battle afar off. and cried aha!'

the usual southern prejudices, moved with
his family into Vermont some time last win

increased by the addition of "a little stranger
Ia native Misunderstanding about sew

years, was at first delighted with his little
brother, but after few weeks began to tire
of his crying, and got jealous from fancied
neglect. One day he climbed up in his faith
er's lap and asked him. "Papa, which do
you like best, me Or baby p The father,
thinking to please the little prattler, answered
that he liked him best. After little seri-
Gus thought the boy said, "Pa, know why
you like me BEST "Why?" said the faith

A WEDDING OVER CORPSE "A wedding
under extraordinary circumstances was Gel
ebrated in Poughkeepsie on Wednesday. -
The couple move in fashionable circles, and
the event is the topic of conversation. On
Tuesday the father Of the bridegroom, a
wealthy and respected citizen of Poughkeep-
sic, died, was duly shrouded in the garments
of death, the body was inclosed in rich
and costly coffin, the whole being placed in
the parlor. On Wednesday at noon, the
old mans son led his ahianced bride into the
room where lay the body of the deceased
parent the bridal party walking solemnly
up to the coffin, and the cover over the face
Of the corpse was removed. The Rev. Mr.
Hageman, of the Second Reformed Church,
then. amid breathless silence and by the
open coffin, joined the young couple in the
holy bonds of matrimony. The bridegroom
when asked why he was married in such a
manner, replied that the spirit of his father
lowered about him. telling him to get mar
ried there and then.-N. 7. Sun.

The Coming Girl.

She will vote, will be of some use in the
world, will cock her own food, will earn her
own living, and will not die an old maid -
The coming girl will not wear the Grecian
bend, dance the German, ignore all posi-
bilities of knowing how to work; will not
endeavor to break the hearts of unsophisti-
Gated young men, will spell correctly, I'M
derstand English before she affects French,
will preside with equal grace at the piano or
dashboard will spin more yarn for the house
than for the street, will not despise her
plainly dressed mother, her poor relations,
or the hand Of an honest worker; will wear
bonnet; speak good, plain, unlsping Eng
fish; will darn her own stockings; will know
how to bake doughnuts and will not read
the Ledger oftener than she does her Bible.
The coming girl will walk five miles day,
if need be, to keep her cheeks in glow;
will mind her health, her physical develop
ment, and her mother will adopt costume
both sensible and conducive to comfort and
health, will not confound hypocrisy with po-
likeness; will not place lying to please above
frankness; will have courage to cut an I'M
welcome acquaintance will not think refine
ment is French duplicity; that assumed hos
pitality, where hate dwells in the heart, is
better than condemnation; will not confound
grace of movement with silly affection; will
not regard the end of her being to have a
beau, The coming girl will not look to Paris
but to reason, for her fashions; will not aim
to follow foolish fashion because milliners
and dressmakers decrced it; will rot torture
her body, shrivel her soul with ruerilities,
or ruin it with wine and pleasure, In short
the coming girl will seek to glorify her Ma
ker and to enjoy mentally His works. Duty
will be her ain, and life a living reality

A HAPPY FIREs1DE Home is the resi-
dence, not merely Of the body, but of the
heart. It is the place for the affections to
unfold and develop themselves-for children
to love and learn, and play in for husband
and wife to toll smilingly together. and make
life blessing. The object of all ambition
should be to be happy there, we can not be
happy elsewhere. 1t is the best proof of the
virtues of a family circle, to see happy

Strong with the strength of sublime despair,
Out of the depths of the Southern soul,
Surges wildly passionate prayer,
Like the mighty rush of the oceans roll.
BY our Cause beloved and lost,
BY our nations voiceless woe,
BY the cup of triumph test
From our lips by one fierce blow;
Blythe spiritcrushng weight
OF the shafts against US hurled,
BY our hearth-stones desolate,
BY our flag forever furled.
LET Us HAvR PEACE
BY the quiet uncomplaint
Which thousand wrongs have met,
By the vigorous restraint.
Upon fiery passions set;
BY the steadfast sense of right.
And the law-abiding hold
Which our manhoods conscious might
Keeps in willing chains controlled;
By the knightly faith maintained
For the plighted word we gave,
BY our honor all unstained,
AS our simple due we crave,
LET US HAVE PEAcR
BY the prowess in the fields
Which our fair-fought battles show;
BY the nobleness that yields
Mercy to noble foe;
BY the horror of our doom,
BY our high hopes quenched and dead,
BY our present thick with gloom,
BY the future dark with dread;
By the Heaven where warfares cease.
BY mans common brotherhood,
Forth Savior Prince of Peace,
For the sake of GOO and good,
LET Us HAVE PEACE
