give promptly, to cbild's request, an
answer that can rightly be insisted upon
against all entreaties, parent must do
his thinking before he gives that answer,
rather than afterwards. Too often q
parent denies child's request at the
start without considering the case in all
its bearings: and then, when the child
presses his suit, the parent sees reasons
for granting it which had not been in his
mind before. The child perceives this
state Of things, and realizes that the
question is to be settled by his teasing,
rather than by his parents Independent
judgment and that, therefore, teasing
is the only means of securing a correct
decision in the premises.
Training child not to tease, is a
duty incumbent upon every parent; but,
as pre- requisite to this training of the
child, the parent must himself be trained.
When child asks favor of a parent,
the parent must not raply hastily, or
thoughtlessly, or withouta full under
standing of the case in all its involvings.
Unnecessary, be may question the child,
in order to better unders anding of the
case, or he may postpone his answer until
he can learn more about it; but he must
not be over quick to reply merely as a
means Of pushing away the request for
the time being. He must consider care
fully what his final answer ought to be,
before be gives an answer that the child
is to accept as final and when the parent
gives that answer, it ought to be with
such kindly frmness that the child will
not think of pressing his suit by teasing.
And thus it is that any well-trained
parent can train his child we'll in this
sphere.--,S. S. Times,

Eighty Two Weds Twenty-Five.

DASDuEY, CoSs., December o.
Allan Mcdonald, aged eighty.two years,
wealthy retired blacksmith, and Miss
Addie D. Bowen, aged twenty-five, a
New York book agent, we:c married
here last week by the Rev. Mr.. Hubbard.
The story of the marriage is curious
one. Mcdonald is childless and mis-
first wife died on November Z, 1855.
Except wealthy sister in Mississippi,
he has no one to inherit his property,
which is estimated worth S250,000. A
year from the day his wife died he an-
nounced that he would give half his
fortune to sny woman who would marry
him. BE insisted that the woman should
be young, pretty and spinster. A few
days later Miss Bowen called at lis house
to sell him a book. He refused to talk
about the book, but asked her if she
would marry him.
Miss Bowen thought he was crazy,
but Ending that he was in earnest, asked
for time to consider. He obtained tEe
address of her parents in New York and
visited them. He explained that he was
very wealthy and wanted some one to
inherit his property, adding that he had,
only few years more to live. "
Miss Bowen's parents thought the
proposal good one for their daughter,
and gave their consent. The couple are
now living in Mr.. McDonaid's fine
house on West street.

ticed q paragraph about man in the
East who was advertising for q wife.
Sidney said he thought that was fool

William said he didn't think it was,
and the brothers got into heated ar
gument oyer the question.

and they set to work to prepare the
terms Of the bet A contract was
drawn up in legal form and each signed
it. II provides that William shall go

A Poor Time To Squeal,

Representative William Engle, Of Ban.
cor. is what is known as self-made man !;
he has demonstrated that a foreigner can,
in this land, rise to positions of honor
in business and politics, by the pursuing
of an honest and upright course as be-
tween man and man and Bangor fathers,
when instructing their sons who are just
branching out for themselves on the prop.
er course in life, have often taken the re-.
cord of Mr.. Engle as one worthy of imi.
tation.
Mr.. Engle is an extensive lumber oper.
ator, aud one fall when up in a clearing
he ran across man who had barn full
of hay to sell. II looked nice on the out
side, and Engle struck bargain where.
by the man was to press it and then de-
liver to Engle's teamster for seventeen
dollars ton.
Later in the season be went into his
camp and there he found lot OF pressed
wire grass, which, he said. was not fit fer
horse to sleep on.
"What's this ?" he asked of the fore
mau. .
"Why, that's some hay you bought. :"
ri bought?"
"Well, said Engle, Il always thought
I was fool, but never was fool enough
to buy that stuff for hay"
But be had bought it. The interior Of
that hay NOW was big fraud, and when
the seller struck Epgel for settlement
he was told he was cbeat, and he could't
get cent.
But there came time when some set.
tlemeut must be made, and after much
discussion it was agreed the whole mat
ter should be left to one w. g. Davis, an
honest backwoodsman, who had toted the
material in.
Eugle was delighted-for this man Da.
vis had worked for him for years, and
William was quite sure good big slice
would be knocked from the bill, which a.
mounted to several hundred dollars. They
found Davis out in the hotel, and after
opening to him the proposition, all took
shingles and began to whittle, while En-
gle told his story in the true legislative
style.
The seller couldn't say much; he
thought the hay averaged we'll and would
have opened The mowif he had been ask
ed to do so, and on the whole made bad
work of poor case.
Then Davis, the juryman, whitfield
awhile after which he cooked his eye to-
ward the lumber king and asked
"Bill, you accepted the bay?"
"We.l-l, y.e s, my man did,"
"And you have fed it out?"
"Yes, the man did. He did MT have
any other feed"
Davis Whitfield awhile and then said:
"You bought the hay, Bill, accepted it,
and all winter you have been feeding it
out and betwixt you and me, William, |
think it's darned poor time to squeal."
Engel says he saw the point; says Pc,
tiers couldn't have beat the decision-and
he paid.-Lewisto1vn (lk.l Journal.

Kissed Her For tile Cigars.

"I'd give twenty-five cents for permis.
sion to kiss that GIRL" remarked an insipid
looking youth on an Atlanta bound train,
one night last week, indicating with
motion of his hand an unusually hand
some young woman asleep in seat near
by. The young man was one of group
standing in the rear of the crowded car.
Another young man said:
"You have my permission, sir, gratis"
"Fraid she wouldn't regard it as sufi-
cient," laughed the first.
"I don't know" replied the other; II
have great influence with good looking
girls-Pll tell you what I'll do: I'll bet
you good cigar can kiss he- without
waking her."
"Done" cried the insipid youth. 'Tll
give you a cigar if you dare DO it any
way, and two more if she don't wake up"
ats CO."
The daring young man stepped up to
the seat where the pretty girl slept, lean
ed over softly and kissed her squarely and
audibly upon her mouth. She stirred,
smiled little, but did not wake. The
group of men had watched the proceed
iugs in breathless suspense, and long
and simultaneous sigh broke from them
as young Impudence Strengthened up af-
ter the operation and rejoined the group,
several passengers who had seen the au-
dacious performance staring at him in
astonishment. "By Jove! that was ele-
gant!" the fellow of iusipid aspect ex-
claimed IS ne handed the successful kiss.
er his three cigars.
But there was another reckoning.
The conductor came hurryiug down the
aisle, and event for" the daring passen-
ger metaphorically speaking, "hammer
and tongs," crying: "See here, young
man, don't you ever try that again! Are
you a gentleman, sir? Don't you knows
that can arrest you for such perform
ance as that ?"
TIE young man colored, but laughed
nervously as be answered, "No, I don't
much believe you can. I guesa there isn't
an American law against fellows kiss
ing his own sister-is there ?"
It has not appeared yet whether or net
the young woman learned other hrctheF,e,.
astonishing exhibition of disrespect, or
whether, if she did, her displeasure les.
sened the qualification derived from the
cigars won in such questionable man.

Deny The Faets Who Can.

y
way, vas luminous, aggressive and in
parts exceedingly eloqucnt-Mr. Gra-
dy gave some statistics which will in
terest the American people. Here are
q few Of them:
II bcspeak your patience while with
rigorous plainness of speech, seeking
your judgment rather than your ap-
plausc, I proceed step by step.
ri present the tax books of Geor-
gia, which show that the negro, twen-
ty.five years ago a slave, has in Gcor-
gia alone s10,0 100000 ofassesecd prop
erty, worth twice that amount. Does
not that record honor him and vindi-
cate his ncighbors? What people,
pennilcss, illiteratc, has done so well?
"For every Afro-American agitator,
stirring the strife in which alone he
prospers, I can show you thousand
negroes, happy in their cabin homes,
filling their own land by day and at
night taking from the lips Of their
children the helpful message their State
sends them from the school house door.
"And the school house itself bears
testimony. In Georgia we added last
years25,OO0 to heschool fund, making
total Of more than 81 1,0O0,O00-and
this in the face Of prejudice not yet
conquered; of the fact that the whites
are assessed for s36S,000,000, the
blacks for s10,000;000, and yet forty
nine per cent. of the beneiciaries are
black children.
"Charleston, with her taxable values
cut half in two since 1860, pays more
in proportion for public schools than
Boston. Although it is easier to give
much out Of much than little out Of
little, the South with one-seventh Of the
taxable property Of the country, with
relatively larger debt, having received
only one-twelfth as much Of public
lands and having back Of its tax books
none of the s500,000,000 Of bonds
that enrich the North, and though it
pays annually s2G,000,O00 to yoursec-
tion as pensions, yet gives nearly one
sixth to the public school fund.
"The South since 1866 has spent
s122,0O0,000 in education, and this
year is pledged to s37,O0O,000 more
for State and city schools, although
the blacks paying one-thirtieth of the
taxes get nearly one-half Of the fund.
"Go into our fields and see whites
and blacks working side by side. On
our buildings in the same squad. In
our shops at the same forge. Often
the blacks crowd the whites from work
or lower wages by their greater need
or simpler habits, and yet are permit
ted, because we want to bar them from
no avenue in which their feet are fit
ted to tread"
When We get into a fretful mood
and feel inclined to fume against the
South these figures may serve to allay
our irritation: If the question is ask
ed: Could the North handle this grave
problem with more skill and success ?
our common sense will answer in the
negative.
The truth can be packed in nut
shell-for political purposes it pays
better to keep up the old sectional
feeling and to belabor and club the
South at every opportunity, but in
point Of fact, and when we are ready
to admit that on the whole the South
has done wonderfully we'll and made
marvellous progress.-N. T. Herald.
