FORCE OF HABIT.

There are many persons still liv-
ing who know that this story is true
Dave Ray was big, gawk of fell
low with a warm tender heart, but
dreadfully bad manners. He swore
like Mississippi river mate and,
being an impulsive chap with no
very intellectual gifts or attain
ments, he guffawed when he laughed
and blubbered when he wept, both
of which he stood always ready 10
do on seemingly slight provocation.
OF course he was boisterous and
sincerely patriotic-such men are
sure to be.
When the call was made by Pres
ident Lincoln for three months
men. Dave was among the first in
his village to enlist, though he re-
strained his younger brother from
doing so because somebody must
remain at home to look after their
aged, widowed mother.
On the day when the company
left the village Dave held his mother
in his arms for long time and
mingled the tears of his unbounded
affection with those Of hers. She
was not strong enough to go to the
train with him, but she kissed him
at the door and said with all her
loving heart:
"Good-by, my darling boy; good
by, and heaven bless you"
All was hustle at the railway sta
ton. The new soldiers were stand
ing in file along the platform, and
brothers, sisters, friends were run
ming up and down the line kissing,
shaking hands, embracing and weep.
ing. Then the train came up and
stopped and the soldiers filed into
the rear car, which had been re-
served for them. There was waving
of hands and handkerchief. Last
words were spoken through the
open windows and the train began
to move.
Dave Ray, very giant in stature
and strength, tore his way through
the crowded aisle and reached the
rear platform. His younger brother
ran along behind the train to have
and hear the last parting word.
"Good-by jack" shouted Dave,
his big voice drenched, so to speak,
in bubbling tears. "Good-by, Jack,
dear boy" and then, yelling with
the desperation of a loving son torn
for the first time, perhaps for the
last, from his mothers side, he
blurted out above all other sounds
Take care Of mother, jack"
and as his heart swelled to its ut
most with affection, his voice gave
forth its utmost strength: "Tell
her good-by, God d-n her."
1t was terrible speech to make
one which, you would say, should
rouse the laughter of all but those
whom it too greatly shocked. But
it did not. There was so much real
eioquence in Dawes surrender to
the force Of habit, SO much genuine
affection sent forth in this awful
appeal, that those who had small
griefs OF their own forgot them and
shed their tears for Dave.
Dave Ray was killed at Paducah.
His mother died before the three
months men came home. And let
us hope and believe nobody who
was present when that train drew
out, and heard the loving sons last
message to his mother, has ever
been so irreverent as to laugh at the
his habit, not his heart,
caused him to make.-Wash. Post.

Three Dollars a Week,

A Boston paper estimates the
number of girls in that city who
are employed in the manufacture of
ready-made clothing at 5000. Their
average wages hardly exceed So per
week. They work ten hours a day
on foot-power sewing-machines, and
are often compelled to lose time
from Inability to do that particular
kind of work. Poor as the outlook
Is for girls in this occupation, when
manufacturer finds occasion to in
crease his force there are several
applicants for each place. The rate
Of wages in this class of factory
work tend downward, while there is
an upward tendency in rates for do
nestlc service. Girls, even without
especial training, can always find
work in families, while there is a
surplus of factory operatives. The
problem Of the hour is to reconcile
American women to household
work. Their aversion to it is in
comprehensive. In the social scale
there can be little difference between
the factory girl, who has no home
and a girl in household service
The objection to household service
often given is that the work is never
done; that there isn hour at which
the girl becomes her own mistress
hHt on the other hand, the domes-
tic has the comfort and protection
OF home, and better prospects of
marriage than if she were one of
hundreds employed in factory.
