AT the first call be faltered. He said he
called-well-becau he knew he was
in the eity. Then Adonis slept over; or
ra ther he laid awake over it. He could
not give her up. He was not helped to
escape by the father, who said: "There
am no better, nor no sweeter-tempered
gal IN CaIVadOs county, no nor on the

less or more than human if the style of

affection, and the same may be said if he
had not been the least bit glad that In
the case he could not cure his heart of
its longing after Kitty, there was no un-

Adonis could not help himself so he in

again in the morning... He told his love.
He showed his credentials. He said
that Kitty loved him. He also explained
that he could support her plainly an5

sensation by his unframed manners AMI

the conventional Adonis IS as proud of
him as if he were a lUsus nature of the
most fascinating sort. Cert .inly Kitty

point where it ought to be. We have
the most extrava CANT and expensive
GJVernment on earth, in proportion to
what there Is to govern, and pav the
bills, and this very extravaganza fani

things that bears so heavily upon trade,

pension list, which are legitimate results
OF the war, and in no sense extravaCaut
aside from these, | say, compare the
expenses of the Government in 1860
with the expenses in 1875 Taxation has
increased two hundred per cent, popu-
lation forty per cent, and wealth not at
all. L don't believe the country, taken
as whole, North, South, East, and West
Is worth much more than in 1860 the
census returns of 1870 to the contrary
notwithstanding The returns of 1895
will tell different story. We will be
well on the road to hard pan By that
time, and the aggregate OF wealth return
ed will be less than that of 1870. Ii
will take much more than the labor and
production of the intervening ten years
to make up the losses and reckless ex-
trayagancies of the war and paper-money
period.
The Government has some time to be
brought back to the economy of former
years, stand the burden of Federal tax

ONLY Il W0MAN.

Only woman, shriveled and old,
The prey of the winds, and the prey of
the cold!
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips that were never o'erboId;
Only a woman. fOrsaken and poor,
Asking an aims at the bronze church
door.
Hark to the organ roll upon roll
The waves of its music go over the soul !
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases to toll.
Fain would she enter, but not for the
poor
Swingeth wide open the bronze church
door.
Only wOman-waiting alone,
1cily cold on an ice-cOld throne,
What do they care for her
Mumbhng prayer for her,
Giving not bread but a stone,
Under gold laees ther naughty hearts
beat.
Mocking the woes Of.their kindred in the
street.
Only a woman In the older days
Hope careled to her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles OF life,
Strong for her sake who was mother or
wife.
Somebody lies with tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death
shadows are;
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates tor her,
Giving delight for despair,
Only WON man-nevermore poor
Dead in the snow at the bronze church
door.

Break Not Her Heart.

Pooh who cares for mother?' said a
lad one day to his sister, who had told
him that their mother wished them to
quit their sports IN the sand and 90 home
at a Itain hour.
"My boy, said an old gentleman, who
overheard the sneering remarks as he
sat on rock near by. don't speak thus
OF your mother. l despised my mother
when was young, and ran into all man
ner of evil until l was almost undone;
but after her death | thought of her
cOunseIs, went to Christ, and was saved
U, hO1C much l Og0e TO ny mother and
her PTayersl On the other hand, L have
heard many bad men confess that their
ruin began precisely when and where
they began to despise their mothers"
The boys eyes kindled with emotion,
and his voice trembled as he said, 81
will never speak lightly of my mother
again; and then gathering up his play
things, he called his sister, and went
home wiser and better poy.
This may meet the eye of young man
who Is taking his first lessons IN daring
sins He is doing deeds which
would break his mothers heart if she
saw him commit them. His life is so
opposed to her wishes and counsels, that
he would no more dare to send her it's
record than he would dare to strike her
a blow were she present. Indeed, he
knows that 1t would be less cruel in him
to fell her to the ground with his arm
than to send her the record of his last
months life

mainstays that constituted pillars of
strength in the development aud matu-

THOSE ENCHANTING GRACEs
the offspring Of tender, home love, that
were won't to adorn the personal worth

rudely shaken by whitening immoral in
fueuces. 1t seems that mother-loye,
that source OF the sweetest earthly joys,
is not SO warmly valued and tenderly
cherished now as it was before war in
troduced elements of sore trouble IN
society. Domesticity in American life
is not so pure and potent for the plaut>
ing and fruition of noble character as
of yore. This temple is in ruins. Pa
rental control has lost much of its charm
and power. Relaxation in the restraint
and management of child rem has spread
untold evils about in our midst.
All this is evident, corspicuously so,
in that young men in starting out in life
are led to measure success by the accu-
mutation of bonds and stocks, and the
ownership of broad acres.
They seek to be educated, not for the
purpose of developing the higher and
better nature, but that they may have on
