BACHELORS IN LOVE.
A Clever Picture Drawn, of Course, BY an
Artful Woman.

A bachelor in love loses dimple or
two, grows melancholy, reads poetry
and looks at the moon; is nervous
about his necktie and his gloves; con-
suits his aunt as to what kind of hats
girls most admire; changes the style OF
his frequently. but is never satisfied.
His countenance is as changeable as
his necktie. Now she has smiled, and
he is radiant; now she has frowned.
and he wears a furrowed brow, and
looks in at the apothecary's windows
and thinks of laudanum.
II his laundress sends him home a
bosom not quite perfect, it grieves him
to the hearts core. He passes the most
golden-haired damsel without a glance.
He goes no more to see burlesqucs.
His bouquets are anonymously sent to
the object of his alteration. He is
hourly afraid of revealing his condi-
ton of heart. but makes it manifest
unconsciously to all beholders. Fiend-
ish passions dwell in his breast. He
hears that she has been at the opera
with young Welkens. and wants to kill
him. He says tiercely IN society that
he approves of dueling. and that,
should he call man out. he would aim
at his heart
He would like very much to W ork
hard and make Il fortune. but he can
not do it. He horrities his employer
by entering as an item in the ledger,
1000 Angels He is seen to clasp
his brows suddenly at dinner-time. to
the horror of the waiter. who, belicv-
ing him to be choking, beats him on
the back and offers him water. He
goes surrep,itiously to so-called clair
voyants. who describe "a light-com-
plccted young lady. sir. and her face
turned your way, and her heart in her
hand, if only you can get over the
cross betwixt YOU"
He thinks the cross is young We'll
kens, and grows dangerous.
Suddenly you see the bachelor in
love amazingly altered. He smiles,
looks happy. eats comfortably, and
mods to his old enemy Welkens. Then
you may be sure that he has somewhere
IN his bosom certain carte de rtsite,
and that the original of the picture has
advised him to "ask Pa

Even a great living tenor has been
known to retire in the middle of q
song he had been singing every week
for aim 81 a lifetime, because all
memory of the words he wanted was
gone. Such a case of sudden forget
fulncss took place in one of the Lon

played, but the singer stood silently
and apparently confused. The SYM
phony was repeated. but the same
silence and confusion on the part of
the vocalist took place in rather an in
creased degree. The symphony was
performed Il third time but all to no
purpose. A length MI tombstone
came forward to the front of the stage
and thus addressed the audience:

their swindled creditors were angry
enough to soak them in their own vat.
Some of these creditors attached the

whole swindle was exposed. The man

victims. and he did not hesitate to ex-

THE COMING OF THE KING.

"1Asy shcH sss As Hing IN Rs beauty"
All day long We watched and waited
Waited at our darling's side,
While her frail bark slowly drifted
Out upon shoreless tide.
We had wept In bitter anguish,
we had prayed with burning tears.
While our hearts drew back afYr,phted
Looking down the lonesome years,
All In vain our tears and pleading,
All In vain our sorrowlng;
we could only watch and listen
For the coming Of the King.
Oh, the terror Of the coming
W the grim and chastity foei
"On, the darkness OF the pathway
Where our daring's feet must gol
Oh, the glory Of the summer,
Bending skies so blue and clear,
ana the splendor Of the roses,
ana the bird songs far and near.
Must she leave this world Of beauty,
All the JOY our love could bring,
And lie down In darksome silence
At the coming Of the King!
Came he solemnly and slowly
As q lord who claims his own,
Touched the white hands clasped together
And they grew as cold as stone.
suddenly the blue eyes opened.
While our hearts grew faint with fear,
In their depths in solemn rapture "s
Faith and hope was shining clear.
Did she see the golden portals!
Hear the songs the blessed sing?
""Perfect peace" she softly murmured,
At the coming Of the King.
When the days arc long and lonely,
Summer days most sweet and fair,
When we gather In the cleaning
Round our darling's vacant chair,
say we softly to each other:
"Fairer scenes than we can know,
aSweeter airs and softer voices,
Made our darling glad to CO."
Shines her happy face upon US,
Still smile is lingering.
so in patient trust we tarry
For the coming OF the King.

Female Suffrage and License.

The passage of a Woman's License
Suffrage bill by the House of Repre-
sentatives of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature will be hailed by the advocates
of temperance and of female suffrage
as an encouraging step towards the
object for which both are working.
The measure gives to women the right
to vote whenever the question of refus-
ing or granting licenses to sell intoxi-
eating liquors is to be voted on under
the local option law. 1t received, how
ever, only eight majority in a vote OF
1872, and its success in the Senate is
thought to be doubtful
The advocates of the proposition
have not pressed its adoption on the
ground that it would be a second steI
towards full female suffrage having
been the first. This view of the bill
they have endeavored to keep in the
background, and have asked suppoat
for it for the reason that as women are
the chief sufferers from the evils o
intemperance they ought to have 1
voice in deciding the question of th'
sale and prohibition of liquor. Th,
opposition to the bill has come partly
from the liquor interest but mainl,
from those who believe that it is onl,
an advance towards complete womal
suffrage and that even if adopted
would not be taken advantage of by tn
better class of female voters.

WHOLE NO. l,7O5.
The Personal Liberty Bills De-
feated.

There is no liquor-selling in New
York on Sunday under the sanction of
the law. The efforts of the so-called
Personal Liberty party to open the sa-
looms on that day have been defeated
and defeated overwhelmingly. This is
a result over which not only the Chris
tian portion of the community, but
every lover of a peaceful and orderly
Sunday will rejoice. The struggle in
the Assembly, was an interesting one.
The Personal Liberty party's desire
was embodied in bill offered by Mr..
ROesch, of New York city. An adverse
report was presented by the Excise
Committee, and this report was accept
ed by vote of II to 81. Fourteen
Democrats (but not one from New
or BrOOklynl voted with the majority,
and one Republican voted in the mega
tive. To John Reitz, of Brooklyn, be-
longs this unenviable distinction. Reitz
keeps saloon himself.
In spite of the strong Endorsement
of so good an American as Mayor
Hewitt the attempt to legalize the
European Sabbath met with a dis
heartening failure. If the New York
Assembly could only be relied upon to
vote as strongly for a positive temper
ance measure the Crosby high license
bill would be certain to pass.

A Rival to the Telephone.

Prof. Gray, whose claim to priority
of invention in producing a telephone
capable of articulate speech has just
been decided by the Supreme Court in
favor of Bell, now announces that he
has perfected an invention which, in
many cases, will supersede the use of
the telephone. He calls his new in
ventiOn the telautograph." He states
that he has tested it over and over
again, and on next Saturday proposes
to give an exhibition of its powers to
some gentlemen from the East, at
Highland Park, his residence, in Lake
county, Illinois. By my invention"
he writes to a friend in Chicago, "you
can sit down in your Office, take pen
Gil in your hand, write a message to
me, and as your pencil moves, pencil
here in my laboratory moves simulta-
neOusly, and forms the same letters
and words in the same way. What
you write in Chicago is instantly repro
duced here in fac-simile. You may
write in any language, use a code or
cipher, no matter, fac-simile is pro-
duced here. If you wish to draw a
picture it is the same, the picture is
reproduced here. The artist of your
newspaper can, by this device, teie-
graph his pictures of railway wreck
or other occurrence just as a reporter
telegraphs his description in words. "
The two pencils-the one in the office
of the writer, the other in the Office
where the message is delivered-mOve
spontaneously, and there is no reason
he says, why a circuit of five hundred
miles cannot be worked as easily as
one of ten miles" The process pre-
supposes, as in the case of the tele
phone, that the instruments shall be
alike at both ends of the line, and thai
they shall be brought into connection
with each other. "When one person
wishes to communicate with another
by the telaugraph he pushes button
which rings an annunciatOr in the ex
change, or in the Office of the person
with whom he wishes to converse
Then the first man takes his writing
pencil from its hOlder-and this ma,
be pen or pencil-and writes his mes
sage upon a roll of paper. As h
writes so writes the pencil at the othe
end of the wire" The instrument, W
are told, will not cost more than fiftee
or twenty dollars, and it is elaine
that this form of cOrrespondence-th
handwriting being an exact fac-simil
of the person at each end of the wir
will admit of confidential commun
/ cations. and will obviate possible mis-
understandings which may arise whe

Among well-known female charac-
ters in Boston is maiden lady of un-
certain years who is perpetually going
to be married. At precisely 2.30 p. m.
each day, she makes her appearance at
the corner of Boylston and Charles
streets and strikes across the Common
toward the old Congregational Church,
on Birthstone corner. She is dressed
as for a wedding and by her airs and
graces attracts a crowd about her in
front of the Hotel Pelham, where she
finally stops to wait for a car. Hav-
ing boarded the conveyance for South
Boston, she affords entertainment to
her fellow-passengers by all sorts of
queer antics. From beginning to end
she never says a word, but it is plainly
to be seen from her manner and gay
attire that she is on her way to meet
her fiance. At a certain street she in
variably gets out and takes the next
car back, to go through precisely the
same performance the following day.
Behind the story of this poor wOman's
partly -blighted intellect there may be
nay, probably is, a sad tale, but what
It is none of the hundreds who daily
see her know.
