A gentleman from Dooly tells the Amer

preacher had finished his sermon in one
OF the rural districts, young couple stood
up before him to be united in the holy
bonds Of matrimony. The parson ask cd
the usual question: "If any ono objects to
the marriage of A aud B let them now
speak or forever after hold his peace" Af-
ter u short pause he was about to proceed
with the ceremony, when young man,
minus coat, with unkempt hair, dirty face
aud red eyes arose and blubberingly said ;
"Mr Preacher, l object. Lizzie has promised
To marry me, and she has got my ring ON
her finger; and cause Bod gave her a
young filly and has new house she has

torted by flinging the ring 10 him. She

not promise to marry Jake. He gave me
the ring and l return it to him. wouldn't

without picking up the ring, while the
ceremony was finished in most approved
style, and the young couple LETT for the

Working Girls Clubs.

The idea of club for working girls

his heart seems hest worth having, his
love the richest gift you can possess, you
will not vulgarize as many girls do, the
tic that binds you. 1t is true you go with
him alone to hear some wonderful music,
or look mt some fine pictures. but hope IL
1t is not true that when you are at u party,
or In your own home, you two pair off and
make yourselves the object for silly chatter
and idiotic jesting
lie eau love you with his whole heart,
but he must not make you an object of ridi-
cule. He can think you the most uuseliish
girl in the world, but he must not show
his own seltishness by expecting you to do
vote your evenings exclusively to him,
ignoring those who are at home. Let him
come in and be one of theni--there's n
dear five minutes when he can speak to
you, when he can kiss you on the lips that
he knows are only the gatos to sweet, pure
speech, and when he can whisper the lovely
nothings that means so much To you both.
Then, too, don't let him feel that he must
give up all his friends for you don't ac-
cept valuable presents from him, and don't
assume an air of proprietorship with him.
Tell him nothing about your family affairs,
for the secrets of tho household do not
even belong to the man you are going to
marry. Guard yourself in word and in
deed hold his love in the best way possible;
tie ii firmly to you with the blue ribbon of
hope and never let it be eaten away by
that little fox who destroys SO many loving
ties and who Is called familiarity.

A Humble Hero's Death.

FROM the owensoorough (kyl Messenger.
Engineer Burns, who was killed in the
wreck at Robard's Station, in Henderson
county, few days ago. was the author of
heroic act ten years ago that made him
for a time famous. He was the engineer of
a fast passenger train on the main stem of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad.
One day he detected, only a short distance
ahead, little child sitting in the middle of
the track playing with its rattle. lie
couldn't stop the train the distance was so
short, but he ran out and climbed down on
the cowcatcher, and fastening one foot be-
tween the bars To balance himself, reached
out and snatched the child up Burns was
presented with gold medal and greatly
iionized by the press and people for this
heroic deed. Stories of this kind have
been read in the Sunday school papers, but
THIS was an actual occurrence. Burns after
ward became dissipated and lost his place,
but recently was re-employed and given
am important train, only TO meet this tragic
fate.

James Dennis, who died wednesday

strange dceth-bed confession: In u he
asserts that he was che chief actor In
the murder Of Mr.. and Mrs n. b. Mo-
Mullen, for which murder John r. Coffee
was hanged in the jail yard at Crawfords.
Vile on Oct. 9, 1885. His version OF the
crime Ii about ss follows: Coffee had
been working for McMulisn, who
owned a farm near Crawfordsville, and had
learned that McMuilen had about 500 con-
cealed somewhere In the house. He ap-
preached James Dennis, who was then out
OF work, and proposed that they try TO get
It. The night OF January 0 was deter-
mined upon, and Dennis went through the
house while Coffee stood outside. McMu1.
len was awakened and showed fight. Dem
mis- hit him over the head with club
several times, killing him instantly. His
wife escaped, only TO be caught In the yard
by Coffee, who hit her over the head, in.
tending to stun her, but instead killed her.
Thinking TO blot out all tracea Of the
crime, they dragged the bodies into

the execution, and appeared as non-coln.

Coffee made what purported to be full
confession in which he said he killed both
of the old people and exonerated Dennis
of all connection. The cause for this strange

thought that IL the facts Of the case had
been known Coffee would not have been
hanged.

senator Daniels Accident,

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who is in
almost as absent minded as Senator Stew
art, of Nevada, narrowly escaped what
might have been serious il not fatal acci-
dent In Washington on Thursday. The
senator had gone down into the basement
of the Senate wing To take look mt the
boilers and huge fans that furnish heat and
mir to tho chamber above. He proposed to
return by way of elevator, which ON tho
basement floor has no door. Not noticing
this, Mr.. Daniel walked into tho elevator
shan and searched about for bell button.
In the mean time the elevator loaded with
party of visitors, was descending slowly
over the senator's head, tho conductor,
In blissful ignorance of the fact that
there was any object between him and the
floor. The senator was still iudustriously
looking for the button. and swearing lit
tie because he couldn't find il, when fortu-
nately an employo came along the passage
and, seeing the descending elevator, warned
tho senator just in time to save him from
receiving its weight upon his head. As the
Virginia statesman scrambled out of tho
SHAFT into the corridor he muttered that
this was the second time that no had barely
escaped being killed In that way. and added
that the blank senatorial elevator would
kill somebody vet.

marks. There is no great exhibition OF
oratory In the body and in truth there
is little encouragement for II. The news
papers, though they print SO many
sheets, seem to have less space than they
eveo had for congressional proceedings
and speeches. We used to have col
umns daily of what was said and now
often we have nothing. 1t Is fact that
long speeches are still delivered In the
Senate. Mr.. Blair,o New Hampshire, took
q week or two to one this winter but the
public never heard word of what he
said. II did not amount to anything,
It 10 true, but we probably would
not have been given chance
to read II, II II had. II takes ex.
traordinary congressional oratory to get
place In newspaper columns. The
editor seems to think that the people do
not cares to read speeches unless
when campaign is going on, and
doubtless they are mainly correct. But
an intelligent and discriminating editor.
ial attention bestowed upon the congress

to the people and newspaper. We are
furnished with quite too meagre reports
of the doings and sayings Of Congress

Home Life.


In every home we find new varieties Of
inmates; also different degree of happi-
ness, and surroundings differing from
those in every other home. How compre-
hensive and interesting, then, is the sub
ject of home life.
In some homes we greet light t-hearted
parents and children happy in their love
and wise trainings the clouds seem to pass
by these households, leaving them the
warmth and brilliancy of unbroken sun
shine. In other homes we find discord,
unrest, and consequent unhappiness; no
member of the household is satisfied; all
are restless, some are ill-tempered. The
| sun seems never to shine into these dark
| ened places.
Then there are tho homes where life Is
marked by fluctuations, differing as clouds,
shower and sunshine alternate on days in
| April. Some of the inmates are merry for
| time, while others, morbid or despondeut,
| clash and alternate in their moods until
chaotic conditions produced are afflicting
to realize.
] The masses of humanity drift, and are
buffeted by the waves of chance, finding
their home wherever combination of cir
| cumstances lands them, irrespective OF
| their choice in the matter. No thought OF
attention is given to the important points
which make or mar health and happiness.
| Instead of graphing with circumstances
and making them subservient, these drift
| ing people permit circumstances to control
| them and their fortunes. In their home
| life they sometimes wear shackles which
| often cut to the bone, aud sooner or later
| wear out their victims.
Loose morals often result from the reck-
| lessness which this state engenders; chill
| dren are born into tho worst conditions for
their happiness and healthy growth. In
| fact, a survey of tho interior of too many
| homes reveals conditions which should in
| cite to actiNe @ measures for the enlighten-
ment and reform of their inmates. Those
| who would be useful in such beneiicent
work should begin in their own homes
| and strike deep at the roots of all discord-
ant elements and baneful influences They
then will be armed with wisdom to direct
and with strength to aid those who are
groping blindly in the obscuring confusion
of chaotic home life, dreading its shadows,
listless, apathetic, drifting into vice, and
exposed to hs frightful penalties.
| 1t would be an inestimable boon to those
unfortunate people If they could be awali-
ened to n realizing sense of the importance
| of thought and action toward securing in

A woman who dimes out is a study. Her
