A Woman Marries Her Step-Father

st. Louis Republican New York Letter
A man on the east side, a merchant
doing small business, died two years
ago, leaving widow and daughter OF
twenty. The principal clerk had been
for some time sweet on the younger la
dy; but shortly after papa's demise sew
eral passages of saccharine nature pass
ed between mamma and the clerk.
Mamma had one attraction that Miss
did not, she had the business, which
was paying one. Therefore before
long the young lady was outraged at the
want of respect due her fathers mem
ery-that permitted his shoes to be
filled by the late clerk. As papa No. 2,
her lover was upbearable, and the Tilted
daughter left the house. The mother
enjoyed her matrimonial felicity about
eight months, when she had loud call,
probably from the defunct, for she answered
promptly In that direction. The quondam
clerk, with heart-rending weed on his
spring has, set sail for his old love, the
daughter of bis old wife, and whether
the laws of this glorious country admit
the deed or not, the fool of girl is go
ing to marry her step father. And that
is step further in the matrimonial than
ever heard of before.

A GREAT Ev1L.-Dr. Guthrie
says: s'Beforc God and man, before
the Church and the world, I impeacb
intemperance. [ charge it with the
murder of innumerable souls. In
this country, blest with freedom and
plenty, the word of God and the
liberties of the true religion, I charge
1t as the cause-whatever be their
sourse elsewhere-of almost all the
poverty, and almost all the crime,
and almost all the misery, and al
most all the ignorance, and almost
all the irreligion that disgrace and
af1ict the land. Il am not mad
most noble Festus. I speak the
words of truth and soberness.' [ do
in my conscience believe that these
intoxicating stimulants have sunk
into perdition more men and women
than found their grave in that deluge
which swept over the highest hill
tops, enguling world of which but
eight were saved.

STOP AND THINK.

Girls, stop and think! What about
About whatever you are doing. If you
are at work in the kitchen, and need
some article from the pantry or cupboard
stop and think of all the articles you may
need from there in the next few minutes,
and make one journey do for half dozen.
And perhaps you may think of several
things that may be returned to their pla.
ces at the same time, thus making a
double saving of time and muscle.
If you are cooking, stop and think OF
every thing you need before you begin
that batch of bread or pies, instead of
being obliged to take your hands out of
the dough two or three times to run down
cellar after butter or lard, or into the
pantry for sugar or nutmeg. fyou have
quantity of sewing, or other work to do.
stop and think what will be needed first,
and what you could do without in case
of hinderance, instead of doing perhaps
the least necessary thing first, and find
ing yourself at the last moment in a per.
feet hurry burly to finish what you have.
And so with everything you do, stop and
think whether you are doing it in the
most profitable manner or not.
We often hear people say of womer
who "turn off work" very fast.-I once
asked a woman who bore such a reputa
ton, how she did it. 'By thinking
what | am about /; by killing two birds
with one stone, and making one step de
the work of halfa dozen," was her reply
Of course it would not do to think long
er of a thing than it would take to do it.
unless it was for the sake of forming the
habit Of thoughtsulness. But do not try
to think of one thing while you are doins
another, unless the work in hand be very
monotonous indeed.
When I was schoolgirl, [ thought i
a great saving of time to do two things
at once, and my grammer shows the
marked effects of being held in nv lar
while I churned, or propped up behinc
the table while [ washed dishes. Blu
learned that / could neither study O,
work as fast, and it paid to be done one
at time. So keep your thoughts on the
work you are doing.

The Supreme Court of Florida in
a decision first rendered, holds that
bonds voted to railroad CORPORATE on
are legal and valid. The opinion of
the Court is very brief, and the only
question at issue was whether Or not
bonds voted in that manner we're
for public improvements.

Somebody says some men think thew
are sober because they foreswear ardent
spirits. Many people get fuddled with
love, more get drunk with vanity, while
passion trips up ones heels, and trans
forms him into beast. Reason is your
only tee-totaller.
