lNNEssEE,, SATURDAY, MARCH 2I, 1874

''he's done his best; an nobody could
do more"
The deacon took upon himself the
mOurnfnl duty and pleasure Of max
ing a head-board for his deceased
partner, and painting thereon a suit
able inscription. For hours did the
deacon rack his brain for passage of
Scripture which would be appropri-
ate; and he finally painted on the
head-board the verse,
Greater love hath no man than
this, that man lay down his life for
his friends"
But while it was drying, and tile
deacon was absent for few moments,
some heterodox person strolled IN,
read the inscription, and, seiZing the
paint-brush, wrote:
"How bout q fellar that saves lu-
gin babies that haiu't his friends?"
And thus reads the inscription 20

SWEET AwAY.-Thc Richmond,
Ky, Register gives an account Of a
frightiul accident, which occurred
on Tates Creek, on Saturday week:
During the storm and high water
on Saturday nj zht the log house of
Boone Roberts, on Tates Greek,
was washed from its foundation and
swept rapidly down the current.
1t was late at night and Roberts and
his wife and child were in bed a
sleep, having gone up stairs in order
to protect themselves from the
rising water. They had probably
slept three hours when there was
a sudden giving away of the banks
of the creek above them, and 4 de-
luge of water struck near the top
of the building and hurled it into
the swift current. In the darkness
the husband, wife and child were
separated to meet no more on earth.
Unable to render any assistance,
Roberts succeeded in reaching land.
The next morning his wife and
child, stiff in death, and but par
TALLY clothed, were found dead
upon the banks, four miles below
where the bodies had drifted and
been left by the rcccding waters

1T Is remarkable, SAYS a writer on
German life, ''what great burdens
German women can carry on their
heads. One may meet them constant
~ with great tubs and kettles Of wa
ter on their heads. Many of them
carry loads OF vegetables TO market
in great white wooden tubs. wearing
a little round plated mat next the
head. One sees the strangest loads,
too, poised IN mid-sir Vegetables
of all kinds and cheese arc carried
by them. Suddenly a woman comes
along with an immense pile Of faggOts
tied in bundles, some for burning
and some are saplings, for brOOms
and baskets, Another comes bear
ing great baskets Of turf for kindling
fires and often do we see on these
women's heads loads OF kindliug gwOod.
The German peasant woman occupies
position n little better than slave,
performing the most menial services
for a mere pittance- Any night around
the fountains and water tanks NAV be
seen crowds of these young women
with great tubs 10 carry water for
their use the next morning.
These persons should have a word
spoken in their behalf, for they have
a weary life, and their position is
pitiable one. They are expected TO
black boots, carry burdens, do anv
and all kinds of drudgery, AMI are
paid a mere nothing for their work,
depending a great deal on Trinkgeld
collected for odd Jobs and errauds-Of
all kinds. Ia many German houses
they are given monthly a little extra
sum. They are expected TO do any
thing and everything that in cur count

The Thought of Her.

AT thought Of her the tender tears
Are troubled from their springs,
Yet stir as wceps the April rain
Her viOlets that brings,
With health and healing in their well,
Not bitter. brackish things.
Only it is the getting used
To have one more in Heaven.
1t will seem strange and bleak at first,
The daily cloScness riycn,
Aud yearning love that wants her back
So easily forgiven!
AT thought Of her the fiicLering smiles
Quiyor aud glimmcr, too;
So gracious, beautiful and bright
Her rounded lifetime grew
Remembering all her ways and word,
As faithful lovers do.
How vividly they catch the light.
Like Cmbers famed aglow-
This quaintness or that archne 'bown
Some day we only know;
An attitude, look, gem
Worn then, ribbon so:-
A winsome air, gentle tone,
A kIndliness she did,
All fragrant with that sense Of her
That could no more bC hid
Than subtle Lavender. or lose
Laid common things amid.
At thought OF her tue air grows pure
And tremulous aud sweet;
IL was vision. perfected,
A lovely life to meet.
Brave woman, wife, and mother crowned
Aud angel now beside,
The world is richer that she lived,
And heaven that she died.
She dicd-and yet no needs to -ay
Her memory AS though
OF us and our to day she had
Forever more let go,
Left us the past, and would honccforth
No longer care or know.
Can she who here loved layishly,
Now only out Of sight,
Be colder, more forgctful grown
There IN Gods full love light.
Oh! no, we will not count her out,
Telling the rest good night
Thea give we thanks, o Lord, for her
Gone in Thy faith and fear,
For good she wrought, for seed she sOwcd
And left to ripcn here,
Fer all the honor, love and peace
That keeps her name so dear;
But most for this-a legacy
such rs none other were,
Potent to stay our hearts in stress,
Uplift us lest we err,
And bcckOn, beacon like, to heaven,
The blessed thought Of her.

a Tale OF Chicago.

He occupied delightful quarters in
a genteel bOarding-hOuse not more
than a million of miles from the cor
ner of Wabash avenue and Eldridge
court. The old dweller in Chicago,
knowing perfectly the general char
acter of its different thOrOughfares,
may doubt that there is such q til ,ng
anywhere in the neighborhOOd: but
he was exceptionally gook-looking,
and decidedly dapper, and perhaps
was taken in for the sake of his com
pany-sO It is not material about the
bOarding-hOuse theory.
He patronized the barber and the
boOt-black with great regularity, and
ordered from his tailor quite as often

with it readily to ladies.
lie shone as beau, and women do
ted upon him. It is even thought
that they sometimes tore each others
hair out in lively controversies con-
cerning him. He was SO nice, so dis
tingue, so, to sum up with that femi-
nine climax, so perfectly splendid.
Now he showered his attentions
upon an eligible blonde-again upon
an engaging brunette. Would he
marry? was the mental question which
the ladies prOpounded TO themselves.
And every appearance indicated that
if he got good chance he would. So
yOung, so gay, so debOnair he couldn't
be Il widower and happy would be the
woman who would captiVate his young
affections and lead him in rosy chains
to the altar never reached in all his
wanderings.
He was ut the height of ms freshness
when a carriage drove to the door Of
that boarding-hOuso situated not so
many million miles from the corner

The Liquor Trade.

According to the census of 1870
the capital engaged in this country
in the manufacture of liquor in all
its branches amounted to SOC, $685.

lures of the United States are di-

ital, only nine produce more. The
industries which rank with it arc
those employed in the great staples
of life-cotton and wool, and iron,
lumber, and -four. Their products
arc employed by the entire popula-
ton Remembering that half the
S,000,000 included in the census are
women, among whom the use of in
toxicating liquors in any form is ex-
ceptiOnal: that at least third of the
male population is below eighteen,
so that the drinkers of the country
are a fraction of third of the total
population, and it will seem still
moro remarkable that for every dol

found it worth while to invest in
supplying its whole population of
consumers, meu, women and chill

their daily bread, it has been found
profitable to devote a dollar to the
manufacture, in some form and
shape, of alcohol for part of its
adult male population, and a still
smaller fraction-an almost insig-
nifiCant fraction OF its adult female
population, so that while even in a

by the liberal estimate that three
men out of four and one woman out

the products of stills and watts and
presses, yet the only articles OF

THE SPRING STYLES AS IIEEALDED BY

OPENING DAY.
If Opening day does not entirely
settle the question of what Will next

ing STYLES, and amid the variety dis
PLAYED on that occasion ladies can Sc
lect what they will wear at the COM
mencement of the coming season.
Yesterday the pattern houses and mil
linery establishments set their beau
ties all abroad, in the way of new hats
and bonnets and trimmed paper pat
terms of costumes, basques, jackets,
polonaises, wraps, fichues, and other
garments. In spite of the assertion
that has been made that pOlonaises
and redingOtes were not to be worn
this spring, it Is evident from the
number of new patterns of those gar
ments brought by out leading pattern
establishments, thai they will not be
discarded nor are the shapes material
" changed. They are cut TO cling a
little closer to the form IN front and
around the hips, but are still very
boufIant in the back. The new tunics
and overskirts also show this tenden-
cy to cling to the person.
One of the prettiest Ovcr-kirts Is
cut in a long, tight apron IN front,
buttOning to a still longer back piece,
lOoped to form moderately full puff.
A broad hem is made at the bottom,
no trimming. \ pretty ataloHiere, or
