The Willy Widow.

The willy widow 10 abroad in the
land this season in great force. but
one with talent TOR sacred music is
the one who is doing the greatest ex-
ecution. The latest victim reported
is Rev. Matthew Newkirk, one Of the
most prominent Presbyterian minis
tiers OF Philsdelphis, where he has
had charge OF q church for ten years.
The widow in the case is q singer in
the choir, beautiful. of course, and of
hitherto unblemished reputation. A
mutual fondness for each Gther's 90.
ciety gradually developed itself be-
tween the fair singer and her pastor.
Very likely che needed spiritual con-
and pious advice to sustain
her IN Der Loneliness, and who go cap
able of giving it as Der minister?
However this may haYe been, watch
full members OF the flock, thought the
lady was moDopolizing too much of
the shepherds attention in view OF
the fact that be had large flock OF
lambs TO look after. to say nothing OF
3 wife and four children. It does not
appear that anything more than in
discreet conduct has been proved. bat
,he scandal has grown to such pro-
portions that the officers of the church
have decided that it cannot be
,ilenced by the pastors denial OF any
hing worse than imprudence, and
nave intimated a willingness TO accept
MS resignation. Great sympathy for
he pastor is expressed by the breth-
srn over this impairment OF his USE
indeed, the impression seems
% prevail that be is the victim OF cir
and that the widow
llone is guilty. When Rev. Newklrk
axes charge of another iold ne will
iced the advice of the wise man and
beware of some yidders. "-Kansas

TmE SOCIETY YogNG NAN.

The ''gilded youth of to-day is the
dandy of one hundred years ago; ''swell
young man OF the present time is only
reproduction Of the ''beau" Of the
past, and only a mild reproduction at
his best. In both types of fashion the
costume is the distinguishing feature,
but how poor and dull seems the ex.
quisite of this century in comparison
with that of the last. Now, a crayat
aud pin and watch-chain are apt to be
the only elements of gorgeousness;
then the whole attire was one dazzling
glitter. In the old days we hear that
the nice yonng men appeared in plush
satin waistcoats, silk coats, pink satin
shoes, and plum-colored stock, their
whole figure being bedizsned with lace
aud jewels. At the present time tue
effect Of tho costume is rather sombTe
than otherwise, an elegant unobtrusive-
ness being the chief characteristic. In
manners the earlier and late varieties oi
this genus maintain a similarity, each,
however preserving the notifications
caused by the peculiar state Of society
at the time. Then, as now, il we can
trust the ancient chronicles, there was
the facinating eaaw in department and
the same, don't you know, distinguished
air Of having drank the wine OF life to
the dregs, Of having tasted all sweetness
Of the world, Of having gone to the
depths Of existance only to find nothing.

education is bestowed upon the speel'
men under consideration, and he grad

possessing perhaps little less iniorma-
tion than before his course. Every
thing noble in life is distasteful to the
perfect example OF this class, everything
that calls for active exertion COZ temptl-
BILE. His most exciting occupation has
always been "mashing," which was
formerly carried on with innumerable
gallantries and mannerisms, and is now
pursued with seeming disregard
of all mannerisms. Joseph Addison
once had the cruelty to dissect a beaus
head for his own good fame, but hardly
for the benefit of the reputation OF the
beau. He found a cavity filled with

"fietions, batteries and talsehoods,
