He Wasn't Missed.

A citizen who stands pretty we'll in
his own estimation, and, for that mat
ter, in the estimation Of the public al
so, went abroad for period of years.
when he returned to Detroit the first
man he met was an old friend, who
was about to pass him with cool
bow.
"What's the matter" asked the re-
turned traveller. "Ain't you going to
speak to a fellow after such an alb
sence?"
absence 2" Been out of town ?"
"Out of town. Why, man alive,
I've been two years ip Europe"
"No? Can't be possible. Why !
never missed you,n said his friend.
The other turned away in anger and
button-holed an old chum, to whom
he said:
"Well, I've got back"
"Been over to NJ York 2" asked the
chum.
"Thunder, man I've been to the
Old World " exclaimed the disgrunt'
led voyager.
"You-don't-say-so ?" was the amaz'
d retort of the solemn looking chum.
The next acquaintance remarked as
he stopped q moment: IL haven't
seen you for u week or two. Had hay
feverW
That broke the combination. The
returned traveller got OH his dignity
and declined to notice any more of his
townsmen till they sent brass band
round to serenade him, and he learned
that it was put-up job to take hin
down q little. 1t is SO hard to per-
suade the average mortal that he vii

LIFTING THE HEART.-Gears ago
there lived near the sea-coast a dear
little old lady, whose whole life was
an act of devotion. She was so gentle
and full of grace, so slight in figure,
quick in motion that it seemed as
though Il breath would blow her away.
Once on stormy day we Glanced to
visit her. The wind howlcd round
the house, the snow came in great
swirls, and blotted the familiar feat
ures of the landscape out, while afar
off upon the waters the angry sky and
the sea met in indistinguishable out
line. 1.-The poor sailors?" said the lit
tie lady; 81 never forget them. The
last thing always do before | go to
bed ut night is to raise my curtain and
look over the sea, and lift up my heart

she probably never thought Of again
in connection with her hearers; but
never has the wind blown rs it blows
these December nights, when we can
almost hear the rush of the surging
waters in the bay, but the gentle eX-
preston comes back, 81 lift up my

of the states were to be appointed oy Vhe
President. Hamilton knew full well that
these views would not be endorsed by tne
convention, but he knew that by aiming htgh
the compromise when it came would come
nearer to the point he desired than by ad-
yancing more conservative views. his fore-
sioht proyed true and the Constitution was
adopted.
After its adoption by the convention the
tug of war was in its ratification by the leg
islatures of the several states. The people
were divided into Federalists and Antl-Fed-
eralists. The leaders of the former were
Washington, Jay, Madison and Hamilton
who advocated its ratification. Hamilton
threw the whole force of his genius ana
learning in the controversy. In the papers
called the "Federalist'' he and Madison sue
cessfuIIy answered every objection OF the
opposition. Hamilton was perhaps the t1rst
and greatest expounder of constitutional
liberty in America. To him the Republic
owes a perpetual debt of gratitude for having
established on firm and enduring basis the
true principles of free government his de-
Tense of any project was so forcible that he
often convinced his opposition. He was
Washington Secretary of the Treasury, and
the principles of finance laid down by him
can be seen in operation at present in this
department at Washington.
Vice President Aaron Burr ran for the
governorship of New York but was opposed
with all the force of which Hamilton was
master. Following his defeat, Burr chal-
lenped and killed Hamilton. The duel took
place at Weehawken. Prof. Miller drew
touching pictures of Hamilton's last hours,
both prior to the duel and at the death
bed. Then he contrasted these with the
manner in which the same time was con-
sumed by his murderer. His description OF
Hamilton's funeral was beautiful. He also
dwelled upon the last days of Burr, impress
ing his hearers with the mans perfdy and
punishment. In killing Alexander Hamilton
he ended life which, though short as it was,
represented centuries of history.
Space forbids that we follow the eloquent
Professor in his eulogium of this great man.
At close of the peroration he was greeted
with storms of applause.
A duet by Miss Higgins and Mr.. Chas.
Yeager, Mrs. jackson accompanies, closed

MONDAY the Cincinnati Police Court ran a
young German in and sent him to the work
house for 80 days for pinching girl. He is
known as Jack, the Pincher," and this is
the second time he has suffered at the hands
of the law for such diabolical way of show
ing his penchant for the fair side of hum an
ity. But even this tale is eclipsed by Ma
poleon youth of 10 or thereabouts who, to
manifest the ardent love rapidly consuming
his organ of blood, actually slapped the face
and pulled the flaxon locks of the object of
his affections--and this in good faith, too.

! The direct tax bill is law, and now the
question arises in our state as to what to do
with the money. This money was raised by
the state to provide for the defense and sup
port of the federal government against re-
bellion during the war, and was a tax levied
upon all states alike. The State Auditor is
inclined to think it should be refunded to the
different counties, while others believe the
amount should be applied to paying the
bonded debt of the state, or placed to the
credit of the general fund. The share of
Henry county amounts to $2,20S.04.

AN exchange says that this is good time
to begin on sassafras tea. Our blood is said
to be coagulated and SO thickened up it will
hardly flow at this time of the year. We do
not know why this should be so, but tradition
hands it down to us that our blood must be
thinned about this time, and it seems to be
the special province of the sassafras peddlers
to wait upon us. with his root. So if it's good

The Housekeepers Friend.

The pioneer friend to the American House
wife is "The Household" a monthly publica
ton founded by Geo. E. Crowell in 1868, and
printed at Brattleboro, VT, until last Janu-
ary, when it was moved to Boston, that it
might better serve its rapidly increasing list
of subscribers.
The Household, as its name implies, is de-
voted to the family, and contains helps and
suggestions fitted to every department of the
home, and to every member of the family.
Practical women contribute practical ar
ticles to the kitchen, dining room and sewing
room. Mrs. d. A. Lincoln, author of the
famous Boston Cook Book. furnishes "Prac-
tical Kitchen Talks" and menu ForlOne
Week, in each months issue.
The Easter number of The Household is
now ready. 1t contains an elegant cover,
choice Easter stories, and the practical de-
partments are illustrated. You can obtain
copies at the news stands, or you can send ten
cents to The Household Company, 80 Brom-
field St., Boston.
The EASTER -March-issue contains the Of
fer of three costly presents I'd the three sub
scribers who obtain the largest lists OF new
subscribers to The Household between March
1st and August 1st. The first present is 500
horse and carriage, the second an upright
Miller piano, and the third a Columbia BIZ
cycle.
This is the first time horse and carriage
have been offered by publisher in payment
for obtaining new subscribers. 1t affords an
opportunity for the ladies to obtain the best
household publication for one year. and also
to secure for themselves fine horse and car
riage, or for a favorite pastor or officer of a
lodge.
Another special feature is that every bride
in the country, of six months or less, can
have The Household for one year, by sending
ten two sent stamps and printed notice OF
her marriage enclosed in the letter, addressed
to The Household Company.
