A Lawyers Smart Clerk.

A New York lawyer tells a story of
recent occurrence in his Office by which
his boy made S25. but came near get
ting two people into a very unpleasant
predicameut.
A plain-looking man and woman
walked into the office one day in the
absence of the attorney. His boy
greeted the callers cordially and asked
what they desired, adding that Mr.. -
was out, but that he attended to mat
tiers in his absence. The man explained
that he and his wife did not get along
very we'll and both wanted to be re-
leased from their married relations.
"Oh, that can be easily arranged, 4"
remarked the whilom attorney, and
looking wise he ostentatiously exam
ined lot of lawbooks. and after a few
minutes proceeded to draw up an ag-
reement between the man and his wife
to disagree. He framed it in the Ian
guage of the law, putting in the "saids,"
greetings" and "aforesaids," as well
as an alarming array of references to
parties of the first part" and parties
of the second part" and even to "a
uinculo matrimonio," the latter being
intended to properly impress his clients.
Large seals were added to the docu-
ments. which the boy Endorsed with
flourish and gills of red ink; then the
agreement was duly signed, the boy add
ing his name as witness. The man
was very grateful, and asked what the
fee was. The small boy said $50, and
to the plea that this was a good deal to
pay for so little work, answered: "But
see what have done for you, and, any
how, we never scratch a pen here for
less than $50" The man had only S25,
but he paid that, and promised that he
would return in few days and pay the
remainder. The following week he
put in an appearance, and the boy be-
ing out, saw the attorney himself, and
remarked cheerfully that he had come
to pay S15 on account
"On account of what?" asked the
attorney.
"Why, the agreement 1 had drawn
up here last week." replied the client.
What agreement" asked the at
torney.
The man produced the paper and
handed it to the lawyer, and, as the lat
ter read it, his eyes grew like an owls
at night. When heat last reached the
clause: "Know all men by these pres
ents, that John--and Mary, hav-
ing agreed before me as a witness, they
are free to marry again in this State"
the cold perspiration started to the law
yer's brow as he blurted out: "For
heavens sake don't tell me you are
married."
no" answered the man. al am GO
ing to be married next week and Mary
will be married tomorrow"
The lawyer quickly explained the
case to the man, and two trials for big
amy were saved from our already over
crowded courts. -NetU York CONNER

Bill Nye on housekeeping.

It is now the season of the year when We
begin to spruce up around our premises
and put on the airs of spring. A few WE'LL
timed remarks upon matters of general in
terest to housekeepers, coming from one
who understands fully what he is talking
about, may be beneficial. If they are re-
ceived in the proper spirit my object will
have been attained. All l care for is to
furnish all the information l can and do all
the good | can. Life is made up of these
little acts of kindness, and to be we'll in
formed, and then to be able to spread that
information around all over the country in
such way as to ameliorate the condition
of our race. is a most fortunate thing for
the pessessor, and great boon to those
who may be the recipients of that lnforma-
ton.
good, durable whitewash may be
made by Stacking pure lime with salt and a
light solution of water. Mix while cold,
and stir gently while boiling, so that il will
not burn on. Let it stand ten minutes and
then carefully skim it. If it does not set
tie readily drop in the yelk Of an egg. Do
not put glue in your whitewash in order to
make it stick. II is a great mistake to
unite glue or baking powder with white
wash that is to be used on the walls or cell
ing of parlor.
gallon of milk will improve large
quantity of whitewash, but the cream may
be taken off before the milk is used. To
apply whiewash on a ceiling is not diff
cult process, and many people pay a pro-
fessional when they might do it equally
we'll themselves.
Take whitewash brush of about the
medium height and dip it in the liquid
preparation. Next carefully remove the
surplus by gently pressing the brush against
the side Of the pail. You can then stand
on the piano and apply the solution to the
ceiling, little at q time. If you do this,
however, do not forget and step forward
into the works of the piano, or set the pail
on the strings while you are at work. After
you have been ut work for n few moments
and got your sleeves we'll filed with white
wash, You may empty them back into the
pail, thus saving the surplus, which other
wise might be wasted. Care should be
used in scattering oil paintings and bric-a-
brac on the walls. Some oil paintings look
better spattered with whitewash, while 9TH
ers do not. For this reason a keen dis
elimination is necessary, and every man
may not succeed with the brush.
Whitewash may be removed from the
eye by the iudicious use of muriatic acid,
which cuts the lime and purifes the eve
itself, removing any animal substance also
that may have fallen into the socket, in
Guiding the eye itself.

A Little Hard o. Hearing.

Jonathan Chace, the quaint old
Rhode Island Quaker-who has q ten
der side, by the way, for all the victims
of Cupid-was taking the subscrip-
tions of his colleagues of the Senate
for the wedding present they were to
give Gen. Arson McCook, the Secre-
tary of the Senate, at his marriage
He went to Dolph, of Oregon, and
said: I'VE are going to give McCook
a wedding present. How much will
you subscriber" Dolph seemed
astonished. Finally he said, with some
appearance of confusion "Why, I'll
give something, of course, If you want
me to, but I'd like little time to think
about it." "Oh, certainly" responded
Chace, somewhat miffed, and then he
walked off. Then Dolph hurried over
to his colleague, Mitchell, of Oregon.
and said to him in a puzzled way
"Chace asked me just now to join him
in giving a wedding present to his
cook. What do you suppose he's
driving at? When my cooks get
married don't go around asking other

spring poem. The maple flavor is not in
furious to the taste, and does not interfere
with the popularity of this justly celebrated
dope for the hot pancake. Much maple
syrup and sugar grow in Vermont, and l
have often wondered what becomes of this
healthful beverage. Why maple syrup,
made from the Juice of the maple tree,
should not find its way into the channels of
trade is more than l can understand.
A cheap and tasty window curtain may
be made of the finest batiste, cut the proper
length, and then decorated with painted
flowers. Most any lady can readily paint
these flowers in any design, or ut least a
great many seem TO think they can. The
flowers may be any variety which fancy may
dictate, such rs corn flowers, daisies, pond
lilies, or forget me -nots, and, II they do
not look just right, they may be erased
while still green by boiling the curtains in n
solution of benzine and tuipentine, say two
parts of the former To ninety eight of the
latter.
A design to which my attention has been
recently called consists of antique, impro-
vised flower, composed by ayoung lady who
is destined to make her mark some day, un-
less some one interferes. She has already
made her mark in several places, in fact,
but these flowers certainly deserve some
thing more than a mere passing notice.
They are not copied from the monotonous
and tedious uniformity so much affected in
nature, but they stand out by themselves
and attract the attention mt once, because of
their bold originality. Instead of copying
nature, and thus becoming tiresome, she
has constructed a flower that is cross be-
tween a rose cancer and ginger cooky. 1t
grows on n perpendicular stem that looks
like dark green hat-rack with buds on it,
that remind the enraptured spectator of an
aggravated felon on dark red thumb, just
peeping out of pale green, weather. beaten
bandage.
Nothing so bold in conception or so ut
terly free from conventionality has come
within my range of observation for years.
The inflammatory condition of the blossom
itself, the bold and mechanically perpen-
dicular poise of the stem, and the early
stages of eruption visible in the complexion
of the bud, challenge the admiration of the
philanthropist and the Board of Health.
It stands out as n work of art, alone and
safe from imitation. 1t certainly has never
been successfully initiated by nature, and
l do not think it ever will be. While nat
ure loves to give us freaks now and then,
/ may safely say that she will never fur
nish us with a flower like this, flower that
looks as though it had been nailed on the
parent stem with single nails, while the
foliage, it would seem, was cut out of sheet
iron and riveted 10 the curtain by the hand
of master. II is one of those mock eyed,
fragile blossoms of the vale that you could
successfully use in beating out a mans
brains.

ROMANCE OF THE BATTLEFIELD.

Whore Congressman Stone Fell I'm Love and
Nearly Lost His Life.
Apropos of romantic marriages, there
Is probably no man In Congress who
can show letter record than Repre-
sentative William j. Stone of Kentucky,
who takes Oscar Turner's place in the
House. says Carp, in the Cleveland
Leader. The story of Stones terrible
wound on the battlefield was told not
long ago, but the best part of the story
was left out. The battle where he lost
his leg was near Cynthiana, Ky. He
was in the Confederate service, and
after the battle was lying on the field,
gasping for water, with his leg shot
away almost to the hip. A Federal
soldier saw him and asked him if he
was not thirsty. Re replied that he
was, and the Yankee went off and
brought back canteen full of water.
He raised the wounded man and gave
him drink, and then in kindness left
his own canteen by the side of what he
thought to be the dying rebel. Said
he, Il will leave this, as you may want
to drink again after awhile" Stone
thanked him. As he turned to go away
another Union soldier came up and
said Hello, my man, is that rebel
dead?" The first Yankee replied that
he was not, but thought he was dying
The new conner then said, "Stand aside
and I'll finish him." and with that he
raised his musket. The kind-hearted
Yankee stepped in front of him and told
him if he shot the rebel he would shoot
him. This ended the matter, a d the
good and the bad Union soldier went
away together This much of the story
has already been told.
Mr.. Stone lay upon the battlefield
for some time, hugging the canteen to
him. The troops had now all left the
field, and none but tie dead and dying
remained. At this time number of
young ladies from the town of Gym
thiana came to visit the battlefield.
They had gathered up the ramrods
scattered among the dead, and one OF
them finding Mr.. Stone still alive and
the hot sun beating down upon him,
took bundle of these ramrods and
stuck them into the earth. making a
half-moon of paling fence about his
head. Over this she spread her shawl
and did what she could to ease him.
This young woman is now Mrs Stone,
one of the accomplished women of our
Congressional society. Stone fell in
love with her on the battlefield, and
after his recovery he succeeded in win.

AVE MARIA"



A sound floats up from the valley,
Through the tall pine trees,
And the faintest odor of incense,
Is borne ON the breeze
The leaves OF the roses fiutter
And fall 10 the grosnd,
And lilies are white in the twilight
A list TO the sound.
IL comes from n stately building,
Where the lights CLEAN dim;
For the sanity nuns are chanting
A vesper hymn.
And Hail" they cry. sweet Mary,
For His dear sake,
For the shadows all will Tee
When the day begins a. break.

Intones but IA solemn lay,
And softly the voices chorus
The requiem of the day.
II one rings II sound OF sorrow,
Another "A tone OF pain.
And note bring To us the bygCnc O..
That never eau come again.
But the dim, faint light in the chancel
Shows faces so purs and white,
And lips that in prayer are moving
For wisdom. grace, and light.
And Hail. they cry, sweet Mary,
For His dear sake,
Let the shadows flee away,
And light begin TO break.
But see the purple twilight
Is fading into night.
And the pale moon in the heavens
CLEANS with uncertain light
For the mist Ii Ger the valley,
And the place looks drear and lone,
As ever To my ears Is waited
That sad monotone.
Floating through the pine trees
Comes the glimmtring light,
Now the soanl seems clearer
AS the night grows bright.
For still they cry Han, Mary,
For His dear sake
Soon shall the shadows vanish,
Soon shall the morning break.
Through the vale in silence,
To the peaceful lake,
And ON its ripping waters
My lonely way take.
No breath disturbs the quiet,
No sound the solemn night,
Save faint. low murmur
Near distant light.
But onward still. aud onward
My boat goes OF her way,
