this as she folded the white hands of beau
tlful girl and put white flowers and green |
leaves about the marble cold forehead. There
was tiny babe beside the girl mother. The
house was hushed and there was mourning
such as few know. Half glad that the mother
and child were dead, the rest of the family
must perform the last sad Office of burial and
bear the family shame. A haunted house! |
A ruined home!-God the architect and man
the spoiler. The curse Is there, and the de-
'troyer cannot escape.
Our friend c., of the Memphis city

he city that can inform them correctly in re-
gard to the proper mode of making the sa-
ute: C says the correct one is to place
he left arm by the side, and at the word of
command raise it up until the hand falls in
ront of the body at the hight of the breast,
md yet on a level with the elbow; close the
land as if grasping a glass, and carry it
quickly to the mouth; resume first position
nd smack your lips. This drill to be re-
eated as many times during the day as your
riends will fill the aforementioned glass.
