Political Anecdotes.

1t is related of a worthy Connecticut
yankee that he declined nomination to an
elective Office on the following grounds:
&C. have lived" he said, ga long and toll
cradle respectable life. have established
my sons in business. have married my
daughters comfortably. My grandchildren
have arisen to call me blessed. can get
up good, audience at family geathering,
all the members of which listen to me with
respect. My neighbors treat me with
courtesy. Shall forfeit all this by setting
up my fame as a target for political oppo-
nents. Decidedly not" Perhaps tho old
gentleman was right. There is, however,
another side of the case and another anec-
dote in point. A blameless and respect
ed old man, like many other "innooents, +"
desired an elective office. He was not
positively good enough to be remarkable,
and there was no striking event in his life,
or point in his character, on which he could
effectively be abused. His nomination
made no show, and he was likely to fall by
default. A friend volunteered to insure his
election, but would not in advance dis
close the process. In few days the as
founding "political' fact came out that
the worthy candidate in his youth stole a
horse" The opposition charged. The can
didate's friends defended. A very excit-
ing canvass arose, the point Of thief or nc
thief bearing as much on the political ques-
tions supposed to be in issue as the col
lateral points raised at election times gen
orally do. The "horse thief" was trium.
phantly elected by the reaction in his favol
when the charge was demonstrated to be a
falsehood; thing easily doneby "th'
friend" who had published only such {
charge as could not be substantiated.

Turned Black.

1t has been ascertained that the fumes
of the purifying rooms of gas works, will
cure the whooping cough. To test it, the
wife of city merchant, took two of
her children there. The superintendent
very kindly waited upon her to the rooms.
After few moments he noticed black
streak along the fore head, near the hair,
but supposing she had made it by some
crook from her fingers, thought nothing
more of it, and he left the parties to inhale
the vapors. When ready to depart, he sug-
gested to the lady that before she went
back to the city she had better look into
mirror, which she did and was not o little
surprised to find her face as black as char
coal, from the hair around to her ears, and
under the chin. gi
After much scrubbing with soap and
water, she succeeded in making herself
white. She inquired anxiously of the SUI
perintendent, who is a family man, and
knows how it is himself, what could pos
sibly have caused it. He very politely in
timated that it might be something she
put on her face before she came there, which
she Indignantly denied-she didn't "pow-
der" not she
Madam" said he, that's too thin.
You can't cheat the gasworks."

Curious wills.

Chambers Journal gives some strange
facts and figures appertaining to will max
ing: In 1914 Lady Frances Wilson, daugh-
ter of the Earl of Aylesbury, was informed
by Archdeacon Potts that parishioner of
his, named Wright, then lying dead at a
poor lodging in Pimlico, had left her val
liable estate in Hampshire. The fair lega-
tee ridiculed the idea, as she knew no such
individual. However she went to Pimlico,
and recognized her defunct friend as a
constant frequenter of the opera, who had
annoyed her by continually staring at her
there. ira a.s u-Isstt n1n.
One would naturally suppose that the
friendless man had fallen in love with the
lady, or been attracted perhaps by her
resemblance to some lost love of his youth.
There may have been some tender feeling
in the case but then, how are we to &C
count for his leaving $4,000 to the Countess
Of Rosslyn, $4,000 to the speaker of the
House of Commons, and $1,000 to the.Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer-all Of whom were
ignorant of his existence9 The worthy
archdeacon would have secuted the notion
Of the man being insane, for had he not
proved himself in his right mind by leaving
him $1,000 as mark of appreciation of a
sermon he had heard him preachP"
In 1772, a Monmouthshire squire left
100000 to a laboring man to whom he
would not speak while living. A Mr.. Fur
stone left e70OO to the first man bearing
his surname who should marry female
Furstone. tNi

How to Enjoy Life.

1t is wonderful to what an extent people
believe happiness depends on not being
obliged to labor. Honest, hearty; content
ed labor is the only source of happiness, as
well as the only guarantee of life. Idle
ness and luxury induce premature decay
much faster than many trades regarded as
the most exhaustive and fatal to longevity.
Labor in general actually increases the
term of life. 1t is the lack Of occupation
that annually destroys so many of the
wealthy who, having nothingto do, but play
the part of drones, and, like them, make a
speedy exit, while the busy bee fills out its
day in usefulness and honor. Let young
people heed the above facts, and remember
that industry -labor-is not only requisite
to success in any calling, but also the great
source of health and happiness.

eE- Rev. Mr.. Laurie, of Erie, changed
with DR.. Chaplin one Sunday, and soon
after he appeared in his desk people began
to go away. He watched the exodus few
minutes, and then rising, said, in a deep
voice, clearly heard throughout the church,
and with just sufficient Scotch brogue in
his voice to give raciness to his words -
/" All those who came here TO worship AL

FRI-VEEKLY ELY RECORD,
GOLDEN WoRDs.-The habit Of look,ny

GOLDEN WoRDs.-The habit of looking
on the bright side is invaluable. Men
and women who are evermore reckoning
up what they want rather than what they
have-counting the difficulties in the
way, instead of contriving means to over
come them--are almost certain to live on
corn bread, fat pork, and salt fish, and
sink to unmarked graves. The world is
sure to smile upon man who seems to
be successful; but let him 60 about WITH
a crestfallen air. and the very dogs in the
streets will set upon him. We must all
have losses. Late frosts will nip the
fruit in the bud, banks will break, in
vestments prove worthless. valuable ami
mails die, China vases break; but all these
calamities do not come together. The
wise course to pursue, when one plan
fails, is to form another; when one prop
IS knocked from under us, to fill its place
with a substitute, and evermore count
what is left rather than what is taken.
When the final reckoning is made, if it
appears that We have not lost the con-
seriousness of intentional .ctitule; if " e
have kept charity toward all men; if, by
the various discipline of life, We have
been freed from folles aud confirmed in
virtue, whatever We have lost, the great
balance sheet will be in our favor.

LAYING RRIcK IN CHIMNEys- Here
is an item of use in building chimneys.
Brick for walls, etc., should have the dust
brushed of, and be soaked in lime water
just before using. The mortar will not
only cling more firmly, but, by setting
more slowly, will permit the brick to be
adjusted or dressed without destroying
the homogeneous nature of the mortar
by the slight movement incurred. Speak
ing of mortar, the best is made ms fol.

best lime, Stake it with about four gal
Ions of water to one cubic foot or thirty

hundred meshes to the inch. TIE ma
