She Sewed on His Buttons.

Old Blummer is tight listed. Several
days ago he said to his wife:
Maria, I want you to look over that
broadcleth vest of mine and put new
buttons On it, cause I'm going to card
party tonight"
"But Ely, answered Mrs. Blummer,
II haven't any buttons to match that
vest, and" ...-.-.

as you have ana pretending to be out Of

ask me for money to buy 'em with next
That evening Blummer hurried
through his supper and began arraying
himself for the card party. Presently
he called fer the brcadcloth vest, and
Mrs. Blummer, with marvellous prompti-
tude, handed 1t to him. He took it,
hastily unfolded it, and then, as his eve
took In its complete appearance, he stood
as one transfxed.
1t was six-buttOn vest, and there
were SIX buttons on it, and the dazed
optic OF Mr.. Blummer observed that the
first, or top one, was tiny shirt button,
and the next was brass army-overcoat
button with U. s. cleaning upon it, and
that number three was an oxydlzed sill
yer affair, and that number four was a
horn button evidently from the back of
one of the Puritan fathers coats, and
then came a suspender button, and
then, as the dazzled e==s,s of old Blum
mer reached the bottom button--a poker
chip, (found in Blummer's pocket.) with
two holes punched through it--he gave a
snort that made the chandelier jingle.
There is, alter all, fine sense of humor
about Blummer, and he laughed, till he
cried. And there won't be any button

after. Cleveland Herald. sst1s s. - isSf

at him. With swift circle of his axe,
he fairly split the brute's head in twain.
Another wolf quickly followed, and the
invincible axe crushed in his skull. The
next wolf wavered, and seemed inclined
to back out; but Jimmy's blood was up,
and with a quick spring ne aeve.ed a
sidelong blow that broke the brute's
back, and with fearful howls and writh-

Difference to the feelings OF others has
ceased to be considered mark OF insin-
cerity. A person who is habitually DIS
courteous, generally possesses but little
sensibility, and he cares nothing about
wounding the feelings of others, excus-
ing himself by saying that he only
speaks what he thinks. No man is
bound by. any law to speak what he
thinks; that is. to put forth his own pri-
vate opinion, whatever it may be, no
matter whether it wounds the feelings of
his dearest friend. OF course, if per-
sons opinion is requested, he must tell
the truth; but even that can be done in
courteous language which will wound
no one. If courtesy were more gencr-
ally practiced, it would be conducive of
the best results. Mutual civility among
all classes of society would be found
patent remedy for more than half the
social evils that now oppress US.

A Fifteen Minutes Courtship

About two years since Sister Mary
Funk, young lady of most respectable
pareD.age and q devOut Catholic, came
to This city from Frankfort, and was ad-
mitted to the convent at the corner of
Chestnut and Shelby streets, and was af-
ter this sub teacher in the school at the
corner of Webster and Washington
streets. Some time after this there came
a request for the services of a sub teacher
in the convent in Jacksonville, and Miss
Funk, still under the direction of the
prioress, accepted the situation and per-
formed her work well and faithfully.
. During all the time that she was con-
nected with the convent here as lay Sis
ter, those who associated with her now
speak of her as a true woman, In the
st1ictest sense of The word. She never
complained, went straightforward in the
performance of the duties that were as
signed to her, and at times seemed per-
fectly satisfied with her life, and like the
other members of the noble sisterhood,
she was always ready to sacrifice her
own happiness and comfort, and if
necessary her life, in order to alleviate
the sufferings of those who we're in dis
tress.
After some time, and for what, no one
knows, Miss Funk became dissatisfied
with her life and concluded to marry.
The more she studied about the charms
of double Dlessedness the more she was
convinced that she wanted to marry. As
no one knows the secrets of the human
heart, It is only just to say that no one
has right to critieise her acts. 1t
is said that she stated to a friend that if
she could find man who suited her
tastes s1e would marry him in fifteen
minutes. The friend happened to know
fifteen minute man, and a man who bears
splendid reputation, and the two peo.
pie who wanted to marry were lntroduc-
ed, and in just fifteen minutes a contract
to cling together for better for worse, was
entered into, and the young sister, with
affecting solemnity, bade an afectiorate
adieu to the walls of the convent, hung
her veil on the fence, and launched out
on the stage plank that leads to the good
ship matrimonv, aud she is now gliding
down the river of life by the joyous light
of the honeymoon.
The gentleman she married is named
Hillerbrand, and he has for some time
been employed on Arterburn's place, on
the Brownsboro road. This is remark
able case, as sister who once enters u
convent seldom leaves it, but prefers to
leave the world with its joys, its sorrows,
and Its myriad of sins behind her. Miss
Funk had not entered the final order of
sisterhood, and if she saw proper to
change the life that she had started out
to lead with the best of intentions, it
certainly Is a credit to her to come out
openly and act her part as she did, and
if she is happy and contented, the world
will find no fault with her conduct.

Weekly Review of tho Mark Lane Express
Holders Firm, But Limited Transactions
Favor Buyers.
LONDON, OCT. 25.-The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of the British grain trade
says: Wintery weather has retarded sowing,
but has, however, favored threshing, which
reveals the fact that of the large bulk of wheat
harvested in exceptionally good condition,
in the stack by rains. Seed wheats are conse-
market quotations. Supplies of homegrown
wheat are small, and good samples are more
readily saleable. Other qualities are even
duller than previously. Best English -four in
scaree and comparatively dear. Barley firm.
The foreign grain trade has shown some weak
ness and uncertainty. The wheat cargo trade
became dull Tuesday in consequence
of cable advices from America of large ship
ments at lower prices. This tendency con-
tinded and altogether breadstuffs were firmly
held, but very limited transactions favored
buyers. Flour supported Mondays quotations
in consequence of the steady consumptive de-
mand. Barley met healthy demand, but the
cargo trade was trihe easier Saturday. Oats
are weaker. Maize firmly held; quantity on
passage increasing, but the supply off coast
and in granary is only equal to the consump-
tive demand. Prices in London generally re-
main stationary and firm. Round Germ is,
however, scarce and improved at Sd per quar-
ter. Sales of English wheat during the week
Al, ,0S1 quarters at 42s Sd, against 35.6l7 quar-
ters at 49s 10d the corresponding week of last
year. Imports into the United Kingdom dur
ing the week ending Oct. IS, were 792, ,282 cwt.
wheat and 2l9, ,403 cwt. -four.
