The Female Lobby.

A STORY OF ARMY AND WASHINGTON
LIFE.
1t is when the average congressman
first comes in contact with the female
lobby, that he realizes his translation.
These are to him refined, fascinating,
beautiful creatures. His poor little
homely wife fades into naught. His
whole life seems to have been barren until
then-and how he regrets the early mar
riage that shuts him out from an union
with one of these elegant women.
There are two sorts of processes
through which fraudulent legislature is
perfected. One is called the "ring,'
which means a combination of rogues for
some one purpose; the other is called the
" lobby" and designates agents living
here and employed by rings and individ-
uals to push their evil schemes through
Congress.
Twas turning this over in my mind
during the late session, when happened
TO cast my eyes to the ladies gallery
above, and out of the gloom saw mem.

A RIGID SECT. There are many Men,
nonites in Lancaster county, Penn,
New and Old. They are, in the main,
upright and Industrious people, but with
very narrow religious creed. / don't
know on what rock they split, and don't
want to know but the New Mennonites
are more rigid than the old. know of
one member of the society who was
obliged to root up the ornamental shrub
berry in his garden because some weak
brother thought it savored of vanity. A
similar case was that of man who had
pine trees and ailanthus trees in his gar
den; he was obliged to sacrifice the
pines, but allowed to retain the allan
thus trees. l am utterly unable to see
the reason for this fine discrimination
and the only one that my fancy can sug-
gest is that the sickening smell of allan
thus trees may be considered q mortifi-
cation to the flesh. A woman who was
very fond of flowers, and spent much
time in their cultivation, was obliged to
give up her cherished roses and lilies.
1t is hard to conceive of the fanaticism
that dares 10 condemn the Creator
through his works.

Touching Devotion,

One of the most fearful cases ever told
on paper is this, of little boy, but
mere child, who travelled one thousand
four hundred miles taking care of the
body of his mother all the way.
An expressman on reaching his office
early on one January, morning observed
on the icy sidewalk, a long, heavy box.
which his practieed eye at once identlfi-
ed as containing corpse. Upon the
end of the box, shivering with the cold,
sat a half clad boy about seven or eight
years of age. Addressing him kindly
he said:
My lad, don't sit there, you will
freeze. Come in and sit by the fire."
Bursting into tears, the little fellow
replied:
mo, sir. | can't come. Ny mother
is in this box, and / promised her
would not leave her until we got home. .
Deeply affected with the touching de-
/ NOslOl VI butS pldfO libllt ltllOW, HHdI-
ly succeeded in convincing him of the
entire safety of his precious charge, and
taking him to a neighboring restaurant,
and kindly gave him nice warm break
fast, and then learned the particulars of
his story.
HIS father died about year previous
ly in a remote village in the State of
Minnesota, leaving his mother in poor
health and nearly destitute. She died
but few days before the boys sad jour-
ney, charging the little hero with the sad
duty of conveying the remains to dis
tant State, and furnishing him with Gall
she hadl sum of money barely suffi-
cient to carry them both by freight cars
| to their destination.
The little fellow had actually both day
and night, ridden in freight car with
his melancholy trust, never for a mo-
ment losing sight of it.

She walked to an arched recess and
pulling aside heavy curtain, showed
me, playing on the floor, two beautiful
children.
"There," she continued, dropping tn
curtain, these are my two reasons.

Starting In Married Life.

Twill tell you story Of my own ex-
perience in starting in the world. When
| was very young and very poor, mar
ried very poor young man he worked
out by the day or by the month on the
farms, and in order that the stormy days
should not consume the incomes of the
fair ones, something must be done. What
should it be? He had no trade for in
door labor, except making shingles.
Then, he had no shop, and it would cost
so much to buy lumber and build one.
Heretofore, he had spent the stormy
days like hundreds of young men in the
country, lounging about public places in
the village, or at some neighbor's. He
had formed the habit, and liked it right
we'll.
Now said l, james, if we ever get
anything ahead, the winter must not con-
sumo what the summer yields
True, said he, but what can | do?
| hestated moment, looked at the
neatly secured floor of our little log
cabin, and snow-white recess and window
curtains, which, by, the way, we're pieced
out from worn out garments.
Get neighbor Wilson to bring you
some timber, get it sawed, and make the
shingles for half
sWhere,' said he in the house?'
Yes, here in the house. said l.
Year after year passed. In our kitchen,
barrels were hooped, chairs bottomed,
barley forks were made and sold, and
used to pack the shingles. And what OF
it, if did help him saw the small tim
ber I? All this was done in bad weather,
and the children we're growing up enjoy
ing the liberty of making all the litter
desirable, whenever they we're released
from their hours of study. No one on
earth loves neatness more than /, but l
learned, in time, to sacrifice neatness, in
measure, to prosperity and happiness.
Husband is nervous and irritable by
nature, and it will not do in all cases to
try to teach old dogs new tricks, so /
have picked up after him, boots, hats
and clothing, washed anil combed him
almost every Sunday morning, and, as
to the boys, they have made all sorts of
farming implements in the house, when
they could not play out doors and what
ever innocent amusement they wished to
engage in, aside from mental improve
ment, they have done. / made many
efforts to teach the boys order about the
house, but never fairly succeeded
Now for the result of my course: We
have farm of more than one hundred
acres, well stocked; there are several
rooms in our house, but shingles are not
made in any Of them. Sometimes when
husband brings in a barrel to hoop for
our own use, tell him to be careful not
to scratch the paint off the floor. Hus-
band is steady, hard working man, and
when night comes he is at home our
boys, or, rather, young men, are honest,
ambitious, home-loving boys. No smok-
ing cigars, or taking glass, or lounging
about, with them. Studious, noble, good

SUGAR MAKING FROM MELoNs.-A
pamphlet has been published to show
that sugar can be made more profitably
from melons than from beets, and tells
US that every farmer can make his own
melon sugar. The common melon is
recommended for small establishments
the cantaleup and Persian melon yield
more sugar, but require most care and
cost in manipulation. The yield from
the watermelons is z per cent. After
putting the juice over the fire and skim

ty, and the evaporation by heat (never
allowing the juice TO bold is continued
until thick enough for syrup or sugar.

Lord Brougham was fond of relating
an amusing instance of misreporting,
which was no joke to the victim of il.
A bishop at one of his country vista
tions found occasion to complain of the
deplorable state of a certain church, the
roof Of which was evidently anything
but water tight. After rating those con-
cerned for their neglect, his Lordship
finished by declaring emphatically that
he would not visit the damp old church
again until it was put in decent order.
His horror may be imagined when he
discovered himself reported in the local
Journal as having declared: / shall not
visit this damned old church again."
The bishop lost no time in calling the ed
itor's attention to the mistake, thereup-
on setting himself right with his readers
by stating that he willingly gave public
ity to his Lordship's explanation, but he
had every confidence in the accuracy of
the reporter. The editor os an evening
paper could hardly have had similar
confidence in his subordinate, when the
latter caused his journal to record that
prisoner had been sentenced to four
months imprisonment in the House of
Commons" In this case we fancy the
reporter must have been in the same ex-
hiIarated condition as his American
brother, who ended his account of city
banquet with the frank admission, It
is not distinctly remembered by any
body present who made the last speech"
