progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and converging Branches be-

years. The CENTRAL Pacific RAILROAD has
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation oil the

.sHELooKs MOST LIKE MOTHER

a Paris letter tells the following story Of
Twelfth night fete in that city:
\ wealthy family in the aristocratic
Boulevard Malesherbes were amusing them
selves in seeking the Kings portion, or the
ring in the festival cake, when a lady of the
company says to the hostess:
i wish my portion 10 be given to the
poorest little boy we can find in the street.
The servant was dispatched on this freez-
ing night, aud not far from the house he
found ragged urchn, trembling, with
cold aud hunger. He brought him up, was
ordered into the saloon, where a thousand
lights glittered, and a sparkling fire glad
dened and surprised him. He drew his por-
ton which the benevolent lady had promis.
ed, and as luck would have it, the little fell
low found the ring (beans they use in
Paris instead), aud, cf course, he was
king" They all shouted out that, being
a King. he must choose a Queen. He was
asked so to do, and, looking round the COM
pany, he chose the very lady who had pro-
posed to cede her portion of cake. He wa;
asked why he chose her. He said:
Il don't know; she looks the most likt
mother?"
"Motherl whose mother?''
my mutherl never knew her, but was
stolen away from her, and here Is her por-
trait"
With this he drew from out his ragged
coat likeness, which proved to be that OF
the very lady herself, who, in Italy had her
child stolen from her. and now he turns up
a poor little ragged Savoyard, dragging
along a miserable existence in Paris, while
his mother, by an intuition, perhaps, felt
that in the air near to where she was, was
one so dear to her.

ANECDOTES OF GENERAL GRANT.


"a Woman" writes to the PHILADELPHIA
Press, from Ashland Pa, the following
stories about General Grant:
La the winter of 1923, when the army
arrived at Memphis, after long, weary march
ing and trials that sicken the heart TO think
Of, two-thirds of the officers and soldiers
were in hospitals. General Grant was lying
sick at the Gayoso House One morning

much depressed, and said the medical direc

thought he would not be able to 90 any

a week he was on board the advance boat on

board the headquarters boat at Milliken' s

officers and ladies had dassembed Cards aud

mapsand routes to Vicksburg, wholly absorb

what was going on around, neither did any
one dare to interrupt him. For hours he
sat thus, until the loved aud lamented Me-
Pherson stepped up to him with a glass Of
liquor in his hand, and said; General this
won't do; you are injuring yourself join
with US in few toasts, and throw this bur
den off your mind. Looking up and smil-
ling, he replied: ''Mac, you know your
whiskey won help me to think; give me q

it the ladies' will excuse me for smoking, |

ANECDOTES OF BEN. WADE.

The following we derive from a prominent
citizen Of Jefferson, fellow church mem-
Der with Joshua r. Giddings, and they are
authentic:
About the time Mr.. Wade opened a law
Office in jefferson, a travelling preacher
stopped at that village and delivered lee
ture on the sinfulness of slavery Mr.
Giddings and the pastor Of the church, of
which he was member, deemed this
highly wicked and incendiary. And to
counteract any evil which the abolition lee
ture might have done, these two men
drew up plan for a society which was to
hold stated meetings for the purpose Of
proving the divinity of slavery from the
Bible. In canvassing for members to
search the Scriptures for this purpose,
they called at Wade's office, who, after
hearing them patiently, remarked: 'If l
was an inhdel, and thought it desirable to
make the people believe the Bible a fable,
[ would begin not by openly discrediting
it, but | would organize just such societies
as you propose, and set out to prove that
the God of the Bible was a being that
sanctioned slavery aud all its iniquities
The pastor spent few moments in deep
thought, aud exclaimed: ''You are right,
Mr.. Wade; | now see this thing in diff
ferent light; | will have nothing further to
do with it. Not long after this the scales
fell from Mr.. Gliding eyes, and he, too
became an apostle of liberty.
While Wade and Giddings we're law part
ners, they sold a horse to a preacher and
took his note. Mr.. G. made the trade, and
drove a hard bargain, although he belonged
to the same church with the preacher. They
shortly after dissolved par l.uership and diyi-
ded the notes, Mr.. G. asserting them out,
and somehow the poor and doubtful were
counted into Mr.. w s half. Mr. w. made
no objection to this, doubtless thinking this
would afford good opportunity TO exercise
some of that large hearted practical benevo-
lence for which he is noted. The preacher S
note fell to Mr.. Wade, and when it came
due he was informed by Mr.. G. that Mr..
w. had bought the note On calling to
pay it, Mr. Wade asked him how much
money he had, and was informed Just
enough to pay this note and get back home
on. Mr.. Wade replied, 'well, in the first
place, had | been selling the horse, my con-
science would not have allowed me to exact
ofyou more than he was worth, and in the
second place, you preachers have a hard
time of it, and am the last man that would
have a desire for your money. Here is your
note, | make you present of 1t. The
minister was affected to tears, and remarked
TO brother member shortly after, while re-
lating the occurrence, that mans rough
exterior covers a noble heart. y Chitttc0the

A VERY OLD LADY.

| ree0llcct returning from school one eve
ming when child, aud finding myself, as
entered the door. yard, at home, in the
midst Of group OF visitors, who were tax
ing leave of the family. A very old lady, 10
a neat black 'scooT-shovel bonnet, was
leaning on the arm of her daughter, who
was also an aged woman. Several others
were standing about-my own dear old
grandmother among the rest-and all of
them seemed to be old enough to be daugh-
ters Of Methuselah
stood peering at them curiously, sun
bonnet in hand, when the very old lady
came slowly toward me.
'How old are you, little girl?" she asked.
Six years old -
Are you? | was six years old a hund-
red years ago. -
How | started and looked up wonderingy
under the deep black bonnet. She smiled
as she added, Ny dear child, | am hund-
red years older than you are;" and as she
kissed my forehead, and laid her thin hand
tenderly on my bare head, felt even then
that it was a benediction.
How honored We all felt by her presencel
NO one else was spoken of for week and
we children all felt that it would be very
Pleasant to live a hundred years longer, and
to be still good-natured, and have everybody
very proud of us Let me live to an OLD age,
but let me not outlive the free use OF all my
faculties, should be the prayer and aspira-
ton of every child. Let us point him to
that goal and bid him seek to win the race
Heaven often forces US to answer our own
prayers and we must undoubtedly do so in
this case, or they will remain unanswered
We ought to live for old age just in the
spirit we are constantly exhorted to live
for heaven, that is, to think of it, take
measures to attain it, and provision for
it.
| do not mean merely the laying up of
much goods" for the many years. An
honest old age has right to be independent,
and to be no more numbered with much
serving. 1t often needs change Let the
old man be free to leave his home occasion
ally, and with bis old wife, hand in hand,
let him go travelling to see the world and
enjoy it. They may thus add years to their
length of days, much to their stock of
happiness, and more still to their vigor and
restoration of their decaying faculties.
After three score years and ten of robust
work, either with brains OF hands, society
owes the veteran competence, and every
rational enjoyment it will procure; and it is
all wrong if he has not been able to obtain
this. -AtaHtic MoathB.
