GIRLuooD's PERILs.-We copied yes
terday brief article from the New York
Herald warning girls to beware of favoring
the attentions of men who cannot, with rca-
son, be expected to marry them. "Mcu,"
says the Herdht, whose intentions are hon
orable, WOO girls at their homes and not by
stealth aud in out of.the-way places"
1t is difficult to persuade an American
girl that she cannot take care of herself.
The customs of our society throw h.r ear
ly on her own resources. While still in
her teens she enters society and associates
with persons of opposite sex on walks, drives
and excursions. Her mother seldom thinks
ofbseytdigSA female companiop. for the
|a5aughtcr, but trusts wholly to tho purity
md nodesty of the latter to protect her
FROM advances in the company Of men which
will compromise her good name. Aud it
should be remembered that the girls of no
other country arc SO worthy of this conf
dcncc. Thrown upon their own RESPONSE
bility the vast majority of them pass the
ordeal unscathod, and when they marry arc
as chastc in thought and life as though
they had never passed the precincts of their
homes without the companionship of their
mothers, true as steel to their personal hon
or and to that of their husbands.
But among the millions who stand un.
tarnlshed. there are scores and hundreds
who fall into the mire. Delighted with
their freedom, fattered and fascinated bv
tho attentions of well dressed and agreeable.

aud insidious promises usually, but some-
times through the fire and recklcssnsss
caused by wine and drugs, take the fatal
step which forever separates them from
their consciousness of purity and robs them
OF their right to rank among the chaste
and honorable women of society There ia
but one safe rule for girls to adopt in their
relations with men, and that is to encourage
no advances which cannot be witnessed and
approved at home. This rule, if observed,
will save infinite sorrow and trouble to
many who even now arc treading danger
ously near the precipicc. Those chance
acqualntances which American girls are so
accustomed to make on the cars, at excur.
sions, in stores and elsewhcae, without any
guarantee of the standing or respectability
Of tbe men introduced, should. be avoided.

The Unscientitlc Temperament.

Men who form their opinions hastily
and adhere to them tenaciously, are un-
fitted by the very constitution OF their
minds for scientific Investigations
Usually the less substantial are the
grounds for such persons opinions,
the more violent is he in the expression
Of them, and the more tolerant IT other
views. We have too many writer's OF
this type in agricultural journalism.
They will give no attention to facts that
oppose their preconceived ideas, and
have no other method Of opposing the
propounders Of such facts but by .
weak scornfulness. Truth cannot be
put down in that way. but it, progress
may be hindered when those who find
pooh poohingl more convenient than
reasoning OCCUPY conspicuous places.
The history Of all progress shows the
encounters Of truth with this false con-
servstism, which stands in the way Of
progress as snow obstructs q railway
engine. Sometimes il 10 packed in

A WALLED-IN COUNTRY. "A gentleman
travelling in Russia writes 10 the Boston
Journal about the difficulties of getting
in and out OF that walled-in country:
Russia is to-day walled in as China
never was. She has difficult lam
guage, and an alphabet which makes a
book look as if It were turned upside
down, whether it is or isn't. She has
deprecated currency, which prevents
Russians from buying or travelling
abroad without taking two roubles for
one.
She has an odious system Of suryeil-
lance which makes stranger i'll at ease.

leave the country, and consider what
have had to do.
At Tefiis I obtained from the Gov
ernor visa, saying, Nothing stands
in the way Of his departure !" at Poti

toum = and at Batoum two more, one
from the police authorities, and the
other from the Custom House officials,
saying, "This is our final consent" OF

not obtained without great deal Of

q soldier who would not face the music.

These cases were getting too numor-

Col. B., A. A. G. Of our brigade.

those seeking for safety and return
them to their respective posts Of duty.

Br FRANCIS .. SMITH.

Ny little one lies cold and stark
The house 10 silent now
For cruel Death has set his mark
Upon my darling's brow.
A sweet, angelic sacrifice,
His spirit has found rest.
And like broken lily lies
On Jesus' loving breast.
A few iast-heeting hours. and then
They'll take my boy away;
I'll never press his lips again,
Nor watch his baby-play.
But when in sleep his name ! call,
His soul will tarry neN,
And In response / know ] shall
His angel footsteps Lear.
And though in coming days I'll miss
Ny boy now in the sky,
Yet In my seeming twill DO bliss
To feel him ever nigh.
I'll catch his whisper in the wind,
And ON the golden stair.
With chastened heart and soul resigned
His footsteps shall hear.

A MARR1AGE-MAKEB.--When Profess
scr Aytoun was making proposals for
marriage to his first wife--a daughter
Of the celebrated Professor Wilson,
the lady reminded him that it would
be necessary to ask the approval Of her
sire. 81
" Certainly, said Aytoun; "but AZ
I am q little diffident IN speaking to
him ON the subject, you must 60 and
tell him my proposals yourself"
The lady proceeded to the library,
and taking her father affectionately by
the hand, mentioned that Professor
Aytoun had asked her to become his
wife. She added -" Shall j accept
his offer, papaa He says he is too
diffdeDs to name the subject to you

I think he would be willing 10 wait
several years fer his money rather than
distress us."
With what emotion the stranger lis
tened may b imagined. A new world
was being opened 10 him. he was
passing through an experience that had
never been his before. Shortly after
the conclusion Of the meal he arose TO
take his leave, thanking Mr.. and Mrs.
Bishop for their kind hospitality.
Mr.. Merton did not sleep much that
night; he lay awake thinking. He had
received q new revelation. The poor

with stupidity and ignorance. and the
first poor family be- had found far in

and politeness, Of the exquisite and
fashionable butterflies of the day.
The next day boy called at the cot
tage and left Q package in . large blue
envelope, directed to Mr.. Bishop.
Mrs. Bishop was very much alarmed
when she took it, for large blue en-
velopes were associated in her mind
with law and lawyers, and she thought
that it BODIED no good. She put it away
until her husband came home from
work, when she handed it to him.
He opened it in silence. read its con.
tents, and said fervently. "Thank
Heaven I"
"what is il. John9" inquired his
anxious wife.
"Good news, wife," replied John.
"Such news as I never hoped for or
even dreamed Of"
"What is it? Tell me quick-I want

dicious experiment with his students.
He placed each week fifty copies 81 3
good daily and other papers and maga-

students seemed indifferent, but gradu-
ally they began to read, and in short
tme they showed great interest in the
leading topics of the day. and conyerEa-
ton at the table and elsewhere changed
very much for the better. His expert
ence leads the principal to strongly
recommend the use Of newspapers in

degree in the mathematical trpos OF Gahi His taste
for natural science developed tsof with his natural
tendency toward the higher branches OF matho-
matics. But Trinity was at the time fun OF candi-
