4 LITTLE ROMANCE OF
BROADWAY.

Three pretty young girls from
jersey City had left the ferry boat
to walk up to the elevated railroad,
says ANEW York letter, and un-
luckily were provided with only one
umbrella. The narrow sidewalk
made it almost impossible for the
three to walk abreast, and conse-
quently one of them, who was ad-
dressed as Annie, received all the
drlppings from the caves of the UNI
brella upon her unselfish head.
a gentleman walking behind
them noticed this. AMI tried. as un-
obtrusiyely as possible, to shelter
her with his own. For block or
SO she ignored the attempt, but
finally was forced, in crossing the
street, to accept the courtesy, which
she aud with an embarrassed bow.
1t happened that the youth had
been well brought up, and under
stood her fear lest he should in any
way take advantage of his courtesy
to be lmpcrtinent, and being of Il
mlschleyous turn of mind, he wait
ed until he caught her eye, as she
|. .oked slyly up, when, assuming
that far" look 81 often seen on the
faces OF the deaf and dumb. he pa
thetically- touched his lips aad
shook his head.
The girl looked so immensely re-
lieved that he came near laughing
right out. especially when announc-
lLS that lie was speechless she show
ed she wasn't, by quietly observing
to one of her friends, "Oh, Mary,
isn't it too bad that this handsome
young man is deaf and dumb?"
Mary thought it was, and won
dered how it was that lie ever got
along in tue world; and much to
the amazement of this knight Of the
umbrella, the three proceeded to
discuss him girl-fashion, aud from
the color of Ills eyes to the cut of
his clothes he was fully criticised,
Annie" declaring that. as hus-
band, he would be sans reprOche,
never swearing, never scolding,
making silence golden.
When they reached the station
the three girls bowed and smiled
and grinmacod their gratitude,
when, to their profound horror, the
youth, with sweet smile, raised
his hat, remarking, with painful
listinctness, that he "was very hap
ply to have been OF service +" With
II suppressed shrek, the merry
maids rushed up the winding stairs,
and the youth walked on, whistling

A BEAUTIFUL STORY.
Coleriige relates a story to this

Coleriige relates a story TO this
effect: M
Alexander, during his marchinto
Egypt, came to people dwelhug
in peaceful huts, who knew neither
war nor conquest. Sold being Of
fered 10 Linn, he refused it. saying
that his sole object was to learn the
manners and customs of the inhab-
ltaEts.
"s5tay with u.s." said the chief,
''as long as it pleaseth thee"
During this interview with the
African chief, two of his subjects
brought Il case before him for iudg-
ment. The dispute was this. The
one had bought piece Of ground
which, after the purchase. was
found to contain treasure, for
which he felt himself bound TO pay.
The other refused to receive any
thing, stating that he had sold the
ground with what it might be found
to contain, apparent Ner concealed.
Said the chief, looking at the one,
You have "a son" and to the other,
You have "a daughter; let them be
married, and Nthe treasure given
them as a dowry."
Alexander was astonished.
."And what" sad the chief,
"would have been the, decision in
your country"
I'VE would have dismissed the
parties aud seized the treasure for
the kings use"
"And does the sur shine in your
country" said the chief; 'tdoes the
rain fail there. Are there any cattle
there which feed upon che \ herbs
and green grass"
Certainly" said Alexander.
"Ah, said the chief, 1T is for
the sake OF those innocent cattle
that the Great Being permits the
sun to shine, the lain 10 fail and
the grasstto grow in your country"

HOW HE APPLIED 1T.

''How far may we go in con-
formity to the world?" is question
that is frequently asked III men S
hearts. If not Ill SO many words.
Have you never heard the story of
a lady who wanted a .coachman:
Two or three called to see her
about the situation, and in answer
to her inquiries, the first applicant
said
Yes. madam, you could not
have better coachman than my
self"
She replied
How near do you think you
could drive to danger without an
accident?"
Madam, I could go within a
yard of it. and yet you would be
perfectly safe"
sVers WE'LL" she said, you will
not suit me
The second one had heard the
question uSon which the drs. one
had been rejected, and therefore he
was ready with his answer:
Danger, madam, why, I could
drive within hairs breadth, and
yet be perfectly safe"
"Then you will not suit me at
all.
When number,three came in he
was asked
care You a good driver?"
"Well," he replied, Il am care
full, and have never met with an ac-
cident. "
But how near do you think you
could drive to danger?"
Madam" he said, ''that is a
thing | never tried; l always drive
as far from danger as ever I can"
The lady at once replied
"You are the kind Of n coachman
I want. and l will engage you at
once"
Get such ccachman as that to
guide your own heart and lead your
own character. Do not see hcw
near you Can go to sin, but see how
far you can keep away from it.

A Kansas story is about three
mice that rolled an egg down a
stairway without breaking it One
held the egg i'll a close embrace,
while the others rolled him like a
ball from one step to the other. al

his back, thus protecting the egg.
The man who says he saw it does
not hesitate to add that they rolled
the egg to small hollow in the floor,
which steadied it while they cut
through the shell and emptied it.

crossed and outgrown the errors and
bigotry Of their fathers, why not
give the rising generation Of Utah
time also to exchange error for
truth. A nation of over $4,000, 900,
with an annual increase of ten
times the number of the Mormon
population, can afford to eradicate
their errors in generous manner.
Give them their school lands, estab-
lish and assist in supporting colleges

Of outside settlers gathering around
them the Mormon problem will solve

Notwithstanding; but whatever a
mans belief, whether saint or sin
ner, bigot or infdel, his opinions are
unchanged by force, and any law
passed against the acknowledged
creed of any church will only
cement its members in firmer union
and increase their devotion to the
prescribed doctrine.
One item more, as I wish to deal
with facts and figures. Subtract
the census of the Mormon church
from that of the territory, and it
will leave about 10000 outsiders,
probably 10000 voters. Of these,
some 1900 were interested enough
in the Mormon question to vote for
Campbell; the balance were too in
different 20 vote, or voted for Can
non, which shows that only small
fraction of the Gentle element are
dissatisfied with life in Utah, and

aspiring demagOgues, who decry
polygamy as cheap way of adver-

ITS cLEARNEss OF STATEMENT.

HARRISBURG 10Cgrdph
The second message of President Arthur
will commend itself by the absence of rhct-
oric and its clearncss of statement. How
ever much we may approve or disapprove its
suggestions, there will be no difficulty in un-
derstanding them. Plain and practical the
questions before the country and his position
are stated in an open, manly way, character
isic of the man. Recognizing the drift of
public opinion he has the courage and pa
triotlsm to suggest legislation that will meet
the demands of the people. The sad cir
cumstanccs surrounding his elevation to
power, and the bitterness existing between
the opposing factions in his own party have
madc his path Il very difficult one. lie has
not at all times received that universal sup
port which every Chief Executive has Il right
to expect, until by weakness or lack of in
tcgrity he has shown his unworthness. lie
has oiten been misrcpresented and unfairly
criticised, but in nothing which he has done
has thorc been sufficient reason for such treat
mcnt The present message is u fit illustra-
ton of his life. Clear, open, with no con
cca,mcnts, he takes his position with the
courage Of true patriotism. Promptly recog-
nizing the mandate of the people he shows
that it is not impossible for the President of
th' United States to know the will of those
whoscright it is to rule.

FROM THE ENEMY.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


The message Of President Arthur, delivered
to Congress Yesterday, is pcrfunctory docu-
mcut of not much interest or consequence
As a State paper, if hash of the department
reports may be dignifcd with such name,
it does not rank up to the message Of last
year Still, it is about as good as the average.
Presidents messages these days are mainly
made up Of the condcnsations of reports made
by the members of the Cabinet, and offer in
9 fcv words the salient points of information
in long and tedious pamphlets. The Prcsi-
dCrt usually has little to say. Mr.. Arthur's
message is barren to a disappointing degree
lie rcitcratCs few recommendations and
suggestions made a year ago, but his commu-
uiratiOn is not conspicuous for any definite
lilc Of policy, and throws no light or hope on
the future of his party. Ho is spiritless, and
talks to Congress like a man who had his hat
il his hand ready to apologize for daring to
make any suggestion to the assembled states
men of the country. He is not robust. If he
intends TO lead he thinks best to conceal his
qualities OF leadership.

The message will be found to be "meaty" "
and suggestive throughout, and gives to Con-
gress the on tline of policy which, iffollowed,
will rebound to the benefit of the country and
thereby to the benefit ofthe Republican party.
President Arthur has shown himself ready
and anxious to meet the demands of the pco-
pie. The responsibility is now with Congress,
and to that body will the eye of the Nation be
directed. The President has spoken and
spoken we'll. What response will Congress
