The Broken Graft.

The late DIR. Spencer said that, when
he was q lad, his father gave him o little
tree that had just been grated. One
day, in his fathers absence, he let the
colt into the garden, and the young ami
NAL broke off the graft. It was mended,
however, on the following day, and con-
tinued to grow finely. t*''s,' ~ '~s'*HSa
Years passed, and young Spencer be-
came a man. and minister. Some
time after he became pastor, he made
q visit to the old homestead where he
spent his boyhood. His little saping
had become large tree, and was loaded
with apples. FL - : -
,. During the night after his arrival at
the Homestead there was a violent
thunder-sbower, and the wind blew
fearfully. Be rose early in the morn
ing, and, on going out, found his tree
lying PROSTATE upon the ground. The
wind had twisted it off just where the
colt broke it when it was q saping.
Probably the storm would not have
broken it tall If it had not been broken
whenIit was small #ss ,s:ssa"z7 >zs*.. "a

Hn s. SnNOzn,, Her Hand.

An Ohio merchant tells the following
story about himself. Where he lives is
q secret, except that it is not a mile and
a half from the Xenia Court House:
"When I was about II years old
I made trip to Cleveland in the
old-fashioned stage coach, with its
spanking four horses. At Mount Yer
non, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
pretty girl came on board. She sat
on the back seat, next to an elderly
farmer-like looking man I was on the
middle sect Immediately in front of her.
I soon struck up pleasant chat with
her. She was a charming talker, and
almost as brilliant as she was pretty.
It looked as if we were mutually pleased.
When dark came I concluded there
would be no harm in giving her hand q
squeeze by way of q feeler. I reached
behind and got hold of the hand. I
was little startled at the hardness, but
it returned vise-like pressure. I
squozed again and it squoze back. A
sense of disappointment would steal
over me when in my mind T would con.
trast the seeming toughness of her hand
with the tenderness and sweetness OF
her voice. The contrast did not seem
to arterialize my blood quite up to the
point of exhilaration. At last she
reached her destination and left the
coach. After we had started again that
old rooster who sat beside her addressed
me thusly:
Young man, do you feel all right
You had nice time Juggling at my old
paw for the last five miles; hope you
enjoyed it, ;''<' /
"The two young ladies on the front
seat giggled all the way to the next sta
ton, and the gentlemen passengers
| didn't forget to smile when I looked up
I have been more successful since il
| that line." ,-/ ~

Importance Of q Letter.

Curious blunders have been made by
telegraph operators in changing words
of messages sent. But it wo1ld be hard
to find case parallel to the following,
related in Scrib7aer's, where the change
of single letter turned living into s
dead man. "Mr. Raymond, editor of
the New York Times, often visited the
army during the Rebellion, and was in
innate with many officers. He received
one daya telegram from Col. Swain,
which startled him :r:s Your brothers
corpse is at Belle PLANE. Come imme-
diately.' 1913, 49,. .......,.:.,..... ...
"He started early the next morning
for Washington, and, missing Col.
Swain there, pushed forward to Belle
Plaine, full Of sad thoughts that his
brother, who had been very sick, had
died SO suddenly. On the way he met
DR.. Dean, Of Albany, who was engaged
in embalming the dead bodies of SOL
diers, and made arrangements to have
his brother embalmed. a%ss5si .oala rs.. F.
. "Going to Gen.; Wadsworth's bead
quarters: to whose division his broth
er's brigade was attached, the General
kindly sent one Of his officers to inquire
into the circumstances Of his brothers
death. The officer soon returned, and
the brother with him. The telegraph
had Numbered by adding a letter. Col.
Swain had written, Your brothers
corps is at Belle Plaine.' The telegra.
pher made it corpse. The ,blunder was
pardoned, however, by both brothers,
on accounted the JOY Of meeting. ;,

:. W,l1nen. Of COrea.,

The women Of Corea have to remain in
the apartments set specially apart ter
their use, and those of the higher classes
are even more isolated here than in
China; little more liberty is allowed
them in the country, where q portion of
the labor in the fields falls to their
share, bat although they can move about
there somewhat more at their ease, they
are still much more restricted than the
female country population in China. In
cities and small township it is, however,
great ofTcnse against mod
esty and custom whenever a woman is
met on the public streets in the daytime,
and they quit their. apartments hardly
ever during the day. To Indemnify them
for this strictly kcpt-up seclusion, the
following remarkable arrangement has
been made: At9 o'clock in the evening
during the summer, and at an earlier
hour during the winter, the city gates Of
sSaoul and other towns are closed at 4
given signal. AS soon as this has taken
place all men are bound to leave the
streets, and these are abandoned to the
women for the purposes Of recreation and
pronenading. Any male finding himselt
by accident belated and behind the APP
pointed time in the streets is sure to hur-
,ry to his house IS fast as possible, with.
out looking upor regarding about him,
and severe punishment would fall upon
any person, daring, in the face Of the
stringent prohib ition. TO molest women
