Good Advice,

A woman's advice is generally
worth having; so, if you are in any
trouble, tell your mother, or your
wife, or sister about it. Be assured
that light will flash upon your dark
ness. Women are too commonly ad-
judged verdant in all but purely wo-
manish affairs. No philosophical stu
dents of the sex thus adiudge them.
Their intuitions, or insights, are most
subtle, and if she cannot see cat in
the meal, there is no cat there. A
man, therefore, should keep none OF
his affairs secret from his wife
Many a home has been happily saved,
and many fortune retrieved, by q
mans full confidence in his wife.
Woman is far more 6 seer and q
prophet than a man, if she be given
fair chance. As general rule, the
wives confide the minutest of their
plans and thoughts to their husbands.
Why not reciprocate, if but for the
pleasure of meeting confidence with
confidence? The men who succeed
best In life are those who made con-
.fddntes of their wives.

Why They Often Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in
the world because they neglect small
opportunities. Not being faithful in
little things, they are not promoted
to the charge of greater things. A
young man who gets subordinate
situation sometimes thinks 1t not nee
essary for him to give it much atten-
ton. He will wait till he gets place
of responsibility, and then he will
show people what he can do. This is
very great mistake. Whatever his
situation may be, he should master it
in all it's details, and perform all its
duties faithfully. The habit of doing
his work thoroughly and consclen-
tiously is what is most likely to en-.
able a young man to make his way,
With this habit, person of only or.
dlnary abilities would outstrip one o.
greater talents, who is in the habit oi
sighting subordinate matters. But
after all, adopted by young man o.
this great essential rule of success!
shows him to be possessed Of superior
abilities.

"Papa, Don't Bury Me Deep"

In the spring of 1869, little girl
died of consumption in Frederick
City. aged 3 years and 2 months.
A few days before she died she called
her father to her bedside and said:
"Papa, when I die don't bury me
deep-not more than so Deep"
holding up her tender and emaciated
arm and measuring from her shoul-
der out. ''Oh, it is so hard to be
put down so deep in the cold, damp
ground, and please don't place any
marble slab on my grave, it will be
so dark under it; and it will press
so heavy on my little breast. Sod
my grave nicely, and plant tree at
its head, so that the wild birds can
gather in its branches and sing for
me-" After pause she continued.
"But it seems to me ] would rather
have my own birds sing for me than
the wild birds. Couldn't you let
brother lWillle and sister Emma
bring our cage of little birds out to
the cemetery every Sunday morning
and leave them to sing for me all
day? When you a1e all at church
in town it won't seem lonesome out
by myself" A-zfew days after this
Anna died, and her affectionate par
ent did everything as she requested.
She was buried shallow, the grave
nicely sodded and tree planted at
its head. And still every Sunday
morning Willie and Emma can be
seen going out to the cemetery with
their cage of little birds to Annals

A Boston lawyer was called on a
short time ago by boy, who inquired
if he had any waste paper to sell.
The lawyer had a crisp, keen way Of
asking questions, and is, moreover, q
methodical man. So pulling out a
large drawer, he exhibited his stock
of waste paper.
"Will you give me two shillings
for that?"
The boy looked at the paper doubt
ingly a moment and offered fifteen
pence.
"Done,' said the lawyer, and the
paper was quickly transferred to the
bag of the boy, whose eyes sparkled
as he lifted the mighty mass.
Not until it was safely slowed away
did he announce that he had no mon
ey. To this statement the lawyer
responded.
"No money! How do you expect
to buy paper without money!
Not prepared exactly to state his
plan of operations, the boy made nc
reply.
''Do you consider your note
good?" asked the lawyer.
"Yes, SIR
every well; if you consider your
note good, I'd just as soon have it as
the money; but if 1t isn't good dom
want it, ,..r
The boy affirmed that he "consid
cred it good; whereupon the lawyer
wrote a note for fifteen pence, which
the boy signed legibly, and, lifting
the bag of paper trudged of.
Soon after dinner the little fellow
returned, and producing the money
announced that he had come to pay
his note.
"Well," said the lawyer, "this is tn
first time that l ever knew a note t.
be taken up the day it was given. !
boy that will do that is entitled t.
note and money too;" and giving hin
both sent him ON his way with a smil
ing face and happy heart.
The boys note represented hi
honor. A boy who thus keeps hi
honor bright, however poor he ma
he in worldly things, is An heir TO a
inheritance which no riches can bu
the choice promises Of God.

to become an editor, and this was
the encouragement he received:
"Canst thou draw up leviathan with

thou hook up great ideas from the

scale and fry them at five minutes

He Introduces Archibald Forbes, the
War Correspondent. Hs.z q

Mr.. Archibald Forbes delivered his
lecture On ''The Inner Life of War
Correspondent" IN Hartford, Conn,
On Thursday, being introduced by
Mark Twain, as follows: 1.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-It seems
peculiarly fitting and appropriate that
soldier should introduce a soldier
to his audience. I exercise this func-
ton by this authority, for 1 assure
you I am not unscquaintcd with the
grim sublimities of war, I having
served more than two years now as
honorary member of the Connecticut
Militia; and in that time have dared
all that they have dared, suffered all
that they have suffered-fought, bled
and died; so I can speak as gallantly
as the best of them. Why I was not
invited to 60 to Charleston and At
lanta with my regiment the other day,
Icannot explain-counting out, pos
sible professional jealousy. I would
have gone there with a heart filled
with the purest, most dlsinterested
and unselish motives-not as some
Others did, simply to get new suit
clothes for nothing. But a truce to
military heart-burnings and injustices.
Let them 60 with the perishable past.
My Office now is only to make you
acquainted with an English gentle
man, whom you all know perfectly
q man who has heard the roar of bat
tie in widely separated lands; a man
whose record is celebrated in war,
aud with the pen; man who has
fairly earned, not merely once, but
several times, the rarely granted
badge Of bravery, the Victoria Cross;
a man who has smelled the breath of
dissolution on many field, and who
is as familiar with it as the Genius,
who from the dome of the Capitol,
presides over the malarious region all
about her-Mr. Archibald Forbes,
soldier and war correspondent. In
ternational amities have received
new impetus during the past few
months. We have saluted the Brit
ish flag at Yorktown, and England
has returned the compliment. And
in our time of national grief not long
ago, you remember the Queens touch
ing message when our Presidents life
was balancing in the scale; how she
did what no British monarch ever did
before-clothed her court in the sor-
rowful emblems of mourning. And
you remember how all England
mourned with US, from throne to
bowel, when the heart of this nation
lay broken. I wish you would give
this gentleman welcome, so l have
reminded you who he is and what he
has done. I think it might have been
sufficient to have said: He is our
guest, and an Englishman. Ap-
plause.
