After the Heat and Burden OF Life
Long Weary Day.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES lfc--to-n o
A good wife, God bless her"
The words were spoken in trembling
accents over q coffin~lld, The woman
asleep there had borne the heat and
burden Of life's long day, and no one
had ever heard her murmur; her hand
was quick 30 reach out in q helping
grasp TO those who fell by the way-side,
and her feet were swift on errands Of
mercy, the heart of her husband had
trusted in her, he had left her 10 long
hours Of solitude while he amused him
self III scenes in which she had no part
When boon companions deserted him,
when tickle affection se!iishiy depart
cd, when pleasure palled, be went
home and found ller waiting for him.
Come from your long, long rowing,
On LIES sea 50 bleak and rouolj
Come IL nie tender and loving,
And shall be hles; enough"
THAI mad been her love-song al
ways on her lips or in her heart.
Children had been born TO them. She
had reared them almost alone--they
were gone Her hand had led them
TO the nttermost edge of the morning
that has no noon. Then She had com
forted, and sent him ont strong and
whole-hearted, while she stayed 1T
home and-cried. What cana woman
do but cry e-and trust !
Well, she is at rest now. But she.
could not die until he had promised to
"bear up not TO fret, bat to remem-
Der how happy they had been. They Z?
Yes, it was even SO. For she was blest
in giving, and he in receiving. 1t was
an equal partnership, after all. ''She
--was-a-good-w ite-to-me."
Oh, man man! Why not have told
her SO, when her ears were not dulled
by death. Why wait to say these
words over a coffin wherein lies a
wasted, weary gray-hairod woman,
whose eyes have so long held that
pathetic story of loss and suffering and
patient yearning, which so many
women's eyes reveal-to those who
read. Why not have made the wilder
ness of her heart blossom like the rose
with the prodigality of your love 2
Now you would give worlds-were
they yours to give-to see the tears of
JOY your words would have once
caused, bejeweling the closed windows
Of her soul. 1t is too late.
1--WE have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometimes guest
But oft for our own
The bitter tone
Though we love our own the best"

HUSBAND AND WIFE AS CANDIDATES.
"A laughable incident occurred at one
Of the school districts in Londonderry.
n. H., at its recent school meeting.
Two of tho prominent candidates for
the prudential committee were hus-
band and his wife. Some Of the voters
voted for the wife, supposing they were
voting for the husband, not observing
the christian name. When the vote
was declared, it was much to the cha
grin of some of those who voted as
above stated. The wife came out vic
torlous by six majority and has
the position and qualified. She has
already hired the teachers for the sum

A KISS IN COURT.
A Brooklyn Belle Gives Her Sentenced
Lover q Farewell Embrace.

Lover q Farewell Embrace.
When John McElwee, sentimanta.
youth of 20 summers, was arraigned
on charge of striking his sweetheart,
Maggie Andrews, pert and pretty
miss Of 10, he wiped his moist eyes
with his coat sleeve as he said: "You
see, Judge, me and and Maggie has
been keeping company for some time,
and I'm so fond of her that l don't like
to see her at all free with other young
fellows. Last Saturday We took walk
on Grand street, and Maggie giggled
and firted 80 with every fellow we
passed that I couldn't stand it. The
more l growled about it, the more she
laughed at me, and at last | got ex-
cited and Just hit her on the face with
my open hand. She fell off the chair
somehow, and her head came in con-
tact with chair rung. That's how it
happened, and I'm awful sorry, sir;
and | don't think Maggie will press
the charge against me-
Eyes, l will" said Maggie, whose
pretty blue eyes were also filled with
tears, while an ugly bandage hid her
golden tresses. I'm ready to forgive
you, Johnnie, at the proper time, but
doa't think | can quite forgive you
till l know you've had something done
to you for the way you treated me. l
want to see something done to him,
Judge"
Every well, then" said the obliging
magistrate. "John, the offence you
have committed is most unmanly
and brutal one. We send husbands
who beat their wives to the penitent-
larry for three or six months, but !
don't know what punishment could be
too severe for a young man who
thrashes his sweetheart. She should
feel thankful that she found you out in
time, and should while she is still free,
sentence you to Punishment from her
society forever in order that she might
be in no future danger Of a repetition
Of so cowardly an assault upon her.
That, however, is her business. The
sentence of this court is that you be
imprisoned the county Jail for the
term Ct twenty-nine days"
Young McElwee cast despairing
glance at Miss Andrews, who, for her
part, looked as though she wished she
had not insisted upon pressing the
charge against her pugilistic lover.
The youth blubbered aloud, and
tears fell very freely from the blue
eyes Of the pretty maiden. They look
ed at each other for moment. and
then the youth ran with outstretchod
arms to where the girl stood, and in q
second they were locked in farewell
embrace, while their lips met in kiss,
whose resounding smack could be
heard in every corner of the court
room. The young man was hurried
off by the unfeeling officer TO his dun
geon cell, and the girl stood looking
sadly after him until the laughter OF
the courtroom aroused her. She
started up, laughed q little, blushed
deeply, and ran from the room to the
street.-Brooklyn Union.

When General Harrison was in
augurated, he was so full Of the pro-
gress Of the old Roman emperors
along the Appian Way that he re-
fused to ride down Pennsylvania ave,
enue in carriage, but rode on horse
back, hat in hand, bowling acknowledge
ments for the cheers which greeted
him. The weather was very cold.
with sharp northeast wind. yet he
wore neither overcoat nor gloves.
Arriving at the Capitol he delivered
his inaugural address, which occupied
an hour and-a-half, from the platform
built over the eastern steps, standing
bareheaded, while those aroued him,
although covered and we'll wrapped up,
were nearly frozen. When ils had
concluded he remounted his horse and
rode to the White House, escorted by
the military. II Was evident that he
wished to show that he was not feeble,
it hs was old: but all the physicians
expected TO hear that he was siezed
that night by pneumonia, He did not
apparently suffer any i'll effects. but

powers was too much, and his lifeless
remains were escorted along Ponnsyl-
