A tribute 70 the Msrringo Tie.


1t is stated number OF husbands
on the Atlantic, refused to leave
their wives and children-but pre-
ferrod to share death with them than
seek safety in attempts to escape.
On this subject the Daily Graphic
has the following:
''Never was a higher tribute paid
TO the marriage state than was Civ
en- by the married men who were
passengers on the wrecked Attain
tic. With few exceptions they all
perished, refusing TO desert their
wives aud little ones Wives beg
ged their husbands to seek flight
from the sinking quarterback, but
they never stirred. Hand clasped
in hand, husband, wife and child
went down together. In the su-
preme moment oflife wife and hus-
band forgot all past pickering, and
lost fear of death in the companion
ship Ofeaeh other. They recked not
of the opinion of the world, while
the waves swept over them and the
horror of sudden destruction was
imminent, but were simply true to
their instincts. One such fact will
outweigh volumes of argument in
favor of free love and easy divorce"

Theman without an Enemy.

We believe in the man or woman
who mas enemies.n This does not
sound sound, but 1t is soHnd. Your
milk and water people, who con-
tent Themselves with simply doing
no ham, at the same time never do
ing any good. They are mere mega
tiVes. Your man of force, who does
not wait for stone to get out of his
heaveI-appointed way, but Inanful-
ly rolls it over, may unintentionally
hurt somebody's toes in the act;
but Thousands who will have to
travels that way will thank him for
clearing it. The man or woman
who las no enemies is generally a
sleek, creeping, eowardly creature,
caring for no one but himself
Sinking and creeping his unchal-
lenged way to the obscurity he mer-
its. lie adds nothing to the COM
mon aock-does no good in the
world, and is lowered into his six
feet OF earth without one sincere
regret from any one. He has had
no enemies; but has he had a friend?
A place is vacant, but not in any
warm, grateful heart a fig for such
peoplel

How MARX Twain Gol a seat.


In anew local magiziHe-the Globe
published in Buffalo, is the fol-
lowing reminiscence of Mark
Twain's brief editorial career in
hat city:
no Iaan detested loaiers more
than MF. Clemens, and assuredly no
man could be more pitiless in his
treatment of bores. He was VigOr-
Gus in ms denunciation of that class
Os people who aimlessly and impu-
dentIy lntrude their constant pres
ence IN an editorial room. One in
cident viii, perhaps, bear relating,
showing how he once rebuked a par
ty Of Hndesired visitors. Arriving
at his Office one evening about 81
O'clock, he found il full of men-all
strangers to him. They had appa-
rentiy been in full possession Of the
room. Some were smoking, and
some had their feet upon the table
and every chair in the roSm was
occupied With a look of disgust,
Mr.. Clemens hesitated for moment
in the doorway, and then in his Pc
calIar way, said:
- -A-- ~AC ENAANOAEdA LOOtkA VI t4C

sFfokc-s Why do you askl" said
ausesst slowly ennneiated Mr..
Clemens. Il am one of the editors of
the Express, and it occurred to me
that l ought to have seat"
In an instant every chair was va
Gated, and the men, somewhat
abashed, attempted to laugh the
matter OF by saying, sAhi Mr..
Clemens, that was neat, "witty as
usua." etc; ETC., but there was
something in the joker's eye that
quickly told them he was in no jok-
ing fFame of mind at that moment.
Afterthat, loafers were rather shy
of Marx Twain.

PATRICK nENnx.

"reminiscences Of our country's
great and good men of past genera
tiOns must be interesting and in
structive; and they might afford
profitable study to some Of the great
men of to-day.
Patrick Henry, in his boyhood,
went with his mother TO hear the
Scocth Presbyterian preacher, SAM
uel Davies, and the wonderful elO-
quence Of that man produced An ef-
feet upon the boys mind, which
never lost its eleYating power.
Henry, through his manhood's Iifein
the after years, often spoke of him
in terms of reverence and admira-
tion, and declared that any success
which he himself had achieved was
due in a large measure to the inspi-
ring example Of the pure minded
orator of the Presbyterian church.
Patrick Henry's was a busy and
stirring life. Once launched upon
the sea of national affairs he be-
came great political chief and
guide, and there were clouds as well
as sunshine about his path. What
ever may have been the outward
show, from contact with trying cir
eumstannces, we know that in his
heart the faith was always kept.
When near the close OF life, and
in feeble health, he laid his hand up
on the Bible, and addressing 4 young
friend, said, "Here is a book worth
more than all others ever printed;
yet il is my misfortune never to
have read it with proper care and
attention until recently"
About the same time he wrote TO
his daughter, 81 hear il said the
DeiStS have claimed mel The
thought gives me far more pain than
does the appellation of Tory for 7
consider true religion of infinitely
higher importance than politics; and
find much cause to reprOach my
self that have lived so long aud have
not stamped in my life an unques-
tionable proof to all men OF my be-
ing Christian"

yet them II you think best. There Is
great difference Of opinion in regard
to the best time to prune our fruit
trees. have had a great dcalof con-
versation, and made considerable
inquiry Of gentlemen Of experience.
Those that prsue early, say in Feb

they have to cur about two sprouts
for every one. III that ease, you see.
the wound would be much larger.
CONTINUE cutting early, aud when
will the wound he healed, or grow

die. But let INC say from my own
experience, and all the Information |
have obtained from others, we should
not prune till May or June. do your
pruning always IN the light of the
moon, cut as few large limbs as pos
siblc, but open the. top SO ss to give
air and sun to your fruit. There is
no great art requiring much study
to learn how to pruue; n little COM
mon sense is all that is necessary. In
the first place, see that the top is we'll
balanced. If the tree leans, leave
more limbs on the side from which ii
leans, then cut all cross limbs. or any
that will grow across others, and be
careful not to leave any forks, for
a fork Is almost sure to split. sooner
or later. In that case. halt your tree
is lost aud the other much injured.
If you cannot avoid a fork, you
