ENGAGEMENTS OF MARRIAGE.
They Should Be Definite and
Brief, Not Conditional and
Protracted,
This letter propounds a question of
grave importance to society, and in-
vites a discussion which should be of
general interest:

ness and welfare of his daughter uader

~The superiority of the tumultuous
youthful passion and impulse of the
daughters vo the experience and judg-
ment of the parents wrecks the hap-
piness ef too many homes.T
~o*PATERFAMI'IAS.�
In the first place, neither a girl hei-
self nor her parents should tolerate a
four-yearsT engagement, except under
very extraordinary circumstances. It
is injurious to the gitl in many ways
and serves no desirable purpose. ~Lhe

Travesty Upon Religion.
Seldom has a graver outrage been
committed upon the fair name of
religion in this country than the one
briefly ouMined in an Atlanta Consti-
tution special mews dispatch from
Bourben, Ind. published Tuesday
morning,
As a grand climax toa mest sensa-
tional and startling discourse on the
devil delivered by one of the leading
clergymen of Bourbon on last Sunday
evening, it is stated in the news dis-
patch that some one clad in hideous
guise .and _ partially obscured by
wreathes of smoke, burst into the
church door with the announcement
that he had come to carry off the
congregation. Of course disorder and
confusion followed ; children shreiked,
and nerycus wcmen fainted ; and in
the general'scramble which lasted for
some time, the church building caught
on fire. Efforts to save it proved
unavailing, and the handsume edifice
was soon reduced to ruins. On the
following morning it was ascertained
that the party who undertook to im-
personate the devil was none other
than the clergymanTs own son.
The Constitution commenting on
this affair"very rightly, too-"says that
while there is nothing in the news
dispatch which criminates the clergy-
man himself, the affair ig not without
suspicious circumstances, and may yet
involve him when the whole truth is
round out. Itasbarely possivle that
in order to accentuate the \ivid lan-
euage of his discourse, ~he clergy nan
may have inspired the dramatic epi-
sode, little dreaming of the conse-
quences which might follow. Again
the burden of the whole affair may
rest solely upon the shoulders of the
gon. .
Whatever the truth of the aflair may
be, it calls for prompt and vigorous
treatment. Such outrages upon
things sacred should not pass unre-
buked; and sf the clergyman in ques-
tion is at all responsible tor the trav-
esty upon religion with which his
discourse terminated on last Sunday
evening, he should never be allowed to
preach again. If he 1s innocent of any
criminal participaticn in the outrage,
the proot thereof should be immediate-
ly fortheeming,
This leads us to observe that the
curse of the modern pulpit is sensa-
tionalism."Durham Sur,
On Posting Land.
Never before have we kuown of
somuch posting of land as has
been going on recently. Land
owners far and near haye been
instant in season and out of sea-
son to avoid the annoyance of so
much trespassing as they have
been subjected to during the fail
and winter. Not a few have
instituted suits and haye been
thrown into costs, when they
thcught they had their lands
properly posted against trespas-
sing.
We do not pretend to know
wiatths law is on the subject.
One or two magistrates hold
that no posting is sufficient un-
less the owner gives personal
warning to the intruder. So
well informed a justice as Esquire.
Kiser says that it is necessary to
post a warning xotice at the
court-honseand algo at three or
more public places besides.
Even then, cays Esquire Kiser,
it is the opinion of Judge Win.
ston in his Talkwon Law that a
trespasser could not be punished
unless it could be shown that he
knew the land was posted.
These things go to show that
there should be acomplete over-
hauliog of the laws upon the
subject. It world not be bad to
havea simple general statute
covering all the lands in the
State, and requiring permission
to be obtained from the land
owner, instead of subjecting him
to the expense, trouble, and an-
noyance of personally warping
tonzue when he should -has_ the

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH,
A Pleasant Simple, but Safe Ef-
fectual Cure forjit,
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable,
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom"
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and luogs and
difficult breathing; headache fickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeting,
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the
interior of the stomach could be seen
it would showa slimy, inflamed con-
Jition
The cure fer this common and
obstinate trouble is found in a treat-
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has a time to ferment end irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestica is
secured the caturrhal condition will
have disappeared.
Accerding to Dr. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Distsste, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal en fruit acids.
These iablets can now be found at
all drug stores uacer the name of
StuariTs Dyspepsia ~Tablets, and, not
being a patent medicine, can be used,
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their recular use after meals.

But Experience Had Proved That Her Own
_ Were Not Infallible.
oNow,� she said with just atouch
of triumph, ~~you will admit itTs
fortunate that I insisted on the um-
brella. I had a presentiment that it
was going to rain.�T
~It must be a mighty fine thing
to have presentiments,TT he mused.
oIt must take off the keen edge of
disappointment.�
~ooYes,TT she answered, ~~but you
cee it cuts off anticipation too. ItTs
the law of compensation again.�
~That old gag setting up anticipa-
tion is all bosh,TT he said, looking at
her hat with the long, waving
plumes. ~~You women couldnTt wear
all that folderol on your heads if
you didnTt have presentiments about
umbrellas. If a man tried to wear
a thing hke that heTd ruin seven a
week,�
~o~Ob,TT she said, ~~man dropped his
feathers when he lost his instincts,
because it was too expensive to keep
them in curl.�T |
~Undoubtedly, and now he is
doomed to bare utility and to the
palpabilities of the spoken word. He
has to ask the bald question before
he knows whether a woman is going
to refuse him or not.�T
~The easiest way to dispose of
things occult is to ridicule them.�T
oTm not ridiculing,� he said, ~I
believe in presentiments just as
firmly as I believe in metempsycho-
sis or the faith cure. To prove it, I
was about toask you to produce one
forme. If I should propose to you
this afternoon, do you think youTd
refuse me?TT
~ItTs like @ man,T she answered,
~~to want intuitions made to order.�T
oOh, I didnTt mean that,TT hesaid,
~put if you happened to have one
lurking round you"one evolved in
the regular way"I thought you
might be willittg to help me out.�T
oItTs my disposition to help peo-
ple out,� she answered. ~~ITm sure
I should.�T ,
~Should refuse?TT he asked. ~~Oh,
well, thatTs only a presentiment. I
never was superstitious, �T
oNo,� she answered, ~~youTre a
sad materialist. But I wonder how
you'd explain something that hap-
pened to me once.
oIt was several years ago, when
influenza was about. I was the only
person in sour house not under the
doctorTs care.
sick with the rest, but no one had
thought her condition alarming. Yet
somehow that night, sitting before
the grate with the firelight on her
face, she soemed to me to be sud-
denly stricken with the weight of
her years. I saw that the sand was
running fast and I felt that she
wouldn't live till morning. I could
not really say it, and mother would
not understand. But I was wakeful
far into the night and several times
I crept out to grandmother's door,
when { heard her snoring in the
most reassuringly carthly way.
Finally I did sleep soundly and it
was later than usual when I awoke.
You know how differently things
look by daylight. There is confi-
dence, too, in the fee! of oneTs clothes
and in the perpendicular.
ofwent down expecting to tind
her and thinking how silly I had
been. But before I had time fora
question mother said: ~You had bet-.
ter go up and see how grandmother
is feeling. She hasnTt come down.T
oTt all came over me again in an
instant. I felt the blood drop out of
my face and the strength cut of my
body, but I flew up stairs. Ilistened
outside the door, but there was no
sound, Then I knocked softly. Of
course there was no answer. Then
I knocked again. Fora moment I
couldn't open the door, but it seem-
ed unworthy to leave the shock to
some one else, so J turned the knob
and softly pushed it open. You can
imagine what 1 felt when I looked
in and saw the old lady sitting
quietly lacing her shoes.TT"Chicago

How Millionaires Aghieve the Pleasures
of Aristocratic Company.
oHow do they do it?TT I asked a
lady last week whom I thought like-
ly to know how money is got out of
an African millionaire bitten with
a desire to become a man of fashion.
She said: ~~Well, of course, when
they take a fine house, guests have
tobe found. Then there is a com-
petition to ~run them.TTT ~Yes,T I
said, ~~but supposing that I were a
fine lady, poor, but greedy, and did
not aspire to more than a few hun-
dredsiTT ~~You would have to be
one of the right set, you know,�T
she explained. ~~Yes,TT I continued,
oT will suppose myself a bright par-
ticular star of the right set and
both nice looking and influential.�
oYou need not be the first; the sec-
ond would be enough. You first
have to. make the acquaintance of
your intended victim, but this is
easy. Then you find yourself talk-
ing to him at a party or somewhere.
You say to him, with a simple, in-
nocent look, that you havea little
money that you would like to in-
vest, and you ask him to invest it
for you. He probably will agree to
do this. Then he invests it and soon
returns you £200 or £300.� ~~But
supposing that thé £100 is lostiTT I
asked. ~~Oh, but you donTt really
give him the £100; you only say
that you want to invest it. He un-
derstands what is meant, and just
buys whatever society influence he
thinks that you may have.� ~~And
do many ladies try this game on¢�T
I asked. ~~Plenty,TT she answered,
oand Ido not blame them. They
have to live, and if they have some-
thing to sell and a millionaire
thinks it willdo him good to buy
it, why notT After all, you don't
suppose that people of this sort are
received and made much of for any
other reason than for getting what
they can out of them? All the talk
about investing 1s only a delicate
way of letting the man know that if
he wants social currency he must
pay his footing.�T ~Oh,�T I said.
And yet what possible pleasure
can these millionaires find in being
admitted into the outer courts of a
society that laughs at them and
that only tolerates them in order to
plunder them-"a society to whose
ways they are strange andin which
they areas much fish out of water
as would be a fine lady in a Johan-
nesburg barroom? Some of these
millionaires have the good sense to
perceive this. They enjoy life with
their own friends and in their own
way. These I respect. But for those
who are buying their way into a po-
sition that is contemptible I feel
the utmost contempt. I never knew
the Jate Barney Barnato"indeed to
my knowledge I never saw him"
but I once heard that a number of
fine ladies and gentlemen had been
invited to meet him. Each went to
the dinner in the hope of getting
something out of him, and their |
hopes rose when, after the dinner
was over, he thanked them for the
pleasure of finding himself among
them, and said that he was anxious
to do something to show his appre-
ci.ion of their kindness. Then he
recited to them the soliloquy of
He let and wished them good
evc..ing. Ialways had a sneaking
adiniration for the departed Barney
aiter I heard this story."London |

A Rabbit Stopped Family Prayers,
One Sunday we were all at regu-
lar family prayer. A sporting friend
Was visiting me, and he and I knelt,
facing a low window, with our el
bows upon the sill, And from-round
a corner, Jo, there came unto usa
coney, and he reared up not two
yards from us, and he hearkened
unto the prayers, and he winked his
nose at us, till my friend forgot
himself and exclaimed, ~~We kin
eatch that devil!� Ithrew up the
window so hard that
pane, and out we leaped in redhot
chase, And the dear old archdeacon
almost burst trying not to laugh,
for he had seen the raibit and was
a keen sportsman withal. Weran
