A Pr rie Ro II n o

A farmer who resides out near tn,
Iowa line had business at Worthingtot
the other day. Night over took him on
his return, and he sought lodgings in
cosy but humble cot on the broad prairie
He found the house occupied by lone
bachelor but he was hospit,ble and was
willing to share his primitive board and
lodging with the stranger. The traveller
discussed the loneliness Of his hosts con.
dition and urged him to seek out some
dear lone one of the other sex to share
that prairie home with him and thus
make two discdAsolates happy. This was
exactly what the old bachelor acknowl-
edged was what would suit him, and he
listened with the greatest delight and
interest as the stranger delineated the
slime points" of certsin domestic en-
ployed by him scarce twenty miles away,
and whom he was satisfied would be
love, honey and housekeeper to his
bachelor friend. In fact he agreed to
broaoh the subject to her promptly on
his arrival home, which he did, found
things not only lovely, but she, too, was
more than anxious, so anxious that our
matchmaking friend hesitated. Final.
ly, she agreed to balance accounts and
scratch off what was due her for per
diem if he would only transport her to
that lone prairie bachelor. Impulse and
business stepped in and he yielded.
Soon that over-anxious twain were face
to face, and, as Spurgeon expressed it
the other Sunday, their gushing thoughts
simultaneously burst out, "First let US
think Of it ; second, let us consider how
to perform it; third, let us do it at once"
And away they sped to Worthington
and came back man and wife, all in less
than two days notice and four hours
acquaintance. ,ta ,,..,,., .,.

DONG UP MEN's LrNEN.--Some time
ago my husband used to complain that
his linen collars did not set nicely in
front. There was always a fullness
which, in the case Of standing collars,
was particularly trying to a man who
felt good deal Of pride in the dressing
of his neck, as it spoiled the effect OF his
crAvat, and often left gap for the dis
play of either the collar.band of the
shirt or half-inch Of bare skin. While
talking with pra ctical shirt maker one
day, he mentioned his annoyance, and
inquired if there was any means Of re-
heving it. eyes," answered the man,
''the fault lies with your laundress.
While doing up your collars she stretches
them the wrong way. Damp linen
is very pliable, and a good pull will
alter fourteen-inch into tifteen-inch
collar in the twinkle of an eye. She
ought to stretch them crosswise and not
lengthwise, particularly. Then in
strengthening out your shirt-bosoms she
makes another mistake Of the same sort.
They also ought to be pulled trosswise
instead Of lengthwise, particularly in the
neighborhood of the neck. A length
wise pull draws the front Of the neck
band up somewhere directly under the
chin, where it was never meant to go,
and Of course that spols the set Of your
collar. With the front Of your neck
band an inch too high, and your collar
an inch too long, you have . most unde-
sirable combination S4
The speaker was right. AS soon as
my husband ordered the necessary
changes to be made in the methods Of
our laundry, a wonderful difference man
Tested itself in the appearance Of that
most important part Of his clad anatomy,
his neck. Let me commend the shirt
makers hint to other distressed men.

A DRINKING sONG.


Come, brothers, fill a flowing bowl,
Ring the glasses, yours with mine,
And let the chorus fuller roll
Cheering the heart, filling the soul
Pass the laughing, kissing wine!
Overhead now swing your glasses,
Radiant with the rosy wine,
Mirthiul ~ our loving lassos,
Drink their health ~ round II passes,
Sunny as the good old Rhine!
We leave behind us all our books,
All our tutors learning fine;
We will not sit like ancient rocks,
Moping ever in dusty nooks-
We will Quatf the glowing wine.
Let him who will read day and night
From his bones the flesh will pine,
And from his eyes will flee glad sight;
But fOr'us It's our delight
10 learn the lore that comes with wine!
Now, brothers nj, sing loud and long
See the glasses how they shine!
And to old Bacchus cheers prolong
For all these glorious words OF song
Hurrah! for the grand Rhine wine.

EDlsoN's Best INVENTION Gin
cinnati Saturday Night gives an inter
esting account of one of Edison's inven-
tions, thus; Tmbibing a mint julep in
the saloon adjoining, a brilliant idea
flashed through his brain, and before he
left the place he invented an instrument
that is likely to revolutionize the entire
saloon business. 1t is machine SO con-
structed that when person who has
just been partaking of some spirituous
beverage breathes into it, the action of
his breath upon a peculiarly prepared
substance (also the invention of Mr.
Edison), made to revolve slowly by
means of a small crank, makes such an
impression that by again applying the
lips and turning the crank the other
way, the effects of the drink can be re
produced as many times as desired, no
matter how great length of time may
have elapsed. A man provided with
one of these instruments could prepare
himself with cocktails for long journey
simply for the price of one drink. Edi-
son christened it the "toddygraph." OF
course the saloons will fight against it
bitterly, as it must inevitably destroy
the business Of ninety ont of hun
drcd of them A person can mix his
drinks just TO suit himself, and then
stock his tOddygraph with a supply Of
different beverages sufficient TO last him
a lifetime And when he has drank
himself to death with il his children can
bring the instrument out occasionally,
and revive tender recollections of their
parent by turning the crank and getting
a Whit Of the old mans breath"

young voice, the voice of Teresa, sister
of Bella, whilom friend Of Laura Beard.
sley-begins to speak;
"Yes, Leon, my own, will grant
your impassioned prayer, and breathe
the words you long to hear into this
magical casket, and then, when you are
lonely or inclined to doubt me, jealous

joy to your dear heart. | do return the

you do, J am quite fond of her. Good
