in Iowa was illegal, for the reason that No
yember S was the day set apart by law for
that purpose. It closes a long article on this
subject with the observation that, Congress

! had, says Celia Logan, writing from
New York to the Baltimore News,. a, little
business to transact a few days ago with a
certain dealer in real estate. While sitting
in his office, there entered a lady, tall,
slight, well-built and graceful. Not young,
although art had been made to do its share
to make her appear SO. She was dressed
all in black, the silk being covered with
real Spanish illusion "a very beautiful,
costly and perishable material, seldom
worn in this or any other country, on ac-
count of its expensiyeness. She was load
ed with jewelry-the diamonds in her ears
were almost as large as walnuts, and could
not have cost less than $4,000. Even the
handle of her parasol must have cost a
large sum. Her carriage and pair outside
were enough to make ones mouth water,
SO splendid were they. This Lady talked
in a loud shrill voice, with . ring Of COM
mand in it. as that Of person possessing
power and conscious OF it. And no won

custOmed to carry matters with y high

A woman who had suffered barbarous
beatings from her husband, went to not
ed wise man Of the village to inquire how
she might cure those paroxysms of vio-
isnce. The soothsayer heard her COM
paint, and after prononnciDg some hard
words and using various gesticlllations,
while he filed phial with mysterious
mixture, desired her, whenever her hus.
band was in a passion, to take mouthfnl
Of the liquor, and keep it in her mouth for
five minutes. ~ 1-f
The woman, quite overoyed at so SIM
pie remedy, strictly followed the counsel
which was given her, and escaped the usu-
al Establishments.
The contents Of the bottle being at last
expended, she returned to the wise man,
and anxiously begged to have fresh sup
ply OF the same liquid.
"You foolish woman" said the sooth-
sayer, ''there was nothing in the bottle but
brown sugar and water. When your hrs-
band is in passion, hold your tongue,
and, my life for it. he viii not lay finger
upon you." a

Beautiful Sentiment.

Our readers are indebted to Robert
IngersOn for this beautiful sentiment:
''There is no day so sacred but that the
laugh Of a child will make it hOlier still.
Strike with hand Of fire, o weird musician,
thy Tyre strung with Apollo's golden hair.
Fill the vast cathedral aisles with smy-
phonies sweet and dim, deft TOUGHER of the
organ keys. Blow, bugler, blow until
your silver notes do touch and kiss the
moon-lit waves. and charm the lovers wan
dering on the vine-clad shores: but know.
your sweetest strains are discoryl all, COM
pared with childhood's happy laugh-the
laugh that fills the eyes with light. Oh.
ripping river of laughter, thou art the
blessed boundary line between the beast
and man, and every wayward wave Of
thine doth drown some fiettul fitnd OF
care. Laughter should make dimples of
joy enough in the cheeks Of the world to
catch and hold and glorify the tears OF
grief.

Funny Tragedy.

There was fun as we'll as good acting in
a Chicago theater during Lawrence Bar
rett's week of ofSnakespeare. "Will You per-
init me to descend, my fi.iends:' said Mare
Antony. just then he stepped inadvert-
emily on the frail canvas-coyered frame
work representing the marble platform at
the head of the steps, and down came the
whole concern. Marc Antony and all.
"Julius Caesar" who had been dea" several
hours, and who was lying stiff and cold on
a bier at the foot of the steps, threw up an
arm in terror when the platform cracked,
AMI kicked around very lively as the stuff
tumbled about his ears. ''If You have
tears" continued mare Antony" ''pre-
pare to shed them now;" and they were
shed literally by the audience in the con-
vulsive laughter that followed.

Always act as if you believed God was
present, and that you must give an account
to him.
People who do wrong seldom have any
difficulty in finding out excuses and justiii-
e..:~,, for it
He who receives good turn should
never forget it; he who does one should
never remember it.
Idleness is the dead sea that swallows up
all virtues, and is the self-made sepulcher
of a living man.
There are too many men trying to solve
the problem of how to live without work.
and this is what keeps up hard times.
He who feareth to submit any question
to free discussion, hath greater love for
his own opinion than for truth.
Keep out Of debt, out of quarrels, out
of damp clothes, out of reach of liquors.
and out of doors all you can in good
weather.
Sunshine Is powerful treatment for
diseases. If you aspire to health and hap
piness, allow the sunlight to come into
your houses.
None are too wise to be mistaken. but
few are so wisely just as to acknowledge
and correct their mistakes; and especially
the mistakes of prejudice.
Ifyou have good sister, love and cher
ish her with all your heart. If you have
none, why then love and cherish the
good sister Of some other man with all
your heart.
A daughter is almost always right when
she endeavOrs to initiate her mother: but
we do not think the mother is right if. at
a certain period of life, she tries to initiate

Not only is kindness due to everyone.
but a special kindness is due to everyone.
Kindness is not kindness unless it be spe-
cial. 1t is in its fitness, seasonablencss
and individual application that its charms
consist.
Hyou are wise man you will treat the
world as the moon treats it. Show it only
one side of yourself, seldom show yourself
too much at a time, and let what you show
be calm, cool and polished. But look at
every side Of the world.
A wise man hath foibles as well as fool.
But the difference between them is that
the foibles of the one are known to himself
and concealed from the world; the foibles
of the other are known to the world and
concealed from himself.
What is a home without wife? She is
the lamp that destroys darkness-the angel
putting loneliness to flight; and is, or may
be, the dispenser Of every blessing the
mind of man may conceive, or the soul
sigh for. Home without wife is no home
at all, it is ''strange land''-a head with
out brains-a heart without consc;ence-a
ship without sails-an ocean without
waves-a world without religion.

Our Selected StO7U.
STORY OF ACTUAL LIFE,

Samuel James, a brilliant young man
and our classmate at college and in the uni
versity, had descended from wealthy anG
influential family, and had every advantage
in his scholastic career that wealth and so.
cial position could bestow. He took his
baccalaureate degree, winning the first
honor of his class. His valedictOry ad.
dress gave him great distinction as an ora
tor, scholar and elOcutionist. He soon had
the degrees of Bachelor Of Laws and Mas
ter of Arts conferred upon him.
When he returned to his home he was
toasted and conplimented by the whole
community. He was admitted to the bar
and short time only elapsed before he
displayed learning, ability and wonderful
oratorial powers. He was complimentetl
by the court and bar. and was pronounced
an intellectual prodigy.
lie was invited to a banquet and was the
honored guest. He yielded to temptation
and was carried to his room drunk. Next
day he appeared in court feeling bad. The
older professional gentlemen invited him
to the saloon and he was again made
drunk.
He held up, refused the cup, and married
Miss Lucine Ragland, the belle of his State,
lovely and accomplished woman, whose
wealth was counted by the hundred thous-
ands. At the nuptial party he declined the
poisonous cup.
Time wended its way on fleet wings, and
IN n foNN Inr< rfvy tn
gether with his wife's had passed out OF
his hands, and the words of misery and
yovcrty were descriptive of their condition.
He had fallen, and had become driinkard
and gambler in high life.
The fruits Of the marriage were three
lovely little daughters. The mother, hav-
ing no parents living, applied to an uncle
for assistance, who sent her few hundred
dollars. She told her husband Of her un-
cle's kindness, and woman-iiIe said:
Husband, take it, do as you please with
it, bat please promise me that you will not
spend it for whisky or gamble it off at
cards. Oh! you do not know how hard it
is to be called drunkard's wife. have
heard it said Of me, when passing in the
streets, by my old friends, who do not
know me-"
James fell upon his knees, and cried -
sIIas my conduct brought my sweet Lucine
to this humiliation? l swear, my darling
Lucine, my sweet. my lovely wife, that
from this hour you shall have sober and
a moral husband. l will never drink an
other drop or play another card.'' ,-
In ecstatic pride and Joy she threw her
arms around him and said: -DOverty will
be bliss compared to wealth. If you will
but stand up to your VOW"
She sent for friend and in joyous man.
ner repeated her new hopes Of happiness.
She asked him to make public his deter
mination, and at her request, he joined the
society of Good Templars. She joined
with him.
/ She is now one Of the happiest women in
the whole South, and her husband repre-
sents State in the Senate of the United
States, and has won again his former hon.
ors and renOwn. Her society is courted
now by those who had refused to recognize
the drunllard's wife. Her children are at
school at Patapsco, Nd, where they are
admired by all pupils, on account of their
brilliant minds and goodness Of heart.

New Use for the Magnet.

A curious instance Of the utility Of the
magnet is mentioned in the Aidelaidc Reg
ter of June IA. Ayoung lady sat down on
a settee, on which a needle had been care
lessly left. 1t pierced her thigh, and to-
tally disappeared in the flesh. Medical
men said it could only be reached by q
large incisiOn, and concluded to leave it to
time, in hope that it might work itself out

Senator Morton, it is related, could have
been humorist if he had liked. In early
lite he had the art OF being exceedingly
funny with sober face. When he began
politics, he made, at Terre Haute, speech
so amusing that its fame spread, and invi-
tatiOns to speak came from all sides. Nor
ton was troubled. ''This is something of
hit have made thus far" he said to a
friend, ''if do not permit it to be my ruin,
feel the danger, and am going to strug-
gle against it. All these Invitations have
poured in on account Of the speech the
other night; they all expect something
witty. Now, the question in my mind is,
whether have the moral stamina to dis
appoint them. Only the greatest punsters
live to any age, and they are generally cast
aside after few months Of amusement,
like child's old doll, and never come out
again only on stale occasions for display
on account of what has been. politician
who goes. into wit as regular thing must
expect to sacrifice everything else to it. He
will gain no reputation as a sound man.
He will never get very high in honors.
People will not deem the author of witty
sayings capable OF originating large, solid
measures"

Iknow not how to address you; have
never dared to come before SO grea. a tri-

show you my heart just as it is, with all
its aches and longings. Yes, longings is
the word. You men think that we women
folks don't care if VIC are not loved, so We
have a good home, plenty to eat and wear;
but do wish you could see into some of
our hearts. Down in the corner there is a
spark ready to burst forth into flame

question. /, for one, have good, kind

The most perilous hour OF person. s
life is when he is tempted to despond. The
man who loses his courage loses all there
is no more hope of him than Of dead
man but it matters not how poor he may
be, how much pushed by circustanccs, how
much deserted by friends. how much lost
to the world if he only keeps his courage,
holds up his head, works on with his hands
and with unconquerable will determines
to be and to do what becomes a man, all
will be well. 1t is nothing outside of him
that kills, but wha. is within, that makes
or unmakes.
