Love Making Among the Chinese.


The contrast between love-mak-
ing among the Chinese and the
western nations is described in the
London Saturday Review as follows !:
With Cinnamon it is delirium,
a rapture, based on no regard for
the moral qualities of the objects of
their admiration, but purely and
simply on a desire to possess them.
They do not understand the idea of
friendship in love, and the notion
of an mountaineering ripening
into affection is altogether foreign
to them. If a young Chinaman
falls in love, it must needs be after
the manner of Wang, who is so en-
raptured with the beauty Of a
young lady he casually meets on
the road, that he goes home and
takes To his bed, and is restored TO
health only by AN introduction to
the fair one, whom at his first in
terview he addresses in language
which is quite untranslatable into
English. OF course we do not
mean to say that it never happens
that young people in poorer ranks
of life (for 1t is only among such
that prenuptial acqusintanceships
are generally permitted) entertain a
genuine affection for each other;
but, speaking broadly, love among
suitors is unknown in China, and
the constitution of society makes it
impossible that it should be other
wise.

GREAT MEN,
Why it is They Sometimes Marry
Noodles.

The weaknesses of great men
have been the cause Of many artl-
Giles for very many years, and it Is
true that great men have never
ceased to have their weaknesses pa
raded. Perhaps this is because,
the eyes of SO many people being
upon them, their peccadilloes be-
come worth while talking about.
They are only human. The great
man must eat and sleep like other
men, and perhaps it is only in one
or Two specialities chat he can claim
10 be better than his servant. The
man who is called tall is only few
inches higher than the man who is
called short. Measure the distance
on tape line and it appears very
little. 1t is nonsense for other peo-
pie with weaknesses to claim that
the great men should have none.
1t is a well known fact that very
many women of strong character
may be courted by half dozen
men of strong character without be-
ing captured, while suddenly weak
ling, a mere shrimp of a man, will
come along and take away the
prize-rather, she picks him up1ike
a baby and carries him through lite.
So u great man will often be con-
demned for marrying q silly nonen
ity OF a woman. From Socrates
down to Dickens many men of great
character have been accused of hav
ing wives who have not been wor
thy of them. But the great man
does not make his grand speeches
to his wife; he makes them to the
public; and when he has ended his
peroration and bowed his thanks
for the cheers, the public has moth
ing more to do with him
He probably loves his silly little
wife as dearly as you love your silly
little wife. His greatness ends
With the rostrum, and he goes
home, as well as any other man, to
have his stockings darned, his shad
broiled, and his shaving water pre-
pared by his silly wife. just as you
do, sir. If ne had married a wo-
man of what you call "great char
acter" or ''strong character" he
might be utterly miserable, for she
would find fault with his weakness,
would be writing poetry while he
damned the shirt buttons which he
couldn't sew on, and would send
him off supperless to make another
grand speech. He would take a
big bottle before making it, and,
for want of a broiled chop and a
shirt button, the world would have
a great grafton.

A Joke on a Clergyman.

Biblica! scholars are sometimes
sadly entrapred. In a little town
of Bavaria the other day sat an
aged fraulein and her father confes-
sor, who was, at least supposed to
know the bible by heart. The
fraulein enjoyed a practical joke
in spite OF her age; and the reve-
rend father, although thoroughly
pious man, was not a whit behind
her. Indeed, it may be said both
o: the Catholic and Protestant
clergy that they are a thoroughly
geaial class of men. There is
nothing in the sacred profession
which interdicts a good wholesome
laugh. and nothing which ought to
make a man so sad that he can see
only the gloomy and cloudy side
of life. Our fraulein said: "Fa-
Their, you may have heard that
some of the persistent explorers In
the Holy Land have just discovered
huge heap of bones which are
supposed, on pretty good authority,
to be those OF the children which
Herod killed" ''Ah, indeed" re
piled the pateT, thoroughly interes
ted, II had not heard of it."
"Yes" continued the fraulein,
land strange TO say, nearly half the
bones were white as the snow of |
the Alps, while the rest were al
most as black as ebony." ''Well, |
wellr' exclaimed the good priest,
that is certainly very remarkable"
"And the problem to be solved
is" continued the fraulein' "wheth-
er the white bones belonged to the
girls, and the black ones TO the
boys, or vice versa The explorers
we're greatly vexed by the matter
md could arrive at no satisfactory
conclusion. Now, what do you
blink: father" ''Oh," wittily re-
oiaed the priest, "of course the
Hack bones belonged to the girl
'abies, and the white ones to the
10Y babies" We ask the same
question of our readers, and they

The Inn ocence Of Dancing.

A noted author, in late work,
speaks as follows on the morality
of dancing: Another distinct and
stringent law of God and nature is
recreation. OF the many kinds
that are afoat, we are obliged to
use care in our choice. What
would Christ approve? What is
best? we ask. What relaxes with
out weakening, is cheerful without
frivolity, and offers attraction with
out danger? Not to the exclusion
OF other things. our election has
fallen on the dance; a species of re
creation enjoined in the Old Tesla
ment and recognized in the New;
one practiced in all countries and
recommended by the sanction of
the best and greatest of men. 1t
has music and beauty for its garni
ture and strength. Its intrinsic
value has won for it the approval
of all. We sometimes dance on the
green grass, sometimes in our hall.
1t is enjoyed in all families. Pa
rents dance with their children,
husbands with their wives. 1t
has supplanted many ridiculous
game, and extirpated cruel sports.
IL has broken up drunken csrous-
ais, and neltralized the Jempta |
tlons TO ardent spirits. Whatever

FromIa Coronet to a Crown.

In accepting the ducal coronet
at New Orleans, Grant said: 81
have been frequently charged with
an attempt to seize upon higher
title" Then he does read the
newspapers and he does know that
Americans are on guard. This is
well. 1t may keep him from an at
tempt to "seize" the higher title
which the managers have planned
for him. The motive of his indeli
cate reference to the conspiracy is
easily understood. He wishes to
make a carnival joke of the thing
and laugh it off. The grim jest
and pious protestation are familiar
weapons with tyrants and rsurpers.
Nero fiddled while Rome was burn
ing. Augustus protested against
the honors which the Roman sen
ate was heaping upon him-at his
own secret solicitation and com
mand-while he was sapping the
republic and making himself mas
ter of an empire. The two Napo
Icons protested undying devotion
to the republic while they were set
ting up al empire. The game is
old-very old-and it is the deliber-
ate conviction of Americans that it
is played out.

Nashville American: Below will
be found a statement of the exist
ing debt of Tennessee, taken from
official sources, which shows that
the bonds issued by Governor John
G. Browns administration were not
for railroads nor for war interest,
but were used to renew bonds which
were part of what is called the
state debt proper, which had be
come due, and for Legitimate inter
est which had become due between
1868 and 1873. This statement
also shows that the state debt prop
er. as it is called, which was origi-
nally S6,4S1 900, has been reduced
to $2,1O5,O00. Much of this reduc.
ton has been caused by the rail
road companies buying these bonds
and returning them into the state
treasury:

Young Men and Marriage,

want to say few words to
young men who are in love, or
about falling in love, and possibly
of getting married. You think it
is very pleasa-t to spend your
evenings with some pretty girl.
You are proud OF her when you es
cort her TO the theatre or Il party,
and see the admiration she eXcites,
and you fohdly hope to make her
your own, without rejecting on the
price you must pay for it Do you
know what the majority of women
expect from their husbands? A
constant and never failing attention
and admiration, and actual keeping
of all the VOWS they have made
them. A fondness for bone and
their society, also the trifling items
of well filed market baskets and
reasonably large bills with their
milliners and mantua makers. If
you are sure you can fill the bill, 90
ahead and get married, onl y make
up your mind beforehand to be GER
tain that you will be pleased with
Tie same SOTJ Oh WIIe at thirty I'VE
that took your fancy at twenty one.
Try and remembe that it Is much
easier to get married than to get
free, and that some Of your fine CT
CARS and fancy neckJies must be
sacrificed as the years advance. If
you marry a good wife, and cannot
support her comfortably, your heart |
will be wrung with her enforced pri
vation. If you marry bad wife
under the same circumstances, she
will have you caught and Gagged in
MOyamensing, and be milestone
around your neck until the end of
your days. The more romaLti tic a
girl nay be, the surer you may be of
ne fact that she will expect you to
De sound on the financial ques-
ion, so take my advice and defer

LADIES COLUMN.
Written for the CITIZEN.
The Duty Of Mothers.
BY BETTIE AIAUpE COOK.


Our brains are seventy year clocks.
The Angel of Life winds them up once
for all, then closes the case and gives
the key into the hand ofthe Angel of the
resurrection.-[O w. Homes.
Do any of US fold our hands and
think of this? Do we realize that
when our seventy year clocks" are
wound up, that the wonderful ma
chInery remains unmolested until
Azrael puts the key into locks
which have alas! too often become
rusty from want Of proper atten-
ton, and opens up the creaking
doors of our brains to see how well
we have preserved our birth-right-
are we then weighed in the bal
lance and found wanting? God for
bidi
Life is made up OF little things,
and if we give to each tiny wheel
of our clocks its full share of the
oil of Christianity, there will be no
rusty hinges. Free agents we are,
holding our lives II our own hands,
we can make them beautiful or
homely, as we like; our hearts act
by the dictation of our brains, SO
we should exert every effort to
keep them free from the dust and
cob webs which too often accumu
late upon those wonderful organs.
Woman especially should endeav-
or to keep these "seventy-year
clocks" polished and beautiful, for
through them the world is
made better or worse. They are
not angels certainly, and yet those
delicate hands which seem only
made 10 wear rich jewels, are ca
pable of guiding strong men where
they will; the refining influence of
good woman civilizes and enlight-
ems a nation as nothing else will,
and in those countries where they
are looked upon as mere slaves and
interiors to men, you will in every
instance find barbarism and pagan
ism.
That old Morse King was not SO
far wrong who when asked his re-
ligion replied "Ask my wife, our
women are nearer to God than we
men," They ought to be, for to
them is entrusted the rearing ofour
future statesmen; around them the
first impressions are made upon the
youthful minds, and if they are
evil, whose fault is it? Those
clocks are small, but remember
they are wound up for a lifetime,
and the Angel of the Resurrection
has the key, it is left to the mothers
to see that they are kept il
perfect order until the little ones
are old enough to polish the ma
chinery themselves. Mothers, think
of this, do your duty faithfully, new
er mind if the little clocks do re-
quire a great amount of time and
trouble, you will be fully repaid
when Azrael demands the keys
from the Angel of the Resurrection
and shows to the Father the ma
,hinery all polished and bright,
proving conclusively the faithful
,ares of the mother.

Triad Brains

Many persons actually believe
that the performance of much brain
labor worries the brain. Now, it is
a pathological fact that about seven
Fights of the brain is composed OF
water. The whole is a mass OF
nervous convolutions, soft and sap
Ply. The molecules of the brain
actually float In water, and being
entirely free from friction, it fol
lows that the organs of mind are
likewise free from friction, which
makes it a physical impossibility
tor the mind to tire.
The organs of sense are the me
dunn through which thought is con-
veyed to the brain. These may be
impaired; the liver may become in
active, and the bodily organs cease
to- perform their functions, and
then the brain ceases to act, not
because it is tired, but simply be-
cause the avenues OF thought are
cut off. Brain labor, instead of
impairing the brain, is so much
food necessary to give it greater
strength and expansive power. 1t
is not the bread and meat we eat
which gives volume to the brain,
but it is the amount of thoughts we
digest.

il to nutshell the whole truth as
to recreation: All things are law
full for me, but all things are not
expedient.........Ail thing edify not.
That which is pleasure merely, Is

The Fastest Engine in the World

Inc Reading railroad has just
built a passenger engine for the
Bound Brooke route between New
York and Philadelphia which Is togo
the distance in an hour and half,
or ninety miles in ninety minutes.
The quickest regular train time
heretofore has been two hours,
which was regarded as very rapid
The new engine has the largest
pair of driving-wheels, perhaps, Of
any passenger locomotive in this
country, the wheels being six and
half feet in diameter. The ordIna
ry driving wheel OF passenger en-
gines has a diameter of from five
to five and half feet. The new
engine is different in other res
poets, also having but one pair of
driving wheels in stead OF two addi-
tional smaller ones, as is the usual
custom. 1t is also much heavier
than the regular passenger engine;
It's weight is about $4,000 pounds,
while the ordinary engine weighs
from 10000 to $4,000 pounds. 1t
is expected TO make the entire dis
lance to New York without stop
ping to take water.

who Struck Billy Patterson

A correspondent Of the Carnes-
vile (Ga.) Register, who is writing
series of Historical sketches,
"reminiscences and legends" gives
the following explah alton as to the
origin of the above query.
Many persons have heard the
question, "Wko struck Billy Patter-
sonY' without knowing the origin
of it. l propose to enlightcn them
little on the subject. William
Patterson was a wealthy tredesman
or merchant Of Baltimore, in the
State of Maryland. In the early
days of Franklin county he bought
up a great many tracts of land in
the county, and spent a good por-
ton of his time in Franklin look
ing after his interest there. He
was said to be as strong as a bear
and as brave as lion; but, like all
brave men he was lover of peace,
and indeed a pious man. Never
theless his wrath could be excited
to fighting pitch. On one occa-
sion he attended public gathering
in the lower psrt of Franklin coun-
ty, at some district court ground.
During the day the two opposing
DULLES and their friends raised a
row, and a general fight was the
consequence.
AT the beginning of the affray,
before the lighting began. Billy Pas
tersun ran into the crowd TO pur-
suade them not to fight, but to
make peace and be friends. But
his efforts for peace were unavail-
ing, and while making them, some
of the crowd in the general melee
struck Billy Patterson a severe
blow from behind. Billy at once
became fighting mad, and cried out
At the top of his voice, who
struck Billy Patterson" No one
could or would tell him who was
,he guilty party. He then pro-
posed to give any man a hundred
dollars who would tell him who
struck Billy Patterson" From a
hundred dollars he rose to a thous
md dollars. But not a thousand
dollars would induce any man to
ell him "Who struck Billy Patter
'on." And after years, in his will
lie related the above fact, and be-
lueathed one thousand dollars, to
De paid b, his executors, to the
nan that would tell them "Who

Newly-Marrisd Couples.

1t Is the happiest and most virtu-
Gus state of society in which the
husband and wife set out together,
and, with perfect sympathy OF soul,
graduate all their expenses, plans,
calculations and desires with refer
ence to their present means and to
their future and common interest.
Nothing delights man more than
to enter the neat little tenement of
the young people who within per
haps two or three years, without
any resources but their own knOwl-
edge of industry, have joined heart
and hand, and engaged to share to
gether tie sponsibilities, duties,
interests, trials and pleasures Of
life. The industrious wife is cheer
fully employing her hands in do
mestIc duties, putting her house In
order or mending her husbands
clothes, or preparing dinner, while
perhaps the little darling sits pratt
Ting on the floor or lies sleeping in
the cradle, and everything seems
preparing to welcome the happiest
of husbands and the best Of fathers
when he shall come home from his
toll to enjoy the sweets of his little
paradise.
This is true domestic pleasure.
Health, contentment, love, abun
dance and bright prospects are all
here. But it has become a preva-
lent sentiment that a man must
acquire his fortune before he mar
ries; that the wife must have no
sympathy nor share with him in the
pursuit of tin which most of the
pleasure truly consists-and the
young married people must set out
with as large and expensive an es
tablishment as is becoming those
who have been welded for twenty
years. This is very unhappy; it
fills the community with bachelors,
who are waitin< ~ make their for
tunes, endangering virtue, promot
ing vice; it destroys the true econo
my and design OF the domestic in
and it promotes inefficien
cy among females, .who are expect
iCg to be taken up by fortune and
passively sustained without any
care or concern on their part; and
thus many a wife becomes, as a
gentleman once remarked, not
''helpmate," but a "helpeat." -
