A Stern Disciplinarian.

The father of Miss Maria Edgeworth,
the English novelist, had grim ideas of
moral training. A contributor to the
Chicago Standard relates the following
among other instances of his harsh dis
cipline: Charlotte Edgeworth, half-sis-
ter of Maria (the daughter of the famed
beauty, Honora Sneyd, the second of Mr..
Edgeworth's four wives). was a beau
tiful girl, with luxuriant golden hair.
The rector of the parish and an officer
of the British army were dining at
Edgeworth's town house. After din
ner the ladies repaired to the library,
and the gentlemen followed. AS they
entered the door of the library, the Off
Ger exclaimed: "How beautifulm Mr..
Edgeworth said, haughtily and quickly
What do you admire, sirPn He re-
piled; Your daughters magnificent
hair Charlotte was standing in a be-
coming attitude before the bright CRATE,
with her arms resting upon the mantel-
piece. Mr.. Edgeworth walked across
the room to the book-shelves, opened a
drawer, held her head back, and cut her
hair close to her head. As the golden
ringlets fell into the drawer, this extra
ordinary father said: "Charlotte, what
do you sayP" She answered: "Thank
you, father" Turning to his guests, he
remarked: A" / will not allow a dau gh-
ter of mine to be vain"

The Funny Small Boy.

The room it was hot,
And the room it was schools;
So the schoolmaster got
Fast asleep on his stool,
While the scholars were having irolic
Bereit of all reason and rule.
When ball, badly aimed,
Struck tho schoolmaster's nose,
Which was long and quite famed
For its terrible blows;
Then he scowled on those innocent scholars.
In woy he could scowl when he chose.
"Come hither, my child,
Thou art writing, see;"
And the schoolmaster smiled,
"Come, now, right on my knee
The up-strokes, you see, are made lightly,
The down-strokes are heavy and free"
While that small boy was tanned,
Came his laughter--a roar,
And the teacher, SO bland,
Was now vexed and he swore;
For the way that the awful boy giggled
Was something unheard OF before.
The teacher was beat
And deprived of his wind,
So he stood on his feet
That small boy, who just grinned,
And who shook with n mirth that was jolly,
And ielt OF his back which was skinned
Now tell me, my son,
Ere this rod employ
Once again for thy fun,
Why this wonderful joy?"
Such a Joke" cried the lad, wild with
laughter,
You're whipping-ha-ha- the wrong boy.

He got to Paris late at night,
So tired he couldn't stand.
He'd three valses by his side,
A guide book in his hand.
He singled out hackman from
The crowd. Said he, "My man,
Just drive me to the best hotel,
Je suis .fmericain."
The Jehu drove him to the Grand
By course circuitous,
And charged price which was-well, by
No means gratutous.
The stranger paid; then registered,
And to the clerk began
I want the best room in the house
Je Suis .fmericain."
They showed him up TO twenty-blank,
Upon the parlor floor;
Two candles on the mantlepiece,
A gilt plate on the floor;
But, ere he slept, he mused, and thus
His lucubrations ran:
Tomorrow I'll make Paris howl
Je suiS .americain."
And make it howl " he did, indeed.
From Concorde to Bastille,
From Madeleine to Luxembourg,
He raced, and at NIabille
Wound up the day. But, when q fair
Smiled from behind her fan
Soductivcly, "No, no" said he;

Next day he to the summit of
The Arc OF Triomphe hied.

a Frenchman at his side.
" This d? This is nothing" answered he;
'' Deny it if you can;
You ought to see our Brooklyn bridge

The walters jargon fairly drove
His appetite away.
'Coniound your dishes, cooked" said he,
" On the Partisan plan

Whcre'cr he went, whate'cr he did,
Twas always Just the same;
He couldn't, it appeared, forget
The country whence he came;
And when, once more Al home, his eyes
Familiar scenes did scan,
lie dotted his hat, and cried, Thank God,

What One Lemon VIII DO,

A piece of lemon upon corn will
relieve it in a day or so; it should be
renewed night and morning. The free
use of lemon-juice and sugar will always
relieve n cough. A lemon eaten before
breakfast every day for week or two
will entirely prevent the feeling of lassi-
tude peculiar to the approach of spring.
Perhaps its most valuable property is its
absolute power of detecting any of the
injurious and even dangerous ingredi-
ents entering into the composition of so
powders in the market. Every lady
should subject her toilet powder to this
test. Place teaspoonful of the sus-
pected powder in glass and add the
juice of lemon; if effervescence takes
place it is an infallible proof that the
powder is dangerous, and its use should
be avoided, as it will ultimately injure
the skin and destroy the beauty of the
complexion.

Lisle thread and silk gloves are intro
duced in great variety, in consequence
of the demand for them during the warm
summer months. Some pretty styles are
in open-work almost up to the elbow,
resembling the open-work stockings of
the day. The new silk gloves, with long
open worked wrists, are the novelty in
this class of goods and will be much
sought after during the reign of the
short 81 eve now so fashionable. These
silk gloves are shown in variety of
pIstty colors, and those in black are
very elegant for ladies in mourning.
They are o choice article and can only
be had from the leading glove houses as

WHY SHE is NOT HAPPY.


Ja1leu Oh ~ DkCoSAA -
Yesterday about noon there appeared
at Justice Phillips Office Miss MARY
Kemple. who shows to be on the
shady side of thirty, and swore out q
warrant for one John De Martin, work.
man at the South Side glass house,
charging him with having promised 10
marry her; also with fornication.
The case was called at eight o'clock,
p, NJ. at which hour both parties TO
the suit appeared before the court,
and during the progress OF the trial
Mary drew out from her pocket "wee
tinyh Smith & Wesson seven shooter'
which she pointed at John andgav him
understand that she wanted fair play
and that he must be good boy and
behave, or she would puncture his cor
pus with hot lead. John subsidized and
acted as suggested. by way OF paren-
thesis we would inform our readers that
Mary was fined S. and costs for trying
TO bull doze De Martin.) The savage
looking persuader was secured and the
trial went on, during which Mary told
the court that John had been going TO
see her "nigh onto two years and that
lie laQ pTOulScu W HAL hSit ces "
stead of keeping his promise, he had
been going to see Annie Joint, OF the
Eighth ward, and that on last Sunday
John and Annie had gone to West
Alexander for the avowed purpose OF get.
ting married, but that she, Mary, had
heard of the runaway, and had tele-
graphed to stop the. proceedings; also
that John and his would be seventeen
year old bride, finding that all was
not serene, returned to the city un-
married, and that they had made. ar
rangements yesterday to 60 over into
Ohio for the purpose of being married,
hence, the warrant. After hearing the
evidence in the case, the Court con-
cluded to hold De Martin, who is a
Frenchman, in the sum of 500 for his
appearance at the next term OF Court.
In default of the necessary bond, the
defendant was sent to Jail until such
time as he could give the required bail.
Miss Kemple is a resident of the First
ward and Miss Joint OF the Eighth.
Doubtless De Martin has learned that 1t
is not safe to have two sweethearts In
the same city, especially in one the size
of Wheeling.
