She Should Certainly Not.

The enduring interest which attaches
to the problem here propounded de-
mands that it should be discussed with
all seriousness A young woman, who
sends her name and address, but who,
upon this occasion, wishes to be known
as Stella" asks this question:
Is it proper for a young lady to sit
on the lap ola young man to whom she
is engaged?
Of course we will assume that no
one else is present. Public exhibitions
of admiration Oh the part of young per-
sons, whose hearts are known to have
been interchanged, should be restricted
within very narrow limits. The eyes
may meet, the hands may touch, but
the lips-never. Opinions are divided
on the question whether, within the
hearing of but partially sympathetic
ears, they should ever frame audibly
the Christian name of the other party
to the interesting combination; but
that is not the theme of the moment,
and there is no need of discussing it
now. We are fully aware also that one
school of romantic thinkers
will maintain that what is not
good taste before the ewes of
the world should be forbidden
under all circumstances. But we say
simply that such is not our opinion.
If this budding state OF matrimony
were to be oppressed by the same law
of decorum which cold etiquette pre-
scribes for the colorless relations of
commonplace friendship, we fear that
the mature conjugal blossom would ap-
pear with comparative rarity. Were
no more serious proofs OF reconciliation
and forgiveness permitted to engaged
lovers than are employed by mere
friends, the first clash of discordant
IDEAS would often cause the tender
flower of love to droop beyond the
power of ordinary protestations of de-
votion to reviv;fy. Our remarks are
therefore directed towards those who
agree with us upon this subject, and
we address them with confidence that
theirs is the popular view.
Turning, then, to the main question,
we say frankly to STELLA" and to all
the fair constituents of the endless and
happy procession which will follow her
example in days to come, that as a.,
rule the practice she refers to should
bs strenuously frowned upon as inad-
missible. Treat the impulsive and for
getful suppliant with mercy and Cor
giveness; but rather than wander so
far from tho principles CT reserved
and faultless spinsterhcod we should
advise ouseorrespondens, and all others
like her, even to reject the eaticine
prospect Of altering her state. and to
continue. like the imperial voaaress q

should extend over the matrimonial
alliances of their children is matter
of opinion, writes Texas lady to the
Galveston Ne,rs, but when we see
some of the matches which our lax
customs on this subject permit, we
might we'll be excused if we favored
quite an extension OF parental authority.
That young person of either sex IS
qualified at 16 years of age to decide
so momentous question would DC
unanimously denied if it were not SO
customary to allow girls at that age to
contract obligations which involve their
whole future. The idea that they
should assume. these obligations con-
trarv to the wishes of their parents IS,
indeed, monstrous.
1t seems, no doubt, a grand frolic
sometimes to outwit the old folks, to
marry without their consent, but the
frolic generally proves to be a very
serious, solemn business, and in few
years time there is nothing so sweet
as the care and help which these same
old folks are called upon to bestow.
There is no love so unselfish as that
of parent, and a girl may we'll be
cautious about trusting her future to a
man who would persuade her to grieve
and disappoint their faithful hearts.
On the other hand, it is safe to assert
that an undutiful, ungrateful daughter
is not likely to make the most loving,
patient, and self-sacrifcing OF wives
and mothers.
Besides these considerations, con-
scious worth should inspire a young
man with certain self-respect which
would demand welcome from the
parents of the woman whom he would
make his wife.
There are unreasonable, exacting
parents, just as there are foolish, giddy
young people, but their age, expert.
ence, and the tender love they bear
their children entitle their wishes to
consideration from even the most in.
fatuated couple.
We would hear of very few runaway
matches if the proper sympathy and
confidence were maintained between
girls and their mothers.
The light fancy, the pleasant at
traction which girl feels toward any
nice, agreeable gentleman should be
recognized and respected by the
mother. She, too, has been along that
enchanted pathway.
That feeling, however, should not be
mistaken for the love founded on es-
TEEN, which alone can weather the
gales of married life without making
shipwrecks OF all our dearest hopes.

WRNs1LlNG W1Yn A PANTHER.


of Clayton, Ga, were attacked by
large panther, about one-half mile from
Clayton. Patterson, having lived in a
country infested with this ierocious
beast, took in the situation at once. It
seems that the animal fell upon Pat
terson as its prey, due to the fact no
doubt, that he attempted flight upon its
discovery. The struggle that ensued
and the frantic effort of Patterson to
extricate himself from the clutches of
his unexpected assailant was witnessed
by his partner.
The huge beast with glairing eyes,
sprang with its forepaws upon Mr.. Pat
terson, circling him with hug which
almost bulged out his eyes. The
panther would first shake itself to one
side and then to the other, evidently
with the purpose of throwing its victim
to the ground. Patterson knew that if
he fell he would be instantly torn to
pieces, so leaning against chestnut
tree by which he stood he did his best
to poise himself so as to maintain his
balance. After hard endeavors he
managed to get his knife from his
pocket, Which he opened by clasping
arms around the panther's body. In
doing so he had to squeeze the animal
sharply. The panther seemed to catch
the idea of the old "back hand wrestler
from this movement and, entwining it's
hind legs around Patterson's waist,
there was for minute or two as pretty
wrestling match as was ever witnessed
on the arena. 1t ended in "dog. fall, +"
both coming down at once and rolling
over each other,
Arrandale, in the meantime, was not
idle. He was unarmed, and for a mo-
ment was in a quandary as to what to
do. lie saw no means of attacking the
animal, but was too brave to think of
deserving his friend in such an emer-
gency. He ran over the ground look
ing for some weapon. 1t seemed as if
the ground had been swept of every of
fensive object. At last he found long
piece of granite, sharpened on one end
and heavy on the other. With this he
determined upon a hand-to-hand strug-
gle with the monster. Running up Just
in time to find his friend giving away
from exhaustion, he delivered one
stunning blow on the panthers head.
This attack, from an unexpected quar-
ter, evidently aroused the fear OF the
panther, for releasing its embrace upon
Patterson, it made one spring across
the road, and with piercing cry disap-
peared in the dense forest beyond
AS soon as Patterson had recovered
sufficiently to do so, the journey home
was continued. He did not sustain a
scratch, but says that from the vice,
like grip of the panther he feels as if
every bone in his body had been
broken. The panther on the night fol-
lowing occupied the front yard of Mrs.
York, widow lady. She had no arms
of attack, but had to close doors, bar
windows and sit up in terror all night,
while the beast outside filled the air
with its mournful lamentations At
