pie make allowance for the delusion of
age. The old man who marries young
wife honestly thinks that he will be a
fond and devoted husband, and that she
will be faithful wife They both agree
that this is possible for them. And if she
is dazzled by his high political and So

great reverence will be the guardian of
their conjugal love. But even great men

Bet His Hand.

The Franklin (Mass.) Register tells this
little story: A few evenings since a
party was given at the house of one of
our prominent citizens. One of the guests
was most charming and accomplished

hood two years; another was gentleman
but recently come to our tOWn-a native
of Hartford, Conn. The amusements of
the evening were varied and thoroughly
enjoyable; but the chief attraction proved
BIZ delightful event to be the game of
bassino. Several had tried their skill at
the board, with varied fortunes, when the
gentleman and the lady referred tc ap-
preached the table, and the gentleman
suggested to his partner that they should
try their skill at the pins. The challenge
was accepted, and the lady proposed that
they play for wager. The gentleman
gallantly assented, and asked her to name
the stake. Seeing her confusion the host
joklngly said:
His hand against yoursI'
The lady demurred and was turning to
leave the table, when the gentleman,
after moments thought, said:
'My hand for yours, if win, or at
your disposal for any young lady of re-
spectabilitY Cher consent being first OBJ

A proposition so gallant the lady could
not resist, for the gentleman was prize
whoever might win him. Excitement
now ran h1gh-all other amusements be-
ing suspended as the company gathered
around the bassino board. The lady was
reputed skilful with the mace, but the
gentleman knew nothing about the game,
vet possessed an admirable GOODNESS,
which was almost an offset for inexper-
fence. The lady led off, getting "king

And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walkest on the foaming deep,
And calm amid the storm did sleep.

LESSON OF THE PAPER MILL.

Once Queen-SO runs my story
Seeking far for some thing new,
Found it in mill, where strangely,
Naught but rags repaid her view.
Rags from out the very cutters,
Rags of every shape and hue;
While the squalid children picking,
Seemed but rags from hair to shoe.
what them" rang her eager question,
Can you do with things so vile:"
Mould them into perfect whiteness,"
Said the master with smile.
'Whiteness," quoth the Queen, half doubt
"But these reddest crimson dyes,
Surely naught can never whiten
These to fitness in your eyes,"
YES" said he, though these are colors
Hardest to remove of all
Still have the power to make them
Like the snowflake in its fall"
Through my heart the words so simple,
Throbbed with echo, in and out;
Crimson, scarlet, White as snowhakes!
Can this mainland can God not?-)
Now upon day thereafter,
Thus the tale went on at will
To the Queen there came a present
From the master at the mill.
Fold on fold of fairest texture,
Lay the paper purest white;
On each sheet there CLEANED the letters
OF her name in golden light.
"Precious lesson" wrote the master,
Hath my mill thus given me.
Showing how our Christ can gather
Vilest hearts from land or sea.
In some heavenly Alembic,
Snowy white from crimson bring;
Stamp His name on each and bear them
To the palace of the King"

And music of the SHOWS.
In the restless wood birds simple song
From thrush to whip-poor-wiu-
His presence is apparent
AS city on hill.
The fragrance of each beauteous flower
La but His scented speech,
And the glory OF His eloquence
Far into my soul doth reach.
The light of sun and twinkling stars
Are embodiments of His smile.
And oh, how oft upward gaze
And worship all the whilel
Closer, closer still, follow Him:
His language understand;
Through every Joy, and sorrow too,
He's with me hand in hand.
And when His mandate summons me
To Cross deaths darksome tide,
May interpret the summons thus:
Nestle closer to His side."

EASTER FLO WERS.

Bring flowers, bright flowers,
On the glad Easter morn;
The chancel and altar
With their beauty adorn!
Their fragrance ascending
All the temple shall fill,
Like cloudlets of incense
Floating softly and still.
The lily of Egypt
With its pure regal spathe,
And rosebuds and pansies,
Shall we strew DER the path
Where footsteps of Jesus,
Coming forth from the tomb,
Shall mid their fresh cleaning
Rob the grave of its gloom.
The Earth in her bosom
Her Creator once took;
And thrill of great joy
All her strong pillars shook.
So ever at Easter
In grateful remembrance,
She offers fair flowers
OF new life the semblance.
And as the sweet blossoms
From all climates are cuued,
May Earth and her nations,
Their transgresslons annulled,
All Join in the anthem
To the Saviour arisen,
Whose echoes shall enter
Heavens portals Elysian!

MAIDENHOOD.

WHAT happy star shone on her BIRTH
What grassy corner of the earth
Grew daisies for her baby feet
To dance between. since they repeat,
On all the fowerless ways they pass,
That breezy motion OF the grassl
What brook bewitched her to its brink,
And drew her fresh lips down to drink
Its music, while it slipped unseen
Its happy cadences betweenY
SO sweet and glad the voice that slips
From ambush Of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hills gave room
To her, and buffeted to bloom
Her rounded cheeks, and made her hair
A flying sunshine in the airy
For still, like sungleams on rose,
Her wayward color comes and goes.
What gray-beard tree upon the down
Caught, as she sped, her floating gown,
And whispered through his ancient girth
The long dumb sorrow of the earthg
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladness overlies.

Pins and Whisky.

Mr.. Cough, in one of his addresses,
spoke of some things that save life by
not being swallowed
They tell us that alcohol gives
strength and nourishment. No, itdoes
not; it gives stimulus. You sit down
on hornets nest, and it may be quick
ening, but is not nourishing.
A man once said to a friend of
mine: You are fighting whisky.
Whisky has done good deal of good
Whisky has saved great many lives"
What do you mean ?" said he.
"Why, whisky has saved great
many lives"
You remind me-" said my friend,
"of boy who was told to write an es-
say about pin, and, in his boyish way,
he said, A pin is very queer sort of
thing. 1t has a round head and a
sharp point, and if you stick them into
you, they hurt, and women use them
for cuffs and collars, and men use them
when their buttons are off. If you
swallow them, they kill you. For 5
cents you get q packet of them, and
they have saved thousands of lives
"The teacher said: What on earth
do you mean? How have they saved
thousands of ives?'
"By people not swallowing them,
answered the boy"

One Of the many stories current about Mrs.
Minnie Fitch Sherman'S diamonds sent her as
wedding gift by the Khedive, sets forth that
the Jewels were once sent back by Gen. Sper-
man to their donor. This, General Sherman
says, is incorrect. From the time the necklace
was released from the New York custom house
until october, 1875 it was IN the United States
Treasury here, subject to his order. At the time
mentioned he took the necklace to New York
to be made into four sets, one for each

cost little over $500. Mrs. Fitch now has her
set, which is somewhat the handsomest of the

The vote in the House Thursday upon the

tative Kenna, of West Virginia, in conversation

favor of tariff revision as any member who
voted against it. The tariff question was not at
issue. I know an attempt has been made to
make it appear that it was tariff question, but
that is not correct, II was simply and solely
as to whether or not the rules should be en-
forced, and I, with other democrats who be-
leve In tariff revision, voted to enforce them
believe that on fair square test majority Of
the House would vote to-day to revise the tariff
and condemn the smothertng of bills in COM
mittee az, much as any man. But we must en-
force the rules. We can't pass bills to reduce
the tariff on certain articles, but am confident
we could pass bill to reduce 1t upon ALTO re.
