REVIEWING PARNELL SIDE -LIGHTS ON THE CAREER OF THIS REMARKABLE MAN. How He Created the Irish Party -His Peculiar Characteristics and Traits of Charaotez' -Sheteh of the Most 11Zya- terlous Figure In English Public Life. It is but a few weeks since a well-known member of the Conservative party spoke publicly of Mr. Parnell as the most remark- able man he had ever met in the House of Commons; and remarkable, indeed, he is, from whatever side we may choose to view him. Of bis strength of charactor and will it is hardly necessary to speak here. The unsurpas-ed teuacity with which be has followed the great purpose of his life says more'nn this point than any words can. He found the Irish parry a scattered - and dh- organized band, without charact •r, with- out principles, without cohesion, and be has inade them one of the nI 'st powerful political parties in Europe, placing in their hands the fate of ministers and en- abling them to dictate alike to Coussrvative and Liberal the policy of the empire. And what is perhaps more remarkable than any- thing else is the fact that be has made the party thus powerful as a whole, whilst ab- solutely dotninating it by the force of his own superior intellect and will. 'ro have created such a party, and to have given it the position which it now holds in Parlia- ment and before the country, must be count- ed among the most remarkable achieve• ments of modern statentanship. Yet re- markable as this achievement is, it sinks into insignificance when compared with his conquest over Ireland. Without eloquence, an alien iu religion, all but au alien in race, absolu tely devoid of the gift of humor which we associate with the Irish name, and en- dowed with a personality, the reserve and colduess of which have made it almrst re- pellent, he has yet FASCINATED THE IRISH PEOPLE as no other man of modern time; has done, has climbed as high as O'Connell, and has accomplished more than O'Couuell ever did. It is not, however, of his remarkable strength of character and will that people think most of to -day, but of those singular points about hint in which he resembles no other modern statesman. We have spoken of his reserve. What other popular leader has ever approached hits in this qualityP Ali the world knows that the relations be tween himself and his followers have been so distant that it is difficult to unrleratauJ how any feelings of personal cordiality can have entered int there. Everybody has heard THE STORY OF THE FREEZING REBUKE ho administered to one of the most im- portent of their number, when, on the oc casion of the great Parnellite .victory in 1855 which resulted in the overthrow of .IILr. Gladstone's Government, the unfortunate man forgot himself so far as to address Mr. Parnell in familiar terms. IIe was the Irish chief, and the name by which his colleagues in the House addressed him was "Chief," -honoring him thus as only dukes are honored in England. The mystery in which he habitually wrapped himself was another of the curious features of his character. His disappearances front the House and from the keu of his colleagues have long been notor- ious; and even if we make full allowance for the painful ligh t which has been thrown upon his habits in these Last days, nisch of the mystery of these disappearance; still remains. Perhaps at the bottom of the cooluess with which he remained away from Parliament in times of hot debate, and of the extraordinary comp 'sure which he displayed when he entered the House at the critical moment of some great struggle be. tween the contending parties, was a real and unaffected indifference. To the in- terests of Ireland he never indeed SHOWED HIMSELF INDIFFERENT, but to the accideuts of the hour, teen when those accidents most closely affected himself and the political combination of which he wets the keystone, he showed an extraordin- ary insensibility. There are. two other features of his character which histor- ians will note, and oue of which they will note with admiration. One is his curious magnanimity. He bus at times hit hard in the political struggles in which he has been engaged, but he has apparently never borne malice. Who has beard from hits, since the exposures of the miserable plot which was launched against him through the columns of the Times, a single word of that invective which, from the lips of ordin- ary men, would have been regarded not only as natural and justifiable, but as in- evitable? In the House of Commons, alike in bis dealings with Tories and with Liberals, he had apparently been able to put absolute- ly on one side those feelings of resentment against men who had assailed hint bitterly and pursued bins during years with relent- less hostility, which in any ordinary hum in being would have been looked upon as so entirely natural. Whatever else may b said of Mr. Parnell, now that he has given the world the measure of his moral weak- ness, no fair-minded man will deny ti hits the possession, in an eau 1st unexampled de- gree, of that tality of inegia amity which wejustly rats se high. Tile Omar c;rtrac- teristic which must be remember •d nolo is his supreme indifference, in all that II, had said and done in his peered') 1 fe, to E lis!1 opinion. Whether thi; w ill ba reckoae.1 to him in the future, when his name takes its place on the page of history, ay a virtue or a defeat, it is impo.siole for the men of to- day to say.

"Very Bell, Mr. Ned Gleason, tbeu 1 will never marry you; good bye," and the proud littlu beea1y clew out of the room and up stair,, to her pretty pall; and white curtained room to cry the lignt out of the sweet brown eyes. And Ned, with a white set face, and a hardened look in the blue dark grey eyes, touk his towering fora from the brown stone front with never a look at the window whore a tear -stained face was. watching his firm tread down the pavement, every step taking him farther away front her, and she knew he v ould never come back unless she sent for him. Time sped along and six months had passed since handsome Ned Gleason had stood in the music room of the Rathburu mansion and pleaded his suit with the da -k- eyed beauty. Never once had he crossed her path; not a word had she heard of his name in her loving, motherly letters. Poor little Reba, time and again she whis- pered to herself she diti not care, but the pretty face was losing its bright flush, and the eyes grew wider and browner. One morning she awakened to find herself an orphan, with fortune and friends flown, and but one place in the wide world to go -- out to Aunt Beckey's on the farm. "Auntie, everything seems busy and happy but your miserable little girl. Teach me to work, and perhaps in time I tray forget." "No, Reba, you will never forget oue thing -that you have trilled with a true Loving heart. We all have our life lessons; some are harder to learn than others, and I am at•aid, my dear, you are tnakiug yours very hard. "Well, Aunt Beckey, you must not blame me alone. Ned might have yielded to nte. I ought to have some rights. I only asked hint to give up the farm; he has a profession, you know, and is aa educated man, and it seems so like wasting his talent to spend his life on a farm; and yet it is not as bad as I thought. I am beginning to love the little chicks, and am not half as afraid of the cows as 1 used to be." Aunt Hockey smiled ever so softly to her- self to hear her pretty niece ramble on. Pre- sently she wiped a half -falling tear from her dark eyes that looked so much like Reba's as sbe said: "Have you never wondered, dear, why I live hero alone, with no Due but the help, and why 1 never married?" "Yes, Auntie, 1 have; you must have been very beautiful when you were youug. I have heard papa speak of you as a belle, but he would never say auythine of your past life. Aunt Beckey smoothed the folds of her spotless whito apron, and with a far -away look in her shining eyes, said: "Yes, Reba, I was once as bright and beautiful as ou are to -day, i - and I Y passion- ately to ately loved a noble young man; but, like Ned, he was a farmer, and my friends came between us and I would not mary him. He left me and crossed the ocean, but I carne to myself before loot and sant fur him to come back to me. I could not live without him. He sailed for Thome, but sickened and died ere he reached here, and they brought hint to mo in hiscvlUn; he left me this farm, and ever since I have lived on here day by day waitng for him to conte and lead me hoine." After that day Reba daily visited the dairy, the kitchen, the barn, stamping her own golden butter, making snowy bread and biecuits, hunting the eggs, and even milk ing the meek -eyed Daisy with her own white hands: deeper roses bloomed on the rounded cheeks, and a clearer light burned in the shadowy eyes. if she was not happy, she was contented, and Aunt Hockey looked on and smiled nppeevingIy.

TALMAGE'S FIRST CiGAR. iiotir 18 Tasted and How no Felt After It. The time had conte in our boyhood which we thought demanded of us a capacity to smoke. The old people of the household could able neither the sight 13,44 the smell of the Virginia weed. When minister, cause there, not by positive iujunotion but i(' u sort of instinct as to what would he ealest, they whiffed their pips on the back step. 1f the house could not stand sauctifled smoke, you may know how little chance Ib -ire was f adolescent cigar -putting. By some rare good fortune which put in I our hands three gents, we found access to a tobacco store. As the lid of the long, narrow, lragruut box upeued, and for the first time we e owned a cigar, our feelings of elation, manll- o ness, superiority and anticipation eau scarce- ly be imagined, save by those who have had the same sensation. Our first ride on horse- back, though we fell orf before we got to the bare, and our first pair of now boote (reel squeakersl, we bad thought could never be surpassed In interest; but when we put the cigar to our lips and stuck the limiter match to the end of the weed, and eorumene,.d to pull with an energy that brought every facial muscae to its utmost tension, our satisfaction with this world was so great our ternptation was never to waut to leave it. The cigar did not burn well; it re- quired an amount o; suction that tasked our determination to the utmost. You see our worldly means had limited us to it quality that cost only tbree cents. But we had been taught that nothing great was accomplished with- out effort, and so we pufred away. Indeed, we bad heard our older brothers in their Latin lessons say, ommavineet labor; which translated ineaus, if you want to make any- thing go, you must scratch for it. With these sentiments, we passed down the village street and out toward our coma... - try home. Our bead did not feel exactly right, and the street began to rock from side to side, so that it was uncertain to us which side of the street we were op. Su we crossed over, but found ourself on the saune side that we were on before we crossed over. Ltdeed, we imagined that we were on both sides at the sane time, and several fast teams driving between. We met anther b .y who asked us why we looked so pale, and we told hint we did not look pa's, but that he Was pale. himself. W sat down a do n under the bridge and began to reflect on the prospect of early decease, and on the uncertainty of 3111 earthy expectations. We had dotermino 1 to smoke the cigar all up and thus get the worth of our money, but were obliged to throw three-fourths of it away, yet knew just where we threw it in case we felt better the next day. Getting home, the old people were fright- ened, and demanded that we state what kept us so late, and what was the nt ittor with us. Not feeling that we were Balled to go into particulars, and not wishing to Increase our parents apprehension that we were going to turn out badly, we summed up the case with the statement that we felt miserable at the pit of the stomach. We had mustard plas- ters admiuistered, and careful watching for some hours, when we fell asleep and forgot our disappointment and humiliation in be- ing obliged to throw away three-fourths of our first cigar. -T.

Never oat a morsel of any sort between meals. Never eat when very tired, whether ex- hausted from mental or physical labor, Never eat when the mind is worried or the temper ruffled, if it is possible, to avoid doing so. Eat slowly, masticate the food very thor- onghly, even more so, if possible, than is re- quired iu health. Avoid drinking at meals; at most take a few sips of warm unstlmulating drink at close of the meal, if the food is very dry in character, In general dyspeptic stomachs manage dry food better than that containing much fluid; so avoid light soups. Eat neither very hot nor cold food. The best temperature is about that of the body. Avoid exposure to cold soon after eating. Eat only fond that is easy of digestion, avoiding complicated and indigestible dishes, and take but two or three kinds at a meal. Be careful to avoid excess in eating. Eat no more than the wants of the system re- quire. Strength depends not on what is eaten, but on what is digested. Never take violent exercise of any sort, either mental or physical, just before or after a meal. It is not good to sleep im mediately after eating. If it is thought necessary to eat three times a day make the last meal very light. For most dyspeptics two meals aro better than more. Most persons will be boneflrto 1 by the use of oateneal,wheat ileal, or graham flour, cracked wheat, and other whole grain pre- parations, though many will find it necessary to avoid vegetables, especially when fruits are taken.
