for Mr. Skinner never went out
OH Sundays without his family.
"He said he was going where

tie Harry Skinner.
eWell, we won't wait dinner

sat down to eat.
Buta spell seemed to have fall
en- upon them, and when the din
ner was over and cleared away,
and they were in the sitting.room

with their books, there was a
sense Of dreary. loss, and Mrs.
Skinner sat with the Bible open
on her lap, and wondered why
he had gone out and remember
ed that he had looked queer.
1t was in consonance with her
habits of living that she got up
in the middle of these specula-
tions to catch a wondering aud
belated fly and induce him to be
annihilated.
"strange~ she said, as 1t grew
dark. "I'll take the children and
go down to his mothers and see
if he is there, and if he is, I'll
just give him a piece of my

mother said Lot had looked bad.
Fly the last time she saw him, and
she thought he seemed worried;
hoped it wasn't business troubles.
No, it wasn't business troubles;
Mrs. Skinner knew that, and she
began to wonder if she had clean
ed her husband out of his mind.
ut came over her with sudden
force that she had been in the
habit of driving him from pillow
to post at railroad speed and at
the end of a broom or dust brush.
He actually found no rest for the
sole of his foot in his own house.
II might have worked upon his
nervous system until he had be-
come suddenly insane. Horrible
thought! lie might have com
mitted suicide.
She hurried home with the
children. All was gloom. She
went to his bureau to look fol
ibis razor. 1t was the only fire
arms he possessed-it was gone!
Then Mrs. Skinner broke down
aud cried, and the children cried
and it was indeed a scene of desc,
lation, when suddenly the door Of
that horrible parlor opened. and
an apbarition-no it was Mr.
Skinner himself-stood befor,
them looking very sheepish.

Domestic Happiness.

Domestic happiness has intrinsic worth
it may be realized in poverty: it is eter-
nal: above the control Of circumstance,
Such happiness is the flower of paradise
that has been suffered to stray beyond
its walls, and though with us it does not
bloom in original perfection, yet its BIOS
SONS, as we may gather them, are too
lovely to leave us in doubt whether it is
worth our culture. Of all earthly goods
this is Heavens best gift to man. Whilst
there is no other kind of JOY that can
compensate for its absence, it may alike
rild the mud walls of the cabin, or shed
vitality and warmth over the cold state
Of the palace There is no condition of
life to which it may not add untold price.
Mpnarclls there have been who have
heard the eXultinc shout of victory, have
Joined it for Il nIOiIcnt, then lnWartilV
sighed: rebellious SONS were Il thorn III
the heart whose ranking prick was fe.t
to kill all joy Merchants may have ~
massed their millions: their names NAV
have beon honored in various parts Of
the globe. but in moment, when success
and security have attended some favorite
scheme of hazardous enterprise, in all the
bitterness of anguish the soul has whis-
perel; This is but mockery to him who
would ask it to atone for the absence Of
domestic love" Poets have lived whose
brows have been wreathed by .fascina-
tednatlon, but whose spirits have loathed
the laurels,. for thorns grew at home.
But never monarch, merchant, nor poet
found domestic bliss joy too much. He
who has once possessed il would not bar
ter it for all on earth besides.

WILL CLEVELAND MARRY
The Prospective Lady Of the
White House Under the
New Administration.

Albany special to Philadelphia Times
Here it is regarded as settled that Gov.
Cleveland is the next president, and al
ready the gossips are busy with conjec-
tnres as to who will be the lady of the
White House. There is well defined
belief among his friends that there is a
young lady in western New York who
will soon be led to the altar by the
president elect. Others who have known
hin, long and well say that he will never
marry. and that this talk simply comes of
the fact that he has shown this young
lady some slight attention since he was
elected governor. Early in life his hopes
and ambitions for wife were crushed by
the hand of death, and his affection for
the lost one has kept him treadlng the
wine-press of life alone. If the reports
that he is to marry are not true, then his
own immediate family will furnish the
lady to do the social honors of his ad-
ninistration.
1t is generally believed by those who
know him best that there will be less
festivities during his term of Office than
there have been for MANY years past. He
has been hard-working governor, and
will probably continue his industrious
habits as president. Bachelor as he is.
the White House will, however, have a
most creditable mistress. There ale four
ladies in his immediate family, either of
whom can well do the honors Of the
household. His eldest sister in this
country, Mrs W. f. Hoyt, Of Fayettes-
vile, would fill any position with credit.
She is middle-aged lady Of pleasing
!, ldress, who has spent good deal OF
time at the executive mansion here since
her brother has been governor. She has
made many friends here in the capital Of
the State, and will doubtless do the same
in Washington, where she will probably
90 the 4th of next March. Miss r. f.
Cleveland is the maiden sister. She still
resides IN the little home cottage at Hol-
land Patent, just above Utica. A good
public speaker, a quick conversationalist
and generally plain woman of intel
Icctual force, she would do her share in
entertaining her brothers guests at the
national capital Mr.. Cleveland has
sister who for twenty years has been a
missionary at Ceylon.' She has two
charming young lady daughters, Mary
and Carrie Hastings, whom the governor
has been for years educating in this
country. He has given them every ad-
vantage, and they have improved them
They will no doubt be part of their
uncles family circle at Washington, as
tllev have been at times here.
With Mrs. Hoyt, or any one OF the
three other ladies spoken of, the social
end of the first Democratic administrs-
ton for a quarter of century will be
well sustained, even should the presi-
tlent-elect continue bachelor.
