Her hair hung in a •eil before them, and hid the guilty and innocent alike from sight. " I had one like you once," she mur­ mured, after the hush of a moment, " but he died.

Opium i* the CITY LITE. tNIl ea the Folly of Y< Ifomen L*M»vinjj; Their Home* in the Qpuntry for Life In the City. Prcrf. Swing, erf Chicago, has begun, in his paper, the Alliance, the considera­ tion of the fatal attractions of city life for the young men and young women of the country. The vice of city life is what ministers and moralists are accus­ tomed to dwell upon, but lectures and sermons on this phase of the matter are not so apt to discourage the natural tendency of mankind to aggregate in large communities as the dismal outlook of failure, which is the only perspective city life presents to the majority of those who seek it without experience or prepa­ ration. Prof. Swing has been wise in recognizing this fact, and by continually pressing it upon his hearers and readers he may make it more effective than whole volumes of abstract moralization. The key to his position may be found in the following paragraph : That young men and women are ruined by vice is well known, but a great number are drawn away from some good life purmrit be­ cause they would rather drive a Htage or feed a horse in a city thim do a good year's work on i new farm 100 miles away. There are thousands of young men who are anxious to live where they can wear clean cuffs and nice black boots e\erj day. And then one want* to go to a concert now and then, and to hear the j great singers, and ^actors, and orators who j travel along. This is the universal argument, ] It is often poor, childish blunder. If the j country offers one good labor and pay all these j other things can oome alon^ rapidly enough. Once a year to the city will give the rural youth all the art, and opera, and drama he will need. A week a year will dp, and there then remain fifty-one weeks for country work and country education. Mental luxuries go out to the country man in these days. As men do not need to go to Jerusalem to worship, so neither need tbey go to a city to find all good. Books go . out to the people. Music loves the country too. The society of many country tpwnn is as good as any metropolitan group one can enter. The longing for city life, says the Chi­ cago TVibune in commenting on the sub­ ject, that swells the bosom of nine out of every ten young men and women reared in the country grows out of a misappre­ hension. It is like the desire of a stage- sfruck amateur, who sees only the brill­ iancy of the footlights and the glitter of the tinsel, who hears only the applause of the audience in front, who knows only of the momentary excitement of public life, and has no conception of the bitter trials and the hard work so rarely re­ warded with anything but disappoint­ ment and discomfiture. The great mass of poverty-stricken clerks and day-labor­ ers, of starving seamstresses and shop­ girls, and of the idle and unemployed of both sexes in large cities are those whose ^ youthful training contemplated nothing I about%7i^hryearn' since? but plowing the field or milking the | have little hope, I wo cows. They might have been contented ---end this is the highest and most last­ ing happiness--had they not abandoned a peaoeful, quiet, rural life for a struggle in a crowded community, where they are brought into competition with skilled hands and superior training. To enter upon the struggle of life in a large city without trade or calling can only be lik­ ened to embarking upon a stormy sea in a boat without a rudder. As a rule, death is the only relief in either case. It is not vice alone but failure that threat­ ens, and, though not so immoral, it kills 4 ae surely, and drags along a wretched ex­ istence without the glamour that vice sometimes provides as a sort of compen­ sation. Happiness, like all other things, is only relative to the condition, and the tastes, inclinations, and temptations that city life develops for those who can never hope to indulge in them only add to the stock of wretchedness instead of the stock of bliss. But it is not the inexperienced youths alone who suffer from unnatural contact with city life; the city suffers as well. The unemployed classes, the pauper classes, the vicious classes, the bummer classes, are swollen by the aimless and frivolous that are furnished by the rural districts. With millions of rich acres in this broad land, and resources that are as yet limitless and open to strong hands and ready hearts, young men and young women flock to crowded cities to live in squalor, to starve, to steal, to plunder. The mass of foreigners who oome to America have been reared to agricultural pursuits, and know nothing else. With land so cheap and fertile as they find it here they could enlarge the patches to which they have been accustomed in their native lands to great, rich farms, and dairies, and plantations, and stock­ yards. But they are lured by the ignis /at urn of city life, and relapse into nar­ row alleys, and dirty hovels, and crowd­ ed tenements, and a general condition of squalor and disease. They infest the politics of the day, and acquire all the vices without any of the virtues of self- government. They prostitute themselves to the uses of the demagogue, and de­ generate into a sort of political machin­ ery, manipulated for the benefit of public plunderers. They are largely responsi­ ble for the abuses of city government, but get small share of the individual ben­ efits that accrue therefrom. The only hope in recurring to the subject is that, by making these and all other people without the education or preparation for combatting with city life on equal terms understand that the suffering more than outweighs the gratification, and that fail­ ure is limitless, while success is micro­ scopic, some of them may be deterred in THE TELEPCBP. Bnad-Kcw Invention--How a WM Bent Over the Wires. [From the Operator.] A good story comes from Norwalk, Ct. One day last week a gaunt, slab- Bided chap, with particles of hay-seed on hie coat and in his tow-colored hair, stepped up to the telegraph office at the railroad depot and asked if the boss was in. The operator assured him that he .was, and his rural friend went on to re­ late that he lived up in Danbury, had oome down from there that mo^niiag^atii^ intended bringing his brother's dog, " May I liim in the oeil | ̂ hich a man in Norwich wanted to buy, nil .1 1 I I < .

The following letter, Written only a short time previous to his ^succeeded in made ; call again in about half an hour, and the dog will be here." " It iB a yellow dog, with small ears, and is about so high," said the Granger, placing his hand eighteen ijsches front the floor. He then took his departure with the remark that he would call again soon. The operator then sent his mes­ senger boy to look for a dog as near the de&eription as possible, which he soon finding.

"It Is one of Miss lhtuhlon's best novels, and Is literally fascinating.'* A Rich Man's Heirs. More work for the lawyers, over the will of Isaac M. Singer. Some of the heirs are not satisfied with their allow­ ance out of the estate. Singer left al­ together about $4,000,000 to be divided among his several families (he was mar­ ried five or six times), and among the many heirs, it appears, there are some who think they were born to purple and fine linen. One branch, named Math­ ews, consists of mother, two dau#& ters and one son, tlue children all grown up. Their shares of the great estate were $200,000 each. But the bequests are so tied up that only an allowance out of them can be had. This does not suit their ideas at all, so the mother is trying to have the allowance increased. She thinks each ought to get $500 a month. They cannot possibly live up to their position and expectations with less. They must* really have $500 a month each, at least; or there will be hardship and, possibly, loss of caste. Another heir, a young married woniau named Foster, who has been receiving $500 a , month out of the estate, now wants $1,000. She also wants $2,500 for a suitable ; turnout. A beggarly $500 a month can't: begin to support her in the way she I ought to live. Singer himself lived in ; magnificent style in England and France for some years before his death, and why should not his heirs, who never \ helped him to earn a dollar of the great 1 fortune he left behind, live just as luxu­ riously as he did ? One of Mrs. Math­ ews' reasons for demanding $500 a month for her son is that he wants to travel. Singer traveled a good deal in his early days on much less than that. He and his wife made the rounds of the country with cheap shows and third-class theatri­ cal companies, and did not see $500 in a year. But things are a good deal changed since that time, and rich men's heirs have mighty big notions nowadays. struck with amazement. After looking at the dog a moment or so, he said, " Say, mister, he ain't so big as he was, and he is darker, how is that ?" " Oh ! that is easily explained," said the operator; "you see the chemicals employed in making electricity of course darken his original color, and the veloci- j ty with wliich he passed over the wire oaused him to contract in size ; but after : you expose him to the air for a short j time he will soon assume his original size and eolor." " Du tell," said the countryman, and, • after placing 50 cents on the counter, he | picked up the dog, and walked out of the | office, remarking that " the man who in- I vented them telegraphs must be a very I knowledgable man." I The Slare-Trade. It will be astounding news to many American Christians that the slave-trade is still carried on to such an extent as to involve the loss, annually, of at least' 500,000 lives. Such, we are assured by the Missionary News, is the fact. From the same source we learn that while this large number die o^ are massacred in this inhuman traffic, only 70,000 Afri­ cans reach the coast and become slaves. | The News states that there axe five ' routes by which slaves are taken from Central Africa : "1. Through the Sa- i liara desert to Tunis and Morocco. 2. * Down the Nile, via Khartoum, into I Egypt. 3. Down the Nile, turning off before reaching- Khartoum, for the sea­ ports on the Red sea. 4. Direct to the i Zanzibar coast, for Zanzibar, Pemba, etc. 5. Two routes from I^ike N'yassa to the Mozambique coast/'for Ma<la- : gascar and the North." And it add '"The treaties with Zanzibar do no ' j ; really prevent the traffic, as the Seyid has no power to enforce these treaties" ~~~ i The English cruisers capture only a ' jraction of the dhows engtiged by the Arabs im the slave-trade. It has now | become necessary to seek directly, by all justifiable means, to abolish slavery i» Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Zanzibar, Mada­ gascar, Tunis, Morocco, Cuba and !
