the writer felt that her eyes rested
upon the most graceful, distinguished
and queenly woman that h haieNer
seen. When it was published that
she was engaged during The session
sending notes to IA Senator on the
floor, year after year the
writer sat i'm the gallery, but saw no
notes given To a page or delivered on
the floor. Year after year the writer
had noticed this accomplished woman
sitting in the gallery from time to
time, apparently deeply Interested in
the debates, without the slightest lev-
ify of the smallest departure from the
most rigid decorum. In liter years
she is rarely seen without n or
more of her children. History is full
of married women and who have been
used to crush obnoxious men. When
Catherine Chase Spragne was the
daughter of the chief justice and wife
of a senator she appeared in the social

Pluck VIII VIM.

A young man was commencing
life as a clerk. One day his en-
ployer said to him: Now to-mor-
row that cargo of cotton must be
got out and weighed, and we must
have a regular account of it,"
He was a young man of energy.
This was the first time he had been
entrusted to superintend the eXecu-
ton of this work. He made his ar
engagements over night, spoketo the
men about their carts and horses,
and resolved to begin very early in
the morning. He instructed his la
borers to be there at half-past four
O'Clock. So they set to work and
the thing was done, and about ten
or eleven O'Clock his master came
in and seeing him sitting in the
counting-house, looked very blank,
suppOsing that his commands had
not been executed.
81 thought" said the master,
''you were requested to get out that
cargo this morning"
|It is all DONE" said the young
man, land here is the account foT
it."
He never looked behind him
from that moment-never His
character was fixed, confidence es-
tablished.
He was found the man to do the
thing with promptness. He very
soon came to be one that could not
be spared /; he was rs necessary to
the firm as any of the partners. He
was a religious man, and went
through a life of great benevolence,
and at his death was able to leave
his children an ample fortune.

rhe LlttIe Game of Kex-no.

A special from Philadelphia, dat
ed March p, says:
The safe openers and sneak thievs
ever on the lookout for some novel
ty from which they may plumber
strong boxes without recourse to
clumsy instrumentalities of drills,
wedges, gunpowder and dynamite,
have hit upon a brilliant idea,
which the police are anxious to put
merchants and bankers on their
guard against.
Two men work the game. They
enter your offices and exhibit a pat
ent lock, resembling a safe lock, and
request the loan of a safe key just
for a second, because they have lost
their own key. They are such well
dressed, bland fellows, that the re-
quest was generally complied with.
A man with a lock takes a borrow
ed safe key, inserts it, twists it
around a little, and in a minute re-
marks: "Confound it, it's too bad,
it won't fit" and then returns the
key to the owner with many thaUks
and departs.
The lock is a dummy, and Is in
g~eniously contrived so that a wax
impress of the borrowed key is ia
ken in the operation of attempting
to unfasten it. The Office is visited
by night soon ~afterward, the safe
opened, robbed, and relocked in Il
most mysterious manner. There
have been two rOhberieS reported
to the police already.

The Last mouthruI OF Food

Times were very hard with us
during the war. My husband had
been out of work, and one morning
we ate the last mOuthful of food |
had in the house, and L knew not
where to look for another meal for
my four little children. The most
trying moment of that sad day was
when my youngest child, a golden
haired pet only three years old,
said, Mamma, Ada is hungry"
and L was obliged TO answer, "Dar-
ling, mother has nothing to give
you" She opened her eyes in
grave establishment, and said slow
ly, Ada is awful hungry 1t SEEM
ed to me my heart would break. I
felt l must do something, but what
could | do? | had very little real
faith in prayer, but l could think of
no other resort so l knelt down
with my children, and asked with
tears for daily bread. | wept be-
cause my need was great, but | had
little expectation of an answer.
But Ada was not so unbelieving. /
shall never forget the air of eXpec-
tation with which she looked up in
W my tdCC a. VIC AOSC lIOIA Jul
knees, and said, MAYBE God is
cutting the bread now"
Meanwhile my husband had been
going from place to place looking
for work, but had not found any,
and was coming home empty hand
ed and with an aching heart. Quite
near the house he met our minister,
aud after learning that he had no
work yet the good man said, "You
have been out of work for a long
time now, and you have quite a
family; I want you to tell me how
you get along. Have things that
YOU need at home" This was too
much for my poor husband; he
burst into tears, and confessed that
we were without food or money. So
it came about that in less than an
hour after our prayer WAS offered he
came in with a large basket well
filed with comforts for us, and on
top of all was a large loaf of bread.
This was the first thing Ada saw
when the cover was removed, and
she exclaimed, ooh mamma! God
didn't cut the bread-he sent US the
whole loaf"

Eternity.

Suppose some little insect, so
small as to be im~perceptible to the
human eye, were to carry this world
by tiny mouthfuls, to the most dis
tant star the hand of God has plac-
ed in the heavens. Hundreds Of
millions of years are required for
the performance of a single journey.
The insect commences upon the
leaf of q tree, and takes its little
load, so small that even the micro
scope cannot discover that it is gone,
and sets out upon its almost endless
Journey. After millions and mil
lions of years have rolled away it
arrives back to take its second load.
Oh, what interminable ages must
pass before one leaf shall be re-
moved In what period of coming
time would the tree be borne away?
When would the forest be gone ?
And when would that insect take
the last particle of this globe and
bear it away in its long journey?
Even then eternity would but ha We
commenced. The spiritthen in ex-
istence would still look forward to
eternity, endless, Interchangeable, IL
limitable, rolling before it. The
mind sinks down perfectly eXhaus-
ted with such CONCENTRATIONS. Yes!
our existence runs parallel with
that OF God. So long as he endures,
so long shall that flame which he
has breathed into our bosUms glow
and burn, but it must glow in the
brilliance and the beauty of Heaven
or burn with the lurid flame and
uneXtinguishable woe.

How She cured Him OF Swearing.
Nashville American.

The husband of a certain Nash
Vile lady was, before his marriage,
a furious sWearer. Through the
wife's influence he left off this bad
habit, except one fOVOrite cuss word
which chung to him under all cir
cumstances, and which, 10 the great
annoyance of the good wife, he
would unconsciously use every
where-the word "damn,"
Several months since he arose one
cold morning, before the servant
came i'm to make the wood fire, and
after a long effort and the fruitleSs
burning of many matches, turned
and said "Sallie, this damn fire
UOn't burn" To this the good wife
earnestIysaid: eyes, the damn wood
is too green, and the damn servant
has forgotten to bring up any damn
kindling to start the damn fire
with" He looked at his wife in
absolute dismay, but at once saw
the point and said nothing.
y longer period than usual passed
without the favOrite expletive being
used, but later on he wanted a bask-
ct, and said, after looking for it !:
"Sallie, where has that damn bask-
ct got to ?' The wife quietly, as if
putting a child to sleep, said "Ask
the damn cook to get you the damn
basket-damn her, size keeps it,"
AS before, he said nothing, but
months have passed, and if he
damns anything it is not where she
is. She says it was like taking quin-
ire, and that she always went and
washed out her mouth afterwards,
but he is cured.

said that l helped to make a young
man a drunkard."
When Mrs. Brayton returned
Helen fastened to explain.
I'VE will not have wine, mother.
| could never hold up my head
again if l knew that one person was
led to drink to excess through my
offering him a social glass"
"What l have to say will be I'M
necessary in this case" smiled Mrs.
Brayt0n. 81 have just seen Henry
Fargo. He hopes we will not have
wine. Since viii persisted misera-
bly, as he did, he cannot go where
wine is used freely. As this is the
first party of the season, he trusts
that we will set the example that
many, very many, will gladly fol-
lOw.D
81 could never have done it but
for Aunt Agatha" Helen answered,
with her old bright look. Henry
Fargo shall never have it to say
that | tempted him with wine"

stick to it. and succeed.

Perseverance is the main thing in
life. To hold on and to hold out to
the end is the chief matter. If the
race could be won by a squirt, thOus-
ands would wear the blue RIBBON ;
but they are shOrt-winded, and pull
up after the first gallop. They be-
gin with flying, and end in crawl
ing backward. When it comes to
the collar work, many take to jib-
ing.
If the apples do not fall at the first
shake of the tree, your hasty folks
are too lazy 10 fetch a ladder, and in
too much of a hurry to wait till the
fruit is ripe enough TO tall of itself.
The hasty man is as hot as fire at
the onset, and as cold as ice at the
end. He is like the Irishman's
saucepan, which had many good
points about it, but it had no bot
tom. He who cannot bear the bur-
den and heat of the day is not worth
the salt, much less his potatoes.
We ought not to be put out of
heart by difficulties /; they are sent
on purpose to try the stuff we are
made of, and depend upon it they
do us a world of good. There's a
sound season why there are bones in
our meat and stones i'm our land. A
world where everything was easy
would be a nursery for babies, but
not at all n lit place for men. Celery
Is not sweet until it has felt a frost,
and men don't come to their perfec-
ton till disappointment has drop
ped half hundred weight or two
on their toes.

q perS.

SOmebOdy-if we knew who, we
would give due credit-writes thus
tersely and truthfully of newspapers
and their worth to the world:
"The value of newspapers is not
fully appreciated, but the rapidity
with which people are waking up
to their necessity and usefulness, is
one of the significant signs of the
times. Few families are now con-
tent with a single newspaper. The
thirst for knowledge is not easily
satiated, and books, though useful
yea, absolutely necessary in their
place, fail to meet the demands of
youth or age. The village news
paper is eagerly sought for and its
contents as eagerly devOured. Then
comes the demand for the county
news, state news, national and for
come the literary, and then the
scientific journals. Lastly, and
above all, come the moral and re-
ligiOus journals. This variety is
demanded to satisfy the cravings OF
the active mind.
Newspapers are also valuable to
material prosperity. They adver-
tise the village, county or locality.
They spread before the reader a
map on which may be traced
character, design, progress. If a
stranger calls at a hotel, he first in
quires for the village newspaper il
a friend comes from a distance, the
very next thing after a family
greeting, he inquiries for your vii
Iage or county newspaper, and you
feel discounted if you are unable to
find a late copy, and COMPOUNDED il
you are compelled to say you do not
take it.
1.-THE newspaper is just as neces-
sary to fit a man for his true po-
sition in life, as food or raiment.
Show us a ragged, barefoot boy
rather than an ignorant one. His
head will cover his feet in after life
if he is well supplied with ncwspa.
pers. Show us the child who is
eager for newspapers. He will
make the man of mark in after life
if you crafty that desire for knowl-
edge. Other things being equal, ii
is 4 rule that never fails. Give the
children newspapers"
