] She Wondered only for q moment, and
acceded to his proposition If he would
keep himself out of sight, and let DO
man or woman, or anybody else, know

! the half of what she was to receive from
the company, and he was to take it and
90 forever from her sight, and let her
pursue her destiny as she saw fit. To
! this he agreed, and after borrowing SO
I OF her left her to complete her wedding
/ garments.
That $40 was a disastrous investment.
/ Mr.. Bigsbv could not resist the tempta-
I ton to 20 into the Fifth Avenue Hotel
for a drink, and though he kept his hat
well down about his eyes, he was recog-
nized by an acquaintance who happened
to know something about the suit Mrs.
Bigsby had prosecuted against the rail-
road company, and also about the i'm.
pending marriage of Mrs. Bigsby with
the widower in the next block.
Need we say what happened? This
friend was an emplOye in the New York
office of the Lake Shore road, and duty
to his employers compelled him to act
promptly. A telegram from him to the
Office of the company at Cleveland set
tied Mrs. Bigsby's hopes of the $4,000.
But this meddling friend did not stop
with that. He knew of the impending
wedding, indeed he was an invited guest
He got to the church just in time. The
contracting parties were at the altar, and
the officiating clergyman had commenced
the ceremony. He had got to the point
Of asking if any one knew of any reason
why the parties should not be indisso-
lubly riveted, when a clear voice rang
out "Yes."
"Who obiects?" asked the clergyman.
'I dc" was the response.
"The reason" demanded the clergy
man.
81 took a square drink with the iady's
husband last night, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel He is not a corpse, or If he Is he
absorbs well. That is the impediment.
It might be of no earthly account in
Utah, but in New Yorkit won't answer"
The clergyman thought likewise, and
so the wedding was postponed. Mrs.
Bigsby wept bitter tears, and suggested
to her husband that vas to be, that Bigs-
by could be very easily killed; but as he
is a weak and milk-hearted creature, he
declined to imbue his hands in gore,
even for so charming a woman as Mrs.
Bigsby, especially as the inopportune ap-
pearance Of her husband precluded the
possibility of getting the $4,000 that she
would have been entitled to, had he
actually perished in the disaster.
And so she sits and weeps in her lone
" room, and murmurs at the inscrutable
DEGREES of fate. The children of the
widower came to her no more, the wild
over has discontinued his visits from
motives of delicacy, and all the human
being she sees is a man in shocking
clothes, the supposed deceased, who
comes regularly to borrow a halEdOllar
which she has to give him to get rid Of
him. It is a cold and heartless world,
and Mrs. Bigsby was spared, when so
many really good people feel it tacutely
She wonders why Bigsby wasn't killed

Afternoon Men.

There is a prOverb which says "Whal
can be done at any time is never done,
and applies especially to a class who
have become slaves to the habit of pro
crastination, the habitUal pOstpOning of
everything that they are not compelled
by necessity to do Immediately. Now
delays are not only damaging to present
prospects, but they are destructive of
ultimate success. A dilatOrv man is not
to be depended upon. The slightest pre-
/ text is sufficient for him to disappOint
YOU. Ifan emylOye, the sooner he Is
| discharged the greater the advantage to
the employer. There are those vino
who may properly be called afternoon

ready to 90 to work. In the morning
they walk around, carefully inspect then
duties, and then say:
''Plenty to do to-day. I must 60 to

HOW 10 Be Handsome.

Most people would like to be hand
some. All cannot have good features
they are as God made them; but almost
any one can look well, especially with
good health. 1t is hard to give rules
in a very short space, but in brief these
viii do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act free, and it
takes care of itself It's thousands Of
air-holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enOugh-nOt
too much. The stomachs can no more
work all the time, night and day, than a
horse. 1t must have regular work and
rest.
Good teeth are a help to good looks.
Brush them with a soft brush, especially
at night. Go to bed with cleansed teeth.
OF course to have white teeth it is need
full to let tobacco alone. All women
know that. Washes for the teeth should
be very simple. Acid may whiten the
teeth, but it takes off the enamel and
Injuries them.
Sleep in a cool room, in pure air. No
one can have a cleanly skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, in order to
look well, wake up mind and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.

How he Married the Bankers Daughter.

Adolph 2. is young, prepossessing,
and clerk in a wealthy bankers office
in Paris, on a salary of 5000 a year. The
banker has a pretty daughter Of IS.
Adolph has not a cent, but that does
not deter him from waiting upon his
employer one morning and saying: 'Sir,
Ihave the honor of asking your daUgh-
ter's hand in marriage" The banker as
tonished, rang the bell, and told the wal
ter to throw AdOlph out of the window.
'As you please" calmly said the clerk,
''but before that is done learn that am
about to become a partner in the Lon
don house of Bathurst & Co." Atthis the
banker softens. 'The proof, sir, the
proof Of what you say" Give me forty
eight hours in which to go to England,
and will bring you the proof. AdOlph
hurries to London, presents himself at
the office of Bathurst q Co., and says ::
81 have come to propose that you take
me as a partner" and, as Mr.. Bathurst
looks as though he thought AdOlph de-
mented, he adds: Il am about to marry
the daughter of NJ P, of Paris" AdOlph
is thereupOn asked to be seated. They
converse and come to terms. The bright
young man returns to Paris carrying to
his future father-in-law the proof of his
statement, and the young people are

Marvellous Dental Feat,

Tooth carpentry bids fair to be robbed
Of its terrors, for it has come to pass that
decayed and torturing teeth can be taken
out, cleaned, filled, repaired, and re-
placed in the jaw. DR.. D. B. Rumble, Of
Monticello, has for some months been
asking himself the question, IF broken
and separated bones and lacerated flesh
would unite and become sound, why not
the teeth?o He resolved to try the eX-
pertinent when he found a subject. The
latter turned up in the person of a stsl-
wart blacksmith with a decayed and
painful molar, the first on the right side
of the lower teeth. The doctor extract
ed it and found it slightly decayed, but
with two ulcerous sacs at the point of
the prOngs. He explained the new the
ory to the patient, who was desirOus to
save the tooth, and he told the dentist
to 90 ahead. The ulcers were removed,
the tooth drilled and plugged with gold,
the proprietor holding it while the den
list did the job, which required two
hours. The tooth was replaced in its
socket, and now, after ten days, it mas
become firm as before.

A Solid Case at Last.

An Irish matron enters a lawyers
office: 'Is this the place, sur, where peo-
pie git divorces?'
''Yes, occasionally we engage in that
kind of business. What can we do for
you, madam {"
Faith, sur, I'd Ioike to git divorce
from me husband Pathrick."
"What is the matter with Patrick,
madam"
"Shure and Pathrick gifts dhrunk, sur
That's bad. But l hardly think that
alone will be sufficient cause. Have you
no other complaint ?'
'Tndade I have, sur; Pathrick bates
me-"
''Yes, yes, I see. That adds cruelty to
drunkenness. But, madam, you do not
seem to suffer much in appearance from
Patrick's cruelty. I think you must find
a stronger reason before the court will
grant you a divorce"
"Well, sur, besides all that, fear, sur
that Pathrick isn't thrue to me"
"Ah! now, madam, you begin TO talk
business. What reason have you fol
thinking that Patrick is unfaithful t.
you"
"WeH sur, I may say that it's meself
that has a sthrOng suspicion that Path
rick is not the father Of me last choild."

Senator Thurman's Unfor-
tunateS,

''Why resort to forced resumption?
Why crush the unfortunate in order
to anticipate bya comparatively brief
period an advent that would come
naturally and unattended with severe
distress - TThurman's Hamilton
speech.
Commenting on the above, the
New York Sun, a recognized leading
Democratic paper, pointedly says:
"Who the unfortunates are for
whose distress the Senator express
es such tender compassion, he does
not say. They can not be the far
mers, because the approach of re
sumption, if it has lowered the price
Of their produce, has also cheapened
clothing, tea, coffee, sugar, and all
kinds of manufactures. They can
not be the mechanics, for they too
profit by the fall of prices as well
as farmers. They can not be mer-
chants who are doing business on
their own capital, for if they sell at
low prices they also buy at low
prices. They can not be the women
and children who have deposits in
savings banks, for their money Is
worth more to them than it was.
Who, then, are the persons who dread
resumption and declaim against 1t q?
Plainly they are spectators who are
doing business with borrowed mon
ey, or who have run in debt to buy
land and goods, and want another
deluge Of paper money to dilute prl-
|. ces so that they can get out whole.
''Now, while it is true that the IN
fortunate man who owes more than
he can pay is to be pitied, it is not
true that the Nation is bound to
break its faith in order to relieve his
misfortunes. The purpose to redeem
our legal-tender notes in specie as
soon as possible, was proclaimed
when they were first issued, and
the day for doing so has since been
fixed by an express act Of Congress.
For the last three years business has
been adapting itself to the execution
of the resumption act on January l,
1879, and all existing contracts have
been made on a specie basis. To
repeal the act, and 60 back to an ir-
redeemable paper currency, would
only throw matters into confusion,
and postpone, without averting, the
day of settlement We have suffer
ed the worst that the apprehension
of resumption can do, and we ought
to 90 on and get the good Of it. The
unfortunate debtors Who are being
crushed by the process may justly
appeal to the mercy of their credl-
tors, but if these insist on the fnl-
fillment of their obligations, there is
no call for the Nation to interfere.
Men who have made bargains with
their eyes open should not cry out
like babies when those bargains turn
out badly and still less should
man like Senator Thurman en2OUr-
age them in such babyism."
Gen. Miles, with a detachment Of
q regulars and a few scouts, defeat
ed the Bannock Indians on Soda
Butte creek, on the 8th inst. 13 In
dams were killed and 81 captured,
while Miles lost but one officer and
one enlisted man.

AReYOIutiOnizing Threat.

lhave heard the story as applied loose
ly, but as JenkinsOn's father-ln-laW tells
it, it has more of point and pith than in
the other cases. JenkinsOn was the man
who entered the complaint. He was
Young merchant, and had married the
daughter of an old merchant, and said
daughter was inclined to be headstrOng
and independent, plainly giving her liege
lord to understand that she should be
her own mistress and do as she pleased.
Jenkinson regarded this as an outrage,
and in the plentitude of hisindignatiOn
he betook himself to his wife's father,
and there entered complaint, deep and
bitter, against the fair reCusant, and, un-
fortunately, in his laundering he more
than alfintimated that the girl had not
been brought up as she ought to have
been. But the old man betrayed no i'll
feeling toward his son-in-law.
Did the vixen say she would do as
she had a mind to do p
yes, sir" .....-
"And she makes you generally uncom-
Portable? ??
"She does indeed, sir"
Goodness mel What ingratitude! |!
And only last week gave her that beau
tiCul set of rubies."
Il know it, sir"
"Jenkinson, I paid 81 200 for those
stones and the setting"
Il should say they were cheap at
that"
so they were, so they were, and I
thought they would make her so happy
and so good. But I have a plan in my
mind I shall put up with no more re-
ports of her shortcomings. She thinks
She will inherit a fat piece of property
from her old father, but she may find
herself mistaken. have given her the
rubies, but 1 will give her nothing more
until know that she has mended; and
if I hear another word Of her wilfulness
.-ifI hear another world will scratch
her name from my will and leave her
but a lesson on behavior. If she troubles
you any more, you can tell her what l
say; and be sure l mean it. 1t is time
she should allow her old fathertO rest in
peace.
A month later, and the old merchant
asked his daughter how she was flourish
ing at home.
20, grandly!' she cried. "YOu won't
believe how good and kind james Is. He
isn't cross any more at all"
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
His threat had had its Reading

WOman's Love.

A man, who had struggled with a ma
lignant disease, approached that crisis in
its stage on which his life seemed to de-
pend. Sleep, uninterrupted sleep, might
insure his recovery. His anxious wife,
scarcely daring to breathe, was sitting by
his bed; her servants exhausted by con-
stant watching, had all left her. 1t was
midnight; a door was left open for air ;
she heard, in the stiffness of the night, a
window open below stairs, and soon after
approaching footsteps. A moment more
a man with his face disguised entered
the room. She instantly saw her hu5-
bands danger, and anticipating the de-
sign of the unwclcome intruder, she
pointed to her husband, and pressing
her finger upon her lips to implore
silence, held out to the robber her purse
and her keys. To her great surprise, lie
took neither. Whether he was terrified
or charmed 10y the courage of her af1ec-
ton cannot be known. He left the room,
and, without robbing a house sanctifed
by such strength Of affection. he departed

Bishops Christian EconO-
nv,

Ohio State Journal: Under the
administration of Gov. Allen, a Dem
ocratic gentleman named Hamlin
was made Steward of the Asylum for
Insane at Athens, and he discharged
all the duties of the position with
the assistance Of one hired man.
Under the administration Of the en-
inently good Bishop, Hamlin was
discharged, a new Steward ap-
pointed, the position of storekeep-
er was created and filed, and a
clerk to the Steward was also ap-
pointed; and all these to do the
work Of the aforesaid Hamlin and
his man. In addition to this, the
former Steward had no family to be
kept by the State, while the present
Steward and his storekeeper bOth
have expensive families to provide
for. This is a fair specimen Of Chris
tian economy practised under the
Democratic Bishop. No wonder the
appropriations are giving out and
poor workingmen are being dis
charged.
