Bill Nys Talks to Young Men

Young man, what are yeu living for!
Have you an object dear to you az life,
and without the attainment of which
you feel that your life would have been
wide, shoreless waste, peopled by the
spectres of wild ambition! You can take
your choice in the great battle of life
whether you br istle up and win death
less name, or be satisfied with soabs and
mediocrity. Many Of those who now
stand at the head Of the nation as states.
men and logicians were once unknown,
unhonored and unsung Now they saw
the air of the halls Of Congress, and
their names are plastered on the temple
Of fame.
You can win some laurels too, il you
will brace up and secure them when they
are ripe. Live temperately on 80 a
month. That's the way we got our start.
Get some true, noble-minded young lady
Of your acquaintance 10 assist you. Tell
her Of your troubles and she will tell
you what to do. She will gladly advise
you. Then you can marry her, and she
will advise you some more. You needn't
be out of advice at all unless you want
to. She, too, will tell You when yon
have made mistake. Sne will come I ID
you frankly and acknowledge that you
hive made q jackass of yourself.
A. she gets more acquainted with you
she will be more candid with you, and
In her unstudied, girlish way, she will
point errors, and gradually convince you
with an old chair leg and other srga-
ments that yon are wrong, and your past
life will come up before You like pano-
rama, and you will toll her so, and she
will let you up again. Life is indeed a
mighty struggle. II is business, We
can't all he editors and lounge around
all the time, and wear good clothes, and
have our names in the papers, and draw
princely salaries. Some one must do the
work and drudgery Of life or It wont be
done

A PIucky Horse.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader gives an incident on
the race course at the capital last week
which shows extraordinary intelligence
ON the part of horse. The steeple-
chase was being run. and Jim McGowan,
Ranger and Abraham, three Of the most
noted horses, were the contestants.
Ranger and Abraham started fairly
abreast. Bravely they ran up hill and
down, over hedges and bitches, with
Abraham in the lead and the Ranger
pressing on his tanks. Within half a
mile OF the close, Ranger stumbled and
his jockey was thrown over his head.
The horse stopped moment, and
then, seeing that his competitor was
fast beating him, he started on, de-
ternlined to win the race for himself
without o jockey. He followed the
other horse, which was now several
lengths in advance, jumping the ditches
as he did. and finally gaining on him
until, when the two came to the main
track on the last quarter Of mile,
on the homestretch they were
neck and neck. Then Ranger
seemed to redoubls his speed,
aud shooting ahead of Abraham
he passed the pole several lengths
In front of him. 1t was wonderful
sight, and the crowd cheerod the pluoky
horse as he passed by. Rangers turned
his head toward them as they did so with
toss that looked very like pride, but
abated not one jot Of his speed until he
passed the winning pole, when he
stopped of his own accord, and suffered
his owner to mount him.

Foreign Fortune Hunters.

A Baltimore dispatch, in connection
with the postponement OF the marriage of
Miss Rebscca Williams, daughter OF
Hon. q. H. Williams, President Of the
State Senate. the Baltimore heiress, aud
Sir Henry Herbert. Nj. r.. says the real
cause Of the trouble is said to be as fol-
lows: Sir Herbert has been seeking a
rich wife for several years past He had
been playing the devoted to two ladies.
one residing in New York and the
other in st. Louis At Newport last
Summer he met Miss Williams, and all
other ladies were neglected for her
Miss Williams was attracted by Sir Her
bert's title, and frequently boastsd Of
her becoming q. an early day Lady
Herbert Of Muckross. She was under
the impression that he was wealthy, and
when he proposed for her heart and
hand lie was accepted. The wedding
wss set for an early day In Ser Itember,
bat was postponed owing to the iRabiIi-
u Of Herbert to satisfy the bride.elect's
fsther Of the legality Of his divorce from
. former wife, Herbert agreed to obtain
the proofs at once and did so. but an
other obstacle was then found in the way.
It was discovered that, although Herbert
YVES the owner Of Muckross Abbey, the
s'ate was heavily mortgaged, and. in
truth, Herbert was poor man. When
this became known TO the brides father,
he insisted that his daughter. before mar
ryiDg, should make a deei of trust to
hin Of her estate of $500, 900. To this
Sir Herbert objected. 1t is alleged that
stormy scene occurred at the Williams
mansion a few evenings ago. At the
close Of the interview SIR Herbert took
his leave of Miss Williams and drove to
the depot, took the train for New York
and sailed for Europe yesterday. The
statement that Miss Williams was iu-
jared while horseback riding is denied,
and is said to be only a ruse Of her par
ents to suppress the scandal. The
bride-elect's brother, who married year
ago against his fathers wish, now
oharges the latter with obtaining by un-
due influence his Signature to deed of
trust, whereby be relinquished all his
right to an estate worth $500, 900 in con.
sideration of yearly stipend Of 81, 500.
A suit TO set aside the last named deed
OF trust is now on trial here.

In the first stage. Of the u.nufaotnrs

In the first stages Of the manufacture
OF wood pulp for paper. poplar was re-
garded as prominently adapted for the
purpose, and for considerable time it
was thonght that only that wood, bass
wood and few other kinds could be
ground into suitable pulp. Now, how.
ever, machines are made which turn ont
pulp with equal facility from all kinds
Of wood. The longest fibre is made from
willow, Eastwood and poplar ranking
next, respectively. Cedar, fir and hem
lock are said to work about alike; maple
has fibre shorter than that Of either
spruce or pine. and is quite hard to
grind; birch is very hard and grinds
quite short. Poplar and buckeye pulps
remain white for considerable time,
other woods changing color; birch be-
comes pink, maple turns purple, and
basswood takes on reddish hue.

on its long list of courses before the
Rhode islanders eyes were CLASSY and
mis- speech incoherent, aud sinking
back in his chair he was soon lost In 3
deep sleep. The guests on the oppo-
cite side of the table could not fail to
see the unusual spectacle, and when
Mrs. Sprague looked down to see how
her liege was faring, she turned pale,
bat changed not muscle of her coun
tenance, and weLt on with her gay
chat and repartee. When she finally
caught her fathers eye, one agonizsd
and appealing glance shot from her
great blue eyes conveyed the inteli-
gence to him. In quiet tone the
chief Justice said to his hostess, Il see

the war governor between them, led
him to the cloak foom and stretched
him out on the sofa, where he slum

aud his father-in-law helped him out

heightened color blazed in Mrs.
Sprsgue's cheeks after this disgraceful
incident, she gave no other sign OF the
modification that was fairly crushing
her during all the long banquet and
the speeches, congratulations and COM
pliments in honor of that father whom
she worrhiped. This was single incl
dent in the first years of her marriage,

pound the man, and felt the deepest
sympathy ar admiration for the proud
woman who was made to endure such

Caught Her Betrayer After Two Years.
Philadelphia Record.


A young Allentown gill recently
tracked her betrayer 10 the far west
and hreoght about his arrest and re-
turn to this city. She is daughter of
Lewis Peters, of Allentown, and charges
that she was betrayed by Edwin d.
Kern, formerly travelling salesman
in this city. 1t is alleged that Kern
deserted his victim and fled to parts
unknown. This was in December,
1881, at which time a true bill was re-
turned against Kern by the grand
jury. For about two years his where
abouts was unknown. Miss Peters,
whose health was completely shattered
by her lovers perfidy and his suhse-
quent efforts to destroy the evidences
of lust, determined to make Kern pay
the penalty of his crime. Recently,
while on visit to the west, her perse-
verepce was rewarded by the discovery
that K ern was employed as conduct
or on Pullman Car running between
Chicago and st. Paul. This informa-
ton was given her by friends. VINO
placed the case in the hands OF detec-
tive Smith of Allentown. The officer
seCuIeu WARRANT anu proceeded 10
Harrisburg where Gov. Pattison grant
ed him requisition on the governor
of Illinois. Smith then went to CHI
cago and obtained the assistance of
city detectives. Kern seems to have
been apprised of the fact that the Off
GERS of the law were on his trail and he
kept himself shady. After fruitless
search for about ten days the officers
finally detected Kern at his boarding
house on Wabash avenue. He was
arrested and brought to this city. He
was held in 81 500 bail for his apper-
ance in court. ......

Pride That Had a Fall.
boston Journal.

Those persons who enjoy seeing q
naughty spirit suffer fall should have
been on board one of the sleeping. cars
attached to a through train from Chi
cago to Boston short time ago. Among
its passengers were a middlo-aged man
and woman from the remote west, who
had evidently come upon sudden riches,
and were devot!ng all their energies to
advertise the fact. They were gor-
geously dressed; the woman sported
any quantity of diamonds, and no &C.
casion for informing the other passen-
gers Of the wealth and position of their
family was suffered to pass unimproved.
They had with them 8 Plug of boy
about fourteen years old. One morn
ing, after the parents had dressed them
selves, they discovered that their hope
full son was still slumbering, and the
mother set to work to arouse him. Re-
peated calls failing to have any effect,
she finally had recourse to thumpc and
digs in his ribs, whereupon the boy, ev-
identity dreaming that he was at home
and being stirred up to perform some
accustomed duty, bawled out: You
let me alone, and go feed the hogs y our
self /" A joyous smile enlivened the
features of the rest of the travellers.
