TAKING OUT THE ROMANCE.-

TAKING OUT THE ROMANCE
There is a family at Sandy Hook,
N. Y, which has very practica!
way of viewing events in life and
dealing with sudden emergencies.
The fourteen years old daughter Of
this family, who has been addicted
to dime novels and other sentimen.
tai gusl, eloped with a schoolboy,
was married to him, and then re-
turned with him to be forgiven at
ter the manner Of the lovers in dime
novels. The parents, however, were
not like the parents in the dime
novels, for the mother soundly
spanked the girl, and the boy on
his way home was kicked Is times
by the father. AS neither of them
had ever read anything of the sort
in the novels, the announcement was
genuine surprise to them. The
welcome of the fond parents, how
ever, is said to have. worked like a
charm, and both lovers are cured of
their folly. Love may laugh at
locksmlth, but when it comes to
spankings and No. - boots, love
can raise at best only a very sickly
SMILE Herald.

OUR Centennial exhibition must
seem small thing as regards time
to the Japanese, who are going to
have what may be called a millen.
NAL exhibition. 1t is to be held in
the town of Nara, which was the
residence of the Mikados more than
a thousand years ago. A building
exists there, today, which was cree.
ted before the court left the town.
A. d. 794, and, what is more re,
markable. il is made of wood. Ac.
cor'ling to the Japan Mail, this
structure is still IN complete integ.
rity. 1t is said to have been ex.
amined every sixty.first year since
its erection and repaired when
necessary. There may still be seen
the treasures placed there, mere
than a thousand years ago, by the
Mlkados which have escaped the
danger of fire, robbery and revolu.
ton during that period. In add.
ton to these antiquities with their
inventory, made in the eighth cen.
fury, are some fresh objects which
have in the course of centuries been
added, so the whole exhibition ia
curious record of a thousand wears
OF national existence.

PAYING

The RELIGION OF PAYING
DEBTs.-One of our religious ex-
changes has the following strong
remarks on the subject. They drive
the nail into the head, and clinch
it:-"Men may sophisticate as they
please; they can never make it
right, for them not to pay their
debts. There is a sin in this neglect
as clear and as deserving church
discipline, as in stealing or false
swearing. He who violates his
promise to pay, or withholds the
payment of debt when it is in his
power to meet his engagement,
ought to be made to feel that iu
the sight of all honest men he is a
swindler. Religion may be very
comfortable cloak under which to
hide; but if religion does not make
a man deal justly, it is not worth
having"

The College races and the re.
markable shooting at Wimbledon
have given the past week rather an
athletic than an intellectual charac-
ter. 1t must be said, however, that
a great part of the exultatiOn over
both events is due to moral causes.
When we go back to the time OF
the contest between Hcenan and
Sayers, and think of the disgrace
full scenes to which it led, and then
consider the bad blood caused by
the Oxford and Harvard race, the
e-shOoting becomes remarkable
not merely as proof of great skill,
but as proof of increased ability
on the part Of all branches of the
Angl0-Saxon race to conduct sports
fairly and decently. We may say
the same of the Saratoga race, where
for three days there were sports of
all kinds between a great number of
colleges, conducted, some of them,
in new and complicated way, yet
conducted, as we have always boast.
ed we conduct our sports, with the
honest determination that the best
man shall win. 1t has been for some
years now, in this country at least,
an open question whether athletic
sports would be carried on and i'm.
proved and perfected, or whether
they would fall a prey to the gener.
al love of money and be captured"
by the horde of swin,llers and "prO-
tessiOnals" who live on them. 1t
seems pretty clear that some of the
best of them will be saved from
this fate.

JESSE POMERoY is creating con-
siderable disturbance, just at present
in Boston. He is condemned as a
murderer, and is to be hung unless
the governor shall see fit to COM
mute his sentence. In the mean
time, the anti-capital punishment
element is petitioning and remOn'
strating that he may not be hung,
and a larger number are asking to
have the fiend hung. Jesse is busy !;
he has written long letter, stating
that he is not guilty, and that he
was not legally tried, and now it is
discovered that he has been at work
for a long time digging out the brick
in his cell, and was about ready to
escape from prison when the discov-
cry was made. His attempt to
break out of prison shows q saga
city and wisdom equal to that Of
the most expert prisOnDreaker. In
the possession of the culprit were
found several letters written to his
friends, that gave the details of his
attempt to escape, and showing
that he intended "tO knock over the
guards" and resort to murder, if it
were necessary, in order to effect
his release. If the gallows would
be graced by any victim, this boy
fiend would furnish a good subject.
