Condensed Romance.

Who says that there is no romance in
practical America? Who says that the
days of chivalry 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 a 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 q
Washington belle last Tuesday, was
accented on Wednesday and married on
Saturday; (c) that it is numerous for q
woman in Coventry, Conn.,, swears that,
like the good wife in Chaucer's 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 (0 that it Is
exceedingly uncertain: for "Clara," OF
Westfeld, Mass, broke the engagement
the moment she heard that her betrothed
had been bitten by a mad dog, on the
ground that it would be unsafe to marry
a man who might have the hydrshobia:
(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 m1try him, and to inherit
his money in ths 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, $4,000 outright before
she would consent to leave his roof and
allow him to enjoy his honeymoon.-

Popular Dress Material.

The material called neigeuse has be-
come SO popular that all woolen stuffs
are made to represent this appearance
all are speckled, faxed and dotted with
soft wool or floss silk. The cloth
vigogne- which is so much used for
paletots, mantles and jackets, is in great
fevor, is soft, warm and light, and, be-
ing inexpensive, will probably oe much
in request for costumes. 49,. .., :.
Thibet cloth, thicker than vigogne, is
of finer texture and sprinkled all over
with long hairs. Real Thibet cloth is a
very expensive and handsome material
but there are many limitations in differ
ent qualities and at different prices.
The material called mouse and
bourette are very similar to the neigeuse,
in fact, they seem to be only different
names for the same thing. The trim
ming most suitable to this material is
either velvet or plush in plain bands,
but for cashmere or plain cloths mum.
of fancy galloons, etc., are employed
with very great effect. Another style
of trimming, which may be had ready
made and which is very effective, is 9
border embroidered of colored floss silk
over strip of cloth of the same shade
as the dress. Shades of moss green are
the most fashionable for this en-
broidery.
As for the styles the dressmakers have
modified many Of those which have beer
in fashion during the past few months
however, the long polonaise is still con-
sidered very useful for ordinary wear,
and the costume with gilet, for more
special occasions, as well as on the
blouse and plastron of various kinds,
which latter are surely, if slowly, coming
into fashion.-Ne York Herald.

An Awful Crime.

At Lawrenceville, Ohio, one night re-
Gently, Joseph Kunzier was shot by his
thirteen-year old son, at the instigation
of his mother. The husband and wife
had lived unhappily for some time, and
on the night in question the father had
gone to the village, and while absent
Mrs. Kunzier prevailed on the boy to
load the gun and lay in wait for his
father. The boy obeyed, and, conceal
ing himself behind a woodpile, waited
for an hour, and when his father came
into the yard shot him through the
back. This done, he went into the
house, when the mother took the gun
from him and laid it by the side of her
husband, who, still alive, was crying for
help. She then returned to the house
and went to bed with her boy, but
neither being able to sleep, subsequently
arose and cooked supper, which they
ate. All through the night they heard
means and appeals for help from the
father, who was still alive, but paid no
heed to them. In the morning neigh
Dor came to the house to employ KIunz-
Ter, and found him lying on the ground
in pool of blood, although still alive,
while the woman was some distance
away unconcernedly engaged in her do
mestic work. When asked concerning
her husband she replied that he had
shot himself. Subsequently the coro-
ner was summoned from Lawrenceburg,
and the investigation showed that the
man could not h We killed himself.
Suspicion was direc ed to the woman
and her boy. The latter when separated
from his mother, confessed that he had
done the deed ab her command, saying
that she had been urging him to do it
for year past. He also told how they
spent the night in the hearing Of the
cries Of his father, yet neither came to
his assistance.

"I will tell YOU by and BY"

The twilight grew more dim as they
talked of unimportant things, until they
could not see each others faces. The

There seemed more to be said, but
she could not say it. Her voice died on
her lips, and the eager light in Fennel
Gould's eyes faded.
"I cannot stay, Bertrode; don't be

He stopped to kiss her head. Hel

House Plants.

Dust, insects, dry air and over-water'
ing are the principal difficulties they
have to contend with. By arranging
some light covering to put over them
while the room is being swept, an occa'
sional syringing in the bath-tub, kitchen
sink, or elsewhere, supplemented by
sponging the leaves of all smooth leaved
plants, this great enemy to plant health
may be kept under.
Insects may be kept off by hand pick
ing and brush if needed, apply
tobacco water, or arrange box or bar
rel in which they may be thoroughly
fumigated with tobacco smoke.
Overwhelming kills more plants than
dryness. Pots in the house, especially
the handsome glazed ones, should be
provided with abundant drainage

then layer of moss, to keep the earth
from washing down, and then soil

allow the water to pass through. With
these precautions there IL no danger,
but where the surface Of the soil is
muddy an hour after watering, there is
something wrong, and plants will not

Hcrolsm in the Life.Saving Service.

Instances of heroism are not wanting
in the history OF the Gfe-saving service.
The records are full of them. On the
evening OF the first Of last March, the
Italian bark Nuova Ottawa was wrecked
on the North Carolina coast. The men
in the station saw her at sunset under
sail, and about five miles from the shore.
The weather was cloudy and the wind
from the southeast. The sea WAS rough
and the surf high. heavy and winding.
Soon after dark the bark stranded on the
reef, with her head TO the northwest
before the wind, about 400 yards from
from the station. Her running ashore
was a mystery. It was evidently not
from stress Of weather, as several of her
sails were left standing, and were still so
the next day when her masts went over
her sides. The patrol hurried to the
station and reported her ashore. She
was rapidly breaking up, and might be
entirely gone before the life-car appara-
tus could be rugged. The men did not
hesitate moment, but instantly deter
mined to put off in tie life-boat to rescue
her crew, if possible, before she went to
pieces. In their haste they did not even
wait to buckle on the cork jackets: The
boat was successfully launched through
the heavy surf, and the vessel was
reached. A whip-line WAS made fast
Just forward of the mainmast. Ten
minutes after the boat left the shore a
shrek was heard. Half an hour after
ward four oars drifted ashore, and in a
short time the boat itself came, bottom
up. The brave seven men who put of
to rescue the perishing crew were oil
drowned. Several of their bodies
drifted ashore next morning, but the rest
were never seen. Several of. the crew OF
the bark drifted ashore, were taken care
OF under DR.. Sawtelle's resuscitating
process and their lives were saved.
Some of them remained unconscious for
more than eight hours, but eventually
recovered. The italian government
afterward gave $408 dollars to the fam
lilies of the lost crew-S78 to the family
of the keeper, and S55 to that OF each OF
the others.

Whittier,s Seyentieth Birthday.

Mr.. John Greenleaf Whittier was
seventy years of age on the seventeenth
day of December, and the Literary
World, of Boston, honors the occasion
with special number, in which the bard
of Amesbury is made the subject Of
poems by Longfellow, Bayard Taylor,
Stedman, Holmes, Hayne, G: P.
Lathrop, Holland, Harrison, Hiram
Rich, Lydia Maria Child, James Free
man Clarke, William s. Shurtleff, Celia
Thaxter and Charlotte F. Bates; of
letters from Mr.. Bryant, Mr.. R. 81.
Dana, Bancroft, o. W. Elliott, Francis
Parkman, Higginson, Mrs. Stowe, Oliver
johnson and Robert Collyer and of a
descriptive paper by Charles B. Rice.
MIR. Bryant's letter is as follows:
~ should be glad to celebrate in Eerse the
seventieth return of John Greenleaf Whittier's
birthday, il the thoughts and words fitting
such an occasion would come at call, to be ar
ranged in some poetic form, but And that
mnst content myself with humble prose. Let
me- say, then, that rejoice at the dispensation
which has 40 long spared to the world poet
whose life is a. beautiful 80 his verse, who has
occupied himself only with noble themes, and
treated them nobly and grandly, and whose
songs in the evening Of life are as sweet and
thrilling as those Of the vigorous meridian. II
the prayers Of those who delight in his verse
shall be heard, that life will be prolonged in s1
it's beauty and serenity, for the sake Of world
which is better for his having lived and far
will be the day when all that we will have Of
him will be his writings and his memory.
w. q. BRYANT.
Mr.. Longfellow's poem is called "The
Three Silences. We copy it entire:
Three silsnces there are the first of speech,
The second of desire, the third Of thought !;
This is the lore Spanish monk, distraught
With dreams and visions was the first to teach.
These silences, commingling each with each,
Made up the perfect Silence that he sought
And prayed for, and wherein at times he
caught
Mysterious sounds from realms beyond our
reach.
Oh, thou, whose daily life anticipates
The life to come, and in whose thought and
The spiritual world preponderates.
Hermit Of Anesbury thou, too, hast heard
Voices and melodies from beyond the gates,
And speakest only when thy soul is stirred.
OF Mr.. Taylor's poem We give three
stanza's. Reading the lines in Whittier's
hand, and studying the past az the
palmist studies the future, Mr.. Taylor
traces the life of the poet, and writes {:
Here art thou, Poet-more than warrior, priest !;
And here thy quiet years
Yield more to us than sacrifice or feast,
Or clash Of swords or spears.
The faith that lifts, the courage that sustains,
These thou vert sent to teach
Hot blood of battle beating in thy veins,
Is turned to gentle speech.
Another line upon thy hand trace,
All destinies above;
Men know thee most as one that loves his race,
And bless thee with their love.
