First Love.

Here is the danger which lies in first
love, according to the Bazar: Always
it is vowed to an ideal. Once in 1000
times, perhaps, the actual person is
found SO much to resemble the imagin-
any being that, the exalted sentiment
may drop, and rest upon that reality
without shock or change. But commonly
the difference is worldwide. And, if it
lie the unrelenting test of marriage
which discloses it, happy is it for those
hasty lovers If character and principle
maintain the VOWS which passion took.
Yet first love, though oftenest delusion.
is not, therefore, a folly. That rapt ex-
istence in upper air, that losing of self in
another, is not ignoble, and leaves be-
mind it something sweeter than it takes
away, as when our friend dies, his angel
comes. tits only when the radiant vision
OF long past defrauds the honest pres
ent that it can harm. Poor faithful Jean
Burns, toiling early and late to keep the
BARNS together and her Robin respect
able, could not have relished his moon
ing about under haystacks and wetting
ms rheumatic feet, in composing songs
to his various first loves. Madame
Gemina Donah Dante doubtless had her
own views as to the fuss which her satur-
nine husband made over his lost Bea-
trlce and if their conjugal differences
grew into separation, who shall say
that the patience of that hi5h-born lady
with her shadowy rival had not been ex-
emplary? And though Mistress Laura
Gle SADIE was as proper as st. Ursula, we
certainly do not hear of her noble hus-
band making himself 11nn1easant until
the handsome Petrarch had built mount
ANS OF sonnets to her. IF pretty Mrs.
Smith fails to make the most of her lord.
and OF her life with him. because she
fancies that Brown alone, discovered but
unforgotten, was the true prince, her
folly Of first love is fatuous. If Jones,
having married that nice Miss Robinson,
defrauds her of one kind word, courtesy
or attention, because of his early infatu-
alton for the lovely Miss Thompson, he
is deluded and deluding Jones. The
chance is that each has g gained profit
by losing of his prayers"

Opening a Grave to Get a Ring.

The wife Of William Shields Of thig
vicinity wears gold finger ring which
has history. It was bought by her
grandfather In England and previous to
his marriage. He had inscribed on the
inside OF the ring the words, 81 love my.
choice, and presented'it to his wife as q
wedding present. It was worn by the
young bride during her short welded
life OF SIX years, when she died, and by
request Of her husband the ring was not
taken from her finger when she was
buried. After the body had been bur-
led seventy years the grave was opened,
the ring taken out and given to the
daughter of the deceased, who recently
sent it to her daughter, Mrs. Shields.
So the ring is about so years old at
least. - lalsc0tigae Journal.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.

The Tongue Of the Maid Of Athens
Maid Of Athens, we must partl
Your will is strong, your temper's tart;
And, when 60 and when come,
Your tongue swings like pendulum.
Hear my prayer before 60,
Remember it's my last request,
And, If you can for an hour or 80,
Keep it still and let me rest
By those banged locks all unconfned,
Blown all about by every wind;
BY that curled nose all out of joint,
Like an interrogation point,
Check that tongues eternal dow.
Oh, heed, l beg, this one behest
And, II you can for an hour or so,
Keep it still and let me rest
BY those lips that never close;
BY those crossed eyes which daunt their foes;
By my bald head, 80 prompt to tell
What words can never speak 80 well,
Your tongue is darting to and fro;
You pour forth words like one possessed;
But, If you can for an hour 80.
Please keep it still and let me rest.
Maid OF Athens, am gone
III be at peace when I'm alone.
Yet, though fly to Istambol,
Your strident tones shall fright my soul
Gan cease to hear thee? No!
That tongue is heard from east to west;
But, If you can for an hour or go,
Oh, keep 1t still and let me rest!

Example.

Constantinop'e, 1t is now pretty
generally accepted hat the reason for the
Sultan's zeal concerning the inquiry into
the death Of A bdul Aziz l. that serious
conspiracy was organizing sg4iDst him
self in view of which he possibly thinks
exemplary punishment Of the sssassins
will furnish a salut-ry example. The
Sultan's two brothers, Eulam shmoud
Pasha and Noury Pashs are under ar
rest, suspected of having been deeply i'm
plicated in bo'h cares.
II will be remembered that the vast
treasure, which Abdul Aziz amassed,
mostly disappeared after his decease, and
then the ministry gave out that it had
been used for war expenditures. The
present inquiry, however. tends to show
that considerable part was appropriated
by the high officials, and the palace
Nou y and Mahmoud have begun TO in
criminate each other. Noury, for ex-

Going for Gorhani.

New York, 2.-The Times has long
and bitter article on Gorham, whic
closes thus: The further supp Irt of Cor
ham as candidate for the chief office in
the gilt of the Senate is n matter fer
senators to consider ss relating to the
good name and interest of the republi an
party, and the honor of the public ser
vice. 1t is to be hoped that they W II
take the earliest opportunity to UNLOAD"
Gorham. They cannot do less with de-
cent regard for their most obvious re-
sponsibilities.
Whatever msy have induced the re-
publicsns 10 select that g-ntlem an
(Gorham) as their candidate, there are
very much stronger motives why be
should now be dropped. He is no morS
competent than any one of Al00 who might
be- named. 1t is understood that he repre-
sents IN some underlined manner, jointly
with Rlddleberger, the man for the ofic.
of Senator Malone, but we do not under
stand that Senator Malone makes HE
corporations with republicans conditional
on the reteni)n OF GOrham. II he did
that would be no reason for adhering t.
Gorham, under the existing circuL.-
stances. The republicans can much bal
ter aft Ird to lose the aid IF Malone than
they can afford to continue In 81 con-
splcuous a position, the most prominent
Apologist of the Star route frauds, WhA4
ever else Gorham may b. This is the
character in which he rs now by his own
choice most generally recognized
throughout the country. No possible
claim TO consideration that he mHy posses
can out weigh the scandal CT this fact.

the nihilists who have just received mar
tyrs' crowns, was dictated as well as con-
hrmeG by the Gar. The first act of his
sutocrati. will, thus far, has been the
hangi e of women. Without waiting for

throne with the blood OF champions of
national rights. Over the graves OF our

policy will lead to consequences more dis

in March. The manifesto concludes by
appealing to all who would shake Off
