lupa Hunt; 4. nuun nun ;u Lulu Russell was only 8. man, and rather a weak one after all, as has appeared. He was not proof against _the beauty and the love of this sweet; girl. He took her in his arms with u tenderness that reverence ex- acted of passion, and. kissed away her tears, though he did not conne his attention wholly to the source of them.

A man in rags is thought to bea much more interesting subject for the pencil than another in goodly raiment; arnde thatched cottage, with children, dirty and in tatters. playing in the adjoining ken- nel, is chosen for a representation in pre- ference to a decent dwelling house; a nar- row, a somber street, composed of gable ends, tottering and irregular, and many colored by the hand of time, is held in greater esteem than ever so stately a ter- race of modern mansions. Especially in regard o'f mediaeval ruins, these glorious examples of grandeur in decay, does this tendency display itself. To light upon a really ne old ruin will an artist travel many a league through unfrequented parts, enduring much fatigue; and when at length he reaches the object of his search, the pleasure he experiences com- pensates every toil. He jots down the really fine old ruin" and carries it away in his portfolio, and if he is a master in his art will nd a purchaser as ready to buy as he is to sell. ' . _.'-..-..___ The Mistake of a Lifetime. It is the mistake of a lifetime to give a man any liberty which you `would not want known, and to expect him to keep the matter a secret. _ The exceptional man will sometimes hide the indiscretion of a young girl whom he believes spoke or acted from ignorance ; but the average man, in the highest the same as the lowest walks of life, boasts of his successes with foolish women, and rendezvous, the letter the embrace, or the souvenir which she has given him, thinking it will never be known to others than themselves. is short- ly the matter of gossip among a dozen people. Women hide their secrets far better than men do. They fear the cen- sure of the world too much to share their errors or indiscretions with condantes. But men are almost invariably vain and proud of their achievements with the fair sex to one of two admiring friends. They may not use names, but let -the incidents once be told, it is an easy matter to dis- cover the_ personages,if one is at all curious todo so. The only way to keep men from betraying our indiscretions is not to com- mit them. ' Stole $100,000 at Week. The London pollce have run down a clever gang of check forgets, who are believed to have stolen 20,000 a. week for several week: past. The disclosures were made a few days ago by the arrest of ayuung mun supposed to be James Johnson, who presented a forged check for 1700 at _the London and Westmins- ter Bank. Last Friday the same bank was victimized out of 2126. A Singer Get: one Farthing Damaget. The amt for $100,000 damages for libel brought by the Italian singer, Oiampi, against e London Telegraph was decided` last Wednesday, the court giving the lainti' a verdict for damages in one fart ing.

Tne Telegraph called in its defence a formidable array of theleading critics of the city. 9 Prof. Brine clears Himself. The New York Presbytery, to try Prof. C. A.
