Manner is one ot the grandest engines of influence ever given to man. A good resolution . may come like a flash, but it takes a year to keep it. Flattery is a false coin which has circulation only through our vanity. Hidden virture is often despised, inasmuch as nothing extols it in our eyes. Conscience is the voice of the soul; th passions are the voice of the body. The veil which covers the hand of futurity is woven by the hand of mercy. lien seldom improve when they have no other models than themselves to copy after. You can not dream yourselves into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. Modesty is to worth what shadows are in a painting; she gives to it strength and relief. The preservation of life should be only a secondary concern; the direction of it our principal. . It is easy to run down the accomplishments of your neighbor, but harder to run ahead of them. A conscience is like a corner lot. Everybody would like to have it, but few are willing to pay the price. Energy will do anything that can be done in the world; and no talent, no circumstances, no opportunities, will make a two-legged animal a man without it. The man who acts on impulse will find himself when near the goal jut three paces behind the man who acts on conviction. "We are sewing seeds of truth or error, of dishonesty or integrity, every day we live and everywhere we go, that will take root in somebody's life. Our system of thought is often only the history of our heart. Men do not will so much according to their reason, as reason according to their will. The man who at the end of this life has a receipt in full of all demands from men will have more than an ordinary amount of credit to begin the next life with. Men say they can leave off this habit or that any time they bring to bear the pressure of their will against it; but would it not be better to apply force against the formation ot bad habits? Good intentions are at least the seed of good actions; and every man ought to sow them, and leave it to the soil and seasons whether they came up or -not, or whether he or any other gathers the fruit. Counterfeiting coin never succeeds in spoiling the character of gold; it only compels one to ring every piece on the counter. tio pretense never harms religion; it only makes a man a little more watchful. "We will not accomplish much withoutzeal and enterprise. But the mistake is often made of supposing that zeal is hurry, rush, recklessness and inditfeience. It is not so; steady momentum is often more effective than unrestrained vigor. Nature seems to exist for the excellent. The world is upheld by the veracity of good men; they make the earth wholesome. Life is sweet and tolerable in our belief in such society; and actually or ideally we manage to live without superiors. No man has a right to complain of his lot or of the times, or to call upon society to help him, until he has done all he can to help himelf by industry and fidelity in the place and calling where he is. And he who does this will seldom have cause to complain The world needs discretion as much as zeal, and although tbe latter generally usurps all the honors and glories ol heroism, the former does a great deal the mo.t towards carrying on the daily affairs of mx-iety and states. Zeal, tempered and guided by discretion, or discretion, warmed and energized by zeal, is the true temperament for safe and successful conduct. Harry J. ttaymond. There is a great deal of religion which it would never do to incubate people with, because it hasn't strength enough to "take." It is the kind that is always ready to teach others what to do, but never has time to follow its own teaching. It is not a 100-cents-on-the dollar religion, with its books all open for inspection, but a kind of 10 cent-to thedollar affair, which is teetotal on the platform and then takes a private "nightcap" when the public is not peeping through the window. The only religion which is worth the having is well described by a colored philosopher, who once said: "A half a ton ob coal, dumped right in front ob a poor man's door, will tend to gib him more 'couragement dan a mile an a half ob promises .dat ha a worm in de bud an nebber comes to apples.'" The Romance of Old Age. Llj'plncott'i Magazine. Generally the process of a late blooming love partaae of many natures, and it as much the outcome of circumstances tu it is the crown of a full and ripe consciousness of a man's whole development . at it highest point of perfection, Still no matUr how

much alloy there may be in the feeling which alone deserves the tame of love, its expression grows more beautiful and more suggestive as the individuals under its influence grow older. The sorrow it brings are mote sacred and more venerable when they assail persons in advanced life. The intensity of silent, dignified, unselfish grief which a husband of 50 feels at the loss of his life companion has tenfold the strength of the passionate sorrow of a young bride groom bereaved of his bride. The feelings of a father losing his grown son are tenderer and deeper than the agony of a young mother losing her firstborn in its infancy. Time iUelf is an elementof grandeur when connected with grief or love the network of pathetic thoughts and associations which it weaves around the heart is ennobling and sanctifying. Of all things that are beautiful in sentiment, full of tender suggestiveness, and alive with real poetry, none can compare with common things. The rose-wreaths on a coffin are prosaic compared with the forgotten thimble and needle left in the sewing on the little stand in the accustomed corner. The living will not weep when they hear the service read over their dead, but the sight of the last shoos the dead had worn, the mark left in the book last read together, the rattle the child used, the broom the wife handled anything, mean, tawdry, 6oiled it may be, that has a familiar association will break the heart of the one left behind if he chance to let his glance fall upon it. The samy magic that lends poetry to such things dignifies and illumines other details of homeliness, old age, awkward manners, rooted customs and formalities, and such barriers to what is popularly known as romance. I know nothing more charming than real love in middle age, with its timidities and delicacies blooming like spring Cowers on the face of a rock.

Something New. The Rocky Mountain News thus tells of pretty girls for sale at a church fair, and how a miserly beau lost a great beauty: It has grown into a fashionable custom of late to have a mock auction sale of the prettiest girls at church festivals. It tends to increase the resources of the church, and at the same time very clearly demonstrates in which way the affections of youth are bent. For it is reasonable to suppose that no ambitious young man will permit his sweetheart to be knocked down to a rival until he has expended his last cent in the effort to become the fortunate purchaser. Acting upon this idea a fashionable church in Denver is preparing for a festival, in which the auction business is to form a prominent feature. It has put the young ladies in quite a flutter of excitement and unhappily at this early stage of the novelty for, however common in the East, it is a novelty here has come very near wrecking the future happin-iss of two estimable young creatures. The facts in the cae are theae: A young gentleman who confesses to an amiable weakness for one of the young ladies who is to be disposed of on the occasion referred to, called on his dulcinea a few evenings since, and very naturally the subject of tbe festival came up. "I'm to be sold, Charley did you know it?'' exclaimed the enchantress. "No! are you, though? I suppose I shall have to buy you." "Of course. Jiut bow much do you reckon I will sell for?" This was a naive inquiry, but it led to a moment of brief but sagacious speculation. If he had any rival the girl was likely to go hiirh. if be didn't have any it would appear as if ho was investing in an exceedingly cheap article. '1 dont know.' Abe worus were long drawn out, and his face was grave. "I suppose a dollar or two!" . . . . .i i i If he had reflected a moment longer ne never would have made this observation. It was born, however, of a sense of economy, and he had no idea of what it would lead to. Jiut as the words fell from his lips he looked at his itamorata and caught the flash of indignant blue eyes, which made his heart sink. "One or two dollars, indeed! I'll sell for 50 at the very lowest:' "I can't buy you, then." Sir." and tbe lady's face was rigid with amazement. "That is I- mean to say counfound it Maria, I can't spare that much money," and the poor fellow looked appealingly at the divinity which was about to shape the end of his purse. But the disaster Lad come. The young lady rose from her seat like a queen, and with the cruel remark that a gentleman who thought so much of $50 was not a suitaable person to encourage as a lover, sailed majestically from the room. And now that voung man's soul is convulsed with anguish, and his remarks upon church festivals are frightful to contemplate. A Life' Love.

A MEXICAN ROMANCE.

Fortune! of ft Eapnted Lunatio-The Bomantio Career of a German Physician. After Acquiring Wealth In Mexico, II Asks Deliverance From the Asylum In Which the Alleged Avarice of III Relation Rat Coneigne! Him. Philadelphia New. A somewhat remarkable case of alleged lunacy was brought out in the course of depositions taken before a notary public here recently. Dr. August Schultz, the patient in question, is 41 years old. He can claim to be a cosmopolite. Born in Germany, he was educated in Paris, and after years spent in walking the most renowned hospital of the continent he carried his medical diploma to the city of Mexico, and settled down for lifepractice there. Iiis attainments speedily earned him lucrative practice and the fame of being one of the most successful physicians in the Southern Republic. lie found the people of that revolutionary clime in one of their chronic eruptions, but contrived to cape all such complications by sticking strictly to medical practice. Surprising cures, as th'ey were regarded then, gave him eminence in his profession. The fact that be was a Frenchman to all intents and purposes gave him high influence among the Imperialists, who blossomed into national majority after the invading army of Marshal Bazaine had occupied the country. lie waä made a member of the Prussian legation at the City of Mexico, Baron Wagner representing the North Germans there. Although he held no position in the army of the republic or of the empire, he was installed as the private physician of the imperial court and of most of the high French officers' families, including that of Marshal Bazaine. lie found his time fully occupied by professional duties daring all the time that the French army occupied Mexico, and when the order for evacuation came he found himself so well provided with money that he determined to spend a year or two in foreign travel, lie sailed from Vera Cruz only a day before the embarkation of the French army.and was in France when the Emperor Maximilian met a soldier's fate. Desiring to return to Mexico be visited this country as a half-way stopping place, and spent several months in our Eaetern cities. On his resettlement in Mexico he found no difficulty in reacquiring practice. One of his first patients was the Marquis of Guadalupe a representative of Iturbide Imperialism and the head of one of the wealthiest and proudest of the old .Mexican bhe-blood families. The old nobleman was ill of a disease which had baffled the skill of other mediciners, and Dr. Schultz was called in. He wrought a complete cure and established himself firmly in the good graces of the old nobleman. Soon afterward the pretty daughter of the mar3uis was taken very ill, and Dr. Schultz again emonstrated his superior skill. That cure proved the source of the doctor's ills, for the pretty senorita gave unmistakable evidence of partiality to her healer, and he was not slow to avail himself of the improvement in his fortunes which alliance with her family promised. The male decendant of th marquis consulted of two ons, who bad earned considerable celebrity a. gamblers and fast young men, who scrupled at noth ing. They did not oppose tbe marriage; on the contrary, they promoted it as promising them requires for their dissipation. The marquis bad large estates in several Mexican States. So great was his confidence in his son-in-law that on the marriage of the senorita all the estates were divided among the brothers and sister. Madame Schultz bocame possessed of haciendas in Leon and in Agnes Calientas.at which the newly-married couple made arrangements to spend most of their time. All went well until Dr. Schultz awoke to the conviction that he was the husband of an extremely jealous woman, of great capacity for making her jealous conceits heard, and the brother-in-law of two young bloods, v ho were able borrowers of cash. Dr. Schultz's practice increased apace, and in spite of the drain in loans to his wife's relative he accumulated wealth. lie established a hacienda and breeding farm near the city, which came to be regarded as one of the local places of interest by reason of the completeness of its appointments. His wife was a woman of high social ambition and she seconded his taste for a liberal hospitality. The trouble was that the merest compliment which he address to another woman became a' terrible indictment against him at her deliverance She contrived to make his home so unhappy that after the birth of their third child he suggested and she agreed to a separation. VICTIM OF BROTHERS-IX-LAW. The brothers-in-law meanwhile had contrived to become his debtors in nearly $40,000. They would not pay and he sued. The court awarded his full claims, and judgment was satisfied by mortgages upon the estates which each owned near the city. It was at this time that the hostility of the family culminated. Mrs. Schultz had gone back to her father's house, where the doctor visited her occasionally. Iiis troubles had subjected him to alcoholic temptation. lie refurnished his hacienda and restocked his stables. Iiis property by this time was valued at $100,000. harly last summer ho was surprised by what is known in Mexican law as a writ of prohibition. Thus enjoined him from managing his own estate, and gave it into the hands of his wife as trustoo or tutrix. The writ was based upon an alleged infirmity ot mind. The Issue was tried, the doctor says, before a packed commission. Able and impartial pby. sicians wert challenged and excused until such were obtained as would serve the pur poses of his prosecutors. The only testimony, as he claims, which they brought in support of the alleged lunacy, wont to show that he had bought furniture for his hacienda that was not tasteful, and that he kept 80 horses and mares for breeding purposes. The result was that the writ was ustaind, and hia wife was appointed his guardian. The doctor at this time was residing at the hacienda in Aguas Calientas, about 100 leagues from the City of 3Icxico. His custom was to visit bis wife at 1ea."t once a month at the hacienda in Leon. Mrs. Schultz was in very delicate health from pulmonary difficulty, and, despite their bad terms, her husband continued to prescribe for her. Ue sent her on one occasion wine, which was not fully fermented, as a proper tonic for her. The cloudiness of the wine excited her suspicion, and, although it was easily accounted tor and nothing deleterious found in it by analytia, Mrs. Schultz can not be persuaded thai be did sot design to poison her. The police took charge of

him and for two days he was a prisoner in his own hacienda. About this time it dawned upon Dr. Schultz that he could Lope for no legal redress in opposition to the wishes of his wife's family, and that the best thing he could do was te return to France, where his mother and sisters reside. lie wrote to his wife, expressing this desire, and in reply received word that she would see him at a certain place. He went to the place appointed and found a man who handed him a note from his wife, in which she consented to have,him return to France, and reoommneded the person who handed him the missive as one in whom he could repose entire confidence. She said, moreover, that she had intrusted that individual with a draft for 13.000 on Mailand, Phelps & Co., New York, which would be cashed for his benefit as soon u they landed in that city. They accordingly took passage on the first steamer for New ork. Presenting the draft to Maitland, Phelps & Co., he was surprise! at the information that he could get the money only by going to Philadelphia. His guardian accompanied him hither, and they stopped at tho Continental Hotel.They called upon the Mexican consul, who treated him very cordially, never hinting at any ulterior designs. The second day Dr. Schultz was invited to take a ride in tbe consul's l&ndeau. Their carriage stopped at the Pennsylvania Asylum for tbe In&ano. He supposed that it was the banking house in which his letter of credit would be cashed. It was a strange lookiag bank, but that he ascribed to the peculiarities of the country. He turned to look for Martinez Compos, who had accompanied him from Mexico, but found that he and Consul Cabada were both gone. A tall, portly gentleman approached, and Dr. Schultz selected him as the probable banker and presented his letter of credit. "iou'11 stay with us a day or two," said that gentleman, who proved to be Dr. Jones, superintendent of the male department of the asylum. Dr. Sbcitz has stayed there ever since, and his call was Made early in August Ignorant of the language and the laws, he did not know which way to turn to secure his liberty, and there is no Bajing bow long he would have remained in his uncertainty if outride sympathy had not been aroused in his behalf. "Friends in M exico wrote to Robert S. Menamin, of this city, informing him of their belief in Dr. Sciiultz's sanity and asking him to exert himself to procure bis liberation. This was supplemented by letters from Sobultz's sirter in Paris, and Mr. Menamin went Uwork with energy. A FRIED ENU&TET. Calling at the hospital, he had a long interview with Dr. Schultz, who, as far as could be detected, by his lay hearer, was as sane as anybody. He b,ad no complaint to make of his treatment. On the contrary, he said that nothing that could contribute to his comfort was left undone. He was permitted to visit the theaters and art rooms, accompanied by a guardian. All this, however, weighed as nothing in comparison with the restraint of hi liberty and the imputation upon his mental "ouiidnes. Mr. Menamin became satis tiod that Schultz was not then insane, even if he had hvn befor. Conversing with Dr. .lone-, he f uind that official asserted the insanity of the paliont and referred to an examination by Dr. Ray and his son, in which they prcfiLiai.-ed him insane. The alleged inflrtuitv of mind was attribute.! to incipient soften') ns oi tueurain. He admitted that the mental aberration was perceptibleonly to experts, but was of opinion that his further resi dence in the Asylum would prove beneficial to bun. The Mexican consul was next appealed to, but he was inclined to repose upon the lunacy proceedings in Mexico, and would not act. The agitation, however, indicated to those who are interested in the further detention of Dr. Schultz, that they bad better surround his detention with more legal formality. Application was made to Judge Fell for a lunacy commission, and one session was held. It was thought desirable that, inasmuch as Dr. Schultz's estate was paving for proving him a lunatic, it would be no more than fair to have it charged with counsel fees to defend bis mental condition. Judge Fell took this view of the case, and Mr. S. Edwin Megargee was appointed his counsel. After repeated interviews with his client, Mr. Mecargee lat'ame convinced, not only of his insanity, but of the remarkable shrewdness and ability of the alleged lunatic. The lawyers began proceedings by a rule to quash the commission in lunacy, and that question is down for "argument before Judge Fell to-day. Despositions for and against the will were taken before notary John I. Hogers vest r day. Dr. Schultz himself came, in charge of an attendant. He looked like an intelligent, well-balanced, well-dressed gentleman, and. despite his ignorance of English, and the lack of an interpreter, told his story, as related above, with the moderation and lack of excitement of a man who knew what he was about.

When I became older and learned by experience how necerary it waa to be employed, I never for one moment doubted that these intellects of ours were intendod to work on forever in the glorious beyond."

THE HUMBLE PEANUT.

Xawr In IV. TU R.f.1i m Mint a I ta TT I V in the Items or Commerce A Crop of 1,000,000 Bushels. Norfolk (Ya.) Correepondence'PbJUdelpbla Tizaes. An interesting item recently went the rounds of the papers giving a statement of the enormous trade in peanuts those cheap little things eo toothsome to the groundling. A great many people in the North fancy that peanuts grow on vines, and that they are all alike although they can not understand why it is that street venders can sell what they consider the same article for less money than they can be bought for in stores. Peanuts do grow upon vines, but, like the Irishman's, vineyard, the fruit is under the ground. They are not all alike, and the nuts that are peddled around variety show s and third-class theaters at a low price, are not tho proper article to be cround to Dowdcr bv the ivories of the truly good. The peanut section of lrginia, where the beet and most delicious nuts are raised, is comprised in the following counties: Southampton.Surry.Prince George, v tuiaemonu, o us sex ana isieoi vv lgnt, witn th rop extending of late years along the historic peninsular. The farmers of Princess Anne and Norfolk counties are at present paying particular attention to that crop, while over the border, in North Carolina, the county of Currituck, celebrated for its canvas-back ducks, wild geese, snipe and swans, wun iu nn ana nsmng, is also celebrated for its peanuts. But Nansemond and Iole .of "Wight counties, in old Virginia, boar of the palm for raiding the finest peanuts in the Union, their flavor, size and quality being far superior to all others. 1 he crop year begins about October 1, and ends in the following September. It is esti mated oy competent judges that the crop of last year reached 900,000 bushels, of which amount Norfolk handled 600,000 bushels. The prices averaged $1 per bushel, which makes a big item for such an insignificant thing as a peanut. The State of Virginia alone will raise over 1,000,000 bushels this year, and Currituck, N. C., will send her usu al quota, thas filling up the storehouses and lactones of this citv to their utmost capacity. It is stated on good authority that one acre of ground will yield from CO to 100 bushels of peanuts, which pay the farmer as much, if not more, than he can realize from any other crop. alking aroun J this city a few davs ago. your correspondent by accident entered a large peanut factory on ater street, and saw so many nuts m bairs and out or baes that the idea suggested itself at once that some Connecticut "Yank" bad invented a wooden peanut. The modus operandi by which the nuts are separated, cleansed and classed is somewhat as follows: The third story of the buildine contains thousands of bushels of peas in bags, and there the continual roll of the machinery is deafening. Each machine has a duty to perform. First, there is a large cylinder in which all the auts are placed in order that the dust may be shaken off of them. They pass from this cylinder into the brushes, where every nut receives 16 feet of a brushing before it becomes free. Then they pass through a sluice-way to the floor below where they are dropped on an endless belt, about two and a half feet in width, and Eassing along at the rate of four miles an our. On each side of the belt stand eight colored girls, and as the nuts fall from the lUii; on to tne oeiv tne girls, with a quick motion ef the hand, pick out all the poorlooking nuts, and by the time the belt reaches the end two-thirds ot the nuts are picked off, allowing only tbe finest to pass the crucible. Tkose that do pass drop through another sluice and empty into baj8 on the floor below. "When the bag is filled it is taken away by hand, sewed up and branded as "cocks," with th figure of a rooster prominent on its sides. The peas caught up by the girls are thrown to one side, placed in bags and carried into another room, where they are again picked over, the best singled out, bagged and branded as "ships." These are as fine a nut as the first for eating, but in shape and color do not compare with the "cocks." Having gone over them twice, we now come to a third grade, which are called and branded as "eagles." These are picked out of the cullings of the "cocks" and "ships." but now and then you will find a respectable looking nut among them, though the eyes of the colored damsels are as keen as a hawk's, and a bad nut is rarely allowed to pas their hands. The cullings that are left from the "eagles" are bagged,sent through the elevator to the top story, and what little meat is in them is shaken out by a patent sheller, which is not only novel but as perfect a piece of machinery as wa3 ever invented. The nuts being shelled by this new process, the meat drops into bags below, free from dust and dirt of any kind, and are then are shipped in 200 pound sacks to the North, where they aro bought up by the confectioners for the purpose of making taffy or peanut candy. It may bo here fctatod that a peculiar kind of oil is extracted from the meat of the nut, and in this specialty a large trade is done among the wholesale druggists. There is nothing wasted, for even the shells are made useful. They are packed in sacks and sold to stable-keepers for horse-bedding, and a very healthy bed they make. A day's work is about 3,000 bushels" which includes the labor of cleaning, picking and packing for shipment. From all this it can bo readily seen why the prices of peanuts vary so much and why it is that the huckster going round with his wagon can sell cheaper than the stores; for he sells the "eagles" while the shopkeepers sell tboe of a higher grade. "The Lord's Tot." Brooklyn Eagle. A few years ago a poor but God-fearing clergymanwent to the town of Bismarck, a frontier village in the wilds of Dakota, and announced his intention of establishing a branch Vineyard. There were no Christians there, and for a time he did well. His meetings were held in a faro bank, and the subscriptions were paid in faro chrcks, which he "cashed in" solemnly, and employed the proceeds toward the establishment of a church in a log shanty. Another minister, equally poor, but also God-fearing, went out there, and the mggod frontiersmen, appreciating the business value of competition, started him in good shape, and ne too was soon flourishing. A rule was established at the various gambling saloons that any man winning $20 should give one to the Cause, and he dropped a red check into a bole in the t&ble called, reverentiallv. the "Lord's Pot." "pot" being the vernacular for "pile." But it came to pass that these clergymen disagreed on some theological point, and did revile each other, not only in the pulpit, but on the highways and in the waste places, whereat the gamblers marveled and grew wroth. It was finally proposed that the minirtert play a game of seven-up, in settle

ment of their difficulties, but this not meeting with their favor, the gamblers repealed the charitable act, therefere, in solemn council enacted, and pieces of tin were nailed over the holes, reverentially designated the "Lord's Pot." . And lo! the clouds broke awav: the dismiterl thpolno-ipal Tv-i nf trei eat.

A Cannibal Witch In India. Spectator. One of the most interesting passages in Mr. Bell's "Jungle Life in India'' is that which treats of certain witches, or enchanters. The L 1 T I. 1 , f 1-117 . killing of persons of this profession, on pain of death to the executioner. Nevertheless, a number of cattle having disappeared in a certain village, it was opined that they had been destroyed by the blick art, and incantations were resorted to for the discovery of the offender. The lot fell upon an elderly female, who, on being charged with the crime, calmly and unhesitatingly confessed that she had devoured the animals in question. The owner of the latter, however, generously consented to forgive her; here the matter should have ended. But shortlv afterward the son of this same merciful personage died, and the witch proved to have had stomach for him likewise, though she was conscientious enough to add that she had been assisted at the feast by two other ladies, whose names she mentioned. The latter made no bones about admitting tbeir complicity, and the injured father and cattle-owner then informed them he should really be compelled to cut off their heads an action which he accordingly performed, the ladies offering no expostulation or resistance whatever. This phase of the episode having been thus finished, to the apparent satisfaction of all concerned, the avenger placed himself in the hands of the .English authorities, who, as in duty bound, relieved him of his existence. There is something very tender and touching in the sorrow of a true mother, whatever the language in wiuch it expresses itself. A good old "aunty," who had lost her youngest child, pours out her soul in a lament to which many a white mother's heart will respond in sympathy. She says: Yob e beis so little, sor, be'll miss his mammy so An' Uebben's such a great big place, be won't know wbar to go. I thought if I conld die to-day it wouldn't be too la'e.

Troy Times. "Woman, woman, what crimes are committed because of thy fascinations! Ilere are three of the latest: Bocert, the New York "Produce Exchange defaulter, took hisfe in a house of doubtful character, the proprietor of which claimed to be an old friend of his. J.

An unmarried and emotional reporter of the Kansas City (Mo.)

It was the calm, holy, ecstatic outbreaking of two fond and trusting hearts, an intermingling of two gentle souls sanctified by love, a communion of the intangible by tangible means, a blendin? of earth with Heaven, in which the latter had a decided preponderance.
