The collars Of coats become soilcd very
quickly from contact with the hair, but
chloroform will clean them very well with

made by grating potatoes into a little water
and letting it settle, then pouring it off and
rubbing it on with sponge, will also take
off the grease and spots.

REVERIE.
BY FATHER RYAN.

Only few more years,
Weary years.
Only a few more tears,
Bitter tears;
And then--and then, like other men,
/ cease to wandcr-ceaso TO weep;
Dim shadows Fer my way shall creep,
And out of the Day, and into the Night.
And into the Dark and out Of the Bright,
/ go-and Death shall veil my face.
And the feet Of years shall fast cfiace
My very name, and every trace
i leave on earth, for then stern years tread,
And then and then like other men,
close my eyes and go to sleep!
All . mo, the grave is dark and deep
Alas alas
How soon we pass
And, oh we go
So far away
When 90 we must,
From the light of Life and the heat Of strife
To the peace of Earth, and the cold still dust.
We go, we 90, and may not stay,
We travel far the long, dark drcary way,
Out of Day and into Night,
Into the Darkness, out of the Bright,
And then-and then, like ether men,
We close our eyes and go to sleep.
ALI ! me, the grave is loac and deep
I saw flower at morn SO fair;
L passed at eyo---it was not there
Isaw n sunbeam, golden bright,
| saw n cloud that sunbeam shroud;
And saw Night
Digging the grave of Day,
And sadly, slowly, laid it down;
And Day at morn the suns fair bride,
And Twilight bent her brow and died.
And SO, alas like Day, we pass
At morn we laugh,
At eve we weep;

But Andrew Gordon was not to be
checred even by the tender carcsses of his
wife. His mind would dwell upon themes,
tho contemplation of which was destroying
his peace of mind, and fast changing his
very nature.
L tell you Amy" he said rising and
pacing the apartment with hurried step,
II tell you, Amy, will be rich and Fred
crick shall be as rich, ago, richer, than if
his father had not been cheated out of his
inheritancc. They think" he added, with
flashing eye, that they have tramplcd me

there. will be rich and influential and
as soon as Fred is old enough to learn the
lesson, will teach him how to make mon
cy, and how to keep it, too"
mo, no, Anlrew-spare me that last
blow, implorc you," said Amy, and tears
were rapidly chasing each other down her
pale checks. "lf you will give up your
whole mind and soul to the pursuit of
wealth, as you have done tor the last two
yearss~if you will coin your very hearts
blood for gold, and allow this fevcrish thirst
for gain to become, as it were, the very
essence ofyour being, spare me this las blow.
Teach not this lesson to our child. Teach
him to be prudent, Industrious, economical
as you will, and my example and teachings
shall be added to your own; but impress
not upon his young mind the doctrine that
tho acquisition of wealth is the chief end of
his existence, and its possession the chief
source of mans enjoyment Just as surely
as you do is misery in store for him. A
mothers heart is prophetic heart, and l
repeat it-just as surely as you do, is misery
in store for him and you; just as surely will
his sunand yours set in darkness and in
gloom. Oh, Andrew, Andrew for your own
sake-for my sake-lor the sake of these
precious ones she added, drawing him to the
couch where their children lay" cease this
struggle that is wearing your life away, and
changing you so greatly, that at times
can scarcely recognize the Andrew Gordon
of my early love-"
The fire upon the hearth had burned
low ; but, at that moment, broad, ruddy
glow filed the room, and Andrew Gordon
stood with his eyes fixed stedfastly upon
his wife's face. Who can tell the emotions
that swept over his soul during those few,
brief moments! Good and evil spirits were
striving for the mastery upon the arena of
his hoart, and his countenance worked
strantiely rs one or the other Prevailed
At last, he turned hastily away, and NUT

must be rich man." he sought his pillow

The Wesleyan Entertainment. /.

The scholars of the Wesleyan COLLEGE
held the first of their winter series o
really enjoyable weekly entertainments
on Saturday evening last. The audience
though not large was of the apprecia
tive kind and consequently the exercises
were not only enjoyable to the auditors
but were highly gratifying to the lady
participants and their preceptors. The
programme opened with an instrumen.
tai solo by Miss Anna Robinson followed
by a select reading by Prof. Williams
Miss Mollie Caldwell acceptibly render.
ed an interesting recitation. She was
followed by Miss Ella Mccullough who
very appropriately sandwiched the pro
ceedings with a fine vocal solo. Miss
Hattie Belt, edirress, then read the
Wesleyana in which was hotch- -potched
a most interesting melange of college
facts, outside fanoies and scintillating
bits of humor that made the paper
spicy and deeply interesting. Misses
Mary Magee and Miss Annie Russell
gave the scientific questions which
were well received. The exercises
closed with q well rendered instrumen-
tai solo by Miss c. J. Pearce. The
President then stated that on Saturday
evening next there would be a lecture
instead of the literary exercises, to
which all friends of the college are in
vited.

Connecticut Election.

Connecticut will hold town elections
to day, and will also vote upon two
amendments TO the State Cons titu-
tion. submitted by the Legislature to
the people. One of these amendments
provides for biennial sessions of the
Legislature. The other provides that
Judges of the Supreme or Superior
Courts shall hold office during good be-
havior, but may be removed by i'm
peachment or by the Governor on the
request of two-thirds Of each House of
the General Assembly, also that no
Judge shall be capable of holding ofice
after he shall arrive at the age of rs
years. Both these amendments are op-
posed by the politicians generally, Re-
publican and Democratic.

AerOnaut Killed.

"Professor" Colgrove, aeronaut, &C.
companied by c. H. Williams, manager
Of the Woodward Gardens, in San Fran
cisco, made balloon ascension from the
Gardens yesterday afternoon during q
gale, and were killed. 1t is said the
balloon was old and patched and seemed
to be insuficiently inflated. 1t rose
heavily above the gardens, then dropped
to low elevation and scudded along,
tearing away the telegraph wires.
Suddenly the gas escaped from the bag
with loud noise, and the two men fell
upon the street, while the balloon drop
ped few rods beyond. Williams died
of his injuries in few moments, Col
grove in few hours.

Ancient Order OF Hibern1ans-Or-
EanizatiOn OF . New DivistOn-A
Growing society.

About five years ago the first division
Of Ancient Order Of Hibernians in this
city was organized but for various rea-
sons the division after its organization
remained in 'statu quo' and did not
make any progress whatever until
about year since when new life SEEM
ed to be suddenly infused to the new
order and since that time it has been
rapidly growing. The object of the So
ciety is mutual benefit to the members,
and promotion of brotherly feeling
among men of one faith and nationality.
AT the last session of the Legislature
a charter was procured by Division No.
l, numbering then about $50 members,
with power to create and organize new
divisions throughout the State, and al
ready division No. 2 has reared its
head and from present indications di-
vision No. 8 is looming up in the near
future. Division No. was organized
last week on the Banks of the Brandy
wine, the new officers being installed
by State Delegate John McGovern and
County Delegate John Barden, assisted
by the officers of Division No. /. There
are already about thirty-fve names on
the roll book of the new division, and
the following are the officers installed :
President-Hugh Foster.
Vice President-Patrick Tolan.
Recording Secretary-Michael Ma
loney.
Financial Secretary-Thos Hanley.
Treasurer-John Kane.
On Saturday evening last the new
division paid No. l a friendly visit and
a pleasant evening vas spent, speech
es, singing and refreshments occupy.
ing couple of social hours. The A.
0. H. are particular as to who become
members, good moral character and
sound reputation being among the
requisites for eligibility, and as con-
sequence. some of the best citizens o.
celtic origin are connected with, and
earnest workers in its ranks.

Uncle TOMS Cabin.

On Saturday afternoon and evening
large audiences gathered to witness a
new version of the play of ''Uncle Tom s
Cabin" As a new version it was prob
ably q success, but if intended as an
improvement over the old it was deci-
ded failure. Mrs. G. G.. Howard as
"Topsy" was very good, while the act
ing of Mr.. Cool White as "Uncle Tom"
was passable. Carrie Hall as "Eva"
could not have been improved upon.
Aside from these characters the support
was Indifferent and in some cases very
bad. Among the more acceptable of
these characters may be mentioned Will
Henderson as MARKS, the lawyer, "and
L. Whitman as "Simon Legree." the
slave owner. As the pathetic scenes
occurred when a decent respectable au-
dience is supposed TO be moved to tears,
the appreciative denizens Of the gallery
would 90 off into hilarious roars of
laughter which were not only annoy
ing to the performers, but destroyed
that fine effect whicn the few masterly
presentations that were produced should
have had upon the audience. The
apotheosis of "Eva" in Heaven was
doubtless intended to have been bril-
liant, possibly it was brilliant in so far
as super-abundance of red light was
concerned, but the idea of little "Eva"
gliding Unfortunately around the en-
of Heaven and getting on
her knees and walking over the zig
Jagged top of whitewashed fence
isn't exactly heavenly, far from ii. If
there had been less light in front pessi-
bly, the Effectiveness or the apotheosis
would not have been so glaring. The
most enjoyable part of the whole per-
formance was the singing Of the Vir-
ginias( colored) quartette. Their voices
blended aptly, and the effect was in
deed harmonious.

Pension secured.

Some four years ago Charles Schultz,
of the Tenth Ward, made application
for pension, and on last Saturday he
received $500, the amount allowed,
with a notification that hereafter he
will receive 81 per month. Mr.. Schultz
served in the navy, and has been a
sufferer from neuralgia. This aid from
the Government will render him quite
comfortable if judiciously invested.
