Couldn't Beat the Widow.

A Pennsylvania man being very sick,
with no hopes of recovery, made his
wife promise to have his remains ere.

and the weeping widow carried out
his wish, although much against her
inclinations, "a she was amply able to
have a firstcass funeral II viii take
a long time to reconcile most people To
the idea of having the dear departed
incineraitd; in fact 1t can never become
really popular.
In due time the manager of the
reducing furnace called on the widow
with handsome little ebony casket
containing the residuum nf what had
once been her John. and handed It To
her with the bill, which was $50 The
widow raised the cover, gazed long
and sorrow rully at the dust, dropped
4 pearly tear from each eye thereon,
then tonk crochet needle and care
fully poked around in the ashes, and
then said:
II hate to mention the subject, but
business is business Not very long
previous TO Mr.. BIS death he had n
full set Of upper teeth put in on gold
plate. There WAS about $15 worth of
gold by actual weight, as he weighed
the set, and allowed for the weight of
the teeth, just out of curiosity, to see

He also had on a heavy gold ring Of

The blast furnace man flushed a
little, and replied something about
perquisites, and il being customary to
return only the ashes of the deceased,
when he was interrupted with the fol.

Prerequisites nothing! You should

thus spared me the disagreeabe task
Of asserting my rights. Not a cent

gold at full market rates on the bill.
And more than that, if you refuse,

placed the caskel on the clock ahelf,

Result OF the Vice ,surrsi

One of the results of the exposure of
numerous social scandals appears TO
exist in a social reign of terror. Many
of our public men complain of heing
daily assailed by anonymous letters,
threatening an exposure of their
alleged vicious practices. while the
same may be said to prevail in private
circles. The action Ot the Social
Purity Society and the Salvation Army
In watching private individuals and
meaning and mcnacing an exposure cf
their movements, seems likely, how.
ever, To receifea decisive check by the

Oh. her cheeks were rosy red
As the cherries over head,
And the strawberries below;
And her throat was white as snow,
As she turned to me and said;
You may 60"
Then answered: You are queen,
Standing stately and serene.
In your haugh'y royal pride:
Yet care not how you chide-
Dread not your defiant mien

Persons whose pavements and

have them repaired at once, before
the ground becomes frozen, else it
will be impossible to render, them
solid before next spring. There is no

pavement, such as necessarily follow
winter repairing. We observe that in

the Navy, Capt +. M. Ramsay
superintendent of the Naval Academy
recommends that permits should be
issued to candidates year in advance
of their admission, and that they
should report for examination by the
18th of May. 1t is also recommended
that changes be made in legislation
by which the selection of different
corps may take place at the COM
pletion of the four years course IN
stead of after the six years course,
as at present, and that certain legisla-
tive provisions for the Military
