therefore asked him to preach. The
invitation was accepted. The time

There was pause, ominous pause,
as the preacher found his text. He
read it out--"Nine-and-twenty
knives" and began at once.

4 TENNESSEE CoURTSHIP.

A gentleman recently returned from
a trip through the South, describes
the following curious courtship, of
which he was witness. He says: Il
was in what is known as the flag
pond district of Union county, Ten
nessee, when a young man rode up i'll
front of the cabin where l was stop
ping and spoke to a girl who was dip
ping water from a spring.
"Howdy, Sal?'
"'Howdy, Tom"
"'Come, jump upon the boss an go
to Erwin with me-
"'What furY
Ter git married.
But yo' hain't done co'ted me
yit'
~ know l hain't; but I've been
too pestered with work. l allus in
tended to marry yer, though
"'But | hain't got no clos remon-
strated the girl
Well, We'll ride on yon side OF
Erwin to sister Mays in the cove, an
I'll git yer dress.
'Sho'ly, Tom?'
'Sho'ly, Sal

"'Best thar is in loves sto'.'
Not another word was said. Sa
dropped the bucket, and jumped upon
the horse shouting to her mother:
MAN. me an Tom is goin' tel
git married at Erwin. Well be by
here in the morEiu'.'
The mother started as if to call he
back; but the horse was galioping
down the lane, and she went ant

THE HEAD TO THE NORTH.

Speaking of sleeping with the head
to the north, a venerable physician
SAID recently: My opinion is that it
is piece of nonsense worthy of some
superstitious cid lady. l would rank
it with fortune-telling and tabie-tip-
ping. Some people believe in them.
Some people derive benefit from
having charms about their persons,
and there is no particular harm in
their wearing charms if they see fit.
OF all deluded persons, the hypochon-
drac is the most gullible and the
quickest to try experiments. Now,
this bed business is easily tried; it
does not cost any money. As a means
of securing sound sleep would advise
this: Keep the body perfectly clean.
Do not overload the stomach, but eat
moderately Of wholesome food. Dress
appropriately to the weather. Avoid
over-eXertion, but go to bed tired,
without deranging the stomach with
drinks of any kind. Have a good hair
mattress, with low pillow. Lie on
your right side with your mouth
closed Then, if your mind is not
disturbed by business or other trouble
you will sleep well. You may attrib-
ute the sound sleep to the position of
the bed, but | should say that the
other circumstances have much the
most effect. l rather think it is of
more consequence how men lie than
how beds lie"

MARRIAGE 4 SUCCESS,

Several men, at a railway station in
Mississippi, were discussing the
question, rs marriage a failure!'
when an old fellow who carried IL
horse-collar on one arm took large
guild OF tobacco from his mouth, threw
Ii against the stove, and then said

Just then tall, angular woman
stepped up on the platform of the
station, and, in sharp voice, called
out
"Zeb!"

had been arguing i'll favor of the hap

An INTERESTING SITUATION.

Some years ago an inquisitive medi-
cal student, while examining the
guillotine in a big waX-work exhibit
ton, took it into his head that the
sort of woke which fits down on the
shoulders of the criminal, to hold him
in his place, would not be sufficient to
confine a person who struggled. His
curiosity on that point led him to
watch until the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in, let
ting down the yoke. He soon found,
however, that he was quite unable to
lift it, and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp axe suspended
over his neck might not be very firm
ly fixed, or it would fall-as it should
with touch. He was afraid to
struggle, lest the shaking would bring
it down, and at once deposit his head
in the basket of sawdust below him,
into which his eyes were of necessity
steadily looking. Having stayed some
time in this plight, he was overjoyed
to hear the approach of a visitor,
whom he implored to release him. 1t
was in vain. Pm rhinking.n said the
gentleman-aS cotchman-to his wife,
that he must be hired to show how
the thing acts, and l think we'd better
not interfere" So the luckIess stud
ent was left until one of the attend
ants came in, and made fast the axe
before releasing him from his predica-
ment

Peter Dunlap turned his head from
the window where he WAS standing
and looked at his typewriter.

said he.

4 minute later he saw her whizzing
under his Office window on her bicycle.
Strange she would never tell me
anything about her folks" he unused.
The next afternoon when the other
cierl ks had gone he asked her again.

one who W daughter Of Lady Ca

who we're related to Lords and Dukes

Peter Dunlap, turning around in his
chair and facing her.
Il SIpI ose you never heard OF

Yes. it is"

a few weeks later Mr. Dunlap's sis
ter, the Admiral's wife, received a let
ter from a very distant little cousin III
the far West. She had been left an
orphan with small means, and wished
to come TO st. Louis on Il visit.
The Admiral's wife said to her
brother: "Of course | shall invite
her to come for long stay. She must
make her home with us, the poor little
thing, for she says she is only nine
teen, and next winter, if she is pretty
and presentable, l shall bring her out.

Young relative"

beamingly.
1T was quite society romance.
They tell it yet in st. Louis, how the
wealthy middle-aged Peter Dunlap
fell IN love at first sight with his first
cousin or his mother side, and how
she. though less than half his age, re-
returned his affection.
The wedding WAS n pretty one and
Mrs. Dunlap, nee Sweet, was quite an
imposing parsonage in her long veil,
her diamond tiara, AID her magniti-
cent silk dress. the first OF which was
loaned her by the wife of the Admiral,
who said that all of the brides of the
house of Dunlap had worn that veil.
