Reecher,s Enlogr on Garfield.


Memorial services in honor of Presi-
dent Garfield were held at Peekskill.
The number assembled was 80 large

Presbyterian church and listened to ad-
dresses from various speakers. The
Rev Henry Ward Beecher pronounced
most impressive eulogy. He said :
"This is funeral service, and We are
gathered as household whose father
has been struck down by the hand Of
violence. Not even when Lincoln was
slain was there such an exhibition OF
universal sympathy. The pulses of the

the hen buried her head in his breast

alarm, and l have no doubt he mistook
it for bird of prey. 1 have green

How to be Beautiful,

Most people would like to be hand
some, All cannot have good features
they are as God made them but almost
anyone can look well, especially with
good health. It is hard to give rules in
a very short space, but in brief these
will do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act free, and it
takes care of itself, Its thousands of
air holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough-not
too much. The stomach can no more
work all the time, day and night, than
a horse. 1t must have regular work and
rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks.
Brush them with soft brush, especially
at night. Go to bed with cleansed
teeth. OF course to have white teeth it
is needful to let tobacco alone. All
women know that. Washes for the
teeth should be very simple. Acid may
whiten the teeth, but it takes off the
enamel and Injuries them.
Sleep in a cool room, in pure air. No
one can have a cleanly skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, in order
to look well, wake up mind and soul
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.

Story Of n RrenItrnsl Cnn.

cleverly-worn breakfast cap repaired
what had threatened to prove fatal mis-
chief. A girl of very moderate natural
pretensions TO beauty, but mighty artful
in dressing and adorning her hair was
in love with a fine fellow, and vas fast
making him love her. She invited him
to spend a week with her family in their
seaside cottage, with the perfectly
proper intention OF bringing him to the
point Of popping the matrimonial ques-
tion. Well, after he had been there
several days, and was we'll nigh capti-
waited, he saw sight that disenchanted
him. The girl had washed her hair and
taken nap while it dried. While
'scooting through a hallway, she met
the fellow face to face. Her hair was
damp, matted close to her lead and
struggling in thin disorder down her
neck. Itrequired second look to rec
ognize her Whenever he had seen her
before her hair was pulled, frizzled and
banged in a manner that made her head
shapely and attractive. Now 5he home
illness of her face was unrelieyed; all
style had departed, and she looked
commonplace to n shocking degree.
She realized the disaster Immediately,
and came to my room with tears in her
eyes.
"What shall / do?' she whispered.
Finish the breakfast-cap you're
making" said, "and wear it in your
very ablest manner at breakfast"
She caught the idea and acted on it.
At the breakfast table she appeared in
the most coquettish cap imaginable,
poised at precisely the right angle on
her artfully-dressed hair, The fellow
had said the evening before that he
guessed he would go home next day /;
but the breakfast cap restored the spell
of enchnntment, which had been tenn
porarily dispelled, and before his visit
was over he was engaged. Idon't know
what the effect will be when, as hus-

mans eyes gently closed, and from his
face the lines Of settled despair gradu-
ally cleared away, till only a happy
smile was left beaming around wrinkles.
The players thoughts were far away
TO him the cold room and the snowy
window were become as nought. Back
in the little garden of fifty years ago, in
the arbor scented by the pinks and
roses, with the dark velvet pansies
clustering the little plot at his feet
he was listening again TO that same old
tune as he heard it first, when his wife,
ong dead, sang the words and he
played the air upon that well remem-
bered violin. He could hear her voice ;
he could smell the roses perfume.
Surely it was that same violin he was
playing nowl From his closed eyes,
down the white cheeks, tears dropped
warm and fast upon the strings of the
violoncello. He needed them not; his
thoughts were far away.
So the tune rose and fell, and the
snow gathered thicker and thicker on
the windew-panes, till the candle on
the little table fickered out. Yet the
arm in the rusty sleeve did not weary
in its slow, regular motion the cold
fingers still pressed the strings ; the
player did not awake to the darkness of
the room.
"We're old now" he murmured they
don't want us any longer"
His eyes were still shut, but the tune
waxed slower and slower, till it died
altogether. The bow slipped from the
old mans fingers, the gray head sank
upon the table the violoncello rested
soundless against the breast of the rusty
black coat.
