his bed of dry grass and stares out at

NERVOUS ORATORS.

Men Who Always Shake and Ersmble H.
fore Making . Great Speech.
Great orators are almost invariably
nervous with apprehension when about
to make an important speech. Luther,
to his last years, trem5led when he en-
tered the pulpit; the same is true Of
Robert Hall. Mr.. Cough confesses
that he is always in a tremor when o
ing before an audience. Many Of the
leaders of the House of Commons have
given similar testimony. Canning said
he could always tell in advance when he
was about to make one OF his best
speeches by q chill running through him,
caused by & fear Of failure. Lord
Derby, father Of the present Earl,
when . young man, was one Of the
best speakers in Parliament, BE was
known as the prince Rupert of de-
bate, and seemed so self possessed -
to be incapable Of embarrassment. But
he said: when / am going to speak,
my throat and lips are as dry Is those
of q man who is going to be hanged
He also told the late Sir A. Allison that
"he never rose to speak, e in an
afternoon dinner assembly without ex-
periencing a certain degree OF ervon
tremor, which did not go off till he
warmed to the subject"
It is recorded of Cicero that he
shuddered visibly over his whole
body when he first began to speak"
In tho Life of Lord Lyndhurst," by
Sir Theodore Martin, we are told
that he did not prepare his
speeches. "Though like all great ora-
tors, he eve rose to speak withouk ner-

the same clearness he himself saw them,
and so led them insenslbly up to hin
own conclusions" T1erney. whom
Lord Macanlay calls one of the most
fluent debaters ever known,ssaid
he never rose in Parliament with
out feeling his knees knock to-

that no n can be Q great orator, or .

A Lord Chancenor's Reception.

A New England governor had o way
of making unexpected visits to institu-
tions under the control of the state;
and some amusing encounters, in the
way of remarks about himself, etc,
have been the consequence ofh:s
incognito; but we believe it he's never
subjected him to the inconvenient ioko
of being mistaken for . patient at an in
o n asylum.
WhensSi Sir Edward was Lord Chan
oellor Of ireland, he paid q visit to .,
lunatic asylum near Dublin, somewhat
by surprise, as he wished to ascertain
its real condition. The only notifica-
ton Of his coming (Which arrived q
very shorttihle before he did) was sent
by some wag Of his witty nation who
evidently had o mind to get some fun
out Of 1t. It happened that the super
intendent was absent when this notice
reached the establishment, and the sub
ordinate official received it in good faith,
and acted upon it accordingly. What
the notice was may be guessed from Whist
follows.
On Sir Edwards arrival, he found
himself rather unceremoniously treated
and after waiting in the parlor for the
return of the proprietor until his pa
thence was exhausted, he signified hia
intention to go through the establish
ment without more delay; w~hereupon,
the attendant struck him aghast by
coolly informing him that he could not
be allowed to do it by any means.
HCant be allowed to do it'll What do
you meal,, fellow" asked the indignant
chancellor.
II mean just what / say, thin. Ton

quiet"
What do you mean, sir, by this M
science? Open the door, sir, and
show me to my carriage. I shall res
port your conduct, sir, and if your q
ter does not punish you, / shall take
steps to make him and you respect my
authority
"Ohl be asyn o with your authority.
Keep quiet, / tell you. Divil q foot
you'll stir out Of this till tho docthur
comes back, and puts you where you,
want to be sadly"
"What-what is tho meaning of al
this? Don't you know who 7 am, fell

Faith, there's one Of us mad, sure
enough; q d ! know you very well, Il
that's all that's troubling your

Lord Chancellor? Well, sure you're
welcome home to us,-we have three
or four Lord C~hancellors here already.

trainte par corps,

she and the child slept at night under
the dark sky with its solemn star. But
it was SO late that / could see only a
lonely pallor and sunken eyes that
seemed not to see.
One morning. at last 1 saw her
climb into a rickety open buggy, drawn
by the meagre gray horse that had
been staked near her camp. I saw
her settle the child IN her lap, grasp
the reins and drive slowly up the long
hill that leads out OF town. At the top
of it she paused and stood up in the
buggy looking back. Her slender form
was sharply defined against the early
morning sky for a moment-I can see
it yet! Then she sank back in her seat
and presently she had passed out of
sight.

Discoursing upon the fact that at the
close Of the year 1854 wheat was selling
lower in the mark cts of the world than
even before in the history of modern
commerce, the Philadelphia Inquirer
says: Wheat has been q standard OF
value, a measure of price aver since the
human race has progressed far enough
to barter n commodity for another.
When wheat goes down, all other
staples go down with it, except when
there are influences ut work in special
cases counteracting the general ten
dency. AS will be seen by comparisons
Of prices all the leading articles OF
agricultural, mining and manufactur-
ing production have declined coinci-
IDENTIFY with the decline in breadstuffs
some more and some less, of course,
but all to an entent more equivalent to
the average range of profit. According
to the census of 1880 we had at that
period a product of 459, 479, 500 bushels
of wheat. The average range for
No. 2 red winter, at Chicago, about the
close of that year was not far from one
dollar per bushel. At this rate the
product was worth 9,479, sos. The
crop Of this year is not yet fully de-
termined, but in recent calculations it
has been estimated at 5400 90, 900 bush
els. The Chicago quotation for No. 2
red was about 70 cents. At 70 cents
this years product is worth $37S, OOO,-
600. That is to say, 80, 600, 900 bushels
more grain is valued at nearly sS1 ,500.-
900 less money. Similar comparisons
can be made with all the agricultural
staples, with corn, oats. rye, cotton,
tobacco and hay. Also with iron and
with most manufactured goods. Now,
that wheat is worth seventy cents, mon
ey goes begging at three per cent. OF
lower. The financial philosophers are
out in their calculations on this poiut,
and, indeed, have failed altogether to
compass the causes OF the pescnt phen-
omenal depreciation of values.

A Fashionable Wedding.

Here is an item with a few figures in
it which may be of interest to our girl
readers. The cost of a fashionable
wedding is given in detail in one Of the
so-called New York society journals
"for the benefit of such young ladies as
may desire to be married in good form
this winter" This society journal says
that the cost given is not that which
would make the display that would be
expected from a leader of fashion "only
a pretty, genteel affair, proper to any
middle class family"
In this list, the trousseau, including
furs, ball-dresses, and other equally
necessary articles, is set down at two
thousand five hundred dollars; re-
freshments for five hundred people will
cost at least another thousand dollars;
the use of the church, car
riages, policemen and detectives to
watch the presents, two hundred
dollars more; cigars and cham
payne, three hudred; floral dissertations,
from one hundred to a thousand dol
lars. After the bridesmaids dresses
and other items are added, the father of
the bride may congratulate himself If
FIVE thousand dollars can be made to
cover the cost of this, "only a pretty,
genteel, affair, proper to any middle
class family!"
The expenses OF the bridegroom, in
GLIDING pins for the ushers, a farewell
bachelor dinner, a boquet for the bride
at n hundred dollars, and a wedding
journey, mount easily up to two thous-
and dollars.
This estimate is not for the million
| aire, who wishes to rid himself of his
superf1uous cash, but for the middle
class" man of moderate income, whose
daughter, in all probability, carries no
dover into her new home, or rather
her new rooms in a stylish, gossiping
clearinghouse, or her suite of apart
ments in a French "fat."
A recent traveller in Brittany gives an
account of the wedding of a farmers
daughter which he saw. 1t took place
on q summer morning in the church.
The children of the village scattered
flowers in the way of the pretty bride,
as she walked with her husband at the
head of the procession to her fathers
house, where her friends and neighbors
partook of a simple, plentiful meal.
Then, in procession again, they es-
corted her to her new home, which with
shining windows and open door waited
for her, and left her there. "a Breton
GIRL" he adds, would feel disgraced if
she had not saved or earned plenty OF
| plenishing and o substantial dover,
which with her love should bring COM
fort and ease unto her husbands house."
Look upon this picture and on thatw
girls, and say honestly, in which is there
the most promise of happiness?-
