He remained steadfast in the faith

Democracy once more. A good, big
Democratic majority always pleased
him above anything else, and on elec-

his feelings as the kilograms which

To Stop BLEEDING AT THE NOsE.-
It is worth while to know how to stop
bleeding from the nose when it be-
comes excessive. If the finger is
pressed firmly upon the little artery
that supplies the blood to the side OF
the face affected, the result is accom-
plishcd. Thetwo small arteries branch,
ing up from the main arteries ON each
side Of the neck, and passing over the
outside of the jawb0ne, supply the
face with blood. If the nose bleeds
from the right nostril, for example,
pass the finger along the edge of ths
right jaw till the beating of the
artery is felt. Press hard upon
il, and the bleeding will cease. Con-
tinue tho pressure five minutes, until
the ruptured vessels in the nose have
time to contract.

CHAPPED HANns.-The easiest and
simplest remedy is found in every store
room. Take common starch and grind
it with a knite until it is reduced to
the smoothest powder. Take . clean
box and Gil it with starch thus prepar-
ed, so rs to have it continually at thand
for use. Every time hands are taken
from the suds or dishwater, wipe them
and, while they are yet damp, rub q
portion of starch thoroughly over them,
covering the whole surface. The ct.
feet is magical. The rough, smarting
skin is cooled and healed, bringing and
insuring the greatest degree of COM
fort and freedom from this by no

4 WANUINGTON ROMANCE.

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Graphic relates this
little romance CT the capital-one, nc
doubt, only Of the many:
A beautiful youn. wi!ow appears
in society this winter, whose story is
very romantic. Three wears ago, one
OF the bellies of Washington was !:
! lovely girl who passed most Of the
season lher first III society with Mrs.
Admiral Lee. Miss BESSIE Beale had
many admirers, and soon it became
known that Mr. Stnrtevant, Of New
York, was the favored suitOr, and in
the spring the announcement was
made that Il brilliant wedding the
next autumn would seal the happiness
Of the young lovers. But i'll July
there was a grand denouement. Mr..
Stcrtevant disappear from ''Soundn
boat Oh its way to Newport, and the
suppOsitiOn was, and still is, that he
accidentally fell overheard and was
drowned. Immediately after the an
nolMcement, which of course created
great CONSERVATION, society was still
further amazed by the publication of
a notice Of the marriage in June in
Baltimore Of Mr.. StWteyant and Miss
Reale. 1t seems that the young peo-
pie, with the consent of the brides
mother, were privately married; but
the express stipulation was agreed
upon that no public announcement
should be made until the time prcvi-
ously fixed for the wedding in Octo-
Der, and the bride should remain with
her parents until that time, and con-
tinue to receive visits from the groom
just as she had done hitherto. The
marriage was duly proven, the certiti-
cate being in regular form, and the
young widow, the period Of whose
wifeho0d was comprised in the briet
time necessary to perform the marriage
ceremony, succeeded to her late hus-
bands property. This is one of the
rOusances in real life which is indeed
stranger than fiction.
Another strange story from the
"thick of life" is that of an early
marriage in Trinity Chapel, New
York, witnessed only by the family
Of the officiating clergyman, when the
groom took the name of a prominent
officer in the navy, who vas after
found to he at that time in China. The
clergyman and his family were thor
ougllly deceived, and only discovered
the fact when too late. Nothing has
ever been heard OF the high contract
inm narties of the {; .. m. mariana

says I.
aoh! I had forgotten" says she.
''Thank God, there is no present
need of his services" J"
You cannot think how my heart
thrilled with joy as dear mother
made this announcement.
Doctor" said /, grasping his
hand, our own dear baby is betterl"
All he did was to pull away his
hand and make some reference to
the internal regions and future pun
lshment. l really think he was dis
appointed at not finding our own
dear baby in its last gasp.
Just then the door opened, and
THERE STOOD PHEEG1E
in her beautiful blue wrapper. She
always looked sweet in that wrap
per.
l kissed her forehead and whis-
''pered our child!"
''Don't be fooll" said she; ''it is
too bad to have kept you on the
steps so long. And, Doctor am
sorry, real sorry, that you should
have been brought up here this
dreadful night.
'But our child?" said /.
''It's sleeping sweetly!" said she.
"And it's little stomach?" said /.
''Nonsense!" said she, "there has
been nothing she matter with its
stomach"
"Ah, indeed, Iphigenia! said dear
mother, from the top of the stairs,
perhaps my intense love for my
own child's offspring may have ex-
agerated the actualities of it's abdom-
inal ailments. Perhaps / am bur
den here! If so, Titus Adolphus,
you have only to find me a humble
cot in some retired spot, and there /
will pass my days"
ooh! good heavens! said Pheegie.
Before dear mother had finished
her sentence the Doctor had gone
out and slammed the door with a
tremendous noise. Immediately ]
heard him falling down the iee-cov-
cred steps. 1 sprang to the door
and asked if he was hurt. He pick
ed himself up and walked off with
out reply.
The next day he sent in his bill,
That was curious, as l thought,
for L had paid him in full only
eighs months before.
Pheegie says that he, of course,
intends me to see that he no longer
wants my patronage.
Dear mother very truly says that
''the issues of life and death are not
for mans will to determine"
/ think that very appropriate re-
mark. But somehow Pheegie don't
seem to think so.
But here 1 come back to my origi-
nal proposition.
Why is it that doctors are so loath
to believe that baby's are sick. q,
Why is it that they show so little
alacrity in flying to the infant era
die side? T. ADOLPHUs SMITH.

BEAUTIES OF NAY,
BIZ MINNIE J. OwHrr,


The sun amid the gold n clouds
Ras sunk to rest this balmy eve,
can but note The beauties mere,
Ere familiar landscapes leave.
AWAY in distance is the grove,
Ali rObed in natures fairest green,
Oh earth is lovely in this dress,
Ii seems one holy, joyous scene.
1 stand among the orchard trees,
Whose branches. heavy with their
bloom,
Are like one pure and feecy mass
OF snow-flakes, shedding rich perfume.
And farther on l stray and pause,
The very pathway meath my feet
Is sirewn with petals, white and PINK,
That falling, give an Odor sweet
There by the road side, grow and bud
The snowy daisies, side by side
| With spring time ViOleIs. white and blue,
That nod to me in graceful pride.
The old wild-rose bush by the fence,
Is gaily decked with blossoms red,
This is the dearest flower TO me,
II lifts so soon its modest head.
Then, in that valley, just below,
The broOkiet freed from winters chain,
Is ever ripping gAily on,
Its tide increased by April rain.
Upon its brink the robins come
And drinking, sing song of love
To Him, who makes the sunheam's light
Shine brightly on us from above.
But must howeward turn my steps,
For night is cou.ing quickly now;
The twinkling stars are shedding down
Their gazes DER the mountains brow.
l see my cottage, with its door
Entwined around by ivy vinrs,
And ON its l0wly roof and walls
A single moon-beam weirdlY shines.
Good night, old earth, can but GO;
The weary ones are locked in sleep,
And must slumber with the rest,
While unseen spirits vigils keep
Oh this is heaven to my soul,
A thing that causes me to pray,
When round me in the Silly air
feel presence of sweet May.

BEAUTIFUL sLUsH.
UNKNOWN.

Oh. the slush, the beautiful slushl
Mix'd with the mud in saYory mush,
Soaking thrO' rubbers, snd CATERS and
shoes,
Tempting to suicide, sorrow and blues
Vision remOrseful Ger memory rush
Once was as soft as the beautiful slush
Once believed in committees of health
Once had visions of fairly worn wealth
Sweetly l entrusted inspectors of streets,
Guiltlessly thoughtless of sinecure beats;
Never conceiVing the whitewash brush
That can beautify the blackest political
slush.
Oh, the slush, the beautiful slush
Even pavement inspector might blush ;
Even mermaid might murmur her hate,
If doomed to a worse than amphibiOus
fate;
Even TO paddle, and jostle. and crush,
Half drowned in the beautiful city made
slush.
