A PAIR OF LAYENDER BRIDES.

Eli Perkins, OF the New York Commercial

Homer the other morning for breakfast, and
had the good fortune to meet a ''quartette
bridal party" Of which he thus disoourses:
This morning at the Syracuse House I break

grooms-a sort OF bridal quartette. They we're
from Cortland, 1 think, in the country. l knew
they we're just married from q variety Of rea-
sons. First, when they alighted from the
omnibus to enter the hotel both young ladies
took the arms Of the gentlemen, who said,
Dear, let me carry your satchel."
Just bshind them came some old married
people. knew they had been married some
time. for the men pounced out, starting, lug
gage in hand, straight for the hotel, leaving
their wives with small satchels TO follow, single
file, behind them.
1t breakfast the brides appeared in bridal
lavender. Everything was layender-layender
dresses, lavender hats with lavender strings,
and lavender gloves. If, ever I get married

honeymoon in peace. The young husbands
both wore broadcloth suits and black hats.
Both wore paper collars and cuffs, and one

At breakfast these young husbands didn't
help themselves first when they sat down at
the table, but they turned to the brides in
and said lovingly, Shave a roll,
dsarp" Then they put some butter on the
lavender brides plates, and they looked up
and said, t'Thank you. dear" With q smile too
happy to describe. When breakfast was over
one or the young husbands smiled sweetly, |
ind said:

NOW you SAID 7 might"
''Yes, Charley; just oncel' and then the two
brides stood and looked vacantly out OF the

The old Man Dreamed.
To the silent home of the dead, one day,
An old man came to weep; IN.
And he sat and mused in the twilight grew
TIL his sorrows seemed to melt away,
And he sank in the arms Of sleep;
And the old man dreamed.
He dreamed a dream Of buried years,
When his limbs were 1.-the and strong;
And he felt anew his hopes and fears,
And wept anew his childish tears,
And sang his boyish song;
For the old man dreamed.
From the distant shores of the long ago,
A sweet voice seemed to speak
And it breathed his name so soft and low,
There swept DER his face delicate glow,
Like the blush on niaidens cheek;
For the old man dreamed.
He smiled and breathed the beautiful name
Of Mary" and called her "bride;"
But when the winds from the forest came,
5waying the ivy, they showed that name
On the messy stone by his side;
For the old man dreamed.

Newspaper Grumblers

Horace Greeley hit the nail or
the head when lie says; 1T is
strange how closely the men read
the papers. We never say any.
thing that anybody don't like but
we soon hear of it, and every body
tells US about it. II, however,
once in while we happen to say
6 ol thing, we never hear OF
that-nobody seems to notice it.
We may pay some man Il hundred
compliment S and give him a doz
en- putfs, and he takes it as a trib-
ute to his greatness, and never
thinks OF it-never thinks it does
him any good But if we happen
to say anything this man don't
like, or something that he imag-
ines is a reflection on his charac-
ter. see how cuick lie flares up
and gets excited about it. Al
our evils are told to us, bat never,
apparently, get any credit for what
good we do"

An INSURANCE CAsE.-San
Francisco has been interested in
a strange Insurance case. A la
borer decided to insure his life
tor $4,000, and went to the To-
cal agency of a New York COM
pany and took the necessary
steps. The agents forwarded
the papers to New York and in
a day or two after the papers
had been sent the man was MUIR
dered. The agents then tele-
graphed to New York and pre-
vented the issue of the policy.
The widow sued for the amount
of the intended insurance, and
the jury was unable to agree. 1t
is apparent that the law was on
the side of the company, howev-
er much sympathy may have
been on the side of the widow.
One moral can be deduced from
this curious case, and that is that
home institutions should be pat
ronzied. Had this unfortunate
San Franciscan been insured
in a local company, he would
have received his policy in time
TO be murdered.

The Ruling Passion
Strong in Death.

A few years ago David Deshler,
formerly we'll known citizen uf
Alabama, aud father of the Con
iederate Gen. Deshler, who was
killed at Chicamauga, was living
in Philadelphia, and while there,
just previous to his death, wrote
out his will, which yesterday was
probated in the Probate Court on
account of suit pending in the
Supreme Court. The deceased
was a man of large property, and
in his will makes provision for an
equal distribution of the same a.
mong his relations. In said will,
however, he makes the following
exception:
"That any of my said nephews
who may have taken an active
part, Voluntarily, to carry on the
fanatic, barbarous, and unright-
eous war upon the Southern States
of the Union by serving in tie
Union army, so called, or by aid
ing and abetting with their Fer
sonal influence or money in said
unhOly crusade, such shall be ut
terly excluded from any benefit
to be derived from my estate,
considering as | do that they as
sisted in diminishing the value OF
the same to a much iarg amount
than would be their legitimate
share had said war in which they
may have participated not occur
red, or been carried out" All Of.
which goes to show that he lacked
a good deal Of being reconstructed
at the time said instrument of
writing was penned.

Presidential Contests.
A Brief Review of Them From
Washington to Grant.

Those who take an interest In
Presidential elections. from Wash
ington to Grant, will find a brief
review Of them below. The pu
rity of the ancient order Ut things
with us, and the general quiet in
the early contests, except when
the election Of Jefferson was
thrown into the House and Burr
made Vice President, the new era
of Monroe. all contrast strangely
with the turbulence which from
time to time has since prevailed.
Five periods of our political
history are thus summed up:
l. The Washingtonian or FEEDER
al period Of twelve years, includ-
ing the Administrations of Wash.
ington and John Adams, ending
in 1900.
2. The Jefferson or old Re
publican period of twenty years,
embracing Jefferson, Madison and
first four years of Monroe, end
ing in 1870.
3 Eight years from the second
election of Monroe to the first
election of Jackson, ending in
1923.
4. The stormy Democratic Pc
riod of thirty-two years, from
Jackson to Lincoln, ending in
1860.
5. The period of the Republi.
can party Of twelve years, from
Lincoln to the present day.

Put it in Writing.

How many misunderstanding
arise from the loose way in which
business matters is dismissed by
each with the words call right. !"
Frequently it turns out all wrong.
and becomes a question for law.
yers and the courts. More than
halt the litigation of the country
would be saved if people would
put down their agreements iu writ
ing. Each word in our language
has its own peculiar meaning, land
memory may, by the change of a
single word, OF even by the change
OF It's position In the sentence, con-
vey an entirely different idea
from that intended. When once
reduced to writing ideas are fixed
inelastic. We once saw an excl
ted captain rush into the presence
of his colonel with grievous COM
plants against his brother officer.
"Stop, stop, caplain!' SAID the cox
onei, ''put your complaint in writ
ing and | will give it attention."
The captain went 70 work vigor-
ously writing his complaint. In
a little while be stopped and COM
nenced laughing. The whole af-
air looked so ridiculously small
when written out that he was
aughing at his own folly in CIV

1900, ,000 During the present

OO0,00G in single day. Three
times as many three-cent stamps
are used as of all denominations
combined; after them come the one
cent, and then the two and six cent.
The last weekly return of the com
pany showed a manufacture OF
over 100000 of finished
stamps.
