Rejected SuitOrS.

A writer in the Home Journal says ::
A woman never quite forgets the man
who has once loved her. She may not
have loved him she may, indeed, have
given him the No instead of Yes he
hoped for but the remembrance that
he desired Yes always softens her
thoughts of him, and would make him,
were he reminded of it, friend forever
There may be girls who make jest of
discarded suitors but they are generally
very young, and the wooing has been
something chat did not betoken much
depth of tenderness. There are mer-
cenary offers, too, that only awaken scorn
and hate in the woman wooed for money
and not for herself but really to have
touched mans heart is something not
to be forgotten while she lives. Always
she remembers how his eyes looked into
hers; how, perhaps, he touched her
hand with his, and how her heart ached
when he turned away without that which
she could not give him. She loves some
one else. Some other man has all the
truth of her soul-but she cannot forget
the one who turned from her and went
his way and came no more. She is glad
when she hears of his success, grieved
when she knows that he has suffered
and when some day she hears that he is
married-she who has herself been mar
ried long years, perhaps she who, at all
events, would never have married him
is she glad then? I do not know. A
woman's heart is a very strange thing. [
do not believe she knows herself. Glad?
Oh, yes; and is his wife pretty and nice?
And then she says to herself that 'he has
quite forgotten, and that, of course, is
best, and cries little

The Italian Woman.

A correspondent of the Newark Id
vertiser writes 81 think an orang-ou-
tang would have as much taste in the way
of dress as the average italian woman.
She gets herself up in some most strik-
ing combination of colors, with an inter
minable length of skirt and proportion
ate outgrowth of shoulders parts her
hair on one side and combs it down to
the bridge of her nose, builds up a tower
of puffs and braids and twists and bows
and flowers on the top of the head, paints
her eyes, and feels herself triumphantly
complete. If the intended effect of her
head arrangements is to make her look as
much like consummate idiot as posi-
BILE, and the display of shoulders be
kindly offered as study in anatomy,
she is happy success. .

The Secret of Long Life.

A writer in the Press and st. James
Chronicle prints letter received from
Lord st. Leonards in 1871, in which he
says:
: / am the Oldest peer in the House of
Lords, and therefore [ am called the
father of the House. [ am the oldest
member of the bar, and therefore [ am
called the father of the bar. After SO
long period, never withdrawing from
the duties attached to the position
which | have occupied, I have ultimately
retired from public life, but still find
myself called upon to exercise the facul-
ties of which kind Providence has left
me in position. I lead life which seems
likely to extend itself. / enter into no
speculation, and have nothing to agitate
me. I avoid all luxurious living. I go
early to bed, and my moderation is re-
warded by good nights sleep. I get
up early and am always down ito 9
o'clock breakfast. [ pass much of my
time in reading. Tive happy life, for
which [ thank God, and submit myself
to his guidance and mercy. This, then,
is all the secret which [ possess of long
life. Yours faithfully,
ST.. IIEONARDS.

Happy Every Day.

Sidney Smith cut the following from a
newspaper and preserved it for himself;
" when you rise in the morning, form
the resolution to make the day happy
one to a fellow creature. It is easily
done left off garment to the man who
needs it; a kind word to the sorrowful
an encouraging expression to the striv-
ing-trifes in themselves light as air
will do at least for the twenty-four hours.
And if you are young, depend on it, it
will tell when you are old and if you
are old, rest assured it will send you
gently and happily down the stream of
time to eternity. By the most simple
arithmetical sum, look at the result. IF
you send one person away happily
through the day, that is three hundred
and sixty-ive in the course of a year.
And suppose you live forty years only
after you commence that course of medi-
cine, you have made 1900 persons hap
py-at all events for time"

Sunshine and SleeD.

No sirup of peoples, no tinctllre of
opium, no powders of morphine, can
compare in sleep-inducing power with
sunshine. Let sleepless people court the
sun. The very worst soporifc is lauda-
mum, and the very best is sunshine
Therefore, it is very plain that poor
sleepers should pass as many hours of
the day in sunshine, and as few as posi-
BILE in the shade. Many women are mar
tyrs, and do not know it. They shut the
sunshine out of their houses and hearts,
they wear wells, they carry parasols, they
do all that is possible to keep off the
subtlest and yet most potent influence
which is intended to give them strength,
and beauty, and cheerfulness. Is it not
time to change all this, and so get roses
and color ID your pale cheeks, strength
In your backs, and courage in your timid
souls? The women of America are pale
and delicate; they may be blooming and
strong, and the sunlight will be potent
influence in this transformation DR..

A Domestic +" SDell.,,

Smith says this spelling-school fever
is getting to be an intolerable bore. On
going home to supper in hurry, one
evening lately, he found his wife sitting
in front of the parlor fire with spelling
book in her hand, and heard an indistinct
mumbling in which he could occasional
ly distinguish: Accomplishment, s.
a-t-i-s-f-i-e-d, happy, ETC.. els sup
per ready, my dear :" asked he. "S-u-
p-p-e-r," was all the answer he could
hear. "Come, come, I must go up town
shortly" he said. "S-h-o-r-t-l-y," ech-
oed the lady, moving toward the kitch-
en- door, pausing in the door to take one
last look at McGuffey. "Mrs. Smith, [
must be back up street in few minutes,
and must have my supper Immediately :"
yelled the now irate husband. hmm

here the coal-scuttle crashed against the
kitchen-door just as the unfortunate lex
icographer lodged behind and closed it,
while Smith AYERS that he heard some
thing as she whirled through the door
that sounded like "c-o-a-l coal, Scout
-" and here the sound was lost amid
the clatter of tin pans, skillets, etc. He

Bitten BY a Decapitated Rattlesnake.

It happened to Mr.. Charles Drury, and
how it happened he himself thus relates
in the columns of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciGl..
'Mr. Clay Culbertson and were out
deer-hunting, five miles back of Port Or
ange, Florida. While the men whom he
had employed with hounds to hunt the
thicket for deer were thus engaged I
came across an enormous rattlesnake.
of the species of Crotalls Horridats. IT
was in the blind, just previous to the
moult, consequently more vicious and
venomous than otherwise. Tt was about
six feet in length and fifteen inches in
circumference-the largest one of it's
species that I had ever seen. The snake,
on perceiving me, started to crawl into a
gopher-hole. / then shot at and blew
it out of the hole, cutting it almost in
two two more shots were almost i'm
mediately fired into it, one of which cut
off the head, leaving stump of neck at

Desiring to secure the head for amedical
friend in Cincinnati, who wished it for
dissection, / cut off this stump of neck,
and fearing to put the head in my peck

l might be punctured with the fangs pro-
truding through my clothes, I took from
my pocket wad Of cotton to cover them.
In forcing down the lower jaw with
stick six or eight inches long, I was
astonished when the head made a spas
modic jump or spring, striking the thumb
of my dexter hand with one of the fangs,
making slight and seemingly insignif-
can't little wound like pin scratch. T
applied Immediately tourniquet to the
thumb, and caused deep incision to be
made at the wounded spot, and then
thoroughly sucked the wound,
starting at the same time for the nearest
whisky, which was two and half miles
away, on reaching which I partook there
OF copiously, and relaxed the tension
around the thumb. Up to this time no
swelling, no pain or unfavorable symp-
toms were apparent, but on releasing the
hgature the swelling commenced. We
then proceeded to Port Orange, two and
half miles further on, taking an occa-
sional pull at the whisky on the way,
the whisky being the vilest of the vile,
and which was difficult for me to worry
down, never having before in my life
tasted that article.
con the following morning my arm
and back were enormously swollen and
presented black and congested appear

The Essence of the Latest Fashions.

The mems trousers are swelling and
the women's skirts are shrinking. It's
just like having both legs in one panta-
loon to wear the present fashions for la
dies. IF this thing continues the women
will be wearing the breeches in good
earnest, and the despised petticoat will
adorn the neither limbs of recreant, hith-
erto arrogant man. In the year 1886,
and lowered white silk hat, my mother
was married, and with the discretion be-
longing to those days she ripped up that
hat and laid it away for future reference.
Nearly forty years have flown, but that
brocaded silk is the rage to-day, and
some huge bows that adorned that won
drous hat are of the damask ribbon for
which New York is going wild just now.
The wedding dress that accompanied this
bonnet had more silk in the sleeves than
the skirt, was quite short, and sported a
small knob on the breast like a dwarf
pincushion, stuffed with COB of cotton,
with folds of silk radiating from it, like
the rising sun sort of business you see
on hand organs and old-fashioned cot
tage pianos. This was the then popu-
lar butterfly waist" We haven't got
to that yet, but darnask ribbon and
lowered silk and skinny skirts and
strange and uncouth shapes in bonnets
are here on the spot. AS far as [ can see
we are reviving the days of 1886, and go
ing back to first principles. -NesO York

manner, the centennial Of the event
which made them historic. The two
quiet old New England towns never in
all their history, not even on the day
whose Tooth anniversary they celebrated,

element, such great crowds of people
and 80 many demonstrations of joy.
George William Curtis at Concord and
Richard III. Dana at Lexington rehearsed
in glowing terms the memories of the
past, and impressed upon their hearers
the lessons they conveyed. In these and
in all the speeches upon the occasion
there breathed spirit OF love for the
old Union, reverence for the heroes in
whose blood it was cemented, and pa
triotic devotion to the cause of liberty
and human rights. The century of
formation and organization began with
Lexington and Concord. AS we pass
over now into a round of centennial
concentrations, may it prove that the
secord century of peace and good will
and fraternal accord has begun where
the first shot was fired in the struggle
for independence.
A NEW Juggernaut, it is said, h as been
set moving in society, and thousands an
nually fall beneath its wheels. Tt is a
new stimulant known as hydrate of chic
ral-a salt of burning, pungent taste,
having as it's basis chloroform, into which
it is supposed to be changed in the blood.
In small doses it is stimulant and anti
spasmodic; in larger, narcotic; and in
excess it produces death as instantane-
ously as flash of lightning. Physicians
have been variously divided in the opin-
ion of it's ultimate results, some recog-
nizing the fearful consequences of it's
use, others enthusiastically recommend
ing it for ocean travellers as an antidote
for sea-sickness. In England it has
taken the place of opium, and choral
eating is now as decided vice as opium
eating, misunderstanding and absinthe-
drinking. The difference between opium
and choral is that, under the same cir
cumstances, opium is more imaginative,
and paints things as they do not really
exist; chloral merely increases the power
of enjoying the real. A strange, dreamy
sense of perfect ease, comfort and hap
piness takes the place of sorrows and
cares; all affection and love are likewise
banished, and the eater becomes practi-
cally a living, breathing vegetable. An
opium eater has been known to live to
goodly old age. No chloralist can sur
vive three years. The stimulant is i'm
ported mostly from Germany, and a
high authority asserts in the London
Lancet that there is positively no anti
dote for the poison.

less diameter, and about four or five
inches apart, extend at right angles to
the back of the fireplace, where they
may be fastened in the wall, or to q
