! From Chambers Journal.l
We know an old lady. as blithe body
as ever lived in this world, who, years
ago, prepared becoming garments ready
for her last Journey. David Garrick' $
widow religiously preserved her wedding
sheets, that they might serve her for a
shrouds In 1863 a young married lady
was, at her express. desire, buried in all
I'her wedding fuery, consisting Of white
negligee and petticoats quilted into a
mattress, pillow and lining for her coffin;
her wedding-shft was her windipg-sheet,
and she wore fine point lace tucker,
handkerchief, rufiies and apron, and q
lappet head ofthe same costly materials.
Diamond earrings were placed in her
ears gemmed rings on her fingers, and
valuable necklace round her neck;
white silk stockings and silverspangled
shoes with stone buckles completed
her costume. A Norfolk gentleman
preserved such a happy recollection of
matrimonial life that when, at the age
of ninety-one, he lay on his death bed,
he gave instructions that he should be
buried in his wedding shirt, which he
had carefully kept for the purpose, that
garment being supplemented with his
best suit of clothes, his best wig, his
silver-buckled shoes, black wrist ribbons,
and his favorte walking cane. Marga-
ret Coosins who was buried in Cuxton
churchyard, Kent, in 1888. ordered her
body to be attired in scarlet satin, put
in mahogany coffin having a loose lid,
and placed upon trestles in vault un-
der pyramidal monument, the glass
doors Of the vault being covered with
green silk curtains. Another example
of vanity strong in death was afforded
us few years ago, when a wealthy court
milliner left strict injunctions behind
her that her body should be EMBODIED in
point-lace.

From the New YORK IrlDune.I
In truth, 10 change Of form in our
architecture will bring security. That
must proceed from a change in the ma
terials employed. In Florence, Rome,
Naples and other Continental cities the
casa outlasts the latest generations of
the family that reared II; the palace re-
mains long after the dynasty has per-
ished. They build more wisely than we,
of material which neither burn nor de-
cav. The Florence of our age is the
Florence of the next. In Genoa we
look upon the porches and facades
which Columbus looked upon, may even
lodge in the chambers where he may
have lodged; in Venice we sail under
the seulptureda cornices and grinning
gargoyles which Swallowed the annual
marriage journey Of the Bucentaur for
half dozen centuries. Paris and
Madrid, Amsterdam and London, Vienna
and Dresden, abide from generation to
generation, waxing always in interest
aud accommodating in splendor 1t is
only in America that the cities OF one
day are the bale fires of the next, and it
is perhaps time that we adopted new
arts Of construction and more certain
and efficient methods Of preservation.
But it will be utterly absurd and be.
nighted to visit upon the graceful and
becoming architectural device of Mon
sieur Mansart the penalty which is due
to our own stupid negligence and folly.

A new avenue Of employment is now
opened to women. The proprietor of q
large hotel at Holyoke, Massachusetts,,
weary Of the insufferable impudence to
guests Of male clerks, bethought him to
try the experiment of putting a lady in
that position. A young lady was en-
ployed, who not only attended to all her
office duties faithfully and we'll, but also
had charge of the large library. The
guests say no one ever looked so well
after their comfort as the lady clerk has
done. Another result of her presence
at the desk was the frequent gathering
in the Office of the lady guests of the
house, thus banishing smoking and
horse talk among the gentlemen.

1t is said that Lord Walter Campbell,
who was lately in mercantile firm in
New York, wished to marry an Ameri-
can young lady of good position in the
Empire State. Upon his applying to
the young lady's father, the parent
stated that he always referred all those
questions to his wife. The mother in
her turn stated that she must refer it TO
the Duke of Argyle. The Duke pleaded
that, considering his connection with
ROYALTY, he must consult his eldest son.
The Marquis could do nothing without
the Queens consent. Her Majesty felt
that the issue must be referred to the
Duke of Saxe-C obourg- Gotha as head of
the family. The Duke rejoined that
since the recent changes in Germany. he
looked upon the Emperor William as his
sovereign, and must bow to his advice.
The Emperor said he could do nothing
without Prince Bismarcks opinion; and
Prince Bismarck declared he had no
opinion at all, one way or the other; and
so the question-to marry or not to
marry-was brought to deadlock.

THE "FAT SHEEP. ."-Some twenty
five years ago, when ! was pastor Of a
church in --, / took occasion one eve
ming to visit social meeting, in the
church occasions. One after another gave
in his or her experience. After time
man in humble circumstances, small in
statue, and an efeminate, squeaking
voice, rose to give in a piece Of his expe-
rience, which was done in the following
manner:
d" Brethren, / have been a member of
this church many years. | have seen
hard times. My family have been much
afflicted, but have for the first time in
my life to see my pastor or the trustees
Of this church cross the threshold Of my
door"
No sooner had he uttered this part Of
eperience than he was suddenly interrupt
ed by one Of the trustees, an aged man,
who rose up and said in firm, loud
voice
"My dear brother, you must put the
devil behind you"
On taking his seat the pastor in charge
arose and replied to the little man as fol-
lows
" My dear brother, you must remem-
Der that we shepherds are sent to the lost
sheep Of the house of Israel"
Whereupon the little man rose again,
and in answer said in very loud tone Of
voice
" les and if I'd been a fat ono you'd
have found me long ago"
The effect upon the audience can be
better imagined than described.

PATENTED 1869.

In introducing this BURGLAR-PROOF Safe
to the American public, the Manufacturers
offer Safe not burglar-prOUf merely in name,
but one which may be surely relied upon to
defy all the efforts of the most accomplished
burglars lOr longer period of time than they
can ever have to operate on a safe.
There is no other safe in the market which,
by means of the most approved appliances,
may not be opened by skilled burglars in from
six to ten hours of uninterrupted attack.
The DREADNAUGHT SAFE, it is admit
ted by scientific and practical men, will resist
for all time the uninterrupted attack of skilled
burglars, provided with the most modern ap-
pliances which can be carried or introduced
into any Bank, Vault or Counting Room, as no
equal power can be brought to bear in any
such place as to overcome tho strength and
combination Of the material used and the
mode OF construction.
POWDER or NITR0-GLYCERTNE cannot
be introduced into it, WEDGES cannot be
employed to open it. The Oxy-hydrogcn Blow
pipe only opons the way to new and inSur-
mOuntable difficulties before which the boldest
burglars would shrink in despair Drills, even
though diamond pointed, cannot penetrate its
walls. II Is impossible to drive in a bolt so as
to ma ke an aperture for introducing explosives
as no bolt in the safe passes entirely through
the wal Isl and no bolt pcnetrates through the
outer she'll Tho position Of the bolts their
construction, size, and the way they are in
serted, all combine to add to the difficulty
and perpleXity of the burglar who attempts TO
open the Safe.
