Mrs. II. W. Beecher, in an article
in the Christian Union, on mistakes
in our houses, specifies the "exelu-
sion of sunlight as one. She says:
We wish the Importance of ad-
hitting the light of the sun freely,
as well as building these early and
late fires, could be properly impress
ed upon our housekeepers. No ar
ticle Of furniture should ever be
brought to our homes too good or
too delicate for the sun to see all

never be excluded, except when so
bright as to be uncomfortable to the
eyes. And a walk in good, bright
sunlight, so that the eyes are protec-
ted by veil or parasol, when ineon-
veniently intense. A sun-bath is Of
far more Importance IN preserving a
healthy condition of the body than
is generally understood. A sun

An Editor Sued.

The editor Of the Muscatine (Io-
wa) Courier was sued the other day.
He took it philosophically. Hear
him:
"The dim recesses of our dark
sanctum we're Illuminated yesterday
by the rubicund visage of our friend
Constable Scott. Our hair stood on
end, as, with tears in his eyes, he
proceeded to read a very nicely
printed blank on which our name
figured conspicuously with that of
Justice Klein.
"To cut short a long article, we
were sued! Where you ever sued,
reader2 Nice, amt it2 We put our
pen behind our ear and looked wise
at the officer. He trembled q little,
for the idea Of suing an editor was
new to him. He never imagined
that anything could be got out Of
them fellers' by suing-We didn't
either. We don't now.
"The art of suing is q science.
Young lawyers who are anxious for
suits sometimes bring them for fun.
Old ones, howeVer,nev do anything
of the kind unless they can get
something. We never knew any
body to get anything where there
wasn't anything to be had.
"We hope they'll get a judgment
against us; then we hope they'll
take out an execution; and lastly,
we beg they'll execute it. If we've
got any property we'd like to know it.
They might garnishee lot of other
fellows we owe around town. We
guess they will. If they're sharp
they'll commence on George Schnei-
der. We owe him for a glass Of
beer. If they would get that it
would help little. Failing in this,
we recommend them to attach a box
Of soiled paper collars we have on
hand. They have not been turned
yet, and they might use the clean
side. If this won't do We are unable
to help them"

MABEL MOORE'S STRATEGEM

1t was almost like bit of Persian
poetry, that little conservatory at
RaysWater, in its glow and fragrance,
and soft, delicious murmur ofleaves.
And Mabel Moore herself looked not
unlike a Persian enchantress, as she
stood there leaning one hand on
marble vase, with the gold of the
acacia plumes hardly brighter than
her hair, and a quiVer in her heavy
white lids that hid her deep blue
eyes. She was tall and finely formed,
with very regular features, cheeks
tinged with a faint color, and an un-
conscious bauteur in the poise of
her slender throat and shoulders.
Mabel Moore was born to be an hei-
ress, and very gracefully y she fulfilled
the mission Of her sunshiny life.
She was not alone, however, in
tlowery fragrance of the twilight
conservatory. Ernest Beckford was
leaning against the door-post, twis-
ting and untWistiDg a long spray of
jessamine with sort Of impatient
rapidity. He was tall, manly fel-
low, with bright auburn hair, and a
face that you were involuntary com
PEELED to respect and like.
"Mabei," he said almost passion
nately, "do you know that you are
asking impossibilitiesp
Gam I?''
81 cannot go to Australia with
ont you"
'You can Earnest, and you will"
"But, my darling, only think of
it-a years exile from you@
"Will it be any easier for me to
endure, Ernest?" she asked calmly.
Sometimes, I fancy, Mabel" he
resumed impetuously, "that you
don't care for me, else you would
never be so willing to let me 60"
"Ernestp'
my dearest, I know am unjust;
but"
'Now," said Mabel, ''let me under.

in this matter"

tomorrow and go out to Australia
with me to the ship that sails on
Saturday"
ga very reasonable wish," said
Mable laughing. "But Ernest, you
know 1 will never marry you while
your mother refuses her sanction
and appreciation to the match"
"She does not know you Mabel"
"That makes no difference. 1
shall never enter a family where 1
am not welcome by every one of its
members"
"But just consider how unreason-
able you are. my own darling, and
how utterly and entirdly groundless
are my mothers objections"
"She fancies me a hollow, heart
less woman of the world, does she
not? She is unwilling to trust her
sons happiness in the keeping of a
coquette, who knows nothing be-
yond italian songs and French walt

81 am sorry 1 ever allowed you to
read that unreasonable letter."
"But 1 am glad. No, Ernest, 1
have too much pride and dignity to
marry you, unless your mother gives
her free and full consent"
"Then you do not love me, Ma
bel?"
81 do love you Ernest Beckford,
better than I like to acknowledge to
myself.
"Mabel," he urged tenderly, "let
us cut this Gordian knot by the ex-
ercise of our own free will. Become
my wife; give me the right to take
you with me on this long, long jour
ney."
Mabel Moore shook her head.

THE MORMON wIDowER,s La.
MENT,
BY F. W. CLARK.


And she is dead And she is dead
My multitudinous bridel
No more my weary head may rest
Her many forms beside.
No more her sixty gentle hands
Shall fondly rest in mine;
No more around her thirty waists
My loving arm shall twine.
For she is dead; and from those eyes
Of black, and blue, and gray,
And various intermediate dyes,
The light has passed away.
And eighty little orphans tears
Are mingled with mine own,
And eighty hearts of tender years
Are motherless and lone.
The fevers seized her all at once,
And apopIexy too;
With cOrns, Mysteries and the mumps,
And dread tic-douloureux.
A dozen doctors made her worse;
They physicked and they bled;
And though she lived with thirty lives,
No wonder she is deadl
But ere she died, in countless throngs
Her relatives drew nigh,
And waded through each others tears
To bid my love good-by.
Yet even then she thought OF me,
And sought my grief to quell;
And summoned me beside her beds
To say last farewell.
"GOOd-by, dear John" she feebly said;
"Pm going soon," said she;
"But oh don't marry widow Smith,
And oh don't mourn for me.
For widow Smith is forty fold
Too many, far, for you;
And she is artful, sly and bold,
And quite desingning, too.
''And, John, don't leave you fannels off
And don't catch cold, my dear.
Don't die of grief, but calmly live;
Your children need you here.
I shall not want you over there,
I'd rather be alone;
I've had you here quite long enough;
You'll stay away, my own?"
And then she closed her eyes in peace,
And fell asleep and died;
And left me here to mourn her loss,
My ten times triple bride
I know ought to be resigned
I know my tears ara rude;
But when ones loss is thirty fold
He can't feel fortitude.
Oh, Mary Annc and so forth Jones,
Thou vert a model wifel
Thy virtues like thyself, were two,
Too many for this life.
There's no one now to mend my shirts,
Or hear each infants cry;
I sew my buttons on alone,
And sing the lullaby.
I'll have to marry widow Smith;
I can't get on alone;
The children need mothers care
You don't know how they've grown!
You left me for better world,
Your souls are free from pain;
I must relieve my own despair,
And try my luck again.

Beecher remembers seeing his
second mother dance to his fathers s
fiddling, and thinks eff my mother
had danced oftener and said the
catechism a little less it would have
been better for all of us. If you
have talent for music cultivate it;
for dancing cultivate it; whatever
gifts God has given you, make the
most of them, whether of voice, foot
or eye"

Scarlet mouth and eight white teeth,
Lift your own old cradle-cover-

Aimless fists and squirming feet
Well may you retreat in terror,
But it ends not here my sweet
This is your illustrious brother
Come to take your sceptre now,
Ere two summers quite have chased the
Baby graces from your brow.

Yield him all your precious playthings

From her rightful nest SO soon;

Sugar-coat the bitter pill
Keep place for Little Lady
