Within a hweek my hppes were crushed.. There calamity which has left me since a blighted and dispirited being. but just been ordained, and I was full of tho solemnity and the dignity yinew. position.

Booked, again a t the girls,'and oh, I recognized two fair Americans who appeared in Oxford during my last there and had been the objects of ray ato and heart stricken devotion, had I forgotten them. Cajolery d intrigue had once brought me into saine. room with them; but before I iind on opportunity for an introdnc theywere gone, and I saw them no Now was my time. Straight I . down the steps of the chancel and led.myself before the m like a knight as I thought, coming to deliver a maiden. "You would like "to ow whattoe subject of the window Is?.", ked blandly. "It is very old glass very quaint; allow me to explain it," I sailed fluently on. "Dear mel" the elder lady presently, when I to a pause, "hpw Interesting! What y happy idea to have the church own in this way, and what very nice choristers there are here; so intelligent x*and well behavedl" I thought this rather jTlrreleyant and was puzzled, but all ^praise, of the church just then was siihoney to me, and I said complacently, % 'TTes, the choir is very good; we take great - pains, and great attention is paid to dis ^jcipllne," Why the young Indies shonld ^have tittered, or the old lady have looked ? So ail-abroad, I could not guess; but as - people were beginning to come into church i?r considerable numbers I drew toward :V the jchancel steps, discoursing as I went, ' andTthen, as we reached the chancel gate, ^paused, intending, before we parted, to Linake some alluBlon to having met them in ^Oxford. The elderly lady, however, mis? took me. She stopped at the foot of the \ steps, where her head was still slightly ;?horo mine, and bringing her hand out of ^fier pocjret, where she had been fumbling, ;;j?pped~ a half crown into my palm and saidj/'JThere, my iittie man, that will do; ^nn^?gotlt all very nicely; now^i^jnust' iiost give you one kiss, my dear,'' and with ffi^ t yes I, was kissed publicly on my :j6vra:'chancel steps, under my own rood ^iscrcen,. before the eyes o? my own pastor and flock. "Oh, yes I dear little fellow," cried the young ladies, "he is so pert and etmnhig," and they too kissed me with ~g^t;rgoodwilL I stood with, flaming '" i and month agnpe, tho half, crown iri iriy liajud. watching them as they ij$ 'le/frit?-.^Tefreated down the ..aiele. j I Then, when they had disappeared, roused by the titter of ladies and the guffaws of . my. fellow clergy.- at,the vestry door, I tied hastily and: .buried by blushes among the registers an^su$>liqes ?t fae?yestry.j g ? It was useleWtorWam* iiHhat p?tlsTr.'' ' The conduct of the congregation next Sunday, when I stepped forth to read the lesson, proved that to demonstration. Of course such a story had spread like wild? fire. The church was crammed, and when in reading about David, who was "ruddy and withal of a beautiful countenance, ?' I came to the words, "Look not on his countenance or on the height of his stat? ure," there arose^such. a stifled laughter as sounded: fike^rthe* .windamong dry leaves^ ^stopped/ short, consumed with shame and mortification, unable to see the book for tears, and then, with an astute? ness I did not know I possessed, judi? ciously Mntedj away and was borne out like a child in the arnis of the basso blacksmith. It was a skillful stroke and might have retrieved me, but I could not brook to re? main there longer. By the assistance of the'archdeacon and tho consent of the bishop, who tried hard not to laugh while he gave it, I was transferred fo another county. Bat though no like blow fell on me there, I saw the attempt was useless. Did I go to school to catechise or exhort the boys, my presence was a signal for disorder.

If, sir, as I suppose, you are bringing your little brother to en? ter him at' the school, let me say that we have the .means,'.' and. he swished his band through the air, "of correcting that unbridled'and insubordinate demeanor which tho loss, no doubt, of a father, and the absence of parental control, has in? duced '' in him. I sec," said he, as the gaby - turned -crimson and shuffled from one foot -to the, other, "your, brother's pertness not unnaturally discomnoses you; "believe me,' I.attach no.blame to you, and : I think,'" he added significantly, "we can soon remedy it." My cup brimmed over. What exactly I said I will not repeat. Let me not for? get that I am a clergyman, ana that it Is my- duty alike to forgive my enemies and to eschew bad language; but for the nonce my language was very bad indeed, and very wrathful; and the matter was made' all the worse by the fact that the doctor was but a young man. ' 'Sir,'' I cried, "I took an honorable degree at Oxford when -you, were still being birched at school, and was a priest in holy orders -'before ever you were in coat tails. How " dare "you'gibe at my personal appearance, sir? How dare , you make a mock of my inflrmity> You^seerir so inhuman, and so mdecenttgfefond of the*most degrading part of your duties, that I would gladly leave this grinning oaf with you, and then he Would get the thrashing ho deserves for exulting in his father's disromfiture.

With this tirade I flung out of the room in a rage, and my son slunk out at my heels. I was speechless with fury till we got some distance from the house. Then, looking up, I saw that my wretched boy was sniggering still, aud in my mortifica? tion I struck him with my cane. There were several of the lads about, and he, poor fellow, was high and mighty in his new tail coat, and he felt?the indignity. lie lost his'-temper, as I had lost mine, and, turning on me, ho boxed my ears. ThiSj was too much. To what depth of con? tempt must I have fallen! I dropped on a bench, and burst-into tears?the bitter; ejsXLteau, X thmky&at ever man shed- - ? : I gave him money and sent him home alone, and then I wandered awoy in inde? scribable wretchedness. I was blind to all that passed; I neither saw nor cared where I went. I could not oven pursue one train of thought, however miserable. Not that any oblivion came mercifully to relieve me from my sufferings. I passed (through moment after moment'of exqui? site pain, but each seemed isolated, and to be endured by itself separately, and with out any continuity with either the mo? ments that went before or those which followed after. How the time went I do not know, but after what I thought was a ?great while I-found'myself sitting by a ? dull, dark stream, staring'gloomily Into It. I do not know what was passing through my mind; perhaps no settled thought had formed itself; but I was in a very abyss of despair. Suddenly I felt a little hand thrust into mine, and a child kissed me. I looked up and saw a villngo girl of 7 or 8 years old, very plain but for a pair of wistful eyes, who gazed pitifully at me and said, "Poo'boy!" From her lips I did not wince at the reproach of youth. Slowly I came outbf the dark moodin which I was ready f?rvi know not what rash act; and in "talking to the little girl, and feeling her hand confidingly in mine, I gradually found composure and resignation. She was very shy, and even stupid, and, when I got; Ii er to speak, her voice was coarse, and she talked in a villainously provincial accent; but still, by her mute kindliness and fellow feeling, she had saved me from what I dared not contemplate, and I owed her a debt of gratitude which I could not pay. ; Alas! these milder moments were not for long. At last'I reached home, and found the boy, who had preceded me, had told his story from his own point of view, and my wife, perhaps rightly, took his port. "I suppose," she said with stately -censurer-"! suppose it is useless to hope that .jpu nre ashamed of yourself, but I "am ashamed of you.'-No wonder you look ;S5fbh^sfcbdby when y?ugi vor way to such ;^idiah j^mpprB-"- At;'your age to mind what you look like! You don't act like a man and you-don't deservo to be treated likoone. And tostriko tho poor boy be? fore the wlu>le_,schopl! .Oh, it was too bad!" 0f $M I dare say.-;it was; but it was not dis? creet to tell me so, and she does not know what I feel. Her chiding has brought back all myoid bitterness and gloom, and I think if I were now on that river bank again, not even the little girl would save me. But men aro weak, and for the present, for want of a convenient way over to the other side, I must stay on this and abide my life as best I can. When I am gone, if I go, this narrative may per-, haps lead a few to think not too harshly of mc?Jerome Yco in Belgravin. '. No Microbes in Tobacco. There is one thing about tobacco that has always surprised microscopists, and which is highly favorable to that distin? guished weed. It is the purest of all veg? etable substances when placed under a microscope. There is an entire absence of micro-organisms of every description. "While almost all else in nature, even some of the acids, are alive with animated sub? stances?bacteria, anhnalcuhn, microbes or fungi of some kind?tobacco is entirely free of everything of the kind. It pre? sents- nothing to the microscope but its fibers and texture?its organic structure. Nor does this condition appear to change. All through the different processes of its manufacture, after being removed from the stalk, it presents the samo appear? ance. The microbe appears to shun to? bacco, probably because of its destructive qualities to the lower organisms.?Globe Democrat. Tho More Noiso the Better. There is a peculiarity about the pheas? ants which.pijqbably does not apply to any' to 'any other wrdor animol on the globe; and this is the fact that no hunter was ever able, under any conceivable circum? stances, to surprise one or get within gun? shot othlm without being observed. The writer has tried the experiment frequent? ly, but never succeeded. The only way to get near enough lo a pheasant to shoot him is to. inake all the noise possible, In this way-tho'- bird can be approached as nearly as desired, but the moment the hunter stopsihe bird has flown with such rapidity that it seems to have been fired from a howitzer'/ Indeed, instances are frequent where they have flown with such velocity as to dash themselves to death against trees in their route.?Balti? more American.

The Normandy coast is lined with-villas and chalets from Hon fleur to Cherbourg, and right along to Nantes, built by speculative contractors whenever .they discover, some new spot, which a few newspaper paragraphs are to convert into a fashionable resort for sea bathing; hotels spring up like mush? rooms,' where those who are content to forfeit their individuality take their places ? at table d'hote like so many sheep. Their host increases the sum fixed per diem as equivalent for board and lodging by mak? ing those who arrive late for breakfast or dinner pay a fine, and by subjecting such as introduce spirits, candles or soap into his establishment to a momentary penalty. At table the visitor realizes the dreadful misfortunes which must have befallen the twenty-five little cobblers of the nursery rhyme as the dishes are passed along in front of them, and they aro - charged ex tortlonately. for liquids I baptized with names pompously recalling the -best Bor? deaux .andiBurgundy vintages, but which would not even pass muster with the ex? cise officers at the gates of Paris. The fruit, fish and meatare supplied from the French capital every morning, and the visitor soon learns to his cost that the gay city he has left- behind is the only place where fresh produce can be obtained forv money's worth. Hotel keepers and owners of boarding houses think that thejirivilege of inhaling ozone cannot be properly enjoyed, especi? ally during the dog days, unless quickened by a proportionate exudation of coin. Each year the price of food and apart? ments appears to increase, and the cost of the periodical emigration is equal to the sum required to keep any one for the rest of the year in Paris. Revolutions have been- caused by the rapacity of certain speculators whose interests clashed with tho material welfare of the people, but the French'submi t with lamblike humility to the exorbitant demands of the grand? children of mere wreckers, despoilers and smugglers who formerly plied their ne? farious business along this same sea coast. ?Cor. Philadelphia Times. Starred Into a Verdict. Jurymen are better off in these times than in the good old days, when it was the law to endeavor to starve them into a ver? dict. It is bad enough now to be put to loss of time and money, with little or in? adequate recompense, without being starved or fined in the bargain. In the early part of tho reign of Henry VIII Lord Chief Justice Reed tried an action when on circuit in which the jury were locked up, but before giving their verdict had eaten and drank, which they all confessed. This being reported to the judge, ho fined them each heavily and took their verdict. In Hilary term, sixth, Henry VHI, the case came up before the full court of queen's bench on a joint motion to set aside tho verdict on the ground of in? formality of trial, the jury having eaten when they mould have fasted, and next remit the fines under the peculiar circum? stances of the case. The jury averred that they had made up their minds in the case before t)icy ate, and had returned into court, with n verdict, but, finding the lord chief justice had "run out to see a fray," and not knowing when he might como hack they had refreshment. The court confirmed both the verdict and the fines. In "Dyer's Reports" a case is reported of a jury who retired to consider their verdict,- and when they came back the bailiff informed the judge that some of them (which he could not depose) had been feeding while locked up. Both bailiff und jury were sworn, and the pockets of the latter were examined, when it appeared thut they ull had about them "pippins," of which "some of them confessed they had eaten, and the others said they had not." All were severely reprimanded, and those who had eaten were fined twelve shillings each, and those who hud not eaten were fined six shillings each, for that they had them in their pockets.?

Great Feats In Riding Exhibited by Sri day's Young Arapahoe Warriors. In the Indian camp of the Arapahoe Chief Friday. Hero wo saw many curious scenes and learned much of the Indian life. One day Friday said to me he would like to, show off his young men and let me see how well they conld ride. At first I expected some treachery, as the whole herd of ponies were still in the hands of the troops. The old chief, however, was so earnest and apparently so honest about it, I told the captain, who had the herd in charge, he^might^et Friday have flf$y ponies for his yot?g. me? -In aboute an hour they drew up before the tents in war paint and feathers, and were as fine a looking set of young fellows as I had ever seen. Hardly but one . was six feet in ? height and bea?tlrmJy rj&pdrtfoned. They sat their horses like centaurs, and were ease and grace itself in the saddle. At a signal from the' chief ttiey bega*n' their movements with a yell that sent the blood curdling to the heart, and was enough, if heard unawares or In the night time, to moke one's hair stand on end. In a mo* rnent they had "disappeared over a neigh? boring hill to the right, and I thought they bad gone, but, hearing a mighty trampling of horses, I looked to the left and there they came. I can compare it to nothing but tho .wind, and theyjsweptcby . so compact that they looked - like a^ball of horses and men. ' "v^' ; Splitting in two, ohe.'J^lyjji^ptpo the right and another to the. lerffiand-again disappeared. In about two minutes the two bodies charged each otheTrin'fAJlid lines, and I waited almost breathlessly for the shock, but. as the horses' heads al? most touched each- other, the files skill? fully opened tothoright-and'lef t, and the lines passed through the intervals without touching. Wheeling to the right about they passed back in an instant, and again disappeared 'over the hills. It was about fifteen minutes before they came in sight, and Friday informed me they were blow? ing their horses. Presently on they came and wheeled by fours, formed columns, broke by fours, and finally deployed as skirmishers. . It was now we saw the finest . individual horsemanship. Some would approach lying so close to the pony's back nothing but the horse could 'be seen.1 Others stood up and rode as cir? cus men do. Some would hang with one foot and' one hand on the horses and sweep by, their bodies .completely protected by the bodies of the animals. Some leaped upon the ground holding to the mane of the horse, and after running a step or two would swing themselves up on the backs of the horses again as easily as any circus man could do it. The positions they assumed and the feats of horsemanship which they performed were incredible, and I- doubt if anything outside of a circus ring ever equaled it. They would throw objects oh the ground and pick them up again while passing at full speed, the warriors hang? ing to the sides of the horses with one foot and one hand.;, They drew.bows"and shot arrows from underneath the necks and even the bellies of their horses while rid ' ing at a fast gallop.

A Voung man*, who wanted to try his skill'in a BoWery shooting gallery, noticed as-ho brought the weapon,to his^houlder that a small steel chain dangled from the front end of tho stock and disappeared behmd the counter, ?wheijelt was found to be secured to' a substantial beam. . "You have somo tough customers here, I suppose," said the young man to the proprietor. '> "Yes, Vguess so." "Bunches'of them likely to come in at any time and carry off a gun or two." "Not that anybody knows of herea? way." "Why dp you chain the guns there?" ?'Because I'm not fond of ibloodshed. It isn't tho tough that concerns mo; it's the fool. The fools come in here in bunch? es. Each one of the bunch grabs a gun and cocks it. . Then something attracts their attention in the street, and around they turn, gun in hand, and muzzle point: ed fair at the crowd of people constantly passing the door. Some one of the bunch is sure to think the gun isn't loaded, or that it can't be discharged except when pointed at the < target, and so aims it at another of the bunch, saying: 'Look out, I'm going to shoot you.' At least, that's what happened before I chained-the guns, and it was only luck that no one was killed. If the guns could only be mado to shoot backward under such circum? stances I wouldn't chain them, but they can't bo made to do so. With tho chain on, the fool can shoot at the target only; he can't even send tho bullet through the ceiling into tho feet of the lodgers over? head."?-New York Sun. i ... ....?

It! was' early morning, clear and calm after a night of storm, which had brought two wrecks on shore within sight, and the shock and roar of the waves were still so tremendous that we were fairly driven from our ac? customed walk along the Marina, and turning inland by a road which tunneled its way upward, gained the level of the rich farming land above the town. As we emerged into the sunshine a bird rose singing from an adjacent field. "Can that feeble, monotonous chirper bo a skylark:'" thought we as he rose higher, still con? tinuing to .sing. His notions answered tho doubt; for. as if he had been on exhi? bition, he still rose with successive flut? tering impulses in a widening spiral, till he was quite lost to sight in the cloudless sky, while his voice proved itself of more penetrating quality than had at first ap? peared, for it continued to "reach us, faintly, It is true, but with perfect dis? tinctness.?Theodore U.

Excess Should Bo Avoided With Kvcry Kind of Food?What Not to Drink DresH?JU'st nnd Kccrcat Ion ? Almut Sea Birthing. In extremely hot weather it is very im? portant what (and how much) people eat. Food that can be easily digested should he eaten, such as perfectly ripe fruit, vege? tables and cereals. Very little meat should be taken. Animal food is heating and should bo indulged in very moderately. Indeed, excess should be avoided with every kind of food. It is very hurtful to throw into the stomach, while eating, a quantity of extremely cold fluid, as it lowers the temperature and hinders diges? tion The stomach is nta certain tem? perature while performing its functions, and if that temperature is lowered by tho introduction of the cold fluid, tho process of digestion is arrested and the food goes undigested into the intestinal canal and causes great distress. Cramps, cholera, summer complaint, are all induced by such carelessness. In cities, where it is next to impossible to obtain fresh fruit and vegetables, it is better for those not in robust health to abstain from eating these, and in warm weather to live largely on cereals and milk. I do not believe in the use of alcohol to any great extent. The first effect is ap? parently cooling, but then comes a reac? tion, and one becomes warmer and thirst? ier than ever. Those who indulge freely in alcoholic drinks in- extremely hot weather are tempting Providence, and ore likely to be among the victims of sun? stroke. Drinking largely of ice cold water is bad; it is better to rinse the mouth with cool water frequently and avoid swallow? ing so much. Of course every one knows that keeping in the shade, and in a cool draught of air, is conducive to comfort in warm weather, but every one cannot do this. Where there are hundreds who can afford to go away to the country or the seaside and rest, there are thousands who have to stay in the hot city, pursuing their work just as usual with, perhaps, a couple of weeks' vacation. These are tho ones who should be careful how they live. The best way to dress is to wear thin woolen material next to the skin, as little outside clothing as possible and that of a light color. Dark colors draw the heat and light ones repel it. It is prudent to carry an umbrella or some protection for the head, at least during the middle of tho day. Persons of a full habit are generally more easily affected by tho heat than thin people, but this is not an invariable rule. The brainworker who Is thin would bo more likely to suffer from intense warm weather than the fat laborer, for the rea? son that tho active brain is much more sensitive than the dull one. Of course the professional man, leading a more or less sedentary life, is not apt to become so overheated by exertion as one who works with his hands. Nevertheless, when it comes to exposure to tho direct rays of the sun, the stolid brain has the best of it. The artificial life peoplo lead at most of pur watering places is not productive of as much benefit as one would think should be derived from a summer of rest and en? joyment. There are the same pleasures, the same dissipation that they have had in the city; only the scene is changed. They keep late hours and undergo fatigues which, if encountered in any useful occu? pation, would be pronounced insupport? able. Life is thus sapped instead of strengthened. This is what most of the fashionable resorts do for us. What you want for a real, wholesome recruiting of strength lost is a quiet summer in a quiet place, lt'is not necessary to be buried on a farm',' and yet nothing can be sweeter or purer than farm sights, sounds and smells', where you can have your chosen spot?a refuge when you are tired of being with people and long to commune with nature and to be still. If it is impossible to go away and stay for a ' few weeks tho short daily trips to points near at hand nro better than noth? ing. That is all that can be said for them. The fatigue consequent upon get? ting to any given point nnd coming home again largely detracts from any good which may be obtained. " This is especially so in the case of children. Sea bathing is very good for the major? ity of people. There aro some, however, who should never indulge.in it. If the skin turns a purplish color and the teeth chat? ter, and the feeling upon leaving the water is. one of debility rather than exhilara? tion, it shows that the bather is not bene? fited.?Dr. Willard Parker in Tho Epoch. Catching Bats at midnight. A reporter, browsing about between midnight and 1 o'clock the other morning, saw a man standing near one of the elec? tric light posts, on Washington street wav? ing a long horsewhip back and forth high above his head. He had a fishhook on trie^ end of the whip, to which was attached a moth miller, and he explained that with this bait he captured the bats that were .foraging among the insects around tho electric light. Ho said ho got half a dol? lar apiece for them, and that he had al? ready caught seven that night. He sold them to the taxidermists, and said that he could get more for them in Boston. He spoke of hiring a man to help him, as he .could catch enough then to pay him for. shipping them to Boston. He caught two while the reporter remained to watch the operation, and he-picked them off the hook and put them in a bag that ho carried Blung . across his shoulder.?Providence Journal.

People who are nice to a scriptural point about the care of their bodies, wonder sometimes despairingly how it is that their finger nails get so dirty. They may not have been out of doors or engaged in any manual occupation, and yet a few hours after a thorough cleansing of their nails they have a black streak under tho points and the hand brush must bo used again. Theiy will bo surprised to learn that their hair is the cause of this offen? sive collection of dirt. There are few persons who do not often put their fingers tO;their;. hair .to replace a stray lock, if a woman.^orif aTnan to throw it back from his forehead or run his fingers through it. Each time that the hand touches the hair some of the oil adheres to the fingers and tho nails, and this attracts and holds the dirt and dust whose particles float in tho purest atmosphere. Anybody can prove this statement by watching the finger i]nils for u day after tho hair has been shnmpooed nnd uoting how much longer they remain clean than they will two days after the barber has rubbed all of tho oil out of the scalp.?Manicure in Globe Democrat.

' The Cleveland (Ohio) Prcssy of February 23d, 1883, pub lislied an account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med? ical men throughout the whole country, Dr. Tiiayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs. King had been suffering for main- years from seme disease of the stom? ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de? rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite; followed by a peculiar indescribable dis? tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree? able taste. This sensation -was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and. sticky? a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and lan? guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to re? tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem? edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patient's life an operation was justifi? able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1?83, the opera? tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Anns, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board. The operation consist-' ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an examin? ation of the organs was made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The pa? tient did not have a cancer. AVhen too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that Iiis wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that; ought never to have been performed. If this womau had taken the ] roper remedy for Dyspepsia t.nd Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been liv? ing: to-dnv.
