broke down into natural tears of relief
and gratitude, "This is more than I
deserved-I have been a very selfish old
man. I have not thought enough of
other peoples troubles-of my daugl,-
ter-and l have misjudged my friends
and thought them selfish. Sam, this
will be a lesson to mo in human good
ness" and he grasped the young mans
hand warmly.
"oh, uncle" said Sam, overwhelmed,
II am so glad you like it," and in his
haste to escape from his uncle's thanks
and praise; he babe him goodnight
most incoherently, and precipitately re-
treated.
But he was mistaken in thinking the
way was clear, for a little figure stole
after him, and q very low but a yery
sweet voice said: "Sam," arrcstine his
flight abruptly on the steps, and then
Argyle's hand stole into his.
You thought you could steal away
without my saying a word? Oh, YOU
naughty boy!f said Argyle, reproach-
fully.
"Argyle-I didn't want you to know.
| was afraid you might think 1 was go
ing to trouble you again." and he broke
down rather incoherently a second time,
not being endowed with SO great a tai
ont for words as for deeds.
But you won'tP" asked Argyle, very
sweetly, her hand still in his. :
"No; l wouldn't take such an advant-
age of your kindness. 1 will never love
you any less, but I won't worry you,
dear. You must not be afraid of my
ever speaking of my love again." and
poor Sam forgot that he was at thatmo-
ment breaking the very promise he was
making.
well, Sam, if you really won't ask
me for a gift for the New Year, I shall
have to give it without the asking. Will
you take it?" shyly.
Sam was not too blind to see the
meaning, and as the sweet face hiditself
against his shoulder, Argyle herself
was taken as a gift for a New Year, and
a new life, together, through shadow
and sun, and call the changes and
chances" of this mortal life.eEUa r.

KEEPING A GOOD NAME.

When Once Lost, u Difficult Thing to Re
sain-A Few Thoughts for the Young
People.
Folly has hardly another form so OBJ
jcctionab,e as that of carclessness, real
CT apparent, about ones reputation.
When a young man behaves as + he
were willing to be believed EAST he
may be guiltless of any real disposition
towards dissipation, but he can not
complain if the more desirable of his
associates gradually withdraw them
selves from intimacy with him. When
Il young lady, no matter how Innocent
of anything worse than ~ determine
ton to amuse herself at all hazards,
condescends to ilirt with gentlemen, or
to indulge in boisterous behavior in
public places with other girls, she
must not be surprised if, before long,
she become aware of less hearliness iii
the greetings of the acquaintances
whose society she prizes most, receive
fewer Invitations from anybody, and at
last perceive. with painful clearness,
that she is actually, ever if undemon-
.strauvely, avoided, except by those
whom she does not wish to meet.
Parents often are to blame for not
guarding their children more carefully
from undesirable companions, and

from forming careless and dangerous
social habits, but in many cases their
circumstances are vain, and they have
the grief of witnessing the evil which
they can not help. Young men and
women must be allowed to decide
many things for themselves, even il
they choose wrongly. If they will not
heed good advice, they must be taught
by bitter experience; and the saddest
fact connected with the subject is that
it is 80 hard to recover ones credit,
even after IL has seen the great blum
der which has been made, and is hearth
ly in earnest to correct it. 1t is no
easy matter for a young man to live
down y bad reputation, and it is far
. difficult for a young woman
Time and patience and earnest en-
deavor usually will do it, however, al
though memories of it and illusions to
it may rise up to plague n OCCASION
ally for many years.
1t needs to be impressed very strong
~ upon many young people that rcck-
lessness and notoIiety can not possibly
confer happiness. They do supply q
temporary excitement, which many
mistake for happiness, but it turns bit
ter to the taste before it is done with.
True modesty and dignity are wholly
consistent with a thoroughly enjoyable
life. Those who lack these forfeit
something of the respect of others,
and, when that is gone, nothing else
can supply its place. The mcrriest
young men and women-many of
whose lives actually overflow with fun
and frOlic, and of whom their friends
hardly can think without sympathetic
smiles-are those who so indulge their
fondness for social pleasures as to in
terfere neither with their own nor any
other PERSONS intelligent and profit
able use of life, who are careful to re-
tain their own self-rcspect and conf
dence of others, and who shrink from
even the appearance of "~fastness," in
stinctively and with their whole souls.

Potatoes in Winter.

The annual loss to the farmers IN the
Northwest in consequence of their pota-
toes being frosted amounts to a good
deal of money. The frost in most of our
winters is liable to penetrate into our
cellars and root houses. The only safe
way to winter potatoes in this cold eli
mate is to store them beyond the reach
Of the extreme frost. There is not much
danger of having u pits and cellars too
warm; neither is there danger of our
potatoes heating or sprouting during the
long winter months. Most of the pota-
toes raised are stored in the cellars of the
dwelling houses, and in Consequence Of
the imperfect banking of the houses. the
cold is liable to creep into the cellars.
Every farmer should at once gee that his
house is properly banked up Ma

Peter Conlan, of 29s Wallace street, one of the oldest Irish settlers of New Haven where he had lived since 1e40, passed away suddenly last evening at his home, probably from an affection of the heart. MT. Conlan had not been sick and his death coming so unexpectedly proves a severe shock to his family and friends. The deceased had for many years been employed as switchman at the junction at Tin bridge and was an in dustrious, honest citizen, faithful employe and consistent member of St. Patrick's church He leaves a wife, two sons and three daughters to mourn the loss of a lov ing husband and father, and much sympathy will be extended to them in their sad be- reaYement,

THE GRIM AND SILENT GEAR

Attracting to Himself the Attention and Fears of all Europe.
 LONDON, May 23.-The sphinx of Europe
 just now is the Czar of Russia. He is alike
 a mystery and terror to every one of the
 crowned heads, except perhaps King George
 of Greece. Millions of pounds could be
 made by skillfu1 speculators if they could
 but get an authorized statement of his in
 tentions for the next thirty days. But he sits serene and silent in his Crimean palace at the head of the largest army now afeld and grimly refuses either to act himself or to seek the alliance of another power. The cur rent explanation in diplomatic circles is as follows: The Czar massed his army at Odessa and in the Crimea at time when the affairs of Bulgaria appeared desperate. He endsavored to foment rebellion in Eastern Roumelia against Prince Alexander and fail ed. If a formidable revolution had broken out he would have an excuse to invade the country ostensibIy to secure peace, but no can doubt that his nominal protectorate over Roumelia and Bulgaria would soon be changed to an actual rulership over both countries. The scheme fell through because all the other powers united in letting the Bulgarian question drop, although Russias protest against Prince Alexander having a life tenure as ruler of Roumelia remained unconsidered. This tricky action by the powers although it doubtless prevented a war at the time soured and angered the Czar to such an extent that he began to gradually withdraw from the European concert. Rolled in his attempt to provoke war the Czar has since remained at Livadia devising means to again find protest for invading Bulgaria. The foreign office and the diplomats here have got over their scare regarding the Czar's so called manifesto. It was not manifesto in any possible sense of the word It was simply "a general order'' issued as a compliment to the Black Sea fleet iafter a highly satisfactory review by the Car. Such ''manifestoes'' are issued daily by military and naval commanders in all parts of the world: The fact that it produced general feeling of alarm only proved that the powers are in dread of Russias future action and that their fears lead them to aggerate everything that comes officially from the Czar. The most probable explana tion of the present delay of the Czar is that he is waiting until his secret agents, who are known to be swarming in Eastern Roumelia, have accomplished something definite in the way of an uprising against Prince Alexander

The family consists of Gehlort, his wife, two boys aged nineteen and seventeen years respectively, girl thirteen and sev- en months infant. All had partaken of the milk except the eldest boy and infant and were taken sick. The usual remedies were admin istered and this evening all were thought to be out of danger. There is some mystery surrounding the case, considerable solicitude being felt as to the whereabouts of the eld- est son, who left the house while the family although the officers are looking for him. Owing to the condition of the victims no ex- planation can be had as to whether any one had an interest in killing the family.

The sportsman with his rife, which is generally of 22 calibre, steals along the banks of the lake and as pickerel darts out from near the bank, and stops moment near the surface of the water, he fires, aim ing generally about two inches under the fish, and if good shot kills it. Many of these fish hunters were at the lake Saturday, and Charles Moore and Frank Peck shot fifty of the fish in about two hours time.

A Female SWindler Dies of Shock
 when Confronted With Her Crime.
 DETROIT Mich., May 23.-A singular affair is reported from Greenville, Mich. James Martin this morning served mo- tice of ejectment upon Abraham Van Horn, a Crystal township farmer, claim ing the title to Van Horns farm A few years ago the farm was sold so Van Horn by Mrs. Lydia Lyons, who said when Van Horn expressed doubt about the clearness of the title, that she ''hoped God would strike her dead if the title was not all right" When Van Horn was served with notice of eject ment this morning he went to Greenville and consulted a lawyer. The latter advised him to call on Mrs. Lyons about the matter, and toward noon Van Horn visited the wo- man at her home. She heard him through, then dropped to the floor dead. Supersti- tious people think that Mrs. Lyons knew the title she sold was imperfect, and that God struck her dead in response to the prayer she uttered years ago, the day the sale was effected. Medical science, however, ayers that she died of shock when brought face to face with her crime

BREAKING COLLEGE RECORDS
Successful Spring Meeting of the Yale
 AthIetLc Association.


 Ysle's athletic young men were out in all their glory Saturday afternoon, and, clad in abbreviated knickerbockers and jerseys, were busy taking part in and watching the events of the eighth spring meeting of the Athletic association. There was enough of @ breeze to bother the contestants in some of the events, but Yale records were broken in several instances, and intercollegiate records suffered as well. The attendance was not large, but the spectators saw one of the most successful meetings held in years.
 The first event was the 100 yards dash, in which A. H. Leeds '87, W. H. Ludington 's7, c. F. Odell 's6 and C. H. Sherrill 's9 were entered. It was Sherrill's race from the first, and he won in 0:10 1-5, tieing the best Yale record. Ludington was second. F. R. Smith 'ss beat L. Brad ner 's9 in the half mile run, and by winning in 2:04 3-5 he lowered the Yale record from 2:04s4. A. B, Coxe, 'S7, the 250- -pounder, had things all his own way in putting the shot, beating F. A. Verplanck, 'SS, and w. H. Seward, 's8. Coxe scored 39 feet 1014 inches; Yale record, 35 feet Ss4 inches L. w. Bond, 's6; B. w. Schwab, 'sS, and W. G. Lane, S5, took part in the one mile run. Bond won in 4:53, with Schwab second.
 w. B. Goodwin 'S9, broke another Yale record by covering 91 feet II inches in the running broad jump. His only competitor, H. L. McGruder 'S9, was credited with F feet inches. The one mile walk fell to G. H. Davidson 'S9, in S:45. F. w. Wentworth '97, was second and H. A. Smith '87, was a bad third The 120 yards hurdle race was the prettiest match of the day, and w. H. Ludington 'S7, and G. B. Berger SS, went over the hurdles side by side up to the finish. Ludington got the race by about a foot in 0:17 1-5; Yale record 0:1sh4; intercol- legiate record 0:171a. For the 40 yards dash, A Colt 'S7, F. R. Smith 's6, H. F. Walker 's9, H. K. Goetohius '8s, and L. Bradnsr 's9, were entered. The race fell to Colt, whose time was O:55 1-5. J. s. Kulp '87, beat s.
