Doctors are Ve >t to be men ol' one idea. Mr. usset's digestive apparatus was rtainly out of order ; but little m iss Joyce's heart-that was quite r iothcr thing. Mr. Russet was a young the-. ogical student, with palo brown Sir, an intellectual face, and a ight stoop in the shoulders ennie Joyce was a farmer's rose eceked daughter, the eldest of a hI rge family of children, and one t those thrifty girls who under ar,d the whole theory and prac- ~ ce of housekeeping from Alpha g Omega. To become a minis or ~r's wife was a visible promotion >her, anid she exulted in it, in herR uiet way. But to be separated 'om him for six whole weeks at was a trial. sa 'The time will soon pass, my yve,' said Reuben, in the slightly en atronizing manner which he ft'ccted toward Pen nie. 'Yes, I know it will, dear,' said ennie, valiantly trying to smile. 'And I shall write every day.' 'That will be so good of you!' rid Pen nie. 'And recally, you know, Pennie, et man whose mission is to reach ie soul ought to have a little P nowledge of human nature.' 'Yes, of course,' assented the irl. 'And where can one obtain it c > well as at one of these great umnan hives where the fashion-. ble world congregates ?' G 'To be sure !' said Pen nie. 'I only wish you were going,' e added, affectionately. h Pennie sighed softly. 'Of course that is out of the I uestion.' said sht'. Farmier Joyce sho'k his head then he hear'd the dictum of Lbe. tedical man. 'Saratogy, indeed !' said he. 'l on't believe Saratogy is a bit etter than our spring down by he maple grove. I'd venture tenb .Russet'd be niell enough if ~ e'd go out and n'eed onionls half .u bout' every morn ing ; an d be ides, I've heerd there's a lot ofe emptationi at a place like Sara '1 dare say,' said Peunie, with ild superiority, 'for some people. ut Reuben is above that sort of ing.' 'Humph !' said Farmer Joyce. ain't so sure of that.' 'Father, how can you?' cried e indignant girl, bristling up ke a hen-canarv. 'Human natur' is human natur' btbr it's at Saratogy or any ,her placC,' stoutly maint ined ie fiarmer. Mr. Russet went to Saratoga id took rooms at a fashionable >arding-house, near the Hatborn ring. He walked up and down e elm-sbaded paths with two lit w devotional books, of a morning, tned to the band, and studied t eiling sentences for possible rmons, in the afternoon, and god himself modestly into the ittering ball-rooms of the ion ur hotels at night, wben the Ger an was in full career. -ierely to study my fellow-crea res!' said Mr. Russct, as he ad sted his eye-glasses. 'Such a delightful study !' said iss Gushington Gordon, who azed with jewels, and wore long ained skirts, such as Mr. Russet ver bad beheld at Raspberry Ile. Miss Uushington Gordon had o best rooms at the house, the rgest wardrobe, and the most illiant necklaces. Rumor called r a great heiress, and Mr. Rus t found her very agreeable. She had big, purple-blue eyes, ,ir of the real Roman gold, a mplexion which was undeniably work of art, and a soft, languid ice, whose syllables dropped )>n her lips like globules of sil r1. 'Life is such a vacuum!' said Miss ishington Gordon. 'My experience exactly!' said e young theological student, io was fast losing his head. 'At least,' corrected the beuty, have always found it so until w. But your grand grasp of bjects, your reading of the hook existence has somehow awak ed me to a new sense of things.' Mr. Russet grew red to the ry roots of his hair, with a ,asurable tingling. 'I am but too proud.' he stam Jred, 'if I bave succeeded in un veling any problem which-' 'Oh !' cried Miss Gushington rdon, 'have I said too much ? -ay, pray forgive my impulsive. ss! I am tho cr-eaturo of emo She put out a little, sparkling ,nd with bewitching frankness to e spectacled student. Mr. Russet ,ve it a gentle pressure, and for t to drop it again. That was the first day that be rutted to write to little Penelope >yce, at the red farmhouse in aspber-ry V ale. 'She won't be so foolish as to pect a letter by every mail,' he id, a little impatiently. At the end of the six weeks he me home. Pennie met him at e railway station, with her dim ed lips put up for a kiss. 'I may as well tell you, at once, mnnie-' he began. - But just theni Deacon Oberne me up, with that vise-like hand ip of his, and there was no ance to say more until they ~rted at the cross-roads by the 'Perhaps it is just as weiQ' said e theological student, to him !f. 'I'll write to her that I have anged my mind, and engaged yself to Antoinette Gushington ordon. I ought to have written om Saratoga, but one dreads to nd such a letter.' Mr. Russet felt as if he had be Lved very like a scoundrel, now at he was removed from the agnetic influence of the heiress ud her jewels. 'But of course,' he pleaded, be re the tribunal of his own con ience, 'a man devoted to my pro. ssion should select the sphere in bich be can do the most good. nd with Antoinette's wealth and sition, I am morally certain of Lpid advance in the world.' But, somehow, the letter would t get itself written. To do a >nt.emptible action, is one thbing, >confess it boldly to one's fellow reu..r, rom auohrmfI, Two or three Jays passed, and still Reuben Russet could not bring, hinself to tell Pennie Joyce about the Saratoga heires, with the purple b,lue eyes and the low, silver-syllabled voice. Peunie watched him, wistfully. 'He is changed,' she admitted to herself'; 'but of course I couid hardly expect him always to be just the same. Only-only-' And the tears camue into Pen nie's eves, she soarcely knew why, and she blamed herself for being 'such a fooli4i littLu goose.' But one sultry evening, Mr. Russet did force himself to write the letter-a vague, mysterious sort of missive containinr onlyi one plain fact-that he was Cn gaged to Miss Gusbiigtou Gor don. And, as he wrote it, he felt more and more what a fatal mis take he had made in giving up Pennie Joyce's true, woLuanly heart for the artificial smiles of the Saratoga belle. As he folded and sealed it, the landlady's little boy banded in the evening mail-two papers and a letter. A letter from one Ernest Val dez, whose acquaintance he had made at Sarataga-an idle, good humored young fellow, with no barm in him, and a deal of latent good. Mr. Valdez wrote We are all progressing much the same as ever. We drink the waters, we criticise the music, we watch for the incoming trains. By the way, you surely haven't forgotten that tall girl at your house, with the curious pansy colored eyes and the magnificent ly-dyed hair? Miss C-ushington Gordon, you know ? Well, she has turned out a humbug-an im position-a stupendous fraud. It seems she is only a lady's-maid, the whole time, and she has been skilifuliy masque;rading in her mistress' wardrobe, during thit lady's absence at the sick-bed vf a dying relation. 'Mrs. Montague has come back the 'daw in borrowed feathers' has been stripped of her gay plu mage, and Miss Gushington Gor doti, with her imitation diamouds, and second-band airs and graces has disappeared entirely from the arena. 'Some say she has been arrested, I others declare that Mrs. Montague has forgiven her, on condition of her retiring to her native place, in an obscure English town. At all events, she has vanished from tbe stage of action, and the places that knew her once now know her no more.' Three or four closely-written pages of gossip and clever satire followed, but Reuben Russet never paused to glance at these. He sprang from his chair with an exclamation (of relief. 'Thank Providence !' he exclaimi ed, 'that I am no longer bound to that false-hearted, hollow pr-e tender! Little Pen nie is worth ten thousand of her.' lHe tore up the letter of con fesQion, and went str-aight to spend the evening at the Joyce farmhouse, and innocent little Pennie never knew how nearly that season at Saratoga had cost her her lover. As for Reuben Russet, he is a wiser if not a sadder man. And be wants no more lessons in hu man nature. A Pooa APPETITE.-A rather seedy-looking customer came in to a restaurant on Austin avenue and said to the proprietor, 'What do you ask for nicely-cooked beef steak, well done. with onions ?'

The subject selected by sev iral publishers for Sunday school essorns ir September 25, is the )opular subject of Temperance; ve may, therefore, not inappro ?riately fill our Sunday school col Imn with something about tem )erauce in the Sunday school. While Sunday school instrue ion should be directed to the horough and symmetrical dcvdi )pment of the highest type of nanhood and womanhood, aid nust, tberefore, embrace all sub ects bearing upon such develop nent, it nust never be forgotten ,bat the Sunday school is not a gymnasium for the training of .ultivated ladies and gentlemen, ior a school of morals foi the pro. luction of a high style of moral Uharacte, but that its great aim s to savo souls through the pre entation of gospel truth. Polite nanners aud high moral qualities aust therefore 'be enjoined in iunday school teaching. from a ,ospel point of view. And the ruth should be recognized and mpbasized that to attain to the 'tll statue of a man and a gentle. nan one must be a christian. The 'unday school is, therefore, no >lace in which to inculcate let ons of temperance or of any ther moral quality, from purely ocial or political or economic onsiderations. Nor has any one dea, fanatical reformer the right o use the Sunday school as the Lrena in which to display his en ;usiasmri and ability in pressing he claims of his pet subject ; nor bould any one be permitted to hrust such subjeet into undue mportiace, to the neglect of thers.1 But on the other hand, no Sun !ay school in which this subject ignored or neglected is doing ts full work and coring up prop rly ,o the demands of the times. kfter all, there is nothing as a afa-guard against the evils of ntemperanco comparable with the ducation of'public sentiment. So ret oath-bound societies, ine riate-asylu ms and prohibitory aws arc all powerless without his. You may bind a man with >aths as awful as hell, and as true .s heaven, you may lock him up n an inebriate asylum, you may >rand him and punish him s a criminal a;;ain]st the laws i the hind, but none of these hings can give to him an enlight ned reason or a pure and rugged noral character. Thbese qualities an be secured only by the use of iroper influence and thorough raining. And these can be sip >lied at no time so effectively as a youth, and through no channel nore appropriately than the Sun lay school. TUhe stereotyped unday school speech has in. ormed us several times, that the unday school is the nursery of ho church, and the young are the iope of the country. The easiest Lnd surest way, then, to have ober men in the church and in ,e country is to catch thema ubile they are young and train hem in the Sunday school. Seize he boys before their habits are ~rystalized and their characters "ormed. and imbed in their plastic ninds and hearts the pure and powerful principles of morality Laught in the New Testament. Dropping all cant and fanaticism n this subject, let every Sunday school teacher aim at the devel r2pment of such manly and heroic moral power and the cultivation oif such im-plicit relian--e upon Christ, in those committed to his c,arc, as shall secure them against the temnptation to intemperance with which they may have to contend. To the patient, faithful. prayerful discharge of our duty in this direction we are called by every consideration of philan trophy, of patriotisra, and of pure i.eIi gion. What maintains one vice, would bring up two ehildren T&BLE ETIQUETTE. There are a great number people who behave well other wise, but at the table they d, things that, if not absolutely outre and ensemble are at least pianissimo and sine die. It is with a view to elevating the popular taste, and etherealiz iIg, so to speak, the manners and customs of our readers, that we give below a few hints on table etiquette: If by writing an article of this kind we can induce one man who now wipes his hands on the table cloth to come lip and take higher ground and wipe them on bi. pants, we shall feel amply repaid. If you cannot accept an invita tiori to dinner do not write your regards on the bock of a pool check with a blue pencil. This is not regarded as ricochet. A simple note to your host in forming him that your washer woman refuses to relent is suffi cient. On seating yourself at the table draw off your gloves and put then in your lap under your napkin. Do not put them in the gravy, as it would ruin the gloves and cast a gloom over the gravy. If you have just cleaned your gloves with benzine you leave them out in the front yard. If you happen to drop gravy on your knife blade, back near the handie, do not run the blade down your throat to remove the gravy, as it might injure your epiglotis, and it is not considered embon. point anyway. When you are at dinner do not take up a raw oyster on your fork and playfuliy ask your host if it is dead. Remarks about death at dinner are in very poor taste. Pears should be held by the stems and peeled gently but firm. ly, not as though you were skin ning - dead horse. It is not bon toll. Oranges are held on a fork while being peeled. and the face tious style of squirting the juice into the eye of your hostess is now au revoir. Stones in cherries or other fruit should not be placed upon the tablecloth, but slid quietly and unostentatiously into the pocket of your neighbor or noise lessly tossed under the table. If you strike a worm in youi fruit do not call attention to it by mashing it with the nnt cracker. This is not only uneount, but it is regarded in the best society a~ blase and exceedingly vice versa Macaroni should be cut into short pieces and eatens with an even graceful motion, not absorbed by the yardi. In drinking wvine, when you get to the bottom of your glass do not throw your head back and draw in your breath like the exhaust of a bath tub in order to get the last drop, as it engenders a feeling of the most depressing melancholy among the guests. After eating a considerable amount do not rise and un buckle your vest strap in order to get more room, as it is exceedingly au fait and deshabille. If by mistake you drink out of your finger bowl, laugh beartily and make some facetious remark which will change tbe course 0f conversation and renew the friend ly feeling among the members o: the party. Ladies should take but one glass of wine at dinner. Other wise there might be difficulty ir steering the male portion of the procession bome. If one of the gentlemen should drop a raw oyster into his boson and should have trouble in fishing it out. do not make facetious re marks about it, but assist him t< find it, laughing heartily all th4 time.-Laramnie Boomerang. D)RAMAnIC NoTE.-When he re turned to his seat in tho theatr< anid said be had just stepped oul to see some one, she gravely re sponded, 'It must have been tb< Evil One ;' and when the young man asked 'if she saw the clovei foot, she turned up her prett2 nose and said, 'No, but I smell th< clove in breath.' [New Raven Reaieter. THE MAN IN THE MOON. The disk of the moon,as is very apparent, is not of uniform bright. ness, but is diversified by dark areas bere and there. These dark areas are so arranged as to repre. sent tbe eyes, nose and -mouth of a human being, and the -whole disk represents, passably well, a human face. Not all people, how. ever, can see this resemblance. Some who cannot see the face can see a man and a woman carrying between them a bucket of water. The man stands on the left side of the disk, the woman on the right. To some the dark spaces appear to have the same shape as North and South America, as if the Western Continent was reflected in the moon. The Tartars see more of these, but their 'man in the moon' is a wood-cutter, bearing on his back a bge bundle of wood and sup porting himself with a staff. The Japanese see the form of a rabbit in a sitting posture. His long ears stand erect, and before him is a large - mortar. In his forepaws he holds a pestle, with which he is grinding rice after the manner of the Japanese. The Emperor Rodolph, who of ten observed the moon with the astronomer, Kepler, saw upon it the image of Italy. The ancie.nts recognized the resemblance of the moon to the human face, for the historian Plutarch wrote a trea tise contradicting the vulgaridea. 'Great fools,' said he, 'are they who think that they see a face on the moon. That which4hey think they see is an illusion. It is caused by fatigue of the eye, which makes light and shade where there is only uniformity.' How greatly he was taistaken was shown afterwards, when the telescope was invented. Under the powerful eye of this instru mert the surface of the moon ex hibits anything but uniformity. It equals in roughness the rough est portion of the earth's surface. Huge mountain craters are scat tered over the disk, and within many of these are smaller moun tains. Deep chasms and high ridges ,re abundant. From some of the mountains, long rays ex tend in every direction like streams of lava. Thbe telescope dispels all those resemblances which are so ap parent to the naked eye, butoeven with this aid not all people see alike. One likens the moon to a gree n cheese, while another thinks it resembles a body. of water frozen over with the riffles on its surfa.ce, and the craters are air-holes in the ice. Anothei simile, perhaps the most ridicu lous of all, is that of a pot of boil ing mush, the craters being the bubbles of air as they come up and burst on the surface. Some see only a cold, desolate, dead p)lanet, incapable of supporting life of any kind, while others see valleys, streams, canals and other ebaracteristics of mother earth. (Cin. Commercial. Mr. Flood, one of the bonanza millionairee, it is reported, means to outshine Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt by erecting on Fifth avenue, New York, a house which will be larger and more costly than the one now being completed by the latter. As the estimated cost of Mr. Vander bilt's house is $2,500,000, Mr. Flood will have to put up agreat many of his silver bricks to out shine Mr. Vanderbilt. A man of integrity will never listen to any reason against con science. People never attack religion but when they have an interest to at tack it. Half the ills we hoard in our hearts are ills biecause we hoard them. If slander be a snake it is's winged one ; it flies as well as it creeps.
