T'hurlcW Weed.

The Pioneer Press of the Esd in an
article on Thurlow Weed who died in
New York on the 22nd says:
'Thurlow Weed, who died at an age
twenty years in advance ofthe usual ex-
IRENE allotment of human life, is little
more than Il shadow and a Renaissance
of the present generation; but he filled,
often worthily and always positively
and energetically, a large space in the
public life of thirty to forty years ago.
Though he never achieved distinction
in any other field than hat of politics,
and though he never held a more i'm
portant Office than that of member Of
the legislature, his genius for %organiza-
ton, his tact in the management of men.
his power of command and his grasp of
affairs made him the most important
figure in public life in New York up to
the time of the republican national con
v~ention in Chicago in 1850, and an ex-
ceedingly influential factor in national
politics before and after. The control
ling spirit in the old New York republi-
can regency, the friend of Seward, the
co-worker with Greeley, the confidential
adviser Of Lincoln, the Warwick Of his
own state politics, and the aspiring
volunteer minister of the first republi
can national administration, he has
served the public and his party longer
and more laboriously, and has exerted a
larger Influence upon the politics Of the
country than many Il man who has
spent his life in high public office. Mr..
Weed had a passion for politics, but no
ambition for Office. He sought the sub
stance of power, but left TO other men
the external possession of it. He was
the first who reduced the principle of

and milk diet.
We have seen a girl who ur derstood
her business take a reformed road a.
gent by the nose, so to speak, and lead
him through life in such way that
he wouldn't know but that he was
boss OF the ranch. So perfect was the
delusion, that when she asked him to
bring in a scuttle of coal, or get up
in his night shirt and kill burglar,
that he knew was nothing but bob
tailed cow four blocks away, he always
went, and he felt as though he couut-
ed it mark Of special favor that
poor unworthy worm of the dust, like
him, should be sought out and dele
gated to go and chase lame COW
across nine vacant lots with an old
barrel stave and clothed in nothing
but little brief authority and knit
undershirt.
We cannot exactly describe this
magic power of a devoted wife over
her husband, and we do not intend to
try 1t. 1t is an unseen motive, name
less leverage that makes the husband
get up in the dead hour of the night
and set the pancake batter near the
parlor stove.
A man need not think that because
he gets up and looks for burglars in
the night he is otherwise obedient,
that it is because he has no backbone.
1t is simply because he is the hus-
band of a woman of whom he onoht
to be proud.

A Frenchman's Love.

A Frenchman is genuine gallant,
assiduous in small attentions to wo-
man but he is cold lover at heart.
10 him the woman is everything ex-
cept his hearts love. She is his busi-
ness partner; in fact the managing
partner of the business while he lives
in his cafe. In the country she is his
laboring man, his purse keeper, his
adviser, often his master. To the pro-
fessional man she is the mother of
his children, the bringer in Of Ger.
tain dot to the family store. In poll
tics she is the centre around which
men congregate. In religion, the
deputy and representative of all man.
kind in church. But in the heart of
a Frenchman she has no place and no
home. Marriages are made as busi-
ness partnerships are made, with due
regard to business arrangements on
all sides, and without any reference
whatsoever to the impulses of the
heart. Only a few days ago one of our
prettiest girls, whose parents are rich,
because the sum of hard cash to be
handed over to him on the day of mar
riage was not equal to his demands.
He will now, of course, look. for an
other wife as he would look for an
other farm, with a sole regard to its
income bringing prospects.

Morphiomania.

When physicians discovered that
pain could be subdued by inserting
under the skin small pointed instru
ment provided with tube containing
morphia, they little thought that they
were paving the way for new vice
Yet so il was. There are, in our aier-
ry England, beings who are as wholly
under the domination of morphia rs
ever was Chinese under that of opium.
Women have yielded by degrees to It's
fatal fascination, until at last they
prick the skin a dozen times day
with the tiny syringe that has such
terrible results. The operation is al
most painless; the immediate effects
pleasant. a delicious languor super
venes. Happy thoughts, bright i'm
aginings fill che mind. Some See
beautiful visions; others feel only a
peryading sensation of comfort and
wcll-being. On few, the effect Of
morphia is to excite to some intellect
ual effort, that can be called which is
pure delight, glorious feeling of un-
trammelled power, of uncrippled exer-
else of the highest faculties. 1t is as
though the mind had suddenly devel-
oped wings. But at the very height
Of the enchantment the influence of
the morphia begins to subside. The
glory fades. The wings trail. and the
feet that are their sorry substitute be-
come weighed as with lead. AS with
the worders, so with the dramers.-
The visions are obscured. The sensa-
ton of comfort gives place to discom-
fort, irritation, even pain. The men
tai vision that had just now looked
through rosy mist sees all things as
through a Grape veil or November
fog. Can it be wondered at that the
dose is renewed, that the poison is
absorbed again and again, lat the in
tervals become shorter and shorter
between the reign of the potent drug
And the end : The punishment is
terrible indeed. By degrees the mind
becomes darkened. Hideous halIu-
cinations seize upon it. Self-control
is lost. lmbecillty orertake the weak.

These are the personal consequences.
There are others to be bequeathed to
sons and daughters and to later gen
erations. These can be guessed at
The new vice has not reigned sutti-
ciently long for the world to have seen
them exemplified but dark array
of possibilities suggests itself but too
readily. The heritage of insanity, Of
inebriety, of imbecility, will in future
days be traced to those tiny tubes
which hold but drop or two, and to
which men once looked as to a blessed
means of relieving pain, forgetting
that blessings and curses 60 hand in
hand in IA crooked world. Dipsomania
has now powerful rival, speedier in
its results than its own revolving pro-
cess, and eventually as sdegrading. The

Just tt e Girl.

His name was Augustus Smythe ;
he was clerk in a dry goods store,
and didn't earn enough to starve de-
Gently on, but with that sublime as
surance which distinguishes the lad
de-dah young man of the day, he was
paying attention to the prettiest girl
in the city. He managed, by not pay
ing his wash-woman and tailor, to
take her to theatres, but as times were
getting hard he concluded to marry
her and save Che expense of boarsiing.
By some process of mental arithmetic
known to the genins, he discovered
with great difficulty that what was
not enough for one was enough for
two, and forthwith concluded to pop.
He knew that his persistent visits had
kept all other young men away, so he
had no fears of rival. When the
time came and he found himself in the
company of his Laura in her papa's
comfortable parlor, he leisurely seated
himself by her side on the sofa, took
her dimpled little hand used only to
tinkle the piano with, and said in a
bronze voice:
"Dear Miss Laura, have concluded
to marry"
Laura started. as he intended she
should. Then he resumed. grandi.
loquently: 81 want a dear little girl
about your size, with great big heart
just like yours, to share my lot"
'ls it on Court avenue?" murmur.
ed Laura.
"No dearest, but what are localities
to hearts that love? | want girl
that is good tempered, smart econom
ical, and who loves me! Darling dc
you know of such one ~
Laura, family, Eyes, oh, yes, | an
sure | do"
"One who would rather live with me
in poverty than dwell with some Other
man in riches? Who would esteem i
pleasure to serve me, cook my meals
keep the house tidy, and listen fol
my footsteps-who would rise early
and sit up late for my sake?'
"Oh, how beautiful" murmereG
Laura; 'just like dear, self-sacrifc
ing manv'
"Do you know of such a one, my
angel"
ayes, l do," responded Laura, fer
vently; "but you must not call me
your angel, for she might not like it
she's in the kitchen now washing the
dishes, and she told mother this morn.
ing she'd just as leave get married this
winter as live out, if she only felt able
to support IA husband. She's just the
girl you want. and she'd love you
within an inch of yonr life"
But Augustus Smythe had fled into
the outer darkness; the too muchness
of the occasion overcame him like q
summer cloud.

old lady would make the country Wo-
man welcome.
In the evening that followed Fred 5
heart was touched and warmed till,
scarcely conscious of his own words,
he told his long cherished secret and
knew that he had won her love.
Aunt Sabina stayed two weeks and
then went home, to the immense re-
lief of the Gorhams, and carving no
regret at leaving any but Fred and
Cornelia.
1t was not even suspected that Cor
nelia spent four weeks in the height
of the summer season, listening to the
praises of Fred at Aunt Sabina's farm
house; and Fred did not know it un-
til he came too, after she was gone,
and had his share Of listening to low
ing commendation of one he loved.
He wore the necktie, and made him
self so much at home, that Aunt Sa-
bina wept some of the bitserest tears
of her life when he left.
"To have you both and lose you.'
she sobbed.
Next time we will come together"
Fred whispered, and SO consoled her.
But alas. the next time Fred came
was to superintend the funeral of the
gentle old lady; and though Cornelia
came too, his happy wife, there was
no welcome in the pale lips, or the
blue ewes closed forever. But the will
the old lady gave all her worldly pos
sessions to her "dear nephew, Fred
erck Gorham"-the farm and farm
house 1t was apparently no great
legacy. and Cornelia smiled at many
of the old fashioned treasures she
touched, all with tender reverence
death leaves.
Ten years ago Aunt Saoina was
laid 10 rest in her narrow coffin, and
there is busy, flourishing town
around the sit of the old farm. Mr..
+ ederick Gorham lives there now,
and handles large sums of money-the
rents of stately buildings.
..Made his money, sir, by specula-
tions," you will be told, if you inquire
as to his source Of income. For
tunate purchases of ground before the
town was thought of.
But | tell you that the only specu-
lation he made was in the kindness of
his heart extending loving attentions
10 his fathers sister, and that the only
land he ever owned was Aunt Sabina's 8
farm.
