The ARNLEss HERO. our iif

The ARMLEss HERO. --Among our items
few days ago, we mentioned the mar
riage of the armless Color Sergeant of q
Massachusetts, regiment, Plunkett, 10 Miss
Nellie Lorrimer. The wedding took place
in Worcester, though the parties belonged
to Leicester. We have now au addition
al fact Of interest connected with the in
cident. When he left for the wars, Plum.
kett was engaged to Miss Lorrmer. Up
on his return he considered his helpless
condition, and offered q release to his be-
trothed, which was readily accepted. Her
sister was SO indignant at this time she
said she would marry the brave man her
self il he was agreeable, and agreeable he
was, and they married. The Hartford
{ Ct.) Post. on whose authority we relate
this anecdote, says that, "thanks to the
generosity Of the brokes' boards Of Boston
and New York, and of the people he has
met since his return, Plunkett, the hero,
is in independent circumstances pecuniay
rily."

The Beauty Of Age

There are extremes into which we arc
tempted to fall when we find ourselves upon
tho wane. Declining ladies, especially mar.
ried ladies, arc moro given, | think, than
men, to neglect thoir personal appearance,
whom they aro conscious that tho bloom OF
their youth is gone. do not speak Of
state occasions, of set dinner parties, nud
full dress balls, but of tho daily meetings Of
domestic life. Now, however, is tho time,
above all others, when tho wifo must do.
tcrmino to bo tho pleasing wife, and retain
her John Anderson's affection to tho last,
by neatness, taste, aud appropriate variety
in dress. That lady has fast growing
daughters. strapping sons, and husband
at his ofico all day long, is no reason why
she should ever enter tho family circle with
rumpled hair, soilod cap. or unfastened
gown. The prottiest dress in the world
would be spoiled by such sins in her toilet,
The mornings duties, even in tho storcroom
or kitchen, may DO performed in fitting,
tidy costume, aud thon changed for parlor
habilimcn,s, equally tidy and fitting The
fashion Of tho day should always be ro-

position and age; the eyes cravo for variety

good looking woman is always handsome.
For, happily, thero exists moro than one
kind of beauty. There is Tho beauty of in

men, the beauty of ago if you do no, spoil

The President on Kissing.
The Cincinnati Commrre,ars Washing,

The Cincinnati Commruars Washington
correspondent tells tho following;
An army Surgeon was dismissed from
service by court martial yesterday, on a
charge of drunkenness and insulting lady.
1t appears from tho evidence, that tho doc.
tor, in common with great many others in
tho army. and out Of it, mbibud little too
freely on New Years day While riding 10
one of the street railroad care ho ATTEMPTED
to kiss lady passenger, and was only pre-.
vented therefrom by the timely interference
oftho conductor. Ho was found guilty on both
counts in the indictment, iutoxication and
attempt to kiss, aud sentenced him to dis.
missal. Tho men and officers of the doc.
tors regiment, on hearing his fate, unani-
mousIy petitionoG to rcinstate him. Tho
evidence was handed to Mr.. Lincoln, for his
perusal, by the defendants attorney.
Tho President road on till ho came to
drunkenness "Thats bad" said he--"vory
bad" A little further down he came to "in.
sulting lady" That's bad too. An officer
shouldn't insult lady, by any means. Tn
afraid can't roinstate this man." said Mr..
Lincoln. "Read tho specifications, il you
please, Mr.. President" said tho attorney.
Mr.. Lincoln proceeded with the papers.
Pretty soon he came to specification about
the kissing. Ho paused, scratched his head
a little, and remarked, looking at the attor-
ney. "Really, don't know about this
Thoro are exceptions in every rule, but as
general thing ID is very hard to insult lady
