MARITAL MANAGEMENT. - Vermont
newspapers tell OF a Burlington woman
who, when her husband came home drunk
waited till he went to sleep, then took his
one pair of pants from him, and made
them over into pair for their twelve
year-old boy, working nearly all night to
finish them. The husband awoke about
the middle of the forenoon, ready to eat
breakfast and start out for another drink;
but when last seen was wrapped in an
old skirt, and lad promised to join the
reformed mems club.

POISONED ARROWS The arrows by
which Com. Goodenough, British Navy,
was killed were poisoned by plunging in
a human corpse for several days. This
form Of blood poisoning is made familiar
in civilized communities by the OCCASION
al death Of medical student from inocu-
latiop by morbid virus. The least scratch
is sufficient to cause death, though the
poison does not develop for several days.
The Pupuans, who use this method OF
poisoning, are very warlike, and it is
said that they do not leave their dwell
ings, even to work in the fields, without
taking Il bamboo bow and some arrows.
Those arrows which are poisoned are dis
tinguished from their more innocent
fellows by being highly ornamented,
carved ana painted. They are barbed
with human bone sharpened as fine al
most as a needle Chicago Feid,

WoMAN's MISUNDERSTANDING to
the customs Of Siam, writer says that
when a girl falls in love she goes to the
mans house and will not leave and if
he declines to marry her. the old women
of the neighborhood turn out and pelt
him with inferior eggs until he changes
his mind. As long as the custom pre-
walls, we shouldn't think the girls Of
Siam would care much if the almanac
makers were to leave out leap-year alto
pethnr.

THE FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS.

the following description of the first
prayer in Congress, from private letter
of Mr.. John Adams. 1t shows, says
that paper, how hundred years ago the
same objections were made that are re-
peated now, to any recognition of Chris
tianity, for fear of sectarianism, and how
it was met and overcome. Would that
Mr.. Adsms could come back from the
dead to teach us some lessons of COM
bined Christian faith and cathOlicity
now.
PHILADELPHIA, September 16: 1774.
When the Congress first met, Mr..
Gushing made q motion that it should
be opened with prayer. It was opposed
by Mr.. Jay of New York, and Mr.. Rut-
ledge of South Carolina, because we
were so divided in religious sentiments,
some Episcopalians, some Quakers, some
Anabaptists, some Presbyterians, and
some Congregationalists, that we could
not Join in the same act of Worship.
Mr.. Samuel Adams arose and said he
was no bigot, and could hear prayer
from q gentleman of piety and virtue,
who was at the same time friend to
his country. He was stranger in. Phil
adelphia. but had heard that MIR. Duche
(Dushay they pronounced it) deserved
that character, and therefore he moved
that Mr.. Duche, an Episcopal clergy
man, might be desired to read prayers
to the Congress tomorrow morning.
The motion was seconded, and passed
in the affirmative. Mr.. Randolph, our
President, waited on Mr.. Duche, and
received for answer that if his health
would permit he certainly would. Ac-
cordingly, next morning, he appeared
with his clerk, and in his pontificals,
and read several prayers in the estab-
lished form; and then read the Collect
for the seventh day of September,
Which was the 35th Psalm. You must
remember this was the next morning
after we heard the horrible rumor OF
the cannonade of Boston. l never saw
a greater effect upon an audience. 1t
seemed as if heaven had ordained that
Psalm to be read on that morning.
After this, Mr.. Duche, unexpected to
everybody, struck out into an extern
porarv prayer, which filled the bosom
of every man present. I must confess l
never heard a better prayer or .one so
we'll pronounced. Episcopalian as ne
is, DR.. Cooper himself never prayed
with such fervor, such ardor, such
earnestness and pathos, and in Ian
guage so eloquent and sublime-for
America, for the Congress, for the
Province of Massachusetts, Bay, and es-
pecially the town OF Boston. 1t had
an excellent effect upon everybody here:
I must beg you to read that Psalm: II
there was any faith in the Sortes BibIi-
cm, it would be thought Providential.

iaid, the fumes from the teapot fresh and
fragrant, and the surroundings cheerful.
After breakfast Rufus Grote was forced to
go away on business. And OH that day he
concluded arrangements for the leasing of a
building that was to return him a thousand
a year and he meant, when the business
was done, that he would be poorer than
ever, and live on less than heretofore, so
that he might lay up more and more.
On that same day one of his houses was
vacated-a dwelling in one of the broad
streets.
He saw his agent, and ordered him to let
the house as quickly as possible.
That evening, while Mrs. Sanford was
out, Flora came to Rufus Grote's side, and
looked earnestly III his face.
"Uncle," she said, with quaint serious
ness, don't you want me to get into your
lap?" 0a
"Why do you ask that?n demanded the
old man.
Mamma said I mustn't. She said YOU
wonld not like it,"
What made her think I should not like
it?n .t .suY+
because she said you weren't happy
and she cried when she said that her little
girl mustn't make her Uncle Rufus dislike

"And what did you say to that?" asked
Rufus Grote, with awakening interest.
II told m that | would put my ARM
around your neck, and hug and kiss you,
and see If | couldn't make you love me. If
you love me [ knew you would let me sit in
your lap" w.
When Mary Sanford came in halt an hour
later, she found her child in Uncle Rufus
lap, his sunny head pillowed upon his
bosom, and his strong arm entwining her.
The good seed had fallen, and had taken
root! a"
Three days afterwards Rufus Grote saw
his agent, and told him that he need not
hurry about letting the empty house.
On the evening of the same day Mary
Sanford came in with a letter in her hand,
andfound Flora nestled away in her uncle's
arms.
"Uucle Rufus,' she said, Il nave re-
ceived a letter from Mrs. Maynard. She
will be at home the day after tomorrow
"And she wants you to take charge Of
her house?
"Yes.n
every we'll. Wait till she comes"
And the old man held the little child i'm
his arms until it was time to go to bed.
On the following morning Uncle Rufus
told Mary that he wanted her to take a ride
with him.
She said she would be at his service.
And later a fine coach drew up before the
Mary make ready and to make Flora ready
also. @4@
They rode along, and when they stopped,
Uncle Rufus handed them out before a
house with great chestnut-trees growing in
the yard and upon the foot-way.
He led them into the house.
And in the broad, handsome parlor he
turned and spoke, holding Flora by the
hand.
"Mary,'' he said, i" this little child has
promised to make her old uncle happy, and
| will nof give her up. This house is mine.
If you will come and help me take care of
it, I will live in it. What say your"
What could she say?
She saw the new light upon her ulcle's
face and, when he took the child in his
arms, and held the sunny head close upon
his bosom, she saw the blessing of the COM
ING time. She said, with a burst of tears:
