She Decided to Stay Unmarried.

1t seems that a young man and
woman of Bucksport, Maine, were
not so much married as they
thought they were the other day.
They met and were each charmed
with the others qualities. A mu-
tual friendship sprang up, which in
few days ripened into love. 1t
was agreed that they should be
r,aerried. and, after brief lapse OF
time, they visited well known jus
tice of the peace in that town and
were married, or supposed that they
were. Two weeks passed on, and
the discovery was made by the sup
posed justice of the peace that his
term of office had expired prior to
the marriage ceremony, and that
the couple were not legally united.
The surprise of tho man and his af-
6~-~e9, wnen the state of the case
was told them, can hardly be imag
ined. They had lived together as
man and wife for two weeKs, and
the announcement of the fact that
they were not married created quite
a little sensation. But the sequel
is even stranger than what went be-
fore. The would be husband said
to his intended wife that they would
go and see some one who was really
a justice of the peace, and get le-
gally married. She said she be-
lieved she did not Gale to; that she
had had enough of married life for
the present; and, persisting in that
opinion, she left town next day for
Boston.

A Perfectly Awful lovely Story
Chicago Saturday Herald. ]

Chicago Saturday Herald
There was once perfectly modern girl,
With perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection in every Iything
That happened to meet her gaze.
Such perfectly lovely things she saw,
And perfectly awful, too,
That none would have dared to doubt her
word,
So perfectly, perfectly true.
The weather, she said. in summer time,
" as perfectly, awfully warm;
The winter was perfect, too. when there came
Some perfectly terrible storm.
She went to perfectly horrid school,
In perfectly horrid town;
And the perfectly hateful teachers there
Did things up perfectly brown.
Her lessons we've perfectly, fearfully long
Bnt never were perfectly said,
And when she failed, as often she did,
Her face grew perfectly red.
The church she attended is perfectly mag
With perfectly heavenly spire,
And perfect crowds go there to hear
A perfectly stunning choir.
The latest style is perfectly sweet
The last the perfectest out;
The books she reads are perfectly good,
Gust here we raise doubt.)
A ride she took was perfectly grand,
On perfectly gorgeous day,
With perfectly nobby friend of hers,
Who happened to pass that way.
The perfectly elegant falls she'd seen,
When on her way to the lake;
And the graphic description she gave US al
Was simply a modern mistake.
The perfectly splendid foam dashed up,
In perfectly killing style;
And the perfectly terrible waves came down
In perfectly lovely pile.
1 might go on with this perfectly" poem
And write to the end of time,
But fearing to wear your patience out
Will bring to an end my rhyme.

Self-Made.

The self-made man is generally
an independent, self reliant worker
who deserves all he gets. Not so
with the sybarite who depends
upon outside help. Many a parent
labors hard and lives sparingly all
his life for the purpose Of leaving
enough give his children a start
in the world as it is called. Setting
young man afoat with money left
him by his relatives, is like tying
bladders under the arms of one
who cannot swim; ten chances to
one he will lose his bladder and go
to the bottom Teach him TO swim
and he will never need bladders.-
Give your child sound education
and you have done enough for him.
See to it that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated, and his whole
nature made subservient TO the
laws which govern man, and you
have given him what will be of
more value than the wealth of the
Indies.

The LAGRANGE Reporter has seen
John A. Adams, aged 20, recently
before the Medical convention in
Atlanta. He is defoimed in doz-
en- different ways. There is no
meat whatever on his limbs. He is
a living skeleton. His hands and
feet appear to have been wrenched
in some cog wheel and left to heal
by themselves. His muscles are
useless, except the ones in his neck
and left wrist. He sits upon his
right hip, and his left is exactly
perpendicular TO it. His breast
bone rests upon his left hip; he
has four ribs on his left side, and
fifteen on his right; his spine is in
the shape of a shepherds crook /;
his heart is on his right side, his
lungs are twice as large as those of
an ordinary man; if thrown into
the water he would float, because
of the superior size of his lungs;
his limbs are all twisted into a doz-
en- shapes. With all of his deform-
tiles, he has a strong and sprightly
mind; is good singer, fine reader,
fair writer and agreeable talker; is
in perfect health and has never TAX
en- any stimulants and comparative

is lifted about by his breastbone

Public Education.

Brooklyn Eagle: The object OF
the school system seems 60 US 10 be
quite clear TO anybody who will
take the trouble TO look at il. The
State insists upon the education of
its children, because Its very exist
ence depends upon the intelligence
of the people. Its purpose, there
fore, is TO educate them as TO insure
their becoming, at maturity, sufli-
ciently intelligent TO understand the
conditions OF self government and
to take their part in framing the
necessary laws for the support Of the
Government. 1t can not, then,
Justly eXpend one dollar upon any
additional instruction which after
this limit becomes an accomplish
ment. The foundation OF this Gov
ernment can not be said 10 rest
upon the dexterity Of the pianist,
the culture Of musician, or the ia
cility Of an artist. An ability TO
read and write, TO understand the
language, the history, the geogra-
ply and political system of his own
country and its relations TO the
world-knowledge enough TO make
him an intelligent citlzen-is all
that the State has any right TO con
fer upon its attendant at the public
schools. Anything beyond that
the parents or guardians Of the pu-
pills must provide at their own dis
cretion and expense. Unfortunate
IL the gentlemen who conduct our
public schools seem TO be complete

raised the standards of education
beyond the limit TO which the State
ought TO go, and have acted as

To Make a Place Prosperous.

Country Gentleman: There can
hardly be a greater sign of prosper
ity in a community than a disposi-
ton 10 assist one another-lift a lit
tie when a neighbor's wheel gets
stuck in the mud. We know of a
place where a mans barn with all
its winter stores of grain and hay
was consumed by fire in the night.
Immediately all the country mus
tered and hauled up timber for a
new barn, and then a big raising
came of. After that the sound OF
twenty hammers was heard until the
whole was shingled and sided. But

that some time since a professor in
one Of our colleges, after suffering
some days with neuralgia in the
head, which he himself had tried TO
cure, sent for the former, who pre-
scribed a hot hat-iron. The next
time the doctor saw the professor
the latter exclaimed, "I had no
sooner applied the heated iron TO my
head than instantly all pain had
vanished" My physician was SUM

woman who had neuralgia in both

alarmed the whole neighborhood by
the screams which. her intolerable

CHOLERA.
ITO People Living in Perfect Clean
liness It Has no -Terrors"-
Prepare for It.
A warning Applicable to Pulaski.

The report of the outbreak of
cholera in Calcutta a week ago was
confirmed in our dispatches of
Monday. 1t is an undoubted fact,
and when we consider that this is
its usual starting point, whence it
ravages the western world, we may
expect a visitation at no distant
day. Its speed of approach is con-
trolled by the facilities of human
travel. Some years ago, before the
world had been bound by iron
bands and the car swiftly whirled
along over plain and mountain, it's
approach was slow, generally taking
United States But it takes advan-
tage of the same means of locomo
ton that is enjoyed by man, and
consequently Its arrival in the Uni
ted States may be set down at an
early day, unless it is checked by a
rigid enforcement of quarantine.
Hitherto this fearful scourge has
defied the quarantines of nations
and passed over them as easily as if
there were none in existence. Nor
has a military Gordon been able to
check it. But there is one way to
rob it of it's terrors, and that is,
clean up. Put the city in good san
itary condition, and its virulence
and malignity will be destroyed.
To people living in perfect clean
illness it has no terrors. Only when
the system is so oppressed by poi
sonous exhalations, and the vital
powers so reduced beyond the pow
ers of resistance, is its malignity
felt. Cholera per Sc is as easily
managed, taken IN time, as a case
of intermittent fever. But under
the above conditions, it is as quick
in its deathly outset as the tiger In
the jungles. Let the people then
prefare for it. Do not trust the
matter to the scavenger force of the
city, but let every household use
every precaution to keep their
premises clean. Permit no refuse
from the kitchen, or garbage, to &C
cumulate. Have the water closets
frequently cleansed and purified. If
every family in Nashville will do
their full duty in this regard, we
may be able to see it without fear,
We all remember its terrors in past
years and know it's causes. The
two fanks of Nashville were the
main ones to suffer then, because OF
the filth around those sloughs. But
we can, and ought to, get ready
and now is the time while the enemy
is yet far Distant Banner.

and the train he viii take an
nounced in the village paper, and at
the appointed time he goes rattling
down to the depot in an open car
riage two hours before train time,
and swaggers up and down the plat
form while he waits, and as the
train goes of he leans out of the
window and yells personal good
bye to everybody on the platform.
But when he comes back he times
his return so as to strike his native
town by a back road after dark,
then sneaks home through the al

taps at the kitchen window and
begs, under his breath, to be let in,
and when he gets in he stays in bed
three or four days, while his new
clothes are being made and the doc
tor is trying to count the blisters
on his feet. Oh, it's easy to ex-
plain why we never see them come
back; but they do come back all
the same.-T HawkeVe.
