"'Peace on Earth, and good will to
men, upon this day. We will not wait
for better one, George"
He understood her meaning, and q
messenger was despatched for the minis
istcr. "There is one other l would like
to have present, Mary. Kentuck and
I'll have to go and look for him myself"
She assented with nod and he went
out. When he returned his true old
partner was with him.
"Well now," said that worthy, cheer
fully. " Here you are, and not looking
nigh as peekid as | thought you would.
Why, you'll be as peert and spry as a
deutschland in couple of weeks. How
ar you teelin', anyhow ~
She thanked him, and said she was
real we'll. Only rather weak.
"Oh, that's naturally to be looked for
for, you know. Now I'll have to go
agin, but I'm liable to drop in on you,
any minute"
Not yet, i" said George. We want
you TO stay to our wedding"
Is that SO ? Now your talking sense.
This news makes better Christmas for
for me than u dollar to the pan in the
gravel would. Whose notion was it to
have it to day ?"

"Of course it was" said Kentuck with
u sagacious look. "I'd aknowed that
without askin' if I'd stopped to think
George, she's a trump! She's a heart
flush in twenty ydeck."
"Kentuck pays you q high compli-
ment," said George to Mary, who looked
puzzled. Everything goes by the cards
with him. He means to tell you you are
the best there is.'
THAT'S it, ma'am, exactly. But tell
you, il | thought | could make one
"draw " and get gal like you, I'd new
er raise back on two par ag'in. I'd new

The arrival of the clergyman checked
the flow Of kentuek's S jargon and after Il
little general conversation, the ceremony
was proceeded with. The reunited couple
took on themselves the sacred obligations
with far deeper sense Of their significance
than before. In the months of their sep
aratien they had learned to study tho
faults and tailings which were hidden in
their own bosoms, and to know that the
security Of. domestic happiness lies in
reciprocal kindnesses and mutual for
bcarauce. Studying each the happiness
OF the other, neither evor had occasion to
regret the day on which the divorced wife

GRANDMoTHER.-For long time |
did not understand it at all. | thought
that because grandmothors often wero
feeble and oldlashioned, they could never
really feel rs We children do that they
needed no particular notice or enjoyment,
for it was their natures to sit in rocking
chairs and knit. They seemed quite diff
terent from tho rest Of the world, and net
to be especially thought about that is,
by girls who were as full of merry plans =
as we were.
Grandmother lived with us, as father
was her only son. We had vague idea
that she helped mother mend the clothes
and knitted all fathers Wiutcr stockings,
besides some pairs for the church society.
We were supposed to love her, of course,
and We're never openly rude, for indeed
we had been taught to be polite to all
aged persons. As for grandmother, she
was one Of those peaceful souls who never
make any trouble, but just go on in their
own way 50 quietly that you hardly know
they are in the house. Mother sat with
her sometimes, but we girls, in our gay,
busy pursuits, rarely thought of such
thing. She seemed to have no part in
our existence.
1t went on for some time, till one day
happened at sun-down to 60 into the sit
ting room, and there sat grandmother,
alone. She had fallen asleep in her chair
By the window. The sun was just sink
ing out Of sight, leaving a glory of light
as he went, and in this glory l saw grand
mother-saw her really for the first timo
in my life She had been reading ner
Bible, and then, as if there had been no
need Of reading more, since its treasure
already lay shining IN her soul, she had
TUNED the book oyer upon her lap and
leaned back to enjoy the evening. / saw
it all in a moment-hor gentleness, her
patience, her holiness. Then, while her
love and beautiful dignity seemed to fold
about me like a bright cloud, the sweet
everyday lines in her face told me Sc
cret, that even then in the wonderful sun
set Of life she was, 0, how human SO
human that She missed old faces and old
scenes +; so human that she needed a
share of what God was giving us-friends,
home interests, little surprises and ex-
pectations, loving offices, and, above ali,
recognition in the details of our fresh,
young lives.
Girls when grandmother woke up she
found Us all three stealing softly into the
room for God had helped me, when |
went to tell my sisters about it. Mary
only kissed her and asked if she had had
good nap; Susie picked her ball of
yarn off the carpet, where it had rolled,
and began to wind it, all the while telling
her pleasant bit of news about one of
the schoolgirls and well, l knelt
down at grandmother's feet and, just us L
was going to cry, l gave her knees
good hard hug, and told her she was
darling.
That's all, girls. But its been different
ever since from what it was befo-e.-lS.

AN OBJEcTIoNABLEJ URoR.-In these
latter times, in courts of justice, it has
been difficult to obtain men of intelli-
gence and impartiality to act as jurors,
especially in capital cases. At a recent
term of the Oyer and Terminer, held in
this city, Mr.. Justice Davis presiding,
this difficulty presented ITSELF The trial
impending was for murder, and the
large panel summoned for the purpose
was nearly exhausted. The name of an
intelligent Hebrew gentleman was called,
who took the stand, and was asked the
usual questions as to whether he had
read the papers and formed an opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of the pris-
oner. He replied that he had not. He
was next Intercepted as to whether he
had conscientious scruples as to hanging
in case Of conviction for murder. He
answered that he had. The District
Attorney promptly objected to his being
accepted, and the gentleman was about
to retire, doubtless gratified at not being
compelled to endure the fatigue and anx.
iety of prolonged trial, when the coun-
sci for the prisoner said, "Wait moment,
if you please. You say you have scru-
Piles in reference to hanging for the crime
of murderY'
L have" was the reply.
What is the nature of your scruples?''
Well, sir, I am strongly and co'asci-
e'stiously in .taror Of hanging people aoho
murder p
The prompt, blunt, altogether unex.
pected as we'll as unprecedented answer
raised an audible smile throughout the
courtroom, and took judge, counsel, ant
audience quite by surprise. 1t was, OF
the whole, however, thought best to LEI
the gentleman depart especially by the
defense-and he emanated from thu
presence.-EDIToR's DRAWER, in Har
per's Magazine for September.

How We are United.

Little Daughter--I wish the river
would rise.
Father-Why, what have you to do
with the river rising?
Little Daughter--A great deal, father;
for then the boats would run.
Father-And what have you to do
with the boats running, my child, Ell :
Little Daughter-They would bring
the cotton, father.
Father Cooking over his specticles.)
And what have you to do, darling,
with cotton bales?
Little Daughter-Why, if the cotton
was down, you would be able to sell it,
you know, dear father. (smilingly)
Father-And what then2
Little Daughter You would have
plenty of money.
Father-Well.
Little Daughter-(Layin her little
hand on his shoulder, and looking up in
to his face.) Then you could pay mother
that twenty-dollar gold piece You bor-
rowed from her, you know, father.
Father--And what then my child?
Little Daughter-Then mother could
pay Aunt Sarah the ten dollars she owes
her.
Father-Ay, indeed and what then.
Little Daughter -And Aunt Sarah
would pay sister Jane the dollar she
promised to give her ON New Years but
didn't have any cotton--any money, |
mean, father.
Father-Well, what else? Gle lays
down the newspaper, and looks at her
cautiously, with half SMILEY
Little Daughter-Sister Jane would
pay brother John his fifty cents back,
and he said when he got it he would
give me the half dime he owes me, and
two dimes to buy marbles; and this is
what | want the river to rise for, and
the big boats to run! And | owe nurse
the other dime, and must pay my debts
"Pa" looked at ma" "There it is. .
he said /; eve are all, big and little, like,
a row of bricks. Touch one, and away
we all go, even down to our little Car
rie here. She has, as child, as great
an interest in the rise of the river as I
have. We are all, old and young, wait
ing for money to buy marbles"
A good lesson for debtor and creditor,
too, and well forced.

lover of figures has calculated the
chances of any person being struck by
lightning. 1t is about one in 190,883,

Yankee Strategy.

At the battleof Rappahanock Station,
after the 9th Maine had gained posses
sion of the works in their front, and
we're taking whole brigade of john
MES to the rear. Col. Edwards who was
one of the first to reach the rife-pits,
took few men from company G. and
pressed on in quest of prisoners, suppos-
ing some might be trying to get away
in the darkness of the night. Fol-
lowing the line of Notifications down
towards the river, he saw before him a
long line of troops in the rihe-pits. Find
ing that he was in tight fix, he deter
mined to put on bold face.
Where is the officer in command of
these troopsf' demaned the gallant Col
onel.
Here p answered Colonel who
was commanding rebel brigade; "and
who are you, sir ?"
My name is Colonel Edwards. of
the 9th Maine, and l demand you to
surrender your company
/ will confer with my officers first"
replied the rebel officer.
Not moment will | allow, sir"
said Colonel Edwards. Don't you see
my column advancing (pointing to
large body Of men marching over the
hill, but who were the rebel prisoners
being marched to the rear). "Your
forces on the right have all been cap
tured and your retreat is cut off," and,
as the rebel commander hesitated, he
continued: Forward: 9th Maine and
Dist New York p
al surrender, sir" said the rebel COM
mander quickly. "Will you allow me
the courtesy of retaining a sword that
has never been dishonored ?"
Eyes, sir" replied Colonel Edwards,
=" but / will take the swords of those of.
Hcers pointing to the Colonies by his
side.
They we're handed to him.
Now order your men to lay down
their arms, and to pass to the rear with
this guard"
They obeyed, and the whole brigade

among them, permitted themselves to BE-
disarmed and marched to the rear a.
