Harper's Bazar.J "Will you to marry me?" Those were the words that,. coming from the veranda in a deep, rich voice and most tenderly impassioned tone, broke the capricious silence that had just then tallea for a moment on the - singing and the laughing of the lighted rooms within. . "Will you to marry me?" It was Ignacio Fenallosa's voice, and he was repeating a question tbat, under various disguises, he had asked ( C'hrystie perhaps a hundred times before. ' Ours was the prettiest, if not the busiest, little village in the world, with all ita embowering green close upon the sea, and its two great counting houses, to which belonged all the wharves and warehouses of the South American trade carried OD'there; and this was a joucg South American, who had come there, with, come other, In case of the consignees of the houses at home, for a mercantile and English education. He was probably progressing reasonably that is, we did not know whether he was or .pot, for we saw little of him when at length Ch rye tie came borne, not as wild as a hawfc, because she was, after &U, more like a dove, but a shy, startled, swift moving creature, with a cloud of hair just a shade more yellow than flaxen, with immense dark-lashed eyes that you took at first for black eyes, till you learned how dark the blue star-lit midnight sky ran be, and with a skin where the red rich came and went like a torch that the wind blows on, a tall, lithe, slender beauty, wayward as the weather, and born to have her will. Fenallosa was strolling by one September day as the sprang from the coach and ran up the crackling path, and threw her arms around John Allan, her brother in law, who came to meet her. The youth slopped deliberately and surveyed ths scene, then lifte 1 his stick and shook it at John and stroJe on. We heard afterward that he that night assembled the other young Spaniards, as they were called in the Tillage, and the rest of their comrades, and gave them to understand that if they choae to enter the race was free and fair, 'but there was to be no foolishness, since for bis part fee meant to carry the girl with corn-silk hair over seas with him and the priest's blessing; and be appeared next day with a taseel of corn silk from some late field in his button hole, arm as many days thereafter as tbere was any to be had. He did not wait for an introduction, but climbed the fence one sunset, and accosted her in the garden with such an air of adoration and reverence that she could not be offended; but as he could then only speak Spanish, and she could only speak English, all she could do was to retire with great dignity, at which be was by no means abashed, for that, he knew, was her proper course, and he considered that he had now made her acquaintance, and he followed it up. A few weeks later he was beard to complain to young Juan that he had learned all the English he-wished; he bad learned "So" and "Nevarre," and he was going home in the next brig. Unnecessary to say tbat the brig sailed without him. She sailed many times without him, indeed, but never without the transaction of a little high tragedy on his part previously, lie was leaning one spring day over the rail of the veranda, the lazy roller creeping underneath for our house was close upon the sea, built so by grandpa's wbim, the summer parlors almost and the veranda quite overhanging the deep water, the solid old stone foundations belonging once to a lighthouse tbat had been removed when the brig rolled out again with all Bail set. "Some day." said he to Chrystie, -"king back at her, "you will be sailing out inTher wl,n m' nd neTer come back." If Cbrysti'e nodaeJ, be. would b f" tent and biW asked ft 5? J sua shomu dono1th.in8 Unbecoming; but she thoot her head, -fi? ""J took it all for granted that dissent 6ii tief part seemed absolute rebellion, and then he snatched his hat and Stalled off without a word, and met ting Leon at the gate, pitched him clean over the fence and into the ditch. Of course a challenge was -the result; a duel was arranged, and I doubt not would have come off but lor notes that Hew from the naughty Chrystie to the combatants, in consequence of which, and in total ignorance that each note had been a counterpart of the other, they both appeared before her and bound themselves ever to keep the peace. Bat Leon was a fickle youth, and it did not much signify. As for Fenallosa, we rather wondered at Chrystie, for he was like nobody else in the world, and with an irresistible personal chsrm It seemed tons. Such eyes were never seen except under Spanish brows; the fine black hair lay in great locks on a forehead that had something infantile in shape and hue; but the rest of the face was of an unbroken bronze tint, except for the thin, curved lips, and the teeth, which made his laugh, the whole face breaking into dimnles. dazzling. If Chrystie were not in love with him, the rest of us barely escaped it John Allan in the . number. Of course, as soon as the danger of the duel was over, Chrystie look occasion to quarrel with Fenallosa's attention, and to tell him to visit us no more if he could not cease annoying. "We expected him to take her at her word; but it was only the next day that he stopped on horseback under the window, having teen here face framed there, and naving ridden un the garden path, as he told me on ber disappearing, to ask ber if "she had not changed her mind," for he never made the least secret of his suit, and seemed to feel that he had enlisted us all as bis auxiliaries because he had rights, and success was but his desert He really rode tip that day, though to display himself and his horse, for be rode like a young centaur; but it seemed tbat that was no way to win Chrystie. , She had quite a different ideal some little middle-aged, grief-worn hero, with iron gray hair, perhaps, who bad struck her fancy in a novel, but would have been fearfully uncomfortable in housekeeping, and she consequently regarded Fenallosa as a boy, than which nothing conld be more maddening to him, for he regarded himself rather as a king of old Bpain. "I have the blue blood!" Jie cried to me, who happened on that day to
be his confidante. "I ask her no beggar. It
is the blue blood of Castile. See!" And I presume we should have seen, had I .not snatched the penknife whose blade in another second would have pierced the white wrist. . "A knight of the round table." said John Allan. . "For all his nonsense, there is somethins of the Sir Galahad about him." When he came again I was crossing the lane myself, and at the ga'e we saw Chrystie, sitting on the roof of the veranda in the sun. and reeling some fine linen threads for her lace work. With ber fair hair and her color, ber work and the background of the sea be hind her, she certainly did look uncanny and like some lovely. witch; all the more as lust at that moment her voice began carroll ing: "Hark! bark! the lark!" sweet and BtroDg as the lark's itself, in all the ripples of melody running up and down -between Heaven's gate and the low nest in the corn held. Ftnallosa stopped and put his hands over his eyes. "Alas! alas!" he cried, Rso young, so beautiful, so sweet, so wicked! 0,uelastina!" "What do you mean?" I exclaimed. "Ah! you know you know" he answered, in so!emnity, turning and releasing the great eyes, "that of all the things the good God do hate, it is the unthankful heart, and that girl she have no thank, she have no heart, she is the ingratitude itself. The great God can do but hate her alas! hate Chrystie!" Of course I could only laugh at him, and so did Chrystie when he repeated it to her. "I hope you will never grow up, you foolish boy, and never learn English!" she cried, "for you will never be half so amusing asain.'' "What is that 'amusing?1 " he answered. "Is it to please you? Then I will not grow." He glanced up and down his shapely outlines, and looked down on her with a gay, pleased laugh. "Indeed. I can not," he said. "I am the six feet now. To be more, it would be absurd, and less Desdichado!" he cried, striding away, "she do' not care if I be sixand twenty!" But the idea of a stature of six and twenty feet so tickled him that in a moment more he waa laughing and beside her again. "Then I should not ask you. I should take you!" he said. "You learn the Spanish to-day?" he asked, changing his tone to one of most seducing sweetness; for, with all her coolness, Miss Chrystie was not neglecting so good an 'opportunity of increasing her vocabulary, and she took Spanish lessons frorn all the youths Fenallosa, Juan, Leon, Garcia, the first that came to book; and the lacework and reeling laid aside, the pretty sight was to be seen of that fair head and tbat dark head bending over the, page, Fenallosa's great eyes rising every now and then to dwell on her, while, if he thought no one saw, he would furtively lift a long stray lock of the yellow hair and hold It to his lips. One day, long before the corn came gain, be sauntered up the path with what looked like a tassel of corn silk, in his button hole again. "What have you there?" cried Chrystie, suddenly, as he appeared. "I have my colors," he answered; "my scarf, my lady's favor."' "Give it to me!" she cried in something like one of his own furies "Give it to me, or I will never speak to you again! How did you come by it?" '1 I took it," he answered humbly. ''One day as we read the Spanish:" and he handed it to ber, after he had taken it from his button bole and kissed it. "Ay derm!" he cried. "To worship, to adore and not to care! "And I suppose," said the heartless girl, "that you have been parading this everywhere making a fool of yourself and me " "Making a fool!'' he cried, clasping his bands. "Yes, you ridiculous boy. Do you sup pose it is my hair, that curl? Look at it I bought it. It is some prison girl's, for all I know." "Dios!" cried Fenallosa. "And vou did wear it?" The disgust on his face aulte outshone the wrath on hers, and it was a fortnight before he came near her again. In tbat fortnight I fancied Miss Chrystie did a little thinking; and we all studied a little Spanish more vigorously with Juan, who, alihotfgh of the ame age, Wfil comparatively the staid guardian of the others. Chrystie had been tinging a Spanish song with the guitar, Juan correcting her, and the rest of us were bending over the dictionary and grammars on the table, when, during a silence, a deep grave voice sounded: "1 should never come again, but you do sing the song so badly;" and we looked up to see Fenallosa's head in the window, as he surveyed Juan and Chrystie with tremendous displeasure. Presently he came in. "What are you going to do on the Fourth, Fenallosa?" asked John Allan, as he brought in a box of Roman candles from the express wagon. "What is it that the custom of the country is to do?" asked Fenallosa, for he had arrived last year just after that day. "Oh, burn powder." "And blow toot-hot ns." - " "And set towns ablaze with fire crackers." "And make every one wish there was no such thing as liberty." 'Towder! horns! It is a sacrilege. Wish for no liberty? You deserve not the day. It should be in the church, processions, Bowers, with prayers, with thanks. Powder, horns, fire crackers detestable!" "But the fireworks are beautiful, Fenal losa," said Chrystie. "When John sends up ( the rockets after dark from the roof, and showers of colored stars fall into the sett that showers of colored stars rise out of the deep to meet oh! that is beautiful!" "That is beautiful," said Fenallosa, all at once in a radiant humor. "I shall see to it. And I will play your Yankee Tootle on the ttot lorns; you r!)! me the instruction?" And so Chrystie played him the desired tune, he standing beside her and adding to her guitar strain according flourishes on the piano. "It is a qulckster, your rift tional tune. Your fast people do keep the time. But it suits not the guitar. One night, Chrystie, you shall lean from the balcony with me and to hear the band down on the plaza play the soft music very different nusic and the seas rolling other music in the harbor, mountain tops and south stars over us " "I do wish, Fenallosa," .murmured Chrystie. as he bent his ear to listen, "that if you will make love to me, you wouldn't make it before all the world." "What care I for the world?" he cried. "The universe is nothing then if you but to listen!" And he turned about and caught my hand and kissed it in a passion of delight, since he dared not kiss Cbrystie's, and he knew John Allan would not mind; for he saw here his first good omen. It was on the afternoon of the Fourth it self that Fenallosa appeared before us in deep mourning, clad in the blackest habiliments of woe from top to toe. I confess I thought it waa a part of his love making, and he was only testifying to the condition of his emotions or else that some revolution had turned up In South America that he was contrasting with our happy day of independence. But it was quite otherwise. The news bad just come of the loss of a great uncle, whom- be had never seen, but who bad left him a silver mine in the mountains, a troop of slaves, a coffee plantation, and a few other trials. "I khall go back one day now to manoeuvre, to manage my estate," he iaid, grandiloquently, "But not alone I go. Tbey an not mine; they are hers." And he felt more than ever assured that, after this, things must turnout as he wished, and surveyed himself arid the inky hue of his garments with ineffable satisfaction, while Chrystie brought him the iced lemonade with which he celebrated, and which he regarded with unfeigned contempt. Garcia and Leon were playing a duet on the piano as he came in. It is true that the music they played had never been written, but they had a bound volume of the Bazar opened on the rack before them, and appeared to be going through it philharmonically, their eyes fixed on the page and run
ning alone the lines, turning the leaf religiously when they reached the foot, nodding their heads to the time, going back for a f reah start or to play over some bar more to their mind, and jabbering together now and then without looking off concerning the fingering or the phrasing, and getting out of it all a not unpleasant ringing and clanging. As Fenalosa came in in his dark array, with tne shining new black hat in his hand, they glanced at each other quickly, but banged away, till, having made his compliments to the rest, he wheeled on them, and with one of his gestures, which even Leon and Garcia never thought of disobeying, brushed them from their seats, and adjusted himself in their place. "The profane," he said, looking up at me. I used to think that nobody ever looked exactly like him, so nobody ever played exactly like Fenallosa Flaying seemed to be ai natural to him as breathing, as natural as it is to any fish to wave bis fins in the water, and the keys always sang under his hands. Even Chrystie listened when Fenallosa played. "They conquered the wild creatures with the music in the old day," said he to me, as I leaned on the instrument. "I shall yet conquest of her," indicating Chrystie with his head. And there was a conscious power about him as the great chords rolled out. . . "Ah, Fenallosa," cried Chrystie, once when he tested ber, "why can't you always be the man that you are when you are playing, and not the boy that" "Chrystie," he said quietly, "'why can you not be the woman of dignity ihat dares to tell my fault, and not she girl I see when I
pass the window, dancing alone with her arms above her head and all her silver bangles ringing like the Aimee's bells? Kli? But the beautiful arms! The fair head " "There you go again," said Chrystie. To-day, as Fenallosa played, there was something very grand and solemn in his thoughts. One might fancy that he was up among the purple Blopes and silver peaks of the hills, at home with the work of death. By degrees, though, more and more sweetness stole, into the measure, with all sorts of hesitating turns and melancholy cadence; he bad forgotten himself and bis boyishness in the music But when it length he paused it was to see Cbrystie's eyes swimming in tears, and all the boy was uppermost again. "She is ice, but I melt her!" be cried, and immediately he began playing, with a total oblivion of dead unclesand living coffee estates, all sorts of gay dance tunes and the airs of sweet love songs, ending with a medley of national airs framed in a fanfaronade of trumpet calls, drum beats, and shrill cornet strains, for f enallosa was a master of music Then sud denly he arose, bowed to everybody, and darted for the hall and his hat, found the hat gone, ana in its place the light straw ruin that Garcia had left. You should have seen the transport of rase into which Fenallosa fell, and have beard the anathemas on the luckless heads ot his compatriots, the adjurations that they should want hats all their lives and have no heads to put them on, wbile the hat went spinnin to the ceiling, came down and was trample nnder foot until tbere was nothing left of it. "A nice prospect for a wife!" said I at his elbow. "A pretty husband, you!" He turned, laughing in an idstant, his white teeth glistening and his face full of color. "Why she not to pacify me?" he cried. And of course we all laughed with him, for the greater part of the time Fenallosa was as good as a play. But tbere was no hope for it; Fenallosa now would not stir out of the house till night. "It is indecorous," he said. "I am not to mock the memory of my uncle. Here I stay." And he was as good as his word, taking tea with us and conducting himself with the most charming dignity, evidently in a sense of the honor due the day. After da'tk, when we had sat for awhile on the veranda overhanging the sea, watching the great stars rise from the water, brother John and John Allan went up to the roof with the fireworks, and' Fenallosa followed; an increase of two or three other youths, Emily's lovers and Sue's, presently taking place, with the inevitable Spanish lads dying to play some fresh prank on Fenallosa. But Fenallosa shortly returned to us, and be and Chrystie leaned over the rail together to watch the colored lights in the wave breaking on the cliff below, and singing some refrain half under the breath together. Ju t as we are in the midst of our cries of admiration at the effect of the Bengal lights, I beard feet on the roof of the veranda overhead, a tittering and te-heeing, and directly down came a long pole with a huge bunch of firecrackers on the end, sputtering and fizzing and flaring, and exploding straight in the face of Fenallosa aad Chrystie, shedding sparks everywhere about us; and in another moment there was a blaze, a shriek, and Cbrystie's muslins were all in flames. There was one scream from every mouth: "Ob, she will burn -to death!" for the summer parlors had neither rug nor curtain, and tbere was nothing to smother the blaze. But before the words were well uttered a sheet of fire went hurling through the air. "Fear not," cried Fanallosa, "I too, die." And we saw that he had caught her in his arms amf bad leaped into the sea. "Hurry! hurry!" I shrieked. "He can't swim! he can't swim! Oh, you have killed them both!" But while I was exclaiming a dozen long legs were scfumbling down to the beach, the boats were out, and before long for be bad come to the top again, and although he could not swim he could keep afloat Fenallosa and Chrystie were pulled in, safe and alive, but both of them badly scorched, and what was left of Cbrystie's muslins one black and dripping rag. But we wrapped her in the cloak with which I bad run down, and by the next evening her injuries were Dot apparent, except for the weairtefcj from the shock she had sustained. Ktnalossa had been at the door at sunrise and at neon, andfet twilight he came again, and now be sat beei Je Chrystie as she lay on the cool wicker sofa on the veranda, half covered with the rlowers that the deeply repentant yonng scampi had heaped upon her. It was from there, as the evening darkened, that the words of which 1 told you came in on that tenderly impassioned tone: "Will you to marry me?" 4Ah, me povrecita, amiguita Chrystie mia!' " At which I hastened to make a racket of any sort. When, by-and-by, I went out on the veranda, Chrystie looked up and said, shyly, "Laura, dear, I am engaged to Fenallosa; that is, I am engsged for a month for just a month, you know." "A month!" I cried, in amazement' "A month. By that time, you know, he Will be-" "I shall be marrr in just tree weeks?", cried Fenallosa. "Your Fourth was my day of independence." And marry in three weeks he did. How Men Otu Uve mt Great Heights. There has been an interesting correspondence in the London Times as to the degree of comfort with which men can live at grat heights. Mr. Webber, writing from the Grindelwald in Switzerland to Monday's Times, states that in Thibetiie has lived for months together at a height of more than 15.000 feet above the level of the tea, and that the result was as follows: His pulse at normal heights only 63 per minute, seldom fell below 100 per minute during the whole time he was at tbat leveL His respirations were often twice as numerous in the minu'e as tbey are at ordinary levels. A run of 100 yards would quicken both pulse and respiration more than a run of 1,000 yards at the sea level, and the higher the level, the greater the difficulty of walking or running fast. He crossed the shoulder of the Gurla Mandhata at a height of some 20,000 feet, and found the greatest difficulty in getting his breath - quickly enough, had frequent and violent headaches, and found that his native guides and companions suffered much more even than he did. Clearly, the physical constitution of man has not been naturally selected so as to admit of great variations in the altitude of his dwelling place,
AGRICULTURAL.
Chicago elevators now contain 5,318,329 bushels of grain a very large quantity for this time of the year and stocks are accumulating rapidly, about 30 per cent of the above named quantity being added during last week. Oat meal tea is an excellent drink for the harvest field. Put about fifteen tablespoonfuls of meal into a gallon jug, adding some salt Fill up with boiling water, stirring briskly. Then let it stand in a cool place until needed. ' At the annual meetins of the agricultural convention of Georgia last (week the president's address, in referring to the present drawbacks to farming in that state, cited as a means for counteracting them the extension of popular education. Entomologists describe only four varieties of insects parasitic upon the bodies of hens, not including the mites of the chicken house. Our correspondent, Mr. Hales, has sketched twelve additional varieties. He thinks there are others vet . The annual grain fair of Austao-Hungary opened on August 29. It is calculated that the whole empire will be able to export from 12.000.000 to 13,000,000 of quintals of wheat 2.500,000 of rye, 4,000,000 oi barley, and 2.600,000 to 3,000,000 of oats. The Michigan Farmer, whose opinion in such matters is entitled to much weight anticipates tbat there will be a general drop in the price of wheat from this time till the income of the crop, when it will nrobablv fettle down to the lowest figures known here since 1853. ' Pickled Chicken. Boil three chickens until the-meat will fall from the bones; remove the meat as whole as possible and put into a stone Jar; add to a pint of the water in which they were boiled enough vinegar to cover the meat; season with cloves, allspice, pepper and salt and pour hot over the chicken. What eats the Colorado potato beetleCrows, quails, rose breasted grosbeaks, ducks, chickens, Guinea fowls, skunks, toads, blacksnakes, grand daddy long legs, yellow mites, lady birds, rust red social wasps, tiger beetles, ground beetles, soldier bugs, tacbina flies, asilus flies. Cut this out and post it where you can always see it, and don't destroy any such friends, for they destroy many other insects as well. Twenty-five years ago seven-eighths of the cigars smoked in this country were of foreign manufacture. Out of the two thousand millions of cigars we now smoke, but fifty-five millions are of foreign manufacture. We not only smoke cigars made here, but they are mainly made from American grown tobacco. Who grows this cigar tobacco? Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. St. Faul, Minn: The Pioneer Tress edi torlally estimates the aggregate wheat crop of the state at 25,000,000 bushels: acreage, 2.225,001; average yield per acre, 11 bushels. Below a line due west from St Paul the yield is probably ten bushels per acre. This region furnishes three-fourths of the crop. Above this line the yield is estimated at 15 bushels per acre. Bloomington Progress: Redick M. Wylie brought to this office on Saturday last a box of bis Fultz wheat, of which he this season raised four acres. The yield was 29 bushels per acre. The gram is round and plump, though not large, and of an amber color, and the weight is about C2 pounds to the bushel. Mr. Wylie has been experimenting with the Tennessee and Fultz wheat but finds tbat the Tennessee is almost always ravaged by the fly, while the Fultz is entirely free from it. The Fultz should be generally sown. A Chicago honey dealer has constructed a floating bee house large enough to accommodate two thousand hives. This he is towing up the Mississippi river, from Louisiana -to Minnesota, keeping pace with the blossoming of the flowers, thus stimulating the honey making ability of his bees. In his return trip he designs to take advantage of the autumnal flowers at each point just as he does of spring in going up the river. This plan of moving bees to get the benefit of fresh flowers has been tried in some parts of Europe. "The farmer who will carefully consult the catalogue of seed merchants and nurserymen, look for markets near home, and keep his wits as busy as the successful manufacturer must do," says the New York - Herald, "will find in the long run that the most money does not come from the most popular ciops or the greatest number of acres under cultivation." That is true; but it is not the seedsman's catilogue that is going to tell him what crop there will be an extra demand for. That gives the list; the farmer must Judjre for himself. Western butter, apart from the "creamery," takes a low rank in the Eastern markets, and judging of what is sent out by the other western states, from what we know of what goes, and how it goes, from Michigan, it is not to be wondered at. At present butter bring) ten cents per pound in Lansing, and is correspondingly low all over the state, not excepting in Detroit One would think this price would cause makers to hold on to it; but in the main, it does not Butter is at present a drug in the market the east having a tendency to keep it no. ANI IDLENESS. Reform I lucratively Demanded. Brooklyn Eagle.l Any ordinary observer of passing events must have bad his attention called to the fact tbat tbere is an exceedidgly numerous class of women and girls in this country and particularly in the larger cities who have nothing to do and exhibit no desire to be useful. They are everywhere to be seen, and when not seen are to be real about for there is an ungovernable desire on the part of this class to figure in the newspapers. Tbey are for the most part persons who have had nothing to do in the past and from whom nothing is to be expected in the future. They are decent, perhaps, out only so because respectability has been secured to them by the protection of others parents, perhaps, or sisters or brothers, in whose homes they have lived. They leave these.and the road to ruin is a straight line before them.- Lately there have been numerous cases of this class before the public and the encouragement they receive guarantees a continuation of the infliction. The sin of idleness ts sapping the virtue of American women, of the poorer class particularly, and the victims who are earliest lost are those who can not escape poverty without labor, and who will not work while tbere is a chance of avoiding it Tbey read of the success of fair woman and beautiful maids in other walks of life, and the dime novel furnishes them with sufficient knowledge of the world to think that if tbey could get away from their present abodes and find a more appreciative audience slse where they would flourish. American women of this c.ass are brought up with the idea that they can fill a higner place than they occupy, and whenever they see the way to live without work they follow it The trouble lies bsck of themselves, and, to a certain extent is due to the neglect of their parents in early life for work. But their own weakness is apparent in their refusal to recognize the fact that whatever the shortcomings of those who had the care of their youth that to-day they alone are responsible for the disposition which they make of themselves. Fathers and mothers shirk their duty every day, and leave the community to suffer from their faults. Instead of bringing up their sons and daughters to honest and well defined employment they let them grow in idleness or work in a desultory way, which is of no benefit to them. The mechanic does not train Lis children to work as he does; neither would he be induced to peril his daughters' future prospects by forcing them to go day by day to learn a
trade which would render them Independent at last. The harm, of idleness they do not realize; It is the charm of leisure that they see, and misjudge its benefits. . It is not the idler but the worker who enjoys rest, and the father, driven like a cart horse from year to year, looking upon leisure as a boon, forgeta that his children can not comprehend his feelings, never having known his efp-nence. The reformatories and other halfway houses on the road to perdition are frequented by girls and women who grew up in idleness and whose empty, vulgar minds are employed in devising escape from toil, rather than learning the way to employ themselves. There is no class of people in the world who so much stands in need of discipline as the average woman who reads low toned literature and anticipates support through marriage. At present her main duty is to rest on her oars while she may, and when the rest is tiresome to find excitement Every year hundreds of decent girls are loet throagh their own indifference, in the vile dens that abound In large cities. They go to them from homes which they have grown tired of, and expect to meet with the recognition their vanity tells them they should have. They speedily end their bitter lives, either because ,of the hard necessities of their condition or else through the weakness of their own characters. Whatever the causa, they are lost and their r, laces are filled by new recruits bent on the tame course. It is nearly always the rule.that from the ranks of the worthy poor are recruited the inmates of houses of infamy, and quite as generally the fact that the women and girls who enter upon this kind of a life go to it not from inclination, but from the disinclination to try to do anything better. It should not be so, but nothing save a miracle will rescue the women to day who from lives of idleness and poverty are stepping out upon this high road. lhelr rescue must come from their own effort, and it could be secured in this way, but they will not make it, and so they join the army of the lost and society suffers from the sacrifice. Society ought to reform this by creating a public feeling against the idle among women, particularly by protesting against the rearing of children to careers of idleness, whose only hope of a future is in marriage, and who, failing to reach it become in one form or another a tax upon the world always, and sometimes a cruel curse.
