ALL FOR LOVE.

The best ratured oman in the United
States lives iu Austin. She has been
married number of years TO e mau
named Ferguson, but she and her bus
band have never had a quarrel yet, and
he has frequently boasted that il was
utterly impossible to make her angry.
Ferguson made several desperate at.
tempts 10 see if he could not exasperatc
her TO look cross or scowl q, him merely
10 crafty his curiosity, but the more
outrageous he acted the more atfable
and loving she behaved.
Last week he was talking with friend
about what a hard time he had tenn
per- The friend offered to bet $50 that
if Ferguson were 10 go home drunk,
raise q row snd pull the tablecloth full
of dishes off the table, she would show
! some signs of annoyance. Ferguson
said he didn't want 10 rob friend OF
his money, for he knew he would win;
but they at last made bet OF $50, the
friend 10 hide in the front yard and
watch the proceedings ofthe convention
through the window.
Ferguson came home late, and, ap-
parentlv, fighting. She met him at the
gate, kissed him. and assisted his tot
tering steps 10 the house. lie sat down
in the middle of the floor, and howled
out:
"Contound yer ugly picture, what did
you mean by pulling that chair from
under me?"

self. l. is my awkardpess, bat I'll try
ani not do it again, and helped him to
his ice., although she had nothing in
the world 10 do with lis falling.
lie then sat down on the sofa, and,
sliding off on the floor, abused her like
ckpocket for lifting up the other
end OF the sofa, ali OF which she took
good naturedIy, and finally she led him
10 the supper table. He threw a plate
at her, but she acted as il she had not
noticed ii, and asked him If he would
take tea CT coffee.
Then the brute seized tho table cloth
and sat down on the floor, pulling the
dishes and everything else over him, IN
one grand crash.
What did this noble woman dol DO
you suppose she grumbled and talked
about going home 10 her ma, or that
she sat down and cried like fool. or
that she sulked aud poutedi Not blt
of it. With pleasant smile she said T:
"Why, George, that's new idea,
isn't itl We have been married ten
years and have never yet ate our sup
per on the floor. Won't it be tun--jas.
like those picnics we used to go 10 be
fore we got married." And then this
angelic woman deliberately sat down
on the floor alongside OF the wretch,
arranged the dishes and fixed him nice
supper.
This broke George all up. lie owned
up he was only tooliDg her, aud offered
TO give her the $50 to get herself q new
hat, bat she took the money and bought
him a new suit of clothes and box Of

a New Married Couple Baptized.

A newly married pair, who arrived
on their honeymoon trip at celebrated
Scotch watering-place at time when
accommodation was premium, had a
mattress spread for them by compas-
sionate inn keeper in one OF his baths.
In the middle of the night the house
was alarmed by loud shrieks porceed-
ing from the nuptial chamber. What
was the matter7 Well, this. The young
bride, wishing to ring for maid, had
caught hold OF what she presumed 10
he the bell-rope, and pulled il smsrtly.
Unhappily for her and her spouse, it
was the cord Of the shower.bath over
their heads, and forthwith down
pumped such a drluge OF cold water
as would throw damper upon the
most devoted honeymoon couples. Her
husband, in dismay caught irauticrlly
at another cord on his side Of the ex.
tenporized couch, but the only re-
sponse was an equally liberal deluge
OF water, this time nearly boiling bot.
The unhappy pair then screamed in
unison, and the bride in the excitement
Of the moment, uttered sentiments
anything but complimentary TO her
fond husband When the servants
came, they were just in time TO rescue
the uDlucky pair from drowning, for
the room IVES already halt full of water,
and the wife was perched like a
monkey 90 her husbands back utter
ing the most lamentabIo cries, while
her good man was fumbling about in
the dark, trying his beet TO find the

a Corpse Retained for Debt.

A singularly distressing case has oc-
Cured on Thirty fourth street, near sec
ond avenue, in the family of an Irish
car-driver named Pat Mutually. At a
late hour last evening Herald reporter
entered the tenement house No. 320
East Thirty-fourth street, and ascending
a flight of stairs was shown into back
room, shabbily furnished, in which
about dozen people were seated. AT
one end OF the room coffin was placed
bearing the inscription: Bridget Mul,
lally. died August 18th, aged SO years.
1t contained the remains OF the poor
mans wife, and the scene presented
was of an Irish wake under the most
piliable circumstances. Among the
company that were present were three
or four children OF the dead woman,
and few OF her late neighbors. Mrs
Mutually lied about noon on Thursday,
and arrangements were made to have
the funeral TO take place on Saturday
When the appointed hour arrived the
Eearse was brought to the door, but
there it remained for three hours, and
returned again without conveying the
corpse to Calvary cemetery. The IN
dertaker's bill had not been paid and he
refused 10 carry out the arrangements
that had been made with him. Not
only this he held the burial permit
which had been handed him by the
husband, and would not surrender it
until he was paid. Mrs. Mutually was
i'll for some twelve months, and during
this time frequently told her husband
that she had a sister in Brooklyn who
would defray the expenses of her tnner-
al in case she did not recover. At her
death her husband went TO an undertak-
er on third avenue aud said that he was
unabled to pay for the burial. The nn-
dertaker declined TO have anything TO
do with the matter until nephew OF
Mullally, who resides in Brooklyn,
promised TO pay all expenses. AS he
failed on the day of the funeral TO keep
his word, the undertaken refused 10 bury
the body. On his further refusal 10
give up the burial permit neighbor
went 10 au officer of the Board OF
Health who wrote an order for its sur
render. 1t is alleged that this has al
SO been disregarded. 1t is still doubt
fol when the poor woman will be
placed in her grave.-N. T. Herald.
