STOP, YOUNG NAN.

Stop, pause and reflect before you
handle woman's reputation with un-
hallOW I'd hands. Ii u woman must be
stoned, lie. not the missile be hurled by
by the hand of a nan-it is cowardly
and contemplate for the stronger to
triumph Ov,r the weaker. This is a
growing evil with the sex, and they
forget that 3 wife, mother, or sister may
some day be the victim of some open
aspersion or sly iunuendo that may cost
a life in aveuginS tue injury.
The estimate you put upon female in
tegrity is too low at best, for you take
advantage Of every ungusrded point to
your attack, and where no invasion is
suspected, no defence will be made. 1t
is true you may sometimes be thrown
into the society Of thoughtless, even de-
based women, but you must not judge
Of the whole sex by the delinquency Of
q few, any more than you should judge
Of the val0r AMI resistance Of an entire
army by the coward y surrender of q
small garrison, or judge Of the charse-
ter Of honorable and reputable citizens
by the humilsting and startling devel-
opments of the police court. Many a
spOtless character has been forever
wrecked in this indiscriminate judg,
ment, and many mans happiness de-
stIoyed by this lack of faith in woman.
Never speak lightly of your friends,
for the blows Of an open, direct attack
are more parried than those oblique,
unlocked for shafts that strike US side
ways. An innocent woman never re.
covers from wound inflicted upon her
reputation. No balsam, however, sooth-
ing and potent, hea The fatal stab, and
its ache and fever are ever present, re-
minding the poor victim that a canker-
worm is ever preying upon vitality and
ssppipg the roots Of life and happiness

BRIDEGRoOn's DILEMMA.

The marriages of "fresks" do not ap-
pear to turn out happily. The insuttera-
BILE egotism Of the "armless wonder"
leads his two-armed spouse to remem-
Der that q broOmstek Is not bad
remedy for pride Of heart. The dat
lady'sn shortness Of breath saves her
husband from seolding for while, but
soon leaves him q widower. The woes
of the Giving skeleton" since he lately
chose bride must make the "wild man
Of Borneop sad and cause 1.-The laughing
hyena man" to weep. Reports from
Chicago about the "twenty-toed lady,"
who also owns to total absence Of
fingers, point to still another freak
wedding" Difficulties suggest them
selves at the start. How will the BRIDE
groom dispose Of the wedding ring? 1t
must obviously go on one Of her toes;
but on which toe? Shall it be the fourth
or the ninth toe of the left foot9 1T is
true when the lady swells with pride
she cannot point the finger Of scoru
at him. The humiliation, however,
that would follow ii she pointed = toe Of
scorn at him might prove more than he
ecOuld bear.

allure our straying footsteps, but we can
not forget the old fireside, however
humble; nor its flowers, however coarse;
nor Its friends, however unlearned ana
uncomely; and in the quiet evening
hour, when the winds are signing q dis
NAL miserere, the memory OF all steals
over us with q heart breaking tender
ness akin to the psthos that maddened
the Swiss guards when the Rams DIES
Jdches was sung. All! no; dearly as
they loved their honor, the love o! home
and its associations was stronger-the
killing exile could no longer be borne
and the disgrace and penalty OF deser-
ton were forgotten in the inconquerable
yearniDg for another GLIMPSE Of his ma
tive hills, and the cid garden, orchard
ard streams.
Hesr the story OF ROB Roy, when
compelled by his great foe to leave his
much-loved heather, and flee for safety
in stranger lands, how his and every
other heart broke under the melancholy
plant of poor HELEN, until he cried out
in his great sorrow, II would not have
that touch of the heart break again
not for all the broad lands once owned
by the MACGREGOR."
'Lochabsr no more" was too much
for the old Highland regiment in Cana
da, for the remembrance of homes
familiar haunts and the graves, an ]
voices and hand. clasps of friends sad
dened every heart and moistened every
eye till they laid down their arms to
forget they were soldiers, and weep as
children"
In our wanderings we may find re.
gions more beautiful, skies more blue,
flowers more fragrant, and friends as
loving, but the scenes and associations
and tender attractions of home will ever
stand first in love and last in memory.

mO8MONISM.

The current number of the Nine
teenth Century contains remarkable
article on .'Mormonism" from the pen
of a distinguished Englishman, j. w.
BARCLAY, Member ofParliament. Like
most transatlantic travellers, Mr.. BAR
CLAY scans this peculiar institution
from an exclusively social standpoint.
He sees that it is an outrage upon the
proprieties Of life. and is surprised that
municipal law is not strong enough to
deal with 1t. While ascribing TO the
Morn Ons industry, taste and skill, in q
degree rarely CONT ined in frontier COM
munities, he is surprised that an inner
ent sense of the social evil does not pro-
cure its own correction, "The Govern
ment of Utah." says Mr.. BARCLAY,
shy Mormons might be accepted as a
pattern by Many of the States; in no
State of Territory are taxes so moderate;
in none is morality and selfdenial 80
sternly inculcated." This estimate is
partially correct, but it is not wholly
true. The morality of the Mormons is
fashioned upon standard peculiarly
their own. In other communities this
standard would not he regarded as a
model. They are temperate and in
dustrious people, certainly. They attend
to their own affairs and let the business
of other people alone. But their exam
Ile is shock to the decencies of do
nestle life. Their practice Of polygamy
is at variance with the moral code of
every civilized society. 1t is true that
this social ulcer Is limited in its charac-
ter. But it is tolerated. To tolerate 1t
is to become responsible for its existence.
1t may not be the logical outgrowth of
the peculiar system, but it is neverthe-
less part of it by acquuiescence. Those
who believe in it are enabled to defy the
law. A social system which is unable
to correct its abuse is Inherently defec-
tive. A system which is above or de-
tiant of the law in one respect Is equally
capable of defying 1t In Others. 1t is
this maintained antagonism of the few
against the convictions of the many
which renders Mcrmonism q hostile
factor in social morality and virtue. No
system can be perfect with such de-
feet. It's example is vicious and in
furious. But the method for its cure Is
an unsolved problem.
