A Prosecuted Man,

An American mechanic living in
Mexico has been arrested for having
married thirteen times. This is four
more trips to the altar than curious
old statute of that republic allows, the
limit having been placed at nine. In
addition to his aggravated matrimonial
habit the mechanic managed to have
his successive wives die with sus-
picious regularity. Possibly he is only

being unrighteously prosecuted is con-
tending against serious disadvantages.

How Mark Twain Proposed.

Mark Twain's wife was Miss Lang.
don of Elmira. When Mark first met
her he was not so distinguished as
now. Her father was a Judge, and
doubtless expected " family" and
social importance in the son-in,law
Clemens, however, became interested
in his daughter, and after while pro-
posed, but was rejected. "Well," he
said to the lady, 81 didn't much believe
you'd have me, but l thought I'd try"
After while he "tried" again with
the same result, and then remarked
with his celebrated drawl: " l think
great deal more of you than if you'd
said yes but it's hard to bear" A
third time he met with better fortune,
and then came the most difficult part of
his task-to address the old gentleman.
Judge" he said to the dignified mil
lionaire, 81 have you seen anything be-
tween Miss Lizzie and me?' What,
whatl' exclaimed the judge, rather
sharply, apparently not understanding
the situation, yet doubtless getting a
glimpse of it from the inquiry. Have
you seen anything going on be ween
Miss Lizzie and me?" mo, indeed"
replied the magnate, sternly; no, sir,
/ have not" "Well, look sharp and
you WILL" said the author of " limo
cents Abroad y; and that is the way he
asked the judicial luminary for his
daughters hand.-Ihe Churchman.

The Results of Modern Education.

With all its novel modern powers and
practical sense, | am forced to admit
that the purely scientific brain is miser-
ably mechanical. 1t seems 10 have be-
come splendid sort of self directed
machine, an incredible automaton,
grinding on with its analyses or con-
structions. But from pure sentiment,
for all that spontaneous, joyous Greek
waywardness of fancy, for the tempera-
ture of passion and the subtler thrill of
ideality, you might as well look to a
wrought-iron derrick. Science found
education laundering peacefully along,
cultivaling half of the mind with
charming results and letting the other
die of disuse; it worked the startling
miracle of electrifying this dead half
into life and bringing it to perfe CT
activity; and straightway, satisfied with
this remarkable achievement, it pro-
ceeded to neglect the ideal half which
the classics had made so much of, and
caused it TO perish. 1t has substituted
a new sor, of Mailman for the old one.
What would be thought of worldwide
school of athletics which should bind
up the right leg till it withered aud be-
came forever impOtent, aud make its
graduates hop through life on the left?
And what student of education could
believe it possible that a new great cul-
ture would arise which should gravely
bind up the left leg and make its men
hop on the right? Yet that is what
two systems of education are now
doing.-Ihe Forum.

Not with Silk.

1t is a very common habit, but a
great mistake, to mend gloves with silk,
as the silk will cut the kid more than
fine cotton thread, thus showing the
mend more plainly. For the same rea-
son it will not hold the edges of the kid
so firmly, but instead it will cut through
in time. You will notice that all kid
gloves are sewed with cotton thread.
The manufacturers understand the diff
ference in the material and use the
most satisfactory. Thread of all shades,
especially put up in twist for glove
mending, can be bought for trlfe.
If glove is badly torn or ripped, try to
match its color with bit of silk. Lay
this under the torn part and haste it
down in small stitches that do not show
on the right side. Then draw the rip
up as carefully as you can, taking up
very little of the kid as you do So

Potatoes in the Laundry.

To wash clothes without fading them,
wash and peel Irish potatoes; then
CRATE them into cold water. Saturate
the articles to be washed in this potato
water, and they can then be washed
with soap without any running of the
color. l have taken oil out of carpets
with this potato water when simple
cold water would make the color run
ruinously. Have also set the color in
figured black muslins, in colored me-
rinos, in ribbons and other silk goods
Often the potato water cleanses suffi-
GENTLY without the use of soap; but the
latter is necessary, find, where there
is any grease. In such cases (without
soap) | take the grated potato itself and
rub with a flannel rag. In wooden
goods it is necessary to strain the water,
else the particles will adhere, but this
is not necessary on goods from which
they can well be shaken. Correspond

The Moons of Uranus.
BY WILLIAM PALMER, wA1TsFrELp, VT.

1t has been supposed, until the pres
ent time, that the moons of Uranus re-
volve differently from other moons,
that their movements are retrograde-
i. e., like the hands of a watch. 1t is
now shown that they revolve the same
as other moons, but are seen in differ
ent position. Take your watch and
hold it up before your face. When the
hands point to twelve, they will be
moving from left to right; but turn
your watch round so that the back is
towards your face, and, if you could
look through your watch, you would see
it's hands moving from right to left. If
some great astronomer could reach over
and pull the orbits of the moons of
Uranus down this way so that the Or
bits are in the plane of the planets or
bit, he would see that they revolve the
same as other moons. If he could tip
up the orbits of the moons of Jupiter so
that they would be perpendicular to the
planets orbit, the moons of Jupiter
would then present the same appear.

A Brave Soldier, but Not a Warrior.

1.-The soldier is always more or less
brave" remarked the veteran, "and
even when he is not at all inclined to
heroism he will, when the tug of war
comes, rise superior to himself and do
great deeds of valor. It's funny to
hear man you know who will 90 right
up to a lannon's mouth when it is
loaded to the muzzle and a man stand
ing at the vent ready to pull the string,
express his feelings when the spirit
isn't moving him. Once when we were
down there before Petersburg, when
the shot was tearing up the ground in
forty places at once, was lying in a
safe corner with man who had only
few hours before come through per-
feet rain of fire, carrying the flag 10
point where he could shake it in the
enemy's face. We got to talking about
war in general and this sort of fighting,
and | said to him: If you had your
choice, would you have war this way, or
out in the open, face to face?'
There's only one way I'd have war;
he said, sharply. How's that?' L
asked. Have it over, and that mighty
quick he replied, and ten minutes
afterward he was doing deed that
won him his shoulder straps. "-Detroit

LincOln's Great Prophecy.

The prophecy of President Lincoln,
made by him in a private letter to a
friend in Illinois, has been frequently
quoted, but cannot be too frequently
read and pondered over. He said:
" Yes, we may all congratulate our
selves that the cruel war is nearing
close. 1t has cost vast amount of
treasure and blood. The best blood of
the flower of American youth has been
freely offered upon our country's altar
that the nation might live. 1t has, in
deed, been a trying hour for the repub-
lie, but | see in the near future crisis
arising that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my
country. AS result of the war corpo-
rations have been enthroned, an era of
corruption in high places will follow,
and The money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggre gated in
few hands and the republic is de-
stroyed. feel at this moment more
anxiety for the safety of my country
than ever before, even in the midst of
war. God grant that my suspicious
may prove groundless."

The Lone Arm.
by o. 8. RICE.


No weird, wild song of an empty sleeve,
BY the moons pale light my pen shall weave
This unworn sleeve that is folded so tight
Whispers no tale OF some far-away fight;
1t speaks, II It speaks or whispers at all,
OF common mishap in life's labor-thats
all.
l sing of an arm that is fearless and strong,
That gathers /" no odds " from earth's eager
throng,
That with patience and trust, by the SUM-
weirdless light,
Conquers its need by an undual fight.
No poetry fingers about the plain way
Where this lone arm is toiling so patient
today.
The other is missing; so this one must learn
The food for the children unaided to earn.
The home must be cared forts freside
bright,
Be the grass on the fields or its winter robe
white.
No pension comes round like the course of
a star,
No echo of glory is sounding affair."
o one arm, so fearless, so noble and brave,
Toll on for thy guerdon-the rest of the
gravel

Origin of the Sons of Veterans.

The order of the Sons of Veterans
was organized in 1881 by Major A. P.
Davis, or " Father Davis" as the boys
love to call him. Major Davis is a res
ident of Pittsburg, Penn. He is a man
in whom the military spirit has ever
burned brightly, He was horn in Gar
diner, Me-, in 1885. In 1S49 he sailed
to California in search of the god which
was the magnet of so many lives.
When the Crimean war broke out he
enlisted as a subordinate officer liz the
French naval service, in which he re-
NAMED to the close of the war. When
the war of the rebellion broke out he
enlisted in one of the first regiments
raised in the state of Maine He rose
from the ranks until, in 1865, he was
given the rank of major, and was mus
tered out as such. He has endeared
himself to the members of the order, as
has his good wife, who is known among
the Sons of Veterans as Mother"

The Dog of the Regiment.

If were poet, like you, my friend"
Said bronzed old sergeant, speaking to
me,
would make rhyme on this mastiff here;
For right good Union dog is he
Although he was born on secesh soil,
And his master fought in the rebel ranks.
II you'll do it I'll tell you his history,
And give you in pay, why-a soldiers
thanks
Well, the way we came across him was
this
We were on the march, and twas getting
late
When we reached farmhouse, deserted by
Save this mastff here, who stood at the
gate.
Thin and gaunt as a wolf was he,
And piteous whine he gave twixt the
bars
But, bless you, If he didn't jump for joy
When he saw our flag with the Stripes and
Stars.
" Next day, when we started again on the
march,
W iNii no NChb cuCh, WllHOuJ WOIu VI CALL
Stopping for rest at the order to halt
And taking his ratons along with us all.
Never struggling but keeping his place in
line
Far to the right, and close beside me;
And don't care where the other is found,
There never was a better drilled dog than
he.
He always went with us to the fight,
And the thicker the bullets fell around,
And the louder the rafting musketry rolled,
Louder and iercer his bark would sound;
And once, when wounded and left for dead,
After bloody and desperate fight,
Poor Jack, as faithful as friend can be,
Lay by my side on the field all night.
Andso, when our regiment home returned,
We brought him along with us, as you see;
And Jack and being much attached,
The boys seemed to think he belonged to
me-
And here he has lived with me ever since
Right pleased with his quarters, too, he
seems,
There are no more battles for brave old
Jack,
And no more marches, except in dreams.
" But the best of all times for the old dog is
When the thunder mutters along the sky,
Then he wakes the echoes around with his
bark,
Thinking the enemy surely is nigh.
Now, I've told you his history, write him
rhyme,
Some day poor Jack in his grave must rest;
And of all the rhymes of this cruel war
Which your brain has made let this be the
best"
