The President and His Stricken Cabinet

The President has laid down the
duties of his great Office to perform
those other duties which attach to him
as man, a Christian and friend.
No nurse could have been more tender
than he has been; no brother could
have been more devoted; no minister
of grace could have more sacredly per-
formed the last Offices of consolation;
no single thing was forgotten which
could tend to bring comfort to the
living or to do honor to the dead. The
President was almost the first to bathe
the brow of his unconscious Secretary.
He pressed the hand of poor Mrs.
Tracy and received look of recogni-
ton just as her spirit took its flight.
He was by the side of suffering Mrs.
Wilmerding, the daughter, a few mo-
ments afterward, and alone seemed
able to comfort her in her great dis
tress.
He performed that most painful
duty of informing Mr.. Tracy that his
house had been charnel house for his
wife and daughter. He sat for hours
by the side of his Secretary, begging
h m, for the sake of his living child
and grandchild, to try to keep his hold
on life. He found time to pay daily
visits to that ether house Of SORROW
the desolate home of Secretary Blaine
and to be one Of the chief mourners
at that funeral. He sent the carriage
of the White House and his daughter
and her husband, with an Admiral Of
the navy, to attend the funeral Of the
homeless French maid, and the liowers
from the Presidents greenhouse deco
rated that coffin.
There were garlands from the White
House for every grave. He waited
until the night was far advanced to
greet the son Of Mr.. Tracy, who tray
elled to Washington with all the speed
on a special train. He supported the
tottering form Of Mr.. Tracy as the
caskets were borne from the East
Room to the grave. He omitted no
act which Christian charity could die
tate,' or the tenderest human sympathy
could suggest, during all of this most
mournful tragedy. 1t is just to Presi-
dent Harrison to say that as he returns
to his official duty there is no public
man in Washington of either party
who does not think more kindly of tho
Chief Magistrate because of his act Of
tenderest human sympathy.

The revolution in Buenos Ayres is
over, but President Celman Is no better
off than he was before. The republic
is in a bad way and he apparently has
no resources that will enable him to
meet the emergency, except his hopes
rom an English syndicate. This is a
remedy from which most Of the South
American republics are suffering, but
1t is one that is worse than the disease.
England already owns some Of the
South American States. Next she will
attempt to rule them.

"She made the sign yes with her
head. Tears fell from her eyes. Then
with look showing me the cd man
motionless on the threshold Of his hut,
she said:
"'That is he.'
"And understood that she lo7ed
him yet, that she still saw him with her
bewitched eyes.
II asked:
"'Have you at least been happy?'
"She answered with a voice from
her heart:
"'Oh yes! very happy. He has
made me very happy. l have never
regretted
81 looked at her, sad, surprised
astounded by the sovereign strength Of
love! That rich young lady had fol-
lowed this man, this peasant. She, was
become herself peasant woman. She
had made for herself a life without
charm, without luxury. without deli
cacy of any kind. she had stopped 10
simple customs. And she loved him
vet. She was become the wife Of q
rustic, in a cap, in cloth skirt. Seated
on straw-bottomed chair, she ate
from an earthen rare dish, at wooden
table, a soup OF potatoes and of cab
bapes with lard. She slept on 8 mat
tress by his side.
ssShe had never thought of anything
but of him. She had never regretted
her Jewels, nor her fine dresses, nor the
elegancies of life, TOR the perfumed
warmth Of the chambers hung with
tapestry, nor the softness of the down
beds where the body sinks in for re-
pose. She had never had need Of any
thing but him; provided he was there,
she desired nothing.
"Still young, she had abandoned life
and the world and those who had
brought her, up, and who had loved
her. She had come, alone with him,
into this savage valley. And ne had
been everything to her, all that one de-
sires, all that one dreams of, all that
one waits for, all that one hopes for
without eud. He had filed her ifa
with happiness from the one end to
the other.
"She could not have been more
happy.
ssAnd ali the night, listening to the
hoarse breathing of the old soldier
stretched on his pallet beside her who
had followed him so far, thought of
this strange and simple adventure, OF
this happiness so complete, and so
true, made of so very little.
sAnd I went away at sunrise, after
having pressed the hands of that aged
pair"
The story teller was silent. .:.-Y
A woman said:
"All the same, she had ideas which.
were too easily satisfied, needs which
were too primitive, requirements too
simple She could only have .bees, q
fool"
Another said, in a low, slow and
tender voice, What matter! she was
happy"
and down there at the end of the
horizon, Corsica was sinking into the
night, returning gently into tae sea,
blotting out her great shadow, which
had appeared as if in person to tell
The story of those two humble lovers
who we're sheltered by her coasts.

"Beauvoir House, Christmas, 1889.
My Dear Mrs. Burchenal,- Your
very kind letter has been gratefully
received, and 1 am heartily glad to hear
once more of you and Capt. Day. l
am always sure, in thinking Of him,
that he is leading no unworthy life,
and had kno wn his address, would
have written long ago, to ask news OF
his passing years. Your memory OF
nv dear husband is that of most peo.
pie who could discern the grace OF
God which reigned in his heart. He
always answered to tenderness, an9
in your brother and you he found
gentlefolk in strong contrast to many
of those with whom his misfortunes
and those of his country enforced as
ISOLATION.
"We all remember you and Capt,
Day with tender friendship, and l
would be very happy if it were prob
able we should meet again on earth.
Most probably the letter you received
was written by me, for l have been
my husbands amanuensis for over
f ,rty years, and had plactised writing
like him until even he could not tell
which had written, actually. You can
understand now what the sudden lift
ing of these services off me isl can
not realize that there is nothing left
for me to do personally for him-that

with him, but the presence of guests
prevented my leaving home, or, rather,
he preferred I should remain with
them. He was i'll for week with
acute bronchitis, and the valuable time

When we thought him convalescent, a
congestive chill terminated his life in
five hours.
Neither of my children was with US.

Mrs. Hayes (Maggie) was in Colorado

Valuable Crop.

A western man, proud Of his i'm
mensely productive acres, was show
ing visitor from Vermont over his
farm, and, while Boosting somewhat
loudly of his own crops, turned upon
the Vermonter with the question:
You can't raise much back there
on those stony Vermont hills, can
youf"
'Oh, yes, yes; we generally get fine
crops"
But you don't raise much grain,
do you3"
oh, yes; we raise sight of barley"
You do2"
why, certainly; don't know wha,
our farmers would do if it wasn't for
their barley"
DO you get much for iti'
"Oh, we don't sell it, no, sir; we
don't sell grain of it."
You don't feed it to your stock9"
"Oh no, no; you don't ketch VI
wasting barley like that"
well, what do you with it then9"
why, man, we save every grain OF
it for seed-that's what we do with It'll"
This is the western mans story. and
he naturally thinks this queer kind
OF farming for profit. - Youth's

Helm Yourself.

Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favors from any
one, and you'll succeed a thousand
times better than one who is always
beseeching some ones influence and
patronage. No one will ever help you
as you can help yourself, because no
one will be SO heartily interested in
your affairs. The first step will be such
a long one, perhaps; but carving your
own way up the mountain you can
make each one lead to another, and
stand firm while you chop still an
other out. Men who have made for
tunes are not those who have had five
thousand dollars given them to start
with, but boys who have started fair
with well earned dollar or two.
Men who acquire fame have never
been thrust into popularity by puffs
begged or paid for, or given in friend
ly spirit. They have outstretched
their own hands and touched the pub
lie heart. Men who win love do their
own wooing, and I never knew man
to fail so signally as one who induced
his affectionate grandmother to speak
a good word for him. Whether you
work for fame, for love, for money, or
for anything else, work with your
hands and heart and brain. Say II
WILL" and some day you will conquer.
Never let any man have it to say, ~
have dragged you up" Too many
friends sometimes hurt a man more
than none at all.-Yorkville s. c.

10 ~ @n64 ifc insured it is srst
nece4kry to pass an examination by
physi Nan appointed by the company
one wishes to enter. TINS examlna-
ton. although a very simple process,
has no charms for most people. New
ertheless, it costs nothing, and enables
the applicant to know in just what
condition heart, lungs and other or
gans are.
Having first expressed to the agent
a desire for policy, you Ill out your
application, stating to whom the
money shall go if you should die, also
your age, occupation, birthplace, fam
lily history from medical standpoint,
and whether or no you ever have
been rejected by any other company.
Next step: The examining physi-
clan drops in and writes your answers
to string Of questions involving the
medical history of your family for
generations and your own medical
history. You viii be asked if you
have had any of the 500 ills that flesh
is heir to. the nature of your illness,
its duration, the name Of your attend
ing physician, and the present effect,
if any, of the disease on your system.
Next step: The physician takes out
his stethoscope, and you take off your
coat and vest The stethoscope hav-
ing been adjusted, the NJ. D. hearkens
to the pulse like waves that murmur
through the hidden caves Of your
heart. Diastole and systole, auricular
and ventricular conditions are care
fully noted, and if some tiny valve,
through Incidence or inability, does
not open and shut with clockwork
precision, the stethoscope gives you
away to the NJ. D., whose face betrays
his anxiety for your future. If he is
a doctor of the old school, or a doctor
gifted with nice discriminating sense
of hearing. he detects the weakness Of
your cardiac apparatus by placing his
ear against your breast, and by either
of these methods the doctor discovers
when you breathe whether your lungs
are clear as a whistle or some one Of
the tiny bronchi is clogged or affected
with incipient tuberole.
Next step: Your medical examiner
extricates a tape measure from his
hip pocket, and, spanning your chest

chest, his object being to find out your
chest measurement and the capacity
of your chest expansion. Over the
abdomen the tape is next extended,
and the circumference of that region
noted. Tape measure put away, he
notes whether your pulse is normal or
otherwise. Your height and weight
are now jotted down. Then he takes
precautions to learn the condition of
your kidneys, and the examination is
over
Do you breathe easierl Oh, no; not
until he has forwarded his report to
the company and you have heard the
glad tidings that you are 0. K, and
may take out policy. Of course if
your application is rejected you do not
breathe quite SO easily.-Exchange.
