WHAT Is LOYE2

Catherine, so-called the Great. of
Russia, clasping in her. tigress arms
one OF her paramours, would say !:
Love is passion. Christiana, of Spain,
running her eyes along the line of
soldiers until they fell upon two
brothers, in disregard of her marriage
VOWS, would say: Love is variety.
Even old Isabella, who has grown
very fat, and who, with lifelong
skin disease and big wart on her
nose, is now repulsive, according to
late chronicler, would perhaps say:
Love is both passion and variety.
Now what is love in its true sense :?
Why love is goodness and truth, heat
and light. 1t is an emanation from
the Divine. 1t is, therefore, bring
er of tender sympathy and tender
words and looks, and makes the blood
pulse warmly and rapidly; it is a
bringer of new order of things, a
veritable new world, for the eve of
lovers perceive all things in newness.
Even themselves are transformed by
the love which has dawned upon
their souls. Yonder sweet girl of
seventeen has seen a male who mag
netlcally attracts her. She looks
very different in his presence from
her usual self. She is shy, and ever
and anon where the capillaries are
thickest her rich blood gathers. If
you notice her fingers you will per-
ceive that they tremble. Love has
descended upon her. 1t possesses
both her muscular and nervous or
ganisms. Entering her soul as a re-
ceptical it has diffused itself through
out her frame. 1t came from with
out to within and now spreads from
within to without 1t mixes with and
magnetizes the aura atmosphere
which she carries with her as the
earth carries its atmosphere about
its body around the sun. When the
aura Of her lover and her own inter
blend there are embraces, kisses and
and a promise to marry. Ask the
young lovers what love is. They
will answer: Love is life and happi-
ness. If instructed by the angels
they would say: Love is heat and
light before marriage; in marriage
it is the union of goodness and truth,
or nernntnal oneness

ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE A LIVE
TOWN.

The permanent success of com
munity depends in a great measure
upon the character of her citizens,
and upon the interest they manifest
in the business of their own town.
A community without business is a
dead community, and while much de-
ponds upon the business men, and up
on their enterprise and push, a great
deal depends upon the citizens gem
orally. Merchants in order to be
successful must have the support of
their own citizens. And it matters
very little how much attention a man
may give to his business or how
much life he may put into it unless
his own neighbors stay by him, and
patronize him, he cannot succeed.
We speak advisably and knowingly
when we say that with the active
competition in all the branches of
trade and with the prevailing dispo-
sition to purchase cheap goods, and
with the mania among some people
for purchasing goods away from home,
our merchants have hard struggle.
The margins, to-day, in general mer-
chandising are not what they were
some years ago. On the other hand
we know that the profits are small
and in fact so small that the retailer
must handle immense quantities of
goods in order to secure fair inter
est upon the capital invested. We
say deal with merchants and business
men of your place, as they are alive
to the wants of their customers, and
as class they are liberal in all pub
lie enterprises. Break up the PERM
cious habit of going or sending away
from home to purchase goods.

FEMALE EDUCATION.

1t strikes us that our female schools
endeavor to teach pupils accomplish
ments rather than instruct them in
the solid practical knowledge we
hold to be so much more necessary.
In other words, we mean. that the
music teacher, the drawing master,
the painting instructor, and the elo-
cutionist, consume much of the time
really belonging to the teacher of
grammar, geography, arithmetic and
rhetoric, and the many other depart
ments of the commonest and most
practical education. What sense,
Madames, is there in teaching a girl
to play selection from an opera of
the most eminent German composer.
when she is ignorant of the parts of
speech, and lacks information as to
the geography of her native State
Or where do you get the reason
which reconciles you to instruct a
girl in properly declaiming a selec-
ton from Shakespeare, when the
same young lady wants information
in regard to rhetoric construction,
and stands in great need of a more
intimate knowledge of the practical
affairs of life. This is an age when
women are rapidly coming into com
petition with men in every depart
ment Of business where it is possible
for women to do the work. God
knows We are sorry for this If our
way could be made the way of the
world we would have it so that wo-
man should be relieved of the neces-
sity of even making her own bread.
But the revolution Of the wheel of
time has brought the new departure
upon us, and it now too often becomes
necessary to fit our daughters for the
performance of those duties which
bring bread and meat to the family
larder.
Understand us, Madames, that we
do not mean to say that these accom-
plishments alluded to above ought
not to be taught. Far from it Moth
ing adds so much to the influence
and attractiveness OF women as her
ability to do to perfection all these
things. Her voice is all the sweeter
from being trained, her company is
all the more agreeable when her re-
citative powers are fully developed,
her conversation is all the more en-
tertaining when she displays an init
mate acquaintanceship with the great
works of great authors We do not
decry against this we only oppose
this to the exclusion or neglect of
other and more useful branches OF
study.-Athens Chronicle.

GOOD HUMOR.

Keep in good humor. 1t is not
great calamities that embitter exist
ence. 1t is the petty vexations, the
small jealousies, the little disappoint-
ments, the minor miseries, that make
the heart heavy and the temper sour.
Don't let them. Anger is a pure
waste of vitality; it is always foolish
and always disgraceful, except in
some rare cases, when it is kindled
by seeing wrong done to another
and even that noble rage seldom
mends the matter. Keep in good
humor.
No man does his best except when
he is cheerful. A light heart makes
nimble hands and keeps the mind
free and alert. No misfortune is so
great as one that sours the temper.
Until cheerfulness is lost nothing is
lost. Keep in good humor
The company OF a good humored
man is a perpetual feast; he is well
coined everywhere-eyes glisten at
his approach and difficulties vanish
in his presence. Franklin's indom.
table good humor did as much fol
his country in the old Congress as
Adams fire or Jeferson's wisdom
he clothed wisdom with smiles anC
Softened contentious minds into ac
quiescence Keep in good humor.

BYE-AND.BYE,

He was buta child, when one night,
after he had been i'll for several DAYS,
an angel appeared at his bedside and
looked so kindly into his face that he
held up his thin hands and whisper
ed
I'm ready-let me go with you"
'Some time-not now, whispered
the angel, and she soothed him to
gentle slumber.
Again, when manhood had come he
fell asleep one day and in his dreams
the angel returned. 1t had been
years since he saw her, but her face
wore the some radiant smile, and age
had passed her by.
at is time-I will go with YOU"
he said as he started up, but the an
gel way ed him back and SAID ::
"Wait-it is not time
Years passed away. The gray
hairs where thicker than the black
the face was furrowed with many
lines mans prime had passed and
mans decline had come The bright
dream came once more, and with it
the angel.
"Surely you will take me now," he
said as he felt her soft presence. II
have accomplished my work on earth
and long for rest.
"Wait--I will come once more"
she answered.
Other years .were numbered with
the dead. A feeble old man had
wept bitter tears over the loss of wife
and sons and daughters. One by one
they had been gathered to earth
while he waited. One by one the
friends of his youth and of his man
hood had passed into the dark valley
beyond sight and sound of mortal
man.
One night when the summer sun
sank to rest in sky of purest gold
when the great world seemed almost
noiseless -when the robin sang soft
ly and flew to his nest to quiet the
fears of his mate, the ears of the poor
old man heard the sounds of sweet
music afar off. 1t came nearer and
nearer, and the darkness lighted up
with such a glorious light that his
old eyes saw Il procession pass him.
AS he looked and wondered and
doubted, his angel turned aside and
stood before him.
who are they?" he asked.
Friends who have gone before.
Watch closely
BY and by he saw the faces of the
friends of his youth. Then a glad
shout reached his ears. and hands
were waved from afar off. People
broke away from the procession and
gathered around him and reioiced.
There was his wife-tLere were his
sons and daughters. He held out his
trembling hands to the angel and
pleaded;
"You promised me -
When the men and women of earth
came to look upon him in his coffin
they whispered to each ether:
'He must have died as child falls
asleep. See the glad smile on his
face. '[-Detroit Free Press.

THERE is class of individuals be.
longing to the genus homo, who are
forever trying to bring themselves
into public notice by the propagation
of vile and slanderous falsehoods
about other people, or seriously
damaging to communities at large.
They are the chronic soreheads,
grumblers and fault-finders, and are
never heard to utter kind word or
bestow compliment upon anybody,
however well merited, but on the
other hand, they go through life cut
ting and slashing friend and foe
alike with their severe and scathing
criticism. 1t is useless to consume
time and thought in an attempt con
vince such people of the error Of
their way or to soften down the as
perities of their nature by argument
or persuasion.

DON'T WANT TO SKETCH IT.,

account of a teachers interview with

'Same year as my sister Harriet"
Indeed :"
"Yes'um; we're twins"
Il want you to ask your mother

''She dunno. She dunno nothin'."
"That is not nice way to talk
about your mother"
'..She don't keer.
"Why don't she p
"She's dead.

his head over his left shoulder.

THE HYENA WORK OF CHINAMEN.

A horrible discovery was made in
Chinatown, San Francisco recently.
Information was given the City Coro-
ner that frightful stencil was being
emitted from cellar on Pacific
street. He went to the cellar and
found the floor covered with human
skulls and bones partially covered
with flesh in the last stage of decom-
position. In the inner room the
coroner found number of Chinese
engaged in boiling down the remains
of other bodies, while several others
were engaged in scraping the boiled
bones and packing them in boxes for
shipment to China. It is estimated
that the cellar contained over 300
dead bodies which had been taken
secretly from the various cemeteries
throughout the State. As an in
stance of Chinese ingenuity it is
stated that those in charge Of these
operations fearing the stencil from
the boiling pots would be 50 great
as to attract attention outside, had
procured two living skunks so that
the odor of the latter might over
come that of the former. The coro-
ner has taken charge of all the re-
mains.

In the last number of Ba6yhood
there is an article that mothers might
read with profit. 1t is "a protest
against the very common practice OF
permitting their babies to be kissed
by everybody who takes notion to
kiss them, and of inviting people to
kiss them. The practice is full Of
danger, because there is no doubt
that it Is possible to convey to the
babies certain kinds of disease by
means of kisses.

GOODNIGHT.

Goodnight have to say goodnight
To such host ofpeeress things
Good night unto that fragile hand
All queehly with its weight of rings,
Goodnight to fond uplifted eyes,
Goodnight to chestnut brads of hair,
Goodnight unto the perfect mouth
And all the sweetness nestled there
The snowy hand detains me-then
I'll have to say good night againi
But there will come a time, my love,
When, if read our stars Alright
shall not linger by this porch
With my adieus Till then, goodnight
You wish the time were now? And |.
You do not blush to wish it so ?
You would have blushed yourself to deatl
To own so much year ago
What both these snowy hands ? All
then
I'll have to say goodnight again.

HOW TO KILL THE BLUES.
Professor Mathews.

Generally speaking, if you are
troubled with "the blues" and can
not tell why, you may be certain
that it springs from physical weak
ness. Instead of lying on the sofa
and counting painful ideas, if you
are desperate lover, a dyochocdriac
or valetudinarian, you should be up
and stirring yourself. The blood of
a melancholy man is thick and slow,
creeping sluggishly through his veins,
like muddy water in "a canal the
blood Of your mercy, chirping philos-
opher is clear and quick, brisk as a
newly-broached champagne.
Try, therefore, to set your blood
in motion. Try, rather, what a
smart walk will do for you. Set
your pegs in motion on rough, rocky
ground, or hurry them up a steep,
dragged hill build stone wall swing
an ak over a pile OF hickory or rock
maple; turn grindstone; dig ditch
es practice ground and lofty tum-
bling" pour water into sleeves with
the Danaides, or, with Sisyphus; up
the high hill heave a huge round
stone :" in short, do anything that
will start perspiration, and you will
soon cease to have your brains lined
with black, as Burton expresses it
or to rise in the morning, as Cowper
did, "like an Internal frog out o.
Acheron, crowned with the ooze and
mud of melancholy"
