"Have you forgotten the three glasses a
day you INDUCED me in for so many years?"
replied Lizzie, smiling at the look of
asazement with which her husband sur
veyed the large collection of fire, ten, and
twenty-five cent pieces which formed the
contents of the work box.
"Is it possible that you treasured it up
in this manner, my little wife?"
"I saved it against time of need, Will
liam dear; it is all yours now. There is
more than fee hundred dollars there. We
may keep our own dear homer
"And am free man once more, thanks
to my own dear wife" exclaimed William,
a. he clasped her to his bosom. II nccept
your GIFT, love, as freely as it is given.
Strange that both sorrow and gladness
should be caused by dtfce glasses day }"
Years passed on The busy sound of
the blacksmith's hammer was still heard
in the little shop. The gray-haired gen.
tleman still smoked his pipe, as, with a
complacent air, he watched his industrious
son at his work, and both at the old home
stead and the cottage all was sunshine
and happiness. The dark cloud had in
deed passed away.-Wood's Household Mag

he pounds the handle with great force, and
drives it up through the bristles, till the
large end is where he wants it. That
makes it much tighter than he could tie 1t.
You look at one and see how tight 1t is.
It's funny to see msn make scrub
bring brush. He takes piece of wood
already fixed for him, with holes bored all
over It. Then he takes up little bundle
of bristles, makes them even at one end,
dips them into melted pitch-wh:ch prob
ably, you know, is the blackest and stick
lest stuff you ever saw-then he winds
piece of twine around them, dips again in
to the pitch, and just sticks it into the
hole with one twist. There it stays in
spite of hot water and hard scrubbing.
Hair brushes are not quite so easy to
make. Did you ever see hair brush with
the back off, showing little zigZags OF fine
wire all over it?
Well, the way it is made is this Holes
large enough for the punches of bristles:
are bored all over the brush back, part 1dy
through; and much smaller holes are bored
clear through. The workman takes tuft
OF bristles, doubles it over a piece of fine
wire, puts the wire through the little hole,
and draws the bristles up as far as the big
hole goes. That holds it tight and it goes
to the next hole, using the same wire.
When they are all in, the bristles are cut
off square, and fancy back glued on to
hide the wire. So you can't see what holds
the bristles so tightly.
Tooth brushes are made the same way,
only the little holes for the wire come out
on the side, and when it is done they are
corked up with tiny ivory plugs. You
would not notice them unless you
looked for them. Some brushes have as
many as thousand holes to fill
But notwithstanding the great quanti-
ties of bristles told you are used, they use
also for brushes hair from the backs of our
fur-coated friends horse hair and goat hair
for hat-brushes; fibres of whalebohe for
very hard brushes broom-corn and coco2-
nut fibre; and even spun glass, to use in
acids which will eat up ordinary brushes.
How many kinds of brushes do you sup
pose they make in brush factory?
I'll tell you few.
There are paint brushes, dust st-brushos,
artists brushes, distemper-brushes Il hope
somebody knows what they're for), shoe
brushes, tooth-brushes, nail-brushes, BAN
ister-brushes, scrubbing- brushes, shaving
brushes, hair-brushes, f1esh-brushes, bot
tie brushes, hatbrushes, velvet-brushes,
window brushes, crumb- brushes, carpet
brushes-the brooms belong to the brush
| family-hearth-bro store-brooms, Ia
ble-brooms-and / don't suppose that's
near all the kinds they make.-Ihe In

THE MANGO TREE.


BY @. KINGSLEY
He wiled me through the furry croft;
He wiled me down the sandy lane.
He told his boys love, softand Oft,
Until told him mine again.
We married and we sailed the main
A soldier and soldiers wife.
we marched through many burning plains
we sighed for many gallant life.
But his.God kept IT safe from harm.
He toiled, and dared and earned command.
And those three stripes upon his arm
Were more to me than gold or land.
Sure he would win some great renown:
Our lives were strong, our hearts were high.
One night the fever struck him down.

One week had them, blithe and sound.
The next-beneath this Inango-tree,
By him in barraek bIrying ground.
sit beneath the mango shade;
live my i've years life all DER
Round yonder stems his children played;
He mounted guard at yonder door.
IT is l, not they, am gone and dead;
Their spirits light the golden shade
Beneath tue giant mango-tree.
Ali things, save I, are full of life:
The minas, plumiDg velvet breasts;
The monkeys, in their foolish strife;
The swooping hawks, the swinging nests.
The lizards basking on the soil;
The butte rifles who sun their wings;
The bees about their household toll;
They live, they love, the blissful things.
Each tender purple mango-shoot
That folds and droops so bashful down;
1t lives; it sucks some hidden root;
1t rears at last broad green crown.
Itblossoms; and the children cry,
watch when the mango apples fall!"
1t lives; but rootless. fruitless, L
breathe and dream;- and that is all.
Thus am dead; yet cannot die;
But still within my foolish brain
There hangs pale blue evening sky;
Afurzy croft, a sandy lane.

Hints In Regard to Injuries from Gum
Powder.

A BURN caused by the explosion of gun
powder generally seems much worse than
it really is, owing to the deposit of black
powder upon the surface. Soft pieces of
old linen dipped in cold water will afford
relief at first, and, in some cases, pow
dered starch or flour, forms soothing ap-
plication; but as soon as the first moments
of distress are over, a dressing should be
applied composed of equal parts of lime
water and linseed oil. As soon as practi-
cable the grains of powder that lodge in
the skin should be removed with needle
or the point of lancet. If this is not
done, the burn will heal over them, and
the surface ever after will be disngured
with BLUSH mark In cases of raw burns,
the whites of eggs well-beaten, and then
applied to the surface with soft camels-
hair brush, sometimes will give immediate
relief: but wherc blisters are raised, great
care should be taken not to tear them; if
they are cautiously punctIred with a nee
die. the water beneath will run out and
they will fall, thus forming perfect pro-
lection. Burns should always be protect
ed from immediate contact with the air

CAXDLEMAs.-To-day is the anniver-
sary Of the presentation Of Christ in the
Temple, commonly called the Purfica-
ton, in commemoration Of the mother
of Our Savior making the accustomed
offering of pair OF turtle doves. Can
dlemas is one Of the days on which the
weather-wise have written many proph-
ecies. One Of these says
IfCandlemas day be fair and bright
Winter will have another flight,
But II Candlemas Day be clouds and rain
Winter IL gone and will not come again.
This is 10 accordance with the Amer
lean superstition in regard to the Ground
Hog. If the Ground Hog or Wood
Chuck, on leaving the warm nest where
he has been so coy all winter, sees his
shadow in the sun to-day, he at once
returns to his quarters, for there is to be
six weeks more cold weather. II, how
ever, it should be a dull and gloomy
DAY and no shadow should be seen
by G. H., then does he remain above
ground, for the winter is over and gone.
We don't take much stock in G.. II. He
has fooled us several times, and We
would not advise our readers to 20 in
swimming just yet, even if Mr.. Ground
Hog don't see his shadow.

".SpalGngs Prepared Clue

THE old reliable soap manufacturing
house Of Enoch Morgan's Sons: estab-
lished in 1869, in New York City, has
placed in our market their new Century
Soap, which they recommend on the
score of excellence and economy. 1t
will not injure the most delicate fabric.
1t requires less quantity, less time and
lees labor than the ordinary family
soap. Pure materials only are used in
its manufacture, ard as each cake is
slightly perfumed it is much more pleas
ant TO Use than other soaps. We think
most families would prefer a soap for
every day use having an agreeable
smell when it can be boughtat reason
able price. The Century is offered at
the same price as other family soaps,
and will without doubt become "ihe
soap" for retail dealers. Messrs. Simp-
son, Boyd a. Co. handle the Century in
large quantities.

Police CoURT.-Y esterday gave lis
one of those scenes in the Police Court
that, we are gratiied in being able to
say, do not often occur here, and which
we hope never to see again. An old
lady, named Mary Morrison, was arrest
ed for being drunk on John street, in
East Wheeling, where her almost help
less condition was made the sport Of
unfeeling boys, who aided her falls by
every means in their power. The old
lady was the very picture Of shame and
penitence as she stood before Judge
Good 1t is sickening sight to us to
see an old man, trembling on the brink
of the grave, in state Of intoxication.
What shall we say then Of woman, a
grandmother, perhaps, arrested for be-
ing beastly drunk. We hope never to
see it again. She was fined 81 and
costs.
Jennie Lecount has for about two
years absented herself from trouble and
from Wheeling. 1t was reported once
that she was dead, but she has author
lied us to contradict such reports, as
she don't believe there is a word of
truth in them. The trouble with Jen-
ME is temper. She can get mad quicker
and stay mad longer than any person
we ever heard of. When she is mad
her great antipathy is to window glass.
Whenever she sees it she aches for the
panes. On Monday and Tuesday mig hts
she made an attack in force on the
lights in a ceuple Of houses in North
Wheeling. She never interferes with
the livers. She was arrested aud fined
$40 and costs In default she is to visit
Castle Kennedy for twenty days.

The CIGAR STORE RoBBERY.-Some
two weeks since we had an item in re-
gard to sthe robbery OF Capt f. c.
Moore, on John street, and stated that
the burglars were unknown. From
what afterwards transpired circum.
stances pointed to James Gallagher and
Albert Price as having committed the
deel. Gallagher was arrested some
days since and turned States evidence.
He says that he and Price got into the
cellar and broke hole through an old
trap door, gaining access to the store
above. Price was arrested Yesterday
and taken before Squire Johnston for
examination. In default Of $500 bail
he was committed to answer. Gala
CHER gave bail for his appearance.

On THE WAR PATH-The noted col
ored warrior Charlie Morris is always in
trouble. The colored brethering and
sistering cannot have a gathering
or festival or merry making of any
sort, but Charley slaps his foot into the
fun and upsets it all. On Tuesday
night there was festival or tea party
held by them in the old City Hall, over
the market house. Charley was there
breathing dire vengeance against Scott
the eminent peanut vender. Charley
had been presented with quarter
which he says Scott stole and spent tor
whisky. He was 80 ADVANTAGEOUS and
roared so loudly as to disturb the
peace. He was tried before Judge Good
yesterday afternoon at A o'clock. He
was fined IS and costs, and in default
lingereth on the changing for ten days,

.AssAULT.-Pat Hatton, who diSclaims
any relationship with Powhattan or
Manhattan, went before Squire Gillespy
on Tuesday and had warrant issued
for the arrest of Ed. Grant, whom he
accused Of assaulting him with a poker
and using threats towards him, bloody
in their design and terrible to contem-
plate. Grant was arrested yesterday,
and on being brought before the Squire,
the parties amicably adjusted their diff
ferences, and settled the matter without
a law suit.
