How She Brought Him Around.

Marriage, SAYS the San Francisco
Chronicle, has long heen considered as
more or less OF ii lottery. 1t is like Il
lottery iu more than the drawing.
Drawing blank once only makes you
20 into it again. The fact is, 10 lose u
husband or draw one she has got to
get rid of is a reflection upon the
woman and wounds her vanity. She
feels she must marry again just to
show it was not her fault, and she is
much ikelier to be happy in the second
venture. The experience of the first
helps her to a better understanding OF
the second, and the unpleasantness of
the loss teaches her to yield very often
where her natural inclination would be
to kick. But there's one woman very
happy now, whose husband probably
will never know that he was brought
up to the scratch in q very simple but
effective way.
Il have come TO ask you il you can
help me to some work, she said. She
was a finely educated, very attractive
woman. My husband has turned out
quite worthless. / have had to leave
him, and / am now compelled 10 sup
port myself.
ah NCiJ SOhLJ' put ALL dL alu
cannot give you any work. Do you
propose to support yourself?"
i've got to"
Look here, that's all nonsense.
You're young, pretty. attractive. Why
don't you marry again."
MARRY again! Never I've had
enough of it."
..Nonsense; you'll have better luck
this time. HaYen't you any admirers?"
10, yes"
ANY one you likep''
Yes. There's one young gentleman
very much gone on me. He's well Off;
has very nice position"
That's the man. You marry him"
"But he's bashful and backward,
and I've got to do something right
away. l have no money"
THAT'S bad"
'.Do you mind assisting me to bring
him to the pointP"
Certainly not. Tell me how, and
I'll be most happy to do anything"
"Well." and she hesitated; If you
wouldn't mind. You see, he's very,
very backward. but he's very fond OF
me, and think he means business.
Now. il you will put on Your best
clothes and come up-you see, he's
coming to call upon me Tonight"
Certainly. I'll call tonight with
pleasure; but"
''Of course shall not tell him you're
married-you understand; and if
you 'l-well, he might get jealous. per-
haps, and that would be something,
you know"
20, see. I'll be there"
So the lady went OFF, and the ad-
wiser dressed himself in gorgeous array
and called at her house. The bashfnl
lover was there. and it was not fifteen
minutes before he got wildly jealous of
the new beau. The rival worked it up
for all it was worth, and when the
backward adorer got to the inhamma-
tory point of jealousy where u fight
was probably imminent the confederate
lit out, left him the field, and in the
brief explanation of the next five min
utes he had committed himself to an
immediate marriage. She deserved
him.

Growing Old Gracefully.

After certain age, varying from so
to 20, men are liable to declaim about
the vanity of things and to have set
tied distaste for pursuits and amuse-
ments which occupied earlier years. II
is a dangerous time. In order to find
relief such men often break up the bus
iness vocations of lifetime and seek
in new experiments the glow and ar
dor which have vanished with youth.
1t is prolific source OF financial fail
ures; often of domestic disruptions;
sometimes leading to suicide or mad
ness. Youth and its passions are not
to be recalled by a change OF locality
or of business. What these people fret
about is simply the departure of youth.
They have not the philosophy 10 adjust
themselves to approaching age and Sc
renely await the end, and they plunge
into chimerical business ventures and
break up homes and seek new lands in
the vain hope of reviving fire which
can never burn brightly again. There
is not one man in dozen, with a fixed
and ample income, who can not with
patience submit himself to the con-
servative dictates of age, and with
books and friends lead a life of inno-
cent pleasure. The struggle is always
to make sixty beat with the impulsive
numbers of thirty. and that can never
be. The wise man will bow the yoke,
and by so doing will cease to feel it.
1t is yoke which all must wear save
those which the Greeks declared were
blessed of the gods because they died
young. g.--Pfttsbltrg Telegraph.

NIcCuItough and Williams,

When the ladies would leave him
alone. which was not often, John was
a good cOmrade and bon yivant. He
liked, above all things. practical joke.
A couple of years ago he struck up Il
great friendship with President Arthur
and his set in Washington, and was
the life of the table at all the diplomat
ic stag parties About that time Gus
Williams was biossomiug out from the
variety to tho regular stage, and had
acquired considerable reputation as e
general raconteur OF funny conceits
and sprightly after-dinner wit.
McCullouIh, VINO had suffered from
several practical jokes played on him
BIZ the Dutch comedian, determined to
take him down and nip his reputation
in the bud lie took John T.. Ray.
mond, Jim Collier, and the political
coterie of Washington into his cont
dcnce, and the game was perfected.
The president gave a little dinner
party, and, among others, Gus VIII
liams was invited. 1t was impressed
on him that he was celebrated at the
white house as very funny fellow.
and he was expected to keep the table
in a roar. He said nothing, but Sc
reported at the dinner table with u
choice budget OF original wiicisms,
which he was sure could not fail 10
make great effect when he got a
chance to fire them of.
The dinner passed very merrily, but
whenever Williams attempted to get
off Joke he was sure to be interrupt
ed by either Mccullough or Raymond
before the point OF the joke could be
brought out. At last. however, there
was a luli, and he couldn't be STAYED
| off any longer. He began a story.
The whole party listened with great
gravity. The wag proceeded in his
best style, working it mp to the laugh
ing point. The story WAS good one,
| but they all preserved their equanimiiy
and listened without q smile. When
the climax came and the joker stopped
| there was a dead silenre.
.Well. what then?' asked McCul-
Tough, after a painful pause.
That's all of the story" replied
Williams, sadly.
The tragedian gave, him plying
look, and, exchanging glances with
| the other actors. changed the subject.
Later the wit took heart again and
tried ON a new story. but the result
was the same, and Williams noticed
that the whole party cast looks OF pity
and astouishment ut him. He grew
secretly mad and desperate at this,
and tried frequently, but still in vain.
to make a point. Not laugh did he
ges that night.
Afterward. on the way home, Me-
Cullough talked with the wit in a
fatherly way.
You made terrific exhibition of
yourself tonight, my boy" he said:
.'You need rest, and you'll take it if
you are wise. Your brain is going.
There's too much strain upon it, in
venting jokes for years for your per-
| formances. He insisted on seeing the
| Joker home and tucking him in bed,
and then sent three doctors TO him, al
his own expense, to the great discom-
future of The funny man. Chicago

A Hungarian Mobiles Home.

ii. II. H. can not have been sorry to
get TO Paris. says the London Truth.
as the country seats of Hungarian no.
bles are not temples of luxurious re-
finement. Here is the description of
one of them by an English sportsman
who had been invited for q months
hunting:
- is an enormous building of
whitewa$hed brick, standing in mOat,
and strongly resembling an Oid-tash-
ioped workhouse or county Jail. De-
cupying three sides of Il Square, the
central court is OF loose sandy shingie;
nor, for some acres round the house, is
tree higher than q turze-bush to be
seen. For protection against'the Jerg
nature of the counts vast hunting
ground, the environs of the house are
''cleared" in style which an Ameri-
can pioneer would havo applauded.
A walled garden with single small
and ill-built forcing-house constitute
the grounds. Beyond all is plain and
forest, forest and plain, intersperSed
with hamlets. inhabited principally by
the keepers and trackers of the count.
Within all is as barrack-like as with
out. Ill-painted wainscot and i'll
whitewaShed walls, ornamented here
and there with ill-proportioned bas-re-
lief. whitewashed or rather yellow
washed like the rest, pervade the vast
mansion; with the exception of the
state-rooms, which are hung with fad
ed damask, and scantily filled with the
meager furniture OF the last century.
An enormous hall, on whose walls tro-
phies of antlers and boars' heads are
divided by gun racks and stacks of
arms, occupies the central ground
floor, and admits the winds Of heaven
to the vast staircase and roomy corri-
dors above. Except in the state apart
ments and in the countess boudoir not
a carpet is to be seen, and of forty bed
chambers there arc only eight in which
fireplaces are to be found.

Foreign Names for English Ships.

Who casks correspondent have the

why it is necessary to give British ships
foreign or classical namesP Possibly
the two given above may commemorate

fleet and were originally prizes OF war.

for reviving the name. But this can
not be urged on the part of the Achil-

lope, and dozens more of ancient per-
sons who have had no connection with

certain to be Indian silence and mon

corner where Il guest may spend an
uninterrupted haIf-hour during a So
cial call, needs some easy-chairs, lest
the wearied visitor never comes again;
but it still needs more light CHAIRS
more than one-that can easily be
moved about. Whether the easy
chairs are cane-seated rockers or plush

This is not the battle. however. The
original arrangement of the furniture
is like the disposition OF troops. 1t is
here that the hostess shows her knowl-

. always observed how the chairs were
left in a drawing-room where several
people had been sitting and put
! them in the same position next
time. This is the secret of success
with chairs. Dispose them so that per-
sons who fall into them shall sit down
i'll the place most natural and satisfac-
tory. Arrange group of chairs near the
door where the casual caller will drop in
10 one and the hostess into another, and
without realizing the fact that they are
sitting near together will yet be placed
i'll the Gcst possible position for a little
conversation. If it is i large drawing
room, constantly used by number Of
people, multiply these groups of seats,
not in ridiculous esthetic situations,
with sofas at right angles to the room,
but conveniently and naturally. Sit
down i'll the chairs, if necessary, and
see in what position you would like to
find your neighbor. If you remember
that the chairs are to sit in, not to look
at, not even to give color, you will
place them as people will wish to find
them, and without knowing why. your
drawing-room will often be- full OF peo-
pie and its reputation will so abroad.

Geors,sss Picturesque Ruin.

A more romantic spot than the ruins
OF Cooper's iron works can not be
found in Georgia. Great rocks rise up
in rugged grandeur, bearing ON their
sides clambering vines and ripening
berries. Old houses are crumbling in.
to ruin and trees are growing up
through decsying floors. An ancient
mill standson the Hyer's bank and the
water goes bounding over the old rock
dam. It Is place where civilization and
the busy hum Of machinery and of hu
man voice has given place again to ma
ture. Ear up the mountain side is
little piatean. where once lived, in
rude rock house. an early pioneer. It
is with much difficulty that the place
Is reached, but when once there the
scsre that meets the eye is grand and
picthresque. To sit there and watch
an autumn sunset is better than to be
in the vine clad hills of Italy. Looking
out. from under the muscadine vine
that has climbed up and arched the
doorway of the scene down the river
was too grand for poor, weak pen
like mine. The old "king of the day"
was almost touching the treetops in
the western horizon. A halo of gold
en- glory flooded the world. The white
clouds that lay off towards the south
seemed to be catching on fire. The
river, under the touch of the sun,
seemed to be rising to meet the violet
tinted sky. The hills were gloriously
radiant under the bewitching touch of
that grand light. The old Blue Ridge
mountains lowered up far back in the
east, and their stern faces seemed al
most to smile as the sunlight kissed
their brows. From the south there
came thessoftest touch of evening air,
bearing on its bosom the last sweet
essence Of summer. From far below
there rose the low musical murmur of
the river as 1t splashed over rocks and
dimpled in the zephyr-hke breath of
the air: Above US the sad pines gently
swayed in the breeze and gave out a
sweet, soft song that spoke of peace
and rest 1t was good to be there. The
