A Romance.

WHO says that the days Of romance
w are ended, needs to read the strange
history Of Scottish ploughman who
has returned to his native heath after O
long exile. Twenty years ago farmer
in Orkney hired young man to do farm
work. The ploughman touched the
fancy Of his masters daughter, and the
result was that in runaway fashion,
and in opposition to the will of the
patriarchal farmer, the two became man
and wife.
The old gentleman was furious, and
turned his back decidedly upon his SON
ln-law. The young ploughman kissed
his wife, left her fathers farm and sailed
to Australia, whence he soon ceased to
write. His wife became mother, and
remained in state of such wretched
suspense that her father began to repent
of the treatment to which he had sub
jected her husband. Efforts were then
made to trace the whereabouts of the
latter by means of advertising in Colo
nial papers and otherwise, but all to no
purpose. He had gone to America
Years passed. The grandson grew up to
manhood, and not liking farm-work, he
bade adieu to Orkney, took ship last year
to the United States, and, after some
knocking about, found employment in
mercantile house in Illinois. In the
course of business he discovered that the
gentleman at the head of the firm, was
q native of Scotland, hailing, indeed,
from the same district as himself. Oc-
casional meetings led to more minute in
quiries as to dates, names of places, per-
sons and the like in the old country and
after being six months in the establish
ment, the youth found-however won
derful it may appear-that he was actu-
ally serving as a clerk with no other
than his own father. The effect of this
discovery on both may be left to the inn
ination of the reader. Father and son
are now both in Scotland. The man
who went away penniless ploughbOy
but returns rich has been welcomed with
much emotion by his venerable father
in-law, who is still hale and hardy, as
well as by the wife whom he left many
years ago in her youth and beauty, but
is now a middle-aged matron.

WomanIy Modesty.


Man loves the mysterious. A cloud
less sky and the full blown rose leave
him unmoved; but the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind the
bush, and the moon when emerging
from behind cloud, are to him sources
of inspiration and of pleasure. Modesty
is TO merit what shade is to figure in
painting-it gives boldness and prom
inence.
Nothing adds more to female beauty
than modesty. 1t sheds around the
countenance a halo of light which is
borrowed from virtue. BOtanists have
given the rosy hue which tinges the cup
of the white roses the name of maiden
blush" This pure and delicate hue is
the only paint Christian virgins should
use it Is the richest ornament. A wo-
man without modesty is like faded
flower diff using an unwholesome odor,
which the prudent gardener will throw
from him. Her destiny is melancholy,
for it terminates in shame and repent
ance. Beauty passes like the flowers of
the albe, which bloom and die in a few
hours; but modesty gives the female
charms, which supply the place of the
transitory freshness of youth.

Professor Knapp's Terrible Prediction.

A STRONOMERS are looking forward
"A to the coming year with consider
able perplexity, believing that the year
1880 will bring with it the most wide
spread and dreadful calamities that have
been known for over two thousand
years.
To explain THE sun is the centre of
our solar system around the sun re-
volve number of planets, and among
them is the earth. The are certain pc
riods when these planets approach
nearest the sun. These periods are
noted for general calamities, for the pc
culiar relation the planets sustain to
each other produces serious disturbances
in the atmosphere, thus causing terrible
rains, or prolonged drouths, famines,
diseases and pestilence generally.
Soon after 1880, four of the larger
planets will be at their nearest approach
to the sun, something that has not hap
pened for two thousand years. We are
rapidly approaching that period, and al
ready the distant rumblings would seem
to indicate that the storm is approach
ing. One of our exchanges says: The
fact that so many fish are dying off the
coast of Florida calls to mind the awful
prediction of Professor Knapp. From
the juxtaposition of certain planets to
our earth, he predicts that one half of
the population of the world, including
man and animals and even vegetable
life, will perish before 1880. In a lee
ture delivered several years ago he said
that this desolation would commence by
the fish of the sea dying, and pestilence
and famine occurring in more southern
latitude"
The famines in China and Brazil, the
scouIge in South America, the black and
fatal plague that is almost depopulating
certain parts of Asia, as well as the pes
thence among the fish in the Southern
waters look like so many steps in the
fulfillment of the dreadful prophecy. 1t
looks much like the fulfilling of the
prophecy uttered by the Savior, and re-
corded in Luke 81: 25, %: ''And there
shall be signs in the sun, and In the
moon, and in the stars; and upon the
earth distress of nations, with perplexi-
ty; the sea and the waves roaring /;
mems hearts failing them for fear, and
for looking after these things which are
coming on the earth; for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken"
The prophecies are fast fulfilling; the

A School Anecdote.

A MONG the scholars when Lamb and
IA Coleridge attended school, was a
poor clergyman's son, of the name of
Simon Jennings. On account of his
dismal gloomy nature, his playmates
had nick-named him "Pontius Plate"
One morning he went up to the master,
Doctor Bozer, and said in his usual
whimpering manner:
"Please, Doctor, the boys call me
'Pontius PLATE.
If there was one thing which Doctor
Bozer hated more than a false quantity
of Greek and Latin, it was the practice
of nick-naming. Rushing down among
the scholars from his pedestal of state,
with cane in hand, be cried with his
usual voice of thunder;

ARE ANIMALS IMMORTAL ?

A BROOKLYN gentleman writing to
IA New York paper suggests some
very curious and interesting thoughts
concerning the possible future of ami
mails. When we come to think of it O
state of existence in which there is no
animal life save man would be marked
contrast to earthly existence. To i'm
agine Heaven without the sweet songs
of birds, the busy hum of the bee and
the myriad of sweet sounds that fall so
soothingly upon the ear in the hush of a
summer eve, is to imagine state of ex-
istence of which much of the pos
sible pleasure would be left out.
Are there no trees in Heaven ? Is
the murmuring brook and the gentle
plash of fountains silent =? Is there
nothing but man and God in Heaven
The untutored Indian reasons different
ly. To him the land of the Great Spirit
teens with myrlads of animal life. To
him Heaven is a happy hunting
ground. y May not the Indian notion be
right after all, and Heaven be place
filed with all sorts of animal life which
are pleasant and agreeable to manY Of
course, these are hard questions to an
swer satisfactorily, but hear what the
writer has to say;
Why should we be called upon to be-
lieve in the annihilation of the brute
creation at death Is not the idea a
relic Of an unworthy and now fast van
ing conception of the future state of

The Beauty of Neatness.

A woman may be handsome, or re-
markably active in various ways; but
if she is not personally neat, she cannot
hope to win admiration. Fine clothes
will not conceal the slattern. A young
woman with her hair always in disor-
der, and her clothes hanging about her
as il suspended from prop, Is always
repulsive. Slattern is written upon her
person from the crown of her head to
the soles of her feet, and if she wins
husband he turns out, in all probability,
either to be an idle fool or a drunken
ruffian. The bringing up of daughters
to be able to work, talk, and act like
honest, sensible young women, Is the
special task of all mothers, and in the
industrial ranks there is imposed also
the prime obligations of learning to re-
spect household work for its own sake,
and the comfort and happiness it will
bring in the future. Housework is drudg-
cry but 1t must be done by somebody,
and had better be well than i'll done.
