SILVER WEDDING.
Mrs. and Mrs. j. 1hornDerg,,, 1rinneapo,is

Mrs. and Mrs. j. IhOrnbergJt, MinneapoIis.
Among the many pleasant events which
it has been our pleasure to speak of during
| the gay indoor season just closing, nothing
| has made more enjoyable mark on our
| memory for reflection; nor seemingly an
affair so heartily full of delight to the partici-
pating guests than the twenty-fifth, or silver
wedding anniversary celebration of Mr.. and
| Mrs. John Thornburgh, of Minneapolis. And
| quite an event this twenty-ffth anniversary
is too when one stops to think moment.
1t is not the happy fortune of every one of
us to count the good round one score and a
quarter together; to have heard g Time tells
his tales" over and over again for five and
twenty times; and with the possession of
good health, be able to look forward to per-
haps repetition of the same number of hap
Ply years-doubling the figure and making
the grand and prime old half hundred.
The delightful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thornburgh on Twelfth street south, was
well filled with joyous party of their friends
| last Friday evening, and a royal celebration
was made of it too.
The happy faculty which both host and
hostess evinced in heartily and informally
assuring every one in attendan of their
welcome, made the entire party at once at
home and as well acquainted as half a
dozen neighbors.
There were congratulations and good
wishes from many absent friends, and vol
ume could not tell those offered by the per-
sons present Music, dancing, games anda
superb supper served to make the evening a
delightful one never to be forgotten.
The presents which generally are identical
with such an occasion were many and hand

AMUSEM EN- rs.
Recie,c of the Week-F,nure Engagements
Emerson Characterization Ideals
-DyQ1natic Notes,

The past week has been fairly filled with
good things, dramatically, although for some
time past there has been lamentable dearth
of downright novelty. The week opened at
the Grand with "Hazel Kirke," the beauties
of which both in point and plot, construction
and acting has been already lauded to the
skies. 1t is an excellent drama, and had the
merit of being well played by the Madison
Square company.
In one sense of the word, the patrons Of
amusements in St. Paul have been given a
treat during the past week, although not of
dramatic character. Reference is made TO
the appearance of the Emerson Concert COM
pany at the Grand. The engagement closed
last night, and it proved highly successful.
The company possesses several bright and
versatile musicians and singers, and they
were ably supplemented by the members OF
the G.. A. R., Post, who have established a
record that cannot fail to excite admiration.

THE License Law.

CHICAGO, March 2s.-The supreme court
of Illinois has decided, that 103 saloon Hcen-
ses granted by this city, just prior to the

The Boston Ideals.

Commencing tomorrow night witnesses
the return to st. Paul of the ever popular
and talented Boston Ideals. The Ideals play
a three nights'engagement at the Grand, with
the Bohemian Grip performance at the
Wednesday matinee. The company returns
to st. Paul with all the old favorites, and the
repertory is an exceedingly attractive one.
The repertory and artists in the casts for
the engagement are as follows:

chance is to get away as quickly as possible,
and when you get to a shady place, philoso-
phiZe upon the matter. If you are honest
with yourself youwill agree that the above is
fair diagnosis of the case and that you at
tempted to get something for nothing.
The experience of the disappointments, or
April fools of life is not pleasant, but it is
like the toad which though as the dramatist
tells US, is ugly, and venomous, bears yet a
precious jewel in his head. So it is with
these disappointments of life at which
we rail and make such ugly faces. They
are good little angels that come along just in
time to close the door and prevent US from
going in where we ought not to go. The little
trick that the small boy plays when he nails
the empty pocket book to the sidewalk, if we
would heed the lesson, would save us from
many pang of remorse, and deep humilia-
ton. When one attempts to get something
for nothing the effort is based upon fraud,
trickery, general dishonesty and cheating,
characteristics that no man is willing to own
that he possesses. Yet no amount of protes-
tation can disguise the fact if you once
stoop to pick up that little pocket book. The
act itself convicts you. Now it is the Office
of these April fools, these painful disappoint-
ments of life, to teach human beings not to
be tempted to make such breaks from the
paths of rectitude and virtue, and to always
keep their little wayward feet well within the
straight and narrow path. OF course, it is
admitted in the beginning that the natural
tendency of the little feet is to get outside of
this narrow path and that one has to keep
continual guard over them. If this was not
SO, if there was no tendency
to wander from the right,
and to get something for nothing there
would be no duty in life for the April fools
to perform, and their kind offices in helpin g
US to avoid greater misfortunes would not be
needed. The following little poem illus
trates the views we have endeavored to in
culcate, and shows what horrid misfortune
the little April fool saved him from:
THE APRIL FOOL.
Fair was her young and girlsh face,
Her lips were luscious red as vino
Her wilowy form betrayed grace
That seemed to me to be divine
One evening at the trysting-place
l asked this maiden to be mine.
Unhappy, thrice-unhappy youth
- Was to court the crushing blow
But why delay the awful truth
O., She April-fooled me years ago!
Filled with ghastly, grim dismay,
AS kneeling at her feet heard
This fair but cruelangel say
That last, unhappy severing word,
luttered hopelessly away
Like some forlorn and stricken bird,
For years played cynic's part,
For years 1 nursed my secret woe,
And this reflection CALLED my heart
She April-fooled me years ago!
But she is forty now, and fat,
And vanished all her graces are
And many lusty, brawling brat
Pulls at her skirts and calls her una"
And have information that
Her horrid husband tends bar.
And when see that feeting years
Have changed my quondam angel SO
thank my stars, mid grateful tears,
She ADril-fooled me wears ago.

Stage Fright
From the Boston Transcript
Re.ainn aoma articla


Reading some article upon "stags
fright" and its awful realities, two curl
GUS stories came into mind that had
formerly been related to me. During
the Harrison campaign, at . great po-
ltical meeting at Faneuil Hall, . man
from Tennessee by the name Of Pear
pronounced Pare had expressed . de-
sire tospeak. Accordingly in due time
he was called upon. Graciously rising,
and with apparent eagerness, he came
forward; holding mp one finger 10 his
audience, he began thus:
m-Pear-"
The assembled multitude patiently
waited through long pause for more.
but this was all! Pear had sat down. II
Pear had said nothing to the purpose, he
had said sufficient to make himself keen
" remembered by every one who heard
him, and had in these brief remarks con-
WINGED his hearers that he was something
Of an egotist.
Another case is that of gentleman
of one of our large New England towns.
Being much interested in phrenology,
he proposed to give lecture upon the
subject. The time was announced, q
large audience assembled, ard the
lecturer duly appeared. Upon table
was placed cast of head. Approach
ing this, and laying his hands affec-
tionately npon it, he began: Ladies
and gentlemen-This head"-A long,
long pause. Fixedly but infinitely b
looked at his audience; 80 many heads( y
overcame him. He retired and sat down,
while the people quietly and rather
solemnly dispersed. We need hardly
narrate that the gentleman left town
that evening, and was seen no more
there for an indefinite period.

No fixed rules can be laid down for
the management offarms. The soil Of
one township may be best fitted for
growing some kinds Of grain, while the
adjoining ones can be most profitably
devoted to live stock. No two farms
situated side by side are exactly alike.
Tho distance from market, the demand
for special products, and, not the least,
the individual taste Of the farmer, have
all much weight in determining thes ys-
tenn Of farm management that it is best
to adopt. Those who have given the
most thought 10 this subject are the
slowest to advise any general system to
he applied to every farm. II is like .
garment that is intended to fit all per-
sons and suit none. Every year of
progress made in agricultural knowledge
teaches moro forcibly than previous
ones the truth that farmer must rely
much upon his own intelligence and
judgment in working ont the best sys-
tenn for his own farm. Even in so SEEM
ingly triaing matter - the pruning Of
. grape vine. the wisest vineyardist can
only give general rules, and each grape
grower must adapt them to tho peculiar
tiles of each vino.-Farmer and Dairy

A Western Burial correspondent thinks
it easily possible so TO treat the boys as
to lead them to like the farm life and
suggests the following process:
"Give boy o calf, q colt, chickens or
other stock, and have him understand
that whatever he makes by faithful At
tendance shall he his own. II he is
careless or Indifferent let him suffer the
loss, hut take pains to show him what
he might have made had he been more
faithful and dilligent. A boy who will
take care of litter of pigs, feeding and
watering regularly and caring for in
every way, ifhe is told that when they
are first placed in his keeping that one
of them shall I've his own for his work.
lie will take the greatest interest in the
task.
The field, the garden, the orchard
and the culture of small fruits, afford
ample variety for differences Of DISPOSE
ton. And, by the way it is well that in
nearly every farmers family these differ
ences are found; since the various inter-
ests to he looked after in we'll regulated
rural homes need on this account their
several specialists. But whatever the
inclination of boy may he he should
he fairly and honestly dealt with, and
taught to see and realize it in his own
experience. that there il profit in we'll
managed farm work.
"Treated in this way lie is instructed
and practised in actual business, and
surely this is no small advantage. Be-
sides, he is made to feel that he has an
interest in the farm and the home,
other than that of mere obligation to
stay there. He becomes conscious of the
honor which attaches to business and
ownership. As he grows older he is led
to find in the occupation of the farmer
ample scope for the display of the best
executive or business qualities, and he
will scarcely fail to see the superior ad-
vantages and pleasures Of q peaceful
country life"
There is nothing novel in this plan,
but its educational influence in the right
direction can scarcely he overestimated.
