Read this, Young Ladies.

We heard very pretty incident the
other day. which we cannot help relating.
A young lady from the South, il seems,
was woocd and won by youthful ply
stefan living in California. When the
engagement was made the doctor was
rich. having been very successful at San
Francisco. II had not existed six months,
however, when, by an unfortunate invest
ment, he lost his entire heap" This
event came upon him, II should be added,
Just as he was about to claim his bride.
What does he do? Why, like an honora-
BILE and chivalrous young fellow as he is,
he sits down and writes the lady every
particular Of the unhappy turn which has
taken place in his fortunes, assuring her
that If the fact produced any change in
her feelings toward him, she is released
from every promise she has made him.
And what does the dear. good girls Why,
she takes lump of pure gold, which her
lover has sent her in his prosperity as a
keepsake, and, having IT manufactured
into ring, forwards Il 10 him with the
following Bible inscription engraved in
distinct characters on the outside: En-.
treat me not 10 leave thee, or to return
from following after thee; for whittier
thou goest will l 20. and whittier thou
lodgest will lodge; thy people will be
my people and thy God my God; where
thou dest will die, and there will be
buried; the Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part me and thee"
The lover idolized his sweetheart more
than ever when he received this precious
evidence OF her devotion 10 him both In
storm and sunshine. We may add that
fortune soon again smiled upon the young
physician. and that he subsequently, re-
turned 10 the North TO wed the sweet girl
he loved and who loved him with such
undying affection. Reader, this Is all
true. Yong ladies who read the Bible
as closely as the heroine Of this incident
seems % have done, are pretty sure TO
make good swcethearts and better wives.

Sanitary influence OF the Eucalyptus
Tree.


The culture Of the eucalyptus in Al
gcFa i strongly recommended in re-
port BY British Consul playfair. Ow-
ing q the destruction II forests in that
country the climate i changing in an APP
probable degree every year, and the
question Of restoring the wood that has
been lost i a most important one. Its
hardly more than Is years since the
iirst eucalyptus trees were introduced
into Algeria, yet their growth, as shown
by Consul Playfair, has been extraordi-
narily rapid. and some remarkable ex-
amples are given in the report OF the ac-
lion Of the eucalyptus in improving the
sanitary condition 81 unhealthy districts,
and IN dissipating miasmatic Influences
which created havoc among the colo
nisis IN the first years after the conquest.
for instance, formerly ii was impossi-
ne Tor the workmen at the great iron
mines Of Moka-el-Hadid to remain there
during summer; those who attempted
% do SO died. and the company was
obliged 10 take the laborers 10 the mines
from distance by train every morning
ana carry them back every night. From
iSpS to 1870 the company have planted
more than 100, 900 eucalyptus, and now
the workmen are able to live all the year
through on the scene Of their labor. The
entire works and the railway leading TO
Them are bordered with thick belts Of
These trees, and each Of the miners has
ms cottage and kitchen garden sur
rounded with them.

twill probably DO remembered. says
,ha philadelphia Press, that the detach-
r,.pt al tho First Division, W hich left this
ci,y July n, NJ q 80 p. m, was stopped
n Altoona by the rioters. who soaped
the tracks and uncouplcd the engines.
The men-4UO ia number were thus
detained At that point until July ~,

Gentleman widely aud most fayorably
Known in this city. was detailed to act

troops across the mountains. lie vt

mand. and, marching with them through
A infuriated mob 10 the round-house,
fired up engine "5U5" and ran il out
among 500 rioters, who, being fully
armed. fired volley after yollcy into the
swiftly flying locomotive. The engine
was run. in spite Of all obstacles, by Mr..
Hand and his assistants, TWO miles up
the road. where il was coupled 10 the
train containing Gov. Hartranft and
Adj. Gen. Latta, with about 800
troops. No further danger and no trou-
bic were experienced until on entering
the lOuG tuuhci nnothcf cuSinc
was found standing on the
track and completely blocking their
progress. On examination this
movable barricade was found to contain
over 500 pounds Of gnnpowdcr, some in
the firebox and some in the flues. Had
any one in the darkness incautiously
struck match before making that dis
coyery, or had spark from the Rowing
engine touched the mine, the conse-
cuences must have been terrible. For
tnnately. the fatal explosive was seen in
time. and Mr.. Hand turned on the hose
from the water-tanks and flooded the
powder, after which the engiu. was
easily pushed ahead out VI the tunnel,
and the troops were carried in safety 10
Pittsburgh, thus giving MIR. Hand the
honor Of running the first train Of troops
over the mountain during the riot. Very
appropriately the same daring gentle
man was rendered the honor Of opening
the ihr0ttlc-valvc Of tho first freight
train that left Pittsburgh after tho riot
Gus demonstrations. Only those who
were az Altoona ri the time the troops
we're started out can form any idea Of
the risks accepted BY the ii brave
men who ran out the first en-
CINE. That some, il not nearly all,
would be killed before the work could

only leading idea in the minds Of these
heroes was that enough would be left to
guide the locomotive 70 tho waiting
train. They deliberately accepted the
suicidal task, and bound themselves un-
der oath 70 one another 70 accomplish
the end desired or perish 10 a man. The

such circumstances proves them worthy

The Blues.


asking in substance whether every body
i subject 10 the blues and whether there
il any cure To answer positively yes
or no would convey false impression
and yet either answer would not be alb
soluiely untrue.
Probably every living thing is more or
less subject 10 depression Of spirits-by
which We mean to include animals and
we are BY no means sure that the mala-
DIV does not extend to the vegetable
kingdom As well. Transplant bunch

wood where they have grown 70 beauty

men, bur the chances are that in 4 few
hours the green frondS will have become

begin To curl inward and unless the cir

The case j. exactly parallel in the
higher grades Of life. Who has not seen
dog or horse, or even chicken in
the blues? II l. as plain il them as il il
in child. only in the case Of the latter
we say il has the sulks, and usually
adopt the worst instead of the best way
TO induce a change. Perhaps there are
few rare natures that are not subject 10

Of which we are assured in the better

l. there any earthly cure? Certainly.

man who walks off an attack, another
who rows it off, another who rides II of

by lemon juice or dilute nitromuriatic
acid, often prove effective in the case Of

Always an ounce Of prevention Is
worth pound of cure, for when the at
tack has once set in it requires a strong
effort Of the will to take active measures
for relief.
II is not an easy task to fight of the
blues. Misfortune, sorrow, individual
temperament, and even the accidents Of
wind and weather, often combine to
weigh down the soul until, in extreme
instances, insanity may be the result.
Probably that which comes nearest to
being panacea il occupation, by which
is meant any thing that will interest the
brain or quicken the circulation. Those
who suffer most from the blues permit
mind and body 10 relax before the at
tack is fully developed.
Nevertheless there Is no rule which
can be trusted to cure everyone. Each
must find out what Is most efIectual in
his own case; and II he prays for aid

THE SILVER HILL.

It's now a settled proposition that Il o
Silver bill. az il passed the House, can
never become a Law. II is well that
this Is so. for Il was bo,chsd with job
berry all through. II provided that any
owner Of silver bullion might take 1t to
the mint. have 1t coined. and place 1t in
immediate circulation. There were two
very weigh,y objections to this feature
OF the bill. In the first place any M
who took silver to the mint would re-
csive 81 in money for % cents in silver.
while the Government which gave TO
the silver dollar its value, would gain
nothing. II was to the interest OF the
wealthy producers OF silver. and would
have made Of them brokers on . large
scale. the victim Of their shaving being
the National Government. In the SEC
ond place, as the silver dollar is worth
moro than the silver 1t contains in the
market, the mints would DO crowded
with work. and in . short time. the
country would be flooded with these
coins. We should have . silver inha-
ton as dangerous. II not more 30, as the
gros nbaek imitation. This would b lit
orally Jumping from the frying pan into
the fire.
Fortunately the job has been detected.
and the Objectionable clause stricken out
In the Senate. As the bill now stands.
the nation will purchase its own bull
lion. and the percentage will be COW
cred into the Treasury where II right
fully belongs. The Senate will stand
firm on this point, aud the House must
either acesde to fhs amendment. or the
silver bill will fall through. But now
IN another difficulty. The bill
makes silver a legal tender for all debts,
and IL it passes in its present shape our
bonds. which are now payable in gold.
may be redeemed in the new silver dol
lar. This is manifsstly unjust to their
holders, who took them on the faith OF
the nation that they should Be paid in
gold. The President sees this, aud. II
is said, has declared his intention to
veto the bill, unless a special clause is
inserted providing that the public secu'
rites shall BE- paid in gold coin.
To insert such a clause would be sim
ply doing justice. We rant the silver
Till passed. not to swipdls the creditors
Of the nation. but to prevent the swim
ding Of men OF small means in the fu-
ture. II II can be passed in such a way
~ TO make silver . legal tsndss hersaf-
ter. without acting in the nature OF an
er.post tdeio law. aud annullins contracts
already made, 1t will be u great thing for
the country. Trade will revive in all its
branches. aud prosperity will once again
dawn upon the land. But VI can
not afford to sacrifice the national honor
aud with 1t the national credit, for the
sake Of a temporary relief from our bur-
deus. IL We do this. the reaction will
surely come. and when II dses come our
burdens will 10 ten times as hard to bear
as they were before.

csivc the Presidents approval. An UNI
Just one he will certainly veto. sad there
Is not strength enough In the silver party
TO carry the bill over his veto.
