good and loving we shall more than
make our loss good" he said, smiling
down at her as in the dear old days
when they first planned for that home
which was to be brighter and dsarer
than ever home was before.
In this very room they had taken the
solemn vow to love and cherish each
other, years ago. Tonight they repeat
ed it before God, with better idea of
its meaning, and firm resolve to keep
it ill death should part them.
A few days more and they were back
in their own home, doubly dear in that
it had so nearly gone from their grasp
forever. As the years go by, they
are more united. Nellie wondersif she

A Western Justice.

In the early days of Illinois, when
towns were few and people of culture
not abundant, the laws were admin
istered in an off-hand way. Substantial
justice, however, was done; and If all
the forms of law were not observed, the
result, on the whole, was about in the
right direction. The following anec-
dote refers to those days.
A certain Justice of the Peace presided
in the examin ng trial of a man accused Of
murder. No lawyer had yet settled IN
this particular town, and the squire bad
it all his own way. After the Testimony
was in, he gravely called the prisoner 70
the bar, sentenced him to be hanged on
the following day, and duly attended
himself to see the sentence properly e1-
ecuted.
A few months afterward, there was
another murder in the town, and tns
suspected murderer was brought beiors
the squire for examination. In the
meantime, however, lawyer from
distant town had been engaged by ms
accused, and appeared in the courtroom
for the defense.
The old Justice was proceeding =
calmly with the second case as with tns
first, when he was interrupted by tns
learned counsel. eff the court please,
he said, "you cannot try this man; Ai
that you can do is to hear the evidence,
and, if you believe him guilty, hola
him over to stand his trial in the clrcui'
court"
Cant try himP' shouted his Honor,
Cant try himI That's all you know
about it. 1 tried a man and had nm
hung only three months ago, and can ca.
do it again. Mr.. Constable, bring ou, ou
the prisoner, and I'll show this youns
man 1 can try his client, and hang MN
too" And he did.

And 10 that tear of Pity qusnched the fame

1t is often desirable to finish photo
graphs and drawings in India ink, in
order to get the best effect, and this can
be done by tasteful person, at home,
fully as well and with greater satisfac-
ton, than when sent to some distant
professional. The greatest trouble is
the difficulty of procuring genuine Chi
nese ink. The Scientific American re-
Gently gave, in answer to q request, the
following formula for preparing per-
feet India ink, the formula being copied
from Riffault's treatise on the manufac-
ture of colors
Calcined lampblack, 100 parts bog
head shale black, in impalpable powder,
80 parts indigo carmine, in cakes, 10
parts; carmine lake, parts; gum arabic
first quality, 10 parts purified OK
gall, 20 parts; alcoholic extract of musk
parts.
The gum is dissolved in so to 60 parts
of pure water, and the solution filtered
through a cloth. The indigo, carmine,
lake, lampblack and shale black are in
corporated with this liquor, and the
whole ground upon a slab, with a null
Ter, in the same manner as ordinary COL
ors, but in this case the grinding takes
much longer. When the paste is tho
roughly homogeneous, the oxgall is
gradually added, and then the alcoholic
extract of musk. The more the black
is ground, the finer it is. The black is
then allowed to dry in the air, until it
has acquired sufficient consistency to be
nodded into cakes, which in their turn
are still further dried in the air, out of
the reach of dust. When quite firm,
these cakes are compressed in bronze
molds, having appropriate designs en-
graved upon them. The nodded ink is
then wrapped in tinfoil, with a second
envelope of gilt paper, The ink which
has been prepared in this manner pos
sesses all the properties of the real Chi
nese article. Its grain is smooth it
flows very we'll, mixes perfectly with
many other colors, and becomes so
firmly fixed to the paper that other COL
ors may be spread over it without wash
ing it out.

John EatOn's Lesson.

There had been breeze at the table
harsh words and angry tones, but din
ner closed in silence. Having said his
say, John devoted his energies to the
work before him, and his wife, white
and still, sat with compressed lips, and
eyes whose hard glitter boded no good
It began about q new bonnet that
little thing which seems to have been
an evil device for the promotion of
strife among families. Perhaps the re-
suit might have been better had she
waited till modifying influences of fra
grant tea and dainty viands had soothed
the somewhat rufled feelings of her
lord and master but fearful of his dis
pleasure, and nervously anxious to
have it over with, the had failed to no.
tice the frown on his view.
He was not, generally, an unkind
husband, but he held fast the good old
fashioned theory that no woman ever
knew enough to spend money wisely ;
and let her work as long and as hard as
she might, she had no claim on the
funds Of the family. To-day, he had
been worried in his business transac-
tions, and that his wife should ask for
money seemed doubly vexatious.
He liked 70 see her well dressed, and
do not think he really grudged her the
little she asked for, as fearfully as if
she had been the Veriest beggar in the
universe but he had got into the habit
Of finding just about SO much fault
when anything was neededin the house,
from q pound Of saleratus to bonnet,
and he considered it wise to teach wo-
man humbleness Of manner, and patient
submission " to the powers that be-"
he had held and maintained his prin-
ciples so long and well, it was hard to
make him understand how it should be
necessary to get another pound of tea,
or barrel Of -four, when he had bought
both a few months before. 1t was a
standing mystery to him "what she
did with it, and he often wished he
could go down street without being
asked to buy something" Did she
think he was made of money? The
years had gone by, and in her heart
these things were hidden. Saying lit
tie, perhaps she thought more they
festered there and produced more bit
terness than is conducive to the happi-
ness of home.
Tonight it had been worse than usual
and when John Eaton left the house,
with an emphatic bang Of the door to en-
force his words, she rose to clear away
the table with tight-shut lips, and eyes
that cleaned hard and cold as steel.
When her work was done she carefully
wrapped up the ill-omened bonnet and
carried it back to the shop, as she had
promised to do in case she concluded
not to keep it. She wore the old bon
net she had worn so many winters, with
here and there little change, such as
her deft fingers could make without
expense, as she carried back the new
one without pang. She felt 80 hard
and cold she could not care for anything
even the dainty bit of millinery that had
tempted her TO brave Johns displeas
ure.
Back again at her own door, she found
letter from her old girlhood home

GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JoHE.-Some
years ago, being in Philadelphia, John
Cockerill, of Ohio, now of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, received an introduction
to prominent divine of that city. Tho
reverend gentleman invited him to at
tend his church on a certain Sunday,
which invitation was accepted. They
entered the sacred edifce together. 1t
was one of the first churches in the city,
and its members were fashionable and
aristocratic in the extreme. The minis
ter put John in an ately-furnished
pew. well to the front. John nestled
comfortably down into one corner of
the same, and looked about as interested
and contented as a toad under a cab
bage-leaf.
After a while the owner of the pew
arrived, and at once gave signs of in
tense disgust and Indignation at the
presence of the interloper. He looked
at John, looked at the pew, and scowled
magnihcently; and finally, after FUN
bling through his pockets for some time,
drew forth card, and wrote'on it with
apencil: "This is my seat, sirl" and,
with an air of loftiest contempt, tossed
it over to John. The latter took it up
and read it, with that lamb-ike meek
ness peculiar to himself, and then, with
the most delightful GOODNESS, wrote in
reply: T" It's deVilish good seat. What
rent do you pay?" and tossed the card
back to its owner.
The latter took it, looked at it with
the most profound astonishment q min
ute or two, and then broad grin over
spread his countenance. He evidently
enjoyed the GOODNESS and brass of his
new acquaintance, and when service wa:
over he approached John, apologized
for his rudeness, invited him to his
house, gave him the best he had, and
treated him with the greatest respect
and consideration during his soiourn in
the city.-Ne1O HaUsn Register,

Campaign Doings.

Oar good city is alive with political ami
nation and exertion. We can hardly be-
lieve that any previous election ever saw
half the number of clubs formed that are
now in full blast. And hard as are the
times, their expenses are incurred on a
scale not at all niggardly. Handsome uni
forms, torch lights and good music are met
at every turn of an evening. 1t would
seem as though every young man in the
city considered himself bound to enroll him
self in some such organization under pen
atty of being nobody.
Some of our friends have been kind
enough to communicate to US interesting 6
items in relation to certain of these clubs,
including the roll of their officers, and we
were greatly tempted to make items OF
them, but on reelection we found that it
would not do. To select few for notice
would be disrespectful to the others and to
do Justice to all would require a force OF
reporters aud an expansion of space not at
our control.
AS much tempted, therefore, as we are, to
speak of the vim and earnestness of psrti
cular organizations that have attracted our
admiration, we can approach the subject. in
general terms only. That we do with the
greatest pleasure and with heartfelt salts
