Won a Wife. Lost a Pulpit.

PARKERSBURG, WEST VA,
March 1S.-Rev. George Shaw, a
talented young minister OF the
Methodist Church of this State,
has now no longer the right to oc'
cupy pulpit.
About eighteen months ago he
was appointed to the charge at Fair
field, in Kanawha county. Among
those who listened to his religious
oratory was Miss Eva Little, a
member of his flock, young, fasci-
mating and of excellent family. The
young divine between Sabbaths
wooed the young lady, won her
heart and received the promise of
her hand in marriage. Thus things
went on for a year, and prepara-
tions were being made for the we'd
ding, when Rev. Shaw accepted
a call to the charge at Ceredo, a
much larger place and a more arls'
tocratic congregation.
Among his new hearers was Miss
/ Nelly WillIs-to the young divine
mora heautifnl than the one he had
promised to marry. Forgetting
his vows to Eva, he wooed, won
and recently welded the fair Ger
edo lady. Deserted MISS Little
did not commit suicide or bring a
"Baby Bunting" suit, but with heI
parents assistance presented al
the facts to the Executive Commit
tee of the Methodist Conference
The result is that Rev. Shaw has
been suspended from preaching the
Gospel.
A revival is now in progress al
Ceredo, and at the close of the Sun
day morning service the suspended
parson stood up in the pulpit, an
nounced his suspension and stated
the reasons therefor. A decided
sensation was caused, as most OF
his people had not been apprlset
of the action of Miss Little, ant
had no knowledge of his forme
! love affairs.
The young man leaves Tor Ohi'
this week, where he will endeavol
to join that conference.

LEVYING ON A CORPSE.

WHEELING, w. VA, March H..
About month ago John Kress,
of this city, was killed while out
driving. The body was duly in
TERED by Mendel q Co., under.
takers, on February 10. AS the
deceased left considerable property,
which was willed to his wife, the
firm naturally looked to her for
funeral expenses, which amounted
to $50 %.
. The widow, who lives in Colum-
bns, o., received the bill Of eX-
penses, but refused to settle,
claiming that the dead mans rela-
tives in this city were responsible
for the amount. The matter was
allowed to stand until about two
weeks ago, when Mrs. Kress wrote
to Mendel & Co. and asked what
the charges would be for disintering
the remains and shipping them to
Columbus. The answering letter
from the firm contained an itemized
account of the attending expenses,
but the lady evidently considered
the charges exOrbitaut, and she
again lapsed into silence. Thurs
day Mrs. Kress came on to Wheel.
ing, and after securing the neces-
sary permit for the removal OF the
body, secured Bridgeport parties
to make the excavation at the
grave. The work was performed
next day, and the remains placed
in wagon and driven toward
Bridgeport.
In the meanwhile the undertak-
ing establishment received point
er of the proceeding, and an at
tachment was sworn out before a
Justice for the body. A constable
was given the paper, and captured
the body and took it to MendeP'
establishment. The remains, which
were in fair state OF preserva
ton, we're placed in the vaults o
the undertaking establishment
where they still remain. The widow
despite the checkmate practiced OF
her, refuses to settle the iunera
expenses, and the undertaken
steadfastly maintain that they vii
hold the body until the bill is set

a COUPLE.

A married and experienced friend
tells us than a man should always
be a little bigger than his wife,
and little older, little Drawer,
and little stronger, and a little
more in love with her than she is
with him.
A woman should always be a
little younger, and little prettler,
and little more considerate than
her husband. He sh ould bestOw
upon her all his worldly goods, and
she should take care of them. He
may owe her every caro- and tender
ness than affection may prompt
but pecunIsly indebtedn ess to her
will become a burden. Better live
on a crust that he earns than on a
fortune th at she has brought him.
Neither must be jea lous, or give
the other cause for jealousy
Neither mustencOurage sentimental
friendshi p with the opposite SEX
Perfect confidence in each
other, and reticence concerning
their mu.tal affairs, even to mem.
bers of their own families, is first
necessity.
A wife sh ould dress herself be
comingly whenever she expects to
meet ner husbands eyes. The
man should not go slOvenly even
at home.
Fault finding, long arguments
or scOldin gs, ends the happiness
that begin 8 in kisses and love
making. Sisters and bro theirs may
quarrel anti snake 1t up" Lovers
are lovers no longer after such dis
turbances occur, and married peO
pie who are not lovers are boun'
by red hot chains. lfa man 40
mires his wife most In striped
calico, she is silly not to wear IT,

A WOMAN'S LOT,
COME EAROUND

Mrs. O'IIara wOnd cred why her
daughter Kitty was so sad all that
cold winter when they lived shut
up in the hills. She half suspect
ed that young Squire DyltOn had
something to do with it. lie had
fallen from horse near their cabin
one day and for some weeks had
been laid up with only Kitty to
nurse him until he was able to be
moved home.
Poor Kitty knew well enough
that he was engaged to marry
Lady Maude Silverton, for he told
her so with his own lips, but still
she could not repress the growing
love for him in her heart.
lie promised faithfully when he
went away that he would return
and see her IN the summer and
BRING his wife with him, and she
had to content herself with even
that poor hope.
The summer came and winter
drew near. Mrs. CHara tried in
vain to rally her daughter from the
lethsrgy into which she had fallen.
Kitty was like a ghost of her form
er self. One day she laid down
on the sofa near the open door,
weak and heartsick, and fell into a
troubled sleep.
"YOu said you'd come in the
summer, and the summers gone,"
she muttered. "pd like to see you
once again before L She will for
give me-yOur-yOur- when I'm
dead :" The sleeper shuddered,
and slig hit smile played around
her mouth.
Some one bad nOiselessly entered
the parlOr and was sitting by the
head Of the couch looking at her
inten'ly.
"And / never guessed that she
cared for me-pOOr little Kitty p

her sO-wben-. In bewilderment
she started round the room.
"'Where is Lady Maude 7" was
the first sentence she uttered.
"Iady Maude, now the Countess
of Altonleigh, is, / believe, in Rome
at the present moment"
"What do You mean 2 thought
you were going to marry Lady
Maude.'

such an alliance being formed once

He rose, lifted his crutch, and
held out his hand. Kitty touched
it lightly, and looking at him shy
