The Undertakers' Profits.

When any one loses a friend he is
likely to feel too badly about it to think
much of the funeral expenses, that is,
unless he be poor man. And if he
does not feel SO very badly in reality, he
doesn't dare to beat down the undertake
er, lest people should suspect the lack
Of heartfelt grief. So between the one
feeling and the other, undertakes have
very soft thing, charge about what
they please, and are rarely beaten down
on their wares. The consequence is
that undertakes prices are fancy"
There are mighty few men who have the
courage to question an undertaker's bill.
Fernando Wood, however, some time
ago took a stand on this point, which it
was his mother-in-law that had been
buried, an occasion on which most men
would not have felt in fault finding
mood. 1t appeared in evidence in the
trial which followed, that Mr.. Wood had
been charged profit of FIVE hundred
per cent, which is rather high even for
burying mothers-in-law. One OF the
fruits of the anti-monopoly agitation
now progressing everywhere, is strike
against this undertakers monopoly which
we hear of from Illinois. An enterpris-
ing firm out there publishes card to
the farmers setting forth the enormous
rate of profit made by the generality of
the craft, and advertising sixty-fve dol
lar cofiins at eighteen dollars, and forty
dollar cofiins at ten dollars. If their
figures as to the real cost of making
coflins be anywhere near correct they
can afford to fill orders as advertised and
still make profit. The total cost Of
black walnut, plated trimmings, uphol-
stering and making, stand in the Illinois
undertaken just 81 for coffin which he
sells for s65. This can be changed into
thirty, forty or fifty dollar coffin by
emitting fifty cents worth of stain
and varnish, and perhaps using slight
ly inferior quality Of silk lining. We
don't know how the undertaker's profits
in Massachusetts compare with the trade
in Illinois, but it is fair to presume that
there is no great difference. ce.-Springfeld,
Mass, Union.

THE RIGHT OR LEFT ARM The
question whether gentleman walking
with lady should give her his right or
left arm, is frequently discussed. Gus
tom and written etiquette are rather in
favor of the right, although there are
excellent reasons in behalf of the left
arm. Either one or the other, per-
manently retained, is vastly better
than the awkward and absurd habit of
changing arms, SO az to place the lady
on the inside of the promenade. One
advantage of giving the left arm is that
the person on the right naturally takes
the lead, so that, in the country or city,
in the street or park, he thus readily d.
rects the way, instead of waiting to con-
suit with his companion, or causing a
jostling by each of them trying to move
to opposite points. Another advantage
is, that in crowded thoroughfare, such
as Broadway, for example, where the
sidewalk is invariably encumbered with
merchandise and thronged with people,
gentleman needs his right arm to re-
move distractions and keep rude or care
less folks out of the way.-Seribaer's

CLERICAL ACCIDENT.-It is related
in the Congregationalist of the father Of
the late Rev. DIR. Storrs OF Braintree,
strong advocate of the doctrine of FORE
ordination, that having once made an
appointment to exchange with the late
Rev. DIR. Osgood of Springfield, he start.
ed for the latter place with his own
team on the Sunday agreed upon,
and when about half way thither, met
DIR. Osgood driving down. They stop
ped, naturally, for moments conversa-
tion, and DR.. Storrs soon glided into his
favorite theme. Why" said he, "see
how wonderful are the DEGREES of Prov
idence. Here it has been fore-ordained
from all eternity that we should ex-
change pulpits to-day, and sure we are
met talking the matter over" What's
that 2" said DIR. Osgood, not quite sure
on this fore-ordination business edo
you say it has been decreed that we
should exchange pulpits to-day?" al
dc" replied the other solemnly. "Well,
them" returned DIR. Osgood, "I'll break
one of Gods DEGREES, for shall preach
in my own pulpit to-day" !" and turning
his horse about, he drove rapidly home
ward, leaving the astonished DIR. Storrs
to return to Longmeadow musing on the
possible uncertainty of DEGREES.

A paper church building is said to
have been built in Bergen, Norway, a
city of nearly 100000 inhabitants. The
building is circular within and octagon-
al without. The relieves outside, the
statutes inside, the roof. the ceiling are
all constructed of papier nache, made
waterproof by saturation in vitrol, lime
water, whey and white of eggs. The
church building has space enough to ac-
commodate 1000.

able circumstances for petrifaction have
been investigated, and all found upon
such investigation to be adipocae. Pre-
tended petrifactions have been exhibited,
bat they were always statutes, cut from
the stone by some ingenious rogue that
wished TO humhug somebody, and was
two often successful for time, as with
the Cardiff giant, and the so.called
Indian boy, recently exhibited in several
large places in New England. If Mr..
Dyer was indeed petrifed, that petrifac.
ton would bring more than its weight
in silver, and It would require body
guard, even in the quiet town of Rut-
land to keep it buried. Such specimen
would be valued higher than Jewels, and
would be a relic more rare than any
thing that exists on earth.

The Two Lovers.

Two lovers by a moss grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing.
budding timel
o loves blest prime
Two welded from the portal slept:
The bells made happy carolings,
The air was soft as tanning wings,
White petals ON the path way slept.
Qpure-eyed bride!
tender pride
Two faces o'er a cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked;
These pressed each other while they rocked,
Those watched a life that love had sent.
o solemn hourl
o hidden powerl
Two parents by the evening FIRE;
The red light fell about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire
o patient life
o tender strifei
The two still sat together there,
The red light shone about their knees;
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left that lonely pair.
o voyage fast!
0 vanished past!
The red light shone upon the floor
And made the space between them wide
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks joined and said, Once more,

Three Words of strength.

There are three lessons I would write
Three words as with burning pen
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
Have HOPE. Though clouds environ now.
And gladness hides her face in scOrn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
Have FAITH. Where'er thy bark is driven
The calm's dispOrt, the tempest's mirth-
Know this; cd rules the host of heaven,
Tn inhabitants of earth.
Have LOVE; and not alone for one.
But man. as man, thy brother call;
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, Faith, and Love- and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light where thou else vert blind,

/" Follow My Leader"

& North Carolina sends with one exception
a Conservative delegation TO Congress-.
Georgia has just elected her Legislature,
giving the Conservatives triumph in every
county in the State save three. We may ex.
pect that she will send solid Conservative
delegation to Congress. Tennessee at her
last election gave a majority of $4,000 to the
Conservative party.
So Virginia has noble triumphs in these
States to fire her heart and spur her on to a
glorious victory. She has stood in the front
Of southern States in all great trials. She
cannot, with proper sense OF what is ex.
peeted Of her, and proper idea of her duty
TO herself, permit herself to be passed and
thrown into the shade by those who have
looked up to her for instruction as well as
example. Her people are too proud Of the
reputation of their State to permit this to
happen. They will give all their influence
and exertions to prevent that which would
be to them all inexpressibly notifying.
Let us ssfollow the leader" and place Yir
ginia upon the platform with those proud
States, who swear never to allow their loca
governments to pass into the hands of bar
barians and thieves. A great Conservative
victory by Virginia now will do more TO
wards killing destructive Radicalism thar
any other event. Il would be the vigorous
kick in the side of the beast that would
loosen his fangs upon southern governments

Secretary Robson and the Third
@ Term. 10 80
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE utterances
OF Secretary Robson at Paterson, N. j., dis.
claiming any third-term aspirations for Presi.
dent Grant, are not considered in Well.in.
formed political circles here Of the least i'm
portance. The statement that Grant had
never thought of the third term is considered
as rather rash assertion to come even from
Mr.. Robson. AS made public in this cor
respondepce less than two months since, GER
tain facts have been developed since his veto
OF the currency bill which afford the most
conclusive proof that General Grant has not
only thought of the third term, but that he
has thought of it much aud long. And it
can NOW be stated on information coming
from sources as close TO the President as Mr..
Robson that there is but one consideration
which will prevent his running for another
term-the certain prospect of defeat. fisk
months, or twelve months, ,tor eighteen
months hence, as the case may be, it is made
apparent that third term Is impossible, the
public may expect to see letter signed by
the President, and possibly dated q long time
back, declining another term. But if the
prospects are regarded as fair as at present,
no such letter will ever see the light.
