From COach.Box to Pulpit.

The Rev. and Mrs. Swan Carl Franzene
have left Ardmore for their new home
i'm Minnesota, where Mr.. Franzcne will
dabor as a missionary among the Swedish
settlers. Their recent wedding has
made public the history of a romantic
courtship. The bride is the daughter of
the late Charles kagler, of Ardmore, for
many years State senator from Mont
,gomery county and long identified with
the Lutheran Church and Publication
society. Her sister is DR.. Annie kugler,
now a missionary in India and recently
assistant resident physician in the female
department of the Norristown Insane
asylum. While Miss Florence was still
q schoolgirl pupil ofthe Friends school,
at Fifteenth and Race streets) she formed
the acquaintance Of the oachman of DIR.
D. Hayes Agnew, who spends his sum.
mers at his country place, near AIdmore.
This coachman was a Swcde of ordinary
education, not at all, in the eyes Of the
world, the proper mate for q young lady
of Miss Kugler's position, education and
prospective fortune. Nevertheless, she
declared her determination either to
marry the coachman or go with her sister
as a missionary to India.
The young lady's relatives and friends,
of course, opposed the match: The
coachman was too sensible to initiate
Hulscamp and resolved that if the girl
could not come down to his level he
would rise to hers. Accordingly he re-
signed his situation as DIR. Agnew's
coachman and entered upon the studies
required for the Lutheran ministry. Dur
ing his theological course Miss Florence
patiently waited. At last the young
Swede's efforts were crowned with sue
cess. He was ordained, all opposition
gave way and Ardmore was entertained
with a pretty wedding in the Lutheran
church. As the demand for Lutheran
ministers to labor among the Swedish
emigrarts in the West is largelyin ex.
cess of the supply, the young missionary
has every opportunity to keep his present
position and become useful if not also
eminent.-PhIadelphia Times.

The Washington Lobbyists.

A great deal is said and written about
the Washington lobbyist which is pure
imagination. The lobbyist of to-day is
not the Sam Ward. The day has gone
past in Washington when a vote can be
purchased for a dinner. Dinners are too
plentiful and votes are too scarce for
such an exchange. The dinner of to-day
is oftentimes used as q vehicle for the
exchange of views by the friends Of any
particular measure. The lobbyist first
secures his game, and then draws them
sogether where. after the guests have
slowed away several bottles under their
honorable Jacket, the chances of the sue
cess of the undertaking are discussed
and various plans suggested that will
tend to improve them. The dinner is
still an able weapon in the hands Of the
lobbyist, but he uses it guardcdly n
without oste1tation. A very prominent
lobbyist here. who is reported to be worth
q cool half million, keeps a sort of bach
elor's hall in a fashionable %neighbor-
hood. His house is magniticcntly fur
uished, and the rarest taste has been eX-
pended in it's adornments. Some OF the
pictures are said to have cost
fabulous sums. Here he lives like a
prince and entertains his congressional
friends in royal style. For the past ten
years his card parties Lave been the talk
of a certain portion of the town. Oc-
casionally a game of draw poker splayed
here in which the stakes run up to large
amounts, but the most is always careful
that his guests do not lose too much at
the table. He is one of the best card
PLAYERS in the city, but he seldom wins.
IF he finds that one of his guests is losing
too much to another, he invariably plays
so that the unlucky one will win from
him before he leaves the table. lie uses
cards as an attraction and an amusement,
and takes care that nothing shall trans
ipire which would even lend the color of
suspicion that his house is a place where
gambling is the chief source of revenue.
This man is what is called a ''bear lob
byist." If he tried he could probably
do but little toward the success Of any
particular project, but among his fellows
he is said to be able to give any scheme
"a black eye in case he is not properly
.'seen," so to speak. His power with
congressman is entirely legative.
"A scheme involving the expenditure of
money out of the public treasury must
pass his gaze and meet his approval pro-
Vided there is.a job in it, otherwise he
will set his dogs IN it. He is shrewd
enough to know that it is much easier to
kill q measure than it is to force it
Through Congress.-Boston I1aoeler.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

He benefits himself who doeth good
to others.
The way to keep money is to earn it
fairly and honestly.
1t is error only, and not truth, that
shrinks from inquiry.
The investigation and pursuit of truth
is the special duty of man.
Our acts make or mar us; we are the
children of our own deeds.
1t is q great blindness and a great
misery to seek rest where it is impossible
to find it.
A rule for living happily with others
is to avoid having stock subjects of dis
putation.
1t is as hard to ~satirize we'll a man OF
distinguished vices as to praise we'll a
man of distinguished virtues.
A snob is that man or woman who Is
always pretending to be something bet
ter-especially richer or more fashionable
than they are.
Misfortune is not always misery. A
man can possess an unrutiled mind and q
contentcd heart in the midst Of the most
untoward circumstances.
1t is a deep working out of love to say
or do from true love that which may
cause the object of love to manifest hate
to US and yet to love him in spite OF his
hate.
Let there be in every mans life a time
for silence and for holding his tongue,
of keeping it back, like David, even
from good words, even though it be pain
mad grief to him.
