Why | am a Bachelor.

ONE day on my way to neighboring
~ city was sitting in a car yawning
most terribly, and mentally cursing the
whole Railroad Company for the slow
ness of the speed, and the frequent stop
page of the train when, as if to rebuke
me for my impatience, there entered the
car a girl of about eighteen, and took
seat just across the aisle.
OF course it was not long before had
taken thorough look-and as the opera
ton was continued some time, it is un-
necessary to say she was beautiful. De
scription cannot show forth her charms,
but, as you never saw any one half SO
lovely, it must be used to convey an
idea, though faint one, of her beauty.
Her figure perfect and plump, face more
exquisitely lovely than that of Venus
eyes deep enough and liquid enough to
draw water, and the prettiest little foot
and ankle ever made. In fact, Don
Quixotes description of his sweetheart
might with more propriety be applied to
her.
"Her hair night, her forehead the
Elysian fields, her eyebrows, her eyes
suns, her cheeks roses, her lips coral,
her teeth pearls, her neck alabaster, her
bosom marble, her hands ivory and her
whiteness snow"
You cannot and will not blame me
for staring at her. After sitting some
time silent, she attempted to raise the
window, and though she appeared quite
strong she failed. AS in gdLLantry
bound offered my services, raised the
window and retook my seat like BASH
full boy. But continued to look, and
soon commenced to "blink" and bat
my eyes at her as if going to sleep. AT
one of the "blinks" L caught her eyes
and she "blinked" responsive. If an
old fogy had been near, it is altogether
probable that he would have accused
me of winking.
Ay this time thought she ought to
be cold, and she consented for me to pull
down the window. Exhausted by my
labor sank trembling into the seat be-
gan gasping out parts and parcels of a
conversation, in which she assisted.
After the usual introduction / led the
way up to calm, dignified discussion
of the question, "What is love ?" How
she understood it Love, she said
was glorious-it was fine, it was fun
the mutual attraction of opposite, though
congenial heart, etc., etc. She said sht
had been in love dozen times month
and enjoyed it every time; frequently
fell in love at first sight--could love any
body at times Question by subscriber)

"Oh, by the way, Landersdale," Van
Ruyter said, Tiny old friend lectures to-
/ night. Colonel Fielding has won an
enviable reputation as an orator, and
Maud Is of course exceedingly proud of
her lord and master"
Verne made some rather wandering
reply, and sat gazing absently before
him. He had strolled into the hall to
while away leisure hour, and had not
the remotest idea of who the lecturer
was, or what was the subject of his
discourse.
The band struck up "See the Con-
quering Hero Comes;" and John Field
ing, sterner and graver than of old came
upon the platform with a party of gem
tlemen. He was introduced to his audi
ence, heartily cheered, and then stepped
forward to the reading. desk.
Enough to say, that 1t was entertain
ing, witty and eloquent, with here and
there touch of almost sublime power,
and drew down enthusiastic applause
from his critical Boston audience.
At last 1t was over and, making his
way through crowd of admirers, John
Fielding passed Verne rather roughly in
endeavoring to reach Maud and her par
ty. He turned to apologize, with court
ly bow; and Verne, seeing he was rec
ognized, impulsively held out his hand.
John, can the past ever be forgot
ten between us L have just returned
from abroad and wish to see mother, and
make up old scores"
He tried to laugh but his voice
choked. John Fielding's face grew
stern and sorrowful but he did not re-
ject the proffered hand.
g forgive you, Verne," he said, " be-
cause you are my brother, and / must
remember that the same mother bore
us. But you can never make your peace
with her on this earth. She died of those
last cruel words you gave her, and went
to her long home in Greenwood, more
than four years ago."
John Fielding passed down the aisle,
and Verne saw him leave the hall with
a host of friends and admirers following
and congratulating him, and Maud, hap
py and smiling, leaning upon his arm.
Verne stood alone where his brother
had left him. Rich in this worlds
goods, yet utterly forsaken and alone
The one bright hope of his life had that
night been rudely destroyed. Mocking
memories of lost love haunted him
and tardy remorse was gnawing at his
heart-string, nevermore to cease until
he, too, should follow his heart broken
mother to her last rest.

Wisdom for Girls.

1t seems nowadays as though young
girls are anxious to hurry through their
girlhood and get to be women. To such
as these the good Bishop Morris gives
the following kind, sensible and Chris
tian advice
"Wait patiently, my children. Go not
after your womanhood, let it come to
you. Keep out of the public view
Cultivate refinement and modesty. The
cares and responsibilities of life will be
soon enough. When they come you
will meet them, trust,as true woman
should. But oh be not so unwise as to
throw away your girlhood. Rob not
yourself of this beautiful season, which,
wisely spent, will brighten all your fu-
ture life.''

That Good Dog, lack.

COME dogs, in their love and affection
- for their masters, having at times
equaled human beings in their constan-
cy, and even surpassed them in the mar
velous intelligence with which they
foresee and avert approaching danger.
The following example, related to us by
one of the ladies of the story, may prove
interesting. Two girls, daughters of an
English country doctor, were once out
for walk together. 1t was an autumn
afternoon, sunny and pleasant. They
were accompanied by their little dog,
named Jack, who was clever little ter
rier, and more than once had proved his
claim to be considered, as indeed he
was, their protector while out walking.
Their father often said he felt "qulte
happy when Jack was with them he
was sure no harm could come to them"
The two girls persued their walk mer-
rily. The fine afternoon tempted them
to go further then they ought, however,
and by the time they turned the dusk
had fallen, and they were afraid they
would be late for tea. One of them pro-
posed to take q short cut through
wood with which they were well
acquainted having often gathered black
berries in it on summer afternoon.
The other agreed, and SO they arrived
at the edge of the wood and prepared to
enter it. "All the same Pm afraid"
said Dora, the younger of the two;
"there have been several robberies in
the neighborhood, and / saw some very
odd looking men pass our door to-day
besides L am wearing my new watch,
which papa gave me on my birthday"
"Oh, non sense" her sister replied.
cit is nearly six oclok now; and we
shall be late. Be sure no one will wish
to harm u.s." II wish was as certain
as you are. But what's the matter with
Jack 2" Just as she had said this Jack
advanced toward them, and planted
himself in the middle of their path, sat
down and whined. "That is odd" said
Dora. 81 never remember him doing
| that before.' The other girl derided
her fears, and attempted to pass the dog;
but he caught her dress in his teeth, and
held her so firmly that she hardly dared
| to set herself free. One more effort she
made, but Jack was resolute; SO at last
seeing how determined he was to pre-
vent their further progress, she gave up
trying. "Well, well, you stupid little
brute," she said angrily, "I suppose we
must go that long way round" So the
two sisters abandoned the idea of taking
the short path through the wood, and
went home by the safe high road.
When they arrived, how grateful, how
unutterably thankful did they feel to
their little protector, whose intelligence
had been SO far superior to theirs, and
had saved them despite themselves. A
man had been found in the wood shortly
after they had left it, murdered and rob-
bed, il was conjectured by the tramps
who had passed through the village in
the morning. Thus Jack had preserved
his mistresses from meeting perhaps q
similar fate. Their gratitude, it is need
less to add, was profound toward their
little four-footed protector, who, we are
glad to hear, lived to a good old age
