idly looking at the passers by who
thronged the thoroughfare, says The
Philadelphia Press. He wore q derby
hat, dark top coat and carried a
stick of the most approved pattern.
His clothing was cut in the latest
style, and his heavy Vandyke beard
proclaimed him to be man of fash
ion. For convenience he may be
called Mr.. Clinton and he lives in New
York. Mr. Clinton was left an or
phan with $50, 600 income when he
was IA years old. Since then he has
been everywhere and has seen every
thing. Yet, as he said last evening,
he is the most miserable man on earth.
He never married, because so many
girls laid in wait for his money. thus
making him suspicious. He doesn't
know what to do or how to kill time.
He is by no means unknown as an
ethnologist, and is an authority on GER
tain gases. He is musical and fond of
pictures and books. But everything
bores him. just now he is especially
melancholy. Last summer one of his
cousins was taken seriously ill, and a
nurse from Philadelphia was called
into requisition. The nurse is a mag
nifcent specimen of womanhood, tall,
1.-THE and agile, possessing eyes and
teeth and hair that perfectly charmed
young Mr.. Clinton, who had been all
over tho world. Her manners and
conversation captivated him. He fell
in love, proposed and was rejected.
Since July he has been ''getting mis-
erabler and miserabler," so he says,
and has proposed twice more to the
nurse. Philadelphia Press.

GOLDEN AGE PREDICTED.
We can foreses the day when thousands Of

carried of by the deadly germ Of diphtheria.
Man Will then be master Of death. And when,
thanks to an evolution on parallel lines, prog
ress snail have marched ahead in the direction
Of morality ~ well az in the direction Of
biology, and when one of the gates of death
shall have been closed by medical science
then, thanks TO the progress Of social science,
another gate-blood stained, too--the gate Of
fratricidal woes will be closed in its turn; new
race viii necessarily be evolved and a new
golden age will appear, and such will be the
heritage which we shall be enabled to bequeath
