aud that prin-
oiple Is at a discount. And in the
smaller details OF life we find that,
instead Of the instincts OF nature rebel.
ling against anything that is unreal
there il on appetite for IL; that shams
are in favor, aud that every one Is at
tracted by them rather than otherwise.
In the matter now before us, we find this
TO be especially the case. False hair,
false color, false ears. are used without
conjunction where they are considered
10 be needed. The consequence is that
woman has become an imposture. We
do not, Of course, refer 10 those per
fectly innocent embellishments which
relate TO the preference of one dress TO
another. or for one style over another.
These are most legitimate and innocent.
We refer to those impostures in dress by
which things seem TO be which are not,
and the adoption Of which is in itself
great indignity TO the whole race Of wo-
mankind. No one is bound to dress
herself unbecomingly; but, on the con-
trary, is more than justified in making
the best use Of natures gifts. Our pro.
test is against the introduction Of novel.
ties by which women are taught TO i'm
pose upon the world, which cannot fail
to have n demoralizing influence over
them, and which deseerates that mod
esty which is the best jewel woman can
wear
