MAN In THE MOON.

The origin of the expression, Man
in the moon, is unknown. This name
has, from time immemorial, been appli-
edit the dark lines and spots upon the
surface of the moon, which are visible
to the naked eye, and which, when
viewed through good telescope, are
discovered to be the shadows of lunar
mountains. 1t is one of the most pop
ular and most ancient superstitions of
the world that these lines and spots
arc the figure of a man leaning on a
fork on which he carries a bundle of
thorns or brushwood, for stealing
which on Sunday he was confined to
the moon. The account givenin Num-
bers XIV. 80, ct seq, of man who was
stoned to death for gathering sticks on
Sunday, is supposed by some to be the
origin of this belief Dante supposes
Cain to have been the offender who was
placed eternally in the moon for pun
ishment of his crime. Some of the
old poets thought these spots and lines
represented by the Endymion, whose
company the moon loved so we'll that
she carried him constantly with her.
Other ancients thought theyrepresent
ed fox.

sPIRGEoN ON c0MMuNIoN.

The English edition Of Mr.. Spur
geon's sermon on the text, "These are
they who separate themselves" Jude
10, contains some outspoken words
against close communion, from which
we quote:
" There is not Christian beneath
the scope of Gods heaven from whom
| am separated. At the Lords table
| always invite all Christians to come
and sit down and commune with US.
IF any man were to tell that | am sep
arated from the Episcepalian, the Pres
byterian, or the Methodist, l would
tell him he did not know me, for love
them with pure heart fervently, and
| am not separated from them.
The pulse of Christ IS communion
and woe to the Church that seeks
to cure the ills of Christ's Church by
stopping its pulse think it a sin to
refuse to commune with any one who
is a member of the Church of our
Lord Jesus Christ. | should think
myself grossly in fault, if at the foot of
these stairs / should meet truly con-
verted child of God, who called him
self Primitive Methodist, a Wes-
leyan, or a Churchman, or an indie
pendent, and | should say, No, sir /;
you do not agree with me on certain
points; [ believe you are a child of
God, but | will have nothing to do
with you | should then think the
textwould bear very hard on me, These
are they who separate themselves, SEN
sual, not having the spirit. +"
This is good doctrine, and coming
from the greatest Baptist preacher OF
the age, will be hailed with delight by
thousands in that denomination who
long to be delivered from the thraldom
of close communion.-N. 7. Observer.

A Romance Of the War.

The San Francisco Call, of recent
date, gives the following history of a
romance preceding marriage recently
solemnized at the Grand Hotel In that
city:
In 1862, George Marshall, young
lawyer, in New Jersey, flung aside his
law books and took up arms on the
Northern side, ambitious to serve his
country and to win fame on the battle
field. For bravery he was promoted
to the rank of Sergeant, and shortly
thereafter, whilst near Harrer's Ferry
he was sent on a secret mission by the
General in command of the division
to which his regiment belonged
While proceeding in the direction Of
Leesburg he happened to pass farm
house, and heard a woman's cries as If
in distress. He rushed forward and
saw young woman in the hands of
two Confederate soldiers, who had
bound her and were about to place a
gag in her mouth.
One of the soldiers he shot, the 9TH
err fed, and the girl was released. Her
name was Ellen Mayfeld, the daughter
of wealthy land owner in Maryland,
and then on visit to some relatives.
who were absent when the attempt to
outrage her was perpetrated. Young
Marshall was favOrably impressed by
the young lady and she with him, but
the urgency of his expedition was mex
orable, and he had to depart almost
Immediately. At Antietam-a Lieu
tenant-he was wounded, and was car
RED to a barn and left there. He was
fast sinking, when several ladies APP
preached, and his eyes frightened
when among them he saw Miss May
field. The wounded officer was con-
veyed to the house of her father, who
had removed to Adams county, Penn
sylvania, and there he was tenderly
nursed until able to rejoin his regi-
ment. The two parted as lovers who
had not declared their passion, but
who understood each other perfectly,
and had resolved to correspond. Once
more the Lieutenant was wounded
at Nashville-and thereafter, most un.
accountably, the letters which had
been passing constantly between him.
elfand Miss Mayfeld ceased to pass
Thinking he had given offence, Lieu
tenant Marshall gave up writing, and
when the war came to an end he SET
out for California, and began business
in San Jose. Three weeks ago, porting
over the overland passenger list, he
noticed the name of Miss Ellen May
field. Ten years had elapsed but the
old love returned with ardor at sight
of the name, and Marshall sped away
to Sacramento to intercept the train.
In one of the palace cars he discovered
Miss Mayfeld. There was an instant
recognition and a glad meeting, and
marriage was the naturalresult as soor
as it could possibly take place. Now
the twain are in house keeping at San
Jose. The mysterious hiatus in the
correspondence was caused bya THEY
ing, mischievOus postmaster son.

A sEA-FARING MAN, who was re-
Gently married, gives the following
description of the bride and her ap-
paral, which we think will put some of
the g society" papers to the blush:
My wife is justas handsome craft as
ever left the millinery dry-docks, is
clipper built, and with a figure head
not very often seen ON small craft.
Her length of keel is five feet eight
inches, over all five feet eleven inches,
displaces twenty-seven cubic feet Of
air; of light draught, which adds to
her speed in ballroom; full in the
waist, spars trim. At the time we
were spliced shewas newly rugged, fore
and aft, with standing rigging of lace
and flowers, mainsail part silk, with
forestaysail of Valenciennes. Her
frame was of the best steel, covered
with silk, with whalebone stancheons.
This rigging is intended for fair wealth
er cruising. She has also set ofstorm
sails for rough weather, and is rigging
out a small set of canvass for light
squalls, which are liable to occur in
this latitude sooner or later. [ am
told, in running down the street before
the wind, she answers the helm beau
tifully, and can turn around in her own
length if handsomer craft passes her.

Preventive Against Cholera.

The Courier-Jourpal says: 1t is re-
reported that the Asiatic cholera is in
Louisville and other places. If this
be true use sulphur in your socks. A
half teaspoonful in each sock every
morning is enough. This will charge
your system with sulphurated hydro
gen, which DR. Herring-high authori-
ty with homoepaths-says is bar to
cholera, as you can see in his medical
work published twenty years ago
Many used it as above in st. Louis in
1866 and 1867, and / did not hear of a
case among such.

Little fresh yiolets,

Syeetly Illustrating
Innocent childhood;
Shy as the antelope
Brown as the berry
Free as the mountain air,
Romping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sun bonnets,
Prayed at the edges.

Needless of danger,

Stares at the stranger.

Feasting on cherries,
Trampling the blossoms,

The Way Indian Wars are Created.


4 dispatch from Laramie City, wy
oming Territory, says;
The bestinformation that can be OBJ
tanned in relation to the recent Indian
difficulties at Rawlins, develop the
fact that a dozen reckless men from
Rawlins attacked a gang of Utes with
out any cause or prOvOcation, and
killed six or seven and wounded as
many more, and captured several of
their horses and other property. They
had committed no depredations and
had been perfectly peaceable. 1t is
believed to have been -blooded
outrage by whites, for which they
should be promptly punished.

who inflicted mortal wound on Nor

is said that his mother was not far

CAUSE OF PUNY CHILDREN.-A
writer in the Home Journal New
York; asks two pertinent questions:
Why is woman so weak and
why so easily overborne IN the strug--
gle for bread :" Appleton's journal
answers by saying that woman is weak
because persistently Over-worked. She
ought to be generally employed, but
never exhausted. 1t is often remarked
that our grandmothers and great
grandmothers far surpassed the present
generation of women In constant,
heavy manual labor. But they really
overworked themselves, and that is
one reason the present generation Is so
weak. Women, like men need exer-
else, but not exhaustive labor. From
the latter they ought to be exempt.
Men ought to do the heavy work. The
race would then improve, physically
and intellectually. Farmers take more
care of their mares than they do of their
wives. When men are compelled for
a short time to do women 5 work, how
they do complain of its exhaustlng
and depressing character In child
hood, let the girl have the physical ac-
tivitv that boys have. When woman
hood begins. let the necessities of the
sex subordinate every other cOnsldera-
ton. There are then regular periods
when rest for the body is necessary (;
and during maternity she must rest or
else ruin the constitutions of her Off
spring. Hence. any labor which sstead-
women
Standing behind a counter all day is
worse than the average of house-work.
Let the women demand rest.
A CALIFORNIA paper reprints the
story of the duel thirty years ago, be
tween John Hampden Peasants, edl-
for of the Richmond Wing, and
Thomas Richie, Jr., editor OF the
Richmond Enquirer. The challenge
from Pleasant to Richie was one OF the
most extraordinary ever sent: | will
be on the Manchester side of the James
river, near the factory, between the rlv-
er and canal, tomorrow at D o'clock,
armed with rifle, pistol and sword.
We will advance and fire on each other
until one or both falls" This was
the substance of Mr.. Peasants 5 chal-
lenge. Mr.. Richie objected to it for
various reasons, among which were ::
Because it gives the challenging party
the choice oftime, and weapons, rig ht
invariably accorded by the code to the
challenged; because its terms are saw
age, sanguinary and revolving to the
tastes of civilized society Notwith
standing these objections, | will be at
the place, at the hour, armed in the
manner prescribed, and will defend
myself from any attack made on me.
When the duel came off, Peasants
was MORALLY wounded, but returned
Ritchie's fire, and continued to ad-
vance on him, and when within strik
ing distance, drew his sword, giving
Richie a severe cut on the lip, which
was the only wound the latter received.
Peasants fingered only few days,
and Richie ended his life by remorse-
full dissipation.
