FORT NECESSITY.

Fort Necessity was situated in what is
now Wharton, Pa Eleven miles east
by hack from Uniontown on the old Ma
tional pike, and you look down on the
right into a meadow with hills on every
side. Within this meadow was Fort
Necessity, whose site to-day is marked
by three small trees and cornerstone
Of proposed monument. This corner
stone was laid July 4, 1851, by the Free
masons. A small stream of water
courses through the meadow, and this
stream of water led Washington to place
his fort, or rather stockade, here, for it
really was not q fort. Many visitors
viewing the site criticise .Washington's
Judgment for placing his fort down in a
valley, between hills from which the
French and Indians could shoot down
into the fort. Had the fort been built
on one of the hills, they would have had
no water; SO we see Washington's iudg-
ment was not at fault
At a residence close by you can see
arrow-heads, balls, and great many
relics Of Fort Necessity carefully gath
cred, treasured and guarded BY the
owner.

ECONOMICAL.

Economy rules in Berlin. The houses
are not carpeted, and the furniture plain.
A family seems seldom to have more
than two servants In some houses: of
wealthy merchants, I have seen the din
ing-room furnished with bedsin curtained
alcoves, so contracted is the accomno-
daion. And in nearly all, some Of the
sitting rooms are turned into bedrooms.
as the first thing with German is to
have place in which to chat with his
friends, and after that, where to lay his
head. Economy extends even to the
table, and plain living is the rule.
Money seems to be spent readily on en-
tertainments in music and art, and for
social enjoyment; but not much on mere
luxury and display. This last idea is
certainly sensible one. Sid

MARRIED AND SETTLED.

Married and settled! Just look at the wife
Deep in her newly dedged duties;
Life ne'er before to her loving young heart
Seemed quite 80 full Of new beauties.
Brighter the blue skies than ever before
Greener the grass in the meadow
Sun giving light all the blessed day long,
Sun, and SO little Of shadow.
Hope has grown bright in her innocent soul.
Leaving no room for mere sadness;
Out at the window, and out at the door
Goes the sweet song of her gladness.
Married and settled, year and day,
Joyful as ever, Pm certain;
All! have you seen the new treasure Of love
There, take peep meath the curtain!
Turn back the coverlet, bordered with lace,
Look at the curves and tho dimples;
Baby's g the sweetest that ever was born!''
Pray, do you doubt 1t, ye simplest.
Happy young wife! how she listens to hear
(E'en while her cradle song humming)
Fo0tstepS whose echo is music to her?
Heralding forth his dear comingl
Married and settled NOT bartered for gold
Matedl not bound with tether
Hateful and irksome as chains tn slave,
But living and loving together! ..

A WORD FOB SOFT BEDS.

Why should soft beds be considered
unwholesome? Certainly they afford
more comfort than hard ones. Hard
beds should never be given to little
children, and parents who suppose that
such beds contribute to health by
hardening and developing the consttu-
ton are surely in error. Eminent
physicians-both here and in England
concur in this opinion, and state that
hard beds have often proved injurious
to the shape Of infants. Birds and ami
mails cover their offspring with the soft
est material they can obtain, and also
make soft beds for them why not do
the same with our own young?

wants to mend, and which I now longed
to snatch away from his mother. His
desk stood open, q letter to me which he
was writing lying on it.
The servant announced me as Mrs.
Andrews, my voice failing as I gave my
name, so that Mrs. Cartwright held up
her hands in establishment when she saw
who it was.
"My dear! Nelly! Has anything
happeneds How ill you look! What
is 1s?n she exclaimed.
II want my husband, J" I gasped, sink
ing on to chair, for I thought I should
have fallen. Without another word Mrs.
Cartwright left the room; feel sure now
she guessed all about it, and can nevs1
thank her enough for forbearing to wor-
ry me with questions as to what I had
come for.
In another minute I heard his step
outside the door and then he came in.
SHELLY, my love my darling! what
is it?' he CRED, as rushed into his out
stretched arms, and hid my face on his
breast, sobbing bitterly. For some mo.
ments could not speak; at last I reoov-
cred myself enough to sob out:
''Oh, Andrew, my love! my dear love
can you ever forgive mes came to ask
you, and to tell you I can't live without
you" I would have said more, but his
kisses stopped my mouth, and when at
length he let me go, there were other
tears upon my cheeks beside my own.
That was the happiest hour Of my life,
in spite OF my tears; and before my
mother-in.law again joined us, which
she discreetly avoided doing till dinner
time, had poured out all had to tell
into my husbands ear; and I had learned
from him that he had lett me to try what
effect his absence would have on me; for
he had felt for some time that my pride
was the great barrier he had to overcome
to win nv love. VS."
He had judged right. He was too
generous to tell how much be had suffer
ed from my Indifference, but I know it
must have grieved him terribly. BE is a
different man now, he looks so happy,
and I know he would not change places
with any one on earth. We went back
to the rectory the next day, but we could
not persuade Mrs. Cartwright to come
with US, for she said we were best alone,
and think she was right.

PREACHING IN TEXAS.

Texas preachers are said to be very &C.
centric, and their mild unnaturalness has
given rise to great many remarks and a
few stories. The following narrative was
told us cohfidentially by a slanderer
A minister arose before large aud
fence, took his text, and began preach
ing. A brisk firing of pistols began on
the outside of the church. 80 -'3i
Brother Deacon" said the minister,

situations at me. In fact, am very
nearly convinced" he continued, as
piece Of plaster fell from the wall close
to his head ,...... 49,.
IL think, parson, that it refers to some
one else,' replied the deacon. ,.r
The minister raised tumbler of water,
and was in the act of applying it to his
lips, when the glass fell, shattered by
shot.
'This is an innuendo no longer" said
tue minister, wiping the water from his
vest. .tTbis is what term an unmis-
taxable thrust. The congregation will

The whiting preacher handed over
large Remington pistol, which the in
suited preacher took, and, drawing one
from his belt, started out. After going
out, there was an immediate improve
ment in the firing business. It was de-
cidedly more ifelike, insomuch as the
deacons sat working their fingers. After
while the minister returned, and,
placing an ear and the nostrl and half

ID Germany in 1915. In 1910 he mar
RED. His wife lived eight years and
bore him seventeen children. She pre-
sented him with twins in the first year
Of their marriage. The next, year an
other pair of twins was born. Every

year was siggnalized by the birth of only
one child to the couple. Mr.. Hepner's
seventeen children-the oldest one z

months after Mrs. Hepner's death by a
young German Lady, who became the
second Mrs. Hepner. The first Mrs.
Hepner died in February, 1848. In
February, 1849, her successor presented
Mr.. Hepner with boy. On Christmas
day Of the same year the nineteenth
