Had His Picture Taken.

have had my picture taken. 1t
was my second offense, my first sin
having gone out of print. Mr.. Ball
took my picture, and Mr.. Rindahl
cured it. They did the best they
could by me. Mr.. Ball has the repu-
tation of being very good in difficult
cases. He worked hard with me,
and I feel grateful to him for his
kind attention during the critical
period. He arranged me in front of
a pair of lace curtains that were
painted on the wall with a white
wash brush and pa-ted on the same
side as my hair. This, Mr.. Ball
said, would give the picture home
like appearance and would perhaps
help to divide up the gaze of the
person who might be examining the
picture with an idea of keeping it.
Thus assured that there might be a
likelihood of giving one away, to
Mr.. Ball to take an impression, ar
l would be around and read t.
proof, He then took up the rubber
ball and told me to watch the hair
wave on the top of his head, and the
business clicked, and my picture
was taken. Grafton Record.

Queer Horseshoes.

In Iceland horses are shod with

pose, the shoes being fastened with
horn pins. In the Sudan the horses
are shod with stocks made of cam

Lincoln's Good Heart.

The following testimony to Lin.
coin s unfailing kindness is borne
by Mr.. C. A. Dana, who had abun
dant opportunities to see the presi
dent under circumstances that would
be sore trials to any mans temper:
He was kind at heart, not from
mere politeness. I never heard him
say an unkind thing about anybody.
Now and then he would laugh at
something jocose or satirioal that
somebody had done or said, but it
was always pleasant humor.
noticed his sweetness of nature,
particularly with his little son, a
child at that time perhaps or 8
years old, who used to roam the de-
partments and whom everybody
called Tad He had a defective pal
ate and couldn't speak very plainly
Often have sat by his father re-
porting to him about some impor-
tant matter that had been ordered
to inquire into, and he would have
this boy on his knee, and while he
would perfectly understand the re-
port the striking thing about him
was his affection for the child.
He was good to everybody. Once
there was great gathering at the
White House on New Years day,
and all the diplomats came in their
uniforms, and all the officers of the
army and navy in Washington were
in full costume. A little girl of
mine said:
Papa, oouldn t you take me over
to see that?'
I said yes. So I took her over and
put her in corner, where she beheld
this gorgeous show When it was
finished, I went up to Mr.. Lincoln
and said:
II have a little girl here who
wants to shake hands with you
He went over to her and took her
up and kissed her and talked to her
She will never forget it if she lives

Humanity and the surging Sin.
by ]. Dhu Hughes.l

The world hates the drunkard anC
laughs at him. The world loves the
drunkard-maker and laughs with him
The outcast and the drunkard are
bracketed together in the same police
Epigeonhole. 8. The drunkard-makel
and the bishop receive equal fame in
the archives of humanity. There is
little differences in their death, but
much in theirafuherals. To all Of
them eternity is the same.
Hatred of any man. be efdrunk On
sober, is.~unchristian. Mockery of a
drankard is demoniac. Yet, the butt
of the htfmorist, the model of the
press artist, is the drunkard He is
treated as a joke, as laughable man,
and humanity laughs with the joker.
The drunkard isa joke eyen.in a. po-
lice court, and the magistrate sensi-
BILE of his own thirst, finds humor in
the common drunk
Women fear to-, rustic their skirts
against his loathsomeness. Children
/ flee from his tortdous approach. The
drunkard-maker welcomes him with
the grin of a satyr,: And-the world
laughs at him. And Jesus weeps
again
Wherein lies the greater sin? The
mocking world is sober, and there
fore responsible. The drunkard is as
a sponge of alcoholic pollution, and
therefore irresponsible. Which is the
greater sinner-the drinker or the
Joker?
Edward Phillips was charged with
intoxication, and arraigned before the
august majesty of the law as repre-
sented by a city magistrate, who ad-
dressed the culprit in these words: 81
will send you to the workhouse on
the charge of intoxication, and you
can imagine yourself Tom Plat or.
Chauncey Depew, and the time will
pass more pleasantly"
The world laughs at the drunkard
and with the magistrate, much the
same ashley laughed when Peter the
Great chopped off the head of
sleeping drunkard that be might
awake in Paradise! Some people
consider it funny to drink whisky out
of a feshless skull. The drunkard
joke is on'par with the death joke.
Here is another instance of the
way in which the same magistrate re-
CARDS drunkenness: Edward King
was charged in the police court with

Such is the attitude of thoughtless
humanity towards the greatest evil in
our midst. The man who can coin a

ody hymn is sanity compared with !
the one who can mock single soul

if such has been estimated our au-

we are glad to note the fact that there
was at St. Louis less drunkenness
than usual in Republican political
convention, still there was drinking
enough to render farcical the "tem-

 Now, if you turn to the long and elaborate pedigree of the ancient family of the Horseleighs of Clyfton Horseleigh, you will find no mention whatever of this alliance, notwithstanding the p4iv- ilege given by the sovereign and head of the church, the said Sir John being therein chronicled as marrying, at a date apparently earlier than the above, the daughter and heiress of Richard Phelipson of Montislope, in Neither Wessex, lady who outlived him, of which marriage there were issue two daughters and a son, who succeeded him in his estates. How are we to ao- count for these, as 1t would seem, con- temporaneous wives? A strange local tradition only can help us, and this can be briefly told.
 
 One evening in the autumn of the year 154O or 1541 a young sailor, whose Christian name was Roger, but whose surname is not known, landed at his native place of Havenpool, on the south Wessex coast, after a voyage in the Newfoundland trade, then newly sprung into existence. He returned in tho ship Primrose with 0 cargo of "trayne pyle brought home from the New Founde Lande," to quote from the town records of the date. During his absence of two summers and winter, which made up the term of a Newfoundland "spell, many unlocked for changes had occurred within the quiet little seaport, some of which closely affected Roger the sailor. At the time of his departure his only sister, Edith, had become the bride of one Stocker, respectable townsman, and part owner of the brig in which Roger had sailed, and it was to the house of this couple, his only relatives, that the young man directed his steps. On try ing the door in Quay street he found 1t locked, and then observed that the win dows were boarded up Inquiring of l ho 1o1 Ahn Arc of the death of his brother-i in law, though that event had taken place near | ly 19 months before.
 "And my sister Edith?" asked Roger.
