A Paris paper says: "When Patti
married, Mile. Nilsson fell into reverie
and thought of marrying. She did
not care for aristocracy, but she want
ed beauty and wealth. Her choice
was an apprentice financier, whose
moneyed talents equaled his physical
advantage. When she set out for
America she cOnfded a large sum of
money to her b%ethrothed, asking him
to put it to the best account. He
added to it all his fortune, and said:
Il shall triple the money in two
months, and she will be led to the
altar by a millionaire There was no
end to the castles in the air he built,
until a panic on Change swept away
all his money and all the money the
songstress had confded to him. Will
she forgive the deed for the willis
sake? Her friends say she will prove
pitiless, for it seems Victor Hugo

BEST PARLORS.

Almost every American house possesses
one of these dreadful affairs, erected to what
unknown goddess it is impossible to guess.
1t is Bogy, before whom from time to time
people burn gas in chandeliers of fearful de-
sign; to whom are dedicated fragrant car
pets, impossible oil painting, furniture too
gorgeous for common day and shrouded
therefrom by customary Holland. Musty
smells belong to this Deity, Stiffness angles,
absence of sunlight. The visitor, entering,
sees written above the portal "Who enteis

there to talk about in room dark rs the

luctant shutter reveals stand of wax flow

The Christian must learn the things of
God as he learns anything else, by applying
himself to them. In his experience .he must
dig into Il doctrine as IL miner digs into n
mountain. He sees the mountain and knows
it is there before he strikes blow; but
every stroke reveals something he never saw
before. He believes in the doctrine from
the first hour of his experience, from before
his experience, it may be; but he knows
more about it, sees new beauties in it, every
time he contemplates it.

There is no slavery so abject us the slavery
of a man to the woman he loves. Affect
for it goes behind his will and possesses the
whole man. And the more man he is, the
more strong and bright and free, the more
thorough in his enthrallment. Woe to such
an one if he falls into the hands of weak, n
frivolous, OF an unworthy owner. Joy to
him if his proprietor be n large-natured wo-
man; for then-for then his completest thrall
is most exalted and divine freedom.-Gaal

The Austrian women have certain legal
rights Of life, limb and property which those
in America might be happy to boast. They
can refuse to accompany their husbands to
any locality which endangers their liberty,
life or health, and, unless married to military
men, can refuse to be parties to perpetual
peregrinations, and to settling in foreign
countries.

GOOD RULES.

The following rules for the government of
children, which were first presented in one
of Jacob Abbotts books, are said to have
been of great service to many successful
teachers
When you consent, consent cordially.
When you refuse, refuse finally.
When you punish, punish good naturally.
Commend often. Never scold.

VITALITY OF THE HUMAN SPECIES

The first six months of child's life are
too uncertain to base any calculation upon.
After the expiration of the first year, the
chances are even that the child will live to
the age of thirty three; between ten and fif-
teen years of age life is most secure, and the
probabilities are even that he will live forty
three years longer.

THANKSGIVING.

There is no higher, nobler quality of hui
man character than gratitude. 1t is the for
getfulness of self; it is the opening of the
heart to the neighbor and the Lord. 1t is
the confession of our own dependence, and
the recognition of the worth of others. The
selfish soul cannot exercise it. Pride is pain
ed to think of it, for it is always attended
with humility. 1t is easy to say, 81 thank
YOU" with the lips. 1t is II simple act of
courtesy which may have meaning or may
not But to make the words the vehicle for
the outgoings fthe heart, is possible o My to
those who feel their own indebtedness to
others, and delight to honor them for their
goodness.
A sense Of dependence is always painful to
the unregenerate mind. Grasping us the sell
fish heart is, and eager us it is to gain for it
self riches, honor, and power, it does not like
to feel that it is indebted to others for them.
The natural man delights to think that he
has gained his possessions himself: that it is
by his own might and wisdom that he has
won the victory. The man who supplies the
money to erect II palace, claims the honor of
created that business - Il won that victo-
ry;" while the men who do the work and
fight the battle are not noticed. How often
we hear men swelling with pride say: my
architect" my broker" my tailor" rs
though they owned them all, and it was only
by their grace that those whom they employ
had any intellect, or skill, or power.
This same spirit is manifested in magnify
ing our own agency in gaining the blessings
of life, and ignoring the agency of the Lord.
The little that we do is so near and dear to
us that it fills our eyes, and hides from our
view what the Lord does. The gardener will
tell you, II raised those beautiful flowers !;
that luscious fruit" II planted those trees"
says the farmer, Il raised that beautiful
head of cattle; those white ilocks of sheep,
and those harvests of wheat" "You pro-
duced these things" the Lord might reply.
did you make the seed you cast into the
ground?" No. There is not wisdom and
power enough in all the beings the Lord
ever created to do that. Ibid you make the
ground?" No. "Did you create the heat and
the light, and the gentle showers, and the
atmospheric" No man has power to do these
things. "What did you do?" plowed the
ground and cast in the seed did you make
the horse and OK? Did youv mechanic make
the iron and the wood?" Nay; none of these
did you make your own handsP did you
fashion your own eyes? did you form the
BRAIN and create the intelligence, and origi
nate the power which has been exercised il
doing these things?"
No. Our agency dwindes down to tho
mere point of using what the Lord has glver
us, and with the power He has given. How
small we are when we are reduced to oul
proper dimensions!

she would cut his head from his shoulders if

THE JAcKsoN-BENToN FIGHT.-The Nash
vile Banner, in publishing some "reminiscences
of that city, relates the following particulars
of the difficulty between General Jackson and
the Bentons which, in consequence OF the dis
tinguished characters engaged In it, and the
relation of friendship which subsequently, sub
sisted between the parties, has become historic:
1t was in the Talbot Hotel, 1918, (subse-
quently the site of the City Hall,) that the ia
NOUS rencounter occurred between Andrew
Jackson and the Bentons. The difficulty orig.
mated remotely from duel between General
Carroll and Jesse Benton, in which General
Jackson had been the second of the former,
and from bitter correspondence subsequently
had between Col. ,Thos. H. Benton and Gen.
Jackson, though the two had been warm per-
sonal friends. The circumstances which led
to the rencounter have become matter OF his
tory and we propose only to recall the partic-
ulars of the fight itself, as locally connected
with the annals of the spot on which the City
Hall now stands. 'a31 ggt1 tsls .',fl &Gl
On the Sd of September, 1913. the Bentons
were registered at the Talbot Hotel and Gen.
Jackson at the Nashville Inn. then located on
the northeastern corner of Market street and
the Public Square, the site now occupied by
the wholesale house of Evans, Gardner & Co.
The next morning about 9 o'clock Gen. Coffee
and Gen. Jackson started around the square,
via the Talbot Hotel, to the postofice, which
was then located where the house of Boliver
II. Cook now stands, with the ostensible pur-.
pose of obtaining their mail On returning
Gen. jackson attacked Col. Thos H. Benton,
who was standing in the doorway of Talbot's
Hotel Benton fumbled in. his pocket for q
pistol, and retreated slowly backward, Jack
son close upon him with pistol at his heart,
until they had reached the backdoor of the
hotel At that moment Jesse Benton seeing
his fathers danger, shot slug into Jackson's
left shoulder, shattering it in fearful manner.
The latter fell across the entry and remained !
PROSTATE, bleeding proflsely. Atthis iuucturea
Gen. Coffee fired at Col Benton and missed
him. He then "clubbed" his pistol and was
about to strike, when COL Benton, in stepping
backward, came to some stairs Of which he /
was not aware, and fell headlong to the bottom;
Stokely Hays then coming upon the scene en-! OF e
action, made lunge at Jesse Benton with Q
sword, snatched out Of a cane, but the point
struck button and the sword broke in pieces. 9
He then drew dirk. got Jesse Bentou upon

was about to plunge it into his heart when a /
