life. had singular power over young
men and boys who were invariably
eager TO become, in some sort his
friends and companions.
Young people regarded Washing
ton, on the other hand. with pro-
found respect into which no feeling OF
possible comradeship ever entered.
The same feeling OF separation, or
aloofness, characterized the inter-
course o! Daniel Webster with the
young.
What girl or boy who reads The
Companion has not a tender. cheer
full fellowship for the venerable George
Bancroft and Doctor Holmes, men
whose faces they probably never have
seenp
Why 10 it that old age Is thus to
some men. however good or wise they
may be, an impassaole gulf, which
cuts them off from all relations with
childhood and youth, while there are
other aged fnces dear - everv baby,
boy and girl who looks on themp
y The cold, dark flow of years shut
the first in and apart from their kind,
as the deep. bridgeless moat does an
ancient ruin; but years have no power
to separate us from the others. They
are us young and alive rs their grand
children, despite white hairs and fall
ing senses.
The secret OF this perpetual youth
in some is the keen sympathy for
others in their hearts, and certain
warmth OF temperament which gives
them IN interest in the affairs OF every
passing moment No matter how old
q man may be. if his energy and
affections remain he will attract
friends and companions. II The fire
still burns on the hearth, what mat
ter if the walls OF the house be de-
cayedP We shall come to be warmed
and cheercd.
Yet how absurd, in the light of this
simple fact, Is the conduct OF the boys
and girls who assume u languid in
difference to the ;,lluire OF life in the
vain hope Of convincing the lockers
on that they are hopelessly blase?
When they rob themselves OF the
chief charm Of youth and enthusiasm,
they are like the heir to kingd ON
who resigns q crown before he he's
worn it.

STUCK AT THE COST.
Lovers Disposition to Change Checked
by the Matter OF Expense.

A Lovers Disposition to Change Checked
by the NIattcr OF Expense.
A change Of mind has often occurred
after the marriage banns have been
published. A clergyman tells re-
Gently OF man having nut in the
banns and utter they had been twice
published asked il he might subs:i-
tute the name of another girl for the
one first entered, adding by way of
explanation: IL think she will suit
me better in the long rum" On being
told that the change could not be Of
fected unless the first banns were with
drawn. others substituted and fees
paid second time, also that the full
interval, Including three Sundays,
must elapse before tho marriage could
be celebrated, the man hesituted. "Do
you mean to say that should have to
begin all over again!" ne asked.S
Certainly" was the reply; 1.-THE
banns must be published three times
in the names OF the persons who are
actually to be married." .And must
l pay all over again il l have the 9TH
or girlp" Yes" said tho clergyman.
We'll, l call that too bad"
The candidate remained for some
moments in u brown study, then bro6e
out with: Then | shall stick to tho
first girl. I'm not going to pay twice
for anybody" He was married DUR
ing the following week in accordance
with this decision. evidently consid-
ering the proposed substitution would
be too dear at the price of double fees.
This did not say much for No. Z, as
would-be bridegrooms are usually of
a1l people most inclined to be liberal.

subject of parliamentary debate.
And yet this is precisely what has
just occurred in New Zealand. The
Government of the colony is anxious

order to execute this laudable object
asked Parliament for vote of fl50.
When the vote came up for discus

OPIUM VICE IN TAHITI.

The brig Percy Edwards arrived

which belong to the Tahitian group.
Among the passengers was Charles
Zegler, who has resided at Taiohae,
seaport in the island of Nukuhiva,
for many years. He brings with him
a native and three healthy looking
half-caste children. Mr.. Zegler was
about to 60 out to purchase some
clothing for them when he was in
tercepted by reporter. He says
that he intends to make his home
here.
"There is little or no encourage
ment extended to settlers in the ISL
and" said he. "It is almost impos-
sible to get and retain native help.
Each native has to work on the Gov
eminent roads six days each year to
paw off tax. The authorities fire.
quently pounce down on farm
where natives are employed and,
ignoring other contracts, require
them to work on the roads.
1.-The natives are dying out ra-
pidly, the result of vicious habits
and disease. Leprosy is getting a
strong hold there, but the amount of
resistance which many of the victims
offer to the dread malady is astonish-
ing. There is leper on the island OF
Nukuhva who is IS years old and
still is able to walk and help himself.
"Opium is imported into the isl
ands and the opium habit has spread
all over. The greater portion of the
Tahitians on my island are confirmed
opium eaters. They use the drug to
excess and it kills them off by the
dozen. The restrictions on the I'M
portation of opium are very lax,

a big celebration on the island o.
