DON'T CHARLEY. .


"Don't, Charley" came TO my
| was seated in a railway car, last
summer. L should not have heard
the soft, touching voice, had it not
been very near me. l looked to see
who il was that had spoken, and
saw sweet, beautiful woman up
on the seat in front of me. A half
sad look rested upon the young
face that was all aglow with love
Snd tenderness. A young man was
seated by her side whose face wore
q restless, dissipated look. and in q
moment comprehended it all.
His face was flashed slightly, and
[ knew why it was thus. He was
talking very fast to some one in adj
vance of him, and once | heard q
low oath. "Don't, Charley she said
again, in the same sweet voice.
But Charley did not seem to heed
her words, but went on in half
wild way to the man. Several
more oaths came from his lips; but
the woman remained silent, yet
looking so rleadingly at the erring
one that thought, if he had been
the mild, loving reproof that was
50 visible in her tear-dimmed eyes.
A friend by my side whispered
in my car, "They have been mar
ried just one year."
"He is BRUTE" only sail in re-
ply.
At that moment l saw the young
husband wink slyly at the young
man, and then they both arose and
went into the baggage car. I I'M
derstood the movement when l saw
bottle protrudirg from the hBs-
bands coat pocket.
Don't Charley; don't CO." the
young wife had pleaded before he
got beyond her reach; but he tore
himself from her light grasp, and
rushed along. Her eyes filled with
tears, and low moan came from
her pale lips, and then she bowed
her head and wept silently.
lie came back in a few moments,
his face flushed still more, and his
voice key or two louder than be-
fore. lie brushed rudeiy past the
wife, evidently to get near the car
window.
Let INC alone, Mag, nc salQ as
she lai3 her white hand upon his
arm. Women are always in the
way" he said, again turning to the
man in front of him.
The " ife turned away, and 1 did
not hear her sweet, reproving voice
again.
How pitied that young, loving
wife, and how often / wonder if
her sensitive heart must suffer and
bleed for many long years! l
think not; for her tender, loving
soul. and frail slender body will
not bear such unkindness. Strange
how soon liquor will transform hu-
man beings into unfeeling mon
sters, aud chill the ardent, loving
nature of a tender husband and
trusting wife!-[Am. Temperance

STYLE IN WRTTING.-The best
writer is he who can convey the
clearest Thoughts in the shortest
space. Some writer's so hide
their thoughts in useless words
that it becomes q task after you
have read q column to COM
prehend its meaning. Ornament
in style is good when it beauties
the thoughts advanced; it is mex
cusable when it covers them from
sight. A writer, before he touch
es q pen, should first get clear
idea of the subject he is to handle;
this we'll understood, his next eff
fort should be to say what he has
to say in the lowest words possible.
We would not have a single
thought dwarfed by stingy use OF
language; but even this would be
better than to see it choked out
of existence by superabundance
of words. Write to the point, and
when you have reached it, stop,
It requires severe mental training
to acquire that simplicity of ex.
preston which conveys to US the
grandest thought in the fewesi
words, yet it is within the prov
ince of all to approach if moi
Iequal it. 1t has been said that il
is more difficult to abridge an ar
Iticle than to write one, that it re
Iquires more time to write a shor
article well than to present tn,
same thoughts in double tn,
space. When Queen Anna toli

only one faalt-that of being to,
short-he replied that he shoul'
have made it shorter il he had ha'
more time. Let our writcrs-es
pecially those of the press-boi
down their efforts before the,
present them to the public. L
this fast age the man who can sa
the best things in the shortes
space is not far removed from

wALEs-lrs UNIVERSITY, &c.

For over thousand year:
Wales has had no university
The proseriptive policy of Eng
land towards Wales in the years
long passed, was intended to de
stroy its nationality, kill its Ian,
guage and bury its literature in
oblivion. The unyielding persis
tency with which the Welsh PEG.
pie resisted the encroachments oil
their oppressors maddened the
English monarchs into fury and
blind passion, so that they were
incapable of wise-nay of sensible
legislation. Ireland had her uni.
versities, and so had Scotland, and
they have them still; but the an
cient seats of learning in Wales
must be destroyed forever. And
yet, to the establishment of the
English, the Welsh continued to
be virtually a nation; her Ian
guaee did not die, nor was her lit
erature buried. English histori-
ans have been profoundly ignor-
ant or purposely dishonest in re-
ference to early British history.
Wales had in the fifth or sixth
century two of the most famous
and successful universities Europe
ever had. One of these was in
South Wales and the other in
North Wales. Learning and
Christianity were we'll nigh con-
fined in that age to the Principal
ity of Wales. The SaXons made
a raid into Wales and thoroughly
demolished these celebrated seats
of learning, from a feeling of in
stinctive hatred and jealousy, for
the Saxons at this period were
barbarous and unchristian. Stu
dents from all parts of the CONT
nent of Europe flocked to these
celebrated universities, and Chau-
Ger, the father of English poetry,
testilies that they were the central
points of learning at that time.
Some two or three years ago few
of the leading literary men of the
Principality determined to have q
Welsh university. They were lib
orally supported by the people,
and the first annual report just
published removes all apprehen-
sion of its permanent success.
In character it is unsectarian, al
though there has been considera-
BILE controversy on account of
prayers, supposed to be tinged
with the hues of the established
church, being read. and to which
the students were invited, but not
compelled to attend. The spirit
of resistance to anything APP
preaching Sectarianism has in
creased in Wales within the last
quarter of century prodigiously.
The people have compelled the
Government to appoint no Bishop
to q See in Wales who was ignor-
ant of the language of the coun-
try, and judges will soon be re-
quired to acquire the Welsh Ian
guage before they can act as
Judges in the Welsh circuits. The
result of the late election in Wales
has given large majority of lib
eral menbers-about two to one
and among them some of the best
lawyers in London, natives of
Wales and speaking the language
fluently. Among these are several
Queens councils, some of whom
are leading statesmen. Verify, a
great change since the days of the
heroic Glyndwr.

raise a pound of turkey than a
pound of hen flesh. In the sum-
mer they require to be fed less,
being mastery campaigners on
their own account, while in winter

" as careful housing as the hen,
although it is good policy to make
them roost indoors; but left to
themselves, they prefer to weather

market, their flesh is worth much
more than that of the hen, so that,
other things being equal, it is
economy to keep them instead.
