"No won't take ale tonight" he said
to the landlord, ''nor cigar. Give me a
glass of brandy 'and-wa
Several customers were waiting, and
some time elapsed before his turn came.
AS he looked round the room, he saw an
unoccupied chair, and sat down in it. A
strange feeling came over him as he did
so-a kind of shrinking from the closer
companionship with those around him.
But he shook off the feeling half angrily.
"Pshaw" he thought: show foolish I
am! l shall probably never sit here
again"
At length the landlord brought him
his glass. He sat looking at it in an alb
sent manner, and did not taste it.
"Sick?' asked the red faced man at his
side as he saw the untasted glass

"In debit"
"No."
ain love." At this loud laugh rang
through the room.
"No," said Horace, shortly. "I am
tired, and am here to drink my brandy
and water in peace"
ooh! she won't let you drink it at
home" was the rejoinder
Another laugh went round.
Horace disdained to reply. He raised
the glass to his lips, and, at the same
time, raised his eyes. His glass went
down untasted and he sprang to his feet,
Every one in the room looked towards
the door. There, pale and trembling,
stood Milly White. She did r,t speak :
she only looked at Horace earnestly for
a moment, and turned away. He threw
down the payment for his liquor, and
rushed after her. On the pavement he
found her sobbing. He drew her arm
through his, and said, as they took their
way home. "God bless you Milly! You
have saved me-" And so she had.

We had the pleasure Of witnessing, a
few days since, in this city, the modern
miracle of transmitting music by electric

Old Time Mirrors.
Detroit Free Press


The surface of smooth water is a natu
raj mirror, which the ancient poets re,
ferred to as having been used by persons
for viewing their own forms.
With the ancient Egyptians one Of the
principal articles of toilet was the mirror
Wilkinson said it was mixed metal, chiefly
copper, highly polished. Silver mirrors
were so common among the Romans that
they were in use even by the maid ser
wants The ancients had drinking vessels
as mentioned by Pliny, the inside Of
which was so cut and polished that the
image of one drinking from them was re-
fected many times. In the 18th century
glass mirrors we're extremely rare in
France, but metallic ones were in com
mon use.

You may bind bird with a soft silken
cord, and while he remains still he will
not be sensible of his confinement; but
as soon as he attempts to fly he will feel
the cord that confines him; and the
greater his desire and his efforts to escape,
the more sensible will he be of his bond
age. So the sinner may long be slave
to his sins, and never be aware of it til
he rises to 60 to christ.-TPayson.

when a Married Man is Single.
MARRYING AGAIN CONTRARY TO A DECREE OF
DIVORCE.
A novel point of law respecting the way in
which the courts shall treat man who violates
the order contained In a decree OF divorce
against him, forbidding him to marry again,
was passed on yesterday by Judge Van Brunt
against Barker Van Voorhis. Mrs. Hamp is q
judgment creditor Of Van yoorhis. The latter
is beneficiary under the will of dead relative
named Elias Van Voorhis The suit is for
decree for the application to the satisfaction OF
fendant, Van Foorhis, from Elias Van yOorhis'
estate, except such as are absolutely necessary
Tor his support. His counsel, Mr.. G. w. stevens,
his first wife obtained divorce from him and he
Is compelled to pay her alimony; that he is now
married second time, and by his second
w Wlfe ,h nas .s,S Child; and that the payment
his present family make it necessary sy for
him to receive and have control of all the
money due him under the will OF Elias Vac
Noorh,s. The plaintiffs counsel, Mr.. Weed,
met this defense by claiming that as, by mar
ryfng after decree OF divorce had been granted
against him, he violated an order OF the court,
he must now be held to be a single man, and
that no favor could be shown to him on &C
count OF bis second family. Van voorhis's
counsel then urged that his child, at least, was
entitled TO claim support from him, and that
the INFANTS claim must be regarded In the 40.
portionment OF the money due him: Judge van
as single man. The plaintiffs counsel then
presented a schedule, prepared by experts, OF
the proper expenses OF an unmarried man, and
the eos e sdoRf and order It to
lows: Board, 81 per week; washing S. per
month; clothing, $50 per year. Judge Van
Brunt reserved his decision as to the amount to
be allowed Van Voorhis to live on, and that to
be applied to the satisfaction OF Mrs. Hamp'S
judgment.-fN. 7. Times, 22d.
