GOING HOME WITH SALLY.

One bright moonlight winters night
in the days of ''lang .syne," when school
houses, cheap schoolmasters and blue
beech rods were the only instrumental
ties used for teaching the ''young idea
how to shoot" we CHANGED to attend a
spelling school in certain rural dis
trict, the geographical location of which
it is not now necessary to mention.
Twas there, however, where my eyes
first fell on a '.fairy FORM that immedi-
ately set my susceptible heart in blaze.
She was sixteen or thereabout with
bright eyes, red cheeks and cherry lips.
while the auburn ringlets clustered in a
wealth of profusion around her beauti-
full head and her person, to my ravish-
ed imagination, was more perfect IN
form and outline than the most faultless
statue ever chiseed by the sculptor S

and determined to go home with her

soon, therefore, as school was dismissed,
and our 'lady love- suitably bonneted
and cloaked, | approached to offer my
services as contemplated, and | ther

A PLEASING STORY.

Here is novel without fiction, con-
densed into reliable space, and told off
without any fuss The New York Times
says:
We heard a pretty little incident the
other day, which we cannot help relat-
ing. A young lady from the South, it
appears, was wooed and won by ply
sician living in California When the
engagement was made, the doctor was
rich having been very successful in San
Francisco. 1T had not been six months,
however. when, by unfortunate invest
ments, he lost his entire heap"
This event came upon him it should
be added, just as he was making ready
to claim his bride What does he do !
Why like an honest and chivalrous
young fellow as he is. he sits down and
writes the young lady of the unhappy
change that had taken place in his for
tunes, assuring her that if the fact pro
duced any change in her feelings towarC
him, she was released from every prom
ise she had made to him. And wha
does the dear good girl do? Why, sh

takes lump of gold, which her lover
sent to her when in prosperity, as a
keepsake, and having it manufactured
into a ring, forwarded it to him, with
the following inscription engraved dis
tinctly ON the inside;
"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee; for
whittier thou goest I will 60 and whith-
er thou lodgest l will lodge; thy people
shall be my people and thy God my

We may add that fortune soon again

that he subsequently, returned to the
South, to wed the faithful girl. Nay,
more, the happy bride and groom pass
ed through our city, not long since. on
their way to the home of the latter in
the Golden State. Reader, this is al
true. Young ladies who read the Bible
as closely as the heroine of our incident
seems to have done, are pretty sure tc

Methodist Church split on that question,
he moved into Illinois, where the re-
mainder of his life was spent In No.
vember, 1912, be was first appointed
presiding elder, being assigned to the
Wabash district. This Office he held
until the time of his death, performing
its duties for eight years in the old West
ern Conference. eight years in the Ten
nessee Conference, four years in the
Kentucky Conference, and forty-fve years
in the Illinois Conference, beside having
charge in the Western Conference of sew
en- different pastorates, being returned
to one of them the second year. In the
Tennessee Conference he served four
years as presiding elder, and four as
pastor, serving each charge two years.
About 1880, Mr. Cartwright was elect
ed to the State Legislature from Sanga-
mon county, and made himself quite for
midable to the baser sort of politicians
in that body. He was always ready to
attack dishonest or suspicious measure,
and never did it in halfway manner.
The trade IF politics was not to his
taste, however, and he soon retired, de-
voting himself exclusively to the duties
of the ministry. During his nearly sew
enty years of service he saw the church
he represented increase from less than
seventy-fve thousand members to nearly
two million. As one of the landmarks
of Western Methodism, and as one of
the most thorough and indefatigable
workers that church has ever known,
Peter Cartwright will long be held in
remembrance, and his many virtues will
remain to bless the denomination for
which he so long and faithfully labored.

into execution, l seemed to be stricken

delight to find the object of love cling

Talk of elysian, or sliding down creased

to those mighty ones that swelled my
bosom nigh unto bursting off my waist

ply ecstatic, and every young lady or
gentleman who has ever felt the mighty
throbbings of newly pledged love, will
completely understand that common
word.
Well, we walked on pleasantly to-

ly and sweetly as we passed along, until
so courageous did L become that [ actu-

Alas for us how soon were we to be re-
minded that the .'course of true love
never did run smooth
Sally had brother of some ten sum-
mers, who accompanied us along the
way and who was in wonderful high
spirits at the idea of his sisters having
a beau, and he would circle around US,
every now and then giggling in the
height of his glee, and examining us as
closely as if Sally and myself were the
world d-renowned Siamese twins. and he
was taking his first look. Bill, by the
way, was a stubbed, chuckle- headed boy

PETER CARTWRIGHT.

On Wednesday last, at Pleasant
Plains, Sangamon county, ILL.,, died Pc
ter Cartwright, the oldest ordained men,
Der of the Methodist Church in the Unit
ed States, at the advanced age of eighty
seven. There are few people in this
country but have heard or read Of this
eccentric, energetic, WARM hearted old
border preacher, who, for sixty-eight
years, devoted himself to the cause of
his Master, laboring in season and out
of season, and never in all that time lift
ing his hand from the plough or pausing
to look regretfully back. In many of
his prominent characteristics he was the
counterpart of the late Father Taylor.
There was the same irrepressible zeal,
the same bluntness, the same sympathy,
the same hate of sham and can't. There
was no fear, save the fear of God, in him.
There are those living who have seen
him s'clean OUT crowd of the ungodly
who had congregated to disturb the gath
erings over which he presided, and yet
it was always done in the way of duty,
never of anger. Many of our readers
will remember the story which even now,
occasionally, goes the rounds of an anon
ymous itinerant preacher ON Western
circuit. whom fighting blacksmith un-
dertook to fog, in fulfillment of VOW
registered to that purpose, but who was
most ANONYMOUSLY thrashed and made
to repeat the Lords Prayer. The story
was true one, and the representative
of the church militant, on that occasion,
was the Rev. Peter Cartwright. He was
rough and uncultured, but his eloquence
was genuine, and reached the hearts of
the humble and unlettered pioneers of
those early days better than the more
polished utterances of greater pulpit
lights could have done.
Peter Cartwright was born on the first
day of September, 1855, in Amherst
county, Va. His father was a soldier
in the Revolutionary army, and after the
declaration of peace, removed with his
family to Kentucky, which was at that
time almost wilderness. settling in Lo-
gan county. Peter grew up wild un-
manageable boy, fond of cards and gam.
bling, dancing and drinking, and espe
cially given to horse-racing. At the
age of seventeen he was converted at {
Methodist camp-meeting held near hi'
fathers house, and two years later, hav
ing attained considerable reputation al
an exhorter, was permitted by license t.
exercise his gifts in that direction. III,

SEA-SICKNESS.

To be thoroughly sea-sick is to have
reached the maximum of physical dis
comfort. And sea-sickness is one of
those helpless maladies, defying medi-
cal explanation or skill. Dozens of
doctors have started scores of theories
regarding it, and prescribed no end of
drugs and palliations, but all to no pur-
pose. Old wives have gone to the
depth of their wisdom for remedies, and
in their search have failed as signally
as the doctors. Now science comes to
the rescue with the universal and un-
changeable principle of gravitation,
and in the person of Mr.. Bessemer, the
inventor, bids the world watch for the
results of experiments now in progress.
Mr.. Bessemer has been to sea-has
experienced the dreadful qualms of NAL
da mer-but has followed the nautical
plan of keeping his eye on the compass.
In crossing the British channel, where
the steamers do everything but keep
steady, and the passengers do anything
but keep we'll, he has watched the COM
pass swinging in its many pivoted case,
always right side up, and always steady
and true. Happy thought: A big CON-
pass upon which passengers shall olive,
move, and have their being" notwith-
standing the unsteady behavior of the
boat. Precisely on the same principle
that the compass is protected from the
motion of the sea, Mr.. Bessemer means
to protect travellers If he is successful,
all that 90 down to the sea in ships will
rise up and call him blessed, for, how.
ever the sea may rise and the waves may
roll, the happy passengers will sit Sc
rene and smiling in saloon wherein
no motion is experienced saloon hung
amidship, as the compass is hung in it,
box.
Of course, it remains to be seen
whether or not Mr. Bessemers inven
tion will stand the test of actual use
In the models it has more than answer
ed his expectations, and it has, moreover
received the endorsement of E. J. Reed
the late chief constructor of the Britisl
navy, who looks on this system as

A REMARKABLE HORSE. - When a
brave man dies, or one who has rendered
his fellow being service, it is fitting to
mourn for him, and recount the many
good acts in his life which have made
him so useful and so beloved. Why
not use the same propriety in grieving
for some noble animal, which, by his
constant faithfulness, has endeared him
to all who knew him? We do not
think it beneath the dignity of man
to be attached to so grand an animal as
horse, and it certainly is natural to
mourn for him when he is gone. We
know of a case recently where the death
of horse created real sadness to the
family of which he was an active men,
Der. He had safely carried his master
through many of the hottest battles of
the war, and had been twice wounded
while in the service. Even in his old
age he could not hear the beating of a
drum or the sound of band of music,
without proudly lifting his head and
assuming an attitude of interest and im-
portance. He was twice stolen by the
enemy, each time breaking away and re-
turning to his own camp, once having a
strange saddle blanket on, and bearing
evidence of having forded the river to
reach his old friends. During trans
fer on the Mississippi, when many horses
died for want of food, he gnawed into a
barrel of bacon, and when found, the
grease was running down the sides of
his mouth in most suspicious manner.
The soldiers being pleased with SO plucky
a horse, tried him with 'hard-tack, -
which he seemed to relish as much as
the bacon, and was fed with the same
during the whole trip. They also taught
him to drink whisky. and much to their
shame, got him so ''beastly" drunk that
he ran away with, and nearly demolish-
ed his master. Many "reminiscences
such as these were often told of him
after becoming sedate old family horse
Those who recognize the ''Old Charley
of our sketch will be sorry to learn O.
his death about two weeks ago he will
long be remembered as an honest anG
trustworthy friend as man ever possess

Nothing Like Leather.
In early days our fathers wore

LII Jul IdUItIS WUle
Their home made buck-skin breeches,
Cut out by guess-work measurement,
With leather whanks for stitches,
And now their sons are called again
10 rally meath the banner
Borne by these men of leather-craft,
The Cobbler and the Tanner,
The North and South, the East and West
VIII work and sing together,
And march to glorious victory,
For nothing works like leather.
We have some jobs on mongrel pelts,
And have the hands to do them;
Our Grant will neatly curry them;
And Wilson to wax it to Them
The chopper up at Chappaqua
May go on with his planning;
Well let him furnish all the bark;
But Grant will do the tanning
The thin-skinned chaps will uppers make,
The tough old hides the neither;
The boiling, sorehead crowd will do
For nothing but split-leather
The 'later Franklin, statesman, sage,
Philosopher and farmer,
Retired in cool and rural shades,
AS times grow warm and warmer,
Can milk the gentle butternut,
That grazes round with bell on,
And pan out butter sweet for Gratz
TO spread his watermelon.
Or he may seize his ready pen,
III stormy rainy weather,
And tell the world how shoe-pegs grow,
Or modes of smelling leather
10 spoil so fine husbandman,
Who, percbed up in the city,
Writes quires of what he never knew,
1t surely were pity.
No, let him breed the short-horn duck,
And Poland China gobbler-
Well burden with the cares of State,
The Tanner and the Cobblerl
The grand array of commonwealth
They'll bind as with tether,
That ne'er again shall broken be-
For nothing holds like leather!
The virtues, brains and honesty
Of Horace they poke at US;
As if the Cincinnati fraud
Made him a Cincinnatus
And while he seeks reason brief
Of rural peace and quiet,
Pure water is his only drink,
Pure dirt his only diet!
His old white hat and old white coat
Have served all kinds of weather;
But they are like his principles
They will not wear like leather!
The squad that sought old Chappaqua
To marshal meath his pennon,
Will be surprised to meet our flag
And find there is Hen on!
That flag is borne by gallant hands,
Four million votes behind it:
Alas! Where is the mongrel hope?
$50 West they cannot find it!
Like Grant, when in the Wilderness,
Well ''push" in spite of weather;
And ''on this line we'll fight it out
There nothing is like leather!
Then Freedoms temple, rear it high,
And if we need a cap-stone,
Or key to bind a broken arch,
Take Henry Wilson's lap-stone
To guard we must have man
Who never halts or misses;
We've many soldiers tried and true
None better than Ulyssesl
The Tanner and the Cobbler are
The men who work together;
They'll win the field and keep it, too
For nothing holds like leather!
