A Senator's Wife.

Most Of the biographical sketches
of the late Mr.. Wade mention that he
married Miss Rosenoranz, and that he
was forty-one years, almost an old
bachelor, and she thirty-seven, al.
most an old maid, when the nuptial
knot was tied. She lived with him
for thirty-seven years-that fact, too,
is stated in the Sketches" but how
useful a helpmeet and helpmate she
was, is not more than very generally
narrated. 1t is rather an important
fact that Mrs. Wade was her hus-
bands secretary. assistant, reader,
and, it may almost be said, right
hand. Senator Wade had an almost
invincible antipathy to putting pen to
paper. He had almost equal disin-
clination to search books. The
drudgery Mrs. Wade ,cheerfully as
sumed. When her husband had a
great speech in hand, it was his wife
who furnished him with the material,
which he afterwards arranged, assim-
Hated and systemized. Great things
are told OF her skill in this respect
OF her tact. industry, patience.
There is nothing discreditable to
the late Senator in the statement, for
his share OF the work was undoubted-
ly the greater, and his mind it was
which utilized Mrs. Wade's industry.
But it must have been everything to
him that she felt such lively inter-
est in matters which were the BUSH
ness OF his life; that she could be in
diligently consulted upon points
which not many women know any
thing OF, and that, while she was proud
OF his success, she knew just how he
had succeeded, and why he was de-

One OF LincOln's ssLittle Stories.v

In Scr'iJner for April, Mr.. Noah
Brooks prints a number Of new anec-
dotcs Of Lincoln, ELECTED by his Lin
coin "reminiscences in the March and
February numbers. The following is
one of them:
"a young gentleman in Tennessee
was once travelling a country road,
mounted on fine black racing horse
of great value His casual compan-
ion was shrewd old fellow, who was
known in those parts as a Yankee,
and rode a rack o'-bones OF horse,
apparently hardly able to stand on
hisi feet. The Yankee bantered the
Southerner for horse trade, which
of course the Southerner Indignantly
declined. The Yankee however in
sisted that his was a very remarkable
horse. OF what was known as the set
ter breed, which sets for big game as
dog sets for small game, and that as
animals of this breed are very scarce,
his horse was accordingly very valu-
able. The Yankee soon had a oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the truth of his
statement, as his horse had the pecu-
liarity of dropping on all-fours when
touched in a certain spot by the spur
or heel Of the rider. The Yankee,
seeing deer on knoll not far away,
touched his raw-bones in the tender
spot, and, sure enough. down he went
on all-fours, assuring the Southener
that there was game ahead. The
would be horse trader told the
S0utherner that there must be game
near by, for his horse never set in
that way except when on the scent Of
game. Immediately after. the deer
made its appearance to the Southern
er. who succeeded in bringing him
down, and so much pleased was he
with the wonderful instinct OF the
horse that he Immediately snapped
with the Yankee on even terms. Soon
after they came to a stream, which
the Yankee, mounted on the South
erner's fine horse. crossed in good
style; then, standing on the opposite
bank, he looked back after his COM
panion. The setter horse had sunk,
his head being hardly above water;
his rider was dismounted and nearly
drowned. Reaching the bank and
blowing the water from his mouth, he
exclaimed: Here, you Internal Yam
keel what kind of horse is this to
drop on his knees in the middle Of a
stream?' Hushl hushp replied the
Yankee, keep perfectly quiet. That's
setter horse; he sets for fish as well
as for deer, and 1 tell you there's
game there!"

Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is
vanity, and power pageant; but
knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment,
perennial in fame, unlimited in space,
and infinite in duration. In the per-
formances of it's sacred offices, it
fears no danger, spares no expense,
looks in the volcano, dives into the
ocean, perforates the earth, wings its
flight into the skies, explores sea and
land, contemplates the distant, ex-
amines the minute, comprehends the
great, ascends to the sublime-no
place too remote for it's grasp, no
height too exalted for its reach.-De
Witt Clinton.
"a neat toast" said an old gentle
man, as he read from an old volume:
I'm ascending the hill of prosperity
may We never meet friend" what
is there neat about hdt?" asked his
wife; Il don't see any point to it."
Don't see any pointl Why, if your
going up the hill to prosperity and
meet friend" he must be going
down, musten't he? Must be on the
down hill path, unprosperous-must,
in short see, I see," interrupted
the old lady.
To man, time is for sowing seed,
while eternity is for rcaping the har-
vest. An inch of time is given US
here, to decide whether we shalls pend
our eternity in endless weeping, or in
supernal bliss. A pious life, however
short, is followed by an eternity of
Joy. A wicked life, however long, is
followed by an urending existence in
every part Of which a man wishes
that he had never been born. No
man ever had an adequate concep-
ton Of the variety and brevity Of our
earthly life. No man ever had an adj
equate conception of the vastness
and grandeur Of a happy eternity. If
only knew'how man lived, I could
easily tell how he died.-,S. s. Times.

Fifteen Great Mistakes.-It is a
great mistake to set up our own
standard OF right and wrong. and
judge people accordingly. 1t is a
great mistake to measurs the enjoy
ments of others with our own; to ex-
pect uniformity Of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeaver to
mould all dispositions alike; not to
yield in immaterial trifles; to look for
perfection in our own actions; to
worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied; not to al

leviate all thatneeds alienation, as far
as lies in our power; not to make al
lowances for the infirmities Of others;
to consider everything impossible
which we cannot perform; TO believe
only what our finite minds eau grasp;
to expect to be able to understand
everything. The greatest of all
mistakes is to live only for time,
when any moment may launch US in
to eternity.

Cleanliness Of the skin is as neces-
sary for the health Of horse as for
that of man. The skin exfoliates
or throws off in scales the used up
portion, and this dusty matter should
be brushed out OF the coat. The ir-
ritation by the brushing stimulates
the skin, and assists this healthful
action; but the irritation should not
be too severe. A moderately hard
brush is preferable to hard, sharp
currycomb.

publican party in the Illinois legislature
were able to defeat John A, Logan for the
U. S. senate. This year the greenback
vote has by drawing more largely from the
democrats than from the republicans given
the legislature back to the republicans,
who are responsible for all the legislation
against which the greenbackers cry so

United States senator who will go to

The Solid North.

"A solid north" is the radical cry, Let
US see how solid things are any way.
There are only seven states with unbroken
republican delegations in the next house.
O0ly seven solid republican states and
they have only 20 representatives. There
are only IL states in the senate that are
solid, with two republican senators each,
On the other hand the democrats have
n the next house unbroken delegations
from l3 states which send total of "a
representatives and have in the next SEN
ate two solid" senators from each of Is
states.
So that in the senate we lack but one
state OF having just half this Union solid
for democracy, and 10 the house we are
only six states short of the same solid
condition.
The republicans lack in the house twelve
states of solid" halt of the Union and in
the senate they lack six
The democrats send majority of the
delegations to the house from 10 states, on
the lace OF the returns. A just action on
contests will give US two more. Two states
are tie and the republicans on the face of
the returns have majority delegations from
seventeen states only, or three short of a
majority. Fellow citizens, this is demo
cratic republic,
