is begun in earnest; and it is then,
midway between the cradle and the
grave, that man begins to marvel
that he let the days Of youth go by 90

half sadness that we experience when
the longest day Of the year is past,
and that every day that follows is
shorter, and the light fainter, and the
feeble shadows tell that nature is hast.
ening with gigantic footsteps to her
winter grave. So does man look back
upon his youth. When the first gray
hairs become visible, when the unwel-
come truth fastens itself upon the
mind that man is no longer going up
hill, but down, and that the sun is al
ways westering, he looks back on
things behind. When we were chill.
dren, we thought as children. But
now there lies before us manhood,
with its earnest work, and then old
age, and then the grave, and then
home. There is a second youth for
man, better and holier than his first,
il he will look on, and not look back.

Let Lord Byron say what he will Of
bread and butter-girlhoed is beau
tiful season; and its love-its warm,
uncalculating devoted love-so exag'
gerating in its simplicity, so keen from
its freshness, is the very poetry OF at
tachment; after years have nothing
like it. To know that the love which
once seemed eternal can have an end
destroys its Immortality; and thus
brought to level with beginnings and
endings, the chances and changes OF
life, commonplace employments and
pleasures, and, alas! from the sublime
to the ridiculous there is but one step.
The divinity turns out an idol. We
are grown too wise, too worldly for
our former faith, and we laugh at
what we wept before; such laughter is
more bitter-a thousand times more
bitter-than tears. Happy girlhood!
that knows none of these vicissitudes,
that goes laughingly along the road of
life-aye! even enjoying bread and

A rich miller of Hankow, near
Eyer, in Austria, aged sixty, lately
married girl of eighteen, who con-
sented to the match on account of his
wealth and the urgency of her parents.
She was, however, deeply in love with
the millers foreman, and consented to
the murder Of the old man in order to
free herself and enjoy his wealth. The
wedding supper was largely attended
by the villagers, and the festivities
lasted all night. At daybreak the
miller. according to the custom, visi-
ted hi, mil! and was pushed into the
stream by the assistant foreman, who
had been drawn into the plot under a
promise Of money. The water not be-
ing deep, the miller regained his feet,
and struggled violently with his assas-
sin, who was soon assisted by the bride
and her lover. The two men held
him under the water and the girl i'm.

We learn from the columns of the
New York Times that great deal OF
opposition is made in Washington
against the confirmation of Mr.. Har.
Ian, Of Kentucky, as Justice of the
Supreme Court OF the United States,
and that principal ground of this
opposition is the fact that many years
ago he made speeches against the con.
stitutional amendment providing for
negro suffrage in the South.
We trust Mr.. Harlan will he re.
jeclel by the Senate, but not for this
cause. There are much more conclu-
sive reasons against him. In the first
place, he is not iit for the office, and
for that reason alone he should not
have II. But what is more decisive,
he has himself applied for it, and gone
about getting recommendations and
certificates 10 back his application.

eleclioneering in pursuit OF such an

vent its repetition Tor u century to

An amusing case lately occurred in
an English Court. A young man
was engaged to marry a young woman
soon' and in view Of the happy day
gave her batch Of spoons. knives,
glass dishes, and other housekeeping
ware. Just before the wedding-day
the young woman suddenly refused tc
marry her betrothed, because he wa.
in debt fer his wedding clothes. There
upon the rejected lover sued the girl
for the presents he had given her. The
Judge gave him judgment for the
forks and spoons, and things which
had been given with view to matri.
mony, but said the watch-chain, rings,
and so on, he had given her were
personal gifts, and, therefor, should
not be sued for. Young men who are
getting spoony to greater depth than
peanuts and candy should pay atten-
ton to this decision. If they give
diamond rings and watch.chains to
young ladies OF a tickle turn of mind
they can't recover the gifts by law.
But if every young man who has not
paid for his wedding suit should be
refused by his young lady Tor this rea.
son, just at the last moment, wedding
bells would rust their clappers off.
