John Randolph. Romance.

In his. strange and passionate youth, John
Randolph was betrothed to Miss Maria
Ward, the daughter of his mothers intimate
friend. For some cause the engagement was
broken of. The lovers appear to have had a
desperate quarrel. and Mr.. Randolph rushed
out of the house in which he had been Wis
iting the lady in such a rage that he did not
even stop to unite his horses bridle-reins, but
slashed them through with his knife, mount
ed, and rode away in laundering gallop
The lovers scarcely ever saw each other
again. The lady became Mrs. Peyton Ran
dolph. John Randolph never married. To
the day of her death he spoke of her as "My
angel" and her marriage is said to have
been the heaviest blow this grievously-suffer-
ing man ever endured. He was sick all his
life, and sometimes in a feverish sleep he
used to mutter her name in the hearing of
the watchers about his bed. 1t was strange,
heart-breaking romance that of this quiver-
ing bundle of nerves, who was the lineal
descendant of Pocahontas.

Ladies who like otto of roses as perfume,
can make it in any reasonable quantity de-
sired at an almost nominal expense, by sav-
ing up the rose leaves which fall SO plentifully
in their season of the year. Take two-gal-
lon glass jar, and fill it full of clean, freshly
picked rose leaves. Then cork it tight, and
take two-ounce vial, and ft the neck into
the cork of the two-gallou jar. Cut some
sponge into narrow strips; soak them in good
oil, free from smell or rancidity; put the strips

heat will distil the rose leaves, and the aroma
will ascend and saturate the oil IN the sponge.
Put in fresh leaves about four times, and you
will have small vial of the finest otto Of

A Hint to Boys.

A philosopher has said that the true edu-
cation for boys is to teach them what they
ought to know when they become men.
What is it they ought to know then?
l. To be true; to be genuine. No educa-
ton will be worth anything that does not in
clude this. A man had better not know
how to read-he had better never learn a
letter in the alphabet, and be true and genu-
inc in intention and action, rather than be-
ing learned in all sciences and in all Ian
guages, to be at the same time false at heart
and also counterfeit in life. Above all
things teach the boys that truth is more
than riches, more than culture, more than
earthly power or position.
2. To be true in thought language and
life-pure in mind and in body An impure
man, young or old, poisons the society where
he moves with smutty stories and impure
example, is moral ulcer, plague spot, a
leper who ought to be treated as were the
lepers of old, who were banished from soci-
ETY. and compelled to cry 'Unclean," as a
warning to save others from the pestilence
g. To be unselfsh. To care for the feel
ings and comforts of others. To be polite
To be Just in all dealings with others. To
be generous, noble and manly. This will
include genuine reverence for the aged and
things sacred.
4. To be self-reliant and self-helpful ever
from childhood. To be industrious always
and self supporting at the earliest proper
age. Teach them that all honest work i:
honorable, and that an idle useless life o.
dependence on Others IS disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these things
when he has made these ideas part of his be
ing, however young he may be, however
poor, or however rich, he has learned some
of the.important things he ought to know
when he becomes man. With these foul
properly mastered, it will be easy to find al
the rest

Where Do They Go. Indeede
Correspondents New York World.

SIk: am a woman. am married wo-
man. have been to the theater with my
beloved husband 10 times during the present
season. We have seen Hamlet" French
Flats" "Pinafore," "Wives"-I was in hope
this would do my husband some good, but it
didn't-and, in fact, everything worth seeing.
On each one of the occasions upon which DC 1
companied my beloved husband to the theater
he left me- Don't understand me to say that
he left me for good. tNo, no, no; I DON'T
mean that, for of course he didn't leave me
for bad; he is one of the best husbands in the
world-what mean is, he did'not leave me
permanently How stupid / am; if he had
lef. me permanently once how could he have
taken me the second time? Well, well, l
confess 1 am not accustomed to write for the
press and / am a little fustered. 1t was awk-
ward not to be able to ask the aid of my be-
loved husband, who usually assists me in such
matters.
In word, what Iwant to find out is
simply this: Why does my husband-why
do the husbands of the women who sit all
around me at me at the theater-go out be-
tween. the acts? Where do they go? What
do they do when they go out? Ny husband
says he is going to..stretch his legs" That
appears.to me . most needless performance,
since he has an awkward habit of stretching
his legs1 during the performance. He is
gifted with long legs, is my beloved husband
and he has, to my positive knowledge during
the present season, brought anathemas upon
his head by disturbing and upsetting the
hats of gentlemen occupying the seats i'm
mediately in front of ours. My husband
does not go out between he acts for the pur-
pose of stretching his legs. Why, then, does
he go? Please. Mr.. Editor, answer this be-
seeching inquiry. There are hundreds of
women in New York who are eagerly and
impatiently waiting for the problem to be
solved ~

Home Politeness.

That man who is scrupoulously polite and
respectful to all women in public, but habit
ually saves coarse manners aud vulgar Ian
guage for his own wife and daughters, is no
gentleman. He is only an impostor. The
young man who oils his hair, puts sweet
ordors upon his pocket-handkerchief, and
bows with charming elegance to Miss Ara
bella Spriggins and lady friends, and goes
home to sneer at his mother, disobey her
wishes and treat her with familiar discourtesy,
is a pinchbeck imitation only of gentleman.
Genuine good manners and gentle breeding
should begin at home. AS rule, the best
men in the community are the best men at
home

AT PARTING.

Take not 30 soon those lips away,
Those lips whose clinging touch to mine
IL sweeter far than spring-t time fowere,
And dewier than fhe rare old wine.
No other thought 90 blessed IL
As this: that you are all my own,
Though darksome days the future brings,
z This rainbow promise shall hold.
Tho hands must part their fondest clasp,
And lips their clinging touch dissever,
The hearts that love and fondly trust
Through time and space shall cling forever
So let our parting lingering be,
And while too full for sught to say,
o! let ne hold you fast awhile,
And take not yet those lips away.

The Athol Transcript vouches for the fol-
lowing inscription upon a tombstone just
put up in the Pelham cemetery by the
brother of the deceased. the name appearing
in full:
W c. died by arsenic poison, March o, 1850,

Therefore y proposition was introduced in Synod
asking tho next Assembly 10 modify its last

that newspapers proclaimed that tho Assembly

Misrepresentation of tho Asscmby's action.
Tho Assembly has condemned dancing time and

claiming that it calls for extreme action, even to

arc in favor Of milder treatment, such as admo-
milton and entrcaty. When therefore tho world
