ject of being loved is very great; they
often mistake,a common liking for par.
ticular regard, and on this foundation
build up castles in the air and fill them
with all the treasures Of their bright
hopes and confiding love, and when some
startling fact destroys the visions, they
feel as if the whole creation were a blank
to them, and they were the most injured
of women. 1t is safer to be very skepti-
cal on the subject of being loved; but if
you do make the mistake, take all the
blame to yourself, and save your dignity
by secrecy, i you cannot keep from low

Good Style OF Hazing.

The New Bedford Mercury tells the
following wonderful tale OF college ha-
ling :" It occurred, if We remember
correctly, in 1862. 1t was noticed by
some sophomores that two country boys
had begun their ouse-keeping in a
room on the ground floor of one of the
college halls, with miserable apology
for bed, no carpet, no table, and only
two chairs as the sum total of their ont
fit. 1t was learned, also, that they pro-
posed to board themselves, and had
only few dollars for their food during
the term. On this hint they acted.
One night the poor, trembling youths
were summoned by soph, who was
not over courteous, to go to room MP
stairs. Up stairs they went, pale and
trembling, expecting to be dealt with
without mercy. They were detained
there an hour or so, not being modest
ed, but only quizzed by the circle of
sophs' in the room. Then they were
dismissed to their own room. When
they entered 1t 1t was over nice new
carpet. There was tasteful bedstead
and appurtenances, a study table, chairs,
lamp, a bookcase, stove, etc, and in
a closet they found provisions for sevs-
raj days. This was ha2ing to blessed
purpose. We fear that the example
stands almostor quite alone"

Dreadful Fall Down a Shaft.

The Rockville Republicon relates an
escaps from death that's almost incred-
ible:
Nelson Whitemarsh and Patrick Con-
don are employed in the shaft of the
Union Coal Company, of La Sale, Ill.
A few mornings since, having stepped
upon the cage to descend, after having
the signal all right. the drum around
which the cable runs, and which at the
time was somehow disconnected from
the other machinery, began to revolve
rapidly, and they knew that they were
riding to perhaps horrible death.
They struck the bottom. distance Of
253 feet, and breaking through the
three-inch planking. We're plunged into
the sump, which contained about ten
feet of water. Wonderful to relate,
neither of them We're killed, but com
ing to the surface they clambered up on
Nhe boards. The ear which was ascend
ing at the same time they were going
down, reached the surface with awful
momentum, and tore through the upper
works and wrecked nearly everything
in the immediate vicinity. Assistance
was sent below, and the injured men
brought to the surface, where vast
crowd of people had assembled. They
we're carried home and medical aid
summoned. Whitemarsh sustained a
fearful concussion or the hip, and is
bruised in several places. Condor was
not so seriously injured. No bones
were broken, and hopes are entertained
that with proper treatment they may

Curious Eleclii al Phenomenon.

A party of surveyors belonging to the
United States geological survey expedi-
ton OF 1872, had novel experience ON
the summit of peak near Cinnabar
mountain. When they were within five
hundred feet of the top, a storm came
up and they were enveloped in clouds.
The ascent was very difficult, rs the
fragment Of rock were sharp, and most
of them Sc, slidin. from beneath the
feet of the party as they clambered mp
ward.
One Of the company, however, sue
ceeded in reaching the highest point
and depositing his Instruments, when
he discovered that he was in the midst
of an electrical cloud, and his feel
ings not being OF the most agreeable
sort. he reiterated. AS he nearea the
remainder of the party they observed
that his hair was standing on end, as
though he were on an electrical stool,
and they could heara series of swapping
sounds. rs if he we're receiving the
charges of a number of FRACTIONAL cleo
trical machines.
Another member who attempted the
asco mt soon received shock which de-
terrell him. Tue peak was appropri-
atelv called Electric Peak. Its altitude,
as measured the following day, is 10,
992 feet above the sea.

Labor Strikes and Arbitration.

The reports OF the condition of the
iron trade in the north Of England show
that the system Of arbitration between
capitalists and workmen, which has
been the outgrowth of strikes and Pro-
tective Unions, is bearing good fruit.
A few years ago the statement that the
iron workers demanded m increase and
the iron-masters Il decrease in the rate
of wages, would have been the prelude
to protracted strike, involving great
loss to employer and employed as well
as to the community mt large. Bnt now
this statement is followed by the in
formation that the whole question will
be dealt with by the Board of Arbitra-
ton for the north OF England iron trade
at the next meeting, and that there is
no doubt that the decision, like those
hitherto given, will be satisfactory. All
the iron workers and iron masters OF
the district are controlled by the de-
cision OF the Board, which body settles
the rates of wages to be paid for the
ensuing three or six months, and at the
end OF the time thus agreed upon the
Board reassembles to hear the COM
plants and claims of employers and
workmen. and again fixes the rate to
be paid for limited period of time. A
similar system is pursued in the coal
mining regions of Pennsylvania.

A Modern Martyr.

When, only few weeks ago, the
cholera was raging in the slums Of Ber-
lin, young physician. scarcely pasthis
thirtieth year, made himself remarked
by the boldness and persistenoy with
which he entered the infected quarter,
md the apparent recklessness with
which he exposed himself to the co l-
tagion. 1t q worth while that his nan d,
shonld be recorded and well remem-
bered; it was Otto Obermeir. He had
another object in view besides that of
relieving and, if possible, curing, the
poor creatures whom he visited; he pro-
posed to himself to investigate, in the
presence of the living pestilence itself,
its causes and its development. At
last, the brave young soul thought that
he had discovered the clue: and, with u
heroism as far above the heroism of the
battlefield rs it is nobler to sacrifice
ones self to save men than to destroy
them, he resolved to test his discovery
upon himself.
1t was an awful experiment. ODER.
mcir knew full we'll that he staked his
life against the hope of conquering the
cholera. Obtaining from one OF his pa
tients some of the deadly choleraic
germs, he went deliberately to his
room, placed a table with pencil and
paper at his bedside, lay calmly down
npon the bed. opened vein in his arm,
and inserted the deadly poison. He
thought he had discovered how to neu-
traliae it; il so, man was master of the
pestilence forever more. But he was
wrong, and the error was fatal. Helived
seven hours, and then died; but during
those seven dying hours the young hero
observed, with scientific exactness, the
effects and progress of the disc ,se npcN
him, and one after another he noted his
observations down, until within the
very half-hour when the spirit left the
body. These notes are pronounced to
have the highest value, and will serve
the commission with new facts of the
first Importance; and SO the dying
legacy of Otto Obermeir may, after all,
lead to the victory which he condemned
himself to selfdestruction in irving to
achieve.

THE LATEST TnluMpn OF TEMPERANCE.

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE
We congratulate the, Temperance
world ON the success everywhere Mt
tending the use Of VINEGAR BITTnRs.
Certainly no preparation containing
alcohol has accomplished such cures OF
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, consti-
patton, and general debility, as we hear
of from oil quarters, as TIE results OF
this famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see spirit
uous liquors expelled from medical use,
if they can be safely dispensed with
and that they are not necessary in any
case of sickness, whatever its character,
appears at last to have been demon
strated, II public opinion is capable
of making any impression upon the
minds of the Faculty, they will ere long
introduce the most popular of modern
medicines into the hospitals, and pro
scribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article fair trial; it has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it.--COm.

DO Not Hurry.

People are talking of the way in
which the brilliant French physician,
the late DIR. Nelaton, used to perform
operations. While most finely accu-
rate, he was also calm and cool to a
marvel. One of his doctrines was that
there was no danger when correct
diagnosis had been made, and when the
surgeon knew what he was about. "If
you hate the misfortune to cut an
artery" he would say, remember
that syncope will not occur for two
minutes. and death only about as long
after. Four minutes is four times as
long as is necessary to place o ligature
ON a blood-vessel, provided that You
do not hurry" Never to hurry was one
of the elements Of his power. Once
upon time he gave voice to a clever
paradox which deserves to be remem.
bered by all surgeons lyon are go
ing too quick, he said to an assistant
I'VE have no time to lose"
