Two WAYS OF Do1Na A THlNa.-In the
train from Harrisburg was gentleman
Jack Tar in go-ashore outfit, jolly, gen.
teel and happy, with decidedly pretty
specimen of eighteen-year old crinoline, to
whom he had been week spliced, and
was conveying Philadelphiaward. Oppo-
site Jack and his wife were couple that
any one could see were on honeymoon
cruise, the bride all bushes, beauty and
bashfulness, and the gallant bridegroom all
devotion and endearment. At one Of the
way stations the cars stopped, and the
careful bridegroom thus addressed his
timid bride:
"My love, am about step out few
momonts, for refreshments. Do not be
alarmed during my absence"
Gentleman Jack took the cue; and pat
ting his wife on the shoulder, sung out,
as if he were hauling the maintopgallant-
yard in q gale of wind:
aI say, wifey, I'm going ashore to wet
my whistle; don't tumbleoverbo while
I'm gone"

The MAN WITHOUT AN ENEMY
Heaven help the man who imagines he
can dodge enemies, by trying to please
everybody! If such an individual even
succeeded we should be glad it--not that
we believe in a mans going through the
world trying to find beams to knock his
head against; disputing every mans opin-
ion, fighting and elbowing and crowding
all who differ with him. That, again, is
another extreme. Other people have a
right to their opinion, SO have you; don't
fall into the error of supposing they will
respect you less for maintaining it, or re-
spect you more for turning your coat
every day to match the color of theirs
Wear your own colors spite of winds and
weather, storms or sunshine. 1t costs the
vacillating and irresolute ten times the
trouble to wind and shuttle and twist,
than it does honest, manly independence
TO stand it's ground.

= Marriage is to woman at once the
happiest and saddest ovent of her life-it
is the promise of future bliss raised on the
death of present enjoyment. She quits
her home and her parents, her compan-
ions, her amusements-eyerything on
which she has hitherto depended for COM
fort, for affection, for Kindness and for
pleasure. The parents by whose advice
she had been guided; the sister to whom
she has dared to impart the embryo
thought and feeling the brother who has
played with her, by turns the consellor,
and the younger children, to whom she
has hitherto been the mother and play
mate-are all forsaken at one fell stroke
every former tie is loosed-the spring
of action is changed and she flies with joy
in the untroddcn paths before her; bouy-
ed up by the confidence of requitted love,
she bids fond and faithful adieu to the
life that is past, and turns with excited
hopes and joyous anticipation to the hap
piness to come. Then woe to the man
who can. blight such fair hopes-who can
treacherously lure such heart from it's
peaceful enjoyment and watchful protec-
ton of home-who can, coward like,
break the illusions which have won her,
and destroyed the confidence which love
had inspired"

"SKIN OF THE TEETH" "A few days
ago we had occasion to mention the mar
row escape of a young lady "by the skin
of her teeth" We were afterwards taken
to task about it by literary friend who
desired US to inform him from whence the
expression is derived. We have since OBJ
tanned the necessary information
and we doubt not that many of our
readers and our friend in particular,
will. be astonished to learn that the
phrase. escaping "with the skin of my
teeth" is from the Bible. 1t occurs in
Job, chapter 49, verse 20, and the correct
reading is: "Afy bone cleaved to my skin
and to my flesh, and am escaped with
the skin of my teeth" Mobile Advertiser.

LINES


ritten for The Memorial Association of Flsaericks-
burg, va.
The following lines, by Father Abraham ]. Ryan,
Knoxville, the author of the Conquered Banner"
d the "Sword of Lee" will touch every heart:
Gather the sacred dust
Of warriors tried and true;
Who bore The Flag of our Nations trust,
And fell in the cause, though Lost, still Just,
And died for me and you.
Gather them each and all.
From the Private 10 the Chief!
Come they from hovel or princely hail.
They fell for us, and for them should fall
The tears of Nations grief
Gather the corpscs strewn
Der many battle plain.
From many grave that lies so lone,
Withontn name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
= Dear is their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same
They died-and wore the Gray.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should net rest apart;
Living they struggled side by side,
Why should the hand of death divide
i-, A single heart from heart?
Gather their scattered clay,
,.1 Wherever it may rcst;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray,
Just as they fell on the battle-day,
Bury them breast to breast.
The foeman need not dread
This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag, and with soundless
tread
We muster once more our deathlcss dead,
Out of each lonely grave.
The foeman need not frown;
For they are powerless now
We gather them here and We lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreath each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living Ger thcm weep,
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall led,
And the hearts that once together bled,
Together still-shall sleep.

All the radicals exclaim, "nay" "nayP

A great many writers have written

Brigham Young says that the Gentiles

We trust, that, after little time, radi-

In recent case in Indiana Justice

THE DEAD.-How multftudinous are
the dead! How populous are the silent
cities where they dwell! Close, but peace,
fal they rest, under shafts and spires OF
marble, or perchance without even. the
rudest memorial to the activities tney
once bore, the pomps they once dlspiayeo.
Two hundred times moro than all the
generation of the living, encamped out
there in church-yard, cemetery, and by
the ts wavside. Myriad millions, obeisant
to the awful shade, the grim spectre who
rides as the pale horse. Ceasless migration
from the halls of life-the great, the proud,
the rich, the poor, the bond, the free /;
brothers and sisters all, with one God for
their common father, one earth for their
sepulchre, one turf to hide their dust.
What history, what romance, what TRACE.
dy, what secrets and mysteries are locked
with them in the grave.
And how soon, too, shall we all march
down thither, "where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest
down thither where the sleep is dreamless,
until the great day when the trumpet
shall sound, bidding the nations of tho
dead to arise! Sacred, and green, and
evermore fragrant with the breath of flow
ers, and musical with the sound of gentlest
footballs, and the songs of birds, be the
places of graves-the homes of the dead.
They were all beloved in their day-all
fathers, or mothers, or brothers, or sisters,
or fr.iiends-or if any were foes, their en-
mity lives not in the tomb. Good or bad,
as ran the record of their lives, be it ours
to reverence their dust-God will Judge
them; God, who is the searcher of hearts,
and who is wiser, and more mercifal than
man.
Verify, it is not we'll for US to be thought.
less OF the dead. What they were, and
what they have done and said, concern
US every hour. Their example guides,
their precedent governs, their wisdom di-
rects, their thoughts inspire, their labor
blesses, and their riches enrich us. BENZ
zon to the dead, and may the good God
SO shape our lives, that when the time
comes, we may lie down, obscure it may
be, but without fearand without reproach.
