+" Chances Abroad. -

A very large audience gathered in AS
ISOLATION Hall to listen to Wendell Phil
lips lecture on "Glances Abroad. Mr..
Phillips said:
Ladies and Gentleman-It was a re.
mark of Professor Tyndall at the close OF
his chemical lecture in Boston last season
substantially thus: Il wish every Anne
rican could know England, and l wish
every Englishman could know America
for, - said he, my experience in these
States has convinced me that national
quarrels arise mostly from misconception,
from ignorance, one nation of the other,
and, said he, whatever brings ma
tons acquainted with each other that is
the largest stride toward peace" / had
the same idea in my mind when l gath
cred the materials for this hours talk
this glance at Europe-and endeavored
to gather up some of the traits and trifes
that make US better acquainted, AMI able
to prognosticate perhaps better the fu-
ture and the next generation. America
has been for the last seventy years the
focus of the worlds interest, and the
channel in which the world is moved
mainly has been that of material growth.
With the single exception of our having
worked off the poison of the slave system,
the growth of this country for the last
seventy yesrs has been material. 1t has
added nothing otherwise to the philoso-
ply of government it has thrown little
or no light on social questions the last
fifty years have shown US material growth
such as it is impossible that any other
fifty years will ever show. If l were to
say that the last seventy-fve years in the
world has shown progress such as three
centuries previous could not show, |
should not overstate the truth, because
this lavish development of steam power
and telegraph, and the immense devel-
opment of the cooperative effort of
moulding production, facilitating
production, chespening production. These
four great elements of material progress
have made such an exhibition of mental
force as it is not at all likely that any two
centuries will ever see again. But fol-
these the British government would have
ceased to exist at least generation ago
The next century will show us socia
| changes not material in my opinion.

Good Rules.

/. On rising IN the morning determine
in your mind the kind and amount OF
work which you intend to perform during
the day, and arrange the order in which
each part OF your self-assigned task can
be performed in the best manner, and
with the greatest ease to yourself. From
this order never depart, unless you are
compelled to do SO by invincible neces-
sity.
2 Before retiring to rest at night ex-
anime Yourself as TO how and to what eX-
tent you have accomplished the task
which you imposed upon yourself in the
morning; and should any part thereof
remain unfinished, or be finished ia an
unsatisfactory manner, sit up an hour or
two later than usual, in order 10 complete
your days work. Should you he unable
to get up your unfinished work in this
way, rise earlier than usual the next
morning, and devote to work that portion
Of the day which you usually devote to
recreation.
By persevering in the strict observ-
nnce of the two foregoing rules, you viii
soon ind that at night YOU Will very sell
dom have any unfinished or badly exc
cuted work LETT upon your hands to be
made up.
;. Never give a promise or make an
appointment without first having taken
into consideration the probability of your
being able promptly to fulfill the same.
I. Having once given promise or
made an appointment, never fail to fulfill
the same promptly and faithfully, if you
can possibly avoid making a failure If,
however, unexpected necessity should
oblige you to fail in keeping an engage
ment, if possible, notify the person with
whom the engagement has been made of
your inability to keep the same, in time
to prevent him from receiving inconve-
nience therefrom. If you cannot notify
the party in time to save him from incon-
venience, then let him know, as soon as
you can, the cause of your failure to keep
faith with hin.
The observance of these two rules will
add very much to the esteem in which
your neighbors and associates will hold
you.
). Answer all letters which you receive,
as soon after receiving them as you pos
sibly can, even when their contents may
not appear to you to render an answer
necessary, for the knowledge that his let
ter has been received and acknowledged
is always a source of qualification to the
writer thereof.
6. Never, when vexed and annoyed by
the ill-conduct or negligence Of those with
whom you are forced to mingle, permit
your vexation to show itself in any man.
ner that may be disagreeable or annoying
to persons who are innocent of having

y 50 ssshin2tOn Romance.

! From Washington Cor. y. y. Graphic.
\ beautiful young widow appears in
society this winter, whose story is very
romantic. Three years ago one Of the
! bellies of Washington was lovely girl who
passed most Of the season Cher first IN So
ciety) with Mrs. Admiral Lee. Miss
! Bessie Beale had many admirers, and
/ soon it was known that Mr.. Sturtevant,
of New York, was the favored sutton,
and in the spring the announcement was
made that a brilliant wedding the next
autumn would seal the happiness OF the
young lovers. But in July there was a
grand denouement. Mr.. Sturtevant dis
appeared from a ''Sound" boat on It's
way to Newport, and the supposition was,
and still is, that he accidentally fell
overheard and was drowned. Immedi-
ately after the announcement, which of
course caused great CONSERVATION, So
ciety was still further amazed by the pub
LEGATION of anOtice Of the marriage in j une
in Baltimore Of Mr.. Sturtevant and Miss
Beaie. 1t seems that the youTg people,
with the consent OF the brides mother,
were privately married but the express
stipulation was agreed upon that no pub
TIC announcement SHOULD NC ulduG ttHlii
the time previously fixed for the
wedding in October, and that the bride
should remain with her parents until that
time, and continue 10 receive visits from
the groom just as she had done thereto.
The marriage was duly proven, the GER
tificate being in regular form, and the
young widow, the period of whose wife
hood was comprised in the brief time
necessary to perform the marriage cere-
mony, succeeded to her late husbands
property This is one of the romances
of real life which is indeed stranger than
fiction.
Another strange story from the chick
of life is that of an early marriage in
Trinity Chapel, New York, witnessed
only by the family Of the officiating
clergyman, when the groom took the
name OF prominent officer of the navy,
who was afterward discovered to be at
that time in China The clergyman and
his family were thoroughly deceived, and
only discovered the TACT when too late.
Nothing has ever been heard of the high
contracting parties of the 6 A. NJ. mar
riage.

Mr.. G. Gerard of Philadelphia, for
merly American Consul at Cape Town,
Cape of Good Hope, communicates to
the press the following amusing reminis-
eences of his African consular expert
/ ence:
There is a very singular custom among
/ the farmers-how to get wife If you
desire to get married, you should just
make inquiry whether the lady you love
has a horse. If so, you must ask her
whether she has horse for sale IF she
says ''No," then you had better quit the
house at once; she does not like you.
But if, on the contrary, she says Eyes, !"
it is a good sign; but she will ask you
q very high price. If the amount named
is paid on the spot, the engagement is con-
cluded, as fully as if the marriage was
consummated by the parties.
Ca my arrival at the Cape l did not
know Of this custom. [ wanted to pur-
chase Il horse. and was informed by an
old Dutch resident that widow-had one
to SELL | followed the address given,
and soon arrived at the door of the widow
(who, by the way, was not bad looking).
| asked her whether she had a horse to
sell. She looked at me very sharp then
asked me whether | had some letters Of
Introduction. | said that | was an Amer
lean consul; and would pay cash for her
horse. I'm that case said she, '1etters
are not necessary. l paid down the
sum demanded; then, after taking cup
of coffee, she sent her horse by her groom,
and both accompanied me home. On |
the road the groom asked me a thousand |
questions. Master said he, will my
mistress 60 to live with you in town or will |
you come and live with us? You will |
love my mistress, for she was very kind |
to my old master. (Laughter.) Where
will the wedding be? Cooking at me
and laughing.) Truly, thought. the
poor fellow has drank too much or he is
an imbecile' [ felt sorry for him.
When | arrived home | found many
people at my door congratulating me, not
widow. Truly said one, You have
been very successful She is very rich,
said another. Ireally did not know what
t all meant, and | began to be very UNI
Easy, when to my great surprise, lady
llighted on my steps, and L at once rec
,gnized the widow She very coolly asked
ne when | desired to have the ceremo-
~ of the wedding performed. Then, in
iced, | fully perceived the scrape in which
was, and told her frankly that it was
lorse [ wanted and not a wife. What,
aid she, do you mean to act thus to
ady like me? If 50, [ shall send back
or my horse, and will repay you the
money. In a few hours her groom was

Come Back.

Nine years ago the wife of Daniel
Pratt, of Vassalboro, Me-, influenced by
her religious convictions, took informal
leave of the Society of Friends, of which
she and her husband were members, and
bidding adieu to her partner, went to
New Gloucester and took up her abode
among the Shakers. The separation sur
prised many, as the couple were in the
decline of life. Mr.. Pratt, however, did
not see fit to leave home, much more give
up the faith of George Fox. So he pa
tiently remained, taking care of his farm
and stock and living the life of single
blessedness. occasionally visited by his
children, who comforted him in his lonely
home. Last week, to his joy, his wife
returned after her years of absence, and
announced her intention of spending the
remainder of her days at home. The re-
union occasioned warm welcome and
serenade by the neighbors of the aged
couple.

And here, while the dusky hand Of our
ever-attentive amendment" prepared our
couch, or night watches, let me say one
word about sleeping cars. | know they
are elegant in every detail-that every
thing is done TO insure the comfort Of
travellers, so that they may sleep as COM
fortably and rest as securely Us e'er they
might in "hOme, sweet homer" but how
about the dressing conveniences. A wo-
mans toilet, to be satisfactorily performed
demands some other position than prone
upon the face. Likewise, it is somewhat
more agreeable to perform portions of the
toilet unobserved by the multitude. Men
either are not burdened with modesty, or
they have minds that soar far above the
feminine that give no thoughts to the en-
barrassment attendant upon the method
and manner Of dispOsing ones self in those
close quarters. A woman carefully extin-
guishes herself behind the curtains, slyly
uDIoosens a lace, envelopes herself decor
ously in a large waterproof not daring to
lay aside her chignon for fear or surprise,
and to stow herself away intentionally
depressed. The stranger in the bunk
above leisurely divests himself of his outer
garments, pulls off his boots, loosens his
suspenders and bounds into bed with
graceful ease, rather enjoying the situation.
| think if there could be ladies car for
sleeping and toilet, exclusive of gentlemen
it would be a great advancement in way
faring civilization. l thought so this NOR
ming, especially when | awoke from I'M
easy slumber to find the foot-bOard fallen
and groop of serene-browed men gazing
smilingly upon my sleeping beauty. Let
us have separate cars, good people, and we
can ask nothing more in the way of luxury
and restful ease.
