One o. the Meanest Things a Han Can

DO.
Is to nlonopolize the time and at
tention of young girl for a year or
more without any definite object. to
the exclusion of any gentleman, who,
supposing him to have matrimonial in.
tentions, absent themselves from her
society. This prevents the reception
of eligible offers of marriage, and
fastens upon the young lady, when the
acquaintance is finally dissolved, the
unenviable and unmerited appellation
Of ''tlirt." Let all your dealings with
women, young men, be frank, honest
and noble. That many whose educa-
ton and position in like manner would
warrant our looking for better things
are culpably criminal on these points,
is no excuse for shortcomings. That
woman is often injured or wronsed
through her hottest feelings, adds but
a blacker dye to yonr meanings. One
rule is always safe:---Treat every wo-
man you meet as you would wish an
other man to treat your innocent and
confding sister, EIchunge.

BLAINE'S SPEECH.

While the army appropriation bill
was being discussed in the senate,
on Monday, Senator Blaine made a
brilliant speech; he raked the demo
cracy fore and aft; he showed the alb.
surdity Of the democratic argument
that the south was ruled by bay
onets'' by proving from satisfies that,
there were only 1875 soldiers in the
entire south---not quite one to each
county, while in New England there
were $50 soldiers, about 100 to every
million inhabitants. Referring to the
threats Of the democrats to coerce the
president into signing the bill provid-
ing for the repeal Of the election law,
he said:
"He had always understood that
the government was divided into three
distinct departments, legislative, ex.
ecutive and judicial; but now the legis.
lative branch struts forward and says
if the executive does not sign the bills
it offers, it will starve the judiciary.
This was carrying the matter further
than he had ever known it to go be-
fore, land besides starving the judiciary,
the other side would refuse to ap.
propriate dollar for the expenses OF
the capitol buildings and grounds, for
public printing, for the congressional
library, or for the department Of
state, of which the country had rea.
son to be proud for its conduct of for.
eign affairs, was to be disa bled, and
our diplomatic relations must cease.
Unless the president signs these bills,
the beacons and warning
lights on $4,000 miles d
coast must go out; the minis
of New Orleans, Denver, San Fran
cisco and Philadelphia must stop; the
pension bureau must suspend oper
ations; all the executive functions O
the government are taken by the
throat in highway man style, and com
manded to stand and deliver in the
name Of the democratic caucus

To mitten me for some one else, as YOU
have done tonight.
Now Jean, I'm but an awkward lad, It's
plain enough to own;
Perhaps l can't talk nice an sweet as
that young man from town:
But III tell you what it is, my girl, the
heart within my breast a..
Is as true as any heart that beats beneath

Some time, far in the future, when the
past comes back to you,
You may find that, oily tongues are false,

meath the moon}it skies, .
When the sweetest light that could see
was the starlight of you eyes.

For it seems he's come atween us, Jean
and with his soft-toned lies
Has filed thy heart with honied words

Will lure you from the old love, lass, tc
the danger of the new,
But as the years shall pass away, you'll

So l shall sell the homestead, Jean, an
