Courtship is the last brili ant scene in the maiden life of a woman. It is, to her, a garden where no weeds mingle will) the dowers, hut ail is lovely and beautiful to the sHiises. It is a dish of uilitiii'jales served up by moonlight to the niinjjletl music of many teinlcrne'sses and gentle whisperings and eavrerucss that does not outstej the hounds of delicacy, and a series of fhitter iiiT!T tlinddunjrs, Lijgb pulses, burning clu-eks, an ! ilroopincr laslies. !ut, however delightlul it may be, courtship is, neverthe less, a serious business; it is the first turn ing point in the life of a woman, crowded with perils and temptations. There is as much daioger in the strength of Live a its weakness. The kindled hope requires watchinj. The rose tints of atlectiou daz zle and ..bewilder the imagination, and while' always bearie.o- jM ,ni,,d t:xt jjfy Vil,ut!j love is a wilderness it should not be over looked that true aifcel ion requires solid sup ports. Discretion tempers passion, and it is precisely that quality which, oftener thun any tit her, is found to be absent in court ship. Vounv; ladies in love, therefore, re quire wise counsellors. They should' not trust too much to the impulse's of the heart, nor be too easily captivated by a winning extetior. In tin selection of a husband, character should be considered more than appearance. Young men inclined to intem perate habits, even but slightly so, raivly make good husbands to the end"; they have not suliieient moral stamina to enable them to resist temptation even in its incipient stages and, being thus deficient in self res pect, they can not possess that pure, uucon tanunattd Leiing which alone capacitates a man for rightly appreciating the tender and loving nature of a true woman. The irreligious man is like a ship without a rud der, and he never can make a good hus band, for a house darkened by cold skepti cism or an indifference to religion and its duties is never at home it is merely a shel ter; but there is little warmth in the at mosphere of the rooms, ami every object in them looks chill and chilling. The indo lent man, likewise, cannot be expected to make a good husband, for he neglects hi time and wastes his estate, allowing it to be overrun with thistles and brambles, and subsists on the industry of others. Every precaution, then, is necessary in the selec t ion of a husband. The baggage masters of tin1 different railway lines have had a delightful season the past summer th? number of Saratogas going to and from the summer resorts have been unusually large, aiT-rding the smash ers as much sport as they wished.

An Englishman under sentence of death in London has just succeeded in starving himself to death It is only lately that a condemned man in Massachusetts tried the same thing, but failed. His contemporary was more successful. A London Utter says: IIe received his sentence on the 1st of August, and from that moment he refused to take Ids food, and died on the day he was to be hanged, which was the 12th. It seems, therefore, that a strongman, in good health, can live only twelve days without food. On the first night the governor ot the prison did not think there was any de termination on the part of the prisoner to refuse food, but that his appetite had mere ly forsaken him for the time being through lheseerity of the sentence. On the follow ing day Fly mi still persistently refused to eat anything, and the governor called the attention of the surgeon to the matter. The surgeon advised that he should be tried to breakfast-time the following day, and ii he still continued in his determination to reject his food means should be taken to compel him. Contrary to the expectations of the surgeon, he still held out, and it was decided to bring the siomaeh-purr.p i.n!o re quisition. Up to this time the man had conducted himself with more sulletiness than violence, but when he saw the surgeon and his attendants at the door of his cell with the stomach-pump he seized a stool, and, swinging it over his head, swore he would knock out the brains ot any one who attempted even to enter his cell. They were thu held at bay for some time, but the war e i who had been in attendance on Flynn waiched his opportunity and seized the prisoner round the arms and body and pinioned him while the surgeon and his at tendants succeeded m placing the pipe of the instrument down the man's throat. Finding himself ba filed in his attempts no to allow the use of the instrument, he now became exceedingly violent, and worked his head about in so ferocious a manner that t he interior of his throat was lacerated so much that the surgeon found it useless to attempt to use the pump again. After this the prisoner's boots were removed and slip pers supplied to him; for, seeing the mood he was in, it was thought he miht make u-e of them as weapons of vi. L-i ce.

An Innocent Man Saved from ths Gallows. One of the most, remarkable criminal trials that has ever taken place in this country, was that of Dr. Sehoeppe, recent ly acquitted of the murder of Miss Steinecke, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Our readers will perhaps remember that some two years ago, Dr. Sxdioeppe, a young German physician, was tried on the charge of poisoning his atliauced bride, an elderly maiden lady of large wealth and extensive family connections. Miss Steinecke, whoso death was sudden and mysterious, ami who was attended in her lat illness by the ac cused, had become desperately in love with the voiilhful physician, and the day of their nuptials was near at hand. Her death re cited no remark at the time, as no suspicion of foui play was entertained by any mem ber of her family. When her will wa presented for probate, however, ami it was tor the titl lime ascertained that she had devised h r large estate to her lover, a post mortthi examination ot her body was called for by hi r relatives; and the celebrated chemist, Dr. Aiken, of Baltimore, was sum moned to examine the case, and determine by analysis whether or not Miss Steinecke' death was the result of natural causes, or of poison taken by or administered to her, Dr. Aiken made a thorough, and to his own mind, satisfactory examination. He wan positive that Miss Steinecke had been pois on d, and that pmssie acid had been ad ministered, and had caused her death. Hid testimony was uncontradicted. His tests w ere n gaided by the court ami jury a sufficient for removing ever reasonable doubt of the prisoner's innocence. A ver dict of guilty was accordingly rendered after the close of the evidence and argument of counsel. A new trial, if we remember a aght. w as refused ihe prisoner by the pre siding . I udge, and an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. There seemed to be no doubt in the public mind of the correctness of I he jury's verd.ct. The case Seemed such a plain one that Schoeppe was almost uni versally regarded as a murderer, and tit onlv for the ga!lowsr The prisoner's counsel, on the other hand, never lost hope. They exhibited great vigi a ice and zeal in behalf of their client. 1 he Judge below was over-ruled by the Court of Appeals, and a new trial granted the untoi innate man. On the second trial. Dr. Genth, of I'hdadelphia, regarded by I many phys c ans as the ablest chemist in the Lulled .-slates, was called in by the de fendant, whose testimony tlatly and direct ly contradicted Dr. Aiken's theories, ami coinph tily ovei threw his conclusions. Dr. Genih positively denied that the tests made by Dr. Aiken gave any evidence of poison having been adiinuisiercd to the deceased, and "that even the re agents used by Dr. Aiken would alone have created the poison aiicged by him to have been found in the stomach." Of course this broke down the case of the prosi cutioii. The Solicitor was not able to proceed, and the counsel on both sides sub mitted the case without argument tinder the charge of-his Honor. The Judge' charge was biief but pointed. He congrat ulated the jury upon the fact that an inno cei.t man h id, under IVovidence, been saved from an ignominious death! The jury re turned a verdict, ot not guilty in less than fifteen minutes. The nstilt should have the effect of awakening the public mind to the unrelia bility of medical tests and the uncertainty of scientific testimony. it is hoi i ible to think of an innocent man b i:ig condemned to death either on account ! of the blunders o irofcsscd experts or the contadictory ie. 'lilts obtained from pcien tiiic experiments. Dr. Schoeppe is a free man once more. He stands before the world triumphantly vindicated by a jmy of ids peers; the stain of murder remo'. cd from his character ; hi liberty restored, and his life saved as by a miracle. mat ' Msatal Poorer in Men and Women. Regarding this oft -discussed question, I'rofes-or Maudsley says: "It has been aSlirnied by some philoso phers that there is no essential differetiCft between the mind of a woman and that of a man; and that if a girl were subject d to the same education as a boy hhe would re semble him in tastes, feelings, pursuits and powers.
