Mrs. Campbell, whose husband was
hurt on the road and died here a few
days ago, returned last evening from
Omaha, where she had been to see the
officers of the road. They gave her
money enough to pay the hotel, doctors
and undertaken bills, which was all the
legal officers felt authorized to do. Now
the poor woman starts out to fight the
battle of life alone, with three infants to
care for, one of them a cripple, and her
self scarce more than a child. 1t is a
case to awaken the liveliest sympathy.
Everybody who knows of the case is
willing to help her, but nobody assumes
the responsibility of starting out and
going on this errand Of fmercy.-LaTdmie

IN CHARGE OF A LADY.

The last issue of the Benton Democrat
comes nearer, by fifty per cent, to a de-
cent approximation to what a newspa-
per should be than any previous num-
Der, and yet its stupid editor apologies
for what it may contain because he
cleft it in charge of ladyw The best
thing that lady can do for the poor,
puny bantllng is 10 nurse 1t hereafter
altogether.

y TOUCHING INCIDENT.-A recent
sketch Of the lives of the great lawyers
contains this touching incident in the
life of William Writ:
In his younger days he was o victim
to the passion for intoxicating drink,
which has been the bane of so many
distinguished in the legal profession.
Affianced to beautiful, Intelligent and
accomplished yOuDg woman, he had
made and broken repeated pledges of
amendment, and she, after patiently
and kindly enduring his disgraceful
habits, at length dismissed him, deem
ing him incorrigible. Their next meet
ing after his dismissal was in public
street in the city of Richmond. Writ
lay drunk and asleep OF the sidewalk a
hot summer day, the rays of the sun
pouring down on his uncovered head,
and the flies crawling over his swollen
features. As the young lady approached
in her walk, her attention was attracted
by the spectacle, strange to her eyes,
but, alas! so common to others who
knew the victim as TO attract little re-
mark. She did not at first recognize
the sleeper and was about to pass on,
when she was led by one of these i'm
pulses which form the turning points
IN huiIlH llNeS 10 ScEutiuilt MS le'tl-
ures. What was her emotion when she
recognized her discarded lover! She
drew forth her handkerchief and care
fully spread it over his face and hurried
away. When Writ came to himself he
found the handkerchief and in one cor
ner the initials of the beloved name.
With a heart almost breaking with
grief and remorse, he made a new VOW
of reformation. He kent that VOW and
married the owner of the handkerchief.

In Japan, women are taught to per-
form menial offices for men in a most
slavish fashion. The young japanese
who have been sent to America for edu-
cation will doubtless carry back higher
estimate of women. One of these young
men has been for four months under the
private tuition of lady, who talks with
him and for him, instructs him from
books, and gives him Information about
diverse matters. He has proved an apt
pupil. But this young japanese is of
high rank in his own country, and has
been accustomed to be waited upon by
servants, and in Japan women are ex-
pected to show Difference to men; there
fore 1t has been not q little difficult for
his teacher to make him understand
that, in this country, gentlemen pay lit
tie attentions to ladies. Miss s. told
Miss Booth that the first time they
went out together on a rainy day, he
gave her the umbrella TO hold over him.
When she informed in that in America
a gentleman usually held the umbrella
over the lady's bonnet, he seemed both
puzzled and amused, and walked along
performing the duty as well as he could.

''First time, first time.n He is very

and often inquiries, "Was 1 impOlite ?"

SMALL MATTERs.-The nerve of the
tooth, not so large as the finest cam
brio needle, will sometimes drive a
strong man to distraction. A mosquito
can make an elephant abs solutely mad.

The pettyest wretehedness often results

those we love often produces exquisite
pain, or unallOyed pleasure.

Never burn kindly written letters: it is so
pleasant to read them over when the ink Is
brown, the paper yellow with age, and the hands
that tfacedihe friendly words are folded over the
hearts that prompted them, under the green
sod. Above all never burn love letters To
read them in after yearz is like resurrection to
ones youth.
The elderly spinstor finds in the impassioned
offer she foolishly rejected twenty years ago
fountain of reiuyenescence. Glancing over It,,
she realizes that she was once belle and beauty,
and beholds her former self in s mirror much
more congenial to her taste than the one that
confronted her in her dressing room. The
,iwidow indeed derives q sweet and solemn con-
ISOLATION from the letter Of the beloved one who
has journeyed before her to the far-on land,

she hopes one day to JON him.
