The “Old Boy.”
New York Ledger.
Why “Old Boy?” Can any casuist
give a plausible reason for the be-
stowal of this nick-name on the
arch fiend? Moses introduces him as
a snake; Milton as a debauched-
looking spirit—“an arch-angel ruin-
ed:” and most of the early fathers
depict ;him as a Protean monster
without a single engaging shape in
his repertoire of transformations. In
German legends we meet with him
occasionally disguised ar a gentle-
man but always with a eardon c
glare in his eyes and a livlaueas of
complexion incompatible with the
idea of boyhood. Wherefore then
“Old Boy?”
The title applies much more legiti-
mately to an “ethereal intelligence”
of a very different nature. The poetic
Greeks embodied Love in the form of a
fascinating little urchin with a fillet
over his eyes and the pretty brat of
paganism is such an apt embodiment
of the sentiment that the imagination
of Christendom has adopted him just
as he has come down to us in shirt-
less innocence. Cupid is the oldest
boy extant and just as fresh to day
as be was thousands of years ago.
Paphos however was not his birth-’
place uor was he cradled in a rose.
That’s a fish story. He was born in
Eden at the very moment when Eve
and Adam first looked into each other’s
eyes; and the tears of rapture which
they shed on that happy occasion
were the elixier vitea in which he
was baptized. From that day to this
his purple wings have never lost a
feather nor his cheeks a dimple. Six
thousand . years—be the same more
or less—have left him still the bright-
est baby in the world. Glorious old
boy! He laughs at “Time’s effacing
fingers” and shakes his curls defi-
antly in the face of Fate. The same
old story that he told to Jacob and
Boaz and Rachel and Ruth he tells
today. And wonder of wonders
it is never stale!
Cynics however insist that babyish
as he seems the little fellow is not
exempt from that vice of old aue
called covetousness; that notwith-
standing bls apparent blindness he
has a keen eye for the main chance;
and that when poverty comes in at
the door he makes way through the
window. But that’s a slander. There
is indeed a vile little mercenary
impostor no more like him in princi-
ple than a picspocket is like a priest
who assumes his name and trades on
it. but Cupid himself has not a mean
streak in his composition. Heis the
quintessence of all that is disinterest
eland unselfish—an old boypure and
without reproach; and we protest
against the title that of right belongs
to him being bestowed upon his ter-
nal antithesis.

A fter Chenango is reached by the
Velaeco railway builders the road
will be pushed up the Brazos valley
to Waco. Heavy cotton freights
can be secured all along that line and
it is bound to be profitable. Brazos
valley is in it and the port at tbe
mouth of the river is cut out for a
large trade.
John Bull bulled it in receiving
that fast mail from Yokohoma and
the splendid record made across two
oceans and the American continent
did not count. The twelve mail bags
from the orient instead of being tak-
en from the ship at Queenstown were
sent on the steamer to Liverpool in-
stead of being transferred by fast rail.

The cholera epidemic did not reach
Europe this year but it has traveled
as far westward as Aleppo In Syria
and has fastened with a death grip
upon that city ready to make its de
scent upon eastern Europe next sea
