StoWel' formerly clerk in the Mansion House
in this city, was arrested in Fall River yester
day on charge of obtaining $125.from NJ r M.
Best, the well known provision dealer of Deer
ing, on false pretences. 1t seems that some
time since Mr., Best bought lot Of lambs of
country dealer. The countryman came to
Portland to the New England Fair aud put up
at the Mansion House. On the 4th of Septem-
Der Mr.. Best went to the hotel to pay 1925 for
the lambs. The acting clerk of the house,
named Stowell, said the countryman had gone
| to the park but authorized him to receive the
money. Mr.. Best paid Stowell $125 and said
ne would pay the balance to the creditor at the
park, Stowell cleared out with the S125.

TEMPERANCE LEcTURE.-Rev. De Forest B.
Dodge. of Providence. r. l., delivered his lee
ture on SHOW to Win and Lose Happy
Home, at the Second Parish church last even
Ing, for the benefit of the Woman Temperance
Society. There was large audience present
and the lecturer was listened to with deep at
tentlon. He wildly portrayed the
effect of the social glass and how
1t led step by step to degradation and despair
and transformed a happy home into one of
poverty and wretchedness But hope and en-
couragement were given to the inebriate by
showing how reformation had frequently res.
tored the lowest drunkard to a honorable posi-
ton in the community and brought back to
him what his intemperance had squandered.
Bothsides of the picture were effectively paint
ed, and the lecture cannot fail to be of great
value both as awarning and encouragement.
A contribution was taken up at the close
which is to be devoted entirely to the women's
temperance work in this city.

Birds and Human Nature.

What is that legend of Mrs. Piatt's
poem about the bird in the brain ?
Birds are perhaps the most human of
creatures, and 1 should notbe surprised
if told we all carry more or less of them
in our hearts and brains. 1 have seen
the hawk looking out of the human face
many time, and think [ have seen
the eagle l credit those who say they
have seen the owl. Are not the buzzards
and unclean birds terribly suggestive
The song-birds were surely all brOoded
and Matched in the human heart They
are typical of its highest aspirations, and
and nearly the whole gamut of human
passion and emotion is expressed more
or less in their varied songs. Among
our own birds, there is the song OF the
hermit-thrush for devoutness and re-
igious serenity, that of the wOod-thrush
for the musing melodious thoughts of
twilight, tho song-sparrow's for simple
faith and trust, the bobolink's for
hilarity aud glee, the mourning-dove's
for hopeless sorrow, the vireo's for all
day and every. day contentment, and the
nocturn of the mocking-bird for love.
Then there are the plaintive singers, the
soaring, ecstatic singers, the confident
singers, the gushing and yoluble sing
ers, and the half-voiced, inarticulate
singers. The note of the pewee is a
human sigh, the piping Of the chickadce
unspeakable tenderness and fidelity.
There is pride in the song of the tanager,
and vanity in that of the cat-bird. There
is something distinctly human about the
robin his is the note OF -boyhood. |
have thoughts that follow the migrating
fowls northward and southwark, and
that go with the sea-birls into the desert
of the ocean, lonely and tireless as they.
I sympathize with the watchful crow
perched yonder on that tree, OF walking
about the fields. l hurry outdoors
when I hear the clarion Of the wild
gander his comrade in my heart sends
back the call. John BsHro"ghs, in
Scribner's Magazine.

1t Ended All Right.

A pretty and accomplished widow,
living in Jackson, Miss, met at Sara
toga last summer handsome and in
telligent widower from Norfolk, Va; a
brisk Irritation led to an engagement,
and the lovers separated with the undeY-
standing that she was to return to her
home and break the news to another
lover, who had won her hand before she
went to Saratoga. But it was not SO
easy to be off with the old love as it had
been on with the new. The jackson
gentleman was wild, and despairipg, con-
demning her as an arrant iilt, and VOW
ing that she should marry him or else
remain widow. Letters from Jackson
to Norfolk ; the same from Norfolk to
jackson more of them by every pass
ing mail, and warmer day by day, until
the postal sacks were menaced with
spontaneous combustion ; final result
flight of the widow from her home ana
proposed secret marriage at Baltimore.
The arrangements were perfect, with
one exception. No allowance was made
for the weather. The storm came on,
the rains poured down and the floods
clapped their hands in the valleys of
Virginia. The lady reached the trysting.
point forty-eight hours behind time, and
in a state of mental and nervous collapse.
He was not there to meet her; she
trembled, sighed, telegraphed, cried,
waited two days, and finally resolved to
return to Mississippi. She took the
hotel proprietor into her confidence,
and after settling her account, started
for the Camden station but, as she
was stepping from the platform, 10! a
manly figure. 1t was the gentleman
from Norfolk, who had been tearing his
hair and looking for her in every train
from the South, except the one by which
she had come. They were married that
afternoon at ST. Barnaba's Church, and
went down the bay that night. One of
the first purchases which they will make
on going to housekeeping will be an
almanac.

Condensed Romance.

Who says that there is no romance in
practical America ? Who says that the
days of chivslry and love-making are
gone, and that this is world of ledgers
and blue stockings? Why, the exchange
table shows: (a) that romance begins
early: for Chicago lad of fourteen
eloped last week, with sweet little
miss of thirteen (b) that it gets on fast /:
for dashing naval officer proposed to a
Washington belle last Tuesday, was
accepted on Wednesday and married on
Saturday 4; (c) that it is numerous for a
woman in Coventry, Conn, swears that
like the good wife in Chaucers tale, she
has had seven husbands, and that they
have annoyed her all her life by turning
up after she had every reason to suppose
that they had been hanged as pirates, or
carried off by smallpox +; (dJ that it is
exceedingly uncertain: for "Clara," of
Westtield, Mass, broke the engagement
the moment she heard that her betrothed
had been bitten by mad dog, on the
ground that it would be unsafe to marry
a man who might have the hydrephobia
(e) that it is never too late for it for q
farmer in Massachusetts,, who confessed
his seventy-third year, hired his neigh
boris son to find wife for him, insisting
that she must be young and pretty, and the
agent brought to the venerable widower
an engaging lass of seventeen, who, rather
than work out for living, professed her
willingness to mrrry him, and to inherit
his money in the sweet by-and-by; but
the marriage has cost the old man dear,
for, besides the commissions charged by
the neighbor's son. he has had to give
his daughter, who was the brides senior
by eight years, $10,0 900 outright before
she would consent to leave his roof and
allow him to enjoy his honeymoon. -
