I.ycry since Mr. mid Mrs. Paolo had
been married they bad teen in the habit
of taking a Sunday afternoon walk to
gether. They nere not fashionable
people, for they only kept a little shop
for the sale of coulcctionery aid small
re-works. Patks of crackers lay stile
by side; long rocket sticks, red, white,
and blue, were dis,lned to the best ad
vantage; and j;rs of Fietich mixed and
peppermint-drops faced other jars of
moti-drops and licoitcp; while under
the counter, stored s:ifely away, was
one little keg of gun-ponder.
It was a but day altcrnoon, mid of
course the shop as closed but to day
Mr. and Mrs l'uolo ntrc not going out
to walk. They had quaireiled over their
noontide dinner, and Mrs. Paolo had
old Mr. Paolo that she wisl ed she bad
not muirii d him and he bud ui snered
that he wished she had not. Now they
were sitting apart sulking he in the
back parlor, she in her upstairs bed
room. -Slie bad been crying, and be
bad been furiously angry, and both had
decided that they bad made a grand
mistake and only desired to be separated.
This is what they bave told me mar-
ri ipo UrtU"ht upon a man, said iir.
anlo.
"Mother always said that husbands
generally ill-used their wives alter they
had bfen married a yar, said Mrs.
ai.lt U) herself. All the world seemed
dark t: each, and each desired to pol ish
the ulher lor it.
At last Mrs. Paolo thought of a plan.
She would go out ai.d walk by herself.
that would make bun hoely angry when
he came down. He should see she
could be very happy wiltout him, ery
Aud with boiling blood and achioghead,
she dressed herself in her best, put on a
nil to hide her face, and slatted .upon
the most miserable walk she bad etcr
taken In her life. It seemed as though
people could sen straight down into her
heart, and knotf what was passing there
Ihat she was set npnrt as a woman
who bad oust relied with her husband
Other wives passed her leaning on their
husbands arms.
There weie girls with their Inters,
How Paolo used to make love to ber,
(Jld Couples, who bad lived together
more years than she bad known in the
world. Ah. when she was old, how
would it be? Miseiaule little woman
At last she. found her way to the little
rk, where, two jeais before, Paolo
bad proposed to her, and sal down under
the very tree and lent her Head against
"All is over," said poor little Mrs
Paolo ; "but bow sweet it was." Then
she arose and walked slowly home'
ward.
Meanwhile Mr. Paolo had come to
the conclusion that in no way could he
so puuish little Mrs. Paolo as by goii g
out uloue to take his Sunday walk
Consequently he put on his hat and
went erv Quietly nut of the door
through which his wife bad slipped
little while before, lie had the advan
tage of not having swollen his nose and
reddened bis eyes by crying, but he wus
a very miserable looking tutu.
In order to look lolly, be lit a cigar
as he went out, and threw the wulch to
ward the fireplace, not unlici C that the
still lighted ed touched the carpet
Then he inarched down the street, but
his ri""f H1 not "iv? h'fl lb ir h d
sired.
Happy couples walked before him
arm in arm. no saw a jolly yonn,
low wllh his arm about his sweetheart'
waist; he alone was lonely, desolate, un
loved. So the unhappy couple walked the
streets at a block's distance from each
other, believing the other at home.
Each 6i) wretched that the. bright day
seemed dull, aud lite sweet air poison
ous. At last Mr. Paolo, like his wife, re
membered the pretty paik wheie be bad
make lote to her, aid went thither; he
sat down on the old bench under the
old tree, and rested his head against
it. "It's all over," sighed poor Mr.
Paolo; "but how hippy we were.
Tltcn he also arose and walked slowly
and sadly home in the gloaming.
How pleasant it used to be, Mr.
Paolo thought, as though he were think
ing of ages gone, instead of last week
how pleasant it used to be to some
borne together aid eat the nice little
supper aud talk over the people they
had seen, and plan what their walk
should be next week.
When they were separated as they
would be, of course bow be would re
member it all I He sat down upon the BISHOP
step of a corner store and felt as though
he could not enter, the hooie that was
now only the grave of their domestic
peace.
At the iime moment Mrs. -PjoIo
paused at another corner and looked
towards her home. There was the
sweet th ugh humble place to -hich
Paolo hod brought her in her bonty
moon. When they were separated, she
said to herself, she should see over and
over again the dear little back parlor,
the pretty tea-table, aud Paolo opposite
her.
"On I dear, I can't go in," said Mrs
Paolo to herself. "He's siltine i there,
angry and brutal, wishing we had never
been married."
I've a mind not U jo in," said Mr.
Paulo, "She is sulkino in her room, so
different from what T thought her, wish
ing she had never married me.
Lttle did those two people guess ttt
that moment that they rcver should
tcr tuat aoor asatn, out it was so.
nst as she took a step forward, and as
he arose, a horrible explosion shook the
street, and their house came flying out
of its o"u windows.
The spatk from Mr. Paolo's match
hud been all this ti.re creeping slowly
over the carpet until it reached the door
f the store. 1 here it might have dead
ened out, hut that, in her temper, Mrs,
loin had thrown the newspaper upon
the floor. The spark caught this with
light, flashed into a blaze, and caught
mckct-stick and went under the
counter to tlie barrel of gunpowder.
So their hoove came nut of its win
dows to meet Mr. and Mrs. Paolo.
Fortunately there was an empty lot
on one side, and a half finished house
on the other. Only the Paolo's house
suffered ; but the street was full of pee-
pie in an inslaut, and amidst thena
rushed the little woman, shrieking :
Oh, my husband I I left him in that
horrible house 1" and rau against a
in un who was creaming s
Let me puss I Lt ine pass I I will
die with my wile, II 1 cannot save
her-"
It was Paolo, In that moment those
two foolish people h'ad discoved that
they loved each other just as well as
ever ; that that Dome might have been
ns happy a phce ; that they bad only
had a ridiculous little quarrel.
Pushing the woman before him out of
his way, the man flew on ; but the
woman caught him by the arm.
"Oh 1 oh 1 ynu re not dead 1 sho
scsramed. ' Oh, my dar ing 1"
O'.i, my love, you ore here ui
hurt?" said he.
And kissing each other, they forgot
the burning home aud their losses, and
the poverty that must come. They bud
enrh other again, und those miserable
hours were quite blotted out.
"Did you notice Mr. and Mrs. Paolo f
said the friend who entertained them in
their homelessoess that night. "How
plain it is that they have never bad
any quarrels I They are really married

WHITTLE ON
DANCING.
ROUND
Bishop Whittle's address t the Kpis
copul Council at Lynchburg, Friday, in
cludes the following e'irne.-t denuncia
tion of the fashionable dance :
DEMORALIZING DISSIPATION ItOUND
DANCINO.
In his address to the Council of 172
my venerated predecessor earnestly
warned communicants against tlie incon.
sisttney of indulging in "demoralizing
dissipation," which hu denounced as
"that lascivious mode of promiscuous
dancing styled the rouud dance " "This
scandal," fie srrid. "is not t'J be toler
ated In the Church of Christ. Let every
appeal be made in the way of ulfuction
ate remonstrance, judicious teaching,
and earnest prayer for tho refor nation
of those led astray, if Cod pcrudveu
tare will give them repeiitnncc. If all
such efforts prove unavailing, and to re
move the scandal, and at thu same time
employ the lust expedient lor awaking
the offjndcr to a sense of bis sin und
danger, it becomes necessary to resort
to the exercise ol decided discipline, it
must be done." I adopt this language
as my own that he, being dead, may yet
speak on this important matter. Per
haps his words struck some as being too
strong ind harsh when they were first
uttered who think very differently now,
alter six vein's observatmu and exper
ience. Certain it is that many of our
wisest and best people, ministers ai d
laymen, judging the tree by its fruits,
have become alarmed lest the effect of
this
WUEADFfL EYIL
of round dancing shall be uut only to
injure pure and un defiled religion, but
even to sup the very foundations of all
social virtue and morality. I will not
discuss its character a, id consequences;
for while St Paul wrote to the church in
hnhosus that it was a shame even to
speak of those things which were done
by some in secret, I should feel ashamed
even to speak as the truth would require
of this thine which is done openly be
fore all. I will only say that 1 trust no
man or woman will he presented for
confirmation who means to continue to
participate iu this abomiuution, an.1 il
the ministers of the Church have no au
thonty to discipline cummutiicauls as
"notorious evi -lovers who practice
surely this Council should not fail
clothe them with such authority

worth snviug. r ..... '
Mr, Johnstop las always .rnsiptained
that his wile's lack of faith in him was
due to an unfortunate accident that
occurred in Connection with au attempt
made by him to manufacture rico grid
dle Cakes. As ho justly says, cooking
has nothing to do with invention, and
it is unjust to discredit his inventive
genius simply because he once made a
mistake in conking. . ilia circumstances
of the affair were these :' ".'Mr. Johnston,
who had repeatedly louild Isinlt with bis
bacaUa-t, rcuuikcd ou . one occasion
that his wife seemed absolutely incap
able of learning to make rice griddle-
thereupon that indignant
womao announced that she should refuse
to have anything to do with the oext
day's breakfast, and should lay the
hole burden of Us preparation upon
her husband's shoulders. "Of course,"
she added, "you know how to make rice-
cakes better than the Angel Gabriel,
and you can iust show, for once, what
clean the kitchen and an Irishman (a
carry away the inirciil"ii3 batter.
Naturally bis wife taunted hitu with his
culinary failure, but ' tho unprejudiced
mind will admit that it cngU m t to
have cast any discredit on his inventive
powers.
This, however, is mere;y told in di-
fens of Mr. Johnston against unde
served criticism.' As to one nf his recent
Inventions, which cast u cloud of gloom
over Oshkosh, it must bn admit led that
he made a disastrous inistnke, th nigh
ho was actuated by the best ol niutivo-i.
Mrs. Johnson was in the habit of com-
lainlng that she found it exceedingly
tiresome to operate her sewing mtchine,
and her affectionate hushand determined
0 nupply some other power than the
female foot to the machine. After
experimenting with galvanic batteries
until ho had burned two coals and a
csrpet with acid, and ofter having tried
in vain to construct a steam engine
which would not (ill half the space of the
room is which it wns placed, ho fell
back upon clock wuik. In course of
tune he make a really beantilul engine
woiked exclusively by cl.iek-.vork, and
fitted it t. the semug machine. V ueo
wound up it would operate the m iichne
for five consecutive hours, and ufier
adding to the latter an improved device
for holding cloth and leading it under
the needle, he felt that he was a bene
factor to the female sex, and a worthy
successor of Morso and the inventor of
the steam engine. Mrs. Johnson was
delighted with the new invention when
it was explained to her. aid lealily
agreed that the neighbors should bo
invited to see it in upcratiuu for the first
time.
The neighbors responded hcar;ily t
the invitation, and at 7 :30 on the third
day of the present month Mr. Johnston's
drawing room was filled with the lead
ing citizens of Oshkosh and their wives.
At 8 o'clock Mrs. Johnston sat down to
her sewing machine, and undertook to
run a double gusset in a new dressing
grown designed for her husband. The
clock-wot k was wound up, the machine
was started, and tho gusset was st'tched
with twice the rapidity usual iu such
cases. Unfortunately, the machine did
not stop when il hud finished its allotted
wmk, but continued to stitch the
dressing-gown until it became faiily
"quilted. Probibly it would have
gone on and converted the cloth into a
compact bundle, sewed and re-sewed a
dozen times, had not .'Irs. Johnson come
to the rescue and endeavored to cut the'
thread. She did succeed iu rescuing
the cloth, but at the same moment tho
demoniacal machine l'aston!d upon her
clothing and proceeded to sew it with
insatiable energy. Vainly did Mr. J, (ha
sten try to stop bis clock wmk, and
vainly did he try to drag hii wife away
The machine rapidly gathered her skirts
into Us uubuly clutches, and there was
every prospect that after the skirts were
finished it would proceed to hem Mis
Johnston herself, und possibly to put
series of gusots in portions of her
frame where they were not needed
Luckily, there was one leading citizen
present, a young physician, who retained
his presence of mind. He seized his
knife and cut the fastenings of Mrs,
Johnston's that is to say, he cut her
loose. 1 he machine was compelled U
satisfy its rapacity upon her skirts alone
while the unhappy lady was wrapped in
a table clolb aud removed to ber private
room.
This is why Mrs. J.ilisten is at least
justified in denouncing her husband's
invention. She was wrong about the
rice-cakes. There is no doubt she did
him injustice in that matter; but it
equally clear that her experience with
the sewing machine motor is a valid
excuse for her present views as to her
husband. The event was cer'uinly a
deolorable one, and public opinion in
(Uikosh is deeldely unfavorable ta Mr.
Johustaa as on inventor. '
for that purpose, suddenly paused, and,
af cr I S t nii g a few inomei ti, declared
most soUumly he hrad a low, . gulteral
sound which appeared to proceed from
fie shark. The sailors, after er loving a
hcuity laugh nt h;s expense, proceeded
ti listen for themselves, alien they were
compelled to admit they heaid a similar
srund. They then proceeded to open
the slunk, when the mystery was explained.
It appears the sailor was not dead,
but in a trance; and his son, on miking
tl.W discovery when iesi.lo the shark,
had, by means of his knife, ripped open
thu blanket. Having thus liberated his
father, they bulb went to work and
righted up tho old griuJstono. The boy
was turning, the father was holding on
the old ship-carpenter's ax, sharpen
ing it for the purpose of cottier their
way out f tneir Jonuh-like prison,
which occasioned the noise beard by
the Miilor. As it was the hottest sea
son of the year, und very little air
stirring where they were at work, they
were b itli .'sweating tremendously.

A VERITABLEFISH -STORY.
We fete making a voyage from the
Wi Jadiet to . New York, when the
ship-fever broke nut among the crew.
One of the sailors among the first
victims was accompanied by his son, a
lad of 11 years, who was strongly at
tached to his father, and remained with
h'un day and night, ansl never could be
persuaded te leave bis sick father for a
momrni.
A Inrce shark was aseti every dv fal
lowing tke vessel,' evidently for the pur
pose ol devouring any one who should
die and be committed to the deep.
Alter lingering a few days the sailor
died. As was tbe custom at sea, he was
sewed up in a blanket, and for the pur
pose of sinking h'un an old grindstone
and a carpenter ax were put in with
htm. 1 he very impressive services
of the Episcopal Church was then
read, and the body committed to the
deep. '
The poor boy, who had watched the
proceedings closely, plunged lo after his
father, when aa enormous shark swal
lowed them both. The second day
after this dreadful scene, as the shark
continued to follow tbe vessel fur there
were others ick in. the ship one of the
sailors proposed, ns they had shatk
hooks on board, to make au effort te take
him.
' They fastened the hook to & larce
rope, and, biting it with a piece of pork,
threw it into the sea, and the shark
Instantly swallowed ' it. ' Having thus
bonked him, by means of a windlass
they hoisted him on beard. After he
was dead they prepared to open him,
when ooe of tbe sailors, stooping - down
