A DREAM THAT PARTED MAN
AND WIFE.

Bundy has been married two
weeks and has left bis wife. Bum
dy is little man, and bis wife
weighs 240 pounds, and was the re-
lict of the late Peter Potts. About
ten days after marriage Bundy was
surprised, on awakening in the
morning, to find his better half sits
ting up in bed crying as if her heart
would break. AstoniShed, he ask
ed the cause of her sorrow, but re-
ceiving no reply he began to sur>
mise that there must be some secret
on her mind that she withheld from
him, that was the cause of her an
suish, so he remarked to Mrs. Il.
that as they were married she should
tell him the cause of her grief, so, il
possible, he could avert it, and after
considerable coaxing he eliciEed the
following from her:
"Last night dreamed | was sin
gle. and as | walked through we'll
lighted street | came to a store
where sign in front advertised hus
bands for sale. Thinking it curious
| entered, and ranged along the wall
on either side were men with prices
affixed to them, some for $1,000,
some for $500, and so on to $3.50.
Aud as | had not that amount | could
no. purchase"
Thinking to console her, b plac-
ed his arm lovingly around her, and
asked
"And did you see any man like
me there 7"
"Oh, yes" she replied, drawing
away from him; "lots like you
They were tied up in lunches, like
asparagus, and sold for ten cents per

Buudy got up, and went to see his
lawyer if he had sufficient grounds
for divorce.

SALVATION FOR THE DRUNK
ARn

In great meeting in Lancashire,
my home, where it was she custom
to invite sinners to what we called
the "penitent FORM" for prayer,
there was a poor, wretched drunk
ard. AS he was going out, some one
asked him to remaio. "You don't
think can be a Christian Z said the
poor drunkard. Il do, was the an.
swer, if you are a sinner But
Pm not going to sign the pledge any
more, said he. 'Ive signed it
twenty times, and never will again
No matter; go and kneel with the
others there, and we will pray for
YOU SO he went, and good people
knelt beside him and prayed. As
he was kneeling there. the chapel
door opened, and poor little girl
put her pale face inside. She had
on no bonnet her clothes were in
tatters, and the rain dripped from
them in little pools at her feet. She
was afraid at first to come into the
light and warmth out of the storm,
but the man at the door drew her in.
What do you want girl 2 Please,
sir, heard as my father was coming
in here, and 1 came to see if it was
true Why that's my father she
said, pointing to the kneeling drunk
ard. Tell me, please, sir, what he
is doing. Then, permission being
given, patter, patter went the little
bare feet up the aisle to the penitent
form. She knelt down by her fa:h-
err, and put her arms about bis neck,
and said, Father what are ye doing
here ? I'm asking God tn forgive
me, for my badness And if He
forgives you, shall we be happy,
then = yes Shall we have
bread then 2 Yes will you new
er strike us again p NO and
will you stay here till | bring moth
err? Yes Out she went into the
storm, and soon came back with a
wretched looking woman, who had a
tattered shawl over her head, and
this poor wife went and knelt down
by her husbands side, and prayed +:
% God save me, too. o God !
save me, too! = And God heard and
saved them all.
Just as | was leaving England a
friend came to me to say good bye.
Il have been, said he, to the home Of
that drunkard's family to take tea.
You would not know them. There
is plenty to eat, plenty to wear

Don't, GIRLS. Don't think that
yards and yards Of ribbons, ruffies
and lace will add one particle to
your value. Don't make a walking
mliner's shop or jewelers. store OF
yourselves, covering all tina. is OF
true merit within you with that
which will only attract the shallow
Drained. Don't think sensible peO-
pie are to be deceived with vain
show; they look for beauty of heart
and mind. Don't fatter yourselves
it is smart to affect ignorance OF
manual labor, or to be ignorant of it.
Don't give the subject of matrimony
thought while you are in your
teens, except to qualify yourself for
the responsible position it places you
in; you need all of that time of your
life to fit yourselves for it. You
need to study books, the laws of life
and health to be well experienced
in the culinary art, as perhaps the
happiness and health of hundreds
are depending on your knowledge oil
this. Don't give your time and tai
ents to the world, or to seeking the
things of time and sense that perish
with their using. God has created
you for a nobler purpose, and made
you accountable for what He ba:

SAMPSON.

To show that Sampson is fitting
subject for a text or sermon, read
the following;
He was the strongest, yet one OF
the weakest Of men, He was strong
physically when the vow was upon
bin. He could lift the pouderous
iron bars and gates of GAIA, yet could
not govern his own petty passions.
He could slay 1000 men by one sin
gle jaw bone, yet allowed himself to
be bound and sold by silly woman.
His first false step was in seeking an
idolatress. His only motive was SEN
sual qualification. When a man
comes to that his soul is in the mar
ket, and be sure the devil will bid
highest for it. Picture the power of
the artful woman, armed with her
beauty, her cunning raiment, dimpl>
ed smiles, her sighs of sorrow, her
looks of love, her voice of tlattery,
and if thou hadst the strength of ten
Samps6ns thou couldst not resist her.
Sampson died we'll. It was the boast
of John Wesley that his converts
died well. Seneca says, "Count no
man happy till his death" Death
is the touchstone of a mans life.
This wonId be the moral of the dis
course-"Hope for the fallen" Has
a man sinned I Let him repent.
Young man, flee the artful woman /!
If once betrayed, now escape! Es>
cape for thy life /! Like Sampson
die VIGOROUSLY. Die the death of
the righteous In the valley and
shadow Of death seize the pillars of
doubt grapple with the powers of
darkness, and come off more than
conqueror, shouting Victory Vic

WHAT DIME NOVELS WILL DO.

The case of the people vs.. Clar-
ence Ham, charged with the lar
ceny of horse, came up before JUS
tice Sayer, yesterday. The boy who
is only about fourteen years of age,
was employed by J. II. Hobson &
Co, merchantstailors, and while on
his way to the bank, Monday, to
make a deposit of $50 belonging to
his employers, conceived the idea of
fitting himself cut as All Indian scout.
So, instead of depositing the money,
he contracted with NJ. Grove for q
gun, pistol, knife, Ratchet and am
munition, and a suit Of buckskin
and a mountaineer's hat. This
done, he hired horse of NJ. c.
WiIlbar, livery stable keeper, for
short ride, and having decorated
himself in his trappings, started on
his career of adventure, a perfect
young "Wild Bill"
Deputy sheriff Waterbury was
put upon the pursuit, and yesterday
morning bright and early, overhaul
ing the SOLITARY horseman' in camp,
near LongmOnt, 40 miles from here.
He was brought back and, being
srraigned before justice Sayer, as
already stated, pleaded guilty to the
charge of larceny, but by request
his case was held over until next
Saturday, and he was committed to
jail.
1t was thought the lad was labor

sober reflection shows that he be

WHEN tho books of judgment are
open and ten million drunkards come
up to get their doom, want you to
bear witness that |, this morning, in
the fear of God, and in the love for
your soul, told you with kindness to
beware of that which has already
exerted its influence upon your fam
lily. Oh if you conld only hear
this morning, Intemperance, with
drunkards' bones drumming on the
head of the wine>caslx the dead
march of immortal souls, methinks
the very glance of wine~cap would
make you shudder, and the color of
the liquor would make you think Of
the blood of the soul, and 1.-THE foam
on top of the cup would remind you
of the froih on the maniac lip, and
you would go home from this service
and kneel down and pray God that
rather than your children should be-
come captives Of this evil habit, you
would like to carry them out some
bright spring day to Greenwood and
put them away to the last sleep, uu>
til at the call of the south wind the
flowers would come up all over the
grave-sweet prophecies of the res
direction. God has balm for such
wound; bat what bow of comfort
ever grew on the blasted heath of a
drunkard's sepulchre !-Talnage.

No ROSES WITHOUT THoRNS -
Things are pretty we'll matched in
this world, so far as taking comfort
goes, and we begin to believe that
high and low, all have their tribula-
tions. Fishes ara hooked, worms
are trodden on, birds are fired at.
Worry is everywhere. Poor mems
wives worry because the bread won't
rise, or the stove won't draw, or the
clothes line breaks, or the milk
burns, or the pane of glass is not
mended with putty, or they can't af-
ford to hire help. Rich mems wives
worry because the preserve dish
isn't of the latest pattern, or because
somebody finds out how a pretty
dress is trimmed before the big &c
do happens, or because some aristo'
crat woman overlooks them, or be-
cause the servant is impudent, spoils
dinners, breaks tea sets, gets drunk
and quits. Causes vary, but worry
averages the same. The scales Of
miles is different on different maps,
but places remain just so far apart,
and SO do humanity and content.

FROM Mr.. Bayard's Baltimore
speech the other day we quote as fol
lows: "Mr. Bayard alluded to the
condition the country had been
brought by the party in power. He
did not believe there ever had been
such depression and stagnation OF
industries. lack of occupation, and
apprehension of danger as now in
this country. The losses of the war
were set down at $l2 900, 900,
the accumulation of a century, which
will require years to recover. The
Republican party does not stand up
on the issues of the last ten years.
Their cries of Southern outrages have
been exposed, aud their ISLANDERS OF
honest men must cease. They have
shifted the issues, and now address
themselves to the lowyer passions and
bring up the gaunt spectre of Know
Nothingism. They raise the issue
of religious intolerance. 1t is pro
claimed in the land of George Cal
vert upon street bearing his name,
that men shall be prescribed for re-
ligious opinions. OF all places on
the earth this was the last from which
such prescription should come.
