"Oh, it's all very well to laugh," she went on; " but just wait till you try it yourself. All last year was given up, vou know, to marrying Helen.

As fol* the possible "rough," there Is not much need for you to trouble yourself any about him. If you refrain from adopting the asinine practice of carrying a revolver under peaceable conditions of tratelihg, it is with the extreme*! rarity that you will find a revolver drawn upon you. It is, as a rnle, those who neodlessly talk about shooting Who run the greatest risk of getting shot. It is not by any means certain that you will get into a quarrel by refusing to drink with the first possible rough who accosts you, whereas I have been told tovqr aha over again tli^t to accopt a drink from a Utal stranger Is a sine qua non in the West. It is a case of "inside or out," I was assured. Either you must swallow the dram or 1 un the risk of ulterior consequences in the way ol steel or lead.* Frequent experience, however, leads me to the conclusion that if you civilly tell your unknown friend that you i ave "sworn off," or that "you are not equal to anything else be fore supper." he will take your refhsal in thoroughly good part. Of oourse there are exceptions to the rule, but of ono thing bo oertain, that if by ill-luck you do rail across a fouurh American who if wholly or partially tight, and proportionately fractious or prone to exhibit tendencies of an ugly or violent nature, the vast minority of your fellow travelers will be peaceable and l?w abiding persohs, Whose interest lie in the direction of the rough being "run out" or "chucked off" at the earliest nossible opportunity. Be not afraid, then, to mingle with the many seated in the smoker. Keep Yourself to yourself as reasonable discrimination shall dic tate, but speak when you are spoken to shortly and courteously, and you will get along Very comfortably. You may or may not be somewhat of a physiognomist, thus you must use your own discretion in the application of Juvenal's warning against trusting to facial appearance, but I would entreat you not to judge traveling A merioans in the West from the olothes they wear aboard the oars. For example, in tho "smoker** between Chicago and the important manufacturing city of Oedar Rapids I was addressed as " partner " mid offered a plug of " terbacker " by a gaunt youth, seemingly of some nine teen summers, with lank, hay-colored it air, whose coarse, homespun coat and vest, red flannel undershirt?overshirt lie had none?misshapen felt hat, and pantaloons tuoked into boots reaohing kaee-hlgh and quite innocent of blaok . iog ostensibly bespoke him to bo a rough of the roughs* He was nothing whatever of the fond. He was a grad uate of the university Of his State, had taken high honors In the department of around" In ;^ae fislnl inaught that he oould get a job, told me, and from his subsequent con versation I was led to infer that he was ready to inspect and report upon any new metalliferous deposits Which he might enoounter, to form a new mining company, to speculate in mining stock* or to become the conduotor of a freight train. In fact he was ready for any thing in the conduct of which pluok, energy and practical knowledge ooul.l be made availably. He had an elder brother, he casually mentioned, who was doing very well as a portrait painter somewhere in Nebraska. .Ills parents had in the outset strongly ob jected to this young man's following ihe arts and had placed him in the office of a lawyer?wishing, as his brother tersely put It?" to bring him up to something respeotable," but the mpprentice of the law oould not abldo the profession ohalked out for him; *o the old folks at -home, making the t>cst of a bad bargain, mortgaged some land and with the proceeds sent the artistic young hopeful to study for two or three years In Franoe and Italy. Then he had gone West, and was at present jotting as mueh as $75 for a half-length in oil. " It wasn't a very brother would be able to get up to 'Frisco and start in tho photograph lino, and so mako his pile." I hope he may make It with all mv heart. Don't Pity. / [Kokomo (Ind.) Tribune.] Don't pity men and women?they don't like it. Show pity to some strong man in blue overalls, that you used to know in tho nobbiest of business suits, and 8co how quickly ho will freoze over; but show sympathy and friendliness to the man himself, without one glance at his clothing, or employment, and his great soul looks out of his oyes and ro* turns your greeting. Ho isn't without hope?there are many bright things in life for him. Don't pity a woman who docs bet own work, nnd often looks tired ?nd discouraged. Don't pity the farm er's wife, rior her equally hard-working slsterjn tho village or city. They cer tainly have their dark hours?everybody has?but there is always something for which we work and liopo. Always something for which, in our worst trials, wo whisper ','rmtrgam." Don't pity the woman who enjoys lace-making and decks herself and children with tho labor of her hands. Let her bo oomfortablo in her own way. We don't know what happy fenoies sho stitches into her work. If ner ruling passion is to Wear purple and fine linen and home-made lace every day, don't feel sorry that her mind has no greater compass. Those things are pretty, and if she repoats " rtturanm" over ner Btitching, thnt is the gospel and bow?f promise for her. Don t pity the woman who goes without collar and cufft; though she might look much better with them, she would l>o tho same per son; and then so many tremendously mean animals of tho apo kind, l>oth mala and fomalo, wear such nico collars and end's.

It Is no more true that "every heart knoweth its own bitter ne<'!fflan th***,. - . A Bravo English Woman. A Constantinople letter to the Phila delphia Telegraph ?ays: The quiet Greek village of Kadekom, on the Aslatloshore of the sea of Marmora, souie foar miles from here, was tho scene the other night of wild excitement and alarm. At dusk, while tho family of Mr. B., a re spectable English resident, wero about sitting down to a comfortnblo supper, a knock, timidly repeated after an instant, was heard at the door. The wiu^ was howling around the anrks of tho house, and as Mr. H. oper^d tho door, a gust of sleet ami rain took hirn in the face and almost prevented him from perceiving his nocturnal visitor. It was a wretched woman, bent nearly double with age and clothed scantily with filthy rags, who, in quivering accents, hogged food and shelter f->r tho night. After somo hesitation tho spirit of the good Samaritan prevailed over the natu ral suspicions aroUsea .by such a visit. The hag's story was a plausible one. Having, owing to her infirmities, missed ?.he last steamer back to town, and being loft with only hor return ticket in her pocket, sho was exposed to pass that bitter night out in tho open air unless -omo charitable person lent his roof to -heltor her. Already she had been turned away from several dwellings when sho knocked despairingly at Mr. B.'sdoor. Thus ran her tale. Resolved, when onco " in for it/' as Mr. B. said, "to do the thing up brown," hot food and drink was given to the wanderer, who, oomplaining soon after ? f great fatlguo, wa? led into an emptv i'.>om on tho third floor, where a sort of ^hako-down was provided her. The f.tmily stayed together somo time after in tho parlor, chatting over tho fire :thout tho inoident, then separated for '.he night. A mysterious anxiety, howevor, hung over Mrs. B., kept hor awako and cul minated in a determination to visit tho guest room and see how the gueBt was fai ing. Arriving at the door, which, as a precaution, had been locked, noise lessly in her bare foet, a narrow ray of light stream ing from the keyholo aroused hor suspicion, and an unwonted noise of steps. Peeping in, tho first object that wet hergazo was a bundlo of rags, sole rolio of tho pitiful hag that they had resoued from the elements, while in her plnco stood a tall, hra wny Circassian in full dress, his leather belt st ick full of pistols, while ho tried on his thumb the edge of a *' cauia " or long, curved dag Ker. His faco was turned toward Mrs. B., and sho saw in his set mouth and rascally faco bucIi murderous purposo that sho with difficulty restrained a scream oi fright. However, she crept down the stairs, trembling with oxoltc ment, aroused hor slumbering lord, and told what she had fceen. A short con sultation followed, in which tho strange deolslon was arrived at that the husband should run at once to the nearest corpB de garde for policemen, while the wile, armed with her husband's revolver, would stand behind and bear tho at tack. A fow minutes after B. had sllp Sed on bis olothes, and closed the street oor, that sound found its echo upstairs In the crash of the guest room door, which yielded to th0 bMterlng-ram i 1 - ? -? _ ^# .Ala a* ^ ^ . gowii thrown over her, admirably pool, tier rlght hand grasping a revolver. The stepsoamenearer, andtherufllan, after trying the door or the parlor in which tin lady was standing, burst It open, and T:-hed in. His headlong course was *to pped by four shots I n rapid succession. i wo of which took eft'oot In his arm and ii'.i k, and rolled him on tho ground al most at Mrs. B.'s feet. The nouso se/ iu.t then appeared, aroused by the tii\?ig, and Mrs. B., for vhom tho air was just then full of Circassian murder ers, greeted him with a fiesh wound In the Teg. Luckily for tho rest of tho household, who bogan pouring in, tho Inevltablo revulsion of fooling came, and tho courageous woman fainted/ Just about then the husband, with slk zap tlehs or pollcomen, arrived, as usual, too lat? to bo of muoh use Eighty Tears of the Uulllotlne In France. The number of criminals brought to the soafTold in Paris has nover been any thing like largo, says the London Globe, and it has manifested In late years, not withstanding the extraordingary pre valence of atrocious murders, a tendency to decrease still further. The statistics show that in soventy-nlno years thero have been only 263 oxecut/ >ns, so that a Parisian who had constantly assisted at each such scene slnoe the first of January, 1801. would on aa average have seen tho guillotine in operation rather more than three times In every year. Tho begin ning of the oentury was, however, con siderably more fertile in oapital punish ments than the latter part, ana ltap poars that In the first fifteen years thero were seventy-one executions, giving an average of nearly five each year. Tho least sanguinary period was the twenty years from 1860 to 1880, whon the yearly return was 9 00, and the next In order is the period from 1830 to 1800, when It amounted to 9.7ft. A curious feature in this dismal record Is the extrome rarity of cases In which more than ono offender has been put to death at the samo time and for the same crime. Such execu tions have occurred, in foot, at Paris only four times within the century. Tho first occasloii was In 1804, whon the famous Chouan conspirator, Georges | Cadoudal, who was absurdly supposed i to have been bribed by William Pitt, was guillotined with eleven companions in the place do Grove. A year later three ooiners of false money were exe cuted together, and then there was no doublo execution until the year 1899, when four mon known generally In the annals of crime as th? T' Bergants de la Rochelle" ascended the scaffold to gether. The la?t spectacle of the kind was afforded In 1830. when Piesohl. the Invontor of the "internal machine," attempted the assassination of Louis Philippe, and, having killed eleven per sons In his abortive endeavor, waa put to death by decapitation with his two accomplices, Pepin and Morey. The executions of women have deoreased also In a notable manner. Six female murderesses were guillotined under the first empire, three during the restora tion, and only one In the period of forty five years that have just elapsed. A Philadelphia firm iome years since inadvertently failed to return tho value of certain paper boxes In whtoh their imported goods wore cnolosed. The value of tlio whole Involoe wm $03, 3tW CO, on which duties were paid to tlu amount of $15,065.67. Tlic duty on the boxes would have been $390.09. A gov ernment detective alleged that under the act of 1807 the whole Invoice of goods could be forfeited, but he magnani mously offered to "settle." The lm p< rter* went Into court, and the oase, after eight years, wan finished tho other day, the Jury bringing In a special ver dict entirely exonerating the Importer* from any fraudulent Intent and limiting the damages to the amount of duty on tho bo?* and In Intercut thereon.
