UNHEEDED.

MINNIE OWREY ROBERTS 1 II was feeble, and old, and an outcast; His garments mere ragged and thin; . His face waa a page full of conflict With misery, sorrow and sin. He paused by the chu; iL u the organ Stole out in an interlude sweet. With urprite like a soul when the glories ' Of Heaven hia wondering eyes greet. And uiem'rv came and unbidden. k 1 It brought bim his childhood ag&io; And fountains long sealed up and hidden, Away from the eyes of all men. Welled up, as he thought of his mother Of prayers he had said by her knee And the cry went up front the sinner, "Oh! God, hare mercy on me!" L : t Just then, hon the prayer that by Ii eaten Was heard and alone, with bis hand, IL pushed at the c'oor that had gireu Frte entrauce at mammon's command, But the sexton, on seeing his tatter. Said: "You can not enter, begone!" And out from the sound of the organ He crept, his old pathway upon. Was it strange, as I watched him, I wondered, ; When feeble and tatwred and bent, II pushed at the portals of Heaven Remembering the cries he had sent, Imploringly up to his Father "Hare mercy. Oh! God, ma upon!" If Jsus should say from the glory, " Yon can not here enter begone!" SUSHINö INTO LOVE. By Author of "The Divorced Wife," "The Satin Slirper," "tc ' John and Kebccca Kodiield had lived for many yeanj ia the quiet country .place of C , and acquired, by constant toil and unwavering industry, enough of this world's goods to be counted well-to do people. John had already lived out the allotted time of three score years and ten, while Aunt Becky as she was familiarly called), was approaching sixty-five. Without a child upon earth to take care of, one would hardly suppose that the household work would be much, but they were uncommonly busy this particular morning. Uncle John (for everybody called him so) had taken unusual care in completing his toilet, as also had his good spouse; she could be seen occasionally at the door, as if expecting someone; and her white cap, with its benevolent border, and her "new calico" told too plainly that indeed some one was expected. Uncle John, wearied of watching, has taken his pipe for a stroll through the orchard, which was rich with its abundance of fruit. Xot long, however, did Aunt Becky have to wait for the anticipated arrival, for a carriage soon drove up to the gate, and a saucy looking little maiden made herself visible, and was goon kissing Aunt Becky in a style that showed very plainly that she was really very glad to see her. Tilsie Vane, for that was her name, was the child of Aunt Becky's only sister and the petof both theold couple she usually visited. "Come, Tilsie, sit down and tell me all about the folks," said Aunt Becky, who was anxious to near of her only surviving relatives. "Well, let me see; father is well, mother is well, Charlie h Charlie is sick." "Poqr boy!" replied Aunt Becky, sorrowfully. "He ort tu have come too; it would have done him sich a deal of good to get some ef this fresh country air! What ails him Tilsie?" "Ails him?" replied the roguish little maiden. Ails him? Why, Aunt Becky, he is past cure nothing in the line of medicines can cure him." "La, Tilsie, how you do talkl Is it the same bronchitis, or " "No no, aunty; he is in love really in love." "Now. don't be foo'ing, child; but tell me that they are well, and du keep a sober face. I can't tell when tu believe you." "Everybody's well, then," replied Tilsie, pettishly, not relishing Aunt Becky's la3t speech, "even to Packet, the horse, and Rover, the dog; and so good bye, I'm going to find Uncle John." "Well, dear, I think you will find him in the orchard, and " " "I can find him if he is on the farm." And away she ran, while Aunt Becky called after in vain. "Dear, dear! What a highfly she is! I wanted to tell her that Peter Stradspraker was stopping with ua; but la she could not wait tu hear, and jest like as not she'll see him, and " Aunt Becky didn't finish the sentence, 'Wut went about her housework, while Tilsie went romping through the orchard in search of good-natured Uncle John. Presently she curbs her steps somewhat, for she espies Uncle John, as ehe thinks, sitting against a large apple-tree, enjoying the green meadows and the bright sky above him. Tilsie creeps cautiously up behind him, and suddenly thrust3 her roguish face into his, at the same time hallooing "boo!" She gave oae icreara and made good her steps for the house, while the gentleman, who was none other than Peter Stradspraker, was somewhat puzzled at such an unexpected introduction, and ere he could recover from his astonishment Tilsie was out of sight. But as the old couple had informed him previously that they were expecting a niece there, he soon accounted for the intrusion, and declared (to himself, of course), that it was not a disagreeable little face to have thrust into his own; and all his mind could now conjure up was a rose bud mouth, deep blue eyes and pretty little gaiter boots. Tilsie reached the house nearly out of breath. 'Oh, Aunt Becky 1 1 went to find Uncle John, and when I thought I had found him, I stole up behind him to say 'boo,' to surprise him, and dear me, I thrust my hand into a stranger's and a man's too.'' Aunt Becky could do nothing but laugh at poor Tilsie's confusion. "Tilsie, child, I called after you, but you would not give heed. I want to tell you that Peter Stradspraker, a young lawyert"and the on of an old sweetheart of your Uncle , John's, was visiting us." "An old sweetheart as Uncle John?" Why, Aunt Becky, I don't think, if I were you, I'd thank any such ones to send their children to sc me." "Ah! child, this was a long time ago; besides, I loved her, too, and we have always kept up the old acquaintance." "Don't you feel jealous of her sometimes, and. fear she might steal some of Uncle John's affections from you?" asked Tilsie roguishly. "Lame! Ho never noticed her after he became acquainted with me; so you see I have no reason to be jealous." 44 What an awful sounding jiame! Peter Stradspraker 1 1 would like to see the woman who would be willing to adopt that name. Hark! I hear some one; I know that is Uncle John." And away Tilsie ran, without stopping to think for a moment, and in another instant she had thrust herselfm the arms of the young lawyer, who did not sefcm inclined to rt-l.'aso her, when Uncle John luade his appearance, and Tiloie went on to tell him of the proceeding, when Uncle and Peter laughed heartily. This was an uneasy girl, arid could not keep quiet long; therefore the reader need not bo startled at finding her the nex day after her arrival in the barn looking for hen's eggs. She mounted the ladder to the hayloft, and began her search; bting unused to . the place, she did not heed an opening in tho floor, and ere she was aware she had stepped through and was unable to extricate herself; besides, she was just above the horse's head, and what if he should feel inclined to taste of her foot for she had heard Uncle John speak of his biting propensities. Tilsie was in quite a quandry when the stable door opened; and again to her chagrin and mortification, Peter Stradspraker entered. As Tilsie expected, he came directly toward the horse and began untying the halter, preparatory to taking a ride. Peter espied the foot, and instantly ascended the scaffold and released her from her unpleasant situation, with many inquiries as to whether she was injured which Tilsie answered as well as

her shame would let her. Peter thought

then he never saw a being more beautiful than Tilsie. "Well, Aunt Becky, if Peter Stradspraker don't love me, it ain t my fault,' exclaimed Tilsie, on reaching tho house. 'Why, what now, dear? What have you done?" asked the good old lady, peering over her spectacles at the speaker. ; I have done enough. In novels the hero ino faints and falls into the arms of her fu ture husband, or he save3 her from death, or something else very wonderful, wlila I have thrust my face into that of 3Ir. Strt dapraker, and hallooed boo, thrown myself into his arms, and and Aunt Becky, to finish the whole, showed him my foot through a hole in the scaffold floor. What will it be next, I wonder? I hate mvsclf and everybody else." "Not so bad," replied Aunt Becky her sides shakinsr with suppressed laughter. "I dare sav, Peter'll think right about it." ''Think right about it! Mercy, how can he? I j never want to see his face, agin" And thus poof Tilsie ran on, while Aunt Becky endeavored to console her. When tea was ready, Tilsie could not be prevailed upon to participate. Peter imagined he was not ignorant of the cause, as he thought of white stockings and number one gaiter boots, for Peter was in love, yes deeply in love with the wild Tifsie Vane; and, although only two days under the same roof, she in return felt something akin toward loving the handsome vouug lawyer. The next evening Tilsie, feeling exhausted from the day's exerciso, was about to retire earlior than the usual hour; and, as was her custom, kissed Aunt Becky good night, and went out on the porch to bid Uncle John good night also. The moon had not yet risen, and Iilsie could see distinctly only a short distance ahead. However, she saw Uncle John on the far end of the porch, in his accustommed place in the warm summer evenings; and, approaching him, clasped her arms about his neck, and kissed a kind good night. "Oh I TruAa .TfVhn I" cniil elm T'm nourlv mortified to death about Mr. Stradspraker. I must tell you before 1 retire. I don t know what he will think of me, for " She stopped short for, reader, it was Pe ter Stradspraker whom she was addressing. Her first impulse was to leave, but he gently detained her. "Oh, Mr. Stradspraker! it is an accident I I have" She could proceed no further, but buried her face in her hands. Tilsie, I will tell you what Peter St'adspraker thinks of you. I love you passionately love you. Tell me, can 1 hope you love me in return? ' Well, reader, I shan't tell vou anv more thev said that night. I saw Tilsie did not retire as easy as she anticipated; and not many weeks after she said to Aunt Becky: "1 thrust my face into his and halloed 'boo,' 1 threw myself into his arms, I showed him my foot through an aperture in the scaffold, and kissed him in the dark, all within three days, and won him after all, didn't 1?'' "And Peter Stradspraker isn't such a queer sounding name now, is it, Tilsie? Besides, I'm sure you don't hate everybody now; if you did, you wouldn't be for marrying Peter next month," Aunt Becky said, roguishly. How the Ladien Fish. There are generally about six of them in a bunch, with light dresses on, and they have three poles with as many hooks and lines among them. As soon as they get to the river they look for a good place to get down the bank, and the most venturesome one sticks her boot heels in the bank and makes two careful steps down then finds herself at the bottom, with both hands in the water, and a feeling that everybody in this wide world is looking at her, and she never tells anybody how she got there. The other giris, profiting by her example, turn around and go down the bank on their hands and toes, backward. Then they scamper over the raits until they find a shallow place where they can see the fish, and shout: "Oh, I see onel" "Where?" "Oh, my, so he is!" "Let's catch himl" "Who's got the bait?" ""You lazy thing, you're sitting on my polel" AH these exclamations are gotten off in a tone that awakens every echo within a mile around, and sends every fish that hears into "galloping hysterics." Then the girls, by superhuman exertion, manage to get a worm on the hook and throw it into the water with a splash like the launching of a wash-tub, and await the result. After awhile a feebleminded sunfish contrives to get fastened on the hook of a timid woman, and -she gives vent to her tongut.g "Oh, something' got my hook!" "Pull up, you little idiot!" shout about five excited voices, as poles and hooks are dropped and they run to the rescue. The girl with the bite gives a spasmodic jerk, which sends the unfortunate "sunny" into the air the full length of the lin, and he comes down on the nearest curly head with a damp flop that sets her clawing as though there were bumblebees in her hair. "Oh, murder I take it awayl Ughl take it away, the nasty thing!" Then they hold up their skirst and gather about that fish as he skips over the logs, one all the time holding the line in both hands, with her foot on the pole, as though she had an evil-disposed goat at tho other end. Then they talk it over." "How will it ever get off?" "Ain't it pretty?" "Wonder if it ain't dry?" "Poor little thing! let's put it back again ?" "How will we get the hook from its mouth?" The Era. Social Extravagance. ' It is the opinion of competent observers that social extravagance prevails to a greater extent at present than during any previous period in the history of the ltepublic. Common attention will convince one that the evil is keeping pace with the revival of business prosperity, and all classes of society are more or less permeated by it. Splendid equipage and dress, the costliest furnishings of house and lands, ostentatious displays of wealth are faults of the rich; expensive imitation, the danger of the poor. The old rule of keeping expenses inside of the income account is but seldom thought of. Released from the restraints of the long business depression, people are rushing Wildly into expenditures, neither thinking nor caring for the day of reckoning. There is not a departpartment in housenold economy where the old maxims of eelf-denial and simplicity are allowed to assert themselves. The giving of a social dinner, unless it is accompanied by a resplendence of taste and lashion, is more likely than not to be criticised as ill-bred and vulgar. Women and children must be dressed with a splendor that bespeaks a court instead Of the plain and solid character of the old Republic. The evil is not confined to the rich. The poor, whose earnings at best are small, find or invent means for imitating extravagance of the higher classes. The moral enervation of this course is disastrous. Poverty has never done so much injury in the world as unwise and lavish expenditure of money. A people struggling for existence will be stronger, morally more wholesome, than one surrounded with every luxury that wealth can control. Not but that money, when rightly used, is one of the most beneficent agencies in the world, for it is. But if it is to sink men in luxury it is a fatal possession. What is needed more than anything else is the restoration of the old habit and practice ot economy. Tho founders of the Nation were rigidly plain and simple in their course of life, and imitation of their example must be urged in every way ond shape. The time has come to call a halt in the social extravagance of the period. Greater simplicity must be had, less display made, and the virtue of economy inculcated and practiced,

BONAPARTE'S YOUTH.

Topularlj Received Notion of the First Consul's Early Career Erroneous. Philadelphia Record. Very much as certain cherished stories of our childhood are being stamped as myths is the chronicler of to-day dealing with the character of Napolen Bonaparte. William Tell and tho apple, John Smith and Poca hontas and even Washington and the cherry tree, prove to be nothing more than cunning ly-devised tales to mislead comiding youth. It is as bad with the commonly -received netion of the First Consul. Instead of hav ing a head twenty-four inches in circumference it required only a No. 6$ hat to accommodate him; yet he covered his twenty-one inches of skull with a monstrous chapeau to deceive people, lhat he was without moral control Mad. do Remusat has shown in her spicy memoirs, and the Metternich memoirs and the Bogaslawski papers have also contributed to the literature of disenchantment. Now comes a couple of volumes (with more promised) frem the pen of M. Jung, in which more of the disguise is remorselessly stripped away from the Napoleonic legend. The Bonaparte family seem to have been liars of the most unblushing sort. There was so much deception on the part of the parents that it is even now uncertain when Napoleon was born and what his given name wa. "Was the future Emperor borD at Ajaccio on tho 15th of August, 1769, or at Corte on the 7th of January, 1768. and was his name really Nabulion. Napoiione or Napoleone dc Buonaparte?" Such are the questions M. Jung discusses at great length. August 15, 1769, is the date universally ac cepted and officially celebrated, and it is the date borne on the certificate of baptism preserved at Parb. "Napoleone Bonaparte" is the name there given in a certificate granted July 21, 1771, and copied June 23, 17 G But there is also in the archives of the War Department a Latin certificate of the baptism at Corte January 8, 1768, of the child ot Charles Bonaparte and his wife Laetitia, born on the previous day and named "Nabulione," while in the records of Ajaccio there i3 an Italian copy of a certificate of baptism in which tho child i3 called "Joseph Nabu lion." Against the genuineness of this last certificate are the facts that it only pretends to be a copy of an unknown original, that it is in a handwriting different from that of the register, and that the name "Joseph" is French though at the time the French lan guage had not not made its way into Corsica. In the "memories of Joseph Bonaparte" he sets himself down as the eldest son bom at Corte in 1768, but in his marriage contract (August 1, 1714) he calls himself a native of Ajaccio, and the witnesses to his identity and bachelorhood declare twice that he was born and baptized at Ajaccio. Napoleon's own marriage certificate says he was born "r ebruary 5, 17G8," but there is clearly a clerical error as to the month. Josephine represented herself as younger than she was, at the same time that her husband added to hi3 age, the object being clearly to render the disparity less conspicious. Further, Napoleon in his letter to raoli. June vz, 1 says: "1 was l)orn as the country perished. Thirty thousand French soldiers such wa3 the odious spectacle which first met my gaze. The cries of the dying, the sighs of the oppressed, the tears of despair surrounded my cradle at my birth." August 15, 1769, he could not nave heard tnese w m S 11. cries and sighs, lor tne island naa then been pacified, but if he was born at Corte in January, 1768, his cradle was environed bv the last strifes between the Corsicans and the French. A solution is sought in the lact that a child of more than ten years of age was not eligible for admission at Brienne. In December, 1 778, when Charles Bonaparte wished to place one of his sons there, only the boy born in 1769 was eligible, and that boy Joseph was too quiet and gentle to make a prom ising sailor, while the senior Napoleon was quick, ardent and decided. Accord ingly the father "mixed those babies up" and launched .Napoleon at .Brienne with Joseph's record, and Joseph at Autuni with Napoleon's. When Louis, on the 4th Brumaire. year 111, was made a lieutenant of artillery, he credited himself with services he had never performed and "several wounds" he had never received, while Joseph (September 4, year II), when he was made a commissary, borrowed Irou .Napoleon the title of "Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry" to qualify himself under a formal law, though he had never served. Ten years later Joseph Bonaparte drew up his own record when he was to be brevetted colonel, and set himself down as an artillery cadet in 1768, staff officer in 1792, adjutant in 1793, as a participant in the campaigns of 1793 and 1794, and as having been slightly wounded at Toulon, whereas he had never been cadet, staff officer or adjutant, had stayed at Marseilles throughout 1793-4, and had not been wounded at Toulon. Bonaparte made a very poor subordinate. Almost his first act was to ask for five and a half months leave on pretence of illness, though in reality to settle his family affairs in Corsica and pursue his literary studies, and, when it expired, did not return to his regiment, nor even ask for its extension till some five weeks had elapsed. In September, 1789, he obtained six months leave, and his conduct was such that it is surprising he was not shot for mutiny. Another leave of four and a half months was obtained on a false representation of illness, and after it expired he remained nearly four months away from his regiment in effect a deserter but succeeded in excusing himself on the pretence that head winds had prevented his passage When in June, 1 91, he left his regiment, being promoted to a lieutenancy in tho Fourth Artillery, ho had been absent on leave thirtyfive months out of sixty-nine, and of the period of ninety-nine months of service which Napoleon Bonaparte passed between his debut as ensign and his reception as a general officer, just forty-one were passed with his corps or on active duty. M. Jung's researches had been made in a prolific field, and he has brought many facts to light which it was the policy of Napoleon to keep from view. The Emperor himself declared that his public life began at the siege of Toulon, and most chroniclers have touched very tenderly on the previous events of his career. Kissing: Sister Green. Baltimore American. A representative of the American a few nights ago had the satisfaction of viewing from a convenient spot the proceedings of a meeting of the stewards of a colored church in South Baltimore. Though not carried on in a strictly Parliamentary manner, it nevertheless demonstrated the ability of a colored divine to run a meeting "oa his own hook." The minister presided, and the meeting was opened with the hymn," O, for a thousand tongues to sing," after which the minister delivered an effective prayer, in which occurred the remarkable passage: "O Lord, light on this benighted soul, and teach him dat sich practices won't be tolerated in this congregasnun." Like the minister who threatened to throw a brick from the pulpit at the biggest sinner. in the church, tho shot took effect, as several heads popped up from tho benches, and immediately popped down again, as if conscious of guilt. The prayer being ended, the preacher arose and said, "Dearly belub'd breddern, de first bisness befo' this meeting is a case of moral disturbitude. When I first came among you, like a lamb in de flock, I thought I had lighted in paradise, where all was beautiful and sublime. I didn't think such practices would go on" (more necks stretched and more heads elevated) "under de very roof of dis temple of goodliness. Bar de do', don't let no man out or woman either. That's right. To come to the point, without circumlocution, breddren, and you sisters, charges have been preferred against Brudder Johnsen, the leader ot the Wednesday class, of having wilfully, cardinally, and of his own free will, while Brudder Wilson were

kneeling in prayer, kissed Sister Mary Em

meline Green kissed her maliciously in the presence of de Jjord, and what s mo , in de presence of de entire class. or dat reason. Breddren, I have seen fit to depose Brudder Johnson from the head of de class. Excep tions was made to my ultimatum, and yon are called upon to decide. Brudder Johnson will retain his seat till he's asked to epcak. . Sit down, Mr. Johnson. Now Brudder Wilson, we'll hear from j-ou." "May it please de Lord," said the venerable Brother Wilson, "when Moses on de mount gib out the laws to the children of Israel, the last thing contained among does pieces of marble was, 'You shall not covet dc neighbor's wife nor any other of his processions. Now, bruddern, I hold that Sister Mary Emmeline Green am the wife of no man, nor is Brudder Johnson. Derefo', if do spirit of do Lord move him to print upon her cheek the kiss of grace and she don't object" "Dat'll do, Brudder Wilson. Sit down ! Do you hear? When a man of your venerable appearance git3 up to excuse sin, it's time for the roof to cave." Brother Phillips was then recognized by the Chair. "It's disgraceful," ho said, "dat such a thing happened. I ain't a member of de Wednesday clas, but I was present that night by invitation, an' I heard de smack clear across de room. Such a thing am demoralizing in the extremity. I move thht the course of de Chair be sustained. If we don't do dat, who's goin' to protect our daughters from the attacks of de presidious "Who wants to kiss dem molasses-colored gals o yourn?" interrupted a voice in the rear. Half a dozen members were on their feet at once and talking, or rather trying to talk, each other down. The minister rapped, but this and his oft-repeated cries of "Set down! Set down dere!" only added to the confusion. From the disjointed expressions of the now excited stewards it was evident that the ma jority of them sided with the accused, and one member got on a bench and tried frantically to read a protest from the V ednesday class, objecting to the dismissal of Brother Johnson. Some one touched him where the vest-pocket lies, and he doubled up on the floor. The reverend gentleman who presided watched the course of events, and, seeing that his side was in a large minority, he rose and announced the meeting adjouned, subject to call, in the following brief speech: "When bruddren undertake to dwell in unity and peace, this am not the way to do it. 1 perceive from the excited demonstrations wc have witnessed here that we are incapable of conducting this trial without acrimoniousness. You will meet again when you have cooled off. Let's sing de Doxology." llusbauds and Wives. John Ploughman. A good husband makes a good wife. Some men can neither do without wives nor with them; they are wretched alone in what is called tingle blessedness, and they make their homes miserable when they get married; they are like Tompkins' dog, which could not bear to be loose, and howled when it was tied up. Ilappy bachelors are likely to be happy husbands, and happy husband i3 the happiest of men. A well matched couple carry a joyful life between them, as the two spies carry the cluster of Eshcol. They are a brace of birds of Paradise. They multiply their joys by sharing them, and lessen their troubles by dividing them; this is fine arithmetic. The wagon of care rolls lightly along as they pull together, and when it drags a little heavily, or there's a hitch anywhere, they love each other all the more and so lighten the labor. "This is a nice time of night for you to be coming in, said a mother to her daughter, who returned from a walk at 10 o'clock. "When I was like you," continued she, "my mother would not allow me out later than 7 o'clock." "Oh, you ha4 a nice sort of a mother," murmured the girl. "I had, you young jade," said the mother, "a nicer mother than ever you had." SOCIETY DIRECTORY. Masonic. Gethsemane Commakpert. K. T., No. 9.
