trouble Of lighting candle. SO she
loosed his collar, drew Off his boots, and
placed n stick OF wood under his head,
and inserted a piece OF soapln his mouth
as hint to him TO stop snoring. Hav-
Ing thus made him comfortable for the
night, she was about TO prepare herself
for bed, when the front door was opened
with q latch-key, and man sprang
hastily up stairs and rushed into the
room. Mrs. Davis being woman OF
much presence Of mind, screamed out
" fire !" and hastily lit the candle, so
that she could see how to begin opera
tlons with the club on the supposed
burglar. TO her unspeakable horror the
newcomer was her husband In o state
OF complete sobrlety. He had not been
so hopelessly and aggresslvely sober In
ten years and as he looked at the drunk
ard on the sofa, recognizing him as q
certain dlssolute nelghbor, and then In
sepulchral tones said, Mary Is this
my reward for signing the pledge Y''--
Mrs. Davis felt that her cup was full.
In the darkness of the night, and trust
ing implicitly to the habltual drunken
ness OF her husband, she had lnnocently
taken the wrong drunkard to her room,
and betrayed her confidence by actually
venturing to come home sober at the
most inopportune moment possible.
The probability is that the poor wom-
an will be sent home In disgrace to her
mother. Mr.. Davis assumes to regard
himself In the light of a betrayed and
wronged husband, and refuses to accept
Mrs. Davis's explanation. She now
feels that the crowning cruelty of his
life was unexpected sobrlety. That af-
ter all the years of his constant drunk
enness, he should suddenly and without
any warning come home sober, was in
deed refinement of cruelty of which
only the most hardened of men could be
guilty.

Nursing the Wrong Man.

THE New York Times tells this
Il story The drunkard in question,
Mr.. Alonzo b. Davis, has been In active
exercise of his profession for nearly ten
years and is universally acknowledged
us the most energetic and accomplished
drunkard in Potts county Ind. He has
been in the constant habit of returning
to his home, at about midnight, in an
advanced state of intoxication for sew
eral years, and during the seventeen
months preceding the 4th of January,
1880, he never lost a night by sobriety.-
Mrs. Davis is most estimable and ami
able woman, and in spite of her hus-
bands disgraceful condition, has steadily
clung to him. Night after night has she
set up for the degraded man in order to
help him up stairs and take off his
boots. With the self-respect of true
woman, she has never allowed him to
treat her with violence, but has always
knocked him down with basel ball club
whenever he showed symptoms of mus
cular brutality. A more tender, long
suffering and devoted wife a man never
had, and yet Mr.. Davis requited her
kindness by continuing to live when
there were river, railroad, three buzz
saws, and any quantity of kerosene in
the town, with the aid of which he
might at any moment have had fatal
and bene ficient accident
On the night of the 4th of January,
Mrs. Davis was as usual, sitting up in
her bedroom, and waiting for her
wretched husband. 1t was nearly II
o'clock. The night was cold and the
candle was almost burned out. In the
corner stood the baseball club, ready to
be used in case of necessity, and on the
mantlepiece the eightday clock drowsily
ticked away the waning hours. Tired
Mrs. Davis herself grew drowsy, and
when loud ring at the front door-bell
aroused her she found that she had fall
en- asleep and that the candle had gone
out.
Without waiting to light another can
die, the faithful wife felt her way down
stairs, opened the door and admitted the
drunkard. He was even more drunk
than usual, for he could not articulate a
single word. Mrs. Davis had immense
difficulty in assisting him up stairs, for
he insisted upon sitting down on every
separate step and falling asleep. There
were twenty-five steps in all, and it took
three. quarters of an hour to get him up
to the top of the stairs, down which he
promptly fell again. Nothing however,
can exhaust the patience of a good WON.
an, and about 1890 Mrs. Davis succeeded
in bringing her charge into the bedroom
and placed him on the sofa, where he
instantly and permanently went tC
sleep.
In the circumstances, she resolved ts

The Old. Fashioned Girl.

CHE hourished thirty or forty years
y ago. She was a little girl until she
was 10. She used TO help her mother to
wash the dishes and keep the kitchen
tidy, and she had an ambition to make
pies so nicely that papa could tell the
difference between them and mammals;
and yet she could fry griddle-cakes at 10
years of age, and darn her own stock
ings before she was IL, to say nothing of
knitting them herself
She had her hours of play, and enjoy
ed herself to the fullest extent. She had
no very costly toys to be sure, but her
rag doll and little bureau and chair that
Uncle Tom made were just as valuable
to her as the $40 wax doll and elegant
doll furniture the children have nova
days.
She never says " 1 can't " or 81
don't want to-" TO her. mother, when
asked to leave her play and run up stairs
or down on an eTrand, because she had
not been brought up in that way. Obe-
dience was cardinal virtue in the old
fashioned little girl.
She rose in the morning when she was
called, and went Outinto the garden and
saw the dew on the grass, and If she
lived in the country she fed the chickens
and hunted up the eggs for breakfast.
We do not suppose she had her hair in
eurl-papers, or crimping pins, or had it
banged over her forehead, and her
founces were no trouble to her.
She learned how to sew by making
patchwork, and we dare say she could
do an " over.and-over seam as well as
nine-tenths of the grown-up women
nowadays.
The old.fashioned girl did not grow
into young lady and talk about beaux
before she was in her teens, and she did
not read dime novels, and was not fan
cying hero in every plowboy she met.
She learned the stolid accomplish
ments as she grew up. She was taught
the art of cooking and housekeeping
When she got husband she knew how
to cook him dinner.
She was not learned in French verbs,
or Latin declensions, and her near
neighbors were spared the agony of hear
ing her pound out THE Maiden's Pray
er'' and "Silver Threads among the
Gold" twenty times day ON the piano,
but we make no doubt she made her
family quite as comfortable as the mod
ern young lady does hers.
1t may be o vulgar assertion, and we
suppose that we are not exactly up with
the times, bot we honestly believe, and
our opinion is based upon considerable
experience, and no small observation,
that when it comes to keeping family
happy, good cook and housekeeper Is
to be greatly preferred above an accom-
| plished scholar. When both sets of
qualities are found together, as they
sometimes are, then is the household
over which such woman has control
blessed.
