100 MUCH STYLE. Love had iU birth in a cottage. But Boon began putting on airs, For he said the old house was homely, And needed too many repairs, The ceilings were low, and the par'ors Unsuited to stylish display, , So Love with his youthful partner Deter reined to move away. Love purchased a modern dwelling, Where everything was en suite, A very palatial mansion In a very palatial street; And out of their rural cottage Did Love and his better half Depart, with no pann of sorrow. To worship the golden calf. She went to wedding receptions, To parties, concerts and balls, And the rest of her time devoted To shopping and making cal's; . Was band-in hand with old Plutus, Who tried his best, I'll engage, To make this couple imagine They lived in the Golden Age. He had his clubs and his dinners, Where ladies were not received, And among the breakers and brokers Was oft of his cash relieved; And Love, that by manv a token Its tender regard displays, Was taught to be civil-spoken And free from ola -fashioned ways. Their children were watched by nurses, And kept in such regal pomp, There wasn't a chance for a frolic, No, never a chance for a romp; And the prattle of youthful voices, And the clinging of baby arms,' For these very stylish parents Had no very special charms. And Love who is never formal On being left in the lurch. For a cherry and rosy corner i One morning began a search; There were damask and satin curtains, Velvet and plush around, I And over the stately mansion ; Elegant things were found. Mirrors that came from Venice, j , Clear a? Jtaliau skies, Rugs in their depths concea'ing j Turkish and Tyrean dyes; j Treasures from loom and quarry, i Glinting with many a spark, j Like flashes of lighting playing Like eliin sprites in the dark. But never a cozy corner Wbere Love could make sweet delay, Forgetting the losses and the crosses And -troublesome cares of the day;- j And back to his native dwelling Went Love and he sighed the while, And said.- "There isn't a place for me In a house where there's too much style.' In his Own Coin. "Is this seat engaged?" he asked of the prettiest girl in the car, and, finding that it wasn't, he put bis sample box in the rack and braced himself for solid en joyment. "Pleasant day"' said the girl, coming for him before he could get his tongue unkinked. "Most bewildering day, isn't it?" "Ye yes," stammered the drummer. He wasn't in the habit of playing pitcher in this kind of match, and 'the position of catcher didn't fit him as tightly as his pantaloons. "Nice weather for traveling," con tinued the girl; "muoh nicer than when it was cold. Are you perfectly com fortable?" "Oh, yes, thnaks!" murmured the drummer. t "Glad of it," resumed the girl, cheer fully. "You don't look so. Let ma put my shawl under your head, won't you? "Ualn't Tnn -rafliaf. eit nnvt Via -will. dow, and let me describe the landscape to yn?" "No, please," he muttered; 'I I'm doing well enough.' ' "Can't I buy you some peanuts, or a book? Let me do something to make tne trip , happy! Suppose I slip my arm around your waist! : Just lean forward a trifle so lean!" "You'll have" to excuse me!" gasped the wretched drummer. "I I don't think you really mean it!" : "You look so tired," she pleaded, . t . 1 i a -i:i l . "i j - l i i(i,iti i .iiii iiitu ill run r I',,,, w uu i , i i my shoulder? No one will notice. Just lay yon r head right down and I'll tell you stories." "No no, thanks! I won't to-day! I'm very comfortable, thank you!" and the poor drummer looked helpless. "Your scarf-pin is coming out. Let . me fix it. There!" and she arrayed it deftly. "At the next Btation I'll get you ft cup of tea, and when we arrive at pur destination you 11 let me call on you? and she smiled an anxious prayer right np into his pallid countenance. "I think I'll go away and smoke," said the drummer, and hauling down his gripsack, he made for the door, knee ' deep in the grins showered upon him by his fellow passengers. "Strange!" murmured the girl to the lady in front of her, "I only did with him jnst what he was making ready to do with me, and, big and strong as he is, he conldn'f stand it. I really think women have stronger stomachs than men, and, besides that, there isn't any smoking car for them to fly to for ref nge. I don't understand this thing." But she settled back contentedly all the same; and at a convention of drum mers held in the nmoker that morning.it was unanimously resolved that her seat was engaged, so far as they were con cerned, for the balance of the season. j Detroit Free Press. Naturally Literary. Janet Hamilton lived in the town of Coatbridge in Lanarkshire, if I am not mistaken. I should like to tell you what can bo done by one to whom God has given a great love of books. J anet Ham iJton was the daughter of a shoemaker, who employed one journeyman, and, as might be reasonably supposed, she be came the wife of that journeyman (laughter) at a very early age, earlier than I should recommend in similar cases. However, during her life she had a family of ten children, most of whom, I believe, grew up to manhood and wo manhood (hear, hear). But she never went to school, and her mother, who was the shoemaker's wife, who taught her to read, did not learn to read till she was 50 ; she becamu blind at 60, and she lived. I think, until she was 75 or 76. As for the points of her life, she never saw a mountain, she never saw any river but the river Clyde, and she was never twenty miles away from her own humble dwelling. She read in childhood, at five or six years f of age, Bible stories, little stories that her mother procured for her, and at eight years of age she found, by accident, on the beam of a weaver's loom in her neighborhood, two volumes, one was "Paradise Lost," and the other was Allan Ramsay's poems. She read with extraordinary eagerness, and did not for get what she read, as some of us are apt to do. r She read through the Tillage library, history,:biography, travels, and when jhe got to Shakespeare, Shakespeare was like a revelation to her, Cheers. J She lind no words in which she could ex press her admiration for his writings, and she said that in those days it was not considered a very good thing for serious people to read Shakespeare, f Laughter. J There was a hole in the wall in her house near the chair on which she nursed her children, and where she worked at some kind of tambour frame; and when people came in she put the Shakespeare into the hole in tlie wall so that it might not be seen, and her con duct critizised. She said - that in her childhood her mother had led her every morning after she could read, to read a chapter in the bible, which was done without intermission till she left her home and had a home of her own. Her love of books was her ruling passion, not withstanding the character of her child hood and the work she had to do.- So far as I j know, nothing was neglected, but she suffered from sitting up to read till 2 o'clock in the morning, for she be lieved that it had the effect of very much injuring and at last depriving her of her sight. Somebody asked her how, having never been to school, she wrote so ac' curately not only in a newspaper, but she wrote also for one of Uasseli a pub lications when 54 years of age, and it is almost impossible now to read ner writ ing, the letters are so curiously formed; but she was asked how she came to write so grammatically, and she replied: "You may as well ask why the lark can sing, God had given her not. as Sir David Dundas said, "a great love of books,' but a natural gift of grammar. Laugh ter. This old lady has written poems, of which, if there were time, I would have quoted two or three, but certainly there are some of them which, if placed anions the Doems of Burns in a volume of his, no one would for a moment doubt they were the production of the greatest of all the ocotcn poets. roni John Bright p Birmingham speech. Brother Gardner' Latent Observations. The president ordered thirteen win dows : to be raised, the ice in the water- pail to be renewed, and all the dogs turned out of the room, and then said: "When you cum across a man who has no vices or weaknesses, drap him as you would a hot 'tater. De Lawd intended man to be mo' or less weak, wicked, an' wretched. It was not de ideah to turn out a perfect man. If it had been we should! have had neither religion preach ers nor de Bible. Airth would have bin Heaben, an' dar would have bin no call. "Natur' sometimes turns out a pusson widoun cruue.iust as she turns out one- eyed colts and three-legged calves. Such pussons soon become known as either fools or lunatics. It am agin natur's way to bring men into dis world wid an angel's wings al ready half grown. An' it am a leetle suspicious to find a too good man. When you diskiver a human bein who isn't lame $omewhar who never deceives, cheatsj lies, envies, covets who goes about satisfied wid de weather, craps, an himself who won t bet, drink, go to de circus, or look upon a h083 race, you have f pun a man to be let alone. He too good. Natur' made him fur an an gel and forgot to put him in heaben, "I like a man who has weaknesses an' sins. Den I know he am a feller-mortal who was put on airth to be saved. I like a man who has has sickness, heartaches, an' grievous trouble. Den I am sartin of a man who has sympathy, l lite a man who has been foollish 'naff to git drunk and strong 'nuff to kick de temp- tashun over a seben-rail fence. Den you know whar to find him.

"When a man tells me dat he has be come so good dat he feels like bustin', I go right home an' put an extra padlock on my kitchen doah. When a man sheds tears ober de condishnn of de far-off heathen, de heathen at home had better be keerful how dey lend him money. De inan whose conscience won't let him go to places of amusements has been known to elope wid another man's wife. De man who can't remember dat he eber used an oath or tole a lie has bin fol- lered across de ocean an arrested fur robbin widders an' orphans. De man who alius w'ars a smile am now sarvin his third term in de State prison "Let me say to you in summin up dat de man who sins an' knows it an' wants to do better am sooner to be trusted dan dei man who neber sins an' feels dat he am good 'nuff. If you tie to a man, let it be to a man who feels dat he am weak an' sinful. You will den have a pardner who am not a freak of natur. Let us now embarrass ourselves wid de regular order of bizness."--Detroit Free Press. Sol a Flattering Exhibit. It is sometimes difficult not to ques tion the reality of modern progress, and to ask whether it is not in the main a sham. Take a little illustration which Las just come under notice: Herbert Spencer, in carrying out his elaborate system of phylosophy, gathered together a i vast mass of sociological observations and phenomena, which he caused to be arranged systematically in the most con venient order for reference, and which he published in eight folio parts, at a very moderate price. Yet, though there is abundance of talk about social science in; these days, and though Herbert Spen cer's "Descriptive Sciology" contained the most necessary and invaluable infor- mation appertaining to that branch of human knowledge, it was found impos sible to sell the book in sufficient num bers to avoid loss. In this country, in fact, the sale was so restricted that after the third number, the Ap pletons refused to reproduce them. On this one work Mr. Spen oer has incurred ' a positive loss of sixte3n thousand dollars, for he had to publish it at his own expense. Now when we reflect that groat fortnnes are made by the publication of flash Eapers, dime novels, the most abomina le literary trash, and that the New York Weekly, a vehicle of kitchen romance, has a larger circulation than any journal in the United States, it is impossible to retain the conviction that the progress of the age is as rapid as is commonly pre tended. And such facts as we have cited are trustworthy evidence of the actnal nature of the intellectual situation. The literature people buy to suit themselves, not to satisfy a mere fashion. The New York Weekly ancf the dime novels, and the flash paper show the intellectual level of the majority, and assuredly it is very little in advance of that of a cen tury ago. . - -" Some of the English society papers have at last found cause for a grievance against the Prince of Wales. It is al leged that on a recent occasion in the House of Lords, the Prince, desiring to vote on the measure before the House, applied his personal cloture to the de bate, suggesting rather peremptorily, that the division b taken without farther argument, as he watted to go hbme. Anybody who has listened to the dreary debates in the . House of Lards will sustain the Prince, no matter what the society papers say. MISSlStf USES. It is conquer or die with the good doc tor; but the patient is expected to do the 'dying. A thirteen-year-old girl in Louisiana has a heavy beard two inches long. This sounds like the talk oi an advance agent for a circus. A Dutch judge in Nebrrska on convic tion of a culprit for having four wives, decided: "He hash bunishment plenty: I lifs mit one!" Give a young man good clothes and a good character and he is fixed. He can not do much with either one alone or both without energy. Electricity and pneumatic tubes are taking the place of cash-boys in various cities. They don t talk back nor hide un der counters to escape calls. A carefnl perusal of the Philadelphia Ledger brings to light the startling in formation that a man has recently died in lhat city. Maps furnished upon ap plication, to newspaper men. Outsiders need not apply. An exchange says that sharks on the Atlantic coast are unusually stupid this year, because they grab at an old suit stuffed with hay when a schoolma am is kicking the water two rods off. In jus tice to the shark let it be remembered that although he is not strictly gramniv- oroua nor herbbiverous, he prefers hay to sawdust and cotton-batting. The price of land in the heart of the city of London has recently been estab lished by the sale of a building site at the corner of St. Thomas Apostle and Queen streets, Cheapside, a short dis tance east of St. I'aul s. lhe plat con tained 10C0 square feet and was sold in 1873 for 49u0, equal to $23,755. Lately it was bought back for 10,000, equal to $18,500. Two of the brokers were watching lady who was sitting in the gallery yes terday, and wondering who she was, when they noticed another brofcer walk up and speak to her. "Now I know who she is," said one of the brokers; "she's Jack's wife." "How do you know?" "Because he neither took off his hat nor shook hands when he spoke to her." That settled it. Oil City Derrick. Alvah Clarke & Sons, of Cambridge, are constructing the largest telescope in the world tor the Jjick Ubservatory in California. It will have a thirty-six inch object glass, and will cost $o0,000 with the mounting. To test this instru ment the firm is constructing a tower of brick supporting an immense iron cylin der with the necessary gearing. The in strument will be finished within about two years. In this country, with "a population of 50,000,000, there are 4,204,362 persons above the age of 21 years who cannot write. Of this number 2,056,463 are white, 1,747,000 negroes, about 800,000 Indians and 100,000 Asiatics. It is esti mated that in almost every State in the union, and in the country as a whole.the balance of political power, so far as numbers, is or can bo in the hands of the illiterate voters. A countrvman visiting Cleveland took a ride in a horse car. When he desired to stop the vehicle he pulled vigorously at one of the hand straps dangling from the rod above him. Then he sat down After repeating this operation three times he was noticed by the conductor. who gave the proper signal and stopped the car. As the countryman dismounted in confusion he was heard to remark "So many fixinson the goldarned thing ud mix anybody. A company has been recently organ ized in Paris, with a capital of 2.000.000 franco, for the purpose of establishing in New lork a museum modeled closely on the Musee Grevin. sitnated on theboule varde Montmatre. The place will be known as Eden Musee Grevin, of New York, and will be situated somewhere between Union and Madison squares, and not far from, if on Broadway. The mu scum, it is thought, will be ready early in 1833. Pennsylvania may fairly claim to have the stupidest man in the country. Ho is a farm hand near Lebanon and was hired to plow a ten-acre field. His boss.wish ing him to plow a straight furrow.direct ed bis attention to a cow grazing in an adjoining field and told him to drive di rectly toward her. On bis return, half an hour later, he found the cow had left her place and was walking about, while the hired man, in pursuit of her, was driving a zig-zag furrow all over the field. - A San Francisco paper that has so long opposed Chinese immigration that it feels nothing but enmity for all for eigners, says savagely: "Twenty-five thousand greasy and unkempt immi grants are the daily average now land ing at Castle Garden for distribution throughout our country. The land and government that can digest the ignor ance, crime, squalor, disease and dirt that is embraced in an annual million of immigrants must have the stomach of an ostrich. Mr. Lambart of Beau Pare, Ireland, one of whose daughters is Maid of Honor to Queen Victoria, has had nine daugh ters, of whom eight survive. Lord Al fred Paget.Clerk Marshall to the Queen, has eight daughters all unmarried.There is a prevailing feeling in England to-day that Protestant nunneries must soon come into vogue. The Queen, mean while, shows her sympathy as best hhe can towards these quiversful, but Maids of Honor rarely marry. Pn. f. Sample.

My reputation has been acquired by being candid with my patients, through j ears of successful practice, ootn in f.urono ami in mis country, anu studiously keeping up wiih the age. I know the cause and remedy needed, not by guesswork, but by year of experience. In my treatment of many diseases T make use of a new method of cure. The treatment is simple and the most feasible of all- There Is no unpleasant sensation whatever attending the treatment. 1 Invite all persons afflicted to visit ami freely convince themselves, leav ing me to verify the assertion that there has never existed a remedy so startling and immediate in I us effects. 1 hese noted curative a'ds, as handled in my practice, are endor ed and approved by the faeuliies of both Kurope and America. The beneficial effects are perceptible ainiostfrotn the start. Cases regarded incurable, and of years standing, yield to its mild but wonderful inilueiice. And in no case can the treat ment be attended w.tli the least danger, thereby tes tif ing it to be the most harmless agent in therapeu tics. Those who wish to apply for advice or treatment may confidently do so wit hout hesitation or diffidence, as the most timid may rely on that inviolable sccrecy whirli has already proved the basis of an extensive professional reputation abroad. Cases can be treated by coriespendence when a per sonal Interview is impossible, providing the patients will minutely detail all of their bodily inflrmaties and mental disturbances written In a simple and natural stj'le, anil In accordance witli the necessary derails of their own feelings. Oi.e personal interview, however. e'eivvith patterns residing at a di-tance is highly de sirable when practicable, and will more than repay the patient the expense and trouble of, a trip to Port land. The advantage of even a visit are apparent and manifold.
