I do not like 10 confc as It of my hero, for heroes ought, properly, to be specimens of per fection. I suppose, at least, those of the loMjrJ Timnjrjr; Tif Ihrare type of men icaiuus, Bun mis wa lue reason : His friend, Paul Mortimer, was ever at her side. More than once Charley bad found them enjoying a quiet tete-a tele, and so engrossed in each other that tbev scarcely observed his approach. So tbe tin spark grew into a flame and Increased, and spresd, and threaten ed to devastate tbe young man s lite. Paul Mortimer, dark-eyed, graceful a man of tbe world and possessed of considerable wealth, was a dangerous companion for any wife whose heart waa not anchored safely in home and her husband's love. He was fascinating and well read and had traveled extensively, and knew books and art ; and halt tbe women, foolish ereatores. were breaking their hearts about him. But he eeemed to prefer the society of the Stewarts, and the young husband at length began to complain bitterly, in bis heart, that this man bad come lo monop olize tbe society of bis wife But only in hia heart did he utter the complaint. Ab, there was hts mistake. Had be cone Irankly to bis wife bd in a kind and tenderly way told her the truth, all his after suffering might have teen avoided. There should be no conceal ment between man and wife. Mra Dallas waa to give a reception Mrs. Dallas was a leader in tbe aristo cratic society in which the Stewarts mot ed ; and on the day upon which the invi tations were received Paul Mortimer dropped in upon tbe married pair. They lived in a perfect gem or a cot tage, all bay winnows ana Daiconies, in the midst of a sloping, green, velvet-like awn, dotted with gay flower bed, and here and there a statute gleaming white "Shall yon be up at the reception to night, Stewart?" queried Mortimer. Charlie, lounging idly upon a sola with cigar in bis mouth, elevated his eye- brows slightly. "If my wife goes, of coarse," he re Hponded gravely. May I make one of your party?" continued Mortimer eagerly. "To be sure," chimed in Marguerite, "we shall be pleaed shall we cot, Char lie?" So what could Charlie Stewart do but echo bis wife's invention ? When Mortimer arose to take hie de parture Mrs. Stewart fluttered from the mom' for a moment, and just as he was ahoul to leave the hoot: tbe j -alone eyes of her husband saw distinctly that she slipped a letter into Paul Mortimer's hand. He etifled a groan and clenched bis hands in silent agony, and for an instant be almost hated bis wife. She, sweet, cool, smiling, came to his side. "Charlie," ehe began cqazingly, "let ne gi.ye a reception F I particularly de sire it, and would like to sppoint the night following the affiir at Mrs. Da!- "As you like," he returned moodilyt closing hia ee wearily as though he' had no more to say. Bnt the demon of Jealous mistrust was in bie heart, and at that moment I think Charley Stewart could have killed this man who bad hitherto been his dearest friend. For fee felt convinced that the engagement bad been prearranged and all tended to one fa al denouement Going to Mrs Dallas' reception only added fuel to tbe flame of Charles Stew, art's jealousy, and furnished him some more apparently tangible ground for it. Entering tbe conservatory late in the eveniog he came upon his wife etanding beside a feathery palm tree, and at her side, pale and anxious, Paul Mortimer. H was gazing into her face, his dark, handsome eyes fell of apparent concern ; her face was rsised with a look of eager interest, a petty, pink flush upon tbe rounded cheeks, and ber soft eyes shin ing like stars. ' You will consent?" Paul was saying in a boshed, earnest voice; "it shall be to-morrow night, then, afier the recep tion is over. Remember, tbe hsppineas of all my future life rests upon your de cision," Charlie Stewart caught bis breath in sgony; a cold perspiration streamed from hia clammy brow; he clutched wildly at bia heart as though to tear it from his breast ; for he felt that bis hon or bis life itself, bung upon ber answer Aad at leat that answer came, quiet, grave, decided : . "I will!" Repressing the anguished cry upon his Hps tbe young husband left. He knew the worst now. His wife was false lo him false, false ! A demon tongue seemed to whisper the word over and over to bis tortured heart ; his last hope in life was- gone. It all seemed unreal and dream like to him ; perhaps it was a frightful vision from which be would soon awake, and, thank God, it had been only a dream. Ah! no! it was no vision, no dread ful fancy conjured up from bis imagina tion; for there she was now coming from the conservatory whither she had gone to meet ber lover ; she. Marguerite Stewart, whom he had believed as pure as a pearl. He crouched in a deserted corner of one of the great rooms and his eyet: fol lowed her slight, graceful figure with a hungry stare. How very lovely she was. No wonder men thought her peerless. Her trailing dress of pale pink crepe was looped with creamy-white roses; there was a knot of the same fragrant blossoms upon ber corsage and a half opened bud In her dark braids. Simple and perfect, she was lair and sweet as 'he flowers she wore. He caught bis breath with an anguish ed moan; then, as his eyes fell upon the tall, graceful form of Paul Mortimer still at ber side, be slatted to hia feet. Henceforth this man was his enemy. One or them must die ! Tbe temptation u ailed itself, like an unclean reptile, into his heart His temples throbbed wildly, his cold hands clenched convulsively ; be darted through an open French window, leading out into the beautiful grounds which surrounded tbe Dallas mansion. Up and down, in a retired corner of tbe garden be paced wildly ; for tbe time his brain was deranged and reason un seated. After a while tbe fresh air began to cool bis fevered brain and gradually he grew calmer. With calmness came re flection and be began to stare the situa lion in the face. ' AJd a, ' it fAISi Since Marguerite had learned to care for this man this friend who bad stolen into his peaceful borne like a thief in tbe night and robbed bim of all tbat made life worth living for, let her marry Paul Mortimer and be happy, if she could ; but tbat could never be while he, Charles, lived. There was but one alternative then- be himseU OMAidie! . - It was a wild, ghastly thought which crept like s dark shadow over bis heart. With a sudden accession of coolness be turned and re-entered the house to play bis part a little longer. Marguerite came to bim at once, and alarmed at his white face insisted that they should go borne. He placed her in 'he carriage, folio wed her inside, and even forced himself to talk a little as they were driven borne ward; and all ibe while that demon tongue kept repeating over and over: "False, false, false!" Arrived at home Marguerite went to her room, hut Charlie escaped to the li brary and closed tbe door behind him. He bad a duty to perform, and after that welt, since she wss false he was tired of life, and would "drop it like a worn out garment. He remembered with a sort of pitying sadness tbat he bad made ample prov.s ion for ber future; there waa nothing left to do then but write a line and rzplain so be seated nimseli ami wrote such a tetter; telling her all, and tbat wbep be was gone ehe would be free to marry tbe man of ber choice. When .the ghastly letter was finished he placed it upon tbe atudy table, then opened a drawer, took forth a tiny toy of a revolver loaded with six good sure bullets. He laid the cold muzz'e against bis forehead, and with a mattered prayer for mercy plaeed his finger on tbe trig ger. Meanwhile, up stairs, Marguerite hav ing donned a white wrapper was brush ing oat her shining hair. There was a strange, oppressive reel ing in her heart aomething unaccount ablewhich filled her with vague alarm Suddenly she sprang to hr reel. Be fore her mind she seemed to see a gory visiorr her husband all bleeding and ghastly. In all her life Marguerite could not explain nor understand tbe strange conviction that something wss wrong. She fled from her chamber, down stairs to tbe library. The door was not lock ed ; she turned the kooh softly and peep ed in. God ! Her husband was standing be fore the marble mantel, the mnzzle or a revolver pnssed against hia temple! With a sudden spring she was at bis side, and before be knew it had struck the weapon from his band. She threw her arms about bis neck and fainted dead away. Or coarse there was an explanation when she came back to life again ; and Charlie Stewart realized what a fear ful deed he had about committed, and all for tbe sake of an imaginary wrong the phantasy of his own brain. For it seemed that Paul Mortimer loved Marguerite's only sister, bnt be had been forbidden tbe house by ber fa- tber, who, somehow, was sadly prejudi ce.! against Mr. Mortimer. In his trouble tbe young man bad ap pealed to Marguerite to use her influence with ber father; and, she, believing her husband's good opinion of Mortimer to be the true one, bad 'been doing all that lay in her power; conveyiog messages to and from the two lovers, as well as letters. At the reception given by Mrs. Dal Iss, the affair was brought to a termina tion, and Marguerite waa enabled to in form the anxious lover, that at last her lather had relented ; aad ber own recep tion, to be given the following night, was for tbe purpose of announcing the engagement publicly. The only sin or which Maguerite bad been guilty or was the concealment from her husband ; and tbat bad been prac ticed that she might give him a pleasant surprise, Paul Mortimer being bis best friend. Ashamed and contrite, Charlie Stew art be ought his wife to pardon him for the wrong that be bad done ber; which. or course, she was raadv to do. Tbe wedding or Paul Mortimer and the young giil who had, unwittingly, been the cause of so much sorrow, was solemnized not long afier. And wben Marguerite kissed her sis ter's cheek, as the bridal party were about to start on tbe wedding tour, she whispered this advice, which I repeal for tbe benefit of all young wives: "No matter what happens, dear," sbe said, "don't keep a secret from your bus bard. No woman should " "No woman can," cried Paul, who had overheard the injunction. , Bat Charlie, standing near, looked as if he knew better. . IngersoU's Eloquence. Inter Ocean.

CHICAGO. LYNCH, 1 MISSISSIPPI NEGRO, DOWNS THE BLAINK CANDI DATE FOR TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN, And Upsets all Previous Cal- dilations. Chicago, Jane 3 At 12.24 o'clock p m., the Chair announced that the hour having arrived for tbe meeting of tbe eighth Republican Convention, the Con vention would now be opened hy prayer by the Rev Frank Bristol, of Chicago. . Prayer was then offered by Mr Bris tol. The call for tbe Convention was then read by Hon. John A. Martin Sec retary of tbe National Committee. Chair man Sabin on behalf of the Republican uomraitice cauea me L-onvent.on t? or der iu its name. Sabin's Speech. He said Chicago was known as the Convention City. It was tbe field of Republican victory. Here it wks that the immortal patriot, Abraham Lincoln, was chosen. Here it nominated that honored soldier, tbat great stateaman, that representative citizen, James A. Gar field. Cheers Every action of party on this historic ground had been follow ed by victory. Having succeeded against its opponents on all former occasions it was about to put its house in order for another conflict. As a consequence o' the vote adopted by the last Convention, the present body was largely made up of men instructed by their own constitu ents, and it was therefore to be hoped tbat the voice or tbe people would be largely present in its deliberations Ap plause He closed with an expression or hope for victory and proposed for temporary Chairman Hon Powell Clay ton, or Arkansss. The Gage ot Battle. Whee tbe chairman bad concluded and mentioned the name of Cay ton, Mr. H C. Lodge of Massachusetts, rose and proposed the name of John R. Lynch, of Mississippi. He said they recog nized tbe claims or the South and there fore he had proposed this name as one acceptable to tbe Republican Convention. Silas B. Dutchner, ot Ndw York, sec onded the nomination of Lynch. At this point a great sensation waa created by a speech trom W. W. Moirow, of California. He said tbat harmony was essential. That peace could not be se cured by raising factional issues. It had been the practice for forty years for the National Committee to select tbe tempo rary chairman or the Convention and a departure could not bow be made from the custom without creating bitterness or reeling. There were several delegatea on their reel to reply bat tbe chairman recognized George Wm. Curtis, of New York Tbe announcement was greeted with wildest applause. Mr Curtis said this was the supreme council of the party. Repressntatives were met to open the campaign ot 1884. It bad been unquestionably customary for tbe National Committee to name the tempo rary Chairman and lor the Convention to ratify it. But if the ptrty as here represented so desired it also unques tionably had the right to reverse the ac tion of tbe National Committee in this matter and make a Chairman of its own choosing. , ,T , . . , ,TJie Boll Call.

A scene of the wildest confusion en sued. Delegates rose in their seats and shouted. The demonstration. ebeered, swung hats and spectators joined in the Oo motion tbe vote was made unani mous. The Chairman appointed Powell Clayton, of Arkansss, H. C Lodge, of Massachusetts, and W. N. Taft, of South Carolina, to escort Lynch to the Chair. Aa the committee appeared the applause was hearty and tbe feeling of disap pointment seemed to disappear. Mr. Lvncb made a good impression by his quiet and modest demeanor. ' Mr. Lvnch on taking the chair, said 'Gentlemen oi ibe convention, I feel that I ought not to t.' -vi ' say bat thank you' for electing me to the chair but I do not. Nevertheless from the standpoint tbat no patriot should fail to respond to bisj country s call, tbat no loyal member of bis party should fail to comply with the demand of bis party, I yield with reluc tance to your decision and assume the duties of tbe position to which you have assigned me. Every member of this convention who approached me on this subject within tbe last few hours knows that this position was neither expected Nor Desired by Me. If. therefore, there is any such thing as a man having honors thrust upon bim you have an exemplification of it in this instance. Laughter and applause I came to this convention not for the purpose of securing the vote of any man or the success of any man, hut for the purpose of contributing to the extent of my vote and my influence to make Re publican success in November next an assured fact. Applanse 1 I hope and believed that tbe assembled wisdom ot the Republican party of this N tti in through its chosen representatives in this hail will so shape its platform and will present such candidates before tbe American people as wiil make victory beyond a shadow of a doubt. So far as tbe candidates tor the Presidential nomination are concerned I don't wib any gentleman to feel tbat my election (by your vote) is indicative of anything relative to tbe preference of one candi date oyer another. I am prepared and I hope tbat every member of tbis conven tion is prepared to return to his boms with an unmistakable determination to give to the candidates of tbis conven tion hearty suDport, whoever they may be. Cheers The Case. The court and jary, as well as the spec tators, generally enj the scene when a alwyer, In an attempt to badger or brow beat a witness, comes off second best in the encounter. A contemporary recalls an amusing instance or tbis sort which happened a few years ago in ao Albany court-room Tbe plaintiff, who was a lady, waa called to testify. She got on very well, and made a favorable impres sion on tbe jury under tbe guidance or ber counsel, Hon. Lyman Tremaine, until the opposing counsel, Hon. Henry Smith, subjected ber lo a sharp cross-examination. This so-confused her that sbe be came faint and fell to tbe floor in a swoon. Of coarse this excited general sympathy in tbe audience, and Mr. Smith saw that his caae looked badly. An expedient suggested itself by which to make the swooning appear like a piece of stage mockery, and thus destroy sym pathy for ber. Tbe lady's face in swoon ing had turned purple red, and this fact suggested tbe new line or attack. Tbe next witness was a middle-aged lady. Tbe counsel asked, "Did you see the plaintiff faint a short time ago, madam ?" "Yes, sir .". "People generally tarn pale when they faint, do tbey not?" ' Great sensation in court and evident confusion of witness. Bat in a moment sbe answered, "No, not always." DM you ever bear of a case of faint ing where the party di I not tarn pale I" "Yes, sir." ' Did you ever see such a caBe?" "Yes, sir." "When?" "About a year a?,o." "Where was it?" "In tbis city." "Who was it?" by tuts time the excitement was so intense tbat everybody listened anxious ly for the reply. It came promptly, with a twinkle in the witness's eyes and a tremor of her lip, as if from suppressed humor. "It was a negro, sir." "Peal after peal of laughter shook the court room, in which the venerable judge joined. - Mr. Smith lost bis case. Youns; Man, Untie tbe Strings." Said one of the most successful mer chants of Cleveland, Ohio, to a lad who was opening s psrcel. "Young man, an. tie the strings; do not cut them." It was the flrt remark that he had made to a new employe. It was tbe first lesson the lad bad to learo, and it involved the principles of success or failure in his business career. Pointing to a well-dressed man behind the coun ter, he said : "There is a man wbo always whips out ti is scissors and cuts the strings of 'he packages in three or four pieces. He is a good salesman, but he will never be any thing more. I presume he lives from band to moutb. and is mere or less in debt. The trouble with bim is that he was never taught to save. "I told tbe boy just now to untie the strings, not so much for the value of tbe strings as to teach him tbat everything is to be saved and nothing wasted. If tbe idea can be firmly impressed upon tbe mind of a beginner in life that noth ing was made to be wasted, you have laid the foundation of success." For Better or tor Worse. The following is from an opinion ren dered by tbe Supreme Court of Iowa: She chose a drunkard for a husband, and she ought to perform the duties ot drunkard's wife. She does not show tbat her personal safety or even her well being requires her to leave him She doubtleas would have lived more comfortably in the society or a sober man, hut she ought, lo have considered, and doubtless did consider-, discomforts of a drunken husband, wben sbs mar ried tbe defendant. But she urges he promised reformation before marriage. His failure to keep bis promise did not justify her deserting him. All tbe world knows tbat such promises made by a drunken man are alwaya broken. In a few words, as she knowingly married a drunkard, she mast be content to be a drunkard's wife." Catarrh. The remarkable results in a disease so universal and with such a variety or characteristics as Catarrh, prove how ef fectually Hood's Sarsaparilla acting through tbe blood, reaches eveiy part of tbe human system. A medicine, like anything else, cane lairly judged only by its results. We point with pride to I toe glorious record Hood's Sarsaparilla has entered upon the hearts of tbou- sands of people it has cured of catarrh. A Sell-Controlled Youth. Youth' Companion. Young men do not realize as they should tbe importance of early forming habits of seir-control and self-denial Not a few men of genius have been wrecked because they did not learn in youth to deny themselves a temporary pleasure for tbe sake of a permanent benefit. When John Qiincy Adams was but 'ourteen t ears of age he was selected by Francis Dana, United Sta'es Minister to Russia, as bis private secretary. Boy though he was, young Adams resisted the social pleasures of court life at St Petersburg, that he might give himself to his official duties, and to the study of Latin, German and French, and to a course of English history. Subsequent ly he resided at Stockholm and at fans. In both these gay and dissolute cities he was his own master. But instead of yielding to social temptations, this boy of eighteen resolutely continued at bis studies. While hard at mental work iu Paris, his father, John Adams, was ap pointed minister to the Court of St. James. London's literary and social privilege would have been open to the son of the American minister. His fa ther would have been pleased to have had bim in his family. The temptations to remain abroad were many and strong But the youth turned his back upon them all, and decided to return to tbe United States and fit himself to earn his own living. He wrote in his disry : "If I accompany my father to Lon don, my satisfaction would probably be greater than my returning to tbe Uaited States ; but I shall loiter away my pre cious time and not go home until I am forced to it. My father has been all his lifetime occupied by tbe interests of the Dublic. His own fortune has suffered His children mast provide for them selves. I am determined to get my own living, and lo be dependent upon no one. With a tolerable share of common sense, I hope, in America, to be independent and free Rather than live otherwise, I would wish to die before my time." We have q toted several lines of this entry, because we would call attention to the fact that this boy of eighteen res olutely put aside congenial pleasures in order to become self-reliant and self-sup porting. He was a rising lawyer when, at the age of twenty-seven, tbe President ap pointed him U ated States Minister at the Hague He tilled tbe place. His official duties were thoroughly attended to, and a little of his time was given to those social dntiea which his position imposed But most of his leisure hours were employed in studying diplomsoy, tbe E lglish and Latin classics, and the Dutch and Italian languages. At night be reviewed the day, and censured him self if any duty bad been omitted. At the close or every month and year he took an inventory of his moral and men tal stock to determine whether he had gained or lost. In 1809, Mr. Adams becune oar min ister at the Court or St. Petersburg. He found himself in tbe midst of splendor. Court life was full ot" entertainments, and magnificent banquets were given bv tbe foreign ministers But John Adams continued to live, in a simple style, as befitting bis small salary and more be coming the representation of the R pub lie. Merchants urged him to accept loans of money, He refused tbe offerj, though the temptation to an expensive stvle of living amounted almost to com pulsion. ' I will live within my incomo, and I will not anticipate my salary," he said, witn Spartan firmness. Mr. Adams' simple style of living kept him in good health and gave him leisure to indulge his thirst for knowl edge. Yet the days seemed too short to tbe student who studied astronomy, mathematics, Plato, Demosthenes, Soc rates, M chines and Cicero. "I feel nothing like tbe tediousness of time," he wrote in his diary. "I suffer nothing like ennui. Time is too short for me, rather than too long. If the day was forty-eight hours instead of twenty-four, I could employ them all." Oar puraose will be served, if we shall have induced one young man to imitate John Quincy Adams' self-reliant and studious habits The country, tbe chur ches and society need thousands of such self-reliant youths. Loss ot Form. After women pass middle age they lose a considerable amount of their height, not by stooping, as men, but by actual collapse, sinking down; this is mainly to be attributed to the perishing of the muscles that support the frame in consequence of habitual and constant pressure of corset and dependence up on tbe artificial support by tbem afford ed. Every girl wbo wears corsets that press upon these muscles and restrict the free development or the fibres that form them, relieving them of their nat ural duties of supporting the spine, in deed incapacitating them from so doing, may reel sore she is preparing herself to be a dumpy woman. A great pity ! Failure or health among women wben that vigor ot youth passes away is but too patent and bat too commonly caus ed by this practice. Let tbe man who admires tbe pieces of pipe that does duty for a human body picture to himself the wasted form anil seamed skin. Most women, from long custom of wearing these corseis, are really unaware how much they are hampered or restricted. A girl of twenty intended by nature to be one of ber finest specimens gravely assures one that her corsets are not tight, being 'ha same size as those ehe was first put into, not perceiving her con demnation in tbe fact that she has sinoe grown five inches in height and two in shoulder breadth. Her corsets are not too tight because the oonstant pressure has prevented the natural development of heart and lung space. The dainty waist or the poets is precisely that flex ible alimness that is destroyed ' by cor sets. Tbe form resulting from tbem is not slim, but a. piece of pipe, and not quite as flexible.

How is it tbat lazy men manage to make a mark In tbe world ? Tbe poet Thompson wroe some of his best ver ses in bed. The philosopher Aloott, of Concord, in this State, was, I am told by an ex-Concordian, a very indolent man when in his prime. Tbey used to say in Concord tbat the Platonic philos opher would gently acquiesce in the do ing of all the bard household work by his daughters, who have since come to fame. But his mind was far, far away with the philosophers or India or Ger many. Thoreau, I am convinced, was just las'. Hj liked to loaf and invite his soul seven days in the week. The same ex-Concordian tells me tbat if it had not been for the surreptitious con veyance of baskets of provender to tbe hot of tbe hermit out on tbe shores of Lake Walden, Thoreau would have stsrved It is easy to play independence of the world wben your sisters fry dough nuts for you and send yon cold corned beef on the quiet. Ex-Governor Kent of Maine, now dead, was an easy-going man. Wben a student of Harvard he was President of tbe "Lazy 'Club," and one day was actually seen running across the college campus After a suitable delay, for the Lazy Club cculd not bar ry anything, he was tried, and his plea, wbicb had to be accepted, was that he had been poshed by some one and was too lazy to stop himself. Another slow goer was the late Hon. Ensign Kellogg or Pittsfleli He was a brilliant man, or great strength of mind, and held some high offices, the latest being tbat of commissioner under the treaty of Washington. He could have been Gov ernor and almost anything else, but he would rather pat on a slouch hat and go a-fisbing than exert himself overhard Another public man in this State wbo has been nearer the Governorship than he will ever be again is so Issy that his friends can not poke him up to any work, and he vegetates in a small town, smok ing and reading papers and books. Keen wits, brilliancy of mind, and extraordin ary talents seem continually cojoinei with bodily indolence. But, after all, a lazy man is to be ad mired in these rushing, toiling days when heart disease is oo tjie increase, and men wstoh tbe "ticker" and drop dead with excitement at an unfavorable quotation. I don t believe a man destitute of the capacity to loaf once in a while has much staying power. Men need to lie fallow occasionally. Rev. Dr. Bellows or New York used to betake himself.
