Mr.. Jacob kunkel, the junior men,
Der of the firm of kunkel Brothers, died
recently. He was one of the most
artistict musicians resident in the United

melody and exquisitely harmonized,
had made him famous as writer Of
piano music far beyond the limits of
the United States. AS a solo pianist he
was poetic in his interpretations, be-

of Gottschalk, and his duo playing with

Redeemed from Death.

This story is authentic. 1t is found
| in the memories of a Prussian officer of
distinction. who gives q. simple, unaf-
fected narrative of the scene and events
through which he passed. and who be-
trays nowhere the least disposition to
exaggerate. The following remarkable
incident he gives as it came under his
own observation. He was at the time
on the staff of General Winterfeld, one
of the most skilled and competent Cap
tains of the day, and Winterfeld was
| the General in command at the time
spoken OF. Two soldiers had been con-
demned to death. In drunken condi-
ton at night they had assaulted an
officer of the line, and one of them had
drawn knife upon him, but which one
could not be told. The officer had seen
the knife, but he could not positively
say which of the twain held it. And
the men themselves did not know.
Neither of them remembered anything
about it. So both of them were con-
demned to be shot. They were excel
lent soldiers, and only one had been
OF the division, including him who had
been assaulted, asked that they might
be pardoned. Atlength Winterfeld said
he would pardon one of them. Only
one had held knife, and only that
one ought to die. He would
pardon one, and the men must
themselves decide which of them
should be shot. How should the
decision be made? Let us shake the
dice" said one of the condemned. And
the other agreed to it. And anon it was
agreed to by all interested. The two
men took their places by the side of
big drum, and were to throw the dice
upon its head. Two dices were given
them and proper box for shaking. The
first man threw two skies. He groaned
in agony. He felt that he had consigned
his comrade to death. But when the
second came to throw he also threw two
skies. Wonderful! cried lockers on.
They were ordered to shake and throw
again. This time the second man threw
tirst-two aces. ''Ho! Good. You will
live, Peter But when Peter came to
throw, the dice presented the same two
aces. And now the beholders were
wonder-stricken indeed. Another
threw was ordered and Peter threw
five and a deuce. The other threw five

again subsidized the men shook once
more. The first threw two TOURS. "Oh!
now throw five and save yourself,
Peter" / Peter threw two tours. At
this point the, Colonel ordered them to
stop. He went and reported the mar
velous result to Winteriield Said he:
.'s'ClearlN General, Providence will have
those two men to be saved;'' and saved
they were. The General dared not OPP,

did seem providential and SO he ac-

FOR Il WARNING.

I can tell just how it happened, though it's
fifty years ago,
And sometimes think it curious that can
remember so;
For though things that lately happened slip
my mind, and fade away,
am sure that l shall never lose the memory
of that day. ......
Job was coming to Thanksgiving-so he wrote
us in the Fall;
He Ezra oldest brother and his fayorte
of them all.
We'd been keeping house since April but I
couldn't always tell
When my pie-crust would be faky, or the pOul-
try roasted well;
So felt little worried-if the truth must be
confessed
At the thought of Ezra's brother coming as our
household guest.
Just week before Thanksgiving Ezra rode
one day tn town,
AS l needed things for cooking-hour and
sugar, white and brown;
And worked like any beaver all the time he
was away.

ing holiday. |..E

he ought to know; la.
But he turned as white as marble when he
heard me speaking So
Not word ne said in answer, but he started
for the door,
And in less than half minute gallopcd down
the road once more
Then nearly cried my eyes out, what with
grief and fear and shame;
He was good and kind and patient; l was all
the one to blame.
And the hours wore on till midnight, and my
heart seemed turned to stone,
AS listened for his coming while sat there
all alone.
With the daylight came neighbor; ezra has
been hurt he said;
Found beside the road unconscious; taken
up at first for dead
just behind him came four others, with a bur
den slowly brought;
AS stood and dumbly watched them you can
guess of all thought!
Oh, the days and nights that followed! Ezra
lived, but that was all;
And with fearless eyes waited for the worst
that might befall.
Wandering in a wild delirium, broken phrases
now and then
Dropped from fevered lips, and told me what
his painful thoughts had been.
So THANKSGIVING dawned upon us. Job came
early, shocked to meet
Such a broken hearted woman for the bride he
hoped to greet.
Not a word we spoke together in that hushed
and Swallowed room,
Where we waited for the twilight darkening
down to deeper gloom;
For the doctor said that morning: There is
nothing more to do;
If he lives till after sunset, /, perhaps, can pull
him through
Just as five o'clock was striking, Ezra woke
and feebly stirred; -.r.
"Did you get the sugar. darling?' were the
words family heard.
How cried! You can't imagine how felt to
hear him speak, ..a, ata IA. AN.
Or to see his look of wonder as bent to kiss
his cheek.
Well, I've told long, long story-Ezra's com-
ing up the walk
But. I've had purpose in it; wasn't just for
idle talk.

your quarrel up with Gray?

Healthy Jews.

Bodily cleanliness isicertainly not the

yet in Petticoat Lane and other, equally
unsavory localities, they are far more
plump and well-looking than their So
called Christian neighbers. Some Of the
Jewish emigrants from Russia have
lately been described as indescribably
filthy, yet Of exceptionally vigorous vi.
tally. Of course, If this vitality is due
simply to the fact Of their being of jew
ish race, other races can learn nothing
useful from the; fact.f { But is it not
more likely that this power of living
and looking blooming and healthy in
uninvitings localities IS due to the Jew
ish domestic life? They are very care
full in the selection and preparation Of
their food, and, as rule; they live
more regular, orderly family lives than
many Of their neighbors. London
