We had, so the weather Observers de-
clare, the coolest March this year Of
any year since regular thermometrical
observations have been made through
out the country. There is one adva1t-
age in the gradual coming on of spring.
The piled-up ice and snow near the
sources of the great rivers and their
tributaries are gradually thawed, and
not suddenly melted to create destruc-
tive floods. While we shiver let us be
thankful for this mercy.

A Puritan Love Letter.

Perhaps the oldest, Neutrality-suspicious.,
and with the single exception ofSam Wei
ler's valentine" most uncouth love
letter aver written was one from John
Winthrop to his third wife a short time
before they were married. He was a
Puritan Of the straightest sect; so was
she; the two were equally matched so
far, and he accordingly addresses her in
the strangest adaptation Scripture Ian
guage to the purposes of courtship ever
seen: He begins:
Grace, mercy and peace, etc. My
own beloved spouse, my most sweet
friend and faithful companion of my pill
grilnage, the happy and hopeful supply,
next Christ Jesus, of my greatest losses
Che had lost two wives). l wish thee a
q most plentiful increase of all true COM
fort in the love of Christ, with a large
and prosperous addition of whatsoever
happiness the sweet estate of holy we'd
lock- in the kindest society of a loving
husband, may afford thee.
Being filled with the Joy Of thy love.
and wanting opportunity OF more famil-
lar communion with thee which my
heart frequently desires, | am con-
strained to ease the burden of my mind
by this Door help of my scribbling pen,
being sufficiently assured that, though
my presence is that which thou desirest,
yet in the. want thereof these lines shall
not be unfruitful to comfort thee.
And ROW, my sweet love, let me a
while solace myself in remembrance of
our love, of which this springtime of our
acquaintance can put forth us yet no
more but the leaves and blossoms, while
the fruit lies wrapped up in the tender
bud Of hope; a lutte more patience will
disclose this good fruit and bring it to
SUI maturity. Let it be our care and
from the beasts of..the field and from
frosts and other injuries of the air, lest
our fruit fall off ere it is ripe or lose
aught in the beauty and pleasantness
thereof. Let US pluck up such nettles
and thorns as would deiraud II plants
of their true nourishment; let us prune
off superfuous branches: let us not stick
at some labor i'll watering aud manurlng
them: the plenty and goodness of Il
fruit shall recolnpense us abundantly.
"Our trees are planted in a fruitful
soil; the ground and pattern of our love
is no other but that between Christ and
His dear spouse, of whom she speaks as
she finds him. "My well beloved is
mine and | am His" Love was their
b~anqucting house, love was their wine,
love was these ensign, love was His in
VIKINGS, love was her Paintings: love was
His apples, love was her comforts; love
was His embracings, love was her re-
treshings: love made Him seek her, love
love made her seek Him; love made
Him wed her, love made her follow
Him; love made Him her Saviour, love
made her His servant. Love bred our
fellowship, let love continue it, and love
shall increase it until death shall dis
solve it. Amen"

The Worlds Champion Checker
PLAYER,

From the Elmira Free Press.
A man with a gripsack and a large
cane, dressed like a farmer and looking
as if he had just blown in from the back
woods, came to town. The stranger was
James Wiley, the champion checker
player of the world. Mr.. Wiley is a
Scotchman, and has beaten the best
players that the world has produced,
and now he is regarded by all as the
champion. He is about sixty years of
age. His hair is white and like Hor-
ace Greeley, he wears a beard under his
chm. His deafness makes it impossible
to carry on a conversation with him.
he sits quietly, not taking his eyes off
the board and taking no notice Of those
about him or anything except the game.
He wears glasses, and has an intelligent
and kindly face and good head. He has
done nothing else but play checkers aver
since he was fifteen years Of age. His
game cannot be beaten. He looks away
into a game, and before an ordinary op-
ponent has commenced he has won the
game. He makes a good living by play
ing, as there are plenty of enthusiasts
who willingly give twenty-five cents
to play with him and plenty more who
will give that amount to see him play.
He lives in Scotland and has been in this
country about six months, although this
Is not his first visit.

Prevalence of Americans the
World Over.

"1Nhat one thing interested you most,
or gave the feeling of being most worthy
of note?"
THAT is rather difficult to answer, as
there are a number of things to be seen
a voyage around the world if 4
keeps his eyes open at all. But 1 think
that if there is one thing which attracted
my attention above another it is the
prevalence of Americans in the high
places of the earth. They have t!,.en
foremost in the work of intro iucing CIV
lllzation into the East. The re is a large
and ever increasing colony of Americans
is Japan, in India, in Australia, every
where from Constantinople to Yokoha-
ma. The first man who compiled a
Japanese dictionary was DIR. Hepburn,
an American; the first one to compile a
Chinese dictionary was DR.. Martin, an
American, and DR.. Verbeck, an Ameri-
can was the founder of the Imperial
University at Toxic, from which came
out the great reformers who have made
Japan what she is to-day. The best
translation of the Bible wal made by an
American, Van Dyke, Of Beirnt, Syria,
and scholarly Arabs admit it to be the
best. | could multiply instances and re-
late them by the hour if 1 choose

Pen Sketch of Evarts.

New York Letter: I passed William
M. Evarts to-day on Broadway just as
he was coming from the courthouse with
a number of legal friends. On one side
he leaned on the arm of his partner
Judge Choate, and on the other he was
supported by a spruce young man with a
rather idiotic face, who was dressed
~fashionably in mourning, and stared va
cantly ahead Of him. 1t was Mr.. Evarts's
son. The ex-secretary Of state was
smiling and chatting with much anima-
ton. He is very popular in New York,
and has hosts of friends. His manners
are uniformly courteous and cordial.

Formally of New York Fashion,
able Life.

New York Letter: This small revolt
against the formality OF New York life,
is, perhaps, a step in the right direction,
and may prove the prelude to the pune
turing of other social shams. For in
stance, the argument that what is prop
er in the country in the summer ought
to be good FORM in New York in the
winter may, in time, be applied to in
tercourse between young people of
the opposite SEX. If a young man is
permitted to spend hours tete tete with
q young woman at Mt. Desert or in the
White Mountains iii August, why should
he be prohibited from speaking to her
except IN the presence of other people,
In New York in December? Nothing.
Indeed, illustrates the difference of lie
IN New York and some other of the
larger cities and that in the smaller
towns than the Formally which hedges
ne intercourse between young men and
maldens. In what is really good soci-
ety, mere, a young man cannot ask q
young woman 70 drive or 20 TO the the
are with him, unless he asks one of her
married sisters, cousins, or arnts to ma
tronlze the expedition. He cam
not see her alone aver if he
calls on her, except by accident,
as other members of the family inva--
lably are to be found in the drawing
room of every well-regulated household.
How feeble all this formality is when it
m to preventing what should be
prevented is shown by the ease with
which Miss Kernochan the other day
quietly walked to st. Augustine's Chapel
and was married to MIR. Pell. Yet Mr..
zen was supposed not only never to
have seen her alone, but had been for
hidden her tather's house for several
years past. OF course, he had often met
her clandestinely, and there are, doubt
less. scores of other young women be-
longing to good society who have secret
tete-a-tetes with their male admirers
every day or two, in defiance of conyen-
tionalities, and in spite OF the vigilance
OF the members of their families who
constitute themselves their duennas.
And the most ''proper" young woman,
who would not be alone with a man in
New York for all the world, will sail
with him for hours at the seashore, or
drive half the day i'll the country.
