A Broken Heart.

Miss Prince was the only daughter of
Pittsburg merchant, and two years ago
was welded to Mr.. Savage, of Baltimore.
Six hours after the ceremony the train
upon which they had started on their
bridal tour was wrecked, and the hus-
band of less than a day was killed. The
shock Of the terrible calamity robbed the
young wife fer Il time of her reason.
From this mental death she recovered to
go into slow decline. All the blossoms
of her life were whitening, and the world
once so robcd in beauty and delight be-
came a prison from which her spirit long

sea, but the panorama of scene and Incl

Josh Billings Advice to the "Quirc'
Singer.

The 1st thing to do to make Il good
quirc singer is to giylc little. Put ur
your hair in curl papers every Friday
mite, so as to have it in good shape Sun
day morning. If your daddy is rich yo,,
can buy some store hair; if he is very rich
buy some more and build it high upon
your head; then git high priced bonnet
that runs up very high, at the high part
Of it, and git the mi|incr to plant some
high artatislcls into the iyhcst part OF
it. This will help you sing high, as So
prano is the highest part
When the tune is give out, don't pay
attention to it, and then giyIc. Giglc !,
good ,lccl.
Whisper to the girl next you that EN-
Jones, which sets on the second sect iron,
the front on the lcft-hand side, has her
bunnit trimmed with the same color cx-
act she had last year. and then put your
book to your face and giglc.
Object to every tune unless there is a
solow into it for the soplrano. Cotf am,
ham good deeI before you begin to sing.
When you sing shake the artafislcIs OIL
you, bunnit, and when you come to a
high tone brace yourself back a little
twist your head to one side and open
your mouth the widest on that side, shct
the eye on the same side Jest a triple,
and then put in for dear life.
When the preacher gifts under hed-way
with his preachin', write note onto the
blank leaf into the fourth part of your
note book That's what the blank was
made for. Git sumbody' to pass the
note to sumbody else, and you watch
them while they read it and then giglc.
If anybody talks or lat}s in the con-
grcgashun, and the preacher takes notis
OF 1t, that's good chance for you to gig
gle, and you ought to CYCLE great deal.
The preacher darsent say anything to
you bckaus you are in the quirc. If YOU
had bow before you went into the quirc,
give him the mitten-you ought to have
somebody better now.
Don't forget to gigle.
