The Fortune Hunter.

The genuine fortune hunter il u verta-
BILE scamp-mercennry, crnel and greedy
When some rich women marry some
poor men, they little imagine the misery
they are creating for themselves. A man
who woos n woman with mercenary mo-
tlves is rather apt to hate her for being
worthy of better fate, rs she undoubt-
eddy is, else her generous heart would
not so run away with her judgment The
man who marries woman for her money
had better kill her outright and take il.
Indeed, that is what q creature who
makes a match with such motive would
like to do. He wants the hard gold, not
the soft woman who owns it, and no
hates her because he has to take her
also. Poor little heircsses, with such
delightful fortunes, poor little widows,
with snug little sum settled on you by
the husband that had your comfort ut
heart, how much better that you should
be pennlless women sewing for your liv-
ing Then some strong, loving hand
might gather you up to tender heart,
and you might be very sure it was all
for yoursef--all, every bit of it. But
now nothing is left you but loveless cx-
istence-a broken life All it's dan
gerous experiment to endow some men
with your earthly goods in place of being
endowed by them, and you pay the pen
atty of thus reversing the natural order
of things.

Forgetting Friendship.

There are men and women in public
life whose pathway is marked by the
remains" of whilom friends whom they
have squeezed dry and dropped like 80
many sucked oranges. In politics it is
said of such a man that he is kicked
down the ladder by which he climbed.
In literary or other walks the human
sponge often swolls up with the thought
that he has " outgrown" his humble
friends Of other days In private life
the selfconscious soul contents itself
with becoming more and more tho
centre of its little circumference, taking
none within its orbit will not consent TO
revolvc around it and omit lights and
warmth for its enjoyment. There have
been many and noble definitions of what
friend is. People Of real individuality,
strength and constituencies doubtless have
fewer real friends than they are apt to
think, unless they have been chcrishing,
unconsciously, low ideals But what
ever friend may not be. certainly that
sweet aud noble term is not unmerited
by one who however generous he may
be in other directions, is selfish as him

To leave this world so bright,
For the gloomy shades of night,
And to tread the shadowy valley mid the
falling of the leaves,

AS she shivers by the hearth,
In the cool and frosty mornings and the damp
and chilly eyes,
AS she shudders at the knell

But still, with gasping breath,

While fast her tears arc falling as the falling

One of the supposed cement barrels had in
all fourteen pounds of this dangerous ex-

estimate the fatal effects of even an acci

resource to discover the consigners and
eonsignees of the machines, having only
warning few hours before the steamers
arrived at Liverpool. For the last nine
months open threats of such outrages
have appeared in the Fenian press
of America and subscriptions for
the purpose have been openly collected
He said he thought the principal origin of
these attempts at assassination was the

was the duty for every civilized govern
ment to cooperate in putting down these
nefarious attempts. After expressing con-
fidence in the goodwill of America, the
Secretary said, 'It is to their interest as
much as ours, as the danger is as great to
Americans as to Britons crossing the At
lantic. Her majesty's government have
long been fully alive to their responsibility
in this matter, and confidently count on
the support of parliament and country,
while they employ every engine of law and
power of thr executive to destroy these
associations of assassins.

lea is correct, but the authorities are retic-

In the Commons Viscount London con-
firmed the report of the discovery of ten
American internal machines In Liverpool
on two vessels. The home government
was notified they had been consigned three
weeks ago. He believed the conspirators
were connected with the projects of the
Fenian press in America, but believed the
American government as desirous as Eng
land to suppress such crimes.

citizenship of all classes and quotes from a
speech made by him in Congress eleven
years ago in which he forecast the assas-
sination and intimidation of blacks and
whites in the South for their opinions, and
says this is no time for abatement of the
advocacy of equal rights, when the worst
apprehensions have been realized. He
says the paper will advocate the hands of
policy as to finances, will encourage pro-
tective tariff, will counsel the unity of the
Republican ranks, such as now seems
feasible, the Herald has heretofore been
independent in politics.

THE ARMY WORM

CLINTON, H., July 2b.-After careful
investigation it has been ascertained that
the army worm, of which so much has been
said the last few days, has not done the
damage that was reported. The wheat crop
in Central Illinois was nearly all harvested
before it came. There are myriads of them
here, however, and they have damaged the
hay somewhat. There is more fear of the
chinch bug, which is attacking the corn,
than from the army worm.
