Wild Geese and Electric Lights.

The night was still and dark, and as
the birds flew over the city some Of the
geese would get bewildesed by the bright
light Of the electric lamps and circle
round and round the light, squawking as
if lost. The ducks do not seem to care
for the excitement of city life and 90
quietly on their way, but a goose is so
supremely curious that he can hardly
pass an electric light without flying round
and examining it.
About two years ago there was a ter
rife thunder storm, during which a flock
fgeese, numbering probably 200, enter
ed the city and soon became bewildeTed
by the storm. Some Of them, it said,
even lit on the roofs Of houses. but GER
tain it is that at half-past 4 or ) in the
morning there was a great flock of geese
sitting in the light Of the arc lamp, on
the corner Of Main and First streets, in
the center OF the town. This, Of course,
is an exceptional case, and would proba-
bly, never have happened if it had not
been for the stolm. but Why they should
be so irresistibly attracted toward light
as to lose all fear Of mans habitatiOns,
and to alight in the middle Of the street
has always been a wonder to me.-FOIest

Polish Emigration.

The great event Of the year 1890 in
Poland was the emigration fever, which
commenced in the spring, and assumed
alarming proportions in July, August
and September It was stimulated by
agents representing Brazilian emigration
society according to the British Consul
General Of Warsaw taking advantage Of
the ignorance, credulity and superstition
of the Polish peasantry and lower class
generally; they worked among them
with a success which seems almost in
credible, and inveigled thousands ofthese
unfortunate beings out Of the country TO
what are described as unheard of suffer
ings
The Consul General cannot state the
number of emigrants, even approximate
~, but there is no doubt that it was very
considerable, and that in many parts of
Poland whole villages and a very large
proportion of farm labcrers placed them
selves in the hands of the emigration
agents and leff the country, and did also
q number of factory hands. At first it
was attributed entirely TO the tempta-
tons held out by the agents, but it has
since transpired that want of work and
extremely low wages facilitated their
task among that part of the agricultural
population which does not possess lSnds
ofits own, and lives from hand 10 mouth.
All the reports that have reached Pc
land relative to the fate of the emigrants
showt hat they are exposed to great hard
ships, both on the journey out and on
landing in the country. Those that have
managed 10 return tell the most doleful
tales, and the public have become so in
terested in the fate Of their unfortunate
countrymen that subscription has been
got up for the purpose Of helping them to
repatriate, and a gentleman Of high
standing and independent means has
been appointed to go out to Brazil to as
sist them in doing so with the funds sub
scribed. Notwithstanding all this, the
emigration commenced again about the
middle Of March last in certain districts.
1t is estimated that one-third of the pop
ulation Of the Kutno district has already
gone, and more are on the move.
Blu; it is now stated authoritatively
that the Government of Brazil has issued
orders that no more Polish emigrants are
to be allowed to land there, and this viii
no doubt, put a stOptO the exodus more
effectively than any eoercive measures
which could have been applied in Poland

Wonderful Changes.

In one of the New England states there
is quiet little country town whittier the
railroad has not penetrated, in which no
new house has been built for nearly a
quarter of century. while the place has
fewer inhabitants than it had fifty years
ago.
The Oldest inhabitant is a man ninety
years Of age, whose whole life has been
passed in this, the town of his birth. lie
still lives in the house where he was
born.
A stranger from distant city was in
conversation with this aged citizen one
day, when the old gentleman said
ayes, sir ; I've lived right here in this
village ninety years I've seen wonder
ful changes in that time, sir-wonderful
changes. / tell ye, the place is goiug
right ahead"
"In what way ?" asked the stranger,
looking up and down the deserted road
for some indication of this wonderful
progress
"In what way ?" repeated the old gen.
tleman. why, in different ways. l
can remember the time we didn't have
but one store here, and now we've got
two and meat shop, and there's talk Of
a millinery woman coming in here. Yes,

a four hundred dollar organ in the
church, and aood half mile of side

Norwegian Razors.

Ihave nice specimens Of Norwegian
cutlery, but not until few day ago did
know that the inventive Norseman had
marched before US in razors. A friend
who has been travelling hard for two
whole years came to stay with me, and he
exhibited the most beautiful pair Of these
toilet tools ] ever saw, of very highly
polished Bessemer steel, simple and sci
entific, being merely thin, flat blades Of
metal inserted in grooves Of thicker stuff.

A Mistake.

Some of James Benefits friends ad-
vised very strongly against his marrying
before his professional income Justified"
it. But he had been engaged to Mary
Moore two years, and she was . capable
woman, versed in ways Of household
thrift and economy, and he reasoned, as
did she, that what wa enough for one
was enough for two" and that they
would. venture in matrimony without
further delay. Just at this juncture Jane
Seymour, very dear friend Of Mary's
wrote 10 Mary asking the privilege of
helping the young couple in furnishing
their modest house and boarding with
them by way Of remuneration for her in
vestment. Il seemed to the youg people
providential opening, and the accept
ed the offer with gratitude and alacrity.
As Mary had never been married be-
fore, and Jane was single, neither was
aware how utterly two young people
newly welded are absorbed in each
other, aud how any third party becomes
not only superfiuity, but a source Of
continual trouble. As Jane contributed
so much to the furnishing Of the house
and of the table, of course, she must be
consulted be consulted in all matters per-
tanning to taste, household management
md every thing connected with the con-
duct of affairs. She was given the best
room in the house, of course; she was
perpetual guest with the rights of an
owner.
Did james and Mary wish to take a
walk? Jane could not be left behind.
Did they wish to call upon some friend ?
Jane must 90 along too. And 50 it came
to pass that the adjustment Of this third
party to the dual unit caused more per-
pIexity and doubt and questioning and
misunderstanding than did their efforts
at adjustment to each other Of a great
deal.
OF course, Jane had her views, as most
single women not very young have, Of
how men should treat their wives, and
she was not slow to hint at any discovery
of delinquencies on James part, and to
encourage Mary to insist on her reserved
rights. This didn't help the young couple
in growing nearer to each other. Their
sense of pecuniary obligation compelled
submission to all these inconvenience,
or they thought it did, until at last they
became quite unbearable, and circum-
stances occurred which called Jane else
where, they were relieved from further
embarrassment in the matter. At once
they went into narrow quarters, retrench-
ed expenses, consulted nobody but their
two selves, and We're happy and solvent.
II would be hard to make either James
ar Mary believe that any circumstances
would induce them to take another Ter
ti,na quid, as James always called Jane,
into their family. The 'third something"
will make trouble, willingly or unwit-
tingly, in the life Of a newly-wedded pair
and those who try the experiment will
surely be convinced that such is the fact.
Leave young married people TO them
selves Christian AdU0cate.

Should a Girl Hesitate ?

A young girl, attractive though not
pretty, bright and witty, well read and
well bred, whom I love dearly, asked me
the other day what 1 thought was wom-
ans sweetest hour.
! have since then discovered her reason
for asking the question.
She anticipated my answer with the
preface that she thought it was when,
having brought the man Of her choice to
the point of proposing, she keeps him
waiting a few moments for her answer,
regarding the nature Of which she has
given no inkling 50 strong as to make it
certain that it will be "Yes."
am also a young girl, three years her
senior. I have not yet experienced that
sweet hour" at least, from a well
come source. Still I can well understand
that to see and feel the anxiety of ones
lover, aud to know that it is all caused
by love for you, should constitute IN
bounded happiness.
Yet my friends idea strikes me as
somewhat insincere and a trife cruel.
Were 1 ever called upon to answer the
most important question Of my life, pro-
pounded by the man of my heart, l
would find keener joy in unhesitatingly
saying yes than to feign a doubtfulness
that l did not fell.
A little beating about the bush at the
outset is perhaps proper enough, but
when you have assured yourself that you
are dealing with an honest man that
loves you, l think that all plrrying and
diplomacy had better be supplanted by
frankness and sincerity. 1 think the
honorable wooer entitled to as much in
formation as he has impaired to his
sweetheart.-N. y. Herald.
