After Clara had gone, Lille sat think
ing over her friends arguments, until
it did seem hard to have to stay to
home from the ball. Why, she thought
did Charley make such silly, unrea-
sonably request, it surely was selfish in
him, and no doubt Clara was right, and
he would enjoy himself and tiirt and
dance as mnch as he pleased. Well, she
thought, l have 8. week to decide which
| will do, go or stay home.
At dinner her uncle and aunt laugh
ed at the idea of her giving in 70 Char
hes tyranny, as they called it, and her
uncle, as he left the table, handed her
a check for three hundred dollars, "to
feather his little niece for the ball, )" as
he laughingly said. So it seemed as if
Fate really intended her TO GO, and it
was useless in her to strive against
Fate. Thus people older and wiser
than Lille Rainsford often delude
themselves.

Rasnerf Mn.nen

There is nothing manly, my dear
boys in making light of women. For
your mothers sake, honor the sex.
Never use lady's name in an improp-
er place, or at any improper time, or
in mixed company. Never make as
sertions about her that you think are
untrue, illusions that you feel she her
self would blush to hear When you
meet with men who do not scruple to
make use of a woman's name in a
reckless and unprincipled manner,
shun them, for they are the very worst
members Of the community-men lost
to every sense Of honor, every feeling
If humanity. Many good and
worthy woman's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken
by lie, concocted by an unprincipled
william, but believed by people of good
principles who are TOO ready to believe
SANDER or condemn imprudence and
crime. The smallest thing derogatory
to womans character will fly on the
wings Of the wind, aud magnify as it
circulates, until its weight crushes the
poor unconscious victim. Remember
this if you are tempted to repeat or
listen to a scandalous lie.

AEeM Words TO Girls.

Let sentimentalists pirate of limo
cence and timidity as they villa hus-
band may be proud of his wife, if she
is the prettiest woman on the street,
but he will lie prouder of her if she can
answer a business letter for him when
he is sick. or bind up cut finger with
out fainting. A word right here about
the doctrine of innocence. In its gen
eral acceptance it means ignorance,
and is abominable. 1t may do in old
countries where a girls every step is
logged by duenpa; but here in Amer
lea We do not want ignorant girls, nor
girls that appear ignorant. They should
learn all that mothers, and books, and
practical life can teach them; learn
always with the desire for moral as well
as mental improvement; then nc
knowledge can hurt them; neither viii
the strength so gained make them IN
womanly.

There's just one thing a man can have
In all this world Of woe and strife,
That makes the business not so bad,
And that ons things an easy wife.
Dost fancy that | love my girl
For rosy cheeks or raven hair
She holds my heart because she laughs
Because she laughs, aud doesn't care.
I nut my boots just where it suits,
And find them where put them, too:
That is a thing you must allow.
A chap can very seldom do.
leave my papers on my desk,
She never dusts them in . heap,
Or takes to light the kitchen stove
The very one want to keep.
On winter nights my cosy dame
win warm her toes before the fire;
She never scolds about the lamp,
Or wants the wick tride higher,
On Sundays she is not so fine
But that her rufiies can hug;
| light my pipe just where l please,
And spill the ashes on the rug.
The bed is never filled with "shams -
A thing some women viisly plan
To worry servants half to death,
And spoil the temper of a man.
She lets me sleep at any hour,
Nor raises any horrid din
If it just happens now and then,
To be quite late when come in.
l tell you Jack, if you would wed,
Just get girl who lets things rum
She'll keep her temper like lamb,
And help you on TO lots of fun.
Don't look for money, style, or show,
Or blushisg eauty, ripe and rare
Just take the one who laughs at fate
Who laughs, and shows she doesn't care.
You think, perhaps, our household ways
Are Just perchance little mixed;
Oh, when they gel too hornd bad
We stir about aud get things fixed.
What compensation has man
Who earns his bread by sweat of brow,
If home is made battle-ground,
And life one long, eternal row!

MORSE q Wilkinson, Pr0bnetOrs.

The governments proceeding against
the star route conspirators has fallen to
the ground. This news will be received
with just Indignation by the people.
The scamps have stolen millions of del
lars of the peoples money, and now go
scott free. The whole responsibility of
this fatal blunder must rest upon the
Hayes administration. If the thieves
had been proceeded against in time,
the statute Of limitations would not
have aided in their escape as it has.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Tyner affirms that he exposed these
frauds to Hayes and Key in 1873, but
they declined to prosecute because it
would hurt the party. The history of
the matter is in brief that the offenses
of the accused in swindling the govern
ment through fraudulent mail con-
tracts were alleged to have beeu COM
mitted before the LIST of October, 1873.
The federal statutes provide that infa-
nous crimes must be proceeded
against within three years from the
time of their commission, if at all. and
a constitutional provision makes neces-
sary a presentation Of such cases by a
grand jury as a preliminary to prose
cution. The cases in question should
therefore have been presented by the
grand jury of the district previous to
October Isl of the present year, as is
well known, no move was made until
the administration of Garfield began
to collect evidence. The necessary
time consumed in collecting this evil
dence took the cases over the time
allowed by the statute for indicting by
grand jury, and in order to get them
in within the required time an inform
alton was filed by the representative OF
the attorney general. This informa-
ton has been thrown out on the ground
that there is no authority for proceed
ing in such a manner. There will
doubtless, and justly too, be wide spread
excitement over this travesty on JUS
tice and farcial attempts to execute the
laws.
