4 Sad Story of q Wrecked Life.

The most thrilling and sadly silgges- tive temperance lecture is the sight of once noble, talented man. left in ruins by Intoxicating drink. 4 Washington paper tells of a ragged beggar, we'll known in the streets of that city, who once held an important command in the army, having been promoted for personal bravery, from a cavalry Lieutenant to nearly the highest rank in military ser- vice. One night, not long ago, when he mad been too successful ill begging liquor to sate his, craving, and while lying helplessly drunk in the rear part of Third street saloon, some men thought to play a joke on him by steal ing his shirt, and proceeded to strip him.
 Underneath his shirt, and suspended by string from his neck, was small canvas bag, which the men opened and found 1t contained his commission as Brevet Major Genaral, two congratu- latory letters-one from Gen. Grant and one from President Lincoln-a photo graph of little girl, and curl of hair "a "chestnut shadow" that doubtless one day crept over the brow of some loved one
 When these things were discovered, even the half-drunken men who found them felt a respect for the mans for mer greatness, and pity for his fallen condition, and quietly returned the bag and its contents to where they found them, and replaced the sleeper's clothes upon him.
 When reporter tried to interview the man, and endeavored to learn something of his life in the past few years, he de- clined to communicate anytaing. I He cried like child when told how his right name and former position were ascertained, and, with tears trickling down his cheeks, said:
 For Gods sake, sir, don't publish my degradation, or my name, at least, ii you are determined to say something about it. It is enough that know my. self how low I have become. Will you promise that much? It will do no good but will dc my friends a great deal o harm, as, unfortunately, they think ] died in South America, where went al the close of the war;"
 Intemperance and the gaming g-table, he said, had wrought his ruin.

Women of Worth.

Since the world began, woman has never failed to illustrate, in instances, the glory of her natrlre-never ceased to manifest the divine in the human. With the regal Esther, yearning to bless her enslaved kindred, and the filial-love-in- spired daughter, who sustained the life of her gray-haired father through a prisons bars, there have not been par allels wanting in all ages to prove that the angels of God still wander on earth to remind man Of Eden and give him 8 foretaste of heaven. Of such type of virtue were Penelope, weaving amid her maieens through weary years the web that shielded her virtue until her royal husband returned from his wauderings, and was to gladden. her heart; or courteous Rebecca, at the we'll or timid Ruth, gleauing in the field or, nobler still, the Roman Cornelia, who, taunted in Rome's decaying age, by rivals, with her poverty, held up her children, ex- claiming: "These are my jewels p Fit woman to have been the "mother of the Gracchi."

What He Hadn't.

A certain rich man possessed of great wealth was wont to be proud of his pos sessions and to refer to them often, but, withal, he was not man of intellect. One day he had an old Irishman work ing for him, and he went out to oversee the job. He looked at Pat minute, hard at work, and said:
 "Well, Pat, it's good to be 1ich, ain it?"
 "Yis, sur," said Pat, who had the wit of his nation.
 "I am rich, very rich, Pat"
 " Yis, sur"
 "I own lands, and houses, and bonds, and stocks, and railroads, and-and- and"
 "Yis, sur," said Pat, shoveling away.
 "And what is it, Pat, that I haven't got ?"
 "Not a bit of sinse, sur,'" remarked Pat, as he picked up his wheelbarrow and trundled it off full of dirt; and the rich man went into the house and sal down behind the door.

The Rapier and the Broadsword.

The art of fencing stands uDrivaled as scientific and graceful accomplishment and exercise. Fencing brings into &C., tion more of the voluntary muscles at the same time than any other exercise.
 What can be more graceful or striking than man in the attitude of fencing his eye keeping pace with his hand, his mind keenly and actively absorbed, all his muscular power braced for the at- tack, foot to foot, eye to eye, point to point, the chest expanded and head and neck erect? The motions Of the muscles of the thighs, arms, and legs give to one in any of the positions in fencing the most pleasing and animating effect, and the fencer soon acquires grace and elas- ticity in very marked degree. One fencing master in Paris devotes his en- tire time to instructing ladies, and there are many hundreds'of good fencers to be found among ladies in the best society in France. The costume worn by them at practice consists of loose jacket, skirt falling to within about nine inches of the ground, and fannel-a more be- coming and easy dress than one is likely to encounter on the street, certainly
 Many ladies in New York have alsc, adopted this exercise. All this applies to the napier or the foil, its representa- tive in learning the science. In France it is called le feuret. It Is an old say | ing that man who has carte and tlerce at his fingers ends must be Q gentleman | (or lady ?. There are used at present, beside the napier, the cavalry sword, or saber, and the bcoadsword. Saber prac- tice consists of cut and feint alternately 1 the broadsword practice is almost exclu- sively cuts. Indeed, the majority of l those using the broadsword are taught toneglect the feint entirely. To make 2 cut the sword must be first raised, and the force of the cut depends on the ele vation of the arm and weapon. These movements, compared with the thrust

How Daniel Webster Proposed.

In old times it was the fashion for 6 suitor to go down on his knees to lady when he asked her to become his wife, which, with very stout gentlemen, was .ln uncomfortable proceeding. The way ln which Daniel Webster proposed to Miss Fletcher was more modern, being tt the same time neat and poetic. Like many another lover, he was once hold ing a skein-of thread or wool which the ady had been unraveling. "Gracie,' said he, "we have been untying knots let us see if we cannot tie one which will not unite in a ifetime.' With a piece of tape he fastened the half of a true lovers knot Miss Fletcher per fected it, and kiss put the seal to the symbolical bargain.

Jim Bowie and the SMenphis Ter
 rGr.c

On one occasion Bowie, whose reputa- tion had reached Memphis, arrived by boat at that city, or rather what was then known as the Third Cllickasaw Bluffs. The bank from the boat landing to the top was about 150 feet high, and. large number of people were watching the arrival of the strangers. Looking down, one of them recognized Bowie as he stepped over the gang plank, and made the remark: There comes Jim Bowie"
 "What l" shouted big hatboatman,. then known as the Memphis Terror" as he looked down the bluff: sswhat Jim Bowie That's the fellow I've been looking for for months. Jim Bowie Why, - him, I'll whip him so quick he won't know what hurt him. I'll whip him Ii l never whip another man in my life. Stand by, boys, and see the funl"
 Bowie came slowly up the bank. In his hand he carried an old umbrella. He had no pistols, and, was evidently not expecting or in fact prepared for fight. This fact did not escape the now thoroughly interested spectators. Up went tine fatboatman promptly, as Bow e reached the top of the bluff. .Is your name Jim Bowie P he asked.
 Bowie replied that it was.
 "Then, shouted the hatboatman, as he squared of, 1T think you a - rascal, and I'm going to whip you right here and now."
 Bowie was a man of few words. He stood and gazed at his adversary, who was more embroidered than ever. II think you're coward" he yelled, "and I'm going to knock yonr lead of, , and, so saying, the "Mem- phls Terror" advanced to the conflict.
 Bowie never finched lis keen eye was fixed on the Terror" who at this moment was face to face with him. But as the man of Memphis drew dirk from his breast Bowie stepped back . foot and thrust out his umbrella as if to keep his antagonist at bay.
 The Memphis Terror" seizing the umbrella with one hand, made pass at the inventor of the famous knife with the other. In so doing, he pulled the umbrella to himself, leaving free in tke right hand of Bowie his murderous weapon, which to this moment had been concealed in the folds of the impromp!r sheath. The sight of Bowie standing there with the knife in his hand and the gleam of vengeance in his eye was too much for The Terror"
 From the bouncing bully he became transformed into a craven coward in { second His face turned pale and hil knees trembled, while the dirk dropped from his hands as he gazed on Bowie weapon with staring eyes. "Put 1t up put away that scythe, for Gods sake Bowie. I was mistaken in my man." Bowie advanced a step.
 "Don't-don't kill me !" beseeche, , the bully; ''for Gods sake, man, don go for me with that scythe, and I swea
 to you I'll never attack another man a 1 long as live.
 Bowie looked at his now thorough 3 demoralized opponent for moment and then, turning on his heel with th expression, "Coward," walked rapidl l away. Thenceforth the 'Memphi n Terror was changed man, and unt @ the day of his death he never lost th e sobriquet of Put-up-that-ssYsA."

WOman's Slavery.

In what respect is the condition of many married woman better than a slaveP She works hard year after year, and has roof over her head and she is provided with food; so is slave. She must beg her master for little pit tance for which to buy the clothing for herself and children. The slave master looks after such wants of his cattle without their asking. She has no free dom or independence she dare not buy a single article at the store until she gets the consent of the tyrant whom the civil law has made her husband. She can have no will about even household affairs that her husband disapproves of i; she is slave in both body and mind during his life; and at his death, if she survives him, she cannot, under the un- just and tyrannical laws of nearly all the countries of the world, sell the prop erty which she. has helped to ac- cumulate, nor control her own children

Birch Bark Rubber.

It is said that dense black gum may be obtained from the outer layers of the birch tree bark by distillation, which possesses all the ordinary properties of gutta percha, and has the additional merit of resisting the deteriorating in- fluence of air and the corrosive action of acids. This advantage makes it use- ful as an ingredient of India-rubber and gutta percha, which it renders far more durable. Whether these statements are true remains to be proved.-Scientifc American.

lT is related of Dr. Holmes that at a country charitable fair one day he was entreated to furnish letter for the postoffice. He seized sheet of paper, and between it's folds placed $1 bank note. Turning to the first page he wrote the following:
 Dear lady, whosoe'er thou art
 Turn this poor page with trembling care;
 But hush, oh hush thy beating heart
 The one thou lowest best is there. In obedience to the poets injunction, the page turned disclosed the attractive greenback of the value of one dollar, and, to prove the truth of this assertion, he made the following appeal on the ops posite page from the bank deposit: Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
 If this is not truthful letter;
 This is one thou lowest we'll
 And naught [O) would make thee love it better,

Charlotte Cushman,s Advice.

Charlotte Cushman discouraged won- en as far as she could from adopting the stage as profession. She was accus- toned to say that for the candidate who has beauty there is moral ruin as re- ward, and when her personal attractions are poor then her course is one long, disheartening struggle, ending generally in failure. She attributed her success to her wonderful physical health. Her mind was masculine and her physique was one rarely given to women. One day when a friend was admiring her jewels, which were valuable and beauti- ful, though not numerous, she said: "I had no beauty to bring these gifts to me from others-I bought them myself. " The grim humor, not merely ef tone, but of expression, perceptible as she spoke, while holding the jewels up to the light, can be understood by the few who knew her well,
