Why She Wanted to Marry Him.

A minister in Wheeling, W. Va,
went to bed early on recent evening,
and about $3.50 was called by his wife
and told that he was wanted below by
a loving couple who were anxious to be
mated. He donned his clothing and
went down, and he found a woman of
perhaps thirty-five or forty and strip
ling OF twenty. The eXpectant bride
groom was at a loss how to proceed
with a business which was new to him.
But not SO with the woman. Seeing
that her lover was hopelessly entangled,
she spoke up promptly, thus: ''Mr.
Preacher, as I'm the oldest, | expect
IA better do the talking. You see,
Charley, here, has stepmother, and
she don t use him right at all. Now,
I'm widow, and | want to take Char
ley home with me tonight and take
care of him. Not that / want hus-
band, because if did I'd get someone
nearer my own age; but | Just thought
| would try and take care of Charley.
SO we d like to be married right away"
The minister asked her if the necessary
license had been obtained, and. upon
receiving a reply in the negative, stated
that 1t would be impossible for him to
marry them without that very useful
document.

As You Like 1t.

There was one man on the Woodward
avenue car the other rainy morning
who felt as if the weather couldn't be
abused enough.
Don't you hate such weather as
this?'' he asked of portly acquaintance
opposite.
"No, sir" was the decided response;
:" / don't bother about the weather. If
it's fair, all right; if it's foul, all right. g"
But you can't like such morning
as this?''
Its just as good for me as any other
sort O. morning. was the calm reply.
"And you like to see rain and mud
and slush, do you?"
Yes; am perfectly satisfied"
The grumbler was out of patience,
but be secured revenge sooner than he
hoped for. In getting off the car the
fat man slipped and sprawled at full
length in the mud, to the intense delight
of the other, who rushed to the platform
and shouted:
Don't say a word-its one of your
kind of mornings! If it was one of
mine you'd have fallen on bed of nice,
clean, soft, white, beautiful snow! Stand
up, till look at your

and then another slip with the word

are taught its meaning, use and relation.
Then the pupils are taught other words

Thus, in each new word that comes up,
the scholar is interested, and his inter-
est is preserved all through.

Hemenway's Boy on Eagles.

Hemenway's boy writes the following
upon eagles: 1.-The American eagle is
the largest and powerfullest bird in the
world, but he is smaller than an ostrich,
which is more Of a boss than bird.
The eagle is a very proud bird, and
don't go round eatin' worms and cater
pillars, and diggin' up tomato plants
like hen does, but he flies through the
air with his wings, and sometimes
swallers little children, which is very
sad. The eagle lives sometimes to be
several hundred years old, which is Il
long time to live. Hickey Bartlett's
sister is an old maid, and she is as old
as an eagle. There is several kinds of
eagles, but the United States eagle is
the boss bird, and can haste fits out
of any bird that ever growed in Europe,
or Asia, or Africy. An eagle can fly
about a thousand miles in very short
time. | should like to see two eagles
fight. | should like to own an eagle"

BRowNLOw is very small, meek
looking man, with a cautious, watchful
expression on his face, common to peo-
pie who have some cause for being con-
stantly on the look out, and his wife is
a very large, independent-looking kind
OF an angel. The other day Brownlow's
friend Jackson asked him: Brownie,
old boy, didn't | see you sitting in your
wife's lap last EVENING"" "Wife slap?"
echoed Brownie, quickly, and rubbed
his ears with a reminiscent gesture. 81

An Alpine Avalanche.

In the summer of 1864, party of tourists,
while visiting the Alps, climbed, with great
difficulty, to an elevated and snow-covered
plateau, in order to obtain better view of
swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the bleak
ness and sterility of midwinter around and
above Them In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls, they crowded it over the
edge OF the plateau. In falling it struck soft
er snow, which Immediately gave way, and
soon an avalanche was tearing down the moun,
taln-side, burying and destroying everything
in its course. As the handful of snow became
the irresistible avalanche, so the hacking cough
with sore throat and Catarrh, if neglected,
speedily develops into that dread DESTROYER,
Consumption. In the early stages, DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy will effect cure, though if
the blood be affected or impoverished it must
be purified and enriched by Dr. Pierce Golden
Medical Discovery, and the liver and bowels
kept active by his Pleasant Purgative Pellets
Many who deSpaired of life and had been

THE New YORK PHILHARMONIC JOURNAL
cautions its readers against being swindled in
the purchase of the cheap organs and pianos
which, it says, are now being almost forced
into the houses of the people, at prices which
seem very low, but which are really very high
considering the worthlessness of the instru-
ments. The warrants which the makers of
such instruments make are practically worth
less, because the expense, trouble and risk of
enforcing them are so great that most people,
when they find out about it, will rather bear
their loss than try to get reparation. Makers
know this and warrant organs which they know
must very soon be utterly worthless. The safest
way is to buy the best. Anyone buying a
Mason a. Hamlin Organ, for instance, runs no
risk; and he is wise who insists on having one
of these organs and will not be persuaded to
take any other. 1t should be remembered that
dealers sometimes try very hard to sell inferior
organs, because they can make more on them

company WAS attached to the Sixth A la

well used up-more than two thirds of the

three bullets. Of the 600 men lie took int o

haggard, and his uniform crimson with

He thought all his men were to be killed,
and he preferred to share their fate. In a
few moments a fifth bali struck him, pass

This made the wound, the scar of which
