property, he was TO pay her an annuity
for life. But, as the years rolled away.
it was evident that the annuity would
consume the property over and over
again-the old couple were growing
younger every day-and the lawyer
cancelled, with her consent, the contract
in despair. 1t is impossible to say hoic
old her husband was when she led him
at last into the communion of the
Church, to live and die therein, re-
spected of all, as fine a specimen of n
Christian patriarch as | ever knew.
Some people pay enormous prices for
a rare old painting; it may be for an
antique in coin or pottery. | confess to
a passion, instead, for this old couple.
She is alive to-day, and is, am told, as
bright and fresh, as original, indie
pendent, energetic, and young as ever.
If her eyes should fall upon these lines,
l want her to know that | will gladly
come any distance to marry her again
to any body worthy of her. The fiber
of such woman is wonderful. 1t is
as aromatic and lasting as cedar.-ReU.

the world who might be expected to be
deceived in any business transaction,
and those who know him may well be
incredulous as to any report TO the con
trary.
If war should ever occur between
the United States and Mexico, Captain
King would occupy q sprominent posi-
tion, if in his day. The location of his
estate, between the Rio del Brano and
the head of steam navigation at Corpus
Christi, would place him directly in the
march of our army, who would doubt
less profit much again, as it has in days
past, from his wide-known hberality and
hospitality. He is no politician, and
seeks no political notoriety, but few
men have a stronger love for his coun-
try and its institutions than he.

The Minister and the Monte Men.

A minister on his way from Columbus
to New York was fieeced out of fifty
dollars yesterday morning, while en-
route to this city on the Panhandle Rail
road. An individual, dressed as a
countryman, came into the car and took
a seat near the minister. Entering into
a conversation with the latter he inform
ed him how he had been swindled at
Columbus by three-card-monte men,
and proceeded to explain the modus OPP
erandi of the operation. A second eoun-
tryman put in an appearance at this
juncture and became interested in the
explanation, alleging that he could not
be cheated by such simple subterfuges.
The clergyman was thus induced
to investigate the practical work
ings of the game, which resulted in his
arriving in this city minus the sum above
mentioned. For obvious reasons he
declined to take any steps toward the
recovery of his money, but proceeded
on his journey rejoicing Pittsburg

Save the Old Paper.

Never throw away old paper. If you
have no wish to sell it, use it in the
house Some housekeepers prefer it to
cloth for cleaning many articles of fur
niture. For instance, a volume written
by a lady who prided herself on her ex-
perience and tact, says: "After stove
has been blackened it can be kept look
ing very well for long time by rubbing
it with paper every morning. Rubbing
with paper is much nicer way of keep
ing the outside of a tea-kettle, coffee
pot, and teapot bright and clean than
the old way of washing them in suds.
Rubbing with paper is also the best way
of polishing knives, tin-ware, and
spoons; they shine like new silver. For
polishing mirrors, windows, lamp
chimneys, etc, paper is better than dry
cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much
better if brown paper, instead of cloth,
is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is moi
so apt to mold if a piece of writing pa
per, cut to fit the can, is laid directly on
the fruit. Paper is much better to put
under carpet than straw. 1t is warm
er, thinner, and makes less noise wher
one walks over it."

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

What 10 Do lCtth Cold Potatoes TO
every dozen, which should be grated,
add 1 egg and little nutmeg, mix and
form as Goldfish cakes, fry brown and
serve with stewed cranberries.
Hard Lard for Pdstry.-Lard for
pastry may be used as hard as it can be
cut with knife, and it will make far
better paste than if left to warm. 1t
needs only to be cut through the flour
not rubbed.
OIL out of Woolen.-You can get a
bottle or barrel of oil off any carpet or
wooden stuff, by applying dry buckwheat
plentifully and faithfully Never put
water to such a grease spot, or liquid of
any kind.
The Use Of SdlerdtuS.-The free use
ofsaleratus, so much consumedin bread,
is excessively injurious to the human
system. 1t is particularly liable to in
duce muscular prostration or paralysis,
and is sure to injure the digestive or
gans. Of course, it is most fatal to
children, whose delicate organization is
more sensitive than that of grown per-
sons.
To Cure COrnS.-Bathe the corn with
strong bOrax-water, then shave it close
ly, but be careful not to make it bleed
Place over the corn white felt corn
plaster and wear it constantly until the
corn has disappeared. Every night and
morning wet the small cavity over the
corn (and in the plaster with little
boraX-water, or if preferable the pulp of
lemon. The cOrn-plasters can be pro-
cured at any druggists.
To Keep IUory Handles White.-The
whiteness may be restored to ivory han
dies as follows: Wash with sOaped
flannel and lukewarm water; then wipe
very dry; soak them occasionally in
alum-water that has been boiled, and
allowed to cool; let the handles lie for
one hour in this; then remove them and
brush them well-say with nail-brush;
after this take clean linen towel, dip
it in cold water, squeeze it out, and while
wet wrap in around the handles, leaving
them in it to dry gradually, as if dried
too rapidly out of the alum-water the
handles will be injured.
Ounce Jelly.-Pare and slice the
ounces; add for every pounds of fruit
l cupful water put Feelings, cores, and
all into stone jar; set the jar into a
pot of boiling water; let it boil until the
fruit is soft and broken; strain through
a stout, coarse bag or cloth; to each
pint of juice allow pound of white SUI
gar; set the juice on alone to boil, and
while it is warming place the sugar on
flat dishes to heat in the oven; have the
sugar hot, but do not let it burn; boil
the juice just 20 minutes from the time
it begins fairly to boil; throw in the hot
sugar; stir quickly all the time; as soon
as the sugar is dissolved remove the
kettle at once from the fire; fill your
glasses with the scalding liquid.

Who gives and hides the giving hand,
Nor counts on favor, fame, or praise,
Shall find his smallest gift Dutweighs
The burden Of the sea and land.
Who gives to whom hath nought been given
His gift in need, though small indeed,
As is the grass blades wind blown seed,
Is large as earth and rich as heaven.
Forget il not, man, to whom
a gift shall fall, while yet on earth;
Yea even 70 thy sevenfold birth
Recall il in the lives to come.
Who broods above n wrong I'm thought
Sins much; but greater sin i his
Who, fed and clothed with kindnesscs,
Shall count the holy aims as nought.
Who dares to curse the hands that bless
Shall know OF sin the deadliest cost;
The patience of the heaven is lost
Beholding mans unthankfulness.
Tor he who breaks all laws may still
In Swans mercy be forgiven;
But none can save in earth or heaven
The wretch who answers good with i'll.

AFTER THE LAST POPULAR
SCIENCE LECTURE.

What She Sad on the WGy Home.
Yes, think il was perfectly splendid
Pm sure / feel awfuily wise,
With my head full of glaciers and icebergs
of such a ridiculous size;
And the masses of what do you -call-iti
The dirt that is ever so old
And came down on the ice to New Jersey
1t must have been awfully cold.
The views, too, weren't they lovely?
Especially Mont Blanc and the Alps;
Though the last ones were perfectly fright
full
Those men with the clubs and scalps-
Well, may be they didn't have scalps-
They frightened me all the same;
And that animal--wasn't he horrid?
The-what- did he-say was his name?
Oh perfectly dOte upon science;
think its just jolly good fun;
And wish were going on your eXpe
Dtion, with knapsack and gun.
Mamma says Pm growing strong minded,
And should cut off my hair, and all that
Though eye glasses would not become me,
And how could keep on my hat?
Here's the end of our walk. Good night
You may call Wednesday evening, Rob,
And wen talk of the Glacial Epoch
And the wonderful thingumbOb.

Thus writes Olive Logan, from the
Old World: '' It is really the fact that
jaunty English girls are now raising the
hat by way of acknowledging bow, the
same as the gentlemen do. The hat
s4sed is the little round felt Oxford,
which looks well enough on top of a
pretty young face, but IS a powerfully
hard-looking affair on the poll Of "a wom-

The genuine DooLEY's YEAST POWDER is

A short time ago a certain couple came
over from Short Creek and were married
here. Last evening gentleman. from Ne
osho. who Was in the city, picked up copy
of the Herald and, glancing over its pages
saw their marriage notice. He appeared
thunder struck, rs the name was that of a
friend Of his who lived in Neosho and had
a wife there who supposed that her husband
was in Joplin at work. The Neosho man
to satisfy himself that the married man was
really his old friend made number OF in
qniries, which satisfied him that such was
the case. He then procured horse and
left for Short Creek. intending to let his
second wife's parents know of the villain
whom she had welded. II IT be true that
he is the man suspected, he must be 4 rascal
of the darkest stripe, as his Neosho wife is
a lady of culture and refinement, and the
con6ding girl lie has ruined is young lady
we'll connected and highly respected. We
withhold the parties names for the present
on the bare possibility that there might be a
mistake, but it looks very much like vii.
