For Your Brothers. Sake. .

A good story is told by the Providence
journal of a gentleman's mistake while
on the way to the Inauguration at w ash
ington, in March, 1881. Between New
York and Philadelphia he took seat
beside portly gentleman, and CONVEX
sation began.
Politics were mentioned, and the
Rhode Islander said he was Republi-
can, and thought last fall that it would
not be well for the country to have
change, but that he had brother who
was a Democrat.
Soon the train stopped at station,
and the Rhode Islander stepped to the
platform and met an acquaintance, who,
after little space, remarked:
General Hancock is Oh this train,
and, as l am acquainted with him, per-
haps you would like an introduction
OF course he would; so they entered
the car, and approached the portly gen.
tleman just left; the Rhode Islander
was introduced to the General. With
twinkle of the eye, General Hancock
said:
81 viii shake hands with you for your
brothers sake

What an Old Man Noticed.

I have noticed that all men are honest
when well watched.
/ have noticed that purses will hold
pennies as well rs pounds.
/ have noticed that in order to be a
reasonable creature. it is necessary at
times to be downright mad.
/ have noticed that some men are SO
honest that necessity compels them to
be dishonest in the end.
/ have noticed that silks, broadcloths
and jewels are often bought with other
peoples money.
| have noticed that whatever is, is
right, with few xceptions-the left
eye the left leg and the left side of
plum pudding.
/ have noticed that the prayer of a
selfish man is, Forgive us our debts"
while he is making everybody that owes
him pay to the utmost farthing.
/ have noticed that he who thinks
every man rogue. is very certain to
see one when he shaves himself. and he
ought, in mercy to his neighbor, to sur
render the rascal to justice.
/ have noticed that money is the FOOLS
wisdom, the knave's reputation, the
poor mans desire, the covetous mans
ambition, and the idol of all.
| have noticed that all men speak well
of all mems virtues when they are dead,
and that tombstones are marked with
the epitaphs of the good and virtuous.
Is there any particular cemetery where
the bad are buried.

VerdictS.

The verdiets of juries pass all under
standing. We remember the famous
verdict of aaWelsh jury: Not guilty
but we recommend him not to do it
again" Mackenzie relates that an
English jury, not very bright. having
prisoner before them charged with bur-
glary, and being unwilling to convict
him capitally, as no personal violence
accompanied the robbery, gave the ver-
dict: Guilty of getting out of the win
dow" He adds that the most original
was that of an Irish jury before whom
prisoner pleaded guilty, throwing HIM
self on the mercy of the court The
verdict was: '.Not guilty" The judge,
in surprise, exclaimed: why, he has
confessed his crimer' The foreman
responded: ssAh. my lord, you do not
know that fellow, but ace do. He is
the most notorious liar in the whole
country, and no twelve men who know
his character can believe a word that
he says" And as the jurors adhered
to their verdict. the ..liar' escaped. A
remarkable verdict was once given by a
New York jury. The case was that of
q Young woman who was heartlesSly de-
serted BY her husband. q butcher. She
finally discovered him at slaughter
house talking to a woman, who wore at
the moment what she recognized as her
own best dress, which she had bought
with her own earnings before marriage.
He refused to talk with her. The next
morning he WAS seen to take a proffered
cake from the hands of a young woman,
divide it with some companions, and in
a few hours was dead, his companions
being taken very sick. hut surviving
The police, investigating the matter,
found that the deceased had three wives,
or rather three women supposed them
selves his wives. All three were arrest
ed, but two were speedily released, as
our heroine admitted that she had done
the business. The case for the defense
was weak, but only after q few minutes
absence the jury returned with a yer-
dict of not guilty. The prisoner coun-
sci asked one of the jurors on what
ground she had been acquitted. 1T
served him right was the answer
Evidently these men beloved in poeti-
cal justice.

Bed and Bedrooms.

careful housewife remarks: Bed
and bedding need especial care; on fine
days keep Your sleeping room windows
open several hours, if possible, and if
not conspicuous. leave your beds un-
made, and let pillows and mattresses air
in the sun. Thoroughly examine the
bedstesd out the stats, which You
will probably find covered with dust
accumulated dust will also be found on
the Stats of the spring beds. Wipe this
off with salt and water. Salt dissolved
in very little water should be put on
with p small paint brush in all the cor
ners of the bedstead. to prevent yermin
from finding place. If;by any chance,
they are already there, this must be re-
peated as often as twice a week, until
they are exterminated Also wipe the
edges of the mattresses well with cloth

should meet this matter promptly, and

Real Politeness.

Is it thou9htlessness or selfishness that
makes so many neglect the little court
estes (abrQad and at honey which cost
next to nothing and which always make
others happy? The habit of such gentle
attentions is a grace that comes by cul-
tivation as we'll as by nature, and every
one should covet it earnestly among the
| best gifts. The following little story will
| illustrate what we mean:
| A boy about / years of age, a cripple
| by paralysis from infancy, was being
carried by his mother from the cars to
the ferry at Jersey City. just as they
were leaving the train a quiet, unassum-
| ing gentleman came to them, saying,
THAT boy seems too heavy q burden
for you; will you allow me to carry
himp''
The mother gladly assented, and the
little fellow put his arm about the
strangers neck and was carried to the
boat and placed carefully in good seat,
and there left with his mother until the
boat had crossed, when the gentleman
returned to his charge, and with smile
that fingers still upon the memory, and
kind words that soothed and comforted,
carried the boy to the waiting-room in
the New York Depot.
There, on being assured that he.could
be of no further assistance. he babe the
boy goodbye, and left him, speaking
cordially as he passed out to an elderly
gentleman who was just entering.
The grateful boy beckoned to this
elderly gentleman and asked, sCan you
give me the name of the gentleman to
whom you just spoke?'
THAT is Bishop James, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church"
The above is from Ridgeway's Life
of Bishop james, and the fact is added
that though the lad had not been brought
up to reverence .'Methodists'' or 1--WE in
fer)ministers, or even Christians. as such,
his feelings underwent change from
that time forth. He never recovered the
use of his limbs, but be became Christ
ian himself, and was able to bear his
affection patiently. That one act of
graceful kindness by the good Bishop
was a saving incident in the cripple's
life Youths Companion.
