OCONNELLS LOvE-MAKING.

O'Connell gives us glimpse of the supreme moment of happiness in the loyeromance of his life. "I never, '" he says, proposed marriage to any woman, but one-my Mary. 1 said to her. Are you engaged, Miss O'Con- nell?' She answered, I am not. , Then said l, will you engage your self to me?' I will, was her reply. And l said would devote my life to make her happy. She deserved that should; she gave me thirty-four years of the purest happiness that man ever enjoyed"
 The lovers were privately married on the 23d of June, 1902, in Dane street, Dublin, at the lodgings of Mir. James Connor, the lady's brother-in-law. The bride was the daughter of a physician in Tarlee, who was indeed skillful in his profession, but not sufficiently rich to give a marriage portion with his daughter. This it was which caused | resentment in O'Connell's family when they came to know of the marriage, for t was kept secret for several months.

AN HEROIC EDITOR.

After each failure of an Arctic expe- dition, there arises q cheap, pusillani- nous cry to put a stop to the expendi- ture of life and money for an object which is "of no possible practical use." That is it. This practical" age can see nothing but d "practicaP' use; and the "practical" use is the lowest of all. Whale oil, with a profit of ten cents a gallon, is "practical." For that it is worth while to wreck ships or sacrifice life. Nobody questions that. We send our fleets every year for that ten cents ; and lce-nips and wreckages on glacier coasts are well paid for with that ten cents. But when it comes to something so much less substantial as knowledge, mere knowledge with no dime in its hand, then arises the vail of the mock philanthropists that life is being sacri- feed for nothing. As if knowledge were nothing. Why, knowledge is almost the only something there is. Beside it sil- yer is silly vanity. Balance the two, whale oil versus knowledge! Thank God it has not yet come to this that money is regarded with us as the only profit under the sun. There are thou sands of heroic souls among us who have not time to make money, because they have greater things to do; thousands who might think it waste of value to sacrifice life for money, but who would pour out blood like water for an idea, a sentiment an aspiration, for knowledge, for God. We still reverence the heroic. and who thinks of making a hero of our millionaires? It is not they whose character enriches our country, but the thinkers, the searchers, the workers for the true and good. These are platitudes i; but we have to say them again when We see respectable journals crying out agaiYst the ''folly" of Arctic expora- tions The North Pole has got to be conquered. We shall never be satisfied until we know its secrets. The nations are laying siege to it in steady advance. America has its part to do, and must do it. Human life is cheap, is not worth talking about when there is this knowl- edge to be sought and gained. Who will volunteer next?-]N. Y. lndepend- ent.

 But, in three or four days, Mrs. Cor don seemed to have forgotten her re- sentiment, and sent Johnny over for the clothes line.
 It was given and marked down on the paper But in the evening Johnny brought it back.
 "Scratch it off your measly old paper, now says he. "Pap says if ma sends over here for another thing, he'll lick her."
 "Your mother is welcome to every thing she returns in good order, Johnny" said Mrs. Tatum, except my clothes, and those l never lend"
 "Ma says she wouldn't be seen in your old dudsn' said Johnny, retiring.
 Mrs. Tatum smiled, and felt pretty sure her wardrobe would be undisturbed -as it was.
 Several days passed, and then some callers came. They had hardly gone, when in popped Mrs. Gordon, without the ceremony of knocking.
 "I thought saw the Towards and Mrs. Neely come in here, Il while ago. v she remarked.
 "You did, said Mrs. Tatum. 1 "Well, if was you, wouldn't have much to do with them Towards, |" said Mrs. Gordon.
 'Indeed? They seem pleasant" " said Mrs. Tatum.
 "Oh, yss But they do say all's not right there. And, if you'll believe it., Mir. Nicely just goes and goes there At all hours, tool And his poor wife at home, all alone! What he goes for, can't say, but
 "I will ask them, wlen l return the call" said Mrs. Tatum.
 "Ask em?" And Mrs. Gordon looked astonished and uncomfortable.
 "Why, certainly. l shall tell them all you have said, and no doubt they can explain Mir. Neelys visits.
 "Mrs. Tatum, you surely won't re- peat what l say?"
 'I surely will! of course you won't say what is not true, and if it is true you can't object to my speaking of it. always tell one neighbor what another says of another"
 "Well, never did see such a wom an." cried Mrs. Gordon. "I'll just lei you alone, hereafter"
 She bounced up, and out she went and this time Mrs. Tatum felt sure sht would not repeat her visit.
 She did not. When Mrs. Wells came to make her call, Mrs. Tatum told hel that her plan for getting rid of trouble some neighbor had entirely succeeded for Mrs. Gordon did not even speak to her on the street.

AN EDUCATED BEaGAR.


 Curious specimens of humanity pass before the police tribunals. A man named Amourette, just tried at Tours for vagrancy, is type of what the beg gar of the future may be expected to be under the system of obligatory instruc- ton and cheap newspapers. The Judge before whom he was brought was evi- dently in doubt whether the fellow was not indulging in little chaff at his worship's expense. Amonrette, when charged with begging, protested against such an imputation, and expressed his horror of beggars. Asked why he did not get some regular employment, he said, of l returned to Paris ! should no doubt find some one to give me oc- equation. formerly worked in the fur trade, and l f1attcr myself with consd- erablc success. The moment is, besides, a favorable one. We are at the ap- proach of the winter season, which is essentially the period when the fur trade is most prosperous. Everybody now wears furs, and fur is an article of dress that suits every one, from the leader of fashion to the concierge's daughter. It is true that there is great difference in the prices. Some furs cost $l ,000, and others are within reach of the purse of the mechanics wife, and may be had for 5f The trade iS an excellent one. |"
 The Judge "Then why do you not get employment in it?" The prisoner, "Monsieur le President, have plenty of good will, but we cannot always re- alize our withes. Such as you see me. l have horror of beggars." The Judge, "But you do nothing but beg yourself" The prisoner "Yes; but that is purely accidental. was saying that nave d horror of beggars. Every man that has not trade is beggar and l do not hesitate to say beggar ol the worst kind. That is my opinion and l make no secret of it. The Judge having asked him if he had nothing more to say in his defense, he continued "Gentlemen, France is under the em- pire of institutions which seem to be regular and susceptible of stability. Serious incidents have recently occurred and appear to me to be destined to fol low a progressive course, which can mol fail to produce the happiest results have heard that from a well informed person." The Judge: "I do not se, what excuse that is for you. You art charged with begging, and this is no your first ofiense." The prisoner "That is very true (with bow); then must ask for the indulgence of th' Court" He was sentenced 10 si, months imprisonment.

A WOUND FROM A STAG'S HORN.

Throughout the West Highlands, a wound from stag's horn is believed to be very dangerous. It is difficult to cure, and often causes extreme debility and bad health Gamekeepers, forest CTS and their assistants dread it ex- tremely, and say that dog which re- ceives such wound usually dies from gangrene or modification sore, however slight it may have seemed at first. If he recOvers, the result is almost equally unsatisfactory the dog becomes para lytc in the wounded limb or epileptic or if he has been wise and intelligent creature, he now becomes perfectly stupid The author of "Nether Loch- aber" was personally acquainted with a fine-looking young man, an assistant forester, who, in helping to take dead steer off hill-pony's back, was acci- dentally wounded in the leg by one of the tines. He did not think much of the wound at the time. It was an ugly, ragged gash, but not deep, and he had more than once had much more serious wounds which had healed at once quite easily "by the first in tention," as the doctors say. This wound from the dead stag's horn would not, however, heal, none of the salves or ointment or healing medica- ments of the glen had the least effect upon it. It always became the longer the worse, and when Mir. Stewart saw the young man he was on his way to Glasgow to see if the skill of the doc tors there could counteract the dire ef- feet of the stags horn,--[ Chambers s Journal

AUTUMN.

Beautiful summer has gone with it's roses; All its bright flowers have faded away; Autumn has come and new beauty ldiscloses. Each season brings joy to gladden. our way. The trees are bedecked with light green and
 dark brown, Mingled and shaded with crimson and gold; The wild winds are chasing the thistle's white
 down,
 The beauty of autumn can never be told. Autumn is here and tho reapers are plying Their sickles in fields of ripe waving grain; The bright hued leaves on the trees are last
 dying,
 The frost with it's blight sweeps over the
 plain. Yes, autumn has come, but soon it will leave
 uS,
 The cricket's shrill tone be hushed in the
 night; Till "Old Father Time,' who will never de-
 ceive us,
 Bring autumn again, the frost and the
 blight, The harvest is gathered and autumn serene, With tall naked trees and fields brown aud
 bare; In waiting for winter to close up the scene. With it's icy cold touch and keen frosty air. l.ife's autumn will come, and with it the
 reaper,
 And so, with the seasons, we're passing
 away; Wen plant in our hearts more truths and still
 deeper,
 To light up our paths and point us the way. Where summer still blooms with tairest of
 flowers,
 Our souls pave way to that beauteouS
 land Thero we shall live in its sweet-scented bowers, And dwell with our friend. in bright
 angel band.

A RIG BITE.

 So round, and big, and red; 1t seemed, beside dainty Wee Nellie,
 To almost eclipse her head. Beside her young Neddie was standing
 And Neddie loves apples, too, An, Nellie" said Neddie, Give Brother A bite of your apple -ah, do!" Dear Nellie held out the big apple;
 Ned opened his mouth very wide So wide that the startled red apple
 Could almost have gone inside And, oh! what bite he gave it.
 The apple looked small declare; When Ned gave it back to his sister,
 Leaving that big bite there. Poor Nellie looked frightened moment, Then thought made her face grow bright Here, Ned, you can take the apple
 I'd rather have the bite."
