Something for the Unmarried to
Read.

The Cleveland Leader, 10 an ella
bortate article headed, "what kind of
man is attractive TO women2n
thus sensibly answers the question:
The answer can be given in o few
words. God has so made the sexes
that women like children cling to
men; lean upon them for rroteo.
ton care and love; look up TO them
as though they were superior in
mind and body. They make them
the suns of their system and they
and their children revolve around
them. Men gre gods if they but
knew it and women bur ming incense
at their shrines. Women, therefore
who have good minds aAd pure
hearts want men TO lean upon.
Think of their reverencing drunk.
arr, q lara fool, libertine
Ii o man would have woman to
do him homage, he must be manly
in ever sense; true gentlemen not
after the Chesterfield school, but pc.
lite because his heart is full OF kind
ness to alt; one who treats her with
respect, even Difference, because she
is woman; who never condescerds
60 say silly things TO her; who
brings her up to his level, in his
mind is above hers who 10 never
anxious to please her, but always
dignified iu speech and in act; who
never spends too much upon her;
never yields to temptation, even if
she puts it in his way; who is am
bilious to make his mark in the
world, whether she encourages him
or not; who is never familiar with
her to the extent OF being an adopt
ed brother or cousin who is not
over careful about dress, always
pleasant aud considerable, but always
keeping his place as man tho head
and never losing his self-respect.
Such department, with noble prin.
ciples, good mind, energy and ill.,

land who is worth winning.

From the Steven. po,p, journal.
A big sensation a, steven. Point.

From the Stevens Point journal,
If there had come sudden clap
of thunder from the clear sky the
members of the County Board
would not have been more surprised
than they We're by the announcement,
made to then, by County Clerk
James B Carpenter, last Thursday
morning On the assembling of the
Board. Mr. Carpenter appeared and
called the roll as usual, and then
addressed that body substantially az
follows
"GESrLRxEN L have a communication
which ! dislike to make. I am a defaulter
and you viii have to choose clerk ia my
place"
He then took his hat and left the
room. No investigation of the affairs
of his Office bad been made in facs
the Board had only Just been organ
lied, ADD the announcement was a
total surprise. During the forenoon
Mr.. Carpenter sent in his resigna-
ton, but by vote of the Bosrd action
was deferred until an investigation
of the affairs of the office would be
made. He was suspended, and
John X. Mcdonald appointed 10
bis stead. Carpenter also made 9
written request to the Chairman OF
the Board to be placed under arresi
but Oh this no action was taken.
The amount Of tho defalcation Is OF
ly a matter of conjecture. The
news Of his downfall, all as ii was
passed from mouth to mouth on
Thursday, created great sensation.
He Is a positive man, and be has
been an active partisan. As such he
has made more or less enemies
Therefore It is not surprising that
by some the news was gloated ov.
er. Generally, however, the news
was received by members of bott
parties w;.a sincere regret. We hat
an interview with Carpenter Thurs
day. and found BIN totally I'M
strung. At that time he was in n.
condition to make statement o
the affairs OF the Office. A commit
ties of the Board commenced an ia
vestigation of the ofiice Thursda,

A Word to Students.

IL should be the aim Of the stu.

boy and girl shed happiness wher.
ever they GO, if they are careful TO
control their gayety, and allow it's
dow only in the proper place; but
hey should never permit the love
OF the mirthful to infringe on the
rules of the schoolroom or the laws
OF etiquette. On the contrary, true
courtesy should teach them to use
every endeavor to aid the teacher
10 his work, as in so doing they are
themselves roaming the benefit.

Those who ere prompt, punctusl

which they may procure a liv elhood;

The bay sh9uld never take pride

worthless men did this when they

The youth should earnestly re.

noble position in life. With the
wide opportunities which open to
the ambitious and the enterprising
IN this age of progression there is
no limit to the greatness which the
thoroughly earnest student may
attain. The idle and the dissolute
will naturally of their own weight
drop out by the wayside and sink
from sight. The plodder who is
content to go the dull, daily round

reward of his labor though he never

a CALI. ON TALMAGE.

Probability that He Val Join the Con0re-
gdtional Church.
A correspondent called upon the Rev. L.
Dewitt Talmage in his home at No. South
Oxford street, Brooklyn, to inquire relative
to his alleged determination to leave the
Presbyterian denomination on account of
the pursuit of him by some of the leading
ministers of the Brooklyn Presbytery.
Talmage came in roaring with laughter.
He had received from all hands the express
sion that his speech just before he broke
loose from the Presbytery after his acquital
was one of the best things he had
delivered, although it had made his
antagonistic brethren almost wilt with rage.
"The Lords field is big enough for us
all to work in without striking hoe handles
he said, 'and if I am cultivating my field
and tending to it in my own way, don't see
why anybody should leave the work in his
field and come over to interfere with me Just
because don't work as he does. Three or
four ships might as we'll quarrel at sea because
there Ia not water enough. The church
only touches the rim of the great mass of
people who need help.''
"Have you concluded to leave the Presby-
terian denomination?'' asked the CORES
pondent. -.
"There has been nothing settled about
that yet. My ties to that denomination were
never very strong, and they are weaker now
than ever before, but it seems to me that the
one-man power which has so long controlled
the Brooklyn Presbytery has been
broken. I had to meet solid body against
me when I went to that ecclesiastical
court. The Lord has led me through. Twas
raised up so that am not much of SEC
tartan. I can't tell what church 1 will
choose. The largest part of my congrega-
ton are of New England rearing, and are
inclined to the Congregational form of gov
ernment. When the smoke of the conflict
clears away we will talk the matter over. OF
course, it will not be pleasant for us to re-
main in the Brooklyn presbytery.'
The venerable DR.. Spear, who was Tai
mage's counsel in the trial, and is one of
the editors of the Independent, has fallen
quite in love with Talmage, although when
he did not know him 80 we'll he confesses
| that he called him a buffoon, and spoke
strongly against him. DR.. Spear went to
hear him preach on Sunday, and said that if
it was necessary to testify his respect and
admiration for DR.. Talmage any further, he
would change his church relations and be-
come member of the Tabernacle.
