RECONCILIATION.
canomrs'. ".' mason,"
_
If thou wert lying, cold and still and white,
In death’s embraces, O mine enemy !
I think that if I came and looked on thee,
I should forgive; that something in the sight
Of that still~face would conquer me, by right
Of death’s sad impotence, and I should see
How pitiful a thing it is to be
At feud with aught that’s mortal,
So to-night,
My soul, unfurling her white flag of peace—
Forstalling _that dread hour when we may
meet, 5
The dead face and the living—fain would cry
Across the years, “Oh,'let our warfares cease!
Life is so short, and hatred is not ,sweet:
Let there be peace between us ere we die.”
My Wedding Tour.
I was only seventeen when Charlie married
me, and I wrote myself for the first time Mrs.
Charles Vail, jr., and saw that the initials of
the same were emblazoned on the end of my
new Saratoga trunk, when we started for our
wedding journey. My wedding journey I I
can speak of it calmly now, but the time was
when it harrow_ed up my inmost soul. To
this day Charley becomes wroth when it is
mentioned, and says it is my "blamed imag-
ination ;” but he knows, and I know well,
that that is only one of those convenient little
loop holes through which big masculinity can
crawl on emergency ; and as the facts remain-
ing unchanged and indisputable, I shall defy
Charlie and state them to the world.
Imagine then, reader or listener, whoever
you may be, that the last silken train had
swept itself out of Trinity chapel, and the last
notes of the inevitable “Wedding March”
shuddered themselves out of the groaning
organ, and that Charlie and I were married.
Also, that the kissing and trying over is
achieved, and the voices of my husband’s
sisters and my maiden aunts, hailing down
blessings on our heads, are happily lost in
distance—that the only sound we hear is the
rattle and roar of an express train eastward
bound, and I am looking out into the golden
noonday, wgtchiug the fields and roads and
villages and woodlands race past us, and
sweep back into a stream like running water.
There we sat, two blissful young fools—but
it isn’t of our bliss or our foolishness either
that I am going to tell you—only of the sin-
gular adventure of our wedding tour.
Charlie hadn’t told me where we were to
go, and I rather liked beingleft in ignorance,
knowing no more than that we were being
swept away to some little paradise of our own
—it might be to an island of the Hesperides
or Crusoe’s kingdom, or Eden itself. We
stopped at a good many stations by the way
that looked anything but paradaisica’. ; but I
saw everything through a glass,rosily, as I set
there demure and mute by Charlie’s side. The
shadows were growing short, and it was just
noon when we stopped at some “villa” or
other, whose long, low, straggling buildings
crowding close upon the track, and the broad
dusty, village street, branching off at right
angles, are photographed upon my memory.
Not for anything intrinsically remarkable.
there were only a good many teams and farm
wagons,and open carriages,and light carryalls
standing about with lazy horses rubbing their
noses against old worm-eaten posts, under
the row of drooping green trees, and plenty of
people on the platform, crowding together
with greetings and good-bye; it was a com-
mon-place, everyday picture enough, and not
even a pretty one, except in fragments. There
was a general exodus from the cars,and a rush
dinnerward, as we supposed, toward the
swinging sign of some “house"or other down
the lazy little country street; and Charlie
_ looking at his watch,said it was 12 o’clock—
and didn’t I want some lunch?
Of course I didn’t, but of course he said I
must have it, and immediately started up.
He wouldnt be five minutes, he said, and I
musn’t move till he came back. I was to
guard our two seats and let no one come nigh
them, and above all, I was to sit still, and
not be lead away by any possible warnings to
change cars. “We’re going through,” Char-
lie remarked, “so just keep the seats and
don’t pay any attentipn.” I nodded obedience
and Mr. Vail marched out of the car, leaving
me to peer after him in the crowd and catch
the last glimpse of his straw hat vanishing
down the street.
I watched the crowd,when Charlie was out
of sight, and mused and wondered over the
faces, and built up all sorts of dreamy specu-
lations upon them, as one does in a crowd
when they have nothing better to think of.
Presently the door banged open,and the voice
of someiunseeu functionary shouted “change
cars for Boa—ton 1”
Everybody began to scramble their bags
and bundles and canes together, and there
was a rush among the few who remained my
fellowpassengers. I watched them go with-
out emotion, and merely settled myself more
comfortably for the solitary journey through
which Charlie had indicated—wondering 'a
little where its terminus might be, but in no
wise disturbed and anxious thereat. I stared
out at the people for five minutes longer—at
least’so said the fat-faced clock in the “ladies
room” opposite my window, though I made it
fifty, at least in my mental calculation—and
then the door swung open again. This time a
head projected into the car,roared, “all out 1”
—evidcntly at me—and vanished again. “I
won’t get out,” I replied, defying the empty
air. “Charlie told me tc sit still, and I’m
going to. Oh, "Charlie! why in the world
don’t you come back I”
But no Charlie came to answer me, and I
began to stare out in the crowd with rather
more an'xious eyes, and to grow a little hot
and uneasy, and to think, with certain un-
pleasant thrills runuing down my back, what
would become of me if the train should start
and Charlie should not Come back at all 1 At
this awful point in my meditations the loco-
motive gave veut to an unearthly screech,
which I took for:a premonitory symptom of ’
departure, and I was so terrified that I started
up from my seat just as the little door swung
back for the third time to admit of a last
warning. like that of Friar Bacon’s brazen
head. This time the face re-appeared on a
big, shaggy suit of clothes some six feet high,
and was a grim, not to say irate, visage.
“ Change cars, miss” said the person gruf.
fly. “I told you to do so twice before i”
“ I am to sit still," I replied meekly. “I’m
going through 1” I thought this was the right
thing to say as Charlie had said it; but it
didn’t have the right effect.
“Change ears then—there’s the Boston train
over there. This car runs back to New
York.”
I simply stared at the person in a dogged
way that he seemed to take ill.
“Come he exclaimed, waxing impatient.
“You can sit ,there all: day, you know.
Where do you want to go ?”
“I—I—don’t know.” I stammered. “I
was told to sit still, and [—1 must wait till
the person comes back.”
The man stared back at me with interest.
“Where’s your ticket,” he said, extending a
dirty hand.
“I haven't got it,” I answered in a meek
and conciliatiug tone. “My—Char—at least
the gentleman who is with me has got them
betb. ”
“ The gentleman ! Pretty fellow he must
be! Told you to sit still, did he ?”
I made no reply to this unwarrantable lack
of respect in referring to my absent lord, but
drew myself up and looked~ severely out of
the window.
“Well, you can't go back to New Yor ,”
observed my ,tormentor, summarily. “The
best thing you can do is to get out andlook
for your gentleman, miss.” Saying which he
jerked mp bag‘down from the rack, turned
the opposite seat, which Charley had inverted
luck to its place, and, by a Species of moral
saasiou, caused me to pack up my shawls,
parasol, etc., and follow him in abject sub-
mission to the door.
“Now where did the gentleman go ?" he
demanded, as he handed me out on the plat-
form.
“He went to get me some lunch,” I replied,
almost ‘ready at this crisis' to disgrace my
bridehood and cry.
“ And told you to sit still, did be? Well
you stand right here and keep a lookout for
him. There’s the Boston train over there,
goes in fifteen minutes, and he can’t get into
it without your seeing him, if he ain’t inside
already; and my advice is, stick fast to him
if you find him, for he must need looking af-
ter.”
With which remarkable words the‘man set
down my bag, and winked at a bystander.
" What’s the row ?” asked the person thus
invited to participate in the enjoyment of my
woes. Then they whispered—about me, I
suppose—and everybody stood and stared at
me.
.Poor little bride! There I stood, holding
fast my parasol, with a shawl on my arm, my
own small satchel on the other, and Charlie’s
“ lone, lorn, loru critter” indeed. There
stood three men in a knot, contemplating me,
and any quantity of the same species coming
and going, who all looked at me as they pass-
ed, and then turned around and stared again
——and there was no Charlie visible’in all the
range of the surrounding country. Dire
thoughts began to be born within me, and to
turn me cold and damp with extreme horror
-the gnightmare of my infancy—being lost
—came back upon me, and crushed my seven—
teen years and the new dignity of Mrs.
Charles Vail, jr., with a fell swoop. What
was to become of me? Suppose there had
been an accident, and Charlie knocked down
and fearfully mangled, or that he had just
vanished away, as one occasionally hears of
respectable gentlemen having done, or never
would appear again or to be heard of at all;
supposing I were justlto stand there waiting,
and the train shrieked away in the distance,
and night coming on, and all those strange
men staring and whispering ? Pretty soon I
should begin to cry, for I couldn’t stand it
much longer; and here I began to feel for
my pocketbook as aslight resource. I dived
to the utmost corners of my rockets before I
remembered that I had confided it to Charlie
with wifely duty, at the very outset of our
wedding trip.
At this alarming discovery a cold moisture
broke upon my frame. A night passed un-
der the lee of the depot, crouched among my
little possessions, now loomed before me—
unless I could deposit the same possessions
or pawn my diamond ring and my gold brac-
lets for a night’s lodging and a ticket back to
New York. I suppose the horror depicted on
my countenance was a suclfiicnt knowledge
for my inquiry. I don’t know what an ex-
treme it must have reached, but somebody
appeared to find it moving, for a benevolent
voice presently saluted my ears:
“ Are you waiting for anybody, miss ?”
I turned around with a gasp of alarm,which
subsided a little, however, when I met an
elderly face, spectacled and benign in the ex-
treme.
“Excuse me, miss,” said the old gentleman
in a sympathetic tone. “Are you waiting for
anyone ?”
“I—-I-—yes, sir—I’m waiting for—”
I came to a dead stop. “For Charlie”
should I say. “My husband” was a step'
beyond utterance just now. I only turned
scarlet, choked and twisted the handle of my
bag in silence.
“Is there anything I can do for you? ”
“I—dou’t know—where to go?" I burst
out involuntarily. “They told me to change
cars and I didn’t expect to, and I don’t know
what to do.”
My new friend looked bewildered and came
a step nearer, as he inquired, in a solemnly
lowered voice, “Are you alone ?”
“No, no,” I said very quickly under my
breath. ‘
“ Who is with you ?” asked he, with a kind
of confidential compassion that a little confus-
ed me. I did not understand it.
“My—a—a—gentlcman.” I faltered out.
“He went out to get something and he told
me to sit still, and not move; and aman came
and made me change cars—and I don’t know
what cars we were to take—and—and—I—I
—-don’t see him anywhere.”
Here I choked :and fell to biting my lips
and winking my two eyes hard to wink the
tears down.
“That train’s ageing back to New York,”
said one of the last arrivals, grinning. “Go-
ing through to Boston, was you ?”
“I don’t know where I was going,” I an-
swered very shortly.
“A gentleman l" repeated my friend, sud-
denly. By; this time two more men had
drawn near to listen.
“Your Father?"
H No.”
“ Brother, then ?” very mysteriously.
‘6 N__no-" >
I began to get very red and uncomfortable ,
and to wish that they wouldn‘t stare so. ,
“ Where are you going, my dear?” asked
the first Samaritan, after a solmn pause of
some minutes. .
“ I 'don’t know,” I answered faintly. “He
didn’t tell me; he said, when he went to get
me some lunch, that I wasn’t to move if the
man said to change cars, for we were going
through; and I told the man so, but he made
me change.”
“Let me see your ticket ?” said the old
gentleman, feelingly.
He had a compassionate way of looking at
me over his spectacles; and he looked queerer
still when I answered faintly; “He’s got it,
——and my money—and—oh, why don't be
come ‘2" _ . ' ,
Here I cast loose all ceremony and burst
into tears.
“ Oh, don’t cry now,” said the old gentle-
man soothingly. “Don‘t now ! Where did
he—your friend—gwhere did he gov—which
way ?” ,
“ I don’t know,”I sobbed from behind my
handkerchief.
“Went to get some lunch,did he say ? Well,
now can’t you telime what sort of 3 looking
person he was, and perhaps we can find him?
Was be young or old ?”
“Young,” I murmured, still behind a bar-
rier of cambric. “W—W ith a yellow mous-
tache, and g-gray clothes and a straw hat.”
“Pretty bad business!” one of the men mut-
tered aside to another. “Sharp fellow i" re.
sponded a second. And then there was some
antistrophes of “What’s the matter ?” “It’s
a shame!” “Left her, did he I” from a small
crowd that had by this time started, up around
me.
“Well, now, just come here and sit down,”
said my old gentleman paternally gathering
up mv bag, "and compose youmelf,‘my dear,
and we’ll see what can be done. Don’t cry
it’ll only flurry you, and won’t do any good,
you know. There, that’s right!”
For I wiped my eyes with the remnant of
a sob pulled my vail doWu, and was turning
to follow him when behold! 'as I swept the
landscape o’er with one last look of despera-
tion there appeared Charlie—gray clothes and
straw hat, and yellow moustache, and all,
coming from the dim distance, with a brown
paper parcel under each arm.
“ There he is ?” I shrieked, dropping bag
and parasol in my ecstasy and rushing dowr.»
the platform with extendediarms. “There he
is ! 011, call him,somebcdy—-tell him I’m
here. Make him look this way i”
NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 15,
“Where? which ? where is he i” cried half
a dozen men quite excitedly.
“Him in the straw hat, with the bundles?
Halloa, sir l Halloal Stop him i” and the
small boys and one man started in pursuit.
Poor Charlie! There he came hurrying
along in our direction rather swiftly,it is true
when my four companions gave chase. And
just as they uplifted their voices, and just as
Charlie’s eyes,swceping the surrounding seen
appeared to light upon them—just then did
the locomotive behind which he had been sit-
tihg fifteen minutes before, and which in the
manner of trains, chose its time to set up a
shriek and a violent ringing of the bell, and
go pulling off on its wao to New York. And
Charlie first started wild, and he then turned
and chasedzthe locomotive; and the three
small boys and the man chased him, reading
the air with shouts of “stop him 1”
But Charlie couldn’t keep up with the train
very long, and the impotency of his efforts
seemed to break upon him suddenly after he
had run himself very hot and damp,and shed
all the hot buns from his brown paper parcel
for twenty yards along the track. He turned
and faced his pursuers like a man at bay,
and figuratively speaking, they‘all fell upon
him.
“Stop there! where are you going? Come
back after your lady, you scampl Ain’t you
ashamed of yourself! " shouted the small boy
in ectasy. “Wanted to run away, did you ?
Didn’t do it that time, old fellow!”
“W hat the deuce do you want ?” said Char-
lie, fiercely. “Where’s Sarah ? Where’s my
wife ?”
“ There she is l” roared a dozen voices
with appropriate action of as many unwash-
ed hands. “Ain’t got rid of her so easy
yet.”
I will draw a decorous veil over the em-
brace that followed and the compliments ex-
changed by the populace, who cvinced the
wildest joy at what was supposed to be the
discomfiture of villainy. I will merely ob-
serve that the whistle of the Boston train cut
short our little scene, and that I was hahled
on the last car amid the cheers of the bystand
ers,greatly multiplied since Charlie’s appear-
ance on the scene, and speeded on my way
by a parting word from one benevolent per-
sonage to “keep a tight eye on my young man
for he warn‘t to be trusted as far as you can
see him ?” Also that Charlie shed bank note
as well as buns in the excitement of the case
and that my point d’Aleucon parasol with an
agate handle, the wedding gift of my beloved
Arabella, is probably marching around Blank-
ville at this very hour, poised in the Lisle
thread hand of some bolle.
Burdctte’s Baby.
Burlington Hawkcye.
Time flies, the summer is almost over, the
mackerel have come up the bay, and are bit-
ing like poison, the ferns are growing old,
and the boy is learning to talk so that other
people can understandéhim.
“If you would let me have him about one
month,”said the pleasant voiced and pleasant
faced school mistress who came down here
from up river last week, “I could break him
of that careless habit of speaking.”
Just because the boy had asked his stern
dark-brewed father:
"Poppulsywhurs is mines fiflin pole you
peakin’ mamma um day ?"
Which by interpretation is, as the pleasant
voiced school mistress would have taught him
to' say:
“Father, where is my fishing rod of which
you were speaking to my mother, with refer-
ence to purchasing it for me at some time in
the indefinite future.
And here little serene highness shook her
head and said no; he was losing his baby
talk,and learning to speak English too rapidly
as it was. The pleasant face of the school
mistress wrinkled up into an interrogation
point.
“School mistress,” the jester said, "on all
matters of education, your shapely head is
not hilly; it is as level as a new mown lawn.
But you don’t want to teach the baby gram-
mar, and you don’t wont him to speak good
English. You want him to be a baby and
you want to encourage him to indulge in baby
talk. In the years to come, when the pudgy
little fists will dig great tears out of the blue
eyes because the boy, can’t remember in just
what points there should and must be exact
harmony between the verb and the subject;
when he is confident that he will die before
he can remember how many fellows beside
“ad ante, cou,in or ihter,’ are followed by the
accusative; when he knows the world will
stand still for just two hours after school if
he can’t recall that all terminations in some-
thing or other take the what you may call it
after some kind of things; when he is so
trusting and has so much confidence inMr.
Davies that he is not only willing but anx-
ious to accept his statement that the sum of
the three angles of a triangle is equal to two
right angles, without going to the board to
prove his truthfulness by demonstration ;
along in those days the memory of
his baby talk will comes back to us
like sweet music- He will have trou-
ble enough with the English language and all
the appurtenances there unto to appertaining
by and by. “No,” he responded in answer to
silent inquiry of the pleasant-faced school-
mistress, “he does not know his alphabet,
thank heaven, and he will not be bothered
with it. Yes, he has alphabet blocks and
knows all the letters on them and many pre-
posterous stories about the pictures. Oh,
yes, he can count hear him now, counting
the pebbles, he has brought home from the
beach ‘one, frae, seven, free, seven; ten,free,
five, seven, free;"'certainly he can count. by
a system of his own, too, which is more than
most people have. Don’t make a prig of the
baby, school-mistress. From the day on
which they are six years old they must,uuder
the school system of the state begin to study,
and sit up straight, and behave properly and
speak correctly, and from that time untiljand
grave hives them, they livee and speak and
act, verbally speaking, they be, and do, and
suffer, under social and educational sur-
veillance. And I claim that at least six
years of the life of man and woman should be
free; free as the air; free to talk as the brook
runs, with untrammelled musicle prattle‘and
babble. 'Why here. a few weeks ago came a
melaneholy-looking child about four years
old, and in presence and hearing, pointed to
me, and said to his mother:
“Ma’ma, of whom is that gentleman speak-
ing ?”
“Poor little prigl My heart bled for him.
That afternoon I took the boy down by the
target, and taught him to say, ‘Ma’ma, what
is (let man speakin’ you about ?" and recon-
structed his general grammar on the same
easy basis, and—look me in the eye—it that
boy didn’t tau up like a young Indian in two
days, and he gained seven pounds in three
weeks.
“You see,” the jester concluded, in an
apologetic tone, for he had done an unusual
amount of preaching that day, “you see, we
haven’t a very broad experience in training
children ; we have only one chick to cluck
over and scratch for, but we’re bound; he
shan’t go to school until he’s through being a
baby, and we know, school mistress, that he’s
the happiest baby that ever mingled gram-
mar.

“Mrs. Jones has sent to borrow my bon-
net, and I don’t want to loan it it to her.

The weather is not yet quite cold enough
to send all the snakesto their winter quar-
ters, and story-writers are improving the
time. From the “ land of steady habits”
comes what the Waterbury American terms
a true adder story. A house. being removed
to a new site, is minus a chimney; but the
inmates remain. One night last week the
man of the house got up for a drink —of
water—and stumbled over something in the
room not there when he went to bed. He
hit it 'with his bare foot, thought it felt fun-
ny and reached down and put his hand upon
it. It felt funny some more, and he struck
a match. Perhaps a cold streak of lightning
or something almost as uncomfortable went
up and down the marrow of his backbone
about that time, for he saw that he had been
fooling around with a red adder two and a
half feet long. It had evidently come in
where the chimney went out, but fortunately
the Lthreepals in the room had worried it
into a state of stupidity. Another snake
was found in the house in the morning, and
was dispatched to the happy hunting grounds
to see its mate. The two were about five
feet long and as handsome a pair of red ad-
ders as ever frightened a household nearly
into fits.
“How are you, Brown ?” exclaimed Fen-
derson. “I have been on a regolar wild goose
chase, and I’m glad I’ve found you at last.
Fenderson supposes he must have said some-
thing pretty smart the way the boys laughed
but he can’t for the life of him tell what it
was—Boston Transcript.

A boy named Bill was feeling ill,
From cherries he had eaten,

And the pain was wholly beaten.

AT THE
A Colored Story.
He said she was his angel queen;
Just then the youth was rather green;
But when she laughed and shook herth
Hi8 color changed from green to red.
As shearose and turned her back
His countenance looked very block
In came her pa; the sudden fright
Made the sweet youth turn ghastly white.
Outside, helped by the parent’s shoe,
The chap was looking, oh, so blue!
And as he left that part of town,
One might have seen he was dun brown.
“But for her pa, I might have had her,”
He thought, an-gray he grew and madder
He saw a purple little cur; "
“I’ll look you, dorg, ”he groaned, “for her."
He kicked the pup, who hit him through,
And made the fellpw black and blue.
N ow at his home the youth was slate;
His ma was sleeping, he must wait.
She came right down, took him in hand,
And quickly then the boy was tanned.
Strange that these colors made him cry,
“I guess it’s time for me to dye.”
And then he died and went to Hades
Where of the colors every shade is. -—Puck.

Why Mother is Proud.
Look in his face, look in his eyes,
Roguish and blue and terribly wise—
Roguish and blue, but quickest to see
When mother comes in as tired as can be;
Quickest tofiad her the nicest old chair;
Quickest to get to the top of the stair;
Quickest to see that a kiss on her cheek
Would help her far more than to chatter, to
speak.
Look in his face, and guess, if you can,
Why mother is proud of her little man.
The mother is proud-I will tell you-this ;
You can see it yourself in her tender kiss.
But why? Well, of all her dears
There is scarcely one who ever hears
The moment she speaks, and jumps to see
What her want or her wishes might be.
Scarcely one. They all forget,
Or are not in the notion to go quite yet
But this she knows, if her boy is near,
There is somebody certain to want to hear.
Mother is proud, and she holds him fast,
And kisaes him first and kisses him last;
And he holds her hand and looks into her
face,
And hunts for her spool which is out of
place,
And proves that he’loves her whenever he
can;
That is why she; is proud of her little man:

Leasing ofa Railroad by the New
York and New England R. R.
The New York and New England Rail-
road Company has effected a lease of the
Danbury and Norwalk Railroad, which it
wants for the transportation of freight to and
from New York. Its through western freight
will come over the Erie to Fishkill where
the two roads connect,but New York freight,
including what it can obtain from the Penn-
sylvania road, can be given more direct trans-
portation to the main line by going over the
Danbury and Norwalk and for the remainder
of the way by steamboat; One important
feature of the new arrangement is that the
New York and New England Road has made
a contract with the Iron Steamboat Com-
pany, of New York, to run two of their
boats daily between Bell’s Island (Norwalk)
or immediate vicinity and New York city.
Of course this involves the continuation of
the Danbury track to the shore. It is
stated that the managers of the N. Y., N. H.
dc H. Railroad made a trip to Danbury last
week for the purpose of leasing the Dan-
bury road. It is in "accordance with the new
arrangement that Mr. R. P. Flower resigned
the Presidency of the Danbury and Norwalk»
and James W. Hyatt, Norwalk, was elected
his successor.
The trains on the New York and New
England road will commence running from
Fishkill on the Hudson river, opposite New-
Bergh, Monday morning at ten o’clock, and-
will arrive at Boston at half-past six in the
evening. A transfer sreamer will run some;
the river to Newburgh, where a connection
will be made with the Erie branch road. It
is expected that a large amount of coal will
be carried over the road, benefitting Water-
bury, Hartford and other places along the
line.
The surveyors of the Vanderbilt Parallel
road have arrived in this city, having sur-
veyed the line east from Darion. Mr. S. F.
Curtiss, who;is the chief of the party, said
to the writer this morning that he had com-
pleted the survey as far as Brook’Lawn,
northwest of the city. “ There is very little
to tell about the survey,” said he. “ We are
prosecuting it wholly without reference to
the other Parallel. We cross their line sev-
eral times, judging from the evidences of it
we meet, and I suppose that in general the
two routes deviate much. There may be
another party working east of the Connecti-
cut river,” he replied in answer to an in-
quiry, “ but that is something I don’t know
about. We are under instructions to survey
the line as far as New Haven, and that is all
I know about the matter.”—Bfidgeport Far-
mar.
Dancing.
Here is what a secular paper says about
dancing:
A great deal can be said about dancing;
for instance, the chief of police of New York
city says that three-fourths of the abandoned
girls in this city .were ruined by dancing.
Young ladies allow gentlemen privileges in
dancing, which, taken under any other cir-
cumstance, would be considered as improper.
It requires neither brains nor good morals to
be a good dancer.” As the love of the one
increases, the love of the other decreases.
How many of the best men and women are
skillful dancers? In ancient times the sexes
danced Separately. Alcohol is the spirit of
beverages. So sex is tuc spirit of the dance;
take it away and let the sexes dance separa-
tely and dancing would go out of fashion
very soon. Parlor dancing is dangerous.
Tippliug leads to drunkenness and parlor
dancing leads to ungodly balls. Tippling
and parlorjdancing sow to the wind, and both
reap the whirlwin 2. Put dancing in the
crucible, apply the acids, weigh it, and the
verdict of reason, morality and religion is,
“Weighed in the balance and found want-
ing."—Jour:1al of Omnzerce.
The Love that Honors.
Of all the love affairs in the world,'none
c =n surpass the true love of a big boy for his
mother. It is a love noble and honorable in
the highest degree to both. I do not mum
merely dutiful affection. I mean .a love
which makes a boy gallant and courteous to
his mother, saying toi everybody plainly that
he is fairly in love with her.. Next to the
love of her husband, nothing so CTOW.H a
