OLD SMITH’S ROMANCE. ‘When tt was whispered at the mess of the Hop- Shire that “old Smith,” as he was familiarly called, had been actuaily detected in the clandestine ac- quaintance with a certain pretiy milliner girl in the town of Filstone, where the regiment was quartered, the announcement was received partly ‘With amusement and partly with incredulity. ‘Smith was a quiet, retiring man, perfectly harm- Jess, very good natured, the guide, philosopher aad friend of youngsters, although he was made a Dutt by these same youngsters, on account of his awkwardness and his mysterious habits, and was ‘Universally respected, as he had shown conspicu- Sarena eee gs De aa en eee As he Was a poor man, and remained in the regl- ment partly out of sheer affection for the service and partly because he was at an age when itis diMicult to embark upon a new course of life, he mnixed but little in the gaities and hospitality for which the Hooshire was famous, spent bis time prinetpaily asnong his books, and, it was generally belleved, in adding to his professional income by contributing to pertodteal literature. ‘The object of old Sinith’s Intentions, 1t was re- orted, Was Gracie Clough—a pretty, modest, well- shaved girl, who occupied 4 position in the mil- Unery establishment of Ruche & Bustle, and after whom half the subs in the battaiton were raving, although not a word had ever been breathed that she had in the slightest degree outstepped the bounds of propriety, or had upon any occasion be- haved herselfotherwise than modestly and becom- ngiy. Of these smitten youngsters none Was more ‘dent In bis professions of admiration, and none could congratulate himself upon having made sarer approach to conquest’ than the harum- scarum, devil-may-care Honorable Bob Topsham, eldest son of Lord Cray, upon whose authority the news of old Smith's attachment had been spread abroad. At first the notion that old Smith could have ceeded In cutting out the handsome, titled young sub was scouted as ridiculous, for Smith not exactly of the age and appearance to win the love of a girl at whose feet a score of eligible da 4 position and qualifications were ready to throw themselves. {twas very well Known, too, that he was not in a_position to sup- port a’wife, and bis character stood tou high for sny one to dare to breathe a hint that his inten- Mons toward such girl would be anything but Strictly honorable. But Bob Topsham invited hts brother subs to #eo for themselves, and arranged that after mess one evening they should accom any him into the town, conceal themselves, and ‘p Watch on the premises of Kuche & Bustie at the hour whea the young ladies of that famous emporium were liberated from thetr day's servi- tude. ‘This they did, and they were rewarded by seeing old Smith walking up and down the street in the true cavalter style, to be presently joined by Gracte, who greeted him with cordfality, and, putting her arm in his, went off with him in the direction of the pleasant flelds by which Filstone 4s surrounded, ‘The young gentlemen, with the exception of Bob Topsham, rezarded the affair as an excellent Joke, afid resoived that old Smith should hear of its discovery in divers pleasant ways; but Bob ‘Topsham took it very seriously, for he was head fer heels in Jove with the girh,'and up to a recent Gate bad good reason to believe that his affection was reciprocated, and that he held undivided pos- session of her hedrt. Of course, every one knew that between Bob Topsham and Gracts Clough a very intimate un- Perstunding existed, but the young gentleman ad already fallen in love halt a dozen times, and the idea was never entertained for a moment that Uhe prospective Lord Cray, the heir of one of the proudest noblemen tn the county, seriously medi- tated matrimonial union with a'provinclal shop- girl; so that he was made the subject of Innumer- abio witticisins anent the new rival who had sud- niy appeared on the field. The result was that a coolness sprang up between him and old Smith, though they had hitherto been on the best term3 with each other, and It became very evident to the only onlookers, who hailed with delight any- thing Which promised to vary the monotony of barrack life in a quiet old country town, that the aiZair Would soon assume a serious aspect. ‘The climax came in due course. Bob Topsham had seen Gracie, and the following conversation had ensued between them: “I say, Gracte,” sald the Honorable Bob, “I wish You'd put me out of my misery and teil me plainly and honestly how matters stand between us. ‘You've said scores of times that you care more for ine than for any other fellow. I’ve sworn to you that I could never love another girl, and yet I've found out tuat not only are you in the habit of lneeting Smith of ours, but that you treat him Just like a favored lover—tin fact, you do with him What you've never done with’ me, you go out walks with him, and I can’t nelp thinking that yourre playing a double game.” ‘The girl seemed very much dejected at these ac- eusations, and at length hesitatingly replied: “Weil, Bob, I’m sorry you have such a poor opinion of me. T've told you that J love you, and itis not Ukely that I should say such a thing and at the ‘Same time be carrying on—as you term it—with auother man. But I that our attachment 1s altogether an unfortunate affair. I know I've done wrong in encouraging you, but I have not Deen able to help it, because I have not been able to help loving you.” Don’t you think that we had better not meet any more, and try to forget all that Bas passed between us?” ‘The young officer stared in amazement and exclaimed: “Why, Gracie, you don't mean to say Uiat you're going fo throw me over like this?” “No, Bob, 1 don’t want to do anything of the sort,” repli¢d the girl; “but Iam anxious to act for Four good—for the good of both of us—really, truly, and honestiy Ido. Please don’t accuse me of any other motive. Just think over our posi. ton. On the one side there 1s you—heir to a great Bame, Your father a proud, rich man. On the other side, here am I—a milliier’s shop girl.

At last he stopped short and sad: “Capt. Smith, get the girl out of the millinery business as Soon as you can. Ofcourse, 1 am Say- ing this upon the supposition that you are so far acquainted with her as to be abie todoit. If money is needed, write me a line here, and let the Young rascal pursue his suit. I don’t’ know how to thank you sufliciently for the trouble you_ have taken in the matter, as in the absence of the in- formation you have’ given me Ishould assuredly have treated the clandestine unton of my son with a milliner girl with the greatest severity.’ “Then I may tell your son, my lord, that— that” “the sooner he gets married the better,” said Lord Cray. ‘Old Smith took his leave with a beaming face, and arrived at Filstone in time for mess. ‘The honorable Bob Topsham Was there, and glared unutterable things at his brother officer throughout the repast. Indeed, old Smith could not help being conscious that he was an object of general interest, and, from the fact that conver- sation at the table was more subdued than usual, although it was a guest night, he opined that during his brief absence astorm'had been gather- ing which would presently burst upon his lead. Immediately after dinner Smith, ag was his cus- tom, rose and left the room without taking any wine. Bob Topsham also rose and followed him, and when he got outside the door said, ina voice Which was almost inarticulate with anger: mith, are you golng to apologize for your be havior?” “Hullo!” exclaimed Smith, laughing; “thav’s rather good; a sub of three years’ standing making a cool request like that to man iifteen years his senior!” “I don’t care if you were fifty years my senior,” Tetorted the young officer. “You've behaved in — ‘Stop! stop!” ered old Smith, “don’t go too fart Let me have a word!

The venerable David Dudley Field not long since delivered an in- ‘teresting lecture on the names of the towns in this State, hurling all the invectives in his opulent magazine at the half-learned individual, whoever he may have been, who strewed this goodly region With the cast-off clothing of Greece and Rome, Prof, Dexter, of Yale College, prepared @ very en- tertaining pamphlet on the names of the Connecticut towns, and pointed out that the absence of political color in them bore witness to the diplomatic caution which characterized {the colonial history of the State, thus presenting ‘sharp contrast to the course of’ the elder colony Of Massachusetts, the list of towns in which reads lke a page of “Debrett.” Occasionally a reporter 1n a dry Ume helps out his quota with a scintilla- Uon of ‘wit on the never- theme of the names of his fellow-citizens of Polish extraction if he live in Buffalo, or of those of Welsh_ante- cedents if Utica claims him for her own. But it must be sald that the subject of names generally 1star from being worked for all it is worth, as Mr. Emerson might have put it, ‘The names of towns are often interesting. Some- times a story goes with them, as in the case of Horseheads or Penn Yan. Sometimes they com- Memorate individuals ‘in a quaint manner, such as Wilkes. or Angelica, which bears the name of one of Gen. Schuyler's daughters or Marilla, in Erie County, named after one the most respected and esteemed of the mothers in our Buffalo Israel, who is still with us. 80 Eucltd, Ohio, which, in turn, gave a name to a famous street, was & tribute’ of respect from the original surveyors to their patron saint in math- ematics, Again a name inay illustrate a queer course of corruption, as Killingworth, which ‘Was originally Kenilworth, But ‘the names of towns certainly do not surpass in interest as felds of study those of families. ‘The author of One of the volumes in the “American Common- Wealth” series, Prof. Johnston, says that the Rames of the Union soldiers who went from the State Whose history he 1s telling will almost show which town is entitled to each nan, And it might be remarked that a traveler who reads the signs in the Western cities of this country can gain a Pretty good idea of the antecedents of ts iner- chants.

Interview with a St. Louis Druggist. No one who has sold drugs during the last ‘twenty years can have failed to notice the great change that has taken place in the amount of medicine called for by prescriptions sent us by Physicians, Not one-fifth of the medicine is ad- ministered now that was prescribed ten years ago, and not a physician in the city ever thinks of giv- Ang the doses that were common in 1867. ‘The rea~ Son of this change can be traced directly to home- opathy. ‘The allopathic physicians deny this, but wherever the homeopatiists have not found a foothold the old system continues in nearly undi- minished vigor, and the stronger the homeopathic following the stnaller the allopathic doses. I my- self am an unbeliever in regard to homeopathy, Dut think that it has done a valuable service to the community in delivering them trom the old idea that a dose of medicine was benetictal in proportion to its size and nastiness, ‘This oid be- fet has many adherents in the country, but in the cities 1t has nearly disappeared, greutly wo the Denefit of the community, and nearly every drug- gist in town will acknowledge, if he dare, that it is due to the growth of homeopathy. eee Result of Idleness, From the Scientific American. ‘There is as much danger in hurting the brain by idleness as by overwork. According to a writer in Faithand Work, Dr. Farquharson argues that in- tellectual power is lessened by the listlessness in which the well-to-do classes generally spend their lives. Under such conditions the brain generally loses its health, and although equal to the de- mands of a routine existence, is unable to with- stand the strain of sudden eniergency. So, when a load of work is unexpectedly thrown on it in its unprepared state, the Worst consequences of What may be called overwork show themselves. siml- larly, a man accustomed to sedentary pursuits 13 Ukely to be physically injured by taking suddenly ‘wo violent exercise, AS to the amount of mental work that may safely be done, Dr. Farquharson says: “So long as a brain-worker 1s abie to sleep well, and to take a fair proportion of out-door exercise, i may safely be said that it 1s not necessary to impose any spe- cial limits on ‘the actual number of hours which he devotes to his labors. But when what is gene- erally known as worry steps in to complicate inat- ters, when cares coniected with ramily arrange- ments, or with those numerous personal details which'we can seldom escape, intervenes, or when the dally occupation of fe’ ts tn itself ‘a fertile source of anxiety, then we find one or other of ‘these safeguards broken down,” dial dal ‘The Villain Relented. ‘From Texas Siftings. Some twenty years ago, when Jno. A. Elisler was manager of the Academy of music, in Cleveland, there Was @ man connected with the stock com: pany in the capacity of heavy villain, who, while he Was a good actor, had an inordinate fondness tor sack, to draw it mildly, which he never did We will call him De Budge, which 1s safer than to give his real name, for he 18 living yet, we think. Atleast we will give ourselves the beuetit of te joubt. De Budge was a very tender-hearted man when full of his name. He would weep protusely over any tale of woe, no matter how remote it might be from his own te and environment. He used to say thathe couldn't hurt a fly, and he couldn't, ‘when the barkeeper put it in his lemonade, as bé generally did. One afternoon when tn hus cups De udge Was discovered weeping as though itis heart would break. When asked the cause he sald he was thinking ‘how cruel 1t was to make the Egyptians cross the Red Sea in pursuit of tne Is- raelites without first supplying them with lfe- preservers, You can gather from the above what kind of a heavy villain De Budge was when loaded to the Cay night when the play was “William Tell," De Budge Was cast for the tyrant, , Gessler, an catally avy Dut more temperate Villain appearing as hero of Switzerland, ea De Budge had been budging pretty heavily dur- ing the afternoon, and when he came to his dress ing-room to dress for his part it was observed that ‘he was full. However, he managed to pull through. very well until they came to the scene where Tell Se ‘Wo shoot the apple from his child's “Ferocious monster!” exclaimed Tell. “Make a father murder his own child!” De Budge’s chin began vo quiver, but he managed Wo stamier: “D—a—does he consent?” ‘Tell—“With his own hand!
