Young Men and Marriage.

The Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., in
an article in the dissertation Monthly
discussing the obligations and duties of
young men, uses these words: "Ihe
true girl has to be sought for. She
does not parade herself as show-goods.
She is not fashionable. Generally she
is not rich. But, OIL what heart she
has when you find her-so large, and
pure, and womanlyl When you see it
you wonder if those snowy things out
side are really women. If you gain her
love, your two thousand are million.
She'll not ask for carriage, or first
class house. She will wear simple
dresses, and will turn them when it is
necessary, with no vulgar noagnifcat to
frowu upon her company. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your sky
parlor, and give you such welcome
wheu you come home that you'll think
your parlor higher than ever. She'll
entertain true friends on dollar, and
astonish you with new thought of how
very little happiness depends onmoneyl
She'll make you love hsme--if you don't
you're q brute-and teach you how to
pity, while you scorn, poor fashiona-
BILE society that thinks itself rich, and
vainly tries to think itself happy"

Doing Penance,

The wastes of New Mexico are likely
to become as famous for penance and
self.torture as were hedeserts of Egypt
in early Christian days. A recent trav-
eler in that region says that while at
Elizabethtown, New Mexico, lastspring,
his attention. was called to gang, of
forty men, who were carrying heavy
wooden crosses, and whipping them
selves. Some were stripped to their
lower undergarments,, except cloth
which covered their heads to prevent
recognition. They were walking slowly
along, and the blood was trickhng from
their lacerated backs. One stout Mexl-
can, bearing a heavy cross upon his
CALLED shoulders, was being whipped by
two attendants. He staggered along
until close to church, when he fell to
the ground with the cross upon him. He
was then raised to his feet, and his arms
extended by lashing them to a stick
which crossed his shoulders. These
penances are repeated every Lent.

Christmas Hymn.
I said to my darling maiden,

said to my darling maiden, g.
Sleep softly and quickly sleep,
From the sky in a chariot golden
: Tonight will the Christi Child leap.
With many a shining treasure
Is the tiny coach supplied;
And tomorrow, when awaking, ,.
Thou wilt find them by thy side"
And so fell asleep my maiden,
And whispered when she awoke:
"The little wheels of his wagon
I saw, and the ponies yoke.
Among the bright stars we're whirling
~ The little wheels round andround
And golden thread came twirling
And caught me up from the ground"
Z I"No no! the beautiful wagon
Will bring its treasures to thee;
Thou canst not thither, my maiden!
Thou stayest just here with me-"
And then the dear child grew silent,
And whispered never word;
But the golden thread she did spy lent
Wings and she flew as a bird"
She was so airy maiden,
' And her heart so made TO fly.
Enough. was fine thread golden
To draw her up to the sky.
+'s Us, too, far heavier laden, 'st
With sorrow and sin defiled:
Us, too, doth a fine thread golden
ID '- Draw after the dear, lost child. I'D 20

Food for Cholera.

Near Nashville is spring which has
been corrupted by the deposit of 200
cart-loads of filth. Persons who drank
of this water were taken with disease
which ripened into cholera. The first
victims resided in the immediate vicini-
ty of the spring, and used the water.
Not far from this is large brewery,
which daily gives off a disgusting stream
of refuse matter. The foul current of
liquid filth is conducted through por-
tion of the city in open bitches, which
empty into sewers which are in bad re-
pair, and at various points there are
holes through which the noxious effluvia
escapes and poisons the air. Nearly
every case of cholera has either been
near the spring or on the line Of the
sewer. ou .H. t.rs,i..f s1
