course of his wanderings he entered the
Museum of Fine Arts, and after gazing
superciliously around at the contents
there of, his attention finally rested up
on some fine paintings by Gustave Dore,
which were at the time the pride of the
city. These seemed to interest him, for,
turning to his guide, he said, &c. Dore?
G. Dore? are these by G. Dore?''
On receiving an affirmative response,
he continued, at seems to me that he

The guide, remembering that the artist
had been dead some time, struggled a
while with the desire to be truthful, but
delighted that the great man had found
something to interest him; finally doubt

My friend, A. q. Beeson, of Winches.

of the State Prison at Michigan City,
Ind.
To him, among many Others, came a
convict, not once, but often, complaining
that he was AN innocent man most un-
Justly held in confinement.
To all these complainings Beeson had
one unvarying consolation. "Oh, yes"
he would say, in his good natured way,
II know you are all right; you are IN
honest man; you should not be in here.
But then just think of all the fellows
outside who ought to be in here and

go back to his cell, contented as q martyr
and think over it all night and wonder
in the morning why it didn't seem sc

THE TWINS AND THE BELL.
IF. Z. HuddIe, in Through MALL


They were boy and girl, so much
alike that strangers could scarcely dis
tinguish one from the other except by
their dress. They lived in great city,
close by an elegant church, whose steeple
lowered high above their home and
whose bell they were wont to watch
swinging TO and fro as it called the godly
people to worship, or hang still and i'm
movable as its great tongue tolled a
death. From their window they could
look right into the belfry, and see the
gray-haired sexton swing the heavy
tongue against the side of the bell when
q funeral was on, and watch the great
wheel roll back and forth when he pulled
the cord on other occasions.
People said this boy and girl loved
each other well. Be that as it may they
were never apart, and their little arms
were wont to clasp each others necks
when they stood by their window watch
ing the bell. Their prattle was more to

and one day. they climbed up to their
accustomed places on the broad window
sill and locked their little arms about
each other, to watch the old sexton toll
the great, deep-mouthed bell for the
death of their mother. They were 200
young to know exactly why, but they
listened in silence until the bell ceased
70 strike, and then hugging each other
more closely yet, wept until their little
heads bowed upon each others shoulders
were still in sleep. They were too young
to be taken out in the raw weather, and
from their old place in the window they
watched the sexton toll the bell again
the next day, and heard the grand organ
play . funeral march as their dead
mother was c1lkied down the aisle in her
coffin, and when the nurse came in, she
found them ia each others embrace,
last asleep, with their cheeks moist with
tears, and tenderly put them in their bed
where the arms of each were again soon
twined about the other closer, a. their
dreams Of their lost mother made their
little hearts ache.

The reign of very young girls over the
heart of man is ended, says the London
Echo.
"Sweet sixteen" is insipid, "fascinat-
ing eighteen" tame. At % the young
lady of the present day may be said to
be interesting, at 80 she is charming,
and at 80 fascinating. But it is not till
the woman gets well into the forties that
she reaches the angelic period where
temper no longer yields the mastery,
and mature thought smooths out the
rugged outlines of her mental life. If
she understands the art of self-preserva-
ton she may also retain at this age the
better part of her physical charms, and
be pretty in spite of the years.
Ninon de L'Enclos was regarded as q
belle and beauty at 60, and care and
discretion are only necessary to carry
the beauty of youth far into mature
life.
Another custom is coming into vogue
which must lend hope to many spinster
and widow of uncertain age, and that is
the fashion of women marrying men
younger than themselves. Perhaps this
can hardly be called an innovation, how
ever, for it has been practiced in the
older countries for many years, and in
Ireland has long been the custom.
DR.. johnson married a woman old
enough to be his mother; Disraeli was
many years his wife's junior, and Aaron
Burr married widow several years older
than himself.
The famous Madame de Stael was A
when she picked up young officer of
20 or so, and Rachel married Vernhagen
Won Ense when she was over 40 and he
in the twenties. All of these were happy
marriages, and Miss Thackeray, Mrs.
Craik and Margaret Fuller seemed to
believe in such unions, for they each
chose comparative youngsters for masri-
monial mates.
Modern and ancient unions like these
have proved lucky unions, and as some
of the latter have given sort of tone
and fashion to the custom, we may look
for a tide in that direction. If it be-
comes the fashion for women to choose
husbands younger than themselves, old.

The suicides were engaged in nearly
every kind of occupation, but the great
majority were farmers, merchants and
laborers, though commonly it is sup
posed that the tendency to self-destruc-
ton is among men of strictly intel
lectual pursuits. But, in fact, suicide.
like insanity, is less among those who
work their minds chiefly, than among
those who lead sluggish lives in which
their intellectual ia ulties are not kept
bright by Use. New Ork, though the
most populous of the states, had fewer
suicides in 1884 than ilIinois-lG to
169. Finally, the number of suicides in
this country is small in comparison with
Europe Out of the more than -, 900
cases of self-destruttion which occur
annually in Europe and the United
States together, we furnish only about
/. 900.
