What Men Fall i'm Love With.

Men fall in loye, they say, with beau
ty, with goodness, with gentleness, with
intellectual qualities, with sweet
voice, with smile, with an agreeable
manner, with a lovable disposition,
with many ascertainable and measur-
able things, and yet we find them con-
tinually falling in love with women
who are not beautiful, nor good, nor
wise, nor gentle. nor possessing any
ascertainable or measurable thing.
You'll find one hundred reasons given
for fallingin love, or being in love, and
rarely the right reason-which is COM
monty simply because man cannot
help it. He is in love because a mys-
'terious force in nature has touched
him. The woman may be eunbeautiful,
heartless, selfish, coarse, frivolous,
empty, but if the magic of nature
something of the magic, suspect, that
Puck used on the eyes Of Titania-
touches him he sees not one of these
things in their true aspect. Yes, the
Titanias that have fallen in love with
men crowned with donkey heads, and
that have fallen in love with serpents,
thinking them doves, are maryland
all because a diabolism or a mystic
fury in nature that delights in bring
ing incongruous elements together for
che sake of dance of delirium.-Ex.

Keeping Up With the Fashion.

Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's.
1t is, of course, necessary to wear
our hair and mount our scarf-pins and
tie our cravats and set up our cut
throat collars and to walk in the for
eign mode. But it is ridiculous to be
so slow in our imitation. Fashion
ought to have more alert scouts out
in Europe and quicker methods of
diffusing the new styles here. We are
always behind time. Now, before we
get universally and well settled in the
Bond street walk, the English youth
will be walking in an entirely different
manner and we shall be as much out
of fashion as q last years almanac.
How do we know now that it is the
correct thing for a young man to stand
with thumb in each trousers pocket?
1t may be as out of date as that old
and independent American way of
wearing the thumbs in the armholes
of the vest. Very likely when we are
adopts in the high-shouldered, crooked
elbow, rushing gait, the Pail Mall
clerks may be turning out their toes
and sauntering along with sort of
bowie-knife nonchalance, caught from
Texas ranch life We need decorative
young mems societies to keep us up to
the mark.

Yankee Psalm Singing.
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe.
Parochial singing has turned all
colors in New England since theround-
heads jumped ashore. One attends an
"Olde Folkes' Concerto" or "Polly
Bassett's Singing Skewl," and supposes
he now knows how they did it. But
those samplers give us only one color
out of the many. One might as well
think we had seen all the wondrous
bonnets of the changing year from see
ing one. The story of the muSicS is an
interesting one.
Those were ferocious singers, the
Puritans, on both sides of the pond.
AS the mill-girl said, she couldn't
dance handsome, but she could dance
strong" so it was with theirpsalming.
German churches had been tuneful
ever since Luther, a century before.
Much of the strength of his re-
form movements hinged on popular
singing. He finished up the old love
ditties and sung psalms to them. But
the amorous songs of 1900 were so
gruesome that it was no scandal to
use them in worship. "Old Hundred"
was one of them. The English pews
did not sing till a short time before the
settlement of this country. The
stock OF "teunes" our fathers brought
over was small and cheap. Here is
the way they droned it: Do, do, do,
re do, 81 do, re. Do, do, do, re do, do
81, do. This was the primary color.
rich but not gaudy.
For words they had psalms, limping
in tender-footed long meter. They
sang them at their devotlons. They
walled them to the plow horse. And.
when they went forth to "warre,"
they stood in line,and warbled lugub-
riously together, which scared the ma
tives worse than. powder.

| to seek amy attentions Jane longed for
some demonstration of her husband s
| love and care; she had walked home
i'll the rain too often to greatly dread
such exposure; but a week before the
wife had tasted the Joy of being con-
sidered, and longed for some new and
further proof OF her companions af-
| fection.
Mrs. fuckers heart leaped for Joy,
| when at noon she saw the old mares
| head from the lecture-room window.
| Indeed her hungering heart became
quite unmanageable, and entering the
| carriage door, melted Jane sobbed out;
| 'Tm sure its very good of you, Sam
| uel, to. come back for me this rainy
day." and then the tears flowed so fast
that further words were impossible.
Completely taken by surprise, Mr..
Tucker exclaimed: ssI declare hadn't
no idea you'd care SO much about It'll"
'I wouldn't mind the walk" re-
| sponded the wife, '.but-Samuel-I'm
SO happy to have you-care enough
| about me to come!"
The strong man was brushing away
a tear from his own cheek now; his
tenderer better nature was mastering
| the hard, selfish spirit which had long
| possessed him, and with coughing and
choking he said: "Jane, Isee I've made
an awful botch of our married life; if
you're a mind to forgive me, I'll see if
can't treat you from day to day as
woman ought to be treated"
This confession was all too much for
| the weeping wife, and she answered,
| quickly:
"You're not q bit more to blame
than I am; I've been proud and OBJ
stinate; but tell you what it is, we'll
begin all over again"
The ice was now thoroughly broken,
and that afternoon Farmer Tucker
and his wife had long talk over the
past and future. And in the evening
when they were about to start for the
prayer-meeting to be held in the neigh
boring school house, the renewed hus-
band stopped and kissed his wife, say
ing:
"Jane, I've been a thinking that
married life ain'5 so different from
farming or any other occupation. Now
I amt such fool as to think a field
will keep a-yielding if 1 only enrich it
once and plant it once; 1 have to go
over the same ground every season;
and here l suppose you was a-going
TO always 90 as you dld Wnen we were
a counting, without my doing my part
at ALL"
eff I hadn't changed any, maybe
you would always have been as ten
der as you used to be-" pleaded the
wife,
"Perhaps:so and perhaps not; but
don't mean to leave you to try no such
plan. I tell you what it is, Jane, I
feel as if we hadn't never been really
married till to-day. 1t most seems
as if we ought to take wedding tow
er."
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until
next summer for that" was the smil-
ing response.
"I suppose we shall, but we'll takeit
then certain; and I'll tell you where
we'll go, wife-that's to Chautauquy!"

AVigorouy Old Age,

The friends of Rev. Dr. James Free
man Clarke; as, well as others, will
read the following, writtenby him, with
interest.
l cheerfully complywithy your request
to give youa brief faccount of my habits
of living. L find myself at the age of
seventy-five' still able to. do a good
deal of work, and 1 attribute it.,
under Providence, to- the following
causes.
/. I am not of an anxious temper
ament; do not worry I am not to
any great extent annoyed by disap-
pointments or failure; and it has never
disturbed me when 1 have been CEN
sured, so long as believed Twas doing
right
2. have great faculty for sleep
ing. Although ableto keep awake when
necessary without much injury, l
can always fall asleep any moment
when sleep seems desirable. Thesef frag-
ments ofrest are, no doubt, or great SER
vice to me.
3. have always. from childhood,
been fond of outdoor exercise. 1 be-
gan to ride on horseback when only
about eight years DID,. and when a lad
[ joined with delight in all out-of-
door sports-skating, swimming, row.
ing and playing ball, and also indoor
athletic exercises, such as fencing, box
ing and gymnastics. But ali those be-
longed to an early period of my life
4. l have few fixed habits, and am
fond of change. When I have done
anything in one way for a few times I
enjoy it differently. But if this tend
ency has. its advantages, it, on the
other hand, prevents me from receiv-
ing the benefit which comes from es-
tablished methods of work.
5. Although when young smoked,
have not used tobacco, since I was
26. In half a century I have only
smoked two cigars, and those only be-
cause 1 happened to be where the air
was malarious.
6. Finally, love, work, and espec
tally brain work. My professional du
ties as clergyman have been to me
source of great happiness Ihave also
written several books and many arti-
cles for the press, and 1 believe that
this kind of work has been beneficial
to my health.

Burned on a Silver Tray.

The congregation of the st. John
Street Methodist church were treated
a few days ago to s. novel sight,
witnessing the burning of mortgage
bond of $1,000, the last item of debt
upon their church. The services open
ed with full anthem, followed by re-
sponsivereading. glove Thy Church,
o God," was sung with much feeling
by the choir. The minister delivered
short prayer, after which another
hymn was sung previous to the preach
ing of the sermon by the pastor, the
Rev. A. H. Wyatt.
After an eloquent dircourse the pas
tor stepped down from the chancel
and took from within the folds of his
vest a folded piece of manuscript.
'"This,' said he, ''is mortgage. Until
now I've never seen one. Have you
any idea what the holders of this
could do! They could turn you out of
your church, but, thank Heaven, they
can't do it now, for it is paid
Calmly and deliberately Minister
Wyatt tore the paper into slips, and
crumpling it up into a ball placed it on
a tray. Lighting a small lamp he
ignited his paper ball, and while the
whole congregation sang the doxology
the mortgage bond of $4,000 was
burned into ashes. When the services
ended the trustees assembled and held
q second cremation. They, too, have
had personal interest in the debt, in
asmuch as the names were all signed
to the note. Upon the same tray
which had held the ashes of the mort
gage bond the note was burned, and so
ended the last traces of debt once
threatening the St. John Street Meth
odist church. During the service many
of the older members of the church
were moved to tears by the eloquent
and pathetic words which fell from the
speakers lips. The ashes are now en-
closed in a sealed envelope, but will
soon be placed in a silver urn which,
with the lamp, will be enclosed in a
glass case and hung in the parlor of the
church.-New Haven News.

SUNDERED FRIENDS.

Obi was it I, or was it you
That broke the subtle chain that ran
Between us two, between us two?
Oh! was it I, or was it you?
Not very strong the chain at best,
Not quite complete from span to span:
| never thought 'twould stand the test
OF settled commonplace, at best.
But OH how sweet, how sweet you were
When things were at their first and best,
And we were friends without demur,
Shut out from all the sound and stir.
The little, pretty, worldly race!
Why couldn't we have stood the test
The little test OF commonplace
And kept the glory and the grace
OF that sweet time when first we met?
Oh! was it |, or was it you
That dropped the golden links and let
The little rift, and doubt, and fret
Creep in and break that subtle chain?
OH was it l, or was it you?
Still ever yet and yet again
Old parted friends will ask with pain.

Where the Prince Consort Died

London Letter in Charleston News.
A long time ago went over the
house and came to a room which had
been religiously closed for years. It
was opened by special order and there
issued from it q certain hallowed odor
which exhales on opening along-closed
sanctuary. The blinds were drawn
and semi-darkness prevailed. We
drew near table and my guide ex-
planned that this was the late Prince
Consort's room and everything was
to-day just as he left it when he died.
The dust was nearly an inch thick on
his writing desk; a half-used quill was
lying crosswise where it had fallen from
his hand or its rack; there were sever
al articles about, a paper-weight,
a book, and to the right, near the
abandoned quill, a little carved
frame, and in this frame a por-
trait. I think / can see it now-the
youthful Victoria painted by Winter
halter. Her Majesty has sweet, fair
face and rosebud mouth and she wears
an apple-green gown, the lint just glim-
ering through the folds of laces. This
picture was always found by the Prince
Consort's side, and when this sanctum
was vacated forever no one dared to
touch it or even the smallest object in
the room. By the queens orders it
stands to-day as it stood then. The
dust is little thicker on tapestry,
chair and table, the quill still lies in
its old place and the little royal pic
tture smiles as sweetly as of yore from
it's half-dimmed frame. need not
say that this chamber is never opened
on revel night, but could not help
thinking of it as we walked once more
through other lovely but less sacred
apartments.
