Getting Them Out.

A family named Prathcr, says the
Detroit Free Press, occupying a house
on Croghan street, have paid no rent
for three mouths, and the landlord has
been trying TO get them OUT. He took
away the front steps as gontle hint,
but they lived right on. Then ho got
hold of the front door key, but they
went around to the side door. The
landlord then put carpentenor in the
parlor to make repairs, but the family
moved into the kitchen, aud were still
happy. After due consideration the
landlord took the windows out Of the
parlor and bedroom, but the family had
a good stove and plenty of weod. Next
after learning that he hadn't discour-
aged his tenants, the owner OF the
house went in and removed all the doors
and windows; leaving the pure air Of
heaven rushing through the old coop
like runaway mule. He. thinks they
they will leave ina day or two, but it is
doubtful, as pedestrians who passed the
house in the afternoon saw the chill
dren playing horse in the windows and
the father seated on the bed mending q
rat-trap.

A FickIe Woman.

. z y 2. d ra
In 1749 occurred an odd episode in
John Wesley's life. On one of his
missionary journeys ho had been taken
sick at Newcastle, where he was nursed
by Grace hurry, one of his female
"helpcrs," a handsome, clever widow of
four-and-thirty, Wesley himself being
twelve years older. He asked her to
marry him. She seemed amazed, and
replied, "This is too great blessing. l
cannot tell how to believe it. This is
all [ could have wished under heaven !"
Wesley, quite naturally, took this as
formal betrothal But Grace had not
long before nurscd John Bennett, a
Methodist preacher, of about her own
age; and Wesley ga, soon astounded
by a joint letter from Grace and ohm,
asking his cons mt to their marriage
Then ensued comedy lasting for
months, the like of which no playwright
has ventured to put an the stage. Ora ce
would have been quite content. " isE
either of her lovers, were it not for the
other.
But, contrary to all example, it. was
the absent one whom she wanted.
When esley was with her she longed
for Bennett; when Bennett was present
she longed for Wesley. How many
times she broke and renewed her On
gagement with each it would be hard to
tell. "I love you," she said to Wesley
"a thousand times better than I eve +
loved John Bennett; but am afraid if
l. don't marry him he'll run mad p
That very evening she promised herself
again to Bennett. A week after she
told Wesley she was determined to live
and die with him. She indeed wanted
to be married at once; but Wesley
wished for some delay Grace said she
could not wait more than year. A
fortnight later she met Bennett, fel! at
his feet, and acknowledged that she had
used him ill., Y ~ y
They were married week after. This
strange marriage seems to have turaed1
out happy one. Bennett died in the
triumphs Of faith ten years later. Grace
survived until 1903, dying at the age of
eighty seven. For years she was bright
light in the Methodist society. Wesley
saw her three days after her marriage,
and but once more ON earth. Thirty
nine years after, she came to London on
visit to her son, and expressed wish
to see Wesley. He was eighty. five
years old, she past seventy. What could

came bounding to her side.

shaggy head as she pattcd it gently at
parting.
The night was dark, and tho place
was just remote enough from the city
to render it unsafe, at such an hour, for
lady to go out unattended. But An
notte needed not the danger. Her
heart was breaking with trouble that
left no room for any other.

claimed one of them, laying rude
hand upon her shoulder, while the other
kept the gleam Of his lantern tur aed up

Before Annette dared or had time to
cry out, trusty Ponto had the first ruffiau
by the throat, and before assistance
could be rendered by his accomplice,
the latter was grappled by one far more
than his match in strength and courage.
In short, Ponto, who had thought it
wise to follow his mistress, in spite of
orders, and Ponto's master, who was
returning after escorting his charge to
her destination, had just been in time
to rescue Aunctte from her fearful
peril

to consult me this evening, and which

functions of the human body would
prevent budding beauty being exposed
to night air and i'll ventilated rooms,
clad in insufficient, unbalanced attire.
\ surer guarantee of suffering could
not be than the tight waist low neck,
thin stockings, heat and weight on
central viscera, which the fashionable
dress supplies; and | know that loving
mothers would not deprive their pre-
cious darlings OF all that makes life
valuable, if they would stop a moment
and compare the warm, loose, equal
clothing of their boys with the 'un-
healthful dress of their girls, and carry
it out into future life. When mothers
realize this, they attend to the fact
that no part of the clothing should in
terfere with health, which is the
highest beauty. Oh! that good sense
and good style were in sweet accord;
that children might dance meath
green bowers, and sleep come early,
bringing the balmy bath which beau
titles, gives good bone and sound
muscles, and hearty digestion. Re-

Last Friday night 1 enjoyed the
pleasant assembly at Leck's Hall, on
the occasion of the "May Pole Dance"
The beauty of those sweet rosebud dar-
lings, tripping dainty feet to enchant-
ing music, spoke praises to Prof. Mil
lington's talent, but looking through
physiological spectacles, saw in the
scanty clothing of those precious girls
q life-lease of suffering and misery.
Not a mother in Los Angeles, realiz-
ing that bare necks and arms have
sent many young girls to the grave,
would allow that scantiness of attire
which retards circulation and means
consumption. A skilled pilot needs to
know all the rocks and shadows of the
stream in order to steer clear of them.
