A Tribute 10 Woman.


The following beautiful tribute to
woman was written several years ago.
1t occurs in tale of touching interest,
entitled "The Broken HEARTS, an.

ooh, the priceless value Of the love
of a pure woman ! Gold can not pur,
chase gem so precious. Titles and
honor confer upon the heart no such
serene happiness. In our darkest mo,
ments, when disappointment and in.
gratitude, with c0rroding care gather
thick around, and even the gaunt form
of poverty menaces with his skeleton
fingers, it CLEANS around the soul with
an angels smile. Time can not mar
brilliancy; distance but strengthens
its influence, bolts and bars can not
limit its progress it follows the pris-
oner into his dark cell, and sweetens
the home mOrsel that appeases his hun.
ger, and 10 the silence of midnight il
plays around his heart, and in his
dreams he folds to his bosom the form
of her who loves on still, though the
world has turned cold from IN. The
couch made by the hand of a loved one
is soft to the weary limbs of the sick
sufferer, and thepOtIon administered by
the same hands looses half its bitter
ness. The pillow carefully adjusted
by her brings repose to the fevered
brain, and her words of Kind encOur.
agement revive the sinking spirit. 1t
would almost seem that God, compass.
sionating woman's first great frailty,
had planted his jewel in her breast,
whose have1-like influence should cast
into forgetfulness mans remembrance
of the fall by building up in his heart
another Eden, where perennial flowers
forever bloom, and crystal waters gush
from exhaustless fountains"

4 VTCll-RenIember incident Of

Rev. J. William Jones, in an address
before the national Sunday school
convention, Atlanta, Georgia, related
the following incident: In the early
spring of 1868, when the Confederate
and Federal armies were confronting
each other on the opposite hills of Stat
ford aud SpottSylvania, two bands
CHANGED one evening, at the same hour
to begin to discourse sweet music
on either bank Of the river. A large
crowd Of the soldiers of both arm is
gathered to listen to the music, the
friendly pickets not interfering, and
soon the hands began to answer each
other. First the band on the northern
bank would play Star Spangled Ban
ner, Hail Columbia, or some other
national air, and at its conclusion the
boys in blue would cheer most Justify.
And the band on the southern bank
would respond with Dixie or Bonnie
Blue Flag, or some other southern
melody, and the boys in gray would
attest their appreciation with an 'old
Confederate yell" But presently one
of the bands struck up-in sweet and
plaintive notes which were waited
across the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES eau

swelled into a grand anthem which
touched every heart, Home Sweet

there went up simultaneous shout
from both sides of the river, cheer

Don't Marry in naste.

Girls talk all alike about marriages,
as though it was Jubilee, gladstone
thing, a rose without a thorn, and 20
it is if all is right, if they go about it
as rational beings, instead of merry
making children. 1t is a serious thing
to marry. tits a life business. There
fore never do it in haste; never run
away to get married; never marry for
wealth or standing, or fine person or
manners, but for both, for the qualities
of mind and heart which make an hon
orable man. Take time. Think long
aud well before you accept any propO-
sal; consult your parents, then some
judicious friend, then your own judg.
ment. Learn all that is possible for
you to learn of your proposed husband.
When all doubts have been removed,
and not till then, accept him. l OH

Terrible Result of an Insect Bite.

Daniel Wehner, a boy Is years of age,
met strange death yesterday. A
wound no larger than a pin-point did
the mischief and entailed upon him
agony most intense, preliminary to the
final result. On Sunday last he was one
of a crowd who sought comfort at Union
Park, and like many others he lay upon
the grass until quite late hour at night.
He felt no fatal result, but went to his
home, No. 816 Allen avenue, and slept
soundly till morning. He worked all
day Monday, and toward evening began
to experience sharp pain in the right
right side of his face, near the right eve.
A close examination revealed very
small infamed spot under the eye, and
in few hours the inflammation extend
ed downward to the neck, causing great
swelling. He suffered much that night,
and by morning was terribly disfgured.
Becoming alarmed, he visited DR.. Haus-
man, who at once discovered that the
case was serious one of poisoning by
the sting of some insect. He called DR..
T. E. Holland, and, after a consulta-
ton, they used every effort to reduce
the Inflammation and correct the state
of the blood, although satisfied that the
boy could not be saved. The poison
gradually crept through mis- system till
it rendered him frightful object, his
head being four times it's natural size,
and blood and pus issuing from mouth,
nose and ears. At o'clock on Friday
afternoon he died. OF course, it was
impossible to determine what kind of an
insect stung him, but it seems probable
that he received the sting at the park
st. Louis Republican.
