they wish to make peace with the

they would not be permitted, un.

would have to live In peace, and in

girl weeping bitterly. Two or three old
women were scolding at her, and with
cred up old Mormon stood with his arm
around her. He finally coaxed her off
TO his wagon, she screaming and crying
that she would not marry him, and he
never letting go of her until he sat her
down upon the wagon-tongue. A girl
was following them. 1 halted her and
asked what was the trouble. She. said
that this girl was pledged to the old man
and that he had paid her passage out !;
and now she did not want to marry him
because he already had a wife and seven
children. L asked if she would be forced
to do so. The girl replied "Of course
she will. They have pledged her to
him." Poor thing the last that saw
of her she was struggling to get away
from him, and the withered old fellow
was holding on with both arms around
her. 1t is sickening to think of such
doings in civilized land. Dark as that
girls mind was, she had some grains of
virtue and some delicate instincts. The
despair pictured on her face showed that.
There is terrible account for our
country to settle with that poor girl.

How to Know Your Friend.

A miserly old Earl had fallen heir to
an estate worth some thousands of
pounds. Being always reputed poor,
his relations looked askance at him.
Unaware of his altered circumstances,
he tried the following ruse to know who
were his friends: At the beginning of a
hard winter old skinf1int applied to his
relations individually for little assist
ance to tide him over the winter. Only
one, o niece, poor teacher, responded
by sending e5 of her hard-earned pit
lance, with promise of more when her
salary became due. Shortly thereafter
the old man sickened and died, and to
the astonishment and chagrin of his
host OF relations he bequeathed to the
poor teacher, whose heart was in the
right place, his whole estate, amounting
in all to 600. 600

How Poor Boys may Become Successful
Men.

You want some good advice. 1t has
ruined many man, but may not harm
you, because you will not follow it. Rise
early; be abstemious; be frugal; attend
to your own business and never trust il
to another; be not afraid to work, and
diligently, too, with your own hands;
treat every one with civility and respect;
good manners insure success; accom-
plish what you undertake.; decide; then
persevere; diligence and industry over
come all difficulties; never be mean
rather give than take the odd shilling;
never postpone till tomorrow what can
be done to-day; never anticipate wealth
from any source but labor; honesty is not
only the best policy, but the only policy;
commence at the first round and keep
climbing; make your word as good as
your bond; seek knowledge to plan, en-
terprise to execute, honesty to govern
all; never trade beyond your stock; new
er give too large credit; time Is money;
make few promises; keep your secrets;
live within your income; sobriety above
all things; luck is a word that does not
apply to successful man; not too much
caution-slow but sure is the thing; the
highest monuments are built piece by
piece; step by step we mount the pyra-
mids; be bold-be resolute when the
clouds gather, difficulties are surmount-
ed by opposition; self-confidence, self
reliance is your capital; your conscience
the best monitor; never be over-sangu-
inc, but do not underrate your own
abilities; don't be discouraged; ninety
nine may say no, the hundredth, yes:
take off your coat: roll up your sleeves,
don't be afraid of manual laborl America
is large enough for all-strike out for
the west-the sea-shore cities are too
crowded; the best letter of introduction
is your own energy: lean on yourself
when you walk; keep good company; the
Spaniards say, if you lie down with dogs
you will get up with feas; keep out Of
politics unless you are sure to win-you
are never sure to win, so look out.

A TwO-Headed Girl.

There is at Soorabaya, Java, at present
on view a Japanese infant with two heads
and necks, but with one body, two arms
and two legs. The little thing is now
about fifty days old, according to the
mother, and is so far in fair health. The
two heads and necks are placed side by
side on the trunk, and are perfectly and
neatly formed, and of about normal size.
Between them on the trunk is small
protuberance, caused evidently by the
Junction of two bodies. The body is alb
normally broad at the shoulders, and
tapers down at the waist and loins to the
size of an ordinary infant of the same
age; the legs appeared very small and
weak, however The arms on each side
of the small chest looked puny. The
right hand head is little lighter in color
than the other. How the internal ar
engagements are disposed of we, of course,
do not know, but both heads have to be
fed at meal times. When the writer
was present one head cried, the mother
said from hunger, but the other did not,
though it at the same time began moving
about restlessly as if for food. The two
heads do not breathe alike, nor do the
pulses on either arm beat together, from
time to time the infant Cor infants, for
each head has q name) suffers from de-
preston, and the face turns BLUSH,
showing that the blood circulation is not
properly regulated. The parents are
ordinary Japanese of the lower class,
and the mother is good-looking; so is the
offspring. They are doing good trade

A Remnrkanle unIcnla1rnn.

A curious illustration has been afforded
by the New York Journal of Commerce.
1t takes up an utterancc of the Rev.
Adirondack Murray, who said in a re-
cent lecture:
''Now the population of the earth is
1000, 600, 600, and generation dies
every thirty years. In every thirty years,
then, 1000, 600, 900 human beings go out
of the world and 200, 900, 600 come in.
Forty years ago the church taught that
the world was 5000 years old. She
doesn't to-day pretend to guess within
100, 600 years how old the world is Very
well. What has been the population OF
the world since the race began? Who
can estimate the number? By what

To this the Journal replies: ''Now
