DEPARTED GLORY.

: How sad Itused to be In those old day.
away back there
Before i knew the world was full OF
hidden snares and care;
thought 1t was task to hold the skeir
as mother wound
The crimson yarn while here and there
a stubborn snarl was found;
thought my lot dismal one, as sit
ting there at night
I heard the humming spinning wheel and
watched the freight
Dance out across the floor and back as
fairy dancers might
All. how used to long to see the world
I'd read about,
To pack my little carpet-sack and boldly
sally out!
Reluctantly used to bow my head upon
the chair
When father found that it was time ia
say the evening prayer,
And thinking that my lot was hard-ah,
how absurd 1t seems
I went UP to my little bed beneath the
white-washed beams,
And, far away from worldly cares, had
proud, ambitious dreams.
Oh there Is much that I have learned
about the world since then,
And much I've seen that serves to wake
the wonderment Of men;
The world is far more splendid than !
dreamed that 1t could be
As lying meath the rough-hewn beams
fair visions came to me
But one great glory Of the world has
passed away fore'er,
meter again may hold the skein as
mother winds back there,
Or, when the fires low, kneel down while
father offers prayer.

quaint Marriage customs.

A certain marriage custom has, UNI

en-. into disuse. It was once incum-
bent on the bridegroom to place q
sum Of money in purse on the
wedding night and present it to the
bride. Afterward this was done the
following morning, and the gift was
called the Dow Purse. Another
phase Of the same thing existed in
Cumberland, where the bridegroom
provided himself with gold and
crown pieces. At the words, with
all my worldly goods I thee en-
dow" he gave the clergyman his
fee and poured the rest Of the
money into handkerchief which the
bride held out. In other places It
was the custom on the day follow

ask her husband for q gift of money

honor to grant her request. Scot

e0S4VAVAA
Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. G. q very reput-
able and widely.known physician, living on
C Street, was called to attend very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found a man about
forty years Of age, lying in Frustrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in q
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. It was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
Of three or four persons. The weight Of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the mem
beers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost Immediately the
grief, stricken ones were addressed BY an
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased. the patient very much; after
q few hours they. used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved the
patient, and in two days he was well and
out. When the doctor called few days
after, he was indeed surprised.

This was the result of the conference
yesterday Afternoon between the Manufac-

New Bedford Textile council. which has
made a demand for a 10 per cent advance
in wages.
The conference was entirely harmonious
and every mill in the city was repre-
Sented.
At the outset the manufacturers made
a statement saying the mills of this city,
and of the Northern states generally, are
paying on as high plane as az any
time during the last 20 years, and they
believe. az ever before.

wages.
The advance as above stated does not
affect the mills of the New England Cot

cotton mills OF the city. Another coff-
ference will be held today about the de-
mand for an advance in the yarn mills.
