A Deserved Fate.

The awful fate of the professional firt
is thus wildly depicted by London
Truth: An honest man naturally assumes
that girl is ingenious st any rate in
her affections. He has a right to sup
pose, if she displays preference for him,
that she entertains it; and if she ex-
hibits this sentiment beyond a certain
point, he is entitled to conclude that she
will accept him as lover, and finally as
a husband, in case his means are sufficient
to justify him in aspiring to the respOn-
sible position of the head of household.
He has every cause of complaint If, after
leading him to believe himself engaging,
a young lady refuses to be engaged to
him. 1t can not but be notifying TO
man to feel affection for girl, which she
shows no symptom of returning; yet
this is lot to which no brave man would
demur. 1t has happened to some of the
best, the most virtuous, the most distin-
guished, and even the most fascinating
of the male species. But it must be
something more than notifying to
man to fall in love, and to be made to
fall in love with girl who, all the time
she was leading him on, was calculating
what triumph it would be to drive him
of. That there are girls who do this is
certain, and they are the girls who get
the " no end OF offers" Once a girl per
mits herself to indulge in this psstime,
habit soon becomes a second nature, and
she ends by being as incapable of loving
a man as of not wanting men to love her
After time she ends her career of dis
enchanting them by herself becoming
anything but enchanting. She gets
"blown upon," and the result of her
numerous offers is that she can not find
a husband. 1t is not that men become
afraid of being rejected by her, but rather
that they would dread being accepted.
She may still maintain all the dePort-
ment of q successful firt, and some men
may yet firt with her. But they go no
further. She must console herself with
her doubtful "reminiscences. Her passion
for homage has survived in all its intenS
sity, but it is a fire fed with very little
fuel. It will then be found that she
seeks comfort in imagining that men aIo
still proposing to her, and she drops mys>
ferrous hints as to lovers who have still
to be discarded. People smile and pity
her. Yet she scarcely deserves to be
pitied. She forgot that admirable truth
He comes too near whs CO mes to be denied"
And after having spent her youth in de-
nying others, she has to pass the middle
age in denying herself.

The Pollen Shower.
Rehding lPenn.A EaEle.


All over the city to-day could be seen
a very strange yellow deposit on brick
pavements and figs. Wherever a pool
O water was formed from the rain-drops
could be seen the yellow deposit, very
much resembling yellow Ochre. Many
were of the opinion that it had rsined
sulphur, and Others thought it was moth
or mold. Hundreds o. citizens gath
cred samples of it for the purpose Of
having it examined under the micro
scope. The strange matter either csme
down with the rain-drops, or it wa
washed from the house-tops. some SER
,ntiic men believe that it came from
the clouds direct or that the descending
moisture gathered it from the atmos~
phere 1t adheres to the earth between
the bricks of the pavement and resem'
bles a mold. The color is a bright vel
low, and it is without taste or Odor. Il

growth. Now, had its color been green
there might have been some connection
with the traditions of St. Pstrick's Day
and the emerald, but it is yellow, JUS
as il the city had received baptism
with yellow ochre. The fact has crea

Chrss1iHn Integrity.

Everything in Christianity tends to
enforce the practice of justice and integ-
rity in all your dealings. 1t is the very
spirit OF the law which says: "Thou shalt
not covet." 1t is impossible to lay down
general principles upon this subject; but
in matters of prudence, last thoughts are
best; in morality your first thoughts are
best. Where things are Indifferent as to
principle, we have frequently to calcu
late consequences, which requires long
train of thought and reflection; but in
matters of conscience God has not left
US to such a process as this, for he has
placed in the heart of every man a vice
gerent, and whatever this conscience tes-
titles at first is best; you may upbrsid its
voice and may silence it, but whatever
in it's first movements it condemns ought
to be opposed. Your endeavOrs to resist
it will be like labOring in the fire; al
ways then, in matters of morality, trust
your first thoughts. Persons are suffi-
GENTLY selfish not to give sentence in
favor of themselves; and, ike every
other faculty, conscience is liable to be-
come darkened but if the light that is
in you be darkness, how great is that
darkness! 1t is in putting out as ar as
possible the light of the mind, and leav-
ing us in a state of abject wretchedness.
1t is suicide of the immortal part.

A Frightful Scene.

During an exhibition of some wild
beasts couple of weeks ago at the thea
Ter in a small town in Thurineia (Ger>
many), a frightful scene occurred. A
leopsrd was not so Submissive to the
tamer as usual, and dashed wildly about
the cage. Suddenly two OF the bars
gave way, and the animal sprsng with
tremendous bound among the spectators
in the pit. The terrified people rushed
oell nell to the door, but the beast at
tackled the hindmOst of them with his
teeth and claws, and in four minuteshad
ziIled woman and child, and fearfully
acerated four other persons about the
face and neck. The moment the leep-
ard escaped from its cage the beast tanner
and his assistants hurried after it, armed
with spears, but were unable to over
come it until it dropped dead from its
wounds. On examining the broken bars
Of the cage, it was discovered that they
had been fled. An attendant, lStelv
dismissed for drunkenness, has been ar
,ested on suspicion of being the author
OF this atrocious deed.

Love Is Ef1e.

"Tbou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and With ali thy soul
and with all thy mind" This is the first
and great commandment. Love is life.
It is the fulfilling OF the law of our
being. Only as we woIthily love do We
truly live; only when we love with
perfect affection that which is perfectly
worthy of our affection do we attain
unto the supreme good of life, Concern
ing these truths there hes been no dis
pute; all that is deepest in man has
sfirmed them with unhesitatiEg faith.
and therefore the first great command
ment of the law has almost the force OF
a first truth of reason. Men have always
been ready to join in this confession
q l need to love some one with heart and
soul and mind; 1 ought to love God,
the Infinitely Gi.od, with all my heart
and soul I'd mind" But when you
have denied to God conscious person.
atty what have you done with these
deepest sentiments of the human nature
out of which our highest morality
springs? You have cut them up by the
roots, or trsmpled them under your feet
You cannot if you try to leve with al
your heart and soul and mind, any
Being that cannot love you with hear

The Third Class in Should be
Sent Home to Their Mammas.
New York, July 25.-The Times
prints an account of the insubordina-
tion in the third class cadets of West
Point, growing out of the recent haz-
ing, for which six members were sem
fenced to dismissal. Pending the ap-
proval of the sentence by the secretary
of war, the other members of the class,
encouraged by the delay to believe that
the sentence would not be approved,
resumed their hazing operations, and
when called to answer the usual formu-
la of questions concerning the Offend
ers, one and all refused to answer any,
thing whatever. The questions were
carefully framed in accordance with
general regulations and articles of war.
The refusal to answer them constituted
no less than four distinct, separate
breeches of the articles. The class,
individually and in a mass, was report
ed as having refused, by the court, to
Superintendent Gen. Scoield, and there
the matter rests until the general shall
hear from Washington about what's to
be done with the original six delin-
Quents.

that they have been grossly misrepre-

serted, leaving them without a dollar,

we were doing such indispensable SER
