Religious Exercises.

She was a lady named Magru-
der, and somewhat strict in re-
ference to family morals. Indeed.
While Mr.. Magruder was good
man, and endeavored to discharge
his duties as a parent with pro-
priety, yet his views AS to what
really was proper often ran coun-
ter to the views entertained on
the same subject by his wife, and
she had spunk. These differences
on a certain occasion are thus des-
cribed by common friend.

the blood from his nose, tried to
pretend it was a joke. But Mrs.

The Little Coffin.

Twas tinny, rosewood thing,
EbOn bound and glittering
With its stars of silvery white,
Silver tablet, black and bright,
Downey pillowed, satin lined,
That lettering, chance to find
Mid the dust and scent and gloom
OF the undertaker's room.
Waiting empty-ah, for whom?
Oh, what love.watched cradle bed
Keeps tonight the nesting head,
Or on what soft pillowed breast,
Is the cherub form at rest,
That ere long, with derkened eye,
Sleeping to no lullaby.
Whitley robed, still and cold,
Pale flowers slipping from its hold,
Shall this dainty couch enfold q?
All, what bitter tears shall STAN,
All these satin sheets like rain
And what towering hopes are hid
Meath this tiuny coffin lid,
Scarcely large enough to bear
Little words that must be there,
Little words cut deep and true.
Bleeding mothers heart anew
Sweet pet name and "Aged Two !"
Oh, can sorrows lowering plume
Round our pathway cast gloom,
Chill ard darksome as the shade
By an infants coffin made
From our arms ali angel flies,
And our startled, dazzled eyes,
Weeping round its vacant place,
Cannot rise its path to trace,
Cannot see the angels face.

The Man With a Plaster on His
Nose.

"The greatest OF these is charI-
ty." One day last week a Newark
chap walked down Broad street
with a plaster on his nose, and the
following criticisms were passed
upon him by his fellow-citiZens
within the short distance between
Central avenue and Market street /:
"Nice looking rooster, that is ="
"Been on a fearful bum and
barked his nose against lamp
post I"
"YOu always know man by
the nose he keeps -
"Been sassin' his wife and got a
smash in the snoot with a stew
pan 7"
"Tried to come it over some
fellow and got whaled, and serv-
ed i'm right ~
"Got a red nose and trying to
hide it ~
"Must have blowed fearful on
that horn to burst it in that wayW
"Tbat fellows carryin' a plast.
er advertisement dodge, but it
won't workw
"B'lieve that man amt got no
sore nose at all. He's altered his
appearance for somethin' or other,
and the perlice ought to spot 'im"
mice old rum blossom that is,
if l had it I'd stay in the house
and not be seen by anybody!"
And yet the subject of all these
uncharitable remarks got his nose
skinned trying to get into crowd
ed revival meeting.

"Tom, do you take this female
for better or worse"
Certainly, square; l cum a pur'
pose," responded Tom.
"Deliiah, do you take this man
and promise to stick to him thrO'
thick and thin?"
"You bet. old hossr answered
Delilah. "D'ye s'pose I'd have
these fixings for ennything less'n

"Then pronounce you man and
wOman-nO, husband and wife
and may the Lord have mercy on
your souls. Amen"
The supper was excellent, con-
sisting in part of pancakes, maple
'lasses, ginger bread, hominy and
venisOn.
A toast, "Bully for the Bride"
was drunk standing; thirty-three
of the crowd were drunk sitting.
The BRIDE was arrayed in a gor-
geOus calico of the Dolly Var
den pattern, brilliant with all
the colors of the rainbow, each
separate color representing some
feathered biped, from gobblers to
peacocks. Instead of the custom
ary orange blossoms in her hair,
there was an enormous hollyhOck.
Pinned on the top of her head,
and extending to her waist, was
scarlet ribbon four inches wide,
doing duty as the bridal veil, with
the solitary and not worth noting
difference that it was behind in
stead of before.
The bridegroom was gotten up
without regard to expense; blue
jeans coat surmounted with brass
buttons about the size of a quarter,
said coat built on the "claW ham,
mer" or "scissor tail" order of
architecture; butternut colored
pants, with red flannel stripes
sewed down on the seams of the
legs; white flannel vest with ca
gle buttons and cotton velvet COL
lar; brogan shoes creased with
lard and tied with coon-skin
strings.
The wedding presents were nu.
merous, and intended for use ra-
ther than ornament as follows:
bread tray, dozen iron spoons,
sausage grinder, 2 wash tubs, 8
fat irons, ] dozen brooms, J dozen
tin cups and pans, 8 stew pots, 2
skillets, and a variety of'other ar
ticles not now remembered.
There was also one article the
use of which your correspondent
was not able to ascertain-a sugar
trough with rockers on it.
Upon asking information of the
bride she blushed slightly, ele-
waited her defeated nose and re.
marked, "of all the fools 1 ever
see, cultures and preachers are
the biggest.

Successful Expeditions Against Hostile

Successful Expeditions Against Hostile
Tribes
FORT FETTERMAN, w, T., March 25.-The
expedition which left here on the first of March
under Gen. Reynolds, to proceed against the
northern hostile Indians, returned to old Fort
Reno and is expected here in few days, when
full details of its movements will be given.
Enough is known to show that it met with live
ly success and punished Crazy Horses band of
Sioux-Cheyennes and MinnecoDions. 1t is also
certain that the number Of hostile Indians row
away from their reservations has been greatly
over estimated.
If the agencies at Red Clound and Spotted
Tail were removed to the Missouri river the pre-
datory bands which have invaded the frontier
would be obliged to succumb as they obtain
their supplies of war material as well as infor-
nation of the movements against them from

Fort Reno, March 22-We cut loose from the

Tongue and Rosebud rivers until satisfied that
there were no Indians upon them. We then
struck across the country toward Powder river.
Gen. Reynolds, with part of the command,
pushed forward on the trail leading to the viii
lage of Crazy Horse, near the mouth of Little
Powder river. This he attacked and destroyed
on the 18th inst, finding it perfect magazine
of ammunition, war material and general sup
plies Crazy Horse had with him the northern
Cheyennes and some of Minneconjons, prob
ably one halt of the Indians of the reserva-
ton.
Every evidence was found to prove that the
Indians were in copartnership with those at
the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies, and
that tbei proceeds of their raids upon the set
Elements had heen taken to these agencies and
supplies brought out in return.
In this connection would again urgently
recommend the immediate transfer of the In
dams of these agencies to the Missouri River.
