A Lady GOdiVa.

On Sunday morning, says the SYRIA
cuse Journal, about 2 o'clock, Patrolman
Sheppard was surprised by the appear
ance on East Genessee street of a
ghostly apparition, which seemed to be
walking the said officers beat Seeking
a favorable position, the officer awaited
the near approach of the woman in
white. As the white clad figure was
opposite to the officer he jumped out,
and on Selling the white robed figure he
was startled by a terrific scream, and
found he had, not an escaped occupant
of some charnel house, but woman of
flesh and blood. An investigation
showed that Annie M. Sterling, residing
on the corner of Madison and Mulberry
streets, was indulging in a sonambulistic
stroll, she having left her bed, clad only
in her night-dress, in which she had un-
consciously started on a tour of the
city. She was taken to the police
Office, where she was furnished with q
pair of shoes, and policeman's over
coat thrown around her, in which cos
tune she WAS escorted to her home by
Officer Sheppard.

The Literary Ladder.

w. D. Howells, editor of the Atlantic
Monthly, lives at Belmont, near Boston.
He does most of his magazine work at
home in his study, but is at the Office of
the publishers in Boston one day in
every week. In his own house the
morning is almost invariably spent in
writing, the afternoon, and sometimes
the evening, being reserved for editorial
tasks. Although one may find him with
pen in hand at almost any time of day,
he almost stops aud talks agreeably to
visitors. When the volume on venetian
Life" that began his fame was ready,
he offered it to the Atlantic Monthly,
then edited by James T. Fields, and Mr..
Fields rejected it. 1t was then published
in the columns of Boston daily news
paper, under the guise of letters, and
speedily made an audience for itself.

In his new book, "Rough Ways
Made Smooth" Prof. Proctor devotes a
chapter to the relations between sun
spots and commercial panics. He seems
to regard the sun as the ultimate source
of all forms of terrestrial energy, and as
egulating in special ma inner the pro-
ress of mundane events.

A Rspublioan form Of Government is

A Republican form Of Government is
not OOmplete until the people them
selves directly elect their Ofices either
State or County, and hence the en-
phatic declar s,ions Of the Republicans
of Delaware that they are In favor OIL
sil county Offices teirg els,'ed by the
people and . reduction Of the pay o.
such oiaces to reasonable compensation
Already the people elect Coroner and
q Sheriff. Where is the consistency Of
referring tie election Of these two
officials to the people and yet with
bold from them the choice Of Register,
Recorder, Prothonotsry, Clerk Of the
Peace and Clerk OF the Orphans Court
The Republican party Of Delaware Ia
In favor Of the people choosing theii
own officers.
The fourth declaration Of principles
is one in hearty accord with the ad
vanced spirit Of the age. 1t emphatic
ally declares against q freehold qualifi'
cation for holding office. This article
says the man and not the soil should
be recognized in the election franchise
The fifth section declares in favor OF
more liberal exemption law, and
against the attachment Of wages for

Democratic party has passed and sup

in the same section the administration
by the Levy courts Of the several cour
ties are declared to be in derogation o.
the rights OF freemsn and the action o.

The platform Is somewhat lengthy
and yet it is comprehensive and clear
There are SO many grievances Of whioi

Delaware that we do not see how they
could have been made shorter. They
should and no doubt will receive
hearty endorsement from the people o
Delaware. The principles Of them IL

Sweet bird with velvet p1n,on,
Sweet bird with golden breast
That glinted,past me, winging
Up to thy woven nest!
l was not looking upward
To earth my eyes were turned
When through the summer-woodland
Thy sudden beauty burned.
And on the sward noted
A shadow-nothing more
Slipping along the sunshine
That fecked the forest-hoor,
TIL, lifting up my glances,
/ saw thy charms confessed,
Sweet bird of velvet pinion,
Sweet bird Of golden breast
And in that quiet moment
A truth sank in my heart
That books and masters taught me
vainly with weary art
That each event is varied
AS each event is viewed
A shadow or a singing bird
Loss or beatitude.

Etiquette for Boys and Girls.

Nothing can be greater mark OF i'll
manners than to remain sitting while
your elder is standing before you talk
ing to you. Rise and offer your seat OF
another at once, and never lounge on
the sofa or take the easiest chair, while
there are those in the room whose age
gives them better claim to them. And
always be polite, respectful and modest
in your demeanor to every one, es-
pecially TO your superiors. remember
ing also. that there is nothing more dis
gusting than to see young people as
sumo an air of self-importance and dis
respect towards any one.
Never stare people in the face. Ii
you are talking with any one, 1t Is
proper to look at them-eye to eye
with cheerful. dignified assurance
but to stare at any one, as though you
saw something peculiar about him, is
exceedingly rude and impolite.
Do not cultivate clownish or monkey
ish manners. We have seen rude boys
and even girls, who seemed to take
pride in antic gestures, foolish testing,
buffoonery, or what is styled ' droll-
cry" and who took great delight In
using odd expressions, thinking that
it made them appear interesting to the
lookers-on. Such behavior may excite
the laughter of the foolish, as the wise
men tell us:
For the mouth Of fools feede.h on foolishness.'
but every sensible persons regards such
conduct with disgust and adherence.
And every youth who thus acts the buf-
foon lowers himself in the opinion of
those with whom he desires to stand
high. Be gentle and quiet in your
movements.
If you are young man just com
mencing business career, good man
ners will be Indispensable to your sue
cess. Appear to feel an interest in your
work /; let your eyes light up at every
command, and let your feet bs nimble
to perform it. There are boys who
look so dull and heavy, and walk so
slowly, and appear SO lazy, that no
business man will employ them.
Be energetic, prompt, industrious
and careful. Attend to your business,
in quiet, polite manner, equally re-
moved from familiarity and haughti-
ness. If you exhibit good manners
yourself, you will rarely have cause to
complain of rudeness. And if our
your friends would only remember what
Lear said while hanging over Cordella's
dead body, it would help them to put
far from them loud and boisterous man
ners
Her voice was ever sweet,
Gentle and low; an excellent thing in wo
man"

Impulsive People.

Impulsive people have certain force
and enthusiasm about them, which
cooler and more calculating people
sometimes lack. Their danger is, that
they are prone to act and speak hastily,
without due consideration, and that
they, therefore, must sometimes repent
at leisure. Esau, who, with all his
faults, wins us more than his craftier
brother, was an impulsive man, and
yielding to masterful but foolish i'm
pulse, he sold his oirthright, and
thenceforth found no place for repen-
tance, though he sought it carefully
with tears. How many others are there
who have done the same thing!--brave,
gallant youths, who go from their
homes meaning to live as they have
been trained by good parents, but who
yield to the lures of the tempter, and
fall; beautiful girls. who rashly listen
to the fattering tongues, or are inflated
with vanity, and who marry, against
the advice of loving friends, only to
enter on lives of misery. There are
plenty of men and women in the world
to-day who follow Esau's example, and
at the very beginning of the race, sell
or lose their birthright.
But there are noble as we'll as sordid
influences in the world, and the people
who are generously and bravely i'm
pulsive are worthy of all honor. II
was such man who, seeing his COM
rades run, panic-stricken, from the
field of battle, seized standard and
exclaimed, as he waved it in his right
hand, "Soldiers. you may fly If you
will, but the flag cannot go with you'll!
He stayed the rout; his men charged
gallantly on the opposing lines, and
disaster was turned to victory. Such
impulses lead brave men to go to the
relief of those in peril, to spring into
the waves after the drowning, and to
risk life and limb wherever it may be
necessary, that others may be saved.
There is one sort of impulsiveness
which often gets people into serious
trouble. We are fretted and vexed at
the acts of somebody else, and we dc
not wait to think. but say out our irri.
tation, and wound deeply some sensi-
tive spirit. We are angry, and we let
passion rule us instead of calm refec.
ton. The impulsive person who can
not control his temper is like one who
carries fire near gunpowder.-Chris.
