but the labor was labor of love, and l am

reluctantly. One day very energetic lady
called on me to take her to the President and
aid her to get private soldier pardoned who
had been sentenced to death for desertion
and was to be shot the very next morning.
We were much pressed in the senate, and
she had to wait a longtime before l could ac-
company her to the White House. 1t was
late in the afternoon when we got there, and

impression on me, but forgot it in the excite

RICH WITHOUT MONEY.

Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in
their pockets are rich. n good man
born with a good sound constitution,
a good stomach. Il good heart and good
limbs. and Il good head piece, is rich.
Good bones are better than gold ::
tough muscles than silver and nerves
that fash fire and carry energy to every
function. are better than houses and
lands.
Ii is better than landed estate to
have the right kind of a father and
mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men as really as among
herds aud horses. Education may do
much to check evil tendencies, or to
delope good ones: but il is great
thing TO inherit the right proportion of
faculties TO start with.
The man is rich who has good dir
position-who is naturally kind. pa
tient. cheerful. hopeful. and who has a
flavor of wit and fun in his compost
ton. The hardest thing to get along
with in this world. is ones own self.
A cross. selfish fellow, a despondin@'
and complaining fcllow-a timid. care
burdened man-these are all born de-
formed on the inside. Their feet do
not linn but their thoughts DO.

DOLLY WARDEN" COSTUME.

The desire of the hour seems to be in
favor of the new English cllintzes with
which the counters arc laden at the
present time. Among these are the
daintest French calicoes. some with
dark grounds. but the majority show
the light. seasonablc ground for spring
wear. blight blue stripes with small,
gay figures. palm leaves to initiate the
richness of cashmere, roses and leaves,
and vines and buds, meander over the
most delicate shades Of green, purple
and lilac grounds. In ''Barnaby Rudge"
Dickens dresses his lovely little Dolly
Warden in such a bright, attractive and
picturesque costume, that at the pres
ent time half The American girls are
going mad with delight over the pros
pect of initiating this charming and
coquettish damscfs dress. And after
all the dress is simply composed of Il
quaint English chintz over black.
Alas! that chintz and black would not
make more Dolly Vardens.
Al the present season there appears
to be not the slightest excuse for the
ladicss wearing old worn out and ia
dcd iinery as home dresses. There are
all grades and patterns of French, Eng
fish and American calicoes, which,
when prettily and becomingly made,
cannot be eXcelled for housc-keepcrs'

and cheerful looking with the accom-
paniment of white apron and linen
collar. Calico is calico, and nothing
more is claimed for it: but mady are
aware that even Il cotton dress may be
made to assume the grace and fit of a
handsoInekiIk. Ii is to be feared that
many ladies do not study to make
themselves quite as tasteful and invi-
ting in their home dresses as we think
they might. To be Sunshine in a
shady place should be the aim of every
true woman. The impression made
upon the chiiden Of a cheerful and tas-
tily dressed mother is often reverted
to in after wears. when perhaps the
mother is either gone or the children
far away.
Women. as a rule, are prone TO keep
their best and most becoming Costumes
for the street and visiting purposes,
not appearing to realize the fact that
nowhere are daintily attircd women
more attractive Than ut the home fire

When merchants dunned him. he would say,

Soon that old tune got fidded out and men be-
gan TO sue.
And he began to borrow to pay accounts long
due.
When Smith goes off TO buy thing he spins
around the town,
And tries with all his might and main the price

When ne has anything to sell It's priceless in his

says, when he offers $500 reward for
any case of Catarrh which he cannot
cure, yet there would be some skeptlcs
and fogies who would continue to shout

not be, because DR. Homespun says

natured old fellow who honestly believes
and PERSISTS in declaring that this earth
Is not round or spherical, but flat as a
"slap jack " and does not turn over,
otherwise the water would all be spilled

astronomical science has positively
demonstrated and proven that DR..
Homespun is wrong In supposing this
earth to be flat and stationary, and
medical science is daily proving the
fact that he is no less mistaken and be-
