Many years ago, at the fork of the Broad

magic drink called ssthe water Of life. ;"
The consequence was that several of his
nri2hbOrs soon conceived for him
vehement friendship. which waved strong

U'ftentimes would they spend the whole

wanton neglect sank deep into the hearts
of their wives " HON they had promised

handful OF hickory switches and FASTENED
to the tavern. Here they treated the inn
keeper TO an eloquent display Of their
muscular powors, to which he entirely
succumbed. From this circum lance
arose the name ii ckory Tavern, and

The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1885-05-27

O subject of remark by her companions.
The appreciative audience applauded Wig
orously and none more so than the young
New York millionaire, who swore that he
wouldn't sleep until he knew that girl"
Acting upon this determination he went
TO work to accomplish his desire First he
was introduced TO the. principal OF the
school, who presented him TO the young
ladies, the one In question being among
them. That evening there was n concert
at which she played and sang very sweet
ly, looking charmingly in a dress borrowed
for the occasion. After her performance
u handsome bouquet was sent upon the
platform which made her companions
green with envy. she did not dream from
whence II came; but Il pair OF dark eyes
from the audience watched her every
movement, and their owner vowed then
and there that If there was "no other fell
low with prior claim he'd risk his fate
in that direction.
The young girl recognizing the fact that
there Is tide in the affairs of women Us
we'll as men. which if taken in time leads
on to glory. determined to take this special
tide and await results, and In one year
from the night of the concert she became
the wife of one Of New York's wealthy
men. lier salons are marvels of artistic
presentations, her balls are quoted in the
Court journals of both hemlspheres, her
wealth Is boundless, and to day, If she so
desired, she tould most eilectuully apply
the snubbing game to those who rcsortcd
TO this ungracious habit on the day which
decided her fortune.

NaW Clothes.

Old clothes may be comfortable and
economical aud they may have associations
that are invaluable to us. How many
miles has Amaryllls walked with her
sweetheart In her old boots with how
many disappointments has she not wrestl-
ed in her old hat with Its languid feathersl
how many pangs has she not smothered In
her old cloak with its rusty trimmings |
but in spite Of the dearest associations,
and a pathetic feeling that ones old clothes
are part Of ones self, like the skin, they
do provoke one with disagreeable habit
of splitting and cracking and growing
threadbare, and losing altogether their
original characteristics Of respectability
asd usefulness. 10 be sure, there are
people so insane as 10 dislike new clothes
people who assure us that ne, boots are
pinching abomination, that new gloves
are an invention Of the fiend, that new
gowns give one an overpowering sense OF
the unhtness OF things-a sense OF respon-
slbility, and Of principal invested In stock
that pays no interest, not calculating that
the interest Is returned TO us In self-com-
placency and the knowledge that, come
what will, our garments are as fresh as
our neighbors'. The sage has told us that
"the consciousness OF being well dressed
imparts greater tranquility 10 tho mind
than the consultations Of religion can az
ford" and there surely is nothing that SO
completely .dlyests the average woman Of
dignity and self-respect, or the capacity 10
do herself justice, as TO be keenly alive to
the hole In her elbow, the shininess of her
silk, or the rustiness Of her boots that the
best blacking has failed TO medicine she
has In this case pertinacious conviction
OF her own unworthiness and insignifi-
cance, which does not enable her 10 shine.

The caves projected over, the walls about
three feet, so that yeranda was formed
around the hut. The entrance was
through yard which surrounded the hut,
with wall OF brushwood seven feet high.
There was only one doorway, into which
we entered on smooth yard OF red clay
Here, with their backs 10 the wall, sat
some men, probably the Kings body guard
They were all more or less dressed, having
trousers patched with every conceivable
color and material, some with hats, others
old Government helmets. The inside Of
the hut was lined with gray clay bearing
quaint figures and devices.
Opposite the door and close TO the inside
wall lay a man on couch with folded-up
shawl under his head. He had on red
flannel shirt, blue coat, very old cord
trousers, and boots with cloth tops. but
no socks He was the King At his head
sat another person, the Queen, sitting
like tailor, naked 10 her waist. She had
n quantity OF beads round her neck, Of diff.
ferent colors, from which hung charms
and such useful articles as keys. The
King was sound nsleep, but the Queen and
attendants were wide awake Round
against the wall sat his two Princesses, or
daughters The two men smoking. Not
one OF them took the slightest notice OF
