\ BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-The fol-
loving may have been in print before, but
it is nevertheless beautiful and worthy of
reproduction
| \ man without some sort Of religion is,
at best, poor reprobatc, the football Of
destiny; with no tic linking him TO iniinity,
and to the wondrous eternity that is within
him ; but woman without it is even worse
IA flame without heat, rainbA without
color, a flower without perfume
a man may in some sort tic his irail
hopes and hours with weak, shifting, proud
| tackle, to his business Of the world but n
woman without thar anchor which they call

clumsily continue kind Of responsibility
or motive, but can find no basis in any 9th.
or system Of right action than that of spir
itual faith \ man may craze his thoughts
and his brain to such h ;ritaSc as fame and
reputation may stretch before him but 4

storms, if not in heaven
And that sweet trusttulncss-th that abiding
love, that cndcaring hope, mcllowing every
scene of life, lighting them with the pleas,
ant radiance when the worlds cold storms
break like an army with smoking CANON
what can bcstow it all but holy soultic TO
what is stronger than an army with cannon?
Who that has enjoyed the love Of a Cod
loving mother but will echo the thought
with energy and hallow it with tear?

SAVED BY SAwDUsT-Th utility Of q
pair Of patent sawdust calves was striking q
ly illustrated on Saturday. Shortly after +
in the afternoon a mad cur, pursued by
two persistng policemen, dashed into Eighth
street from Walnut and caused such u tlut-
ter among tho pcttcoats as that locality had
seldom witnessed. Among the tcniuity
that was flouncing along was a nymph who
filings her shapcly lcgs before the lootliyhts
Of the Grand Central Theatre. This tc-
male could not face rabid canine SO she
bundled up her pctticOats and made dash
with others for safety. Her legs, which
had served her so well before, did not GO
back on her this time, for the dog, proba
bly, attracted by the development below tho
knee, drove his poisonous tangs into hen
stocking and went bowling on. The bal,
let dancer, more dead than alive, was drag
gca into drug store, where an eager and
anxious crow Of men carefully examined
her legs. Their fears were ailay"l, how
ever, wh,n the discovery was made that
the canine had only destroyed the sawdust
padding which the young woman had tied
to Il lean shauk to give it roundncss aud at

\ FABLE-Thc Giraffe in one of the
biggest shows on earth got very angry be-
cause he was not consulted in the choice Of
ring masters, as he said he was entitled to
be by what he called, The courtesy Of
the show" The trick mules Sympathized
with him. Said the Giraffe to the show
man: "What, | would like to inquire,
would have become Of this circus t. and
the trick mule, had abandoned it at Peoria,
as VIC might have done %
And the Snowman answered "Ask
rather what would have become Of you and
the trick mules. There's no show travelling
but has all the Giraifcs it can take care of ;
and as for trick mules, thcy'r 4 drug in ;hc
market | sold off lot last winter myself
for IS apiece to the street cleaners"
Then the trick mules, shocked at the show
mans aulacity, sat around the Giraffe on
| their launches and wondered whether after
such language the lofty animal would lc t
the show so on. But the lofty auimal made
! no sign.
At length the Snowman said look
here, Gil! You're the most expensive ami,
NAL in this collection. You're SO high be,
tween joints that you have to have quarters
specially designed for you, and require such
| delicate diet and careful attendance that

whims. You're not useful and you re not
dangerous, and you're not much of a nov.
ely now. I've got several stuffed Girailcs
that would answer my purpose as we'll, and
be 4 great deal cheaper. If 20, and the
trick mules want to set up q side show by
yourselves go ahead, but if you're going to
stay here understand that this is great
moral show and I'm running it myself"

Mark Twain Introduces Mr..
Forbes.

Mr.. Archibald Forbes delivered
his lecture on 1.-The Inner Life of {
War Correspondent" in Hartford
Conn. on Thursday, being intro
duced to the audience by Marx
Twain as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: It seems
peculiarly Gttingand appropriatethat
a soldier should introduce a soldier
to his audience. I exercise this
function by this authority, for I as
sure you [ am not unacquainted
with the grim sublimities Of war, !
having served during more than two
years now as honorary member OF
of the Connecticut Militia; and in
that time have dared all that they
have dared, suffered all thatothev
have suffered-fOught, bed, and
died; So [ can speak as calamity as
the best Of them. Why l was not
invited to go to Charleston and At
lanta with my regiment the other
day,I cannot eXplain-counting out
possible professional jealousy.
would have gone there with a heart
filled with the pureSt, most disinter-
eSted, and uRSelfsh mOtiVeS-not us
some others did,simply to get new
suitof clothes for nothing. But truce
to military heart-burniRgs and in
justices. Let them go with the per
ishable past. My Office now is only
to make you acquainted with an En-
gliSh gentleman, whom you all
know perfectly-a man who has
heard the roar Of battle in widely
separated lands; man whose rec
ord is celebrated in war, and with
the pen; a 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 disso-
luton on many a 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 antics have received a
new impetus during the past few
months. We have saluted the Brit
ish flag at Y Yorktown, and England
has returned the compliment. And
in our time Of national grief, not
long ago, you remember the queens
touching message WHEN our Presi-
dents life was balancing in the
scale; and you remember that after
he died, how she did what no Brit
ish monarch ever did before
clothed her Court in the sorroWful
emblems ofmourning. And you re-
member how all England moarned
with us from throne to hevel when
the heart of this Nation lay broken.
I wish you to give this gentleman
welcome, so | 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. (Applause.)

| A reporter of the EcpreSs learne
from Mr.. James Holt,of Concho, th
particulars of history that, prop
erly handled. would make the we
and wool of as romantic a novel a
was ever written. 1t is the story O
a beautiful girl who voluntaril,
leaves all the luxuries and elegancie
of beautiful home in Philadelphia
to follow a lover to the wilds O.
Texas. Blanche Thomas was thu
only daughter Of parents who Law
ished upon her all that wealth coule
purchase. Her dresses from Worth
her .equipages, her brown stone
house on Chestnut street, were the
envy of many and the ambition of q
few.Her father took her with him to
Paris, where she soon became the
rage in the American colony there.
Many admirers had aspired to her
hand-manY wealthy nOblemen had
offered themselves in marriage, but
all in vain. When pressed by her
father for an explanation for her
conduct she reluctantly acknowl-
edged she was in love, and had been
since her childhood, with the son Of
the manager of her fathers coal
mines, near Pittsburgh. This so en-
ragged her father that he forbade her
even to mention the young mans
name again, and unthinkingly told
Der she must select some eligible
party within six months or cease to
be his daughter. Thinking him to
be in earnest, and knowing him to
be man of his word, the poor girl
packed up few clothes, and, taking
what money she had in her purse at
the time, took passage on an out
ward bound steamer for New York.
Arriving there she telegraphed to
her lover in Pittsburgh, who did not
even, stop to change his mining
clothes, SO afraid W he that he
would miss the fast Xpress that
was 10 carry him to tn bject Of his
affections.
There was quiet little marriage
at Grace church the next day and
the spoiled child of fortune was the
wife of a brawny, muscular miner.
After much thought and a great
amount of planning it was decided
to come to Texas and here build for
themselves a home. He pre-empted
and purchased land and sheep in
Taylor county, built a house of two
small rooms, and while she cooked,
washed,and attended to the humble
avocations of household drudgery,
he looked after the sheep and cult
waited a few acres of land. A year of
perfectbut quiet happiness passed by
when the husband broke his leg and
the work Of watching the sheep de-
volved upon the wife. One after
noon, as she was walking toward
the house in her simple countrydress
a party of gentlemen rode land one
of them was her father, who had been
searching for his daughter since her
departure from Paris. Calm refec-
ton had taught him that hers had
after all, been the better choice, anG
he was only too glad to recogni re in
her husband sOn-in-law. He. per-
suaded them to give up their home
in Texas for a time and return with
him to Philadelphia San antonio

A Book FOR HOUsEKEEPERs.-We have
received a neatly bound volume of PIT pages,
clear, large print, entitled THE Easiest Way
in House Keeping and Cooking by Mrs.
Helen Campbell. This interesting and in
structive work is designed for domestic use,
and as an aid for housekeepers in the dis
charge of the duties which are uniformly con-
nected with housekeeping. We cannot better
present the advantages of the book than by
quoting the index of its contents, which in
part is as follows; The House situation and
arrangement. and its ventilation; Drainage
and Water Supply; The Days Work; Fires,
Lights and things to work with: Washing
Day and Cleaning in General; The Body and
its Composition; Food and its Laws; The
Relation of Food to Health; The Chemistry
of Animal Food The Chemistry of Vege-
table Food; and Condiments and Beverages;
composition and methods of preparing innu-
mcrable dishes then follows, with recipes fol
the same. An attractive feature about the
books the simplicity Of its compositions and
instructions. No one whose duties call them
to give direction to household affairs should
be without copy.
Mrs. Campbell is now engaged at the .Au-
gusta Female Seminary in teaching classes OF
cooking, adding very important practical
feature of education to the curriculum of that
well established and widely known institution
for the education of young ladies'

The Weather. We are still wading through
considerable depth of snow which has with
in the last day or two received heavy incrus-
tation of ice from the fall of sleet and rain
which so increased the weight that several
barns and outhouses in the neighborhood have
been crushed. The barn roof of Andrew
Hogshead fell in during the night, but fortu-
nately did not break through the NOW and
threshing floors upon his stock which he sue
ceeded in getting out safe. We have not had
an entire fair day since the present snow
fell, the goth ult, and still the sky is draped in
fogs and mists with occasional showers OF
sleet and snow. To-day the temperature was
7degrees above freezing and but little impres:
sion was made upon the snow.
Death.-Diptheria has been prevalent among
us for sometime past. Our neighbor, D. N.
Van Lear, Esq, in whose family the malady
has been prevailing met with sad misfortune
in the loss of his very interesting little daugh-
ter Maggie" about three years of age. Her
tiny bark freighted with the fondest hopes OF
afectionate parents was scarcely launched
upon life's chrystal waves ere it was wrecked
and vanished with all its precious freight be-
meath its waters. The family have the warm
est sympathy of this community in their
bereavement. The remaining members of the
family who were suffering from the disease are
