A Lovers Catechism,

A young man of this city, who
possesses large share OF presump-
ton, has been paying close atten-
ton to very pretty girl who had
given him no evidence of her feel
ings concerning him until very
recently. The denoument was
brought about in this way: He
had decided to make her formal
offer of his hand and heart all he
was worth-and then he hoped to
be INDUCED in some lover-like dem
onstrations, the young lady being
so far coolly Indifferent in her man
ner to him. He attributed this to
maidenly reserve, for it never &C.
Cured to him that she was not in
love with him. He cautiously pre-
faced his declaration with a few
questions.
Did she love him we'll enough to
live in a cottage with him? Was
she good cook and bottle washer?
Did she think it a wife's duty to
make home happy Would she
COUSulO lis IdSICS anu WISHES COu-
corning her associates and pursuits
in life? Was she economical
Could she make her own clothes,
etc? The Young lady said that be-
fore she answered his questions she
would assure him of some negative
virtues she did possess. She never
drank, smoked nor chewed; never
stayed out all night playing bill
lizards; never lounged on the street
corners, ogling giddy girls; never
stood in with the boys for cigars
and wine suppers.
!"Now,' said she, rising indig-
nantly, Il am assured by those who
know that you do all those things
and it is rather absurd for you to
expect all the virtues in me, while
you do not possess any of them
yourself can never be your
wife," and she bowed him out
and left him standing on the cold
door step a madden if not a wiser
man. Chicago Post and Tribune.

Apnosticism.

Chicago InterOcean: Agnosti
ciGm is sort of supernatural
knownothiDgism. It's true that this
word is not defined IN Webster's OF
Worcester's unabridged diction
airy, except in the supplements tC
the editions, and does not appear
in the popular encyclopedias. 1t is
derived from q Greek word that
signifies "to know not" Agnosti-
cisms, then, as used by Herbert
Spencer and his disciples, is the
doctrine that, protesting ignorance
Of the supernatural, neither asserts
nor denies the existence of per
sonal Deity, and claims that such
doctrine can be neither proved or
disproved, because of the ipsufi
cheney of the evidence furnished
by rational and material nature to
warrant a positive conclusion; or,
as others say, because of the neces-
sary limits Of the human mind. Ag-
Mysticism is opposed both to the
positive assertion of the skeptic
who denies the existence of per-
sonal God, and the opposite dec
laratiOn of the christian church, or
dogmatic theism, affirming such eX-
iSteaca.

Pad Luck.

The above expression is often
heard. If a man fails in. business,
or if he loses q valuable horse or
other animal or misses q railroad
connection, or happens to any 9th
er reverse in life, how apt he is to
attribute it to bad luck. Yea, truly,
almost all failures are set down to
bad luck, when bad management or
bad neglect was at the bottom of
the whole trouble in almost every
instance. We contend that there
is no such thing as bad luck in the
world-nor is there any such thin
as good LUCY; The luck is all in
the man. Now, WHAT We are here
on this world for Is to learn how to
do things right-to occupy the
time in the fulfillment of high du-
ties no individual is at liberty to
shirt or neglect. To perform
these duties we must be educa-
ted, trained, drilled into them, and
he vh9 has opportunity, and neg
lects this NECESSARY training for any
ayoeation in life, does Rot 4egerYe
success, aad may fairly consider
"bad luck" his estate. No matter
what calling, profession or industry
we choose, the same obligation or
necessity devolves upon US to fit
and prepare ourselves for its per
Re e&ecutio1h This done and
that sAccess which falls to the COM
moH run Of mortals will crown our
efforts.

Mobile was dead, and was one of

falling-off at the last census. Now
she is on a boom. Cause: The peo-
pie subscribed money to advertise
the city am ng foreigners and CAPT
talists. Jackson, Tenn, is attracting
much attention all over the north
by her systematic and persevering
endeavors. A special land excur-
sion from the northwest has been
made up by the railroads, and this
fall hundreds will come. They have
persued exactly the course we have
urged in Giles. A small amount OF
money judieiously expended would
bring hundreds of people and thous-
ands of dollars into our rich county.
