Mr.. Blaine's SOn.in.laVF.

There is good deal OF nonsensical talk about
Col. COppinger, the husband of Alice Blaine,
going the rounds Of the press. That Coppn-
gers marriage to Miss Blaine should have de-
veloped in him subject for the paragraphers
wit and censure is lamentable. That he has
gray hair, that he is handsome, and that he is
fifty years old, does not warrant the criticism
and abuse he is receiving. The respect and adj
m!rattOn for the young bride, who welded i'm
opposition to sentiment, should at least protect
her choice against rebuke. Coppinger with all
the faults which the gossiping world develop
In man of his years and mode of life, is
not bad fellow. He is brave and generous,
and beneath all austere armor, which is the crea-
ton OF long years of military discipline and
hardshlps, he possesses a warm heart and a
kindly nature. He has been a convivial spirit
at both the feast and the sideboard. and as an
entertainer he has earned reputation among
ms feliow-ofiicers throughout the entire service
While being an eXacting cOmmandant on mill
tary duty, his severity never Obtruded itself
into his social circle. His military harshness
never interfered with his hospitality and when
the circumstances warranted it the private SOL
dier in his command was always as welcome to
his good cheer as heequal or superior officer
When COppinger was stationed at Camp Verde
Arizona, as the captain Of one of the companies
Of the 23d infantry in 1872. the writer happened
to be the witness Of an incident that illustrates
the character and disposition of the man. A
band OF recruits arrived one day, filed with tear
and terror Of the officer under whom thew
were to serve for the ensuing five years. Re-
port and rumor had pictured Coppinger to them
as being pirate captain and prosecutor of
the rank and file. Coppinger, attired in suit
OF clothes that might have distinguished team
ster, was in the suffers store when one OF the
recruits entered. 81 would like to see this Capt
Coppinger," said the recruit. understand he's
hard man." Everybody present expected Cop
pinger to annihilate the new -cOmer, but he did
not. On the contrary, he engaged him in pleas
ant conversation. in which Capt. Coppinger was
abused In a manner that caused his listeners to
fear that the private would be punished for his
temerity. Finally, when the vocabulary was ex-
hausted, COppinger introduced himself to the
astounded soldier. ~ hope you will think bet
ter Of what you have said," remarked the Cap
tain as he turned to leave "Well, see here" re-
piled the recruit, II suppose this means guard
house and ball and chain for me, but If have to
die for it must insist that, according to all re-
ports, you are - tyrant." CoppInger looked
the fellow in the eye minute. 81 like your
courage" he said, when at length he broke the
silence. The recruit was soon after commissioned
as corporal.

grievances disappear when Liquid

made fresh and everybody

How darksome the chamber Is growingl
My eyes, they are blinded with tears.
My breath falls; come, raise me up gently,
Dear Robin, so tender ana true.
Clasp closely; how fist my hearts beating,-
The heart that beats only for you.

RESTAURANTS very often
have bad coffee, since they are
compelled to keep coffee ready
for use all day and part Of the
night, and csEnot make it fresh
more than three or four times.
The coffee must necessarily boil
q long time and lose it's strength
and aroma. From this comes the
many complaints Of restaurant
coffee. which. by standing, some
times has q peculiar taste. This
can be remedied by msking each
cup fresh, which c. only be done

The Bottom Drawer.

In the best chamber OF the house,
Shut up in dim, uncertain light,
There stood an antique chest OF drawers,
or foreign wood. with grasses bright
one morn woman frail and gray
Steppd tOtteringly across the floor
LET H." said she. the light OF day
"TIeD, Jean, unlock the bottom drawer."
The girl, In all youths loneliness,
kneit down with eager, curious face;
Perchance she dreamt Of Indian silks,
OF jewels, and OF rare old lace
But when the summer sunshine fell
Upon the treasures boarded there,
The tears rushed to her tender eyes,
Her heart Was solemn as prayer.
"Dear Grandmamma!" she softly Si0hd.
Lifting withered rose and palm;
But on the elder face was naught
But sweet content and peaceful calm.
Leaning upon her STAN. she gazed
Upon baby'S hall-wOrn shoe:
A little frOek OF finest lawn;
A hat with tiny bows OF blue
4 ball, made fifty years ago;
little glove; a taSsePd cap;
A half-dOne long division sum;
Some school books faSten'd with strap.
She touched them all with trembling lips
"Ah, Jean! i thought that should die
The day that first laid them there
"
"But now II seems so good to know
mat all throughout theS' weary years
1neir hearts have been untOuch'd by grief,
Their eyes have been unStained by tears.
Dear Jean, We See with clearer sight,
When earthly love is almost DER.
Those chiliren wait me In the skies,
For whom lOck'd that sacred drawer"
