How . Western Widower Obtained q
 Charming Wife,
 aichmond Dispatch. M
 About two weeks ago young lady who has always moved in the best cir cles of Richmond society, chanced to read in the Hartford Churchfnan an ad- vertisement in which a widower in Ohio wished to secure the services of q gov erness to take charge of his little girl, apont six or eight years of age. Being dependent upon her mother, widow m very moderate circumstances, the young lady, who is a very pretty blonde, and who has high-minded, noble char acter, determined to moke application for the pos .ion with the hope of gaining and independent livelihood, and of as- sisting her mother. She accordingly visited her pastor, well-known clergy man of the city, and also distinguish ed jurist here, and obtained from them let ters of recommendation, which she for- warded to the widower with her appli- cation. The high character of tls gen. tleman, as well as the cordial nd bcaus tiful manner in. which they expressed their entire ifidorsment of the young lady's capabilities and beauties of char acter, had such great weight with the widower that, discardipg the great mum. Der of applications with which he was beset, he came on 10 Richmond, satisfied that here he would find the lady he de> sired. He called upon her and had sev eral satisfactory interviews; indeed, they were satisfactory to such degree that upon the gentleman's departure for the North the early part of last week the aforementioned clergyman was aston tshed to receive note from him an nouncing that he had determined aot to take the lady he had recommended for governess, but that be desired to secure his services Tn m akirg her his wife. In few days thereafter he returned to Richmond, and the would-be governess was married to the gentleman from Ono.
 The ceremony was quietly performed by the clergyman who had been in part instrumental in bringing the pair tor gether. only the immediate family and one or two friends being present. The groom is about fiity-five years of age, is gentleman of means, and is represent ed as of fine appearance. As wedding gift, he settled upon his newlvsniade bride the handsome sum of S30, 900. The bride, it may be stated, is highly con nected, and is cousin of one of the most noted and fascinating belles that Richmond has known in this generation. The bridal party left on the 5 p. m. train the same day for Niagara and an extend. ed tour through the north and west, and in the fall will sail for Europe, where they will permanently reside.

 eyes. "We will be married at once, Muriel--a special Hcense will overcome all difficulties --and we will return in time for me to present my bride to Hubert Stretton when he comes at the end Of the week. Do you know, thouo sweet" and he bent his head little near her, that, richly as he deserves the ate in store for him, yet l feel sorry forf the disappointment he will suffer 2" And the look Muriel gave him from her bonny eyes was enough to make his heart throb just as it did.
 A week later-but Hubert Stretton did not gu te claim his bride, for Cyril had previously sent him word or two with marked copy oi Muriers marriage notice.
 And so the tangled skeins were smoothed, and love reigned at last in two fond hearts.

The Bes, Remedy for Chapped Hands

Is Hegeman's Comphor Ice. It should be rubbed upon the part affected. If the hands are badly chapped apply every night, and protect the hands by wearing an old pair of kid gloves. Hegeman's is the best and most popular of. all the Champion Ices made. Hegeman's Camphor Ice is also a cure for sore lips, chapaed face and sun burn. It is compounded with glycerine, which renders it more emolient than any other Camphor Ice, and it will be found most soothing application to the face after shaving.
 Be sure 10 ask for Hegeman's formerly made by Hegeman S Co.,, New York, and now made by the Metropolitan Medical Company of New Haven, Conn., and do not be put off with any other compound, which may become rancid and do you more harm than good. Hegeman's Camphor Ice never fails.

A Useless Palace.
London Truth.


 Some months ago expressed hope that when the King of Sweden came to England he would not be left to take his ease at an inn during his stay in London, but that Buckingham Palace would be placed at his disposal. and there is very general feeling of regret that this has not been done. When one com pares the magnificent hospitality always accorded to members of our royal fami- ly when they visit the capitals sf foreign kingdoms with the shabby way in which foreign royalties are treated in this coun- try, the result is certainly calculated to enhance our national reputation for un- seasonable thrift. Buckingham Palace, except during the eight days it is annu- ally inhabited by the Queen, and the four evenings in each season when it is devoted to hospitality, remains empty and useless.
 The charming grounds, of the beauties and extent of which few, even of Lon doners, have an idea, are abandoned to the gardeners, and the splendid eollec' ton of pictures tthere are some of the finest Dutch paintings in the world Tn the long gallery) are seldom looked upon except bv housemaIds. It therefore seems the more unfortunate that when sovereigns do come to this country the palace should not be opened to them as it would involve neither expense nor trouble, beyond the sending up of some cooks and servants from Windsor
 The Queen is quite as observant Of rifles as ever George III. was, and over looks nothing; and fl any member of tbe royal family reside more than a certain number of days at Buckingham Palace they are obliged to do for" themselves at the end of the specified term. A son in-law of her Msiesty's, who was limited to three days at time, evaded the reg ulailon by gong every third night and returning to begin fresh stay the next

Oh, ye in all the world who love true Song, Be gentle to the Singers who uplift ID innocent delight cradle gift So often found to NorE them fatal wrong Judge them not wholly as the tuneless
 throog,
 But if withiDg their instrument a rift Be found to mar not music, give II shriit; Song iustifies itself, if sweet and strong. Song iustifies itself, but they who sing, Raining ethereal music from height Lonely and pure, grow strong upon the
 wing,
 And more and more enamored of the
 light But faint for any earthly journeying. And fain to seek a lonely bed at night. And oh the tenderest to the seers who The yild-bird's song, the wild birds wing
 to rise.
 And bathe their souls in light oi sSmmer
 skies Poets who gather truth with pended back. And give forth speech Of it as on the rack; Speech ursent as the blood of grapes that His garments wb' must tread it out with
 sigh7, And ceaseltss fc.t ,ha, follow no fair track. Think of the maniul work of those who
 bruise
 The grape in setting free it's life divine, And If some favor they should thereby lose, Count 1t no marvel that soul should
 pine,
 Which eften for it's sustenance must use But dregs of that 1t pours thee forth as
 wine.
 Words that are idle with the songless crowo Are as the Poets rjpest deeds. the fruit And Howe of all his working deeds the
 suit,
 He weaves about his soul, which, if en-
 cowed Too richly, and so called to ends more
 proud,
 Builds with his breath house of high
 repute, Wherein be chants the office for the mute, Appealing ones, who at his feet are bowed. Yet let the Maker mold them as He will, A spirit that He knows not to control Works in His words beyond His utmost
 skill,
 Making them yield His measure, and the
 whole -ez Form ot His being, be it good orill = For no mans work is greater than his sou.
