Now you've got to get to work. I've just been sent. over here by one of the bosses to tell you so. Up here you won't have lubberly body that lyou must care for.'
 "'But,' said I, we have the same shape, as I see.'
 "'Yes,' said the being before me, up here you have a body and don't have one-you feel and are hurt, but not damaged. You know how it was down there on your little earth with a man who had lost leg, an arm, or had any part of him come on before his main hulk-you know about the feeling he had in thing that had departed from him?'
 "'Yes.'
 "'Yes? Well, you might have taken warning from that-might have guessed something as to what would presently be the con- dition of your whole body. That within you which never dies feel as keenly through the whole as through part. You are now all leg-all arm-all any part you will. But time flies and I must set you at work. Where are you from?
 From Virginia City, said I turning my head and looking off toward where little black star about ten feet in diamater was waltZing round the moon, with others still smaller whizzing round in varIous directions.

 "'Pray do not said I, for though Pm from the Comstock I never worked in the lower lev els.'
 "'What, then, do you feel like doing-what kind of a job would you like?'
 | "'Well, if there is vacancy I think I'd like the place of watch man on one of the moons of Ju- piter.'
 sYes, you'd like a nice cool place, eh?'
 cpd prefer such place to start in on.'
 "sWell. I'll fix you. I shall give you nice cool job down near your late home.'
 "'Thank you, sir
 "'Yes, I'll set you to work at your earth-at the North Pole. Nothing to do there but to chop the ice off the big gudgeon and keep it we'll greased. Come right along now, and get to work

4 Sad Picture.

On Friday evening, at the Taber-
nacle, Lawyer Slade drew IA picture
of his sufferings while in delirium trem-
ems, which made ones blood curdle.
The most eloquent tongues have
pictured thousand times the suffer
ings and sorrow of the drunkard's wife
and fiamily, and druukardS dreadful
death, but the pitiful story of SIade
was the most effective we ever heard.
The audience looked at the wreck of
humanity before them, the picture of
true repentance. High hopes and as
pirations gone, Il constitution wasted,
broken heart, and consciousness of
the approaching end, all embodied in
this poor unhappy man, whom whiskey
and the rum seller had escorted to the
door of eternal infamy and hell. He
had been snatched rs brand from the
burning, and bracing himself up, he
pleaded earnestly with all his soul,
with the true ring of deep desire and
sincerity-tha all should abstain from
the damning liquid. An unspoken
voice seemed to say: ''look at me-
man destined to be so great, fallen
so low-Oh want to warn you of the
danger of whisky" There was pew
er i'll his appeals; which every man
and woman in that large audience felt,
and as he drew a picture of his eXPe-
rience while in the Jim jams, it made
the stoutest heart beat with dread of
the monster in the cup. The first
time he had them, he saw snake in
his boot, he pulled off his boot and the
snake coilcd around his arm, entered a
vein and crawled to his heart and null
tiplied until there were thousands OF
snakes all over him. He pulled off
his clothes and thought he got rid of
them, but his agony while in this state
of mind was intense. He then pict-
ured the second time and third. He
thought he was sentenced to be killed
and thought he saw his body pulled to
pieces, frs, an arm was cut off, then Il
leg, then an ear, and so he was literal
ly taken to pieces, all the time suffer
ing as it were the real pain of those
cruel operations, and then standing by
to witness the decomposition of his
own body. He continued to paint
this dreadful picture for nearly an
hour, while the genuine sympathy of
the audience was manifested by min
gled tears, sighs and applause. Oh! if
there is all this misery in the wine cup,
no wonder men shun it as viper.

steps made by drunken mining com
rades.
Dense with the smoke of poor to-
bacco, scented with the strong fumes
of alcohol and heavily charged with
the sickening smell of unclean men and

St6BewaII JaeksOn's Flag.

At the flag room of the war de-
partment few days since, says the
Washington Post, three men called,
and one of them asked to see the
corps flag of Gen. Stonewall jackson.
1t was handed to him. In silence he
heldit for some time, then, on his
knees, he carefully spread it on the
foer, when one of his friends asked
him what he was doing. He answer
ed, tears streaming from his eyes {:
Cant the father look at the son, or
the son at his father? This flag my f;l-
ther held when he fell upon the battle
field this flag my brother held-he
too, died, also carried it p whereup-
on he raised his hands to heaven and
poured out Il most fervent prayer.
His friends had hard work to get him
to give up the flag, but when rolling
it up. Git was so worm small piece
fell out, the officer in charge picked up
the piece and gave it to the man and
he departed. 1t was a small act, yet
as the officer in charge was an cx-un-

and how one soldier can appreciate
the reverential love for bit of bun
ting showed by another, even when
fighting on opposite sides.

4 Hint TO Young Husbands.

Love and appreciation are to n wO-
man what dew and sunshine are to Il
bower. They refresh and brighten her
whole life. They make her strong
hearted and keen-sighted in everything
affecting the welfare Of her home. They
enable her to cheer her husband when
the cares of life press heavily upon
him, and to be Il very providence to
her children. To know that her hus.
band loves her, and is proud of her
that even her faults arc looked upon
with tenderness that her face, to one
Mt least, is the fairest in all the world
that the heart which is to her the
greatest and nOblest, holds her sacred
in its utmost recesses above all other
women, gives strength and courage
and sweetness, and vivacity, which all
the wealth of the world could not be
stow. Leta woman's life be pervaded
with such an influence, and her heart
will blossom and sweeten and brighter
into perpetual youth.

Humorous.
COurting All of Them.

81 don't want to make .ny troHble,
but there Is one man IN this city that
ought to be gibbeted p began n blunt
spoken woman of forty-five as she
stood before the officials of the Twen-
tieth Stress Station a day or two
ago.
When they inquired for particu-
lars she handed our a letter and said ::
Observe the e1iyeIope. That let
ter is addressed to me. You will see
that the writer cnIEs nss hi. JesssrnIne,
and he wants me to set &a early date
for The wedding.
When the captain had finished The
letter she was ready with another, ad-
ding:
And this is addressed to my daugh-
ter Lucrctia. You will see that he calls
her his rosy angel, and he says ne can't
live ifshe doesn't marry him. Its the
same man"
So it was, and his letter was as ten
der as a spring chicken. That finished,
she handed out a third, with the re
mark:
"This is directed to my daughter
Helen. It's the very same man, and
in it he calls her his pansy, and he says
he dreams Of her"
':'Why, he seemed to love the whole
family" remarked the captain.
"That's just it. Pm a widow with
two daughters, and he was courting us
all at once, and engaged to the three
at the same time. Oh! what wretches
there are in this world"
"Yes, indeed. It's lucky you found
him OUT
'Yes, it Is. If hadn't, he might
have married the whole caboodle of us.
If Lucretia hadn't opened one of my
letters, and if hadn't searched the
girls pockets while they were asleep,
we'd have thought him an innocent
lamb"
"And do you want him arrested ,"
"No, l guess not; but | want this
matter to go into the papers as a warn
ing to other women. just think of him
sitting up with me on Sunday night,
Lucrctia on Wednesday night, and
Helen ON Friday night, and calling
each one ofus his cIimbingrose! Oh sir,
the women ought to know what a de-
ceiving animal man is :"
''Yes he's pretty tough"
cit has learned me lesson" she
said, as she was ready to go. ''The
next man that comes sparkling around
my house has got to come right out
and say which he's after. If its the
girls, l wont say nothing if it's me, it
won't DOZEN a bit of good to slam things
around and twit me of burying two
husbands"

Night Life Of Young Men.

One night often destroys whole
life. The leakage of the night keeps
the day forever empty. Night is sins
harvest time. More sin and crime are
committed in one night than in all the
davs in the week. This Is more en-
phaticallY true of the city than of the
country. The street lamps, like file
of soldiers, with torch in hand, stretch
away in long lines on either sidewalk
the gay-cOlored transparencies are
ablaze with attractions the saloon and
billiard halls are brilliantly Illuminated;
music sends forth its enchantment the
gay company begin to gather to the
haunts and houses Of pleasure the
gambling dens are aflame with palatial
splendor the theaters are wide open
the mills of destruction are grinding
health, honor, happiness and hope out
ofthousands of lives. The allurements
and perils and pitfalls of night are
hundred fold deeper and darker and
more destructive. Night life in cur
cities is a dark problem, whose depth
add abysses and whirlpools make us
start back with horror. All night
long, tc,rrs are falling, and blood is
streaming.
Young men, tell me how and where
you spend your evenings, and ! will
write out the chart of your character
and final destiny, with blanks to inse t
your names. 1t seems an appropriate
text would be, "Watchman, what of
the night ?" Policeman, pacing the
beat, what of the night ? What are
the young men in the city doing at
night? Where do they spend their
evenings Who are their associates {?
What are their habits? Where do
they go in, and what time do you see
them come out Policemen, would
the night life ola young man commend
them to the confidence of their employ
ers and would it be to their cred
it?
Make a record of the nights of one
week. Put in the morning papers
the names of all the young men, their
habits and haunts, that are OH the
street for sinful pleasure.
Would there not be shame and cOu-
fusion Some would not dare to 90
their places of business some would
return home at night some would
leave the city ; some would commit
suicide. Remember, young men
that in the retina of the all-seeing Eye
there is nothing hid but shall be re
: vealed on the last day.
