Every woman who has kept house has had more or less "picked up" dinner. Thero comes a day when you aro un usually busy. The forenoon slips away before you know it, and you resolve on a picked up dinner. What is there in the house? You make a mental inventory of the contents of your larder. A plate of cold roast, a slioo or two of corned beef, a dish of cold aked beans, some toast, a few cookies, a good supply of bread and butter. Well, you guess, with a cup of coffee and some 1 pickles, you can make out. There is no- ody but yourself and Charles, and sure- ly thero will bo enough for only two. And Charles has so often told you that he could live on your smiles for a week. The dear bov I Of course you haven't been married long, or you would not "take any stock" in any such nonsense as that. For no man, bo he ever so loving and loyal, but would at dinner timo prefer some good roast beef and vegetables, with a pudding and other fixings, to all the female smiles in the world. When your table is set, it does look a ittle meager, and you aro glad that it rains slightly, fur there will not be likely to be anybody in. You lay the cold meat around, thcu, on the plate, so as to make all tho show possible, and look upon tho discovery of five doughnuts in the jar as a godsend, and you add a glass of jelly and sit down to wait for Charles. Directly you hear his step, and oh, horrors! There is another step to be heard, too. Perhaps it is the iceman. You seize on tho blessed idea and peep through the blinds. No, it is a stranger, tall and dignified, with a tall hat and a silk umbrella. You grow cold all over. Company to a picked up dinnerl You rush up tho back stairs to put on a clean collar, and brush out your crimps nd lake off your sweeping cap, and all the time you aro thus engaged you can hear George calling you: "Sarah Jam ! Sarah Jane! where are you?" Flushed aud hot, you go to be sentcd to 'my particular friend and lege chum, Mr So-so " The very mao that Charles has you so much about, as being so extremely fastidious and such a lover of good living! Mr. So so is bland and smiling. De ighted to see Charles' wife. Had ex peeled to see a prodigy. Was not dis appointed. The half was never told, etc. Willi many misgivings you lead the way tu the dining room. Mr. So-su's nose goes up as he surveys tho board Charles' face grows black as a thunder cloud. .Mr. so so undines com meat, he doesn't euro for the beans, he thinks he will not take any doughnuts. He had a late breakfast not any of the jelly thank you. And ho goes away after dinner with out asking you to play, when before din ncr it was spoken of and he had ex pressed himself charmed to be at last ble to hear the playing of one of whose artistic talcuts he had heard sj muoh Now, is thiro any m.ro mortifying situation for a housekeeper to be placed in I I leave it tor the ladies to answer They all know it is, but the men do uot, and they can never be made to under stand it either.

I'll Jill TRYING TO GF.T KID OF HELL. le Beaufort Herald Suggests that the Whole Matter le Left to a Senatorial Committee. Penilence and Forgiveness Should tuth k Heartfelt. That able and astuto lawyer of Wil mington, Col. A. M. Waddell, is in a controversy with Rev. Dr. Yates, of Durham, and the subject matter of the dispute is whether or not there is an immortality for the wicked. The Col onel insists that there is no inherent im mortality in man and that he only poss esses it as a gift of God, when ho is regenerated. Tho Doctor supports the old time orthodox view that man is by nature immortal. The debato is being conducted with a groat deal of ability and courtesy and is "good reading for Sunday." And now one Mr. C. F. Von llcrmon enters the list and comes to the relief of the Colonel. The gist of his argument seems to be that eternal pun ishment is useless. It will be in order now for every little theologian in the land to enter into the contest aud fire his little squib, and when all the fuss and fusilado is over we will be not one whit the wiser as to the actual facts in the case. If there is a hell it will blaze on just as fiercely and if not the orthodox will still go on teacbiog and believing in it. We suggest that the matter be referred to a Senatorial committee composed of Ben. Tillman, Dave Hill and old man Hoar for settlement, for they have suc ceeded in "raising hell" to an extent in Congress that ought to make them com petent authority on all questions of fire and brimstone. And we modestly suggest that all communications on the subject he scut to that committee instead of the general public If Col, Waddell finds himself in straits in his efforts to make out his case he might call in Col. Inger soll who is well posted in such matters, and from the tenor of some recent utter ances in Washington in which he seemed consumed with a yearning desire to set men free frum the delusions of orthodoxy, we are inclined tu think that Bub would lake the case for a very sir all retainer. Anyhow, we would like to have the matter settled, for like the Dutchman who said that if his wife were going to die he wished she would hurry matters up as he "didn't like do uncertainty of gs," the unsettled state of the ques tion is giving us great concern. Should the two doughty Colonels succeed in getting the cise decided in their favor how iu the world will justice ever be done to our delinquent subscribers? AN EVEN THING.

Address, World's Oisprnsasv Mkdical Associa tion, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. V. It has been said that all men are cow ards in the dark, and there is doubtless some truth in the statement. A corns. pondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demociat cites an instance in illustration. Two officers ol the British aimy in India had a difficulty which resulted in a duel. The colonel, tho challenged party, was an old campaigner who had his laurels in the Crimea and was a most gallant soldier The choico of weapons being his, he named pistols, and elected that the aff iir should occur in a dark room. We secured a room 20 feet square, says the narrator of the incident, closed every crevice that would admit light, placed our men in corners diagonally op posite, and withdrew. Each man was provided with three charges, and when these were exhausted we rushed in to gather up (he mutilated tCOJUI'iS. E tch man stood erect and soldierlike in his coiner, untouched; but directly behind the officer who had given the ohallenge were three bullet holes made by the colonel's pistol. "How is tin.-,' said a grizzled major "Had you been standing here when those shots were fired, you would have been killed." The culprit was forced to admit that ho had dropped to one knee, "You aro a eow.ir I ir, nn 1 unfit f. the company of soldiers and gi ntlcmeu!' oricd the tunjur. "Hold on, major!" said the colonel "It is stand off. While he was on his knees in one corner, I was on my stom ach in the other." WILLING TO KISK IT.

The duty of forgiving the penitent is preached from every pulpit, and to some extent men and women go through the form of forgiving, but unless this is done heartily and completely it is nothing more than a sham and pretense. To forgive and yet to keep the wrong ever in remembrance and to advert to it re proachfully day after day is to utter words of pardon only with tho lips. Penitence and forgiveness should both be heartfelt. The penitent who only seeks to escape punishment aud has no iutention or even thought of leading a better life does not deserve to bo for given, but tho real penitent, no matter what his offense, may well claim mercy of man and God. When wrong has been done inadvertently, thoughtlessly, or un der the stress of temptation, real peni tence is a guarautee of greater watchful ness and strength in the future. It is an old saying of people who nev er really forgive, "I will forgive, but I cannot forget " That is true even of those who really forgive, for no one can at will efface from his memory a rooted wrong, but the remembrance may be kept to one's self, linked, perhaps, with the repentance of tho sinner and the promise of forgiveness. Thus kept, the remembrance of a wrong done does no harm, but it is far otherwiso when the remembrance makes of forgiveness a mere word without active meaning, when, for example, reproaches continue long after repentance and forgiveness have blotted out the fault. When the pardon is absolute the relations of the parties thereto should be the same as be fore the offense was committed. Each may have in mind the occurrence, but he should make no sign It is a breach of faith for one who has declared a pardon to recall it again and again. These principles apply with specia force to tho dealings of a parent or guar dian with his child. The latter's offenses we may assume, are not very grave, but care should be taken to impress upon his youthful mind the necessity for real re- peutance. II this is not done ho may learn that nothing tunro is necessary than to say that ho is sorry to have his offenses condoned. Go the other hand the parent should be careful to make his forgiveness real; uot to accept an excuse or apology and then revert to the original offense. Continual scolding sours the temper of the solder and of those whom they address. In dealing with children there should be no nagging. Offenses should be disposed of once and for all by punishment, forgiveoess, or both, and then should be dismissed. A child may thus be taught to repent sincerely an experience which makes him stronger to resist future temptations when he has also been taught that the forgiveoess which fulluws repentance is real and ab solute. Why is it that, notwithstanding the or.-hip accorded to woman in tho ab stract, she generally manages to look bsurd under conditions wherein men try to keep their dignity? Is it stereotyped convention which hampers our judg ments, or are these thinns really facts? ''or instance, there is nothing remarkable in an old gentleman crossing a street or even walking in a gnle of wind, but place n elderly woman, somewhat portly, in the same situation, and the result is a caricature. Her petticoats outline her shape absurdly, a vast expanse of stock ing fills a doubtful gap, and her feet seem to struggle helplessly. Few women can enter a carriage, mount the steps of a coach or hurry into hansom gracefully, while the spectacle of a woman getting into a boat is far from pleasing. A stout lady on a bicycle gives fair cause for ridicule, and yet fat people dance far more lightly and uoyantly than tbiu people. The slimmeBt girl cannot run prettily, and as for football, we have seen tho results. But, to leave the sphere of athletics, a owager in a low dress is lar lrum pleasing, while tho multiplicity of objects carried by a woman when out shopping seems to hamper and render her move ments awkward. She has none of the convenient pockets affected by men, she is always seeking for her pocket hand kerchief or struggling to extract her purse from the black folds of her gown, or burdened with an umbrella, a parcel a satchel or with her dress itself. On a journey she is hot and flustered and in a hurry and cumbered with many cares, while a man drops easily into his seat, unfolds his paper and smokes or thinks, impervious to fate. A woman is only really graceful when she is at rest, roll ing a carriage or sitting in a drawing room or else dancing, when she has til genius for it London Graphic. AN UNDERGROUND CITY.

I lie Ilussians have made a singulur discovery in Central Asia. Iu Turkes tan, on the right bank of the Amou Dam, is a chain of rocky hills near the Bokharan town of Karki, and a number of large caves, which upon examination were found to lead to an underground city, built apparently long before tho Christian era. In Popular Science News we find tho following description of this singularly city: According to effigies, inscriptions and designs upon tho gold and silver money unearthed from among the ruins, the existence of the (own dates back to some two centuries beforo the birth of Christ. The underground Bokharan city is a little over a mile Ions, and is composed of an enormous labyrinth of corridors, streets and squares, surrounded by houses and other buildings two or three stories high. The edifices contain all kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns, vases and the like. In sotiu of the streets falls of earth and rock have obstructed the passages, but generally the visitors cud walk about without so much as lowering his head. The high degree of civilization attained by the inhabitants of the tity is shown by the fact that I hey built in several stories, by the symmetry of tho streets and squares, and by the beauty of the baked clay and metal untensils, and of the ornaments aud coins which have been found. It is supposed that long centimes aco this city, so carefully concealed in the bowels of the earth, provided an entire popiilaiiiiit wiih a refuse from the incur-iuus of n imailic savages and rob-bets A somewhat gay and gallant member of the house, unusually handsome, even for a member, was telling a small group of listeners, of which a Stitr reporter was one, some of bis campaigli experiences, "On one trip in the mountains," he said, after narrating S"veral good ones, "I was tiding along a road up a pic turesque valley with a campaign com panion, when wo met a buxom pink cheeked, good looking country girl on foot. As I spoke to her after the custom of the country, she stopped us." "Have you seed anything of a red headed, freckled faced feller down the crick?" she inquired. We have met three or four men in the last hour," I replied, "and one of them was red headed. How old was he?" "Bout my age, I reckon." "So young as that?" I asked with all my courtliness. That ain't so powerful young," she said without the slightest apparent comprehension of my compliment. He's 21 and so'm I." "The man we met with the red head was twice that old. He couldn't have been the one you were looking for could he?" "I reckon not. The man I'm lookin' fcr and me wuz to git married yistiddy, an1 when the time come he wazo't thar.

"Her anger heightened her color and put such a brightness in her eyes that sho was positively handsome and I just couldn't help trying another delicate compliment on her. "You must excuse me," I smiled and bowed and sent fourth my softest glances, "but with such a pretty girl as you arc after me I'd like to be Sim Johnson." "This time it was a ten strike."

And when eventide has fallen he saycth unto the keeper of the house: "Behold, I would be wakened at the fifth hour of the morning, that I may depart to another country." And to, before it is yet light, he knocketh loudly against the door and sayeth, "Arise," in a loud vuice, "that thou mayest depart upon thy train."

SIMMONSX R E G U L ATO Fjj The use a man makes of his money, as well as the ways he takes to get it, urnishes a very close test of what ho is. His account book is a better index to his life than his private journal. The con version which docs not unloose tho purso strings of the covetous, and close more firmly those of the spendthrift, is a sham and a failure, in no way will a man disclose high character more effectually than by thorough trustworthiness in the management of the funds confided to his care cither by God or his fellow men. There are no better rules for the right use of money than John Wesley's: "Get all you can, save all you can, give all you can." Some other good rules that should be committed to heart by every young man, are the following: "Never borrow where there is a chance that you may not be able to repay; never lend what you aro not prepared to give ; never guarao too for another what you canoot fulfill if the other should fuil. Save more thaB you spend. Lay by something every year if it be but a dollar. If you cannot increase your means, then diminish your wants" He who adheres to theso rules will inevitably acquire a competence, will taste joys of financial independence DIDN'T WANT A DIVORCE.
