FLIRTING AND ITS CoNsEQUENCEs-Quit
a romantic and instructive history of
courtship, Irritation, punishment and re-
pentance has lately occurred in Chicago
A young clerk named Collins. fell desper-
ate!y in love with milliner, whose name
was Ann Francis. They were engaged,
and he made her numerous presents. She
insisted upon flirting with other young
men, and when he reproached her she made
him some saucy reply, which preyed upon
him so much that he took to drinking
the usual remedy. lie afterwards met
her on Michigan avenue, in company with
her sister and another girl, and in fit OF
craziness he drew pistol and attempted
to shoot her. Through the presence
min Of her sister, vino knocked his arm

sentenced to imprisonment. The girl re-
fu Led to testify against him. and offered to
marry him on the spot, but the law had to
take its course.-Post.

LOWS LABOR SUccEssFUL-A young
couple. engaged to be married, were walk
ing in the vicinity Of Bristol, England,
when so1ne slight disagreement arose be.
tween them, and the young man walked
hastily away. The young woman soon
went in search Of him, and found that he
had climbed tree and hanged himself by
his handkerchief. Nobody was near the
spot, and the girl at once climbed to the
tree to cut her lover down, but she had no
knife with her, and the only way by which
she could effect her object was by biting
through the knotted handkerchief. This,
with some difficulty, she succeeded in do
ing, and the foolish boy fell on the ground
insensible. The young woman then sue
ceeded in getting assistance, and he was
taken to the Bristol Inirmary, where he
is lying in very precarious condition.

The Wind.


Nothing is more curious than the effect
produced upon the mind by the wash of the
waves and the Lowing of the wind in hol-
low places. Itcannot be association which
gives both sounds their air of mystic
dreaminess, Of vain lamentation, or of
melancholy desire. Both sea and wind
are potent enough and practical enough
to make the men who specially devote
themselves to using and breasting their
power, hard, keen, daring and rugged.
Yet the sound of the sea on the shore, and
the wind roaring through the house, sug~
gests anything but daring and enterprise
If it suggests danger and shipwreck that
is, by association, and because we know
that shipwrecks come Of waves and winds
directly, it does not suggest danger or
struggle, but rather,


Old, unhappy, far off things,


And trials long ago,


and this can only be because they are GER
tain sounds adapted Of themselves to re-
call certain moods of thought, and which
have not gained their power to do so by
association. This is true of all music.
But the special expressive power of a
moaning high wind, seems to be to blend
an Immense variety Of subdued notes
notes melancholy in themselves-into a
volume Of sound so great as to seem like
the voice Of a great past-away world com
planning of its fate or its oblivion. IF it
is strange enough-as it is-that solid food
growing out Of the earth should supply
human organization with nervous power
to see and feel, it is at least as strange
that few gases ranged round the earth,
the more immediate object of which seems
to be to oxodise our food in the lungs, and
to provide currents which ventilate our
planets surface, should, in addition, have
the extraordinary power of supplying us
with medium for speech, natural mu-
sic, and an inarticulate language of emo
tion.-Er.

an imaginary and fictitious one. The diverse
Offices of man and woman are not unnatural
or absurd. The unnaturalness will come
when their work, Offices and duties are ro-
versed or identified Who can imagine their
spheres made the same, or reduced to the
same diameter? As well might the eternal
fitness Of things be observed if Desdemona
should tell Othello the story of her perils
and 'scapes and Conflicts and Othello weep
himself into unnatural love at the recital


II. then, there is an actual duality in man :;
each completes and is completed by the
other; if the two constitute one. in nature
and religion, then it is not a very wise po-


litical philosophy which either separates
Offices and functions so different. and makes
of the one, two nor any wiser philosophy
which SO identifies or equalizes the two, as to
m axe each Of the two exactly the same thing,
-endued by God with the same rights, privi-
leges and duties. 1t does not then follow
because man, as man, is entitled to suffrage,
to determine his political institutions, and
TO decide who shall be his ruler, that, there
fore, woman has the same right. Both their
'snfry and their diversity would seem to
point in exactly the opposite direction, and
teach us that because man has by quality
and Office political rights and supremacy,
therefore woman should not have them.
If the ideal woman and the ideal man are
totally distinct, and yet forever complement
tary one to the other. then their duties and
rights are distinct and complementary. If
it is the duty and right of man to exercise
leadership, mastery and authority, it is
clearly the duty aud right of the woman not
to do so. The harmony of the universe is
observed when it's various orders of beings
keep their places. If the man takes the
woman's place and the woman takes the
man : place. or if there be no difference in
place or work, then. instead of lifting, help
ing and blessing man with her peculiar gifts
and powers, she will fall even rs he falls,
and no hand will aid him in the strife of life,
nor buckle on his souls armor. Woman
will be degraded and man will not be ele-
vatcd. Social life will begin its anarchy.
She will abdicate her throne but will find
no successor. The sceptre of her true do
minion will fall from her hands and no art
of hers shall ever grasp it again. The
European peasantry, man and woman, stand
equally together, in work, in society, in
law. No right is enjoyed by ono that is de-
MED to the.other. So far as parity of rights
goes nothing could be more equal. And no
social system could sink any lower. A sys-
TEN of social life that does not recognize their
differences, and that does not also recognize


their essential unity, not equality, is as


faIse to nature, art, history and progress as
it is to Christianity. L.

The following eloquent passage is from
the speech of the Rev. DR.. Carol, of New
Haven, at Wesleyan Missionary Meeting
at Paris, France:


Another year has closed. We stand
in the harvest field gathering the grain,
the four months of sunshine bound up IN
sheaves. But as you come again rejoie-
ing, bringing your sheaves with you, why
that undertone of sadness in the harvest
hymn7 All it is because there has been
another reaper in your field, the reaper
whose name is Death, who has not only
moved down the bearded grain, but the
flowers that grew between Your children
have been taken. But weep not. L al
ways thank God when, descending TO the
brink of the Jordan, little hands press
mine, and when it is the loving spirit of a
confding child there anoint For verify
to the eye of faith there is nothing fairer
than the death of young ehildr i. Sight
and sense indeed recoil from it. The
flower that like breathing rose filed the
heart and home with fragrance-alas we
are stricken with sore anguish to see the
stem broken, and the blossom gone But
to faith, eagle-eyed beyond human vision,
and winged to mount over the fading rain
bow into the blue heavens beyond-the
death of child is touchingly lovely. The
rose does its work as grandly in blooming
as the vine with its fruit. And helping to
lift heavenward the hearts that broke at
its farewell, it has gone ere the winds
chilled or the rains stained it, leaving the
place where it dwelt. and the skies through
which it passed, still sweet with the lin
cering fragrance to the glory of an ever
unfolding flower in the garden of God
And surely earth has no boon like this
For such mortal loveliness to put on i'm
mortality-to. rise from earth with so
little memory of it that a mothers cradle
seems to have been rocked In the house of
the many mansions-to grow up from
child's Joyous heart into the power OF an
arch-angelic intellect--to be raptured as a
sweet babe through the gates of Paradise.
But tears wil fall-mingling with the sun
light-yet together they form the covenant
bow that SPANS the. haryest-feld to-day,
promising the coming of a sorrewless time
when into our immortal lives no rain shall
fall, suggesting thu harvest home OF heav-

1 SMoKISe MANNERs-The street is not

more right to void his tobacco smoke into

his back, or an open package of assafatida

it is not customary to carry assafetida in
the pocket, nobody thinks about it if it
only were the custom, we should hear a
fearful cry from the tobacco-smokers them
selves If man treads upon another's
foot, he apologies but he will carelessly


void offensive smoke into his very throat,
and never think that he does anything rep
rehensible. IF man dislike smoking, he
can keep out of the street. But the right
of the tobacco-hater in the street is equal
to that of the tobacco-lover to refrain from
smoking in public places is not granting a
concession, but not to refrain is violating

CONCLUSION.


There is no error. as think. in the state
ment with which started, namely, that our
history furnishes but one actual reciprocity
treaty yaeceptod-and that was itself made con-
tingent upon the action of Congress
one, the Zollverein, negotiated and rejected
BY the Senate As far as precedents go. the
action OF the government has been decidedly
adverse to them and the character Of that
accepted even British subjects do not now
pretend to have been other than very profit
at.e to them, and most improbable to the
United States. 1t is certain that we gave the
notice for its termination at the earliest pos
siole moment


u a reciprocity treaty can be made with
the queen of Great Britain, or with the king
# the Hawaiian Islands, may not the same
thing be done with the red chiefs of our In
dian tribes How would it do to mend the
tariff by treaty of reciprocity, - the su-
preme law of the land, with the Sioux or
Comanches? How should we respond to the
claims OF all those nations with whom we
hsvc treaties-to Bismark or the Earl of
Ciarendon-for equal favors? 1t is not pos
sbe that the American Senate, with ever so
srong predilection in favor of reciprocity
tr-Ities-which trust does not exist-would
.erate this latitude in their construction :
'Iifs WOULD /: not be well to eschew power
- incapable of good and so full Of possibili-
ties of evil?


Our House Of Representatives was an i'm
proved copy of the British. House of Com
mons, whose rights and privileges were
guarded with especial jealousy and unceasing
formality. At the commencement of every
session, the Speaker goes to the House of
Lords and claims - all their ancient rights
and privileges all of which the queen
either in person or by proxy, "agrees to al
low and confirm in as ample and complete a
manner as has ever been allowed or confirmed
By herself or by any of her Majesty's prede-
cessOrs. It will not be wise for the Senate
or the Executive TO raise any dubious conflict
with the other branch of Congress. Let it
never be necessary for the House to ask OF
US OF of the Executive to allow and confirm
in as complete manner as has ever been al
lowed and confirmed by the constitution all
their ancient rights and privileges

THE NosE BLEED.-There are two little
arteries which supply the whole face with
blood, one on each side; these branch off
from the main arteries on each side of the
windpipe, and, running upward toward the
eyes, pass over the outside of the jaw
bone about two-thirds of the way back
from the chin to the angle of the Jaw, un-
der the ear. Each of these arteries, of
course, supplies Just one-half of the face,
the nose being the dividing line the left
nostril is supplied with blood by the left
artery, and the right nostril by the right
artery Now, supposing your nose bleeds
by the right nostril, with the end of the
fore-fnger feel along the outer edge of the
right jaw till you feel the beating of the
artery directly under your finger, the same
as the pulse in your wrist, then press the
finger hard upon it, thus getting the little
fellow in tight place between your finger
and the jaw-bone the result will be that
no drop of blood goes into the side of Jour
face while the pressure continues; hence
the nose instantly stops bleeding for want
of blood to aow ; continue the pressure for
FIVE minutes, and the ruptured vessels in
the nose will b this time probably con-
tract SO that when you let the blood into
them Icy will not leak Bleeding from
cut or wound anywhere about the face may
be stopped In the same way.

BY WILLIAM WINTER.
The apples are ripe in the orcha d,
The work Of the reaper is done.
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood Of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandsire
Sits pale In his easy chair,
While the gentle wind OF twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him
fair young head is pressed,
In the first wild passions of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come
OF the flying blast of trumpet
And the rafting roll o. drum.
And the grand-sire speaks in q whisper:
The end no man can see
But we give lin to his country.
And We give our prayers to Thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The rosebuds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard


The pink white blosso ms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty,
Tha cottage is dark tRd still;
There's nameless grave in the battlefield
And new one under the hill.
And pallid, fearless woman


By the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner,
Ticks on with a steady doone.
