beauty as has been seen for several
years. The soldiers with their
snowy uniforms and the fragrance of
the flowers sandwiched in, was too
much for the Quaker City ladies and
they turned out en- masse. AS the
opening society event of the season,
it ushered in the enjoyments of fash
ionable life in the best possible
manner, and the beauty of this city
appeared at its best, amid the pro-
fuse decorations of the armory. AS
the guests entered the building they
were received by the members of
the Troop drawn up inIdouble line
with swords elevated, and the scene
as it greeted the eve was brilliant to
excess. After a little ''chin-chin"
with the officers of the Troop horns
were sounded and Minister Outrey,
with Madame de Rochambeau lean
ing on his arm headed the process
sion. M. Outrey was profusely COW
cred with decorations and orders
and Madame de Rochambeau was
attired in purple silk dress, elab-
orately trimmed with old lace. The
Marquis de Rochambeau followed
with Nine. Loyseau on his arm.
The remainder of the brilliant party
succeeded, in glittering uniforms
and decorations. The hosts of the
evening then fell into the line and
proceeded around the walk prepar-
ed in the riding department, while
the strains of the orchestra greeted
the guests with the familiar Mar
seillaise. The hall was profusely
decorated With plants and flowers,
and the walls and ceilings were COW
cred with banners and flags. Around
two sides of the walls convenient
arbors covered with greens and flags
formed the most delightful for those
who desired to rest. After the pro-
cession, the guests assembled were
introduced to the distinguished Wis.,
itors. Dancing followed. By the
way Of comment, it may be added
that many of the young ladies wore
large Gansiborough hats and their
beautiful faces showed to great ad-
vantage from beneath the 4rames of
flowers and lace.
From here the distinguished
Frenchmen go to New York and
Boston wheregrand receptions await
them.

Christian Honesty.

1t is a grateful service, always, to
publish the example Of man who
reverences the Ten Commandments,
and finds his highest pleasure in doing
right.
Early in the year 1879 well known
manufacturer in the city of New York
found himself obliged to susr end bust
ness and make an assignment Of his
property TO his creditors. 1t was what
is called in common language a fail
ure.' But the manufacturer, who was
an honest man and Christian man,
did not fail" in order to "ma Ike
money" He stopped where he did for
the sake of doing the best he could for
his creditors.
Everybody had confidence in the
good man, and when his creditors met.
the nearest thing to a criticism was a
mild suggestion from some Of them that
perhaps he was too kindhearted. Was
it wise to offer such liberal reductions
to poor purchasers as he had been do
ing? And had he better not discon-
time it as hazardous practice?
Gentlemen" said he, if it must
be made condition that l have no
poor customer list, and be denied that
liberty OF accommodation and kindness,
l cannot go on"
The objection was withdrawn, and
the creditors cheerfuliy made terms
with him by which he was allowed to
continue his business in his own way.
AT first he sold and traded only as an
agent, and four months after his as
Segment, with the ali of friend who
advanced him money, he opened new
store.
In little more than six months his
business was once more in his own
name, and with returning prosperity
no began, true to his high principles,
to pay tho men he owed. His creditors
had released him, and he was no longer
legally bound, but for man who
feared God, to know what was right was
sufficient reason for doing it.
In less than year-and long before
his assignee had closed accounts witt,
the preferred creditors - the honest
merchant had paid over to the rest
whose debts had not been secured, and
whom no law compelled him to pay,
tile last dollar Ntat lie Oicfd them.
So noble transaction excited much
admiring comment, and one New York
religious paper went SO far as to say,
Not one man in million would have
done such thing" The proportion of
upright people in the world is, we be-
lieve, much larger than that, but wore
it q thousand times larger, the fact
would not dim the luster of this mans
example, Youths Companion.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1881-02-04
Difference Between Cousins"

The difference between city and their
country cousins is more marked than
most people believe. The first impress
sion man has on finding himself for
the first time in great city is of vague
excitement, accompanied by sense of
danger. The multiplicity of objects
appears fantastic to an eye accustomed
to rural scenery; the unintermittent
noises, the entangled yet purposeful
movements, and, above all, the shifting
panorama of unfamiliar human faces,
combine to throw the visitor into state
of mind totally strange to him. And
amid so much tumultuous life he sees
death everywhere on the lookout for a
victim. But if the visitor to these
strange regions looks at the faces of
those he meets in search of some refec-
ton OF his own perturbation, he looks in
vain. The countenance OF the city man,
as he threads his way along tho street,
is curiously impassive. At first
glance it appears also to be unobserv-
ant; but this is not it. For though he
seems to look at nothing, it soon be-
comes evident that he sees everything.
He mechanically informs himself out of
eHS wa ANA "a AeAo ~ " Va SNOA ehAA6 ehop
might tend to obstruct or threaten him;
and though LIE passes through thou
sand people without encountering the
gaze or treading on the toes of any one
of them, he will recognize an acquaint-
auce, or calculate to an inch the rate of
speed at which he must make the cross
ing in order to escape the omnibus from
one direction and tho truck from the
other. Doubtless, custom and memory
will account for large part of it; yet
the impassive face would probably APP
pear far less impressive than it does had
not the contraction of the facial mus
cles, brought about by the constant as
saults of innumerable impressions and
the impossibility of responding to them
all, become in a manner fixed. The
houses and pavements, the vehicles and
the hub-bub, produce an effect upon
these muscles just the reverse of that
exercised by the hills and dales of the
country; they press them instead OF
drawing them out-in other words, the
mind resists them instead of sympsthiz,
ing with them.

"Well, I'd better pay it, guess"
From one pocket she took two cop

three-cent piece. From her purse she
fshed out nickel; and it was only
after hunt of eighty seconds that she
got the twelve cents iItogether. She
then consumed four minutes in licking
on the stamps, askingl;wheres.t to post
the box and wondering kifSthere really
was any writing inside, bat woman
proposes and man disposes. Twenty
thousand dollars worth of business was
being detained by twelve-cent woman,
and tidal wave suddenly took her away
from the window. In sixty seconds
the thirteen men had been waited on
and gone their ways, and the woman
returned to the window, handed in the
box, and said:

A PRETTY FAMILY.-The wild play
mates of nature love liberty, and must
have it. But even the most timid of
them will come to the call of human
kindness. Here is an illustrations:
A young lady had chamber in the
third story of lofty house, near an ex-
tensive park. Early in the winter Il
beautiful flying squirrel took refuge
between the window blinds aud glass
She gave the little stranger kind
reception, by feeding him with nuts
and other dainties, leaving it to 90 to
the wood; AMI return at pleasure. After
q time he brought companion to share
in his luxurIcs, and then another, until
the colony amounted to dine or more,
who were furnished by their kind
hostess with homes for their shelter,
and wool for their bedding.
They made occasional visits to the
park. They showed no fear when the
window was raised for the curiosity of
strangers. They seemed as conscious
OF safety as they were of comfort and
the luxury of living Western R1ral.

Loves Aphorisms.

We seldom think how much we owe
our first love- Goethe.
A man of sense may love like mad
man, but never like fool La Roche
foucault.
Base men being in love, have then a
nobility in their natures moro than is
native to them Shakespeare.
Pure love ought to burn like oxygen
in OXYGEN John Foster.
A woman's love is essentially lonely
and spiritual in its nature. 1t is the
heathenism of the heart. She herself
has created the glory and beauty with
which the idol of her heart stands in
vested l.. E. L.
True love, like Greek fire, is inextin-
guishable.- Tx Marvel.
Love is the art Of hearts and heart
OF arts. Conjunctive looks and inter-
jectional signs are its vocabulary's
greater half Bailey's Festus.
Love depends on the loving and not
on the loved Bulwer.
Life is owe and love is eternity
[ Menken.
Time, which deadens hatred, secretly
strengthens love- Richter.
One clairvoyance on earth is GER

love.

love- Bllwcr.
