PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

CLERO YUEN'S TEMPTA TIOSS.

A Yonng Clergyman'« Experience—Kiss imp Ati Parishioners—Preachers are but Mortals, and Women Hhould Know

An ex-Episcopal minister, and now a brillant lawyer in New York, waa recently approached by a reporter on the subject of hi* having retired from the ministry under Mme suspicions as to his moral bearing, when he expressed him«»lf fully and freely. He said he had left the ministry because he felt unfitted Ur it, and found the ordeal of pastoral Visits unpleasant. The pay was small,

JH charge critical, and clergymen were he most envloui men in the world. The preaching he liked. It bad all the eieitement of the political stump, with the added charm that he spoke by authority, and nobody (*uld contradict him. Then, too, it was real pleasure to took down into scores of fair young fucm every Sunday and tind them fixed upon you with a sort of hunger that is paid to none but the preacher and the Almighty.

But was there any real trouble—any impropriety he was aked again. "There was trouble enough, to be gu-e about improDriety, it would be difficult te draw theline and say whether there was or not. I am dispt/sed today to talk freely about this matter, and I might not do it again in years. Ferh*ps it is because I feel like preaching a lerraon, with myself for a text. Let me •ay just here that few know the extent Of temptation to which a young clergyman is subjected. He comes out of the theological seminary at the age of twen-

S-two,

perhaps (as I did.) with a most arming ignorance of the world. At dtoce he is sent to take charge of a Obarch and look after the lives and consciences of several hundred people. He goes straight into the confidence of all these families. At any hour of the day he can ring the bell and he will be a welcome guest. His privileges are many and manifest. Tt is thought no harbrin him to kiss the married ladies. The young ladies are sent to his 6tudy to be Sited out for confirmation and to pass hours alone with him there in prayer and religions conversation. Of course It is expected that he will be enough an anchorite not to notice whether lady's cheek is fair, her form beautiful her manners fascinating. In his minis (•rial capacity be is not a man. only priest or preacher. Now, to no other class of men are such privileges extend ed. If a gentleman calls at an unseemly hour it looks strange not so in a clergyman. If any other than the minister takes long walks or holds lengthy confabs with married ladies or misses, it is noticed at once. But a parish always Insists that a minister Bhall call often and especially OH the ladies. The men usually prefer to be absent when the ••domine*is around. Unless a young man's head is very level, indeed, what «an you expect but tbatit will be turned by such privileges and duties as these

A PRBTTT WIDOW.

You think I am letting myself out Well, perhaps I am. Perhaps, after all, it will be just as well if I give you an pitident or two from my own experience. "Ibere was a very pretty young woman In one of my own congregations who lest her husband while I was tbere. At the third visit my stock of scriptures applicable to such cases bad run ont, and I *as sitting on pins and needles, trying to think of some common places to suit the occasion. As I thought, I looked at her sitting beside me with dawncast face, I could think of nothing else. I gaced with silent admiration, and at length she looked up and read th trnoie story in my eyes. I took on hand In mine, and with the other drew her to me, held her in my arras and kii**i iior. It was all wrong, of course. Did I teil yon that I was married Not Well, I was married at the time, and had a family, too. As I left the house, Mrs. 8. remarked that she was grateful for my sympathy, and I stammered out something in return. That Dight rcely slept any for the sin of kissing parishioner. Yet how could I forsake herl I must call in oommon desen oy. To mako a long story short, pretty young s, and we sat

continued to call. The Vidow met mo with a kiss, and chatted hand-in-hand, and looked a pretty strong platonio affection in each ether's eyes. Yet all this was done Without design, simply because the opportunity brought it aoout.

A FAIR XAIDKN, TOO.

This same bewitching widow got me into a fearful scrape, or rather, she nearly did it. After awhile she assumed a sort of ownership «f myself and my •onscionce, and affected to get very jealous of a young lady of the congregation who lived a little way out of town, and occasionally passed the night with my family. The latter was very pretty, very arch tn her ways, and was gener al mvorlte with us *11. The widow had rsaftm to be jealenls in a measufe.for it happened that one day, on entering my stuov, the young lady sat there reading, and on entering put on my hat, ana looked roguishly. I demanded the forfiit—hping privileged as a clergymen to he audaolous—and took it*/ As nay lip* n«t hers my kisses were returned with Internet. The widow fbond it ont somehow, and charged me with my perfidy to her affection Of somas I had plenty of denials at br service: I declared with vebenaence that my lips had never touched the lady's oheeks. She might have believed me had ahe not met ns riding out to the yeuag lady's house a few days afterward, when I wae taking toll of "her lips on the road. I pleaded guilty, but recommended 1*13 self to the

mercy theoeurt. Likeanothe Adam, I pleaded temptation. Now far another instance: too MAVY rrns.

A lady earns te our little dty frerm the north, and carried all hearts by eterm. Her conquests availed her nothing nnlees she eould carry a ministor's scalp at her waist also. Well, it dangles there. She carried off a ringDrrtin my finger, and, woman-like, exhibited the trophy to half a dosen intimate friends. The senior warden, a worthy police magistrate, heard of it the next morning, and came to see me the same night. It was not much use to make a denial, and yet no great harm had been done. He only thought that, his pastor had been making fool of hieaeelf, and the pastor thosght so too.

HUSBANDS AND WIVES. [From the New York Sunday Meroory No doubt many a woman has gone into her room and had a "good cry' because ber husband called her by her baptismal name, and not by that absurd nickname invented in the days of their folly or, because pressed for time, be hurried out of the nouse without going through the established formula leave-making. The lover has merged into a husband security has taken the place of wooiug and the woman does not take kindly to the transformation. Sometimes she plays a dangerons game,' and triea what flirting with another man will do. If her Scheme does not answer and' her husband ia not made jealous, she is revolted and holds herself that hardly used being, .a neglected wjfe. Then she *111 perhaps sulk, and no longer greet her husband with a cheering smile after the labors of the day. He

the change of conduct, and feeling he is not to blame hesitates to take the initiative or smoothing matters. Nothing is in reality more annoying than the display of affection which some husbands and wives show each other in society. That familiarity of touch, those half-concealed caress )s, tbpfee ahsurd Hamee, that prodigality of endearing epitheti, that devoted attention which they flaunt in the face of the public as a kind cf challenge to the world at large to come and adinnfe their happiness, is always noticed end laughed at, and sometimes more than laughed at. Yet to some women this parade of love is the very essence of married happiness. They believe themselves admired snd envied, when tbey are, ridiculed and scoffed at and they think their has bands are models for other men to copy, when they are taken as examples to avoid. Men who have any real jnanliuess, however, do not give in to this kind of thing though there are some as effeminate and gushing women themselves, who like this sloppy effu* siveness of lave, and carrv it on, into quite old age, fondling the ancient grandmother with gray hairs as lavishly as they had fondled the youthful bride, and seeing no want of harmony in callins an old dame of sixty and upwards by the pet names by which they bad called her when she was a slip of a girl of eighteen. The continuance of love from youth to old age Is very cheering but even "John Anders©#, my Jo, would lose its pathos if Mrs. Anderson had ignored the difference between the raven locks and the snowy brow of her venerable John.

SOZlE VERY EM A RKABL E WINTERS. [From the New London Telegram.]

Now is the time to trot out paragraphs about remarkable winters—winters that have distinguished themselves by being either oolder or warmer than, the law allows. No well regulated newspaper will neglect Its duty. Referring back to our flies we flnd that in 1172 the temperature was so high that leaves came out on the trees in January, and birds hatched their broods in February. In 1289 the weather was equally mild, and the maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of violets and corn flowers at Christmas and Twelfth Day. In 1421 the trees flowered in the month of -March, and the vines in the month of April. Cherries ripened in the same month of Apiil. Peaches appeared is May, and little boys commenced to fall out of apple trees a little later. In 1572 the trees were covered with leaves in January, and the birds hstched their young in February as in 1172. in 1686 the same thing was repeated, and it is added that the corn was in ear at Easter. To the best of our memory, there was in France neither snow ncr frost throughout the winters of 1588, 1607, 1809, 1617, 1659 'finally in 1662 even in the north of Germany, the stoves were not lighted, trees flowered in February, and out-door bouquets were showered on the newspaper offices without number. It seems but as yesterday. Coming to later dates, the Winter of 1846-1847, when it thundered at Paris on the 28th of January, and that of 1866, the year of the in undation of the Seine, may be mentioned as very mild.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF OlVlNd. [Hartford Times.] •n excellent young lady belonging to one of our best families, presenting a rift, writes: "This gift is not much iu tself, but I made it with my own hands. Te me a gift is not se much its intrinsic value as the fact we are thought of kindly. A young lady said to me the other day, that no one cares for her. end. hearing this, I sat right down and maae lor ber a present and sent it to her, thinking that it might cheer her a little. My idea in religion is not in long rayers, and great sots now and thsn, ut In little acts dally that go to make up our life. 1 have not much to give but I try to do what I can, if ever so lit tie. She wished to cheer the heart of that otbeT young lady, who felt that nobody cared for her, ana so sent a gift that teld that shs loved her. At this season of the year, the holidays, let every one remember others, Mpedaily the poor—the rich have many friends. 80 says the bleesed Bible. The poor ars too often fbrgott»n, not to say neglected, by us here but God remembers them, and se did oar blessed Saviour, who loved the poer. Let every reader cf this seek out some one, poor and in need, end by all means give them a ieat, if only a trifle. It will sheer ihem up, mid both the giver and receiver will reeelve the blessing.

THE DANGER OF EATING TOO MUCH.—

Nobody ever repented of eating too little, was the sage remark of an old gentleman on the verge or ninety, next to whom the writer bad the pleasure of sitting at dinner the other night. The host was pressing him to take more, and urging liim in the usual phrase, "Why, you have eaten scarcely nothing!"

Now, it is to be assumed that the old gentleman's words indicated one or the by-ways to good health, along which he bad traveled through his long life, and to which he owed his present remarkably hearty condition so it was suggested to him interrogatively that he had always been a small feeder. "Yes," he answered, "ever si nee I was two or three and twenty up to that time I was a weakly young fellow enough, and I used to make the great mistake of trying to eat and drink as much as I could, in the hope of becoming strong. All my friends and the doctor backed me in my error but fortunately I found it out in time and "knocked off"—as your modern slang has it—more than half my usual amount of stimulant. I gave up the idea of making myself strong, and merely strove to make myself wfll, and I was contented with eating just as much as I could digest and no more. Of course it took some time and experience to discover the precise limits I could not adopt the golden rule or always leaving off with an appetite, because I never began with one, but my persistently erring on the right side, I got hold of one of the great secrets or life—the secret or knowing when oiie has enough. And after a year or two I became so much better that I used to find myseir ready to eat a meal at any time, and by degrees actually acquired an appetite. Then, once found, I never destroyed it, but always determinedly rose with the feeling that I could eat more. NaturalIv temptation grew stronger, but I was firm. I did not behave nngraterully to my stomschand immediately presume apon its increased powers by overloading it. I did not live to eat, but only ate to live and behold me! I have no need to be very particular what eat even at my time or life I have only to be careful not to eat too much."
