Mia is divided into two parts, Old Manila,
or the walled city, and new Manila. The
former is surrounded by a series Of three
walls each of which is separated by a
moat filthy with the accumulauons Of CEN
turtles, and is divided into the following
districts: San Sebastian, San Miguel, Qua

which Binondo is the trade center and San

Near our present barracks is a cemetery
or catacombs, in which bodies are deposit

follow it in its effects and through its
consequences. And this even when we,
the elect, are pierced heart-through, even
as the frivolous are, with Cupid's shafts,
for we, as often as they, are stricken of
the little blind rascal. 1t might be thought
that love, like death, would prove leveler,
and make US even as other men. But not
so; if ever we were diHgent before, we

Nobody knows. The authorities dhe
poets are worthless in determining the
matter. The man who makes verses
about comical lovers for the comic
papers, being subject to the common lot,
is sometimes found to be squandering the
proceeds Of said verses upon some Little

THE FEAR OF PROPOSING.

Following are two communications in
regard to proposals. love and filtration as
they are found here in Wichita
The first is from man who evidently
thinks too much, who IS afraid to propose,
afraid that ali the charms of courtship
would evaporate upon betrothal; that hap
piness IS in pursuit, not possession.
As for him any long married man will
tell him that his fancied trouble is night
mare; that possession Of woman never
comes; that true love, even after years
Of married life, TO say nothing Of betrothsl,
Is to the last a courtship. a wooing. He
will probably not understand this. No
one understands the exaltaion of rehg-
ious faith till he has felt it. You cannot
explain sight TO a man born blind.
The second communication is from a
young woman who has evidently had d
bitter experience, which she relates.
The mans dolorous communication Is
as follows:
II am not a practical mani admit that

ton have been so inclined 10 philosOphize

but all the while the case in point being
purely Hypothetical and not one of actual
facts and conditions, confronting him and
demanding the solution Of action. Such
as I, however, groan in spirit beneath the
weight Of an hypothesis as distressingly
as our neighbors who live among, deal
with and dispose OF real-world facts and
not those Of their own conjuring. My kind

we come in due course to dread decision
