HUNoR AT HONE "A good thing to have
In the house is a sense OF humor. OF the ca
pacity to see little fun lurking under the
humdrum cares and work Of life. We all
know how it brighteBs up things generally to
have a lively, witty companion, VINO sees the
ridiculous points OF things, and who can turn
an annoyance into an occasion for laughter.
1t is great deal better to laugh over some
domestic mishap than TO CRY or scold over
them. Many homes are dull because they
are allowed to become too deeply impressed
with the cares and responsibilities OF life to
recognize its bright, and especially its mirth-
ful side. Into such a household, good but
dull, the advent Of witty, humorous fr lend
is like sunshine on cloudy day. While il
is always oppressivs to hear persons con-
stantly striving to say witty and funny
things, it is comfortable to see what bright
ener little fun is-to make an effort to have
some at home. II is well TO turA of an i'm
patient question sometimes and TO regard Il
from humorous point of view, instead Of
becoming irritated about 1t. "Wife, what is
the reason can never End clean shirt p
exclaimed a good but rather impatient hus
band, after ummszing all through the wrong
drawers. His wife looked at him steadily for
a moment, half-incliDed to lie provoked, then
with comical look, she said, 81 never could
guess conundrnms l give it up." Then he
laughed, and :hey both laughed, and she
went and got his shirt and he felt ashamed
OF himself and kissed her; and then ne felt
happy. So that what might have been an
occasion for hard words and bitter feelings
hpcar me lust the contrary All thror-h ,j,s tit
tie vein Of humor that cropped out to the
surface. Some children have peculiar fac
ulty for a humorous turn of things when they
are reproved. 1t does Just as we'll 70 laugh
things of as to scold them OF. Laughter Is
better than tears. Let Us have little mors
Of it at home.

the road and said to his wife:
"There he comes, Sally, you'd better
light three candles"
He took another look and suggested
that she light two more dips, 20 o. to
give the house 9 cheerful appearance,
and then took bis station at the gate to
welcome the expected purchaser. Five
candles illuminated the old farm house

After the burning Of Rome, saws q
writer 10 the London Q iarterly, Nero
grati6ed his taste. in entire disregard of
the proprietors, in rebuilding It. He
at once appropriated number OF the
sites and 8 large portion of the public
grounds for bis new palace. The por.
ticos, with their ranks OF columns. were
a mile long. The vestibule was large
enough to contain that colossal statue
Of him, in silver and gold. one hundred
and twenty feet high, from which the
Colosseum got its name. The interior
Was gilded throughout and adorned with
ivory and mother-of-pearl. The cell.
ings Of the dining were formed
Of movable tablets Of ivory, which shed
flowers and perfumes on the company;
the principal salon had a dome, which,
turning day and night, initiated the
movements OF the celestial bodies -
When the palace was finished he ex-
claimed "At last I am lodged like .

death, during many years, they crowded
to cover his tomb with flowers.

repulsed. He was NOW to attack The CEN
ter. Every man in both armies knew
where the blow was to fall, and one had
bat TO cast his eyes over that center to
realize at what cost Lee would attack.
Every exposed situation had been forti
fed, hundreds of riae-pits excavsted. and
every ravine would be packed with Fed
eral Infantry. There were stone walls,
hills and ridges as natural covers for the
defenders, and no field oi war offered bet
ter positions for artillery. The Federal ar
tillery on Cemetery Ridge could pour in
its fire over the heads OF the infantry on
the slopes. and the grim cannon in posi-.
lion on Cemetery Hill would enflade all
the front at grape and canister range.
Meade was ready at noon Lee not until

massed in the center, his choicest troops
put forward as a wedge, and when be

that the climax of three days of terrific

sidered. If he could penetrate the Fed

failed to do it he must fall back to the

IN THE GRAY OF MORN.
Daybreak was stealing softly over tht
hills and valleys, and it was not We: ligh
in the woods when Ewell pushed forward
to assault the Federals. He found them
forming in line to assault him, and the
blaze of the first mu-ket was followed
by a rush from either direction.
Neither Hill nor Longstreei was ad
vapcing, but Ewell had not been engaged
FIVE minutes before the fash of musketry
and the roar of cannon sounded all along
the line, and the awful work of the third
day had begun. But the real fight was
between Slocum and Ewell The one
was determined to crush the other. and
the bravery exhibited by blue and gray
on that flank that morning was never ex.
celled in wars history. Lines of gray
rushed forward through the smoke TO
find lines OF blue standing as firm as the
hills under them, aud whole companies
fred into each other at such close range
that the flames burned the clothing OF
the dead and wounded. When the gray
lines rolled back the blue lines followed,
and there would he another shock and
another haDd-to- hand struggle Ewelfs
first advance drove the Federal lines. In
the rebound he lost more than be had
won. Then Ewell was pushed quarter
OF a mile, when he rallied and crushed
Slocum back. So it was for hours-a
wave of war rolling back aud forth in it's
efforts to beat down the living walls
which imprisoned it. At nine in the
