A, T, STEWARDS BRIDE.

About sixty years ago Cornelis Clinch
was one of the prettiest girls in New ork.
She and her brother, who afterwards be-
came Collector of the port, were the chill
dren of a ship chandler, who was very
rich, as wealth was reckoned in those
days. He lived in big house on Duane
street, then one of the most fashionable
parts of the city. Old Clinch was SELF
made man, and thought every other man
ought to be the architect of his own tor
tunes. So he frowned away every wealthy
fop who came to WOO Cornelia, and sent
her regularly to school to learn to be
sensible, useful woman. And his ideas
were respected, for he had terrible tenn.
per when he was crossed. There is still
standing near Stuyvesant square, little
old-fashioned church known as st. Mark 8.
In those days it was away out of the city
in the green fields. But every Sunday old
Clinch went up there with his pretty
daughter One day young Stewart saw
them. On his side it was clearly case OF
love at first sight. He began attending
church there regularly. Then he became
Cornelia's acquaintance, and, as he was
poor but industrious, the old man smiled
upon him and invited him to call and take
dinner with them. After while Stewart
asked Cornelia a very interesting question,
and she, like good girl, blushed and said
"Y -e-s,s-if papa says So" Then Stew
art interviewed old Clinch, and he said
"Want to marry Nellie, Ell? Think she:
got rich father, Ell And you'd like tc
come in for share of his earnings, Ell"
"No, sir g; you needn't leave her or me
a cent. I'll soon be richer than you, any
way"
''You will, will you? Well, like that
Go ahead and take her, then, and Heaven
bless you both,
So the young folks, who were tremend,
ously in love with each other, were married
and went to live in modest little cottage
on Reade street, and were glad to be able
to cover the floors with rag carpet. Ole
people who knew them there tell me that
they lived an almost ideally happy life
They studied each others happiness in al
things, and consulted with each othel
about every detail of household or business
affairs and became two souls with but {
single thought, two hearts that beat a.
one, good deal more completely thar
most couples nowadays. -[New York Cor

A RIVER ONCE FIFTEEN MILES BROAD.

At the annual meeting of the Connecti-
cut Valley Historical Society, Professor
William North Rice of Wesleyan Univer-
sity addressed the society on the subject
of the terraces and flooded plains of the
Connecticut river valley. In the course of
his address he said: By a study OF the
terraces formed by this maximum flood we
conclude that the Connecticut river must
have been stream of $50 feet deep and Is
miles broad for that part of its valley be-
tween Northampton and Meriden that is,
besides the present river, another stream
flowed south from Northampton, west OF
Mount Tom, having a slight communi-
cation with the main stream through the
Westfeld river and the Pennington. In
deed the second stream may have had a
separate mouth at New Haven. The broad
river valley may be accounted for, first by
subsistence of the land progressively in
creasing toward the rivers source COM
parison of the shell beds of Montreal, 500
feet above sea level, with those near the
Sound, but little above salt river, shows
that subsistence of one foot and quarter
to a mile would give the river water an ap-
parent rise of sixty-two feet The second
theory which accounts for the great vol
ume of water necessary to fill SO vast a
river basin is the melting of a glacier the
former presence of a glacier over New Eng
land and the northern middle States is
shown by bowlder scratchings and by ter.
minal morains, the tools and the chips OF
glacial flow, and both geography and as
tronomy how that glacier might have
occupied this section of the country. As
to the time of the glacial period, and the
time when the valley terraces were formed,
geology says, judging by the wearing OF
the channel of the Niagara Falls, about
80, 900 years, and astronomy makes it a
matter of 200, 600 years. But whichever
approximates nearest to truth, the period OF
glacier making was about the time of mans
appearance on the earth, and both animal
and vegetable life were much as they are
now, yet the epoch is quite modern with
reference to the ages of geological time
which preceded it-LCOnoord Statesman.

AN ELEPHANT STORY.

Waterman. From some cause he was absent

elephant to give him an apple, for we were
the best of friends. He was one of the
largest elephants l ever saw, and was as
good natured as he was large.

INDIAN CONJURERS The performances
by the Davenport Brothers and other Spir-
itualists are clumsy compared with the arts
of the Northwest Indians. The conjurers
are legion who will permit themselves to
be bound, not merely hand and foot, but
the whole body swathed with thongs,
withes, ropes and raw hides, and sfterward
tied in net, and then release themselves
almost instantly on being placed in little
medicine lodge" of skins constructed for
the purpose, the bonds being thrown out
through an opening in the top, without
knot apparently disturbed. DR.. Archie
Stockwell writes that he recently saw
medicine man go through with long series
of incantations, drumniDgs, ratings of
gourds, etc, for the relief of consump-
tive, lying in the center of an ordinary
lodge. Suddenly he announced that he
had discovered the spirit that afflicted the
sufferer, and thereupon, plunging his hands
beneath the single blanket with which she
was covered drew forth the carcass of
full grown wolf, and flung it with great vi
olence against the door, greatly to the de-
light, mystifcation and satisfaction of the
beholders. He now assured the friends of
the speedy recovery of the squaw, but she
died the same night nevertheless.-[W Wa.

DO BIRDS THINK ?

"Do birds think Let me tell you of
little bird once owned. The little bird
was female hooking bird who had a nest
of young ones about week old The
baby birds were never healthy, inheriting
weakness from their father, who had
asthma. Early one morning | was awak-
ened by the mother bird standing on my
pillow pouring into my ear the most mourn
full notes | ever heard. knew something
was wrong and arose at once. The mother
flew to her nest, then looked to see If | was
following, which ] was. AS soon as l had
reached the nest she took hold of one of
the baby birds wings, pinched it gently
with her beak and watched it eagerly, L
think, to see if it moved. Then she took
hold of one of the little feet and pinched
it in the same manner, and, finding it did
not move, she looked up at me In plead
ing way,ias if she wanted me to waken
them. l reached my hand out toward the
nest. She stood aside and looked on with
as much interest and feeling as any young
human mother.
81 examined the lifeless little bodies,
and when l withdrew my hand the
mother FASTENED to hover over the little
ones, seeming to think that if she could
warm them they would awaken. In
few moments she hoped off the nest
looked at her babies, held food close to
their mouths and ceaxed and called them,
but in vain. She flew all around the
room, as if in search of some untried
remedy. Several times she perched on
my shoulder, and looked so distressed and
pitiful l could scarcely keep from crying.
l put her in cage and hung her in the
sunshine to see if she would become
quiet She took a bath, but still re-
manned nervous and seemed anxious, and
by and by grew so restless l had to take
her out of the cage and let her 60 to the
nest again.
"She stood quite while looking ct her
dead children. Then she went all over the
little bodies, pinching them gently and
watching them closely to see if they moved.
When she saw no signs OF life she seemed
puzzled. She seemed at least to make up
her mind the little ones were dead. And
one by one she lifted them tenderly in her
beak and laid them side by side in the
middle Of the room. She looked at them
lovingly moment, then few to her empty
nest and gazed wonderingly into that. FL
nally she perched on my shoulder and
looked into my eyes, as if to ask What
does all this mean? What lesson of love
and devotion that little bird taught She.
always fed the little ones before taking a
mouthiul herself, and sometimes she would
stand cosxing them to take one more mouth
full, and finding they had enough would
swallow it herself. ~ Chicago Times.

PLANETARY INFLUENCES. "A writer who
has studied the planets, with view to as.
pertaining the influence they have over
people, claims that people never agree in
marriage whose horoscopes are antagon-
istic, and among the Hindoos and some
other nations, even to this day, the astrol-
oyer is consulted to determine whether
there is a complete sympathy between the
positions of the sun, moon, Venus and
Mars in the respective nativities, and if
their relative positions are not found to
agree, the projected match is broken off
Women who have the sun or the western
angle afflicted by Uranus, Saturn or Mars
at birth, should never enter wedlock.
When they do so under these conditions,
misfortune is certain to result. Venus
should be free from the cross aspects of
the malefic.

PRESERVING WOOD exchange says
that plan recently introduced into Bel.
GUM for preserving wood from decay pro-
duced by the atmosphere, water, etc, is to
fill the pores OF the wood with liquid gutta.
percha, which is said to effeotually pre-
serve it from moisture and the action of
the sun. The process employed consists
in exhausting the air from the pores of the
wood and filling them with gutta-perchs
solution. In pouring the solution into the
pores, the solid gutta-percha is liquefed
by mixing with parafiine in proportion of
about two-thirds of gutts- percha to one
third of paraffine; the mixture is then
submitted to the action of heat, and the
gutta-percha becomes sufficiently liquid to
be easily introduced into the pores of the
wood. The gutta- perchs, hqueied by this
process, hardens in the pores of the wood
as soon as it becomes cold.

AYERS
Cherry PICTORIAL.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs;
none so triled with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trihing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PECroRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
