Mark Twain's Uourtship.

Mark Twain, if he is in the mood,
will tell the story of bis own courtship
i'll a manner worthy Of the greatest liv-
ing hunorists. When he first met the
lady who afterward became his wife,
he was not so distinguished as now,
his origin was humble, and for some
years of his life he had been pilot Oh
the Mississippi river. The future Mrs.
Clemens was woman of position and
fortune, her father was judge and
doubtless expected family and social

ems, however, became interested in his
daughter, and after a while proposed,
but was rejected.
"Well," he said to the lady, 81 didn' t
much believe you'd have me, but l
thought I'd try.''
After while he tried" again, with
the same result, and then remarked
with his celebrated drawl, "L think a
great deal more of you than if you d
said yes but it's hard to bear" A
third time he met with better fortune,
and then came the most difficult part
of his task, to address the old gentle.
man.
Judge" he said to the dignifed mil
lionaire, ''have you seen anything go
ing on between Miss Lizzie and me?"
what! What!" exclaimed the
Judge, rather sharply, apparently not
understanding the situation, yet doubt

Have you seen anything going on
between Miss Lizzie and me?"

LOYALTY in the Family.

There is nothing more delight1a1 IN
social life than family whose mem
bers airy loyal to one another; and few
things are less pleasant to behold than
a family whose members have knack
of sho wing, On every occasion, the out

man must bear his own burden" and
it is not always necessary to ADVERTISE
ust how large that burden is.
I know of families where the mem
bers criticize each others little faults
and peculiar home ways freely, even to
accidental callers, who can only feel
disgust at such a lack of friendship
shown to those who have the best right
to claim it, and the question lmmedl-
ately proposes itself How much better
ahall fare, when l, too, am absent?
In bright relief to these are families
where honor, truth and loyalty are not
mere words, where brother is defended
against all corners, not only because
Ehey believe him to be in the right, but
because he is their brother.
Where family secrets are never d.
vu!ged, where faults Of temper and
manner are lovingly forgiven, and hid
den from the too curious gaze OF stran'
gers, where Julia is not publicly laughed
at because she wears her dress All inch
shorter than fashion requires, nor Tom

FOR THE LADIES.

Success with CLOSING iron depend
fully as much On the starch used as o.
The ironing. Knead the collars, cuffs
etc, into the starch, and rub it wei
and evenly into them; then roll 'eac&
separately in a clean linen cloth. Leave
them till required for ironing, when, j
dry, they must be sprinkled with lit
tie water. Iron them carefully with al
ordinary iron, then damp then
slightly with clean wet muslin rag
and use the CLOSING iron steadily til
the gloss comes, when they should bt
hung before the fire TO stiffen. Yor
use CLOSING iron much as you do al
ordinary iron.
Some new jackets have been brought
out with capes in front, which terrni.
nate over the aim, where they hang like
an oblcng outer sleeve. The newest
cloth Jackets are double-breasted, with
large fur revers a PEmpire, and have
broad square turn. down collars at the
back. Gray cloths with gray Astrachan
are novel and stylish. Brown velvet
and otter are combined in many OF the
new patterns with rich gold gallons.
Coats of quite new forms have the en-.
tire front of otter. an otter coat flying
open and showing further otter Innings.
At the waist there are broad girdle
pieces wrought in gold. Rich bro
caded WOODEN stuffs, with large pat
terms. are also employed for these coats.
Among the new woollen materials
there are some very pretty striped of
two shades on a rough background;
fancy and plain stripes alternately also
look we'll. There are also variety of
pretty plaids; the colors rather novel,
are green, red and blue together, and
green, yellow and brown. These make
up prettilv for ch;ldren's costumes or
for ladies' petticoats. Among the
plain cloths, bright colors are very
noticeable, and are intended for the
smart little coats which all young girls
affect, or for the waistcoats aud fac
ings of more sober colors. In brocaded
woollens there is an excellent variety,
suitable for gowns, nantes, or for the
large circular cloaks that are to be the
fashionable wrap of the winter. The
necessity for lining these cloaks de-
ponds much on the thickness of the
cloth; the very heavy cloths do not re-
ouire lining, but the hoods which are
worn to some, are always lined with
celored silk or velvet. For slight dg-
ures. and children especially, this cloak
is very becoming and comfortable.

The True Wife.

Oftimes I have seen tall ship glide
BY against the tide as if drawn bv some
invisible bow.line, with hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sails
were untitled, her streamers were all
dropping, she had neither side~wheel
nor stern wheel; still she moved on
stately, in serene triumph, as with her
own life, But knew that on the other
side of the ship. hidden beneath the
great bulk that swan SO majesticallY,
there was a little t0ilsome steam tug,
with heart of fire and arms OF iron,
that was tugging it brayely on; aud 1
knew that if the little steam tug I'm.
twined her arm, and left the ship. it
would wallow and roll about, and drift
hithec and thither, and go off with the
rehuent tide, no man knows whittier.
And so have known more than one
genius, high. decked, fuil-freighted,
e.sailed, gay penoned, but that for
the bare, toiling arms, and brave,
warm-beating heart of the faithful lit
tie wife that nestles close to him, would
have gone down with the stream, and
have been heard of no more.
