"I ru-ver had a sweet gazelle." This is not inserted merely as a uoialion from a well-known poem of nit her sceptical tendencies it is an honest statement of plain truth. And the truth somo of it- must riot bo .suppressed. the truth without or criminating any

When 1 can tell committing myself of my neighbors, it,, oven if there is no one around to hear it. Sometimes it is the wisest and safest course to select ju.sl thut sort of nn audienea before unburdening ones self of a hold-full of truth and a deck-load of mitigating circumstances. But in this case, as no one has complained of having lost any ewecS gazelles, either by stampeding or by the change of brand, 1 de-em it my duty to assert once more that I never had a sweet gazelle to glad me with its soft black eye.

I uin going to tell

I did own. duriny the years of my boyhood, at various times, a startling collection of unpedigreed doffs, that would gladly have given a black eye to any sweet gazelle that might have wandered into our section of the wilderness, but dogs don't count in the sum of human wealth, save among boye. And yet I beliove that my doga were my only successful von In res. They never cost me anything, beyond the natural impulses of a warm, loving heart, that went out to every homeless or unloved dog that somebody wanted to get rid of and nobody else would have. 1 have no doubt that if ever I had had a .sweet gazelle, if. would have got up and died in the fourth line of the first stanza in tho most approved and gazelle-like fashion. .My sister Mary had a little lamb once, and died, with some professional assistance from I'm' emeritus professor of ethical butchery ami psychical tsausago handling in our town, and mighty good chop we got out of it, too. ou never hall" approbate a lamb until it is dead. Liut 1 wander.

I say 1 never lost anything on my 'logs. Tii.'.v were not sweet like a gazelle. Au •011 train.', they wert ijiiite altogether t'other, especially on rainy days. But they were brave,"and fought everything in i'eoria county that wore bair.and had an ear loug enough to catch on to. They wert vigilant, aud not only so, but they kept everybody else in the neighborhood vigilant. 1 had one long-necked, imported Dutch dog. I didn't import him myself: I only coaxed him away from the wagon of the man who did. lie whsonu of those long, low, rakish dogs, drawing about fourteen inches forward and eight and a half aft. so that, h» always steered uneasily, lie win about four feel, long, 1 should judge, and when he was standing still he looked liko •stick of cord wood on stovo legs. When he stood up on his hind legs, hes could easily look in at a second-story window. When ho got down on all fours, ho could just as easily walk under a board sidewalk.lie used tostick his head uround tho corner of the street, and growl, and make faces, and provoke some strange dog from kridnoror Kiekapoo to anger. Then ho would run himself out on tho V, back down on th« siding, and switch himself on the main lino all ready for a collision, but by that, time, unless tho strange dog became utterly paralyzed with fright and amazement, he eithor got his orders by signal and run wild till lie dropped dead, or else lay down in the dust, confessed everything, and threw himself on the mercy of tho court. Ho dug a hole under the ffsoe, so that hs could lie nuietly and peacefully in our yard, and bark under our nsighbor's windows. This led to many misunderstandings. lie was so long that, when you spoke kindly to him. Ins broad, honest face would light up with grateful joy nearly two minutes before tho emotion got far enough aft to wag his tail. I don't think the other members of mv father's family appreciated the Dutch dog's many personal traits as 1 did. Ho took up so much of their time. You see if you glanced up just as ht» was passing a window, and only his body was in your line of sight, you had to wait until one line or the other came in view, before you know whether the dog was standing*out to sea, or barking in to the dock. A traveler, who once came to I'eoria from far-away Koston. said he was a dock suned. So we called him "Doc it was a good (lame for him, because ho was fond"of giving us bark and whine, and always carried a great deal of canine about with him. This is not very imppruvian reading but it is a great deal better I ban some very much worse things 1 havo written.

He was a long-lived dog. Death came very near to him several times, but didn't know at which end to begin. Hutat last the poor dog died one morning like a snake, head tirst, and his tail ceased to wag when the sun went down. We snaked him out to a cornfield and buried him lengthwise in a land-furrow. He was a strange-tempered dog, that seemed always to take a morbid, but solemn pleasure in his own elongation, and he impressed you with the conviction that in a former sphere of existence he had been an eminently respectable foot man in a wealthy family. One deg, with whom 1 was in business for nearly two years, was a red-handed anarchist. He had a short, haughty upper lip. and withering expression. He used to go out on the sidewalk, when the skies were faint in the west with opaline tints. and the grav shadows of tho gloaming announced the vesper hour, and there he would stand., wrapped in thought, find smile to see the villagers wade across the broad ami dusty street to the farther shore, when they made him out. As long as ho and I wero partners, I never knew him to bite a human being, excepting myself, but he always looked r.s though he was thinking about it. anil had just made up ids mind to tear the vital organism out of the next living creature that came along, and this kept our pleasant little community on a tension of anxiety and vague, uncertain fear that was terrible. I lis colors were mixed goods of black and brown, arranged in irregular tigerish stripes, aud ho had a good plaoe for a

nonC tail, but that was all. I think be trayiII I J.N. eled largolj on his shape. He came to

me—the

gift of a colored man. a deck

hand on the Sam Graty, who brought him from St. Louis -shortly before the I long narrow-gauge Dutch dog died,

In fact, one of the last acts of the Dutch dog was to teach the Anarchist some sense. The Anarchist came suddenly upon the rear guard of Dutch dog one dav, and, relaxing his haughty demeanor for the nonce, fell upon it, and bsgan to destroy it, when the long dog, becoming aware of a disturbance somewhere down the line, countermarched, and coming rapidly down his own flank fell upon the Anarchist with furious energy and srnot* him hip and thigh. It is but justice to the Anarchist to say that he was sadly hampered from the outset, thinking that he was fighting two dogs, aud was thus unable to concentrate his forcos. But he was a badly whipped dog, and ever afterward he sought to inspire terror rather by presenting a strong front, hideous with suggestions of masked batteries, a splendid reserve line, and flanks heavily curtained with cavalry. It was magnificent, but it was not war. It was better. It was bloodless, triumphant and honorable Peace. There wasn't a man or dog in Peoria but feared him. He was ou good terms with the boye, but they always treated him' with profound respect, never took any liberties with him, and always seemed more at ease at our house when the Anarchist was out making calls. He made a great many call.*, and he always got what he called for. He never called twice also, and he never tipped the waiter, too. He didn't have to.

He was a born hater of law and government. He never wanted what you gave him. If I brought him boiled rice and beef, ho sneered at it so terribly I was frightened. If I gave him a bone next day, ho growled for rice and boiled beef. If I offered him both, he wanted only brown bread and gravy. He never ate'what you gave him. He always slept in one particular place, when first he came to board with us. I built him a kennel on that very epot, and ever after he slept in the wood-shed. Once let him know what you wanted him to do, and he wouldn't do it. One day, just to see how much pluck he had, I set him on a peddler. lie turned around, bit tne twice in the same leg and I had only two at that time -smiled on the peddler reassuringly, wagged the place where ids tail should have been, and went away to make a few calls, leaving me to the tender mercies of the indignant peddler. have no doubt this perversity prolonged the Anarchist's life. He was not popular in tho neighborhood fewof my dogs were, in fact -and sometimes, when morning dawned, we would find in the yard, near by the Anarchist's sleepingplace, a nice, inviting piece of meat that had not been ordered, but had evidently been left as a present by some kindly disposed friend, liut "Friendship's Offerings" had no gross, earthly charms for tho Anarchist. Ho accepted the homage and tho tribute, but he wasn't a god of human clay to come down from his pedestal and eat the offering o» the alter. Housed to smell the 'votive offering suspiciously, and turn away disdainfully. Then during the day f.omo neighbor's dog would come sneaking into the yard, grab up tho meat with guilty haste, bolt it on the run. and in half an hour, by that mysterious telegraphy in use among wild Indians and boys, tho word would be passed around that "Soanao'e dog's R-dyin' pisened!" And tho growing elu'eter of excited boys, perched in safe places on fence and wood shed, would indicate the phu-e of the tragedy.

I was very fond of the Anarchist, but Fftlo wrote, his doom in glowing letters of yellow and crimson and blue upon the barn doors and fences. Tho circus pictures pronounced separation between us. Pour boys ho passed into the circus, aud when we came out I cast a guilty.heavyhearted look around, and saw the Anarchist chained to the forward wheel of the red ticket wagon, a nobler, fiercerlooking brute than the oak-tanned lion in the cage. He saw me. and his reproachful glance haunted me for many days. 1Jnt I comforted myself thinking how happ I would bo with a circus, and surely the Anarchist's lot would bo happy one. always liko to see a boy with a dog a good." honest, faithful, loving dog. They are natural companions: they understand each other. A good boy, who knows how to take care of a dog, should have one if he wants one. But a boy who will mako a harness for a dog, and compcl the honest brute to haul him around in a wagon deserves to bo put on tho treadmill for six weeks. A dog, tins side of E-jquimau land, isn't a beast of burden.

So all my d»g:J have passed away, and every dog "has had his day. ith eager, questioning, thumping tail like mufiled blows of threshing Hail, no more they thump upon my lloor their tattoo as in days of yore. My daily walKs no moro they cheer, with yelping voices sharp and clear no more for me. from morn till night, they scratch for rats or join the tight no more, when pausing in the chase, we stop to eat ami rest a space, do they, when we sit down to dine, eat all their own. and most of mine at, golden eve and rosy dawn. missi them —all my dogs are gone.

Why Mrs. Henry Ward Beeeher Thinks Early Love the Purest and Truest.

LONG ENGAGEMENTS ARE NOT GENERALLY BENEFICIAL.

The Happiest Marriages Those Where Love is Early Pledged —Young Men Better Off for

Marrying Early.

[Copyrighted. 185:7.

[Wrltt«u for the Bxpress.J

Long engagements and early marriages are questions often discussed and never settled. It is natural that parents should be anxiously watchful lest their sons or daughters should bo entrapped into an engagement or marriage before their school days are ended, and business prospects settled on a sure basis. Entrapped is not a pleasant word, but the guardiauB of the young should be vigilant that tho danger it implies may never befall those under their supervision. et one must be Argus-eyed, indeed, who can under all circumstances effectually bar tho entrance of love on one side, and caprice. cupidity or guile on tho other. "Women are more easily deluded by pleasant attentions, tender words, and soft persuasive flatteries than men, and in prudential matters far lees suspicious. It is here that parents are the most troubled, and this is where lurks the greatest danger.

BiK this is only one view of the question. Wo are no

advocate

of long en­

gagements or unreasonably early marriages, but when true love finds an entrance with the young there is less danger of its being spurious than in later years. Although most parents object to this, they havo far stronger grounds to hope for happiness for their children than after the excitement of business and the love of money has secured a strong hold on tho young man, and a few seasons in the height of fashionable society liRve given the damsel some lessons in the game of coquetry, and a taste for dress and gayety which she soon believes will bo best secured by a marriage for that which riches will yield her rather than the simpler, purer joys that pure love insures.

NVo believa that the happiest marriages are those whose love was early pledged, and that close observation vrill prove that such are the most likely to stand the test of time, and will pass through tho many rough and hazardous paths of married life with tho most cheerful fortitude. When marriago is delayed till habits have becomo too firmly established to give way kindly to another's wishes, or to gontiy overlook another'# pecularities, the prospect of a pleaeant, harmonious life are not the most encouraging. An early union gives fairer promise that tho wedded pair may go down to a peaceful, happy old age, not only without losing tho lore that first united them, but with a firm hope that it will grow brighter and brighter, until that porfect day, when both, havieg passed over the river, will stand with clearer vision and purified affection before the throne of their Maker.

When young people have linished the education which was intended to fit them to begiu their life's work, if they are so fortunate as to lovo and bo beloved at that period, then there can be no doubt but that an early marriago is best for both parties. There is no period in a young man's life when he so much needs the counsel, sympathy, and inspiration, born of pure love, as when, in his fresh,uncontaminated young manhood ho begins the battle of life -a battle that all must fight in their first efforts to secure tho fair prospect of a future independent support. He who enters the arena of life for contest with seen and unseen obstacles, strengthened and shielded by the love which gladly unites with him to lay the foundations of a true home is the safest, and by far more certain of success.

Knowing that his wife presides in his simple dweling, and while she seoks to aid him by affectionate caro and judicious tconyaiy his labors must provide the means for their support, how can this thought fail to give impetus to ©very exertion? All toil is sweet, all self-denial a pleasure, because it is for her, or, rather, for both made one. Whatever the avocation or height of intellectual culture, the supreme love shielding tho new home is the same. The woodman's axe swings lighfer, tho ring of the hammers ou the anvil has more music than fatigue in it. tne farmer whistles more blithely over the work of seedtime and harvest, the sharpest toil of the mechanic is full of joy when he knows that his fair young partner, while watching his return, is providing daintily for his comfort, and is ready to giro him a loving welcome. Fairer visions ar« caught and transferred to tho artist's canvas because colored with tho thoughts of the ono who presides over his home. The dullest subjects aro clad with vigor and freshness in the author's mind because he cares more to please the gentle critic at home than the public. The image of the young wife, whose thoughts will follow him with faith and confidence in his success, enables the lawyer to think more clearly aud plead his cause with more effective energy. The physician. as he goes among his patients, knows there is one—now all his own--who will pray that his efforts may be rightly directed, and this knowledge so fills his heart and enriches it that hig very presence by the eick-bed has healing in it. The young pastor will work with more zeal and tenderness because of the loving encouragement that will cheer him when he returns home.

Is any one inclined to call this sentimental romancing? We pity those who, having passed through the experiences of youth and middle age. or beyond the fourscore years, are not ready to accept this as sober truth.

In every position in life an early marriage that enables two faithful hearts to become the united architects of a home is a blessing that seems not to be fully understood. It builds up a more perfect manhood or womanhood than can be secured in any other way. Each is a shield to the other against the snares and temptations that lie in wait for the unwary. and those who walk alone. A happy early marriage is the strongest insurance of a pure life.

The advice to wait'until one has time and opportunity to know something of life so as to judge witb prudenoe. put­

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 18. 1887.

ting all romantic notions out of mind, too often proves a fearful temptation to evil and wrong-doing. Any one. man or woman, who ventures to assume the marriage relation chiefly, from prudential reasons, instead of through the rich romance of the heart, if such they choose to term it, has simply made a business bargain, instead of accepting what God designed it to be—the richest and most blessed gift to mankind.

If betrothal or marriage is deferred, the young are easily caught in tlfe fatal nets of society life, and submit to be governed chiefly by such regulations and ideas as are sanctioned by custom. Soon they lind that the thought of "position"' is tempting them to put off all idea of marriage until a chance shall offer, which a young man can secure only by allowing' his head to govern his heart. Then ambition, not iove, becomes his master.

The young girl who loved early but is tempted to wait until she has enjoyed a few seasons in fashionable life before she consents to consummate her betrothal, is in danger of throwing away her fairest opportunity to secure true solid happiness just for a shadow "that shines to bewilder and dazzles to blind." She begins to think that it is but prudent for her to waif until her lover shall secure the means to enable them to begin their life in as elegant and genteel a 6tvle as her tastes under fashionable training imperiously demand, or, at least, as high a financial position as her parents, after long years of toil, have attained, just as their daughter arrives at an age to be grafted into another stock, forgetting that "a graft should always be willing to be a graft, patientlywaiting until by legitimate growth it hai mado its own top," and has become strong enough by this patient waiting to vie with the parent tree.

The young girl who, after engagement, says, "I will not marry until mvlorer can provide for me as abundantly at the beginning of our married life as my father was .ible to at the close of his." is sowing sorrow "for her reaping by and by." But blessings will follow her who willingly goes forth to help build up another home, knowing that she may encounter many difficulties, perhaps some hardships, and may find cause for much self-denial. While she carries into her new life all the delicacy and refinement of thought and action which was fostered in the luxury and abundance of her father's house, she is ready to accept her husband's less prosperous, it may be straightened circumstances, and thus both together chcerfully endeavor to build up a fair and honorable position by beginning at the foundation. It is the greatest folly to protract an engagement after the lover has finished education and enterod on his business or profession, until he shall have accumulated sufficient wealth to keep his bird in a golden cage.

Begin your life's work together. That is the true way, and all the sweeter and happier if you begin small. The less style there is, the less of real wealth there is, the more time and tho more need there will be to become fully acquainted with each other's complete character, and a bettor opportunity to learn how to bear and forbear, to aid each other to tone down or modify such peculiarities as are in

daBger

of disturbing

mutual confidence and amiability. It is no blot or disparagement that there aro some peculiarities—they are found i& all character*. It ia quite right that it sbeuld bo so, and if the game tendernese and courtesy which was so easily exercised in the days of courtship, is, by mutual consent or practice, carried into married life, the early wedded become mem closely assimilated, and find in their union an ever-increasing happiness which marriages of moro advanced ages seldom realize after their habits becomo fixed and more unyiolding.

But some young people say, "Those who know us now in our father's house (if that early home chances to be one of luxury) would not stoop to recognize us if they found us in circumstances beneath those we now are known in. Besides, if we begin in a small way, with limited means, we will be subjected to some coarse, hard work, and thus 'lose caste' among friends."

Such friends are not worth regretting. Having outgrown babyhood and childhood none can expect to be always cradled in their parents' arms. Those who are of any real worth will cheerfully accept tho life as they find it. "Its rough ascents or flowery slopes," if trod together and in love, will insure genuine happiness. We often think one stores up quite as much real pleasure passing through the rough places as when walking among tho flowers. We know that the retrospection is an unfailing source of blessed enjoyment.

Work together, plan together, select and furnish the house or rooms together. Be ono in all homo arrangements. The less talk of "mine and thine" the better. We are satisfied that "my rights" should be erased from the dictionary which governs husband and wife, and "our rights" substituted.

But, notwithstanding short engagements and early marriage certainly appear to be the most certain road to abiding happiness, there are some cases which necessitate a long engagement. But it is full of dangers and uncertainty. Yet if each continue faithful, and swerve not from their plighted vows until the circumstances which compelled "delay have passed or been overcome, then a long engagement almost invariably ends in a very happy marriage. A love that has not been shaken by the long delay, and usually involving long absences, is not built on sand, but on a rock, over which floods may sweep and the wind threaten in vain. If young people were trained to look upon an engagement as a solemn contract as binding in God's sight as marriage, there would be very little danger.

It in early youth, before education is completed, and somo profession or employment is secured, two meet and are drawn together, becoming devotedly attached, then the engagement, even if necessity it must bo long, is the wisest, any sacrifice is better than to relinquish the first love. We firmly believe in the first love, given when the heart is young and tender, unstained by too close contact with the world and its bewitching, beguiling attractions. Such love, honestly given, and as truly returned, is next to a mother's love—the safeguard of young men and maidens. This once secured the world may spread out all her devices ever 60 skillfully and she will not break the bond.

So, because the first young lore is so sweet, so strong, and, when faithfully nurtured, so enduring, we say, "let it not go," even if it can be held only by along engagement.
