ANEcDorE OF TOM coRwlN.

Dom Piatt tells this funny story Of Tom
Corwn in the Cincinnati Commercial:
| heard good thing of Governor Corwin
astnight. 1t seems that while this gentleman
was in the Senate, he sat at dinner one after
noon, entertaining the mess with amusing
incidents and wtticisms, such as Corwin
could only throw out, when the servant, a
new hand at the business, announced Wis
itor in the parlor, desrous of an interview
with the Senator, Corwin paid no attention
to the man at first, but, after a time, irritat-
ed by the continued interruption, said, inn
patiently, go, tell him to 60 to-"
"Corwin continued his dinner, and at the
end suddenly recollecting the visitor, hurried
to the parlor, and found no one there. lie
rang for the servant, and when the man APP
peared, said:
'John, did you not tell me there was some
one here"
''Yes, sah," responded John.
"Why didn't he wait ?"
''Well, sab, [ told him your message"
'What message?" asked the astonished
Senator
"Why, sab, l told him dat you said he
should 60 to hi, and he went"
Corwin's indignation at the stupidity of
the servant was only equalled by his anxiety
lest the person should prove to be constt-
ucnt, or perhaps. a brother Senator. He
heard nothing however, for two weeks,
when he was called upon by an old friend
who belonged to the ministry and was cre-
ated by wise Providence to look after the
charities and welfare of other people. The
Rev. Mr.. Spoke wore a white choker and a
white hat, with the usually seedy clothes per-
tanning to these good men who look for re-
ward in another and better world for their
work done in this. When he saw Senator
Corwin, he burst into tears. The political
humorist, thinking that Mrs. S., or some of
their numerous relatives, had departed life,
hastencd to ask the meaning of this sudden
grief.
'Ah Governor Corwin," responded the
poor man, II thought never to call on you
again. The last time l was here you sent
word to me, by your servant, to 60 to-to go
to-?"
"Bless my soul! my soul Y cried Corwin,
"was that you? feared it was one Of my
constituents, and my constituents are such
id fools, while you are too sensible to mind
such an absurd message. Here, let me give
yon ten dollars, for the ready rcl ief Of aged
clergymen.'

Time has a wonderful power in taking the
conceit out of persons. when young man
first emerges from the school and enters upon
the career of life it is painfully amusing to
witness his self-sufliciency. He would have
the world to know that he has ''learned ALL 81
But as he grows older he grows wiser, he
learns that he knows great deal less than
he supposed he did, and by the time he reach
es three-score years, he is prepared to adopt
as his own the sentiment OF John Wesley,
"When was young was sure of everything
in a few years, having been mistaken thou
sand times, was not half as sure of most
things as was before. At present, am hard
ly sure anything but what God has revealed
to man.

WOOL MATTRESS.

Thirty pounds of wool makes good generous
mattress. 1t should be thoroughly washed and
carded before being put in the tick. Buy good
quality of ticking and in ten or fifteen years you
may find desirable to rip it to pieces, wash the
tick, card the wool over again, and the whole af-
fair will be as good as new. You need mattress

ticking yard wide) is pattern for mattress. But
it is well to measure the bestead for which you are
making a tick, and have it fit just right. Wool IN
mattresses never wears out. N. Y. Tribune.
