Bhs Fart That the Bachelor Masters of
Ceremony Play In Japan.
Whenever festival came to pass the
arrangements fell into the hands of a
special class OF the community called
wakaishL These were In fact the
bachelors of the community They
formed a sort of society or guild, and
no one could be admitted without
proper Endorsement and a vote of &c
eeptance They were rather a wild
set; they could not be called indus
trIous. and the wineshop was the ia
vorite rendezvous of these pleasure Low
ing youths
A merchant who had an eye to his
sons future would seldom consent to
his joining the band; and it was thus
more numerous where artisans, whose
sons had greater liberty, were more
plentiful But Japan is a marrying
country; very few men, and still fewer
women, continue long minated; and
no cho contained more than fifteen OIL
twenty wakaishi There were two oil
three classes; one class was well off,
and was expected to spend money hand
somely; the others possessed less and
were called on for less 1t was into the
hands Of this gay company that the ar
rangements for merry making were al
ways placed. The occupation was q
congenial one, and this disposition of II
came about naturally enough.
There was one part of the duties,
however. which was not very pleasant
was. in fact, according to japanese
ideas, even little debasing. This was
the soliciting of contributions for festi.
val expenses. The wakaislli played the
disagreeable part In old japanese life
that the book agent and campaign
fund collector play with us. AS q
festival approached the wakaishi went
to the sahai-nin and the house owners,
and received general directions about
the mode of celebration. Then n mum.
Der went the rounds to collect sub
scriptions. Everybody knew how much
his neighbor was worth, and each was
asked to give certain sum, according
to his means.-J. ii. Wigmore in Serb
ner's.

Write Short Letters.

A young woman in Pennsylvania
took a novel way of selecting hus-
band from her choice of six admirers.
She bade each one write her a letter
setting forth his proposal in due form.
When the iotters came they ranged in
length fro.l six lines to six pages. The
young woman, believing breyity to be
Ine soul OF wit, chose the shortest epis-
tie, which ran thus;
twill always try to do my duty as a
faithful husband"
The directness OF this epIstle won her
heart and Lhe has married the writer.

Intelligence from San Francisco
states that Mexican dispatch from
Manzanillo says the American
steamer Roseville has arrived there
and reports passing at sea the wreck
of the brig Tahiti. She was floating
bottom up and the captain of the
Roseville says she must have been
capsized. All the rigging had Teen
cut away on the port side apparent
ly to prevent this. In September
last the Tahiti created sensation
at San Francisco by putting into
brakes bay in distress. She had
270 Gilbert islanders on board under
contract to work in Mexico at star
walton wages. These men were
pra ,tically slaves. There was much
talk of Selling the vessel. Finally
the collector decided that he had no
right to detaln her and the brig lett.
1t seems almost certain that all on
board have been lost as tie ships
boats were still with her and moths
ing has been heard of any of the
survivors. Presumably the wreck
must have happened at least a
month ago. Beside the islanders
the vessel carried officers and a crew
Of twenty .one, making total of 291
on board the ill-fated craft. So the
Pacific fishes must have been eating
islanders all through the autumn.
Great pity they didn't come over
and give the yankee museum men a
show.

UNRRITTEN LAW.

The unwritten law of every COM
munity in every civilized country is,
that he who invades the sanity of
the home must suffer.
The feeling of honor, dlvinely i'm
planted, revol.s at the idea of the
home being invaded and no speedy
vengeance meted out the culprit
who robs it of its sunshine and hap
piness.
The pledge of protection, taken in
the presence OF the minister, with
God as witness, pledges man to be
faithful to his loved one through
veal or woe, in health or sickness,
in sunshine or shadow, in bouyant
life or when the mist is slowly gath
ering about her eyes in death.
In SO far as the home is free of
faint or suspicion and all is JOY and
peace and happiness just far is it a
type of heaven on earth. But when
SANDER invades its sacred precincts,
it is robed of its beauty and sweet
ness, and instead of the sweet flow.
ers Of love and contentment there
spring up the bitter weeds of doubt
and suspicion.
No man who loves his home can
tolerate the presence of the enemy
who robs it of it's sacredness, and it
is the law, written in the innerm ost
recesses of his heart and soul, that
he who poisons the home must suf-
fer the consequences. Most assur>
eddy it is wrong to take life, but is
the slanderer to 60 unmirdful of Sc
we're justice? What can the family
do that will remove the poison from
the home? This is a question that
has been solved but one way since
the nome has D6on recognized as the
most sacred spot on earth.
1t is fearful and terribly thing
to kill it is more fearful and more
terrible to murder family and con.
nections. He who ISLANDERS woman
though she were not an angel, is LA
BILE to incur the penalty of pledge
bound protection. Who guards wo
man has a sacred trust, and who
robs her of name and virtue brings
down punishment on his own head
How important, then, that the
love of bone shall remain God-giv
given; that no conductshall breathe
suspicion that the family altar
shall SAVIOR of love and sweet in
cense, and not shadow rest upor
the sacred spot.

The happiness of our lives depends
much on the active performance Of
the duties of our station; nor have
we any right to infer that, if they
are not properly discharged, they
would be better if we moved in a
more exalted sphere. Usefulness is
confined to no station, and it is as
tonishing how much good may be
done, and what may be effected by
limited means, united with benevo-
lence of heart and activity of mind.

If everything is to be condemned
and Stunned except that which is
absolutely pure and perfect then ev-
erything must be avoided. A man
must shun the church, because hy>
pocrisy in some form is there. He
must shun society, for vices of some
sort are there. He must avoid him
self, for he is full Of imperfections.
