A Joke on n Tailor.

In Boston, many years ago, there lived
las there do now, we venture to say two
young fellows, rather waggish in their
ways, and who were in the habit
of patronizing rather extensively a
tailor by the name of Smith. Well, one
day, into his shop these two young bloods
strolled. Says one of them:
Smith, we've been making a bet. Now,
we want you to make each of us a suit of
clothes; wait till the bet is decided, and
the one that loses will pay the whole. {"
Certainly, young gentleman; shall be
most happy to serve you" says Smith,
and forthwith their measures were taken,
and in due time the clothes were sent
home. A month or two passed by, and
yet our friend, the tailor saw nothing of
his customers. One day, however, he met
them, and thinking that ID was almost
time the bet was decided, he made up to
them and asked how their clothing fitted.
"Oh !" excellently, says one: "by the by.
Smith, our bet isn't decided yet" "Ah ~
says Smith, "what is to" "Why. 1 bet
that when Bunker Hill Monument fdUs Il
VtN JdH toUard the South! Bill, here, took
me up, and when the bet is decided We'll
call and pay you that little BILL" Smith,
face stretched to double its usual length,
but he soon recovered his wonted good
humor.

THE MORSE MEMORIAL IN WASHING.

Speeches and Incidents.

The Morse nemorialservices in the Re

ate. Speaker Blaine laid Off the great cleo

Less than thirty years ago man of

cuniary aid that enabled him to test GER

had laboriOusly evolved. Tonight the re-
representatives. of forty millions of people
assembled in their legislative hall TO do
homage an honor to the name of Morse.
Great discoveries and inventors rarely live
to witness the full development and per
lection of their mighty conceptions. but to
him whose death we now mourn and
whose fame we celebrate, it was in Gods
good province vouchsafed otherwise. The
little thread of wire placed as n limited ex-
pertinent between the national capital and
neighboring city grew and heightened
and multiplied with almost the rapidity of
the electric current that darted along its
iron nerves until within his own lifetime
continent was bound unto continent, hem
isphere answered through oceans deptbs
unto hemisphere, and an encircled globe
flashed forth his eulogy in the unmatched
elements of grand achievement
OUTsTRIPPING TIME ITSELF.
The meeting, as we said before, was held
Thursday night, the 10th inst. To illus

A JUBILEE REHEARSAL.
Four Thousand voices I'm Chorus.

a correspondent of the New York Post
heard a rehearsal of four thousand singers
! giving Mendelsohn's st. Paul. He
| tells how the singers were arranged:
The two balconies OH the right were oc-
cupied by the tenors. The BASES extend
ed from the stage along both of the oppo-
site balconies, and filed the end, crowding
! close upon the tenors. The stage and one
half the floor extending far back to the
rear, and all the doorways, were filled by
the sopranos, while the altos occupied all
the available space left. BY count there
were one thousand singers i'm each mart
four thousand in each choir.
:, On the edge of the platform stood one of
Bostou's institutions" Carl Zerrahn.
Next to Mr.. Gilmore, the success of the
Jubilee rests more OH his shoulders than
on that of any other man.
With n pleasing German accent, in n
voice that could be heard to the farthest
reach of the place, the conductor an
nouneed the page, and said i'm his usual
quaint fashion Tenors begin Look at
me, gentlemen watch my sign.n With
an absorbed attention almost amusing, the
four thousand pair of eyes were fixed on
the conductor-one bar from the piano,
and in a sort of subdued musical roar,
from a thousand tongues came the OPEN
ing theme:
See what love hath the Father"
The baton waved over the altos, and like
one voice, they began:
See what love hath the Father
a wide sweep of the baton round the
nail, and the other parts came i'm softly i'm
n sort of suppressed thunder:
See what love hath the Father bestowed on
us in his goodness"
We could feel the carved case of the or
gan tremble, but could not hear it. Now
each part alone, now in duet and trio ris- |
ing, falling, swelling out abruptly, and |
into a powerful "piano," if you |
can imagine such thing, smoothly and |
correctly they sang it through to the end. |

Great Mems Wives.

Milton married the daughter of a coun-
try squire, but lived with her short time.
lie was an austere, exactine literary re-
cluse, while she was rosy, romping coun-
try lass, that could not endure the re-
straint imposed upon her, so they sepa-
rated. Subsequently, however. she re-
turned and they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria aud Prince Albert were
cousins, and about the only example in
the long line of English monarchs where
IN the marital vows were sacredly observ-
ed and sincere affection existed.
Shakespeare loved and welded farmers
daughter. She was faithful to her vows,
but could hardly say the same of the great
bard himself. Like most of the great
poets he showed too little discrimination
in bestowing his affections on the other
sex.
Byron married Miss Milbank to get
money to pay his debts. 1t turned out a
bad shift
Peter the Great. of Russia, married a
peasant girl. She made an excellent wife
and sagacious Empress.
Edward Lytton Bulwer, the English
statesman and novelist, married a girl
much his Inferior in position and got a
shrew for wife. She is now insane.

The Silver Rule.

You all know the golden rule, "Do unto
others as you would wish them to do unto
you" Here is a rule which is almost a
part OF the golden rule, but which we will
put by itself, and because of its value call
it the Silver Rule. "Think and say all
you can of the good qualities of others;
forget and keep silent concerning their
bad qualities You cannot conceive how
much such course will tighten Your own
happiness and raise you i'm the esteem of
your companions. Did you ever think
any more of boy or girl because he or
she found fault with others? Never call
your sehoolmates or playmates ugly or
cross to their face or behind their backs.
II they are ugly, or stingy, or cross, it
or think about it, while 1t makes yon love
to dwell upon the faults of others, and
causes your own soul to grow smaller and
become like the foul bird that prefers car
can, and try to think of some good quality
of your mates.

DON'T ROwD .

Don't crowd, your world is broad enough
For you as well as ne;
The doors of art are open wide
The realm of thought is free.
In all earth's places you are right
To chase the best you can
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart,
BY fostering all that's bad,
But give to every virtue room
The best that may be had
BE each days record such one
That you may well be proud:
Give each his right-give each his room,
And never try to crowd.

1t is fashionable at this season for ladies
70 invite their young gentlemen TO break
fast instead of dinner or supper
Imitation lace is more used for trimming
this season than the real, as it is much
more durable and not half so expensive.
Ladies are having the front Breadth of
their overskirts, with two small fancy
pockets, trimmed with lace and bows of
ribbons.
The new Genoese stripe, which comes
with white goods, has peculiar gloss like
that OF silk, and will be much used for
summer dresses.
"A new style of material for mourning
dresses for summer wear is called batiste,
and is light tan color, striped with white
or colored satin stripes.

General Sherman is having such an ova-
ton abroad as must cheer the very cookies
OF his heart. When he was in Egypt, the
other day, the Khedive not only gave him
something TO eat at breakfast, but had
several grand reviews for him, in which
the descendants of Pharoah, Mordecai,
Hannah. and other historical gents figured
AS officers and soldiers. Special railroad
trains were placed at his disposal, and
sped him across old burial places, where
respectable old mummies had been reposing
for ever So many millions of years.
