Riving - ton came from the wild and hopping west to bathe in the watery culture and effete civilization that rich apartments in Madison Avenue haveto offer. Mr. I:ivington had money, was young and rather good-looking, and this combina- cion of qualities, coupled with letters of introduction, soon gained him the en- tree tc some of the best houses in New York, . and gave him a card to • the Junior. Patriarchs' balls. Everything went on swimmingly for thefirst few months, and Mr. Rivington learned to drop his is and acquired the art of dis- tinguishing between Chablis and San•, terne in a way that made even that side -whiskered waiter at Delmonico's respect his jndgment. He even suc- ceeded in doing the single eye -glass act with a graceful ail\ of abandon that spoke well for his application before the mirror and for his valet's valuable in- struction. Perhaps if it hacl not been forthe bright eyes of swell Miss Van Boskirk he would not have devoted so much time - and attention to the acquisition of these polite arts which alone enabled him to hold a place a her side. With the hard common sense born of contact with the rough ways of the bounding west, he knew that to gain her hand he would have to be pronounced eligible not only in her own eyes hut in the sharp eyes of her mother and aunt, He knew that one stud, more or less, in his shirtfront, the unfashionable combination of cut- affray coat and sills; hat, or even the awk- ward balancing of the obnoxious eye- glass might drive him from her for all time. And he did not mean to be- so driven. I -n a month after by assiduous atten- tion on his part, an engagement was entered into with_ his sweetheart. He had capturedthe prize and the town was not big enough to hold his happi- ness. For three weeks he lived in heaven, and one day, when the chape- rone was absent, he actually went as far as to kiss his love. It was a rash, un- conventional act, but lie was from the west and so the little solecism was over- looked. He determined to attempt a repetition at Christmas, but Christmas found the doors of the Van Boskirk mansion closed against him and the en- gagement wasa thing of the past. He not understand the change, but it all came about through his present to her. With the common sense horn of west- ern life he thought the most appropriate thing would be something that would go towaids filling their home when he -and she went to housekeeping. He cast about for something sufficiently elabor- ate, and finally decided upon a silver dinner service. But with a deplorable lack of knowledge of the habits of the circle in which she moved, he sent, among other things, a dozen solid silver napkin rings. That euettled his fate. Anythingelse might have been over- looked, lent napkin rings—never. The family held a solemn council on the napkin rings. Did he mean a de - feet in cold water a quarter of an inch deep jest before going to bed two or three minutes and rub them hard with rough towels and your naked hands ; sixth, now madam, go out freely in, all weathers, and, believe me, not only will your feet enjoy a good circulation, but as the consequence of the good- circula- tion in the lower extremities your head will be relieved of all its fullness and your heart of all its palpitation. Your complexion will be eatly improved and your health made better in every respect. A Lecturer's Remuneration. In one of the first towns in which I spoke outside of Worcester I labored for three evenings and was told by the com- mittee at the conclusion of. my . last ad- dress that they had no funds in the treasury and did not like to take up a collection, but that if I would come again and give three more lectures I would be liberally paid. I consented and shortly afterward began my other course of three lectures. At the termina- tion of the second one a gentleman arose and said that as Mr. Gough had not been paid on the occasion of his previous visit to that town he suggested that a" collec- tion be taken up for the purpose of re-' jnunerating hire. " I object to collections," said another gentleman ; "but if we must have one let it be to -morrow night, when we wilfl'' all come prepared." The third evening was very rainy and a collection amounting to $1.80 was taken up. A gentleman near the table remarked when the money was counted: " The amount is very small. I do not mind making it up to two dollars out of my own pocket, for the laborer is worthy of his hire," and he very emphatically laid down two silver dimes. I refused to take $2 for six days' work, during which my personal expenses had been $5, and departed. The next day I re- ceived from three liquor -sellers • a $5 bill enclosed in a letter, in which they said they thought I had worked hard enough to be better paid.—J. B. Gough. Glass Cloth at Twenty Dollars ''a Yard. (Pittsburg Chronicle -Telegraph.) - `Several years ago quite a furore was created by the announcement that a south side glass manufacturer . had dis- covered a method of spinning glass so fine and so pliable that it could be woven into dresses, outside wraps and gar- ments of all kinds. The statement was received with incredulity, and a leading foreign scientific journal, which publish- ed the statement of the discovery, felt called upon to apologize to its readers for having endeavored to dupe them. Several months later the manufacturers of the article caused the journal to ac- knowledge the receipt of a piece of the wonderful cloth. - The eagerness . to see the material was unbounded for months and letters by the hundreds, from every clime, were received, inquiring the cost of the novelty. The reply, $20 ,leer yard, never brought back any answei and put an effectual quietus on the anxious cor- respondent. Fanny Davenport visited the factory in person and viewed the material. Emma Abbott placed a shawl made out of the cloth on her shoulders at the com- pany's office, and talked of purchasing it when she presented her new opera, but the opera has never yet been presented, or else she has changed her mind. P. T. Barnum brought the late Toni Thumb and his wife to the works and inquired the cost of preparing them with an out- fit of glass. The veteran showman, how- ever, was not disposed to effect a pur- ehase. For months persons visited the factory by the hundreds. A sample of the glass cloth was sent to a popular dry - goods store in. N ew York for inspection, but was returned with the statement that the rush of people to see the cloth re- tarded business. Genius had triumphed, but only partially. It was found im- possible to manufacture the article for less than $20 per yard, and soon the furore overit subsided. Probably in the dim future, if glass materials become cheaper, glass cloth will form the basis of many handsome costumes. • Traveling In. 1800. stage=coach was little better than a uge covered box mounted on springs It had neither glass windows, nor do r, nor steps, nor closed sides. The roof was upheld by eight posts which rose from the body of the vehicle, and the body was commonly breast -high. From the top were hung curtains of leather, to be drawn up when the day was fine, and let down and buttoned when rainy and cold. Within were four seats. Without was the baggage. Four- teen pounds of luggage were allowed to be carried free'by each passenger. Put if his portmanteau or his brass -nail - liberate insult, or was it only that he studded hair trunk weighed more, he did not know•tha:t people in their station. in life never used napkin rings' They never used a napkin more than once,. and so had no use for rings; Did the young man from the west mean to cast reflections on their good breeding ? Or was he only a barbarian, ignorant of the well-known fact that napkin rings have rust hem good form for years ? Either horn of the dilemma was - inexcusable. Their daughter could not be given to such a man. It was fortunate that they had discovered hien in time. Why, some day he might actually be caught making love to his wife or doing some equally horrible thing: Napkin rings, indeed ! So the vulgar present was returned without a word of explana- tion, and George W. Rivington left with the silver for Chicago.—New York World. Improving the Complexion by paid for it at the same rate -per mile- as he paid for himself. - Under• no circum- stances, however could he be permitted -to take with him on the journey more than one hundred and fifty pounds. When the baggage had all been weighed and strapped on the coach, when- -the horses had been attached and the way- bill made out,_ the eleven passengers were summoned, and, clambering- to their seats through the front of the stage, sat down with their faces toward the driver's seat. On routes where no competition existed progress was slow, and the passengers were subje-eted to all manner of extortion and abuse. 'Brut-. ality, negligence, and filching,' says one, ' are as naturally expected by people ac- customed to traveling in America as a mouth, a nose, and two eyes are looked for in a man's fate.'

Another came from New York by stage and by water. He was almost.shipwrecked in the bay, lost some of Ms baggage at Amboy, was nearly left by the -coach, and passed twenty hours goini sixteen miles on the Delaware. The captain was drunk. The boat three times collided with vessels co=ning up the river. A gentleman set out in February to make the trip from Philadelphia to Baltimore. Just beyond Havre de Grace the axle broke. A cart was hired and the passengers driven to the next stage inn. There a new coach was obtained, which, in- the evening, overset in a wood. Toward . daylight the whole party, in the midst of a shower of.ra•in and snow, found shelter and breakfast at a miserable house three miles from Baltimore. But the host would not suffer one of them to dry his clothes bythe kitchen stove. When an .editor in the town was asked to publish an account of their trip he refused. The owner of the coach -line might, he said, hinder the circulation of his paper. To add to the vexation of such delays, the Apostolic Assembly of the State of Delaware' had forbidden sta e -coaches to cress their `hand's breadth of terri- tory' on the Sabbath. The worst bit of road in the country seems to have been between Elkton, in .Maryland, and the Susquehanna Ferry. There the ruts ere so deep that, as the wheels were about to enter one, the driver would call upon the passengers to lean out of the opposite side of the coach, to prevent the vehicle being .overturned, 'Now, gentlemen,' he would say ' to the right.' ' Now, gentlemen, to the left.' "Yet another traveler had quitted Philadelphia for New York. All went smoothly till the coach drew near to the town of Brunswick. There one of a rival line was overtaken, and a race began. At Elizabethtown a young wo- man, well mounted, rode up behind the coach and attempted to pass. In an in- stant half the men on the stage began to revile her most shamefully, raised a great shout, frightened her horse, and all but unseated her. One, indeed, ventured to expostulate. But he was quickly silenced by the question, ' What ! suffer . anybody to take the road of us ?' At New York three of the passengers found lodgings in a single` room at the inn. The customs was a general one, and, of all customs, was the most offensive to foreigners. No such thing, it was said, was ever seen in the British Isles. There every decent person not only had a bed, but even a yoom to himself, and, if he were so minded, might lock his door. In America, however, the traveler sat down at the table of his landlord, slept in ,the first bed hefound empty, or, if all were taken, lay down on one beside its occu- pant without so much as asking leave, or caring,who the sleeper might be. If he demanded clean sheets, he was look- ed upon as an aristocrat, and charged well for the trout* he. gave ; for the bedclothes were changed at stated times, and not to suit the whims of travelers."—McMaster. Aclvi e to Young Women. A lady of intelligence and observation has remarked : . " I wish I could .impress upon the minds of the girls that the chief end of women is not to marry young." If girls could only be brought to believe that their chances for a happy marriage were better after25than before, there would be much less misery in the world than there .now is. To be sure, they might not have so many opportunities to marry as before, but as they do not need to marry but one at a time, it is necessarythat that one should be satis- factory. As a girl grows older, if she thinks at all, she certainly becomes more capable of judging what would make her happy than when younger. How:many girls of 20 would think of marrying the man they would gladly have married at 16? At 30, a woman who is somewhat in- dependent, and "not anxious,over-anxious, to marry, is much harder to please and more careful in her choice than one at 20. There is good reason for this., Her mind has improved with her years, and she now looks beyond mere appearances in judging men. She is apt to ask if this man who is so very polite in company is really kind-hearted. Do his polite actions spring from a happy, genial nature, or is his attractive demeanor put on for the occasion and laid off at hone as he laYS off his coat ? A very young girl takes it for granted that men are always as she sees them in society—polite, friendly, and on their good behavior. If she -marries early the man who happens to please her fancy, she learns t) her- sorrow that in nine cases out of ten, a man in society and a man:at home are widely different beings. Five. years, at that period of/ life, pro- duce a great change in opinions and feelings. We. frequently come to detest at, 25 what we admired at 16. We advance from the taffy -cantly and peanut age to the era of hum -drops and marron glaces and even in later years lose our yearn- ings.—Scottish-American earn- ings.—Scottish-American Journal. • -• Military Drunkenness. After showing, for many years in suc- cession, a tendency to decrease, military drunkenness has latterly taken some- thing of a change for the worse. In 1872, the earliest year of which full de- tails are given in the general annual, re- turn, the total number of men fined was 26,111, the number of fines inflicted was 51,501, and the percentage of fines per 1,000 men 281. From that time until 1880 a steady and' almost•continuons de• crease went on, the percentage falling to 225. In the following year, •however, there was a rise to -243, and this figure has been maintained ever since. It ap- pears- that the fining system does not exercise couch deterrent effect on the "habitual drunkard" class --that is, those who are drunk four times or -.-more within tweIye calender months: In 1S84-, the last yer" dealt with in the table, 1,418 men were fined four times, 779 five times, 370 six times, 180 seven times, 57 eight times, and 29 nine times. No doubt, too; most of these towers often escape undetected, so that the figures do not' give & complete picture of the hard drinking still unfortunately so prevalent in the army. •It seems open to question whether an experiment should not be tried with soiree other form of punish- ment than fines, in cases where the lat- ter method has•.proved ineffectual as a deterrent. The 1" habitual drunkard " is not only a bad character in himself, but his pernicious example exercises a most injurious effect among the younger soldiers.—London Globe. _ IMPORTANT NOTICES.

Laurence's Axis Cut The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is froni Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is herder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the gnsin found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolnese, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
