A Husbands Tribute of Affection


Mr.. E. Cowan, the editor OF the War
rem Mail, in the last number of his Jour
nal publishes an obituary Of his deceased
wife, written by himself, which is SO
beautifully worded that we republish the
following extract from it. After aIluding
to her worth, her virtues, and her eniur>
ance during her lcng illness of consumption,
the bereaved husband writes: "Dear
reader, we are fully conscious that we
have obtruded our private affairs op the
public too long already. But we DO not
trouble you often with matters personal
and you are our only confidante now.
There are times when the heart finds re-
lief only in words or tears. Fer nearly
two and half years disease sat in our
household by day and by night and threw
its dark shadow on the wall. Hope and
fear-gladness and gloom-have alter
nately flashed their shadows across our
way Many others, and you, perhaps,
have had similar experience; but tho
discipline is new TO Us, and this week we
can think or write of little else. We
have borne it, and shall bear it, with as
cheerful philosophy, as resigned faith,
and strength rs manly as we may but
God only knows how deep is the shadow
of this might afte. tie funeral Tho
children of hec love and her care have
g ne motherless to bed. The kind neigh
bors and friends have come and gone with
noiseless tread and many tears. The man
of God has offered the solemn prayer and
the singers have sung the solemn hymns.
| The bearers have borne away the shadowy
form of her whose health and life and
| gentle goodness still hnger only in mem
! ory and the picture On tie wall. The
! and the clock never had so loud tick
The playful cat, even, does not pur on tha
| rug tonight, bot lodges in and runs out
with startled, pitiful look The work
| basket, with It's half finished articles laid
aside scarce four days ago, seems only
waiting for the once busy fingers, now,
| alas folded uuder the pines in peaceful
rest. Travelling back over the bridge OF
years, we recall the gathering of many of
the same friends in the old homestead jnst
| eighteen yeals ago last week. Not the
cross of flowers and the sad eyed MOURN
ers were there, but the bridal wreath and
| the voice of Inirth forcshadowed a future
bright and beautiful. Siuce then; how
many of that 'nlerrie companie' have pass
ed 'over the river or known the darkness
of tonight Thus has it ever been
thus viii it ever be, till we pass to that
better land where there is no night after
the funeral, and no river runs between
the living and the dead !''

TIE Niger AND THE HENROosr-A
friend who accompanied me had heard of
a bargain in real estate on the hilltop above
jackson City, and we went up to look at
it. 1t certainly was a cheap property, on
Arlington Heights, and onE mile from
Washington.
We asked the tenant if the negroes Of
the neigboring village troubled him. ''Tho
sight of 'em troubles me-" said this Last
Family. ''Dogon 'em l DO hate a free
niger As to stealing, # that's what you
mesn. they steal nothing but the chick
ens''
"Then they do take poultry ?"
SITS my belief" said the solitary ten
ant, ''that there'll have to be chickings in
a future state for the niger. Heaven
viii be no heaven to him without hem
cocps. Pears to me the chickens know
him. They never cackle where n uigger
comes. They roost low on his night It's
nigh TO this pint, gentlemen, that in the
State of Virginia nobody bat nisgercan
afford to eat chickings in five years. The
animal viii be his speciality and monopoly.
Clicking viii be to q white family what
pork is to q jew"
''But why do the negroes cOnfne their
Expectations to poultry %
The niger amt got enterprise to steal
any thing bigger he said, shed no moro
steal COW than he'd steal the Capitol
yonder. He's fond Of stews. The chick~
ing jist fits into his gipsey pot. The
grease Of it lies his jints. He loves it be-
cause he stole ii. He eats it oat of pure
affection. He cooks it at night time, and
biles it with the feathers or. He hopes
the feathers will evaporate with the bill
ing but if they don't he goes the whole
fowl, quilts and all. Gentlemen, if there's
any sincere happiness in this world, it's
niger eating billed choking on the
sly !''-C0, Cincinnati Commercial

A LEARNED PROFESSOR in New Eng

of students an excuse whenever they were

he invariably added: Very we'll but
