of civiIization-the loyal AZtecs. Cortez
came, the Montezuma called, there religion
and their government were in peril, ana
leaving home and comfort and country,
these true lieges of sovereign whose
throne rested on the centuries, went down
to the City of Mexico to fight for ther ira

and died. Certain it is, that little south
of this immediate spot in Pueblo county,
there are traces Of civilization and OF sub
stantial opulence, of which the very ira
dition has passed away here, and which Is
neither Spanish nor Indian. Certain IL Is,
that while the Indian, awed by the visible
manifestations of the hand of God, came
here to worship on stated occasions, they
did not use it as one of their permanent
hunting-grounds or winter abOdes. For
centuries it seems hardly to have known
the face of man as a dweller, and now, at a
flash, it is open to all the world, and the
silence of ages is broken by all the confused
orchestra of modern life, the scream OF the
locomotive. the busy hum ofindustries, the
whrl of machinery, the sounds of the gong
and revelry, the crack of the rifle, the voice
of prayer and praise, the music OF chill
dren's voices, and the quiet rhythm OF
haDDy homes.

The Footprints of Time.

Wrinkles are the first tell.tales of lost
youth. and the wrinkles make their way
in very stealthy manner. At first there
comes the faint marking of one little line
about the corner of the eye, and one at
each side of the mouth. Assuredly it Is
the sign of approaching age. we say COM
placently, looking at ourselves in the
glass, conscious of our attractions in the
perfection of their maturity. That little
line, indicative of the furrOwed future, Is
no more age than the one scarlet leaf OF
maple in the midst of the green wood is
autumn. 1t is the shadow of the herald If
YOU will a.; but it is not the real thing.
And so on with all the rest. But it is not
so with our friends. The gap made be-
tween the past and present by years of alb
sence is abrupt, unexpected. You left a
blooming. sleek-hared, slim-waisted girl {;
YOU find a faded, hOllow-eyed, gray head
ed woman, the mother of children, atfilct-
ed with bad health and tired of her life.
Or YOU encounter a stout and f1Orid mat
ron whose bulk is burden 10 herself and
matter not for admiration to her friends ;
whose early shyness has worn off and CIV
en- place to free-and-easy good nature
that may be genial but is vulgar; whose
girlish sentimentality has gone with her
bushes, and who now openly proclaims
her devotion to champagne and lobster
salad as among the few things in life
worth taking trouble for, and talks OF the
pleasures of the palate as superior TO ev-
cry other enjoyment. To be sure, pairing
away in your minds eye those superilu-
Gus layers of flesh, you can make out the
nose of the past, and the lips have the
same curve as hers had in the days when
you would have given months salary
for kiss; the eyes are the same color, but
what has become of their sparkle? Where
is that roguish twinkle that made your
heart leap when it flashed upon you, Civ
ing point to a girlish sauciness that was Sc
! innocent and she thought was so naughty
Where is that dewy downcast look that
was so conscious where there was nothing
TO blush for? Is it that ugly leer which
tells of less tenderness of sentiment than
you would like TO see even in man
You must accept this as the survival :
it is all you will have of the sweetness, the
! bashfulneSs that once seemed to you the
most exquisite grace on earth.

from Paris or London, for, when was
there, bright-red hair was in vogue with
both sexes. They plaster their heads over
with lime for few days, which destroys
the original color of the hair, and produces
loud saffron tinge. When a man be-
comes engaged, the fair fiancee often clips
her flowing locks. and brings them to her
AdOnis, who plaits them in deliberately
with his own, producing most elaborate
head-dress. The disgusting way in which
they prepare kava, an intoxicating drink,
by chewing, has often been described, and

Weddings.

As the semi-annual bridal season is at
hand, it is the time TO plead for a reform
in weddings. Every year this sacredest OF
all occasions is turned more and more into
an opportunity for display, and for reply
inc to some fancied social obligation. In
stead of the time when few OF the closest
friends gather TO witness the solemneSt
compact human beings can frame, IL Is
chosen as the moment for bringing To-
gether the larger part of a famlly'S social
circle. to show the bride in her bridal gar
ments: to prove how many flowers and
refreshments the family can afford and
With shame be it said, TO exhibit to crltl-
cism and light comment the precious tok-
ems that should have come with tender re-
gard to the maid on the eve of her new
life.
A wedding must not be uncheerful; but
it must certainly be solemn to all who re-
aliZe what it is. On the one side 1t Is re-
nouncing old ties, promising to begin
with faith, and hope, and love new ana
wholly untried existence. On the 0ther,
it is the acceptance of sacred trust, the
convenant to order life anew in such ways
as shall make the happiness OF two instead
OF one. Can such an occasion be hitting
tor revelry? Is it not wiser, more deli
cate, to bid only the nearest friends to
marriage ceremony, and leave the feastlnS
and frolic fora subsequent time? We are
sure there are few girls who, if they re,
fleet on the seriousness of the step they are
about to take, will not choose to make
their vow merely within the loving limits
of their home circle. All our best i'll

Chinese Ideas of Death.

A wealthy man condemned to death will
arrange with his jailer to buy him sub
ssitute for certain sum of money, TO be
spent on the poor wretch's interment and
preservation of his body. Should he have
parents, so much is usually paid to them
in compensation for their sons life. China
men invariably help to support their par
entS; tilial respect and devotion Is the
great Chinese virtue and religious erecept,
in which they rarely fail. Regarding
death as inevitable, he makes the best OF
bad bargain, and cunningly and comically
gets paid for dying. The wholesale de-
s,ruction of life in this country is greatly
the result of indifference. Hence the mas
Sacre of Europeans, so terrible TO Us, seems
