Washington and Bunker Hill.

1t was on the 18th day of June, 1875,
that George Washington was chosen
commander-in- chief of the American
army. The next day he made his an
wer to congress, in which he declared
that he accepted the office, but that he
would take no pay. He left Philadel-
phia on his way to Boston, June 81,
escorted by Il troop of horsemen, and
accompanied by Schuyler and Lee,
who had just been made major-gener
ais by congress. They had gone about
twenty miles when they saw a man on
horseback coming rapidly down the
road. 1t was a messenger riding post
haste to Philadelphia, and carrying to
congress news of the battle of Bunker
Hill. Everybody was stirred by the
news and wanted to know the particu-
lars.
''Why were the PrOvincials cOmpell-
ed to retreat 2" he was asked.
at was for want of ammunition" he
replied.
"Did they stand the fire of the reg
ular troops 2" asked Washington anx-
iously.
"That they did, and held their own
fire in reserve until the enemy was
within sight rods"
''Then the liberties of the country
are safe I" exclaimed Washington. He
remembered we'll the scenes under
BraddOck, and he knew what a sight it
must have been to those New England
farmers when a compact body OF. uni
formed soldiers came marching up from
the boats at CharlestOwn. If they
could stand fearlessly, there was stuff
in them for soldiers. From George

1t Was the Woman's Fault.

Carrie" who was not born when
the war of the rebellion was cOnclud-
ed, asks us if jefferson Davis, the eX-
rebel chief, did not try to escape from
the Union soldiers in weman's apparel.
THE story, as told 10y G.. E. l.. Stewart
'of Davis staff, is this: Davis and his
Family were encamped near Twins
willie, south of Macon, GA. Just at
alawn on May IL, 1865, the camp was
surrounded, and Davis, while attempt
ling to escape in disguise, was captured
and conveyed to Wilson's headquar-
tiers. Davis had slept i'll wrapper,
and when aroused hastily pulled Oh
his boots and went to the tent door.
i He observed the national cavalry.
"Then you are captured" exclaimed
his wife. In an Instant she fastened
the wrapper around him before he was
aware, aud then, bidding him adieu,
urged him to go TO spring near by,
where his horse and arms were. He
complied, and as lie was leaving the
tent door, followed by servant with
water bucket, his-sister in-law flung
shawl over his head. It's "a pretty
story, and throws all the blame on the
women, YOU see. Ewes daughters
nearly always have to bear the blame
of mems fOllies.

A Common Hunger.

There is a human hunger which we
are all apt to overlook in our inventO-
~ of human necessities. Hardwork-
ing women on lonely farms or isolated
villages often find themselves growing
irritable and nervous, and even trOub-
led with religious doubts, in spite of
their fervent prayers. They do not
need tones or moral discipline. They
need contact with unfamiliar minds,
new ideas, novel scenes, just as their
lungs, after using up all the oxygen in
a close room, need the air out of doors.
Young girls are too apt voluntarily to
force themselves into this state; dis
appointed in their natural lODgings for
congenial companion, they resolve
to live alone, and shut themselves into
their own souls. The resources are
not sufficient to keep off famine. "Only
god or a brute can dwell in solitude"
says a wise old German.

The Eight Weddings of the White
House.

If Grover Cleveland should be mar
ried in the White House his wedding
will be the ninth which has taken
place there, and he will be the first
president married in the White House.
John Tyler had the wedding reception
of his second marriage i'll the White
House, and President Hayes and his
wife celebrated their silver wedding
there. The first marriage in the White
House took place in 1911, when a Miss
Todd, relative of President MadisOn's
wife, married John j. jackson, IL Vir-
ginia congressman. The next was
that of MOnrOe's daughter, Martha, to
Mr.. Gouveneur of New York, about
nine years later, and in 1916 the son of
President Adams married his cousin,
Miss johnson, there. During the adj
ministration of jackson one of the di
plOmats, man named PaqueOt, who
afterwards represented the French
government in this country, was mar
ried in the White house to the daugh-
| ter of Andrew JacksOn's close friend,
Major Lewis of Nashville, and Jack
sons niece was married during this adj
ministratiOn to Mr.. Polk of Tennes-
see. During Tyler's administration
his daughter was married to Virgin
ian named Waller, and during Grants
term his daughter was united with
Sartoris, an English gentleman. AnOth-
er marriage during the days of Grants
presidency was that of General Rus
sell Hastings and Miss Emily Platt.
The marriage of Nellie Grant was a
very grand affair. 1t took place in the
east room, and was talked of for the
time all over the world. The groom,
Algernon Sartoris, was a nephew of
Fanny Kemble, and was highly edu-
Gated. Nellie Grant was 10 years old
while he was %. They met on n
steamboat and were married IL months
after this meeting. Immediately after
the marriage the young couple sailed
for England, where they have spent
most of the time since then, and where
Mrs. SartOris is now Cleveland

A Short Sermon to Young Men.

You are the architects of your own
fortunes rely upon your own strength
of body and soul. Take for your mot
to, Industry, Self-Reliance, Faith and
Honesty, and inscribe on your banner,
Luck is Fool, Pluck is a Hero.
Earnest effort in one direction is the
surest road to wealth and position !;
diligence is the winning hand. Do not
take too much advice, keep at the helm
and steer your own ship, and remem-
Der that the great art of commanding
is to take fair share of the work. Do
not practice too much humility, think
well of yoIrself-strike Out-assume
your position. 1t is the jOstlings and
joltings of life that bring great men to
the surface. Rise above the enviOus
and jealous. Energy, invincible de-
termination with Il right motive, are
the levers that move the world.
Do not drink. Do not chew or
smoke. Don't swear! Remember
young man, that God will not hold you
4 guiltless, it you take his name in vain.
Never mention his sacred name, but
with that reverential awe which is due
from the creature to his Creator.
Don't read novels. Be self-reliant.
Be generous-there are two sides to
every balance, and favors thrown i'll
one side of the scales are sure to be
reciprOcated in the other. Be civil.
Be in earnest. Be kind-for kind
words are the brightest flowers OF
earth's existence, they make very
paradise of the humblest home that
1.-THE world can show. Use them-and
Especially around the fireside circle,
They are jewels beyond price, and
precious to heal the wounded heart
Il and make the weighed down spirit
glad, and enhance all other blessings
at is foolish man who does not un-
derstand that molasses will catch more
flies than vinegar"

stand still. He found indications OF
coal, natural gas and coal oil, and he
was willing to give $500 for the place.
The idea was, of course, that the farm
Ell would be awful sick of his first sale
and seek to buy the man off. 1t would
pay him to offer the man $500 TO re-
lease him.
The second stranger was only out of
sight when the first one turned up again.
His mouth watered over the prospect,
but not for long. The farmer explain
ed that he had been offered $500 more,
and added:
"But / don't care for money. The
$4,000 is enough for me and it's all the
old farm is worth. When you are
ready to pay the balance we'll make
out the papers,"
The purchaser offered to release him
for $1OOO-S50O-$ 700-$300, but the
farmer didn't want to be released. He
hung to the bargain money and he's
got it yet, while the pair of sharpers
rave and gnash their teeth every time
they think of the thickness of his skull.
