And there came day " hen the boy was

And pale and cold in his little bed

But the gentle tones of mother and child
Are blended again in the evening mild
In angel song.

sort took place in this city, where a
young widow married her father-in-law
which might be nore properly charac-

at least one woman in the Uuited States

play OF Mr.. Tilden's wealth. Whatev-

do, she never met him at the door with

him In respectful silence. No opprobri-
Gus or harsh language has passed her
lips on such occasions. Many things

to the White House she will never dis

A MARRIAGE OF CONVEN-

COMFORTABLE Birdie BIT FOR WINTER
From Messrs. Crane & Co., Newark. \ .
j., we have received a sample of Rowley's
Patent flexible rubber bit. suitable for use
at any season, but particularly desirable in
severe cold winter weather. when an iron
bit is liable to freeze to the horses tongue
unless previously warmed or otherwise
prevented from adhering to any moist sub
stance with which it comes in contact. Our
own practice has been TO dip the bit in wa
ter before putting it in the horses mouth.
or, If il is simply breathed upon few sec
onds. the danger of sticking to the tongue
is prevented. But the danger of freezing to
the tongue is not the only objection to a
heavy iron bit in cold weather. for the met
al being a good conductor of heat is con-
stantly drawing of heat from the mouth of
the horse. A nonconducting substance
once warm. remains, warm without much
draft upon the heat of the animal, so that,
In very extreme weather, the rubber bit
must feel far more comfortable. not only
when first taken in the mouth, but all
through tine day. These bits also, being |
flexible. would have less tendency TO cause /
sore mouths on hard pulling horses

STARVATION FOoD.-Those who have
thoroughly investigated the matter assure
Us that bread made from fine white flour is
starvation food" 1t does not contain the
elements necessary to properly nourish
and sustain the human body. II parents
expect their children to grow up with good
health, strong nerves, perfect teeth. good
eyes aud hair, they must not give them
fne white -four bread as a constant article
OF j ct. II is believed that the prevalence
OF early-decaying teeth and premature
grayness and baldne>s OF the head are
argely due TO the general use OF white
tiour. The whole OF the wheat, reduced to
4 uniform condition, without loss or injury
of the food elements, makes nutritious
food, which contains all the elements nee
essary for growing and health. Fortunate
ly many people are beginning to under
stand this important matter.
