Scandal.

The story is told of woman who
freely used her tongue to the scandal
of others, and made confession to
the priest of what she had done. He
gave her a ripe thistle top, and told
hef to 60 out in various directions
and scatter the seeds, one by one.
Wondering at the command, she
obeyed, and then returned and told
her confessor. To her amazement,
he bade her go back and gather the
seed and when she objected that it
would be impossible, he replied that it
would be still more difficult to gather
up and destroy all evil reports which
she had circulated about others

Ma.ried oveE the ndge oitho wason

Emigrants must not stand upon
ceremony. Many a wedding on
wheels has signalized the passage of
Western trains through the last
Settles on the great frontier. The
Warrensburg mo. } Standard says:
Last Friday afternoon, as one of
our popular Justices from Ashbury
was in meditation deep among the
papers pertaining to his law cases,
a swift and heavy step was heard on
the stairway and along the hall lead
ing to his Office. The door was open
ed without any ceremony, and in
rushed man in state of high ex
citement not usually seen in our
quiet city.
"Are you the 'Squire?" he asked.
as he wiped the prespiration from
his heated brow.
81 am" replied the Justice.
"Well, l wasn't to get married, and
want the thing done right away"
llright, said the Justice, abring
on your woman"
The excited Individual then in
formed Squire a that the fair and
eXpeetant one was in town, and that
he wanted the Squire to go to her
with him and perform the ceremony.
And after few preliminary ar
rangements, which included the fee
and marriage certificate, the Justice
followed the gentleman and finally
brought up with him at the side OF
a covered wagon on the street near
the public square.
"Here, Mary" said the man. Il
have brought the Squire" and rails
ing the side of the wagon cover. the
form and features of the handsome
young woman were revealed to the
astonished Justice.
'Mary, do you wish to marry this
| man| inquired the Justice, sol
EMMY.
81 do,p faltered the bIushing bride
"Shall-shalI she get out on the
street, sir?" stammered the soon to
be-husband.
"No," said the Justice.
"Shall-shalI I get in the wagon
then?" continued the man, who hat
some faint idea of the impropriety
of the thing. ssu
"No," said the Justice, "stand By
the side of the wagon, and TAXI
Mary by the hand"
This beng done, the two wer
solemnly made one under cover onl,

nc Fate Of French lNarahala.

A Paris letter writer says that the
history of previous trials of Marshals
of French is not calculated to fatter
the hopes of Bazine.
The Office of Marshal was institu-
ted in the reign Of Francis ]. and
since then five Marshals have been
tried, found guilty, and all of them
executed. l
/. Marshal de Retz was hanged
and burned for rebellion and high
treason.
2. Marshal de Biron was decapita-
ted for eOnspiring with Spain against
his friend and benefactor, Henry
".
8. and 4. Marshals de Marcillac
and de Montmorency were sent to
the scaffold for conspiring against
the red man, Richelieu.
5. Marshal Nay was shot by the
Bourbons, in 1915, for going over to
his old master, Napoleon, on his re-
turn from Elba.
Bazine is the first French Marshal
charged with not having done his du-
y in the face of the enemy.

Anecdotes Of Publio Worthiee

George Washington. One day in
a fit of abstraction, the juvenile
George cut down Bushrod's favorite
cherry tree with hstchet.-His pur-
pose ives to cut-and run.
But the old gentleman came sail
ing round the corner Of the barn just
as the Future Father of his Country
had started on the retreat.
'tLook here, sonny" thundered the
stern old Virginian, "who cut that
tree DOWN."
George reflected q moment
There wasn't another boy or anoth-
er hatchet within fifteen miles,
Besides, it occurred to him that to
be Virtuous is to be happy. Just as
Washington senior turned to go in
get his horsewhlp, our little hero
burst into tears, and, nesting among
his fathers coat tails, exclaimed,
Father, I cannot tell a lie 1t must

fond parent as he made a pass for
his off spring, "when you get to be

Abraham Lincoln.-Early in the
war, party cf distinguished gentle
men from New England called on
Mr.. Lincoln to urge the appointment
of a certain Mr.. Brown to the post
Of qusrtermaster. The President,
was amusing himself by splitting
portions Of the staircase of the White
House into rails, received them cor
daily. They stated their errand in
an earnest but respectful tone, and
calmly awaited his answer. Mr..
Lincoln drawing himself up to his
full height, and clapping the spokes-
man of the party on the shoulder be-
gan telling story about a dog fight
he once saw in Kentucky.
By and by, it had gradually grown
dark several hours had passed away
and neither dag appeared to get kill.
ed or gain any advantage over the
other. One by one the party had
dropped out till the leader (who did
not wish to disturb Mr.. Lincoln's
hold on his shoulder) was left alone
to conceal yawn and to look inter
ested. Suddenly, Mr.. Lincoln, with
that peculiar smile on his coun
tenance which Mr.. Carpenter car
talk about but can't paint, remarked
"By the way, my friend, I'm sorry
for Brown, but I gave that appoint
ment to the other man yesterday"
Daniel Webster.-The following
anecdote of the great Massachusetts
statesman has never before appeared
in print.
One day, Clay, Webster and Cal
houn met upon the steps of the Cap
itol. Mr.. Clay yentured toremark, il
his most afable style, that it looked
like rain. Calhoun looked wise bu

the whole situation at glance. 1

Mark Twain on Scotland.

On the 28th of November the St.
Andrews society Of London held a
festival at the Sanitation Tavern,
Newgate street, when upwards of
one hundred gentlemen sat down to
dinner under the presidency of Mr..
Tom Hood. One of the guests of the
evening was Mr.. Clemens, better
known under the non de plume of
Mark Twain. The chairman gave
the toast of the evening in appropri-
ate terms, and Mark Twain in the
course of his reply to the toast of
"The Guests" said: I feel singularly
at home in this Scotch society. l
have spent so much time in Scotland
that everything connected with Scot
land is familiar to me. Last summer
/ passed five weeks in that magnifi-
cent city of Edinburgh, resting. I
needed rest. l did not know any
body. 1 did not take my letters of
introduction at all. / simply rested
and enjoyed myself From my ex-
perience of the Scotch, everything
belonging to them is familiar, the
language, the peculiarity of ex-
preston, even the peculiarities that
are national, are simple household
words with me. l remember when
in Edinburgh 1 was always taken for
Scotchman. Oh, yes! Laughter, }
1 had my clothes some part colored
tartan, and l rather enjoyed being
taken for Scotchman. I stuck a
big feather in my cap, too, and the
people would follow me for miles.
They thought 1 was a Highlander,
and some of the best judges in Scot
land said they never seen a Highland
costume like mine. What's more,
one of those judges fined me for
wearing it-out of mere envy, sup
pose. Laughter. J But any man
may have a noble, good time in Scot
land if they only think he's a native.
Laughter. For breakfast you may
have oatmeal poultice-I beg pardon,
1 mean porridge. Laugter. Then
for dinner you may have fine Scotch
game-the blackcock, the spatehcock
the woodcock, the moorcock. 1
have simply to return to you my ae-
knowledgemets, and to apologize for
not being able to make speech; but
give me fair play, and certainly 1 can
make a speech that will astonish
anybody and nobody more than my
self Laughter. My present condi-
tion is a national one, if may be re-
garded as representing the United
States of America. Ga that side Of
the Atlantic there are 100000 of
people. They may be respectable,
and viii say in conclusion that |
do hope "a brother American" will
soon cease to be simply a phrase
meaning nothing, but will by and by
become a reality, when Great Britain
and the citizens Of America will be
brethren indeed. Cheers.
A variety Of toasts were given
during the evening, and the proceed
ings were enlivened with some ex-
cellent musical selections.

DON'T 81 TN a HURRY 30 eo.


Come, boys. have something to tell you;
Come here, I would whisper it low;
You're thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The city has many attractions,
But think of the vices and sins;
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in treasure, no doubt,
But ahI there's gold in the farm, boys.
If only you'll shovel it out.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old tarm awhile longer
Don't be in hurry to go,
The great busy West has inducements;
And so has the great busy mart;
But wealth is not made in day, boys
Don't be in a hurry to start,
The banker and broker are wealthy,
And take in their thousand or or So
All! think Of their frauds and decepions-
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest; =
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You are free as the air of the mountain
And monarch of al you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer, s
Though profits come in rather slow,
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in hurry to go.

Hnm Gas a. Mada

1t is very easy to make gas, but it
costs much trouble to purify it, that
it may bnrn well and give off no nox-
ious odors. Below is a sort of gas
catechism, which conveys a good
deal Of important slight" on the sub
ject.
How it is first made.
First they put about two bushels
of bituminous coal in a large air
tight retort. This retort is heated
red-hot; when the gas burns out of
it, as you see it burst out of softcoal
when on the parlor fire. The gas
passes off through pipes. A ton of
coal will make ten thousand cubic
feet of gas. The gas, as 1t leaves
the coal, is very impure. 1t is then
purified. First, while hot, it is run
off into another building; then it is
forced through long, perpendicular
pipes, surrounded with cold water.
This cools the gas, when a good deal
of tar cOndenses from it and runs
down to the bottom of the perpen-
dicular boiler, half full of wood laid
crossWise. Then ten thousand
streams of cold water are spurted
through the boiler. Through the
mist and rain, and between the wet
sticks of wood the gas passes, com
ing out washed and clean. The am
monia condenses, joins the water
and falls to the bottom.
What next? o1
Well, next the gas is purified. 1t
passes through vats of lime and OK
ide of iron, which takes out the car
bonic acid and ammonia.
What next?
The gas is now pure. 1t passes
through the big station-meter, then
through the mains and pipes, till il
reaches the gas jets in your room
Then it burns, while you all scold be
cause it does not burn better.
