been made by an African explorer He has undergone
prvations that would have appalled, any other man;
his path was bcsct with sayaecs OF the most hostile
character who contested every loot of his advance.
The Jungles and swamps literally tcemcd with reptiles
and animals, and mnsmatic swamps gave forth DEATH
dealing tunes. Roads he had none. but these things
DID not deter him. 40 kept bavcy on his way, over
came every obstacle, and demonstrated the truth OF
many disputed points Of history. y While too
much praise cannot well be bestowed upon Stanley Tor
his courage and perseverance, in tho face OF almost
surmountable obstacles, IL should be borne In mind
that tho proprietor oil the NEW York HERALD fur

manly he bowed before the audience,
and proceeded with his lecture, but he
had spoken but few moments before
he discovered a pair Of black eyes
fixed upon him, the expressive black
eyes OF Ruth Ward. He hesitated a
moment embarrassed and confused,
then regaining his self-possession, he
broke the thread Of his discourse and
related his experience. There was a
dead silence in the room, as the hand
some man told his past degradation,
his temptations, his broken resolves,
and his meeting with the good man
who had befriended him. Not an eye
in that great assembly was free from
tears, and when he had closed with
an eloquent peroration Of warning to
young men, there was moments 81.
lence, then cheer after cheer rent the
air, and men and women crowded
around the platform to clasp the hand
of the young orator. In vain he looked
for the black eyes which had inspired
him to speak with such eloquence, they
were not there to greet him. Disap'
pointed he was about to depart, for
the hall was nearly empty, when he
felt touch on his arm, aud turning
behelI the black eyes full OF tears,
but the red lips wreathed with a
smile. At the treshold of the old man
sion that night, he received the good
night kiss, and the promise that the
early spring should find them man
and wife.

-------S -
sSy- A clergyman, widower, re-
siding in one Of our Vermont rural
towns, recently created a frst-class
sensation in bis household, which con-
sisted Of several grown up daughters.
The reverend gentleman was absent
from home for a number Of days Wis
iting in an adjoining town. Tie daugh
ter received a letter from their father
which stated he had married widow
with six sprightly children, and that
he might be expected home at GER
tam time. The effect Of the news was
a great shock to the happy family
The girls, noted for their meekness
and amiable temperaments, seemed
another set of beings; there was weep
ing ana waillng and tearing Of hair,
and all manner Of naughty things
said. The tidy home was neg lected,
and when the day of arrival came the
house was anything but inviting. At
last the Rev. Mr.. came, but he
was alone. He greeted his daughters
as usual, and as he viewed the neglect
ed parlors there was merry twinkle
in his eye. The daughters were ner
vous and evidently anxious. At last
the eldest mustered courage enough,
and asked
Where is mother 2
In heaven, says the good man.
But where is the widow with six
children, which you wrote you had
married .
why, married her to another man,
my dears.
1t is said to have been real amusing
to see those seven girls set things to
rights.
Never nse ladys name in an i'm
proper place, at an improper time, or
in mixed company. Never make asser-
tions about her you think untrue, or
allusions that she herself would blush
to hear. When you meet with men
who do not scruple to use woman s
name in a reckless maner, shun them !;
they are the very worst members Of a
community; men lost to every sense of
honor, every feeling Of humanity.
