he fell in love with the charmer, whom he had
never seen. He visited her home recently, and
after seeing Miss Ecce and her mothers cattle
on thousand hills he proposed to her and was
accepted. The marriage, which was the social
event of the season for large section of the
country took place last week, on the stage of the
opera-house at Trinidad, Col, in the presence of
a thousand applauding friends The brides

A SUNDAY-scHooL superintendent and Bible
class teacher is, it seems, subject to other
temptations than those incident to his calling
as cashier or bank teller Mr. Roden. of Wood
haven, New York, was an excellent young man,
who taught Bible class. Among the number
of young sinners in whose plastic minds he was
trying to inculeate moral doctrine was a fifteen
year-old girl, possessed of an uncommon amount
of good looks. It has frequently been noticed
that young women thus favored are obtuse in
the matter of learning the lessons set for them
by wiser and perhaps palmer people. The ex-
cellent and susceptible Mr.. Roden was attracted
to this Bible student, drawn as he would doubt
less have explained, by the graces of her soul
He, however, as others have done in like cases.
found her dull in certain directions. In partic-
ular did she show an incapacity to comprehend
that admirable scriptural injunction to love her
neighbor-and Sunday-sehool teacher-as her
self, though Mr.. Roden taught both by precept
and example So anxious did he become to i'm
press this and similar maxims upon her mind,
that he spent large portions of valu-
able weekday time in the attempt
and finally proposed to marry her SO
that he might continue the lessons indefinitely.
This anxiety in the cause of learning was not
appreciated by the young lady, and she declined
the offer Then Mr.. Roden went out into the
woods and hanged himself to a tree He was
cut down and brought tor by injudicious
friends in time for him to appear at the next
Sunday services There he saw the obdurate
brand he hadfailed to snatch, and the sight was
too much He went out again, and this time
took dose of corrosive sublimate Again was
he discovered in time and pumped out What
he will do next is an unsolved conundrum, but
the whole affair should be lesson to somebody.
1t hardly seems right that pretty young girls
should be barred out of Sunday schook and their
souls lost by reason of their good looks, and yet
it is not advisable that the lives of teachers
should be jeopardized in their behalf It were
better perhaps, that battle-scarred veterans or
pious elderly ladies be employed as moral in
struetors for these dangerous girls rather than
Jealous young men should risk their necks and
their stomachs. Where this can not be done,
however, all possible precautions should be
taken to protect the teachers from harm. 1t is
subject which requires study.

Crushed Again.
Current.

On an incoming Vandalia train was
family of five-a fat, good-natured
man, his wife, pretty but nervous
lady, and, gracious knows. twas
enough to make her nervous, the
trouble she had with their three chill
dreu. The eldest, boy of six, mashed
his hand by pulling window down on
it. A little later the three-year-old, at
a sudden jerk of the train, turned
somersault, bruising and gashing his
head. Then the half-year old baby up
set the alcohol lamp from the window
sill, which frightened the mother nearly
into Mysteries, which was signal for
all the children to set up in chorus.
But during the next five minutes, when
that half-distracted woman was trying
to stop the music, that fat man from
the seat back of her looked on with
never an efort-he was really charm
ing in his complacency. When quiet
reigned again the wife said with sigh:

THERE IS BLACK IN THE Blue
OF THE SKY.

An artist one day at his easel stood,
And sketched with pencil free,
The gold of the meadow, the green OF the
wood,
And the purple and gray Of the sea sea:
And questioned the artist: why
Do you mix with your colors touch OF black,
When you paint the blue in the SKYE"
-E'Only because see it, my child;
am painting the sky as it isl
And he softly said to himself, and smiled:
lit is one of earth's mysteries:
Not the lily itself wears perfect white;
Nor the red rose an unmixed dye;
There is light in shadows, and a shadow in
light
And black in the blue of the sky"
There are films over nature everywhere,
To soothe and refresh our sight,
For mortal eyes were not made to bear
The dazzle of shadeless light.
Our consolation and our complaint
Awaking both smile and sigh:
There are human faults in the hottest saint,
There is black in the blue of the sky.
What then? Are the skies indeed not blue,
Lilies white, nor the roses red?
Shall we doubt whether ever the crystal dew
Drops pearls on the path we tread?
We may dwell where there is no blur in the
air,
No veil over earth, by and by
But good is good always and everywhere,
Though black may steal into blue sky.
We have read from the leaves of an old
fashioned Book,
OF One in the glory unseen,
Whose gaze the poor seraphim dare not brook,
Before whom the heavens are unclean.
And the hope of immOrtals is in the thought
OF Truth and a love so high
That possible evil sullies them not:
No black in the blue of their sky.

A ForIorn Hope at the Best.

The nomination of James G.. Blaine
for President unquestionably gratifes q
large majority of the Republican voters.
In forcing that nomination, however,
while his friends have displayed q
fidelity and courage which must extort
admiration, we fear that they have
acted at the same time with reckless
ness which may not only bring defeat
to their party, but political ruin to their
beloved leader and fearless champion;
for, while representing, without doubt,
a very large majority of the Republic
ans of the whole country, Mr.. Blaine
does not represent, has never repre-
sented, and probably never will repre-
sent that considerable portion of his
party which is governed by principle
rather than sentiment, and without
whose votes no Republican candidate
for President can be elected. If this
election can be carried by dash and en-
thusiasm and splendid leadership, the
event may possibly justify the audaeity
of Mr.. Blaine's friends at Chicago, but
the chances are fearfully against him.
His character has been so Indignantly
blackened and distorted by the news

tra:ion during the strife for the nomina-
ton, and it is apparently SO impossible

What Charles f. Adams, Jr., Says.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., said
to a reporter that his knowledge of the
immediate political situation was very
slight, having been very busily occu-
pied of late with matters quite remote
from politics. The political reputation
of MIR. Blaine, he said, is so well estab-
lished. and his political career so famil-
lar. that it is easy for any one to arrive
at once 1t conclusion as to the merits
of the nomination. He regarded Mr..
Blaine as decidedly an unsuitable and
improper person to be named for the
Chief Magistracy. Indeed, he thought
it would be difficult to give single rea-
son why he should be put into the office
of the Presidency which any intelligent
and thinking man would be willing to
accept. If asked for special reasons
why he regarded Mr.. Blaine an unfit
person for the Office, he should name
all that is comprised within his career
as Secretary of State-the whole of it.
1t is not necessary to go further back
than that for reasons, but if it were they
might be found in abundance in his rec
ord as member and as Speaker of the
House of Representatives and as SEN
ator. The Foreign Policy initiated
when he was Secretary of State, which
might be called "jingoism." but is
sometimes called positive or vigorous
policy, is not one which it is either be-
coming or beneficial for this country to
assume. Neither prosperity nor honor
is to be sought in that direction. Mr..
Adams said he had no doubt that
all those citizens who have been
identified with the independent move
ment in politics will be of the same
opinion as himself in regard to the
untituess of the nomination of Nj.
Blaine, and speaking generally, without
undertaking to name individuals, he
had no doubt that If the Democratic
convention shall name worthy candi-
date for the Presidency. say Gov. Cleve-
land of New York, the Independents
will cordially support that nomination.
The Independents, he remarked further,
are not an organized body. The name

The following editorial indicates very

There will be nothing ambiguous
about the defeat of Mr.. Blaine. He
who runs may clearly read the verdict
in advance: "a candidate unworthy of.
confidence and party too careless of
its own honor to be longer trusted with
the Nations" That defeat will be the
salvation of the Republican party. 1t
will arouse its torpid conscience, it will
stir it to self-purification, it will depOse
the false leaders who have fastened
themselves upon it, it viii send the
rogueS to the background, and will
make the party once mors worthy OF
honor and of power in the Republic it
has so molly served. When the party
has passed through the fires of defeat
and is well rid of Its peccant humors it
will come back TO the impregnable
ground of right it stood on when it beat
down treason and disunion, to position
in which it shall embody the highest
and best impulses of American life, to q
state of heart and mind which shall lit

its feet in the vicious paths, for it has
done some service TO the party. But
