Old LOvERs.-Sevcral years before
the war young man came TO Little
Rock aud fell desperately in love with
a young lady. The girls parents were
rich. The young man was poor. 4
union was impossible. The girl PRAYED
aud the young man implored, but the
ruthless parents remained firm. The
young man went away. The war
came on. The parents of the girl died.
Her uncle squandered the estate. The
other day the lover came hack and
inquired for the young lady. Age
and poverty had visited her. but She
had remained true. They met aud
embraced. "You we're away so very
long" she said, leaning her tired head
on his shoulder. "But YOU won't
leave me again. Those who kept US
apart are sleeping now" Il will
never leave my brave darling. have
been trying for years to see you" But
they didn't marry. The man got her
to wash six shirts for him, and ran
away without paying the bill.-Little

A Perpetual COurtsliip.

The Mexicans of the wealthy or we'll
to.do classes have 4 custom in married
life which seems to me pretty one.
Husband and wife have entirely separate
apartments Of the other except on invi-
tation. When tho husband desires the
company of his lady in his apartment ho
writes note Of Invitation in terms ofthe
most formal and lofty politeness, inclosesit
In perfumed envelope, sealsi it and sends
1t to her on silver tray in the hands of
servant. The lady acknowledges the
invitation in the same way, and If she
accepts, which she is probably most like
ly to do, she appears At the door Of his
apartments at the appointed hour, in brl.
dial costume, escorted by one or more of
her ladies in waiting. These then retire.
The husband receives her at tho door,
leads her to little table, where he treats
her to chocolate or ton, cakes, fruit, &c.
In the midst Of his apartments he has
room, furnished in the most exquisite
way he 10 capable of, which he hollis sa.
cred to his lady, and never occupies un-
less che Is present. This room is his
pride. He spares no expense to make it
as unique and charming as possible.
When the gentleman has received the la
dy in his apartments ii is not proper to
leave her until they have brcakfaatcd
which does not usually occur until .
o'clock.
After the lapso of some days-I DO not
know how me ciy-etiquette requires that
the lady shall return the husbands com.
plimont by similar invitation, nicely
scaled in u porfumcd envelope on silver
tray. He acknowledges the invitation
with many thanks. and if he accepts,
which it is presumed he is quito sure to
do. he first INDUCES in the bath, prigs
himself up III his best array, pntronizcs
his perfume bottles and his pomades and
at the appointed hour appears promptly
at the door of his lady's apartments.
She is there to receive him, dressed like
queen, wearing orange blossoms in her
hair aud on her bosom. She conducts
him 20 little table, where he is offered
wine aud cake or chocolate and cake and
fruit After this pleasant rcpast the re.
gales him with song and music on the
guitar. She also has in the midst of her
apartments room which she holds sa-
cred to her husband and which she never
occupies unless he is present. It may be
supposed that this sacred room is her
pride above all things and TO adcrn and
watch over it tho chief occupation and
joy OF her life. They remain together in
the lady's apartments until breakfast, AZ
tor which they sSain separate. Thus
there is continual! Interchange of cour-
tesies and q perpetual courtship.

Dayitt and the Labor Unions.
NEW YORK July &.

NEW YORK, July D.
The reception rendered Michael Davitt
by the labor organizations of New York
attracted fully 22,000 people TO Union
Square to nigh, !espite the incleament
weather. Thc different bodies were
cheered by the crowd as they marched up
TO :he speakers stand, especial favor be-
ing shown the freight handlers. Upon
motion Of jeremiah Murphy, President
of the Freight.hand!crs' Union, Mr.
Robert Bissert was made chairman Of
the meeting. He introduced Nr. P-I.
McGuire, who made an address OF vel.
come from the Labor Union to Mr.. Da-
witt. Mr. Dayitt was enthusiastically
received. lie asked indulgence for his
weak voice, and expressed regret at not
being better informed upon the labor
question in America, that his comments
might be more valuable. He had been
much pleased by the remark of another
speaker tonight that, while in ireland
Irishmen were fighting tho cause Of labor
and humanity throughout the world.
This land war in ireland caa be justly
called q labor movement. II IS the up.
rising of the laborcrs against n system Of
monopoly that has coniscated the fruits
Of labor, viz: rent based upon labor.
Davitt added TO day we are half way
on the road TO victory. There is to-day
in Ireland distinct labor movement,
besides the Land League movement, on
behalf Of the ertisnns and laborcrs in
cities Cheers AS lrishmcn and as
men who help to build up land they de-
mand that they shall share in the benc.
fits that arc TO accrue from the abolition
OF Irish landlordsm. Now az n laborcr,
the son of laborar and the grandson Of
q laboicr, | am anxinna that the laborers
of ireland should share in the spoils Of
Irish landlOrdism. therefore, | have in
recent uttcranccs in England and Amer
lea declared my conviction that the only
just settlement Of the Irish land question,
the only settlement that will leave the
land of Ireland with the people, will be
one that gives the agricultural laborcr
aud the artisan in the city direct benefit
from the soil. Exception has been taken
to my scheme by thoughtful and sincere
men. DO not let it be supposed for an
instant that my friend, the chosen leader
OF the Irish people, Charles Stewart Par
nell, /, in the least opposed to the labor
movement. He has more than once de-
clarcd that if full justice was not done
the laborcrs he would place himself at
their head and see ,ha. full justice was
done them. am confident that by. and
by he and every other Land Leaguer
will be taking the Same stand that now
do.

Willie's Spelling Lesson.

pointing fat little finger at the picture.
YES, dear! Rat spells the little

"What a silly spellr' cried Willie,
throwing down his book in disgust
"You are not very wise yet, my dar-

lights on the shore and the one Bradlee
carried, he caught the outline of won,-

made him pause an instant, then with q
bound he sprang up the dripping, sedgy
sands and caught her in his arms.
"Myra! are You crazyp" he cried,

she said slowly, as if just waking from a
dream.
He drew her little closer in his arms
and turned her face toward the sea.
About half mile from the shore ship
lay on her side, the waves washing over
her. and tossing their foaming spray
high above the broken masts and bat
tered sails.
"We have been trying to save them.

away from the gloomy picture, which
was, however, photographed on her

Its Ned Bradlee," said one of the
men. II saw him headin' that way
minute or two ago. Can't be he's found
anybody alive now"
"Wait here, Myra; till come back"
Anderson said, hastily. A sudden
thought had sent the blood back with
an icy chill to his heart. Ralph had gone
down that way nearly half hour ago.
and in the excitement he had quite for
gotten him.
But he had full time to remember now
as he ran on after his neighbors-full
time, because the thoughts of q lifetime
sometimes crowd themselves into one
little moments space. He remem-
bered that he had spoken sharply to him
for coming, and babe him get out of the
way, telling him it was "a boys place
at home until they were large enough to
be of service. instead of being in the
way of men who might do something"
o, who in all the world could ever fill
the place-the little place-again, that
one slight form had filled.
But he was getting nearer and near
er, but, with the feeling one experiences
in nightmare, it seemed as if his feet
were lead and he could not lift them.
He hardly dared turn his eyes toward
the little circle of friends and neigh
bors lest he should see the pity in their
faces.
"Just look O. there, I say, neigh

Ben Anderson stopped short and
gazed at the picture. and his eyes grew
suddenly blind; but it was not the rain
nor the spray of the dashing surf which
made them so. And this was

Exercise and Health.

DR.. Jaeger, of Stuttgart, a gentleman
whose theories touching the influence
of exercise and clothing on health have
lately made considerable stir in Ger
many and Switzerland, had his atten-
ton first directed to the value of exer-
else, by his own i'll health, the result,
as he afterward discovered, of too
sedentary life. He noticed that wild
animals, though they had no thought
for their health, are nearly always
whole; and he asked himself: Wherein
lies the difference between soundness
and delicacy of constitution, and whence
arises predisposition to disease? To
solve these questions, he began a series
of observations on the effect of gymnas-
tic exercises on the human body. He
compared the health of school children,
who went through a regular course of
gymnastics. with those who did not,
and he fonnd that the absences from
illness among the former were forty per
cent. less than among the latter. In an
other gymnasium, the difference was
eighteen per cent. In girls school, in
which gymnastic exercises were given,
the absences were almost nil. "Exer-
cise," he says, "by draining the body
of its superf1uous moisture, hardens the
flesh. and hard ilesh is sounder than
soft flesh. Sweating baths produce
like effect. They draw moisture from
the blood, and quicken the renewal of
the body" From these facts the Doc
tor draws the conclusion that hardness
of flesh is the distinctive mark of ro-
bust health, softness of flesh never
failing sign of delicacy of constitution.
The soft-feshed are more liable to dis
ease, by reason of their diluted blood.
Exercise and perspiration, moreover,
are powerful remedial agents, in that
they often enable the body to get rid
of the germs of infectious disorders be-
fore they produce positive illness. But,
in DR.. Jaeger's opinion, exercise and
perspiration will not induce sufficient
hardness OF flesh for perfect health,
unless the right sort of clothing be
worn. The right thing in clothing is
wooden next the skin. Hence flannel
shirts should be worn all the year round.
A piece of moist flannel, he says, laid
on the breast of fever patient will re-
duce the pulse in few minutes from
thirty to forty per cent. He has further
ascertained by actual admeasurement.
that the body wastes less, and therefore
renews itself more slowly, when clad
in cotton or linen, than when clad in
wooden clothing. The reason of this is
that whereas wooden tends to draw the
blood to the surface of the skin. cotton
and linen do the reverse.
The doctor has a theory that wooden
acts as sort of disinfectant. If you
put piece of linen and piece of fan
mel on your breast for a few days. he
says, the linen will have an unpleasant
odor, while the flannel will smell as
sweetly as at first. The color of cloth.
ing is another matter of great import.
anee. Undyed stuffs are the best. and
among colors, indigo-blue and blue
black materials are most conducive to
the preservation of health.-Lo'adon
