Aaron nurr'r l.ove-Lct,cr-.

A correspondent Of the indianapolis
journal chatted with Thurlow Weed,
recently, about his reccollections of
Aaron Burr. Weed said that among
many well-known families there was an
agony Of fear when the duel was fought
lest the guilty gallant should fall and
their secrets be betrayed; and this fear
deepened into CONSERVATION when he
died. Many of the Oldest families of
New York, Pennsylvania and New
England trembled. And well they
might.
what could they have feaerd then,
so many years after2n
"Why, you scott had been rnmored
around that Burr had never destroyed
any letters from ladies'. And this
shows better than anything else, his
lack of any moral sense whatever, for
he refused TO protect those whom he had
previously injured, when they could
have been protected without a moments
thought"
'Did he actually keep all those let
tcrs?n
me did probably every one. lie
used to boast that he had never des-
troyed one. And with devilish method
he had filed them all carefully and fol-
ded them regularly in packages, each
lady's letters by themselves. When
Burr died at last, Matthew L. Davis,
about his only friend, who became his
administrator, sent for me. There was
nothing to administer but the express
sions OF tenderness which the scoundrel
had cajoled from respectable women
and filed away. There was the will
which he had made the day before his
duel with Hamilton. In that he said
to his daughter, Theodosia, his only
legitimate child, then Mt sea: In n
blue trunk in the attic you will find
something to amuse, more to instruct,
and still more to regret That blue
trunk he thus coolly bequeathed to his
only. child, and that child, n lovely
daughter, contained the carefully
treasured love letters-from a dozen
women Mt n time-proofs of her faith
er's depravityl Does not that show
that Burr was without any moral n
whatever Theodosia was swallowed
up by the waves, and never saw the
blue trunk"
did you SEQ these letters, Mr..
Weed?n

the blue trunk, which Davis had partly
examined, and l shall never forget my
establishment and disgust at what /
saw. 1t was nearly fnll of letters from
women, filed in packages. We looked
at the individual letters. Most Of them
had originally been signed with initials
only, or oftener without any name, or
with some pet name; but Burr, with a
malignity whose motive l cannot even
yet understand. had written out each
name in full. He seemed resolved that
others should share his infamy. Some
of the names belonged to the most hon
ored families in the land-to have re-
vealed them would have been to cause
terrible anguish, and in several cases
probably the breaking up of families.n

Marriage In Two Centurie'.

How were young ladies dealt with and
how were marriages managed in the tif-
teenth century? If this generation of
young ladies have any notion of it, they
will rejoice that they were not born to be
married 400 years ago. They know very
we'll that if they have attended to their
duty and trained up their parents III the
way that they should go, they may
choose for themselves, with or without
discrimination rs the case may be. Mel
Their they nor their parents may have
taken tho view which recollect to have
heard from Mr.. Rogers. that it does not
much signify whom one mar
ries, as one is sure to find next morning
that it was somebody else; brt though
they may not be prepared to so quite
this length, yet. from one cause or an
other, the young in their wilfulness and
strength will not seldom act and the old
in their impotence concede, in such sort
that they might seem not to stop far
short of it, It was otherwise in the last
century. Parental rigor in those days
could hold its own as firmly as the
parish stocks; and there was bur one
escape-the flight to Gretna Green, a
sanctuary known now only to history.
Inc cOOlDeSS WIFI WHICH IL wis SOME
times resorted to may be exemplitied by
quotation (given to me by grandson
of the parties) from letter written, not,
however, to the parents of the lady flor

Life ut the French Watering Places.

Trouville, Deanville and Dieppe are
crowded; the most wonderful Partisan
toilets pervadipg the beach, and still
more marvellous bathing dresses, almost
putting old Neptune, with his limited
repertory of shoaling green's and blues,
out of ceuntenance. One can imagine q
mermaid trying to take the pattern in
her eye, for doubtless cut-out paper
models are unknown in the kingdom
under the sea.
l spent two days there last week amid
the concourse of French Marquises and
Countesses, with their attendant courts
of cavalier servanti;" of rich English,
to whom the rather fast tone of Trouville
manners and customs is not deterrent;
and of sparse Americans with costumes
that outworthed Worth himself, and
eyes that opened wider every day at the
unaccustomed sights they saw.
The pretty American is no prude; she
has been accustomed so receive her daily
need of admiration, and thinks no more
of it than she does of breakfast or dinner
She is very often fast, but her fastness
compared with that of Trouville, sis as
water unto wine." I should like to see
some of the letters she writes home from
her pretty home in the Hotel lie Ia Mer
One of them might run somewhat as
follows:
1.-The people here do the most extlaor-
binary things; not only do men and
women battle together, but they sit and
walk about the beach in the most aston
ishing bathing costumes you can imag-
inc. I will describe that worn this morn
ing by a pretty woman. rather inclining
to 'embonpoint:' Trousers of striped
scarlet and yellow ticking, barely cover
ing the knees, even though supplement
ed by an edging of gold lace; tunic of
similar ticking, commencin good two
inches below the neck, and with collar
made of gold braid and gold lace. This
tunic is confined at the wrist by a gold
braided band, and reaches to within six
or seven inches of the knees. The sleeves
are very short, so that arms and legs are
practically uncovered. What would you
take to walk about. laugh, tirt, and
chatter with half dozen men in such a
garb? 1t is thought nothing of here.
In fact, it is what every one does. Most
of the baigneuses look rs if they were
dressed for opera bouife. As for the
hirtatations!"- Liverpool Mail.

Does any one know what were the best
tunes in the year 1710, when hymns be-
gan to be sung and when in l740 Charles
Wesley wanted them for some of his pc
cnliar meters? Some of the best of them
we are told, appeared in the "Beggars
Opera" 1927. The best were, perhaps,
those of Purcell. One thing is appar,
parent. the difference between sacred
and secular music at that time was not
such as it is now. The most popular
airs were in a minor key. When sung
very slowly they had most lugubrious
and funereal sound. There, however,
lay their great charm. They were set to
words full of buffoonery or, alas,
sometimes covert, sometimes gross, in
decency. The grave faces and tones of
the singers gave pungency to the mad
ness Of the song. fear that very few of
Of them could be used with safety ut the
society's meetings. All who have studied
the history of music know that the close
of the last century was the very crisis of
its new birth. DR.. Watts lived just be-
fore tho movement began, before the ar.
rival of Handel in ITO. He died fifty
years before Haydn, who was the main
instrument Of this regeneration. The
Countess of Huntington used her infiu-
ence with Giardini, the celebrated violin
list, to get one or two new tunes
written, Moscow" among the rest.
Tomaso Giordina, another italian
artist. composed several tunes. The tune
called Cam bridge" is mentioned Ms one
of them. Miss Ford, an accomplished
young Irish lady of great musical talent
and skill as vocalist and composer,
was also pressed into the service. Most
unfortunately, she attended n drawing
room meeting at Lady Huntingdon's,
and, without warning, she Witnessed the
tones and gestures of her ladyship in
prayer. They were acknowledged to be
singular. The young lady was so con
vulsed with laughter that she made
disturbance in the meeting. Peace was
made at last by the composition of tune
for the difficult meter, "All We that pass

of you Sourness means loneliness and
social desolation. Sourness means
subtle form of selfishness.
"a merry heart doeth good like med
icine." Not too merry. Not boisterous.
Not the merriment which desires to hear
only itself and no one else. Not the
merry maker who holds him or herself
as sort of free show and works and
travels for admiration. But the soft,
gentle, cheerful heart which is at peace
with itself, and can listen Us we'll as talk.
You can be such medicine. You can
arise out of the ruins of your Carthage,
out of your desolation and loneliness,
and go forth. You can see people who
want to be seen, who want pleasant
company and who need your company.
You can sit with them an hour and be to
them medicine and leave your medicine
behind, and such act will prove to you
also medicine. You must do this. If
you do not your spite and ugliness and
loneliness will grow worse and worse.
You will be in Hades; 1t is the true
Hades. You must flee it, and flee it by
the route here pointed out Graphic.

To O.e Who Has SOured on 1t.

Soured, eh! Soured against the world ?
Down on it? Down on society? Buried
yourself in some out of the way place !?
But it's no use. Souring isn't profitable.
1t hurts mostly yourself. 1t affects
others but transiently. Yourself it
troubles all the time. The world gets
even on you by keeping ont of your way
BY leaving you severely alone. The
world does not like sour things. The
world is selfish rs we'll as you. The
world goes for what best pleases it.
Do you know the reason why you are
eoured? Have you ever analysed your
self or taken yourself to pieces to find
where this sourness comes from? Well,
it's spite. It's ugliness. It's desire to
piaue the world by absenting yourself
from it. You think your friends, your
relatives, your sweetheart, or the woman
you wanted for sweetheart, hasn't
treated you rightly. So you will go
away and never be heard of, or you will
60 away just far enough to be vaguely
heard of, and you hope, way down in the
deepest depths of your heart, that they
may wonder and worry about you. try
maybe to find you, and their possible
pains, distress and worry will be sort
Of qualification to you.

drinking, their selfishness, their tom.
foolery and their miserable ways which
don't please you. They will forget all
about you, or they will run when they
see your soured face coming, or, worse
yet, the wickedest among them will tease
you in some way. and rejoice when they
see your sourness become sourer.
And all the sourness falls back on
yourself. You are the chief sufferer.
