THERE Is NO DEATH.-If it be true
that Nature abhors a vacuum, it is
equally true the Great Creator abhors
death and glories in life. There is really
no such thing as death-the term is a
misnomer, used to designate the changes
which occur in life. Life, eternal life,
is created by the laws Of Almighty will
power, which are as immutable in their
application as is the existence of the
Creator himself. When God made life,
he made every thing necessary to sustain
it, but left it for mans progressive in
tclligence to discover, convert and utilize.

Illegal FlIrtatIOns.

No woman can carry on Irritation with
a married man that is not criminal. No
woman can firt innocently even with
young man. 1t is the first step toward
unbalancing his character. Through her
he sees other women, and forms an esti-
mate. The young girl who enters a
family and wins the affections of the hus-
band and father knowingly-and she can
not do it otherwise-has entered on the
road to perdition. There Is a punish
ment for the housebreaker, but none for
the home-breaker, who steals and mars
life's best treasures. Every woman has
the first best right to her own husband.
He is hers, in sickness and in health, to
love and to cherish, as exclusively as she
should be his. He is to provide for her,
honor her, and love her. He is her pro-
tector against all the adverse circum-
stances Of life. No other woman has any
right to. the same attentions and endear-
ments, and wife has a perfect right to
resent such intrusion. A man who saw
another mans arm around his wife's
waist would consider it case for court,
ran exercise for pistol-shooting. Women
with keener sensibilities and finer ma
lures, feel it deeper. 1t touches the heart.
A certain sensible friend of mine says
there are two things she will never allow
anybody to meddle with-her husband
and her sewing machine. Such firta-
tions are unworthy of true manhood or
womanhood. They blight the lives that
were created in the original of God, and
make the innocent suffer for the guilty.
All mothers would do well to see that
their daughters are not mentally grown
on the morbid books in which somebody
is always represented as falling in love
with somebody else's husband or wife,
and soul-union" pictured, which is
only intended to vail the incarnation of
lust. There are enough men and women
to fall by the force of circumstances, or
the depravity of original sin, without
educating any to it. 1t is well enough
to pull our OK or ass out Of the pit, but
We do not want to dig pits for them to
fall into.
Many q soul has gone blood-stained,
into the presence OF its Maker, sent
thither by climax of dark circum-
stances brought about a woman's fiirta-
ton. Don't firt! 1t is unwOmanly; it
is untrue to your sex; it is wrong
against that mother whose memery you
revere. The man you are tempting will
not respect you, and worse, you will not
respect yourself!

A Critical Moment.

Opposite our camp the wall was high
and vertical. The river running to the
south for a mile and half, turns back
upon itself, and the two stretches of river,
the first south, the second north, are
separated by wall in many places but
ten to twenty feet wide and eight hundred
feet high, and, on the east, everywhere,
vertical or overhanging. wished to
climb this wall for the purpose of meas
uring its altitude, so one day Bradley
and took the little boat and pulled up
stream as far as possible, in order to
reach a place where the wall was so
broken that it seemed practicable to
climb it. We landed on little talus of
rocks at the foot of the wall, but found
that we must 60 still farther up the river;
80 we scrambled on until we reached a
place where the river sweeps against the
wall. Here we found a shelf along which
we could pass, and then were ready for
the climb. We started up gulch, then
passed to the left, on bench along the
wall; then up again over broken rocks;
then we reached more benches, along
which we worked until we found more
broken rocks and crevices, by which we
climbed still up, until we had ascended
six or eight hundred feet. Here we were
met by sheer precipice.

Eucalyptus Trees as a Business Spec.
ulutiOn.

The Los Angeles Herald records the
fact that a company has been formed in
that city for the purpose of raising euca-
lyptus trees for fuel and manufacturing
purposes. Two hundred acres of land
have been secured within a mile, on
which eucalyptus trees only four and a
half years old from seed are now grow
ing, which measure sixteen inches in
diameter, and are forty feet high. 1t is
estimated that each one of these trees is
worth one dollar for fuel, and more for
manufacturing purposes. FOresters cal~
culate that 600 of these trees can be
grown to the acre, and it requires no
great calculation to show how profitable
such business can be made. The COM
pany organized in Los Angeles propose
purchasing land at $50 per acre, and the
cost of seed, planting, ETC., will probably
average twenty-five cents per tree. The
total for the 600 trees and the acre of
land will thus reach about $3.50, or say
5000. At the end of four years, suppos-
ing the trees to succeed as the average
do, the timber will be worth 5000. And
as these trees stump and sprout rapidly,
another yield of timber may be expected
in four years more.

A Runaway Train.

A dispatch to the Boston Globe, dated
Baltimore, says: Passengers who ar
rived here tonight report that stock
train ran into passenger train on the
Washington, Virginia, and Midland
Railroad, at 4:2O this morning, at Orange
Court House, twenty-nine miles from
Alexandria. The engine of the passen-
ger train had become disabled, and the
following train was tagged, but not in
time to prevent the collision. The EN-.

truck, and the cow-catcher EMBEDDED it

tion between it and the ladies' car in

ger train, seeing the condition of affairs,
turned steam on his engine just before
the collision, and, with the fireman,
jumped to the ground. The consequence
was that the engine, with the dragging
smoking-car and ladies' car, shot ahead
and was going down a grade at the rate
of forty-fve miles an hour, without an
engineer, fireman, or conductor to man.

force of the collision, and the ladies' car
and smoking-car were forced together.
Two railroad men, passengers on the
train, noticed the fearful speed at which
they were running, and suspecting that
something was wrong, managed to crawl
through hole left in the door between
the baggage-car and smoking-car, and
climbing over the mass of baggage into
the darkness, the lights all being put out
by the jar, succeeded in reaching and
stopping the engine, after the train had
run about six miles. 1t was a wonder
that the train did not jump the track.
About forty of the passengers were badly
cut and wounded. Their wounds were
dressed by physician who went to the
scene of the disaster from Rapidan. The
cattle train had three cars smashed, and
three of the cattle killed. A large num-

PhilidOr the Chess Player.

AS a young man, Philidor exercised
his remarkable talent as a means of
making money. In Germany, England,
and Holland he beat all the best players,
although he gave them advantages.
More than once he was known to direct
the game of person played out of his
sight, while he himself was playing
another game; but efforts of that kind
fatigued his head 50 much that he dis
continued them. The Count dArtois,
however, having heard of the fact,
greatly desired to witness it, and sent
word to Philidor that he would play
him in that manner for hundred louis
d'ors. Philidor, after duly warning the
prince that he was sure to beat him, at
last yielded to his wish and accepted the
bet. When the Count d'ArtOis had
selected the two players who were to con-
duct the game, and as he was quite de-
cided to pay the hundred louis d'ors
however the thing turned out, he secret
ly prevailed upon Philidor's second
falsely to execute one of the orders
given to him. This understanding eff
fected, the game began, and proceeded
but very short while, when Philidor

the player moved a bishop, and twelve
moves afterward informed him that his
adversary checked his king with his
queen.
"That is impossible" cried Philidor !;
"our knight would take her."
"But the knight is not there" re-
piled the princes accomplice; "i It's the
bishop"
Resting his head upon his hands Phili-
dor sat buried in reflection, until he re-
called to his memory the whole progress
of the game.
"At the fifth move," he at last said,
"when told you to advance knight,
you made mistake and advanced
bishop" -.r-..
At these words the Count d'Artois,
seized with wonder and admiration, rose
from his seat, confessed the trick, and
asked Philidor's pardon. Next morning
he sent him his hundred louis d'ors in

A SINGULAR case of deception recent
ly occurred at Freeport, Illinois, which
looks very much like libel on the adj
mittedly keen institutions of woman
hood. A rascally imposter presented
himself at the residence Of widow Gay
lerd, as her long lost husband, and actu-
ally succeeded in convincing her and the
children that he was the identical hus-
band and father who had been so long
mourncd as dead. But there was one
skeptical individual connected with the
family, who brought the matter before
the grand jury, and after severe exami-
nation, the man was found to be an inn
poster, and sent to prison for three years.
One can hardly understand how the
children might give credence TO this
mans story, and even think they recog-
nizcd their parent; but how shall we ac-
count for the widows delusion--unless
-indeed--a--what was IL Barkis said?
Oh, yes, "Barkis is willin,'" said he.
