A Rise in Life

Beauty is only skin deep. to be sure
nevertheless it is q d0wry to be priced
and frequently proves q means of ad.
vancement. During the troubles in the
reign of Charles L, q beautiful country
girl came to Londonin search of q place
as a servant maid; but, not succeeding,
she hired herself to carry out beer from
q brewhOuse, and was one of those call
ed tub-wOmen. The brewer, observing
a good locking girl in this low 0ccupa-
ton, took her into his family as q serv-
ant, and after . short time married
her; but he died while she was yet q
young woman. and left her the bulk Of
his fortune. The business of the brew.
cry was dropped, and to the young
woman was recommended Mr.. Hyde,
as skillful lawyer, to arrange her hus-
bands Affairs Hyde, who was after
ward the great Earl of Clarendon. find
ing the widows fortune very consider
q BILE, married her. OF this marriage
there was no other issue thana daughter,
who was aftefward the wife James IL,
and mother of Mary and Anne, queens

The PICTURESQUE in Nature.


If there be a single principle that
ought to be recognized before any other
with regard to the picturesque in ma.
tre, it is its entire incOmpatibility with
artificial establishment. All of this
smoothing and dressing may be neces-
sary in the city and its suburbs; and
those who cannot see why they are
more needful in town than in the cOun-
try, will sometimes spoil the beauty of
a whole rustic village by smoothing and
decorating a few acres about their
dwelling houses. l have often, in my
rambles, been amused at the simplicity
of some honest people, who. upon learn
ing my errand, would lead me to n of
these bald spots for a picture. In one
instance l was conducted to a little
pond bOrdered in its whole circumfer-
ence by neatly pecked curbstOnes, with
a few formal clumps of shrubbery il
regularly disposed outside Of it Near
it stood 4 noble ash tree. When we had
come in sight of it my companion turn.
ed his eyes toward me with an express
sion of triumph. Hooked disappointed
and remarked
Here is a good subject utterly spoiled
by thOse curbstOnes and clumps of
shrubhery. Were l to make a picture
containing these fOrmalities. everybody
would laugh at it"
He remarked that he thought the
curbstOnes An ornament.
IAN ornament they undoubtedly are"
I replied, IF they were not they might
be admissible into a picture; for even
formality does not clash with the pic
turesque. if it be not the effect of de-
sign. Ornaments, as you will learn, if
you carefully reflect upon what you OBJ
serve, ruin the poetical character Of ev.
cry natural scene which they embellish.
Nature. like Millions Eve, is when least
adorned, adorned the most"

Advice to Nervous People.

From whatever cause or combination
of causes nervousness has been pro-
duced, if happiness and health are TO be
restored, the cause must be removed
and the injury they have caused repair
ed. For. in proportion to the weakness
of a mans system and the enfeeblement
of his nerves, will be the liability of his
falling a victim to other and more fatal
maladies; and thus it is that every day
we find such diseases as bronchitis, con.
sumption, Bright's disease, brs in dis
ease and insanity following at the heels
of nervousness. First, we must remove
the cause, restore the tone of the heart,
improve the blood. All injurious hab-
its must te given up; late hours and
incompetence in eating abandoned
smoking, If practiced, stopped. The
food is most important. 1t must be
abundant and wholesome-neither too
much nor too little. It should not be
sloppy, and soups had better be avoided
so long as solid food can be taken. Rise
from the table feeling you have had
enough, but not oppressed with what
YOU have eaten. The bread should be
stale. and no very heating food taken.
Eight hours sleep should be taken
every night, If possible. This alone will
nearly cure. Take no narcotics to make
you sleep. A few raw oysters before
bedtime are worth all the narcotics in
in the world, are easily digested, and
furnish material for restoring nervous
tissue and blood. If you wake up In
the middle of the night, sometimes .
stale biscuit eaten will send you off to
sleep again. A change Of scene, air,
and cheerful society, with sea bathing.
Are excellent agents for curing nervous.
ness Avoid physic-it exhausts the
tone of the system. the very thing you
would restore. Above all, keep up a
good heart and q firm reliance on the
great Author of life.

A Cincinnatian Abroad.

TT ere is a certain type of American
not unfrequently seen here, who has
become rich without becoming wise, and
who apes wisdom because he has money.
You will find him generally at the Grand
Hotel or the Hotel de Louvre, always
growing because dinner is not served at
midday, and In a chronic state of won
der and dissatisfaction because the
people who surround him speak French
instead of English. He is generally
badly dressed in the newest garments,
speaks with an utter ~recklessness of ad.
verbs and adjectives. is hazy on the sub
ject of lenses, and admires nothing with
out asking how much it cost. Without
the slightest necessity of his making
such an assertion, he generally tells you
he is q self-made man. The writer met
such a person as this a while ago, and
in q spasm of good nature consented to
conduct him through the Louvre and

away. W6S 10 llc INC ATOl,
but Immediately after The sad accident,
Mary wrote to her pastor that his ser.
vices would not be required, hence he
need not come.
Thursday was, indeed, a sad day for
poor Mary, for it was the day she was
to have b come the happy wife OF Ar
thur Alden. but, alas! how sadly and
YEARLY passed the hours of the day
And at 3 o'clock, bOr modification was
heightened by the appearance of her
old pastor, What could it all mean!
What had brought HIN here, when his
services were not needed? An explain
alton was soon had-he had not re-
ceived Mary's epistle notifying him not
to come, 80 had his journey all for
nothing. So, after praying and sympa-
thizing with the unfortunate young
lady-it being now about half.past 8
O'clOck-started for home.
After the minister had been gone a
few minutes, Arthur happened along
and entered into conversation with the
hired man at the front gate, apparently
on some business matter, and Mary,
noticing him from a window, became
more unhappy than ever; for. indeed,
she had hoped to be spared the pain of
looking upon his face again, as she
could never be his wife, and regretted
very much that anything should ever
occur to give her even a casual view Of
his face. But turning her head from
the window a moment, then looking out
again, Arthur had disappeared, and she
at once gave a sigh of relief and started
for the parlor to have a good cry in
spite of her apparent bravery, when
10! she was met in the parlor by Ar
thur, who said to her with deep emo
ton:
"What, Mary! ten minutes to 8, and
no preparation made for the wedding?
And you just sent the minister away
as I understand? What does this
meanP"
Dear, whole-hearted girl! She was
at this stage of the proceedings com
pletely overcome, and throwing her
self un~reservedly into her lovers arms
wept on his bosom like a child, too hap
py and thankful to utter a single word.
Rallying, she said:
arthur, permit me to ask you what
a l this meansp Did you not consider
yourself fully released from the engage
mentp Did not my note yesterday, say
SOP Besides, you had a full right to
deem yourself free after the accident!
MARY, l treated your note yesterday,
as of no account, and now say that you
are the only girl 1 ever loved, and the
accident has had no more effect in cool
ing my affection for you than would a
drop of water in extinguishing a burn
ing mountain. So my little pet, hurry
on with that wedding dress. A swift
horseman can o o overtake the preach
er, and bring him back in haste, so that
no time will be lost, worth mention.
ing"
So there was a real wedding at the
humble residence of Mr.. Maiden, the
officiating clergyman receiving a fat fee,
IN the form of a fifty dollar greenback.
besides his stage and railroad fare paid
both ways. This all happened years
ago, Arthur proving to be n of the
most dutiful and affectiOnate husbands,
and Mary One of the most loving little
wives, and everybody said they were
the happiest couple in all AldensvilIe.

from terrible death at the burning of
Of the Southern hotel at st. Louis, the
other night. A few days before the fire
Mr.. Wraxton had gone to Marquette, and
from thence by steamer to the northern
shore Of Lake Superior, where he was at
the time of the fire. Had Mr.. Wraxton,
instead of going as far north as be could
get, gone to st. Louis and put up at the
Southern hotel, and got nice room right
under the roof, and slept SO soundly that
the alarm of fire would not awaken him,

A Very Sad Story.

On Beacon avenue, Jersey City, resides
family named Morrison. The father
had been out of employment for nine
months, and the family was in a state of
utter restitution. On Friday Morrison
gladdened the hearts of his wife and two
children with the announcement that he
was to obtain employment on the Jersey
City & Bergen horse-cars on the follow
ing Monday. Later in the day he re-
ceived 81 for removing piano, and the
sight of that dollar threw the starving
creatures into ecstacies. The wife sug-
gested that the first purchase should be
q bucket of coal, but Morrison replied
that he would go out with bag and
gather coal on the railroad tracks west of
the tunnel. While thus engaged he was
run over by cOal-train on the Delaware,
Lackawanna 81 Western Railroad at
West End, and both his legs and left
arm were cut off, He was taken to his
Officer Short, who had Morrison con-
veyed home, states that he never saw
such an abode of misery. Night came,
and there was no fuel or light of any
kind except the rays of the moon as the
mangled remains lay stretched on bed.
The wife and her two children, who had
not eaten morsel during the day, left
the house and wandered from one under
takers establishment to another, begging
some of them to bury her husband.
Morrison was quiet man, of temperate
habits, and had been for three years in
the employ of the Peoples Gaslight
Company, from which he was discharged
on account Of the depressed state of the
times. He was 80 years of age. The
distracted woman said OF him that a
more devoted husband never lived.-N.

AN extraordinary occurrence recently
took place at a circus at Norwich, Eng
land. One of the performances includes
representation of Dick Turpn's ride to
York. The "ride" as is well known, re-
suits in the death of Black Bess, and she
is borne on hurdles from the circus. The
mimic representation was converted into
a reality, for when the grooms attempted to
remove mare, which figured as Black
Bess, from the hurdles, she was found to
be actually dead. When jumping the
turnpike gate she fell, and no doubt rup-
tured herself internally, but she got up
and was ridden around the ring again,
when she cleared the gate and completed
her part of the performance. That she
was injured was not discovered until she
was removed from the ring.
