A CAREFUL BRIDE.
She Didn't Give Hubby a Chance to
Make Any Declaration of
Devotion.

The happy pair had survived the con
CALCULATIONS of friends and relatives, and
were being whirled rapidly towards the
railway station, before the bridegroom be
gan fairly to realize that the vision of love
illness at his side was indeed his own.
A dawning sense of what he had gone and
done ; and of the sacred charge that was
now committed to his care began to Greer
upon his benumbed faculties, driving the
rose of health from his downy cheek anc
substituting therefor the pallor of haunt
ing responsibilities.

terrupted him somewhat brusquely.

He staggered up, and Jack-Jacl,
flew at his throat like terrier. The
girl screamed, the other man raised
mis- riding whip and struck down on
the boy. Jack yelled from rage and
anguish but chung to the choking
throat, never needing the first blows
ralned on him. The cottage was in
dreadful uproar; when in rushed the
stranger of the morning, and it is said
but You need not believe it unless
you want to-he used dreadfully bad
word. Those two foolish young men
never were in such trouble before. In
George Washington's great right arm
swung one of them, helpless, and in
the left another, and bump, bump,
bumpety bump, went the two empty,
foolish, braggart, BLACKBOARD heads,
cracking against each other like cocoa
nuts on a tree in a storm. When they
were almost senseless the general laid
them down. with force and thrashed
them viii, their own whips, and so
mangled and maltreated and mashed
them that, when at last they got to
their knees and begged for mercy,
their own loving mammas would have
Indignantly repudiated them as being
offspring of theirs. In the meantime
Jacky Pert danced about cheering on
his new friend, and Martha sobbed in
a corner, hiding her face and begging
"Mr. George" for so the general had
called himself, not to kill anybody,
and not to get hurt himself. And then
the general threw aside his whip and
made the rascals stand up before him,
but they could only face that raging,
righteous eye with bowed heads and
bowed knees.
"Gen. Washington" they mumbled
please let us go. lit was only the
wine. There was no harm done'
He waved them out, but the mis-
chief was done. At the words "Gen.
Washington" little Jacks jaw dropped
and he shook like a felon at the
thought that he had threatened to kill
the best and greatest man in that or
any other country. Martha dropped to
her knees, but the general made her rise
and accept the birthday gift he had
run to Mount Vernon and back to get
for her. Still, it was not the same,
and the general felt saddened as he
went homeward, just as every body has
felt saddened because he could not be
boy again.
However," said he to himself, with
smile, as he was dressing for the ball
in the evening, 81 have not had so

I'm growed up. Can't I, please? Grand.
pa says not to talk nonsense. 1t ISM
nonsense, is it, general? Can't I be q
hero when I'm growed big?"
Big Washington stopped and lifted
the child--did you ever know a hero
that didn't love children ?-and kissed
his cheek and whispered:
"None of us can be great or good
without Gods blessing. To be hero
you must be good as great. So pray
first and always that God will make
you good"
The little enthusiast looked deep and
grave into the generals eyes, suddenly
kissed the kind mouth hard, said: Il
will" and, sliding down, rode off with
his groom-alwaysa better man for that
caressing whisper.
When it was still long from the state
ly festival dinner George Washington
slipped away from the crowd at the
house and wandered off by himself
though with great dread that some pale
young man should jump out from a
bush and fire birthday ode at him.
Now he was off Mount Vernon farm
and by lane away from the main road
In the corner of the lane, in a most de-
serted, newly-cleared spot, about SO
feet back in the bushes, was the new
est of tiny cottages, with implanted
walls, and rough timbers, and newly
laid-out garden at the back. George
Washington looked from the wood
through which he was wandering, and
paused.
'That was not there when had time
before the war to run about" said he
''Who can they be? They're not AT
ricans. Oh, mol"
For from the house came bright

WIT AvERTED A STORM.
The Capital Device of a Congress

In the seclusion of the house cloakrooms
story is being told on western member.
There are 357 men in the house. Three hun
dred and fifty-six are hereby released from
any connection with the story. The other
man-and the other mans wife-will recog-
nize the truth of what is here recorded.
The western member went home at very
early hour in the morning. He had made a
night of it with some friends He knew that
his conduct would be considered reprehensi.
BILE by his better half, and so as he assembled
the steps of his modest home he racked his
brain for some plan to avert the lady's
wrath. As he entered the hall he saw an
umbrella Instantly it occurred to him that
the umbrella might be his salvation.
He carried the umbrella upstairs. Seating
himself on a chair in the corner of the bed
room, he raised the rain guard over his head
and then coughed loudly. His wife awoke
and saw in the dim gaslight her iege lord
sitting solemnly under the raised umbrella.

RELIEVED THE SENTINEL.
Washington Walked on Guard a
Valley Forge While a Starving
Soldier Breakfasted,

William Perrine gives graphic pic
ture of Washington's memorable win
ter of suffering at Valley Forge in the
Ladies' Home Journal. ''Sentinels pac-
ing in the snow on the outposts took
off their caps and stood in them to save
their feet from freezing" he writes.
Here and there could be found even
officers in sort of dressing gown made
of old wooden bed-covers. The stout
hearted women of New Jersey sent
their quilted clothes as Christmas pres
ents, with the patriotic jest that as
women were said sometimes to wear
the trousers, so now there would be an
excuse for men who might wear the
petticoat. Washington, who never en-
aggerated, said that few men had more
than one shirt, many only haIf one,
and some none at all. Nearly 5000 men
were barefooted, and occasionally
might be seen a soldier who was all
but naked! Sometimes there was moth
ing to eat in the camp but rotten sailed
behring's. Men were known to snatch
at the dough of half-baked cakes in the
kitchens of farmers wives. The con-
tractors and the commissary agents
and the continental congress had
brought 10000 men to the verge of
starvation, and the blood of Gen. Wayne
ran hot with rage as he looked on his
poor fellows weak with hunger. In
deed, there was but one horn tumbler
and also but one wooden dish for every
mess. Washington himself lined one
day on potatoes and hickory nuts. MY
good man. he said to the sentinel in
front of his headquarters, pacing up
and down in the bitterness OF a cold
morning, have you had anything to
eat?' No, SIR was the reply. Give
me your musket, then. and go inside
and get some Breakfast and the tall
commander gravely walked up and
down as guard over lis own house,

ooh, and who would protect me
while you're fishing, please?"
"You can come, too, if you won't
always call out: Mind you don't fall
in"
"Be good, Jack, and fetch me some
water from the well, and chop little
firewood."
The general had been listening and
chuckling. Always the sound of chill
dren's voices frightened his eyes. Now
be suddenly stepped up to the open
door of the little new house and bowed.
He was dressed very plainly for his
muddy walk, and his boots were spat-
tered, and he looked quite plain and
homely. He saw a neat little woman
of IL or 10 busy in her kitchen and a
pert, bright-eyed, snub-nosed young
rogue of seven sitting on the table.
II wish you good morning, ma'am,' -
said the general.
Good morning, SIR" said the maid
en-, with frightened courtesy.
"Halloa!" said Master Pert, Selling

from? Are you friend of King
George?'

"Oh, certainly" said the willing
housewife, and ran off. Up came Jack
and stood very erect in front of the
visitor.
