those rare old couples who seem to
have grown nearer and dearer to each
other as the SHOWS of the swiftly-pass-
ing winters have made their locks
whittier and scantier. She was dear
old lady with 4 tender voice and con-
tding manner, and her pretty little
artistocratic hands trembled as She held
to the light the handkerchief she was
examining. He was broad-shouldered
and white-bearded, and he wore O
black broadcloth coat buttoned closely.
He caught sight of some pretty, frivol-
ous-looking scarfs that the girls wear
on their heads going to and from the
hops. Bringing gay pink one over
he showed ii to his wife.
Here is something you mus have,

You need it when you sit on the

Between them they selected a pretty

that even that was too gay for her he

How Grant Escaped At DoneIson.

The following incident has never be-
fore been published, and its entire
truthfulnesS can be substantiated to
the satisfaction of any who may desire
it:
On the morning of the surrender of
the Confederate troops at Fort Donel-
son, Federal staff officer approached
the works occupied by Baldwin's
Brigade, of Buckner.s Division, and
inquired for the headquarters of the
bridgade commander, he was shown
to the quarters of Col. John c. Brown,
Third Tennessee Infantry, who was
temporarily in command of the brigade.
Upon meeting Colonel Brown the
Federal officer announced that he had
been sent forward by General U. S.
Grant, commanding United States
forces. TO learn the location of the
brigade headquarters. and that he would
return and inform the Federal COM
mander. The officer then rode back to
the line of works. and meeting General
Grant and his staff conducted them to
the tent of Colonel Brown.
Colonel Brown. allow me to intro
duce General Grant commander of our
forces
Colonel Brown acknowledged the in
PRODUCTION by a polite though formal
bow.
Colonel Brown. it gives me pleasure
to take by the hand an officer who has
made such brave defense" and, remov-
ing his hat. the Federal commander
leaned from his horse and extended his
hand, which Colonel Brown accepted
with that grace and dignity which, with
his gallant bearing on the field, so
distinguished him afterward as a maj or-
general.
After few minutes the party passed
on toward the village of Dover, the
Confederate headquarters, leaving
Colonel Brown standing before his tent.
As he turned to enter he saw, approach
ing from the direction of the fort,
Confederate lieutenant mounted on
splendid horse and riding at break
neck speed, his hat drawn tightly down
and a full-siZed ''nayy-siX' particularly
noticeable in his right hand. An in
slant more and Colonel Brown had
seized the madman's bride, with
Where are you going, sir?' ITO
shoot that d-n Yankee officer; now
loose my bride, or I'll shoot your And
the man raised his pistol while he
foamed with rage.
I'VE have surrendered, sir, and"
Loose my bridler'
Il will not. sir-you shall not do"
Colonel Brown, for the third and
last time, [ tell you, loose my bride
REIN
Drop that pistol" and the man,
thrown off his guard by quick move
ment of his horse, found himself cover
ed by the pistol which Colonel Brown
had suddenly drawn
A moment of hesitation and the mad
lieutenant's pistol fell upon the ground.
Now. dismount," and with one look
that satisfied him of the firm purpose

Our PART IN THE PLAN OF PROVIDENCE.
Little Matte, who had not seen her
sixth birthday, who had been to church
with her mother and listened to a sermon
on the care which God bestowe on hu-
mainly and the provision He makes for
the need of every humansbeiug.
When they reached home, Matte sat
down in her little chair and after few
moments of quiet thoughtfulness said:
"Mamma, does God give us every
single tLine2"
Yes" replied her mother, "every
thing we have God gives us" Matte
looked somewhat disappointed at this
reply, but after little reflection, bright
ening she said:
"But mamma, if God does give US
every single thing, we keep house our
selves any way, don't we?"

The amount of water passing over
Niagara Falls varies with the height of
the river. Prof. w. ID. Cunning es-
times the average amount at $4,000
600 cubic feet per minute. Allowing
sivty-two and one-half pounds to the
cubic foot this would give a total of
562. 500 tons per minute, or %, 312. 800
tons in forty-tive minutes, of which
somewhat more than two-thirds passes
over the Horseshoe falls. Other esti-

Pointers From an Undertaken.

by dying nov Il man can save money.
Never in the history of IL distin-
guished profession has it been possible
to secure a respectable interment for so
small an amount of money as at pres
ent. The inventions and improvements
which always cheaper commodities
have, in our business, kept apace with
the times. A decade ago there was not
much difference in prices and methods.
Now, there is every difference. Ten
years ago any funeral would average
$50; now there is no average. a man
can spend profitably $1,000 in getting
properly planted; Or he can have tho
thing done in pretty good shape for IL
weeks salary, and he'll feel just as sat
istied as though he were investing a for
tune in it. Some people are very APP
prehensiYe concerning their funeral,
and others don't think about it at all.
II 4 man wants to have the thing done
properly, and go without a hitch. $50
will make a pleasant display in his
neighborhood. There has been a cut
in rates among u%ndertaker5 of late, and
prices are at bottom rock. After q little
the trouble will be adjusted and the old
scale restored. But our inducements
at present should not be overlooked.
Now is the time to die.-St. Loais

wHArTHENEw YEAR BRINGS.

The new year brings a change of calen-
dars, and the farmers wife must have a
new almanac. No well organized farm
er's wife could keep house without an
almanac When her mother--yes, when
her grandmother was an infant-the al
manac hung on the wall beside the look
ing glass ard comb case, and when her
gIandfather's father wanted to cut the
rye, he looked into the almanac to see
whether it vas going to rain, and when
crandmother's mother wanted to set a
hen she looked iuto the almanac ''to see
where the sign was,' SO as TO regulate
biddy's incubation and insure healthy
chickens.
The new year brings bills. There is a
great deal of sorrow cOmpreiended in that
sentence. There is no man living who
really enioys Tic arrival of bills. 1t isn't
in human nature. We all like 10 keep
what We have. Bills are always larger
than a man expects. He will look at them
in dismay. Surely he has never run up
all that long list Of ite,ns! There must be
some mistake; somebody elsc's bill has
been mixed with his. Al that sugar, all
those beans, and that array of snniries
consumed by his family? And nobody to
feed but his wife, his wife's mother, the
six children. the servant girl and himself.
But then it is hardly worth while to men,
ton himself; he is such a small eater, as
every man thinks lie doesn't do much to-
ward swelling the grocery bill.
The man complains to his wife and points
ont the items. and says there must have
been things wasted, yes wasted. And if
there is anything that will try the patience
OF a good housekeeper, it is to be told that
things are wasted! As likely as not before
they settle the question to their mutual sat
isfactiop, the man has broken one of the
resolutions he made, and the woman has
got all stirred up and told him she wished
She had never seen him, Thank fortune,
this all blows over without any great
storm, and the new year is entered upon,
and will close with the same scene over
again.

E
come of the Evils of What Physicians
Call "~Asynmetry."

Call .Asynmetry."
The two sides of the human body are
co~unterparts, but never precisely simie
lar. The ears, eyes, the limbs are like
but different, even in bodies most per-
fectly formed. This disproportion
sometimes takes the form of apparent
malformation, and is at n c recognized
as a disability and misfortune; but it is
often an unknown evil, bringing in its
train serious ailments which are at
tributed to other cause The doctors
call it .'asymmetry," which Is, in iaet,
a want of symmetry. DR.. Thomas Il.
Morton, Of this city, has made within
the last few years some important in
v~estigations of bodily dispropertion,
more especially directed to the length
OF the legs of men and women 1t APP
pears to be a quite common occurrence
that there is a difference in the length
of ones legs, sometimes amounting TO
as much as / 1-2 or > inches. People
90 about all their lives on this Uneven
footing without knowing it. This want
of proportion is the frequent cause of
disease of the spine, curvature result
ing from the constant twist and shock
of Uneven locomotion. As Il curious
eorollary of the evil effects OF locomo-
ton in a human machine out of line
as shown by DR.. Morton recently at tho
Orthopedie Hospital, Nh. W. +. Lock
wood explained the mischiefs resulting
from the use of s.short-legged locomo-
tives'' on railways. In loeomo-
tives of ordinary construction the
driving power that pulls the
train along in its application
is not a continuous but an intermittent
force. As q consequence a locomotive
does not go forward steadily, but by
Jumps. The effort to correct this de-
feet by the centrifugal energy of coun-
terweights on the driving-wheels of
engines is a partial failure. In it's up
ward motion the counterweight lifts
the wheel from the track and lessons
its bite upon the rail. and in its down.
ward motion it pounds the rail with
continuous blows. the destructive effect
of which is apparent on every track
in the country. The effect of the jerky
motion of the engine is not limited to
destruction of the rails on which %itruns,
but wears out the life Of the engineer
and wearies the passenger. Engineers
are peculiarly subject to forms OF dis
ease brought on by continuous shock.
When the number of locomotives arc
considered, the number of men who ran
them, and their important relation to
the business of the country, the qies-
ton of locomotive asymmetry becomes
an interesting one. The locomotive
and the track upon which it run are
really parts of one machine, and the
curvature of the rails resulting from
the pounding Of the engine may well be
compared to the curvature of the spine
in a short-legged man. Dr.. Morton
remedies the short leg by adding the
necessary length to the heel of the shoe.
