Peter Patterson was ill—at least ho
thought so—and depiessed; he had a
headache and he hated the dusty streets
in which the summer heat burnt and
the summer sun shone before the green
leaves had drajied the liees, and potted
geraniums, which had com > to be s >
blessedly popular in New Yoik, lent
their summer freshness.
"What shall I do, doctor ?" he'aaid.
"You say nothing ails tne, but I can
tell what my ;feelings are better than
you can. I know I shall be down with
something soon. I rodo in a car with
a half dozen dirty children the other
day—to the small pox hospital, I
haven't a doubt—very red and nasty
looking, all of them ; and while I was
buying something in a store down
Broadway the other day a horrid old
woman begged of me because her hus
band was sick with typhoid fever. No
doubt I have caught both diseases, and
it's the complication that puzzles you.
Couldn't relish my coffee this morning;
left my milk toast untouched. Hateful
life, that of a bachelor at a hotel. Oh,
dear me !"
"Why don't you marry, then ?" said
the doctor.
"They need so much courting," said
Patterson. "You spend six months or
so, at least, dangling at a woman's a
pron strings. You must go to the
theatre and opera if she is gay, and to
church if she is pious. At fifty a man
likes his slippers and dre3singgown
and chair, of an evening. If it was
just stepping over to the clergyman's
and getting married, putting a ring on
her finger and saying or nodding yes
two or three times, why I wouldn't
mind it, you know."
"Ah, well, courting is the fun of it
all,in my opinion," said the old doctor,
"bat every one to his taste. And my
advice to you is to get out into tbe
c mntry."
"To another hotel and more mercen
ary waiters I" said Mr. Patterson.
"No," said the doctor; "go to a nice
private home. I know one—a mother
ly widow lady, who cooks a dinner fit
for a king. River before the house,
woods behind it, orchard to the left,
kitchen garden to the right ; no fever
and ague ;no mosquitoes. Heavenly !
I am going up there to-morrow, and
I'll see if she'll take you."
"Very well," said Mr. Patterson; "I
think I will try it."
"And you mast drink plenty of milk
and eat plenty of nice homemade
bread."
"Yes, I will," said Patterson, over
joyed at least at hearing something that
sounded like a prescription. "And
yon would advise milk ?"
"Quart of it every day," said the
doctor.
"I'll take a note of it," said Patter
son, "and if I should be very ill she'll
nurse me."
"Splendidly," said the doctor, and
went his way.
Mr. Patterson thought the matter o
yer and thought better of it every day,
fend when the little note informing him
Ahat the widow would be willing to
"take him in and do for him" reached
him, he had bis trunk and portman
teau already packed, and was ready to
start that afternoon. As for the wid
ow,the doctor had prepared her for her
boarder's peculiarities thus :
"Nice fellow; social; plenty of mon
ey; thinks himself 111, but isn't; ought
to be married; told him so,but he hates
the idea of courting ; marry off some
day, no doubt. 'Will you haye me ?'
4 Yes.' Call in a clergyman, but then
old bachelors are peculiar generally."
The widow was a smart woman. She
had married at sixteen, and had never
failed to have her washing over when
other people were hanging out theirs.
Her bread al ways rose, her cake was
always good and her batter always
sweet. At forty-five she had married
off all her daughters, was well-to-do,
buxom and happy.
Her son and his wife boarded with
her, and she added to her plentiful sav
ings by taking a Rummer boarder or
two, if they happened to offer.
"Fifty and a bachelor," said Mrs.
Muntle, looking in the glass. "Well,
it seems a pity ; but when elderly gen
tlemen marry it is to some hity-tity girl
that lead* them a terrible life, and like
ly it's for the best."
Then she looked in the glass again ;
for tho widow was but a woman, after
all
Mr. Patterson came to the widow's
and obeyed the doctors's prescription
carefully. He ate bread and milk,rob
bed the orchard like a school boy, and
riclined over the strawberry short-cake
after a fashion that would have made
his reputation at the bar. Then, too,
Mrs. Muntle did not smile at his aches
and pains and insut that he must be
perpetually well because he bad a fresh
complexion and dimples on hi 3 cheeks.
She had savory herb teas and po' ions
which she produced when he complain
ed of feeling miserable.
MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 7., 188 G.
For two mouths and more, Mr. Pat
terson boiuded with Mrs. Mantle, and
happier months ho never lived through.
Then he went back to the eity for a few
weeks, returning in urgent need of
more pellets from the medicine chest,
and staying until the last pink clays
anthemnn was blooming on its wither
ed branches. He had grown so fond of
his little room, with its white curtains
and fresh grass bleached linen, of the
country good things and of the buxom
Mrs. Muntie, that be could r.ot bear
the thought of parting with them alto
gether.
After all, why could he nob buy a
house and get Mis. Munlle to. keep it
for him ? Perhaps she would. He
would offer a high salary,and she could
have plenty of servants. Then,indeed,
he might have friends to dine with
him, and be as happy as possille. If
only he could approach his hostess,
showing her as he did so that he con
sidered her his equal and a lady— aud
all that she certainly was ; a clergy*
man's (laughter aud the widow of a
c mntry doctor.
After much consideratiou lie finally
mustered courage for the effort, and
walked iuto the front parlor and sent
the servant to ask Mis. Muntle to please
step there for a moment.
''Gracious !" thought Mrs. Muntle
to herself; "what can "he want ?"
Then she blushed brightly, settled
her necktie, took off her apron aDd
walked demurely in.
"Be seated, ma'am, 4 ' said Mr. Pat
terson. "Sit here please. Allow me
to sit near you, as I have something to
ask which may require some considera
tion."
"Oh, dear, it is cdming !" thought
Mrs. Muntle.
"I suppose you know I'm a man of
considerable means, ma'am," said the
old bachelor, "able to buy a nice house,
furnish it well aud live in it comfort
ably ?"
44 50 I've understood,Mr.Patterson,"
said tbe widow.
"And of course it is pleasanter to
live that way than at a hotel," said
Mr. Patterson.
4t l should judge it might be," said
Mrs. Muntle cautiously.
"You judge rightly," said Mr. Pat
terson; "but you know a bachelor must
be in the hands of servants if he keeps
a bouss. A gentleman dosn't want
that; he wants a lady to superintend
things for him -some one of taste and
refinement aud all that. Common peo
idf don't understand his feeling*, and
mercenary servants are a poor depend
ence."
"I know that," said Mrs. Muntle.
"You are almost as much alone as I,
aren't you, Mrs. Muntle?" said Mr.
Patterson, coaxingly.
"The doctor knew him. He's going
to do it just as he said he would if he
ever did," said the lady to herself. A
loud she answered : "Well, sir, lam
pretty free, it js true. All my children
are married well."
"I know money would be no object
to you,", said Mr. Patterson. "You
have enough. But if I was to tell you
that I hated boarding-houses and want
ed a home, I think you would have
pity on me., I'll buy a beautiful house,
and you shall have complete control of
everythiog;inly to make ray strawber
ry short-cake for me all my life."
He paused and looked at the lady. •
"That is decidedly put," he thought.
"Now, will you hire out for a house
keeper, I wonder."
"I ain't romantic though," said Mrs.
Muntle ; "but still we ain't young,
neither of us,and it gets to be just that
with the most sentimental after a
while."
"Don't refuse me," pleaded Mr. Pat
terson.
"Well, Mr. Patterson, I won't,"said
Mrs. Muntle. "I'm my own mistress;
and though I never thought of a second
marriage, why I think I'm warranted
in making one. And no doubt I shall
never repent, for I think you've a fine
disposition, and I understand your
ways and tastes."
Mr. Patterson listened. lie saw
what he had done—proposed and
been accepted without having any idea
of what he was about. He looked at
Mrs. Muntle. She was very nice and
comely and ten years his junior, at
least, if she was forty. He could not
have done a better thing, and would be
married without any troublesome
courting. So he at once put his arm a
round Mis. Mantle's waist and said :
"Thank you, my dear. I consider
myself very fortunate."
He wrote to his good doctor in about
a fortnight's time, to tell him that he
had taken both his perscriptions ; was
a married man and intended to b'ing
his bride home about the first of the
new year.

'A
Dynamite in Chicago
An Attompt to Destroy tho Houso
of Judge Tree, tho Belgian
Minis tor.
CHICAGO, Djcmbof 25.- A little af
ter nine o'clock this morning a quart
can of peculiar construction was found
under the front porch of Judge Lam
bert Tree's palatini residence, No, 1)4
Cassßtrect, by his coachman. A fuse
attached to it was charred at the end,
showing that it had been lighted and
gone out. The deadly contrivance
looked like a common lamp, and think
ing it was put there by some practical
joker the coadfcmflii removed it to the
yard. In laying it down he was horii
tied to notice that a fuse was attached
to the machine. A hurried inspection
9howed that it was not the innocent
thiug it was deemed to bo. He hurried
to the Chicago avenue police station
and Officer Gallagher returned with
him. The ofilcer carried the machine
to tbe Central Station. His appearance
created the wildest excitement and the
officers lost no time in getting to the
outside. Many of them, mindful of
Otto Funk's experiment with infernal
machines, ran pell-mell out of the sta
tion and Gallagher was forced to dis
pose of the machine himself. He car
ried it to a powder dealer on Lake
street, but this man refused to touch
it. A cleric in the store, however, ex
amined it and at first sight pronounced
it a finely-constructed dynamite bomb.
Gallagher and the clerk hastened
with the machine to the lake front,
where preparations were made to ex
plode it. A fuse five feet long was at
tached to the machine and fired. Both
men ran with all speed to a safe dis
tance none too soon, for they had not
gone over two hundred feet when the
machine exploded with a tremendous
noise. The report was heaid as far
west as Fifth avenue, aud an Idea of
the force of the explosion may be had
by the way the ground was torn up.
For a depth of six feet the hard frozen
ground was scooped as if it were so
much water. Oflicer Gallagher's com
panion, an xpert, wa9 ot the opinion
that the explosive was nitro-glycerine,
and declared that enough of it was in
the machine to blow up the City nail.
Thus far the police have no idea of
the parties who are responsible for the
contemplated outrage. It is not known
that any motlvo existed for the com
mission of such a barbarous act. There
have been no arrests made. The Tree
residence is one of the most elaborate
and costly in the city, occupying one
quarter of an entire Hock i n fashion
able residence district in the north di
vision of the city. The building prob
ably represents S2OO,OCX), with its valu
able contents. It is a three story struc
ture of brown-stone, rock faced and
covering a wide area. It has been oc
cupied for some time by Gen. A. C,
McClurg, of the publishing house of
Jansen, McClurg & Co.
Farm Hlnta for January.
Of course, before you take your vaca
tion, the farm harness will be oiled and
repaired, the wagons, and sleighs, and
buggies and carriages,carefully examin
ed, and tlie nuts tightened. There will
be a place for everything, and every
thing will be in its place—forks, rakes,
hoes, shovels, spades, chains, clevises,
whiffle-trees, plows, cultivators, horse
rake, mower, binder, roller, harrows,
farm drill, garden drill, garden line,
corn marker—l am afraid my corn
marker is sticking on the feme, hut I
have no expectation of taking a vaca
tion, unless we may conclude that that
is the proper place for it.
Of course you will get the harrow
teeth sharpened, and the wood-work
saturated with crude petroleum. The
manure will be all drawn out and piled
iu the field. You will get everything
ready for the lambs, and the pens will
be made comfortable for early spring
pigs. You will have a plenty of
troughs and racks. lloop3 will be
tightened on barrels. New leathers will
be put on pumps. Pruning will be
done Dead trees will be cut down
and woiked up. Dead- branches of
shade trees will lie removed, and wher
ever shade trees, or trees on the lawn
are too thick, they w ill be thinned out.
Fences, gates, and bars, will be in per
fect order. All pig pens, cow stables,
hen house, cellars and sheep sheds, will
have two coats of white wash, and
some of them throe. The potatoes iu
the cel'ar will be soiled over, thedecay"
ed ones removed, and thoso intended
foi seed, for market, or for home use,
put by themselves. There will bo no
broken panes of glass ; no windows
loose In the frames; thehloors, the
locks and the bolts, will all work
smoothly. The garret will be overhaul
ed. Perhaps you will say this is wom
an's work. At any rate, you will see
that they have a good bench for the
wash tubs.— JOSEPH HARRIS in Ameri
can Agriculturist for January.

Pulled off His Leg
Speaking of wooden legs, there is an
old soldier employed in the government
service in this city who has had some
experience with an artificial limb, his
meat one haying linen taken off at the
knee. Among the most amusing was
one with a sleeping car porter. This
pampered railroad tyrant rarely earns
his quarter all 'round by his pretense of
blacking shoes and Hipping dust from
his victim's back, but it is the habit of
this wooden-legged man to utilize the
darky in taking off that leg and making
him earn his hire. On one train he
struck an uppish sort of a porter—a
brother to the insufferable swell who
sings out, "Last call for dinnah in the
dining cah !" That darky stood around
with a languid dignity that "would make
a street corner dude sick at heart.
The man with the wooden leg made
up his mind he would "wake that nig
ger up" beforo he chipped in his quar
ter.
He told a couple of men in the car
his purpose, and they joined in with
him. He wears his shoes firmly fasten
ed to the wooden leg, having no need to
remove it, and having fallen once from
a loose shoe. After his berth had been
made up he went to tbe dressing room
and unstrapped his leg, keeping hold of
the strap, and then got to his berth.
Then he called the
rheumatism and can't bT oyer," he
said, "and I wish you'd pull off that
shoe. The porter untied the shoo and
tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't come.
"Pull hard," said the passenger. The
darky gaye it another pull. "Oh, brace
against the berth and pull," said the
passenger. The porter had blood in his
eye. He put his foot against the berth
and pulled like a dentist. The passen
ger let go the strap, and the darky fell
back with the shoe aud the leg. "My
heavens! you have pulled off my leg,"
shrieked the passenger. The porter
dropped it, and, with his eyes bulging
and his teeth chattering, he broke]);from
the car. He concealed himself in a cor
ner of the baggage car, and pretty soon
the two other conspirators came in, pre
tended they didn't know where he was,
sat down on a trunk and talked over
the awful condition of'the man whosg
leg had been pulled off, and about the
penalty the darky would have to suffer
if he should be caught. That porter
was of no service to anybody that
night, even after they explained the
joke to him. — Milwatike Sentinel.
Cupid and Soap.
There is a certain self-9tyled man of
letters in London who is more remark
able for his lofty indifference to soap
and water than for any additions which
he made to literature. In spite, how
ever,of his somewhat uncomely appear
ance, he fancies himself to be a great
conqueror of the heart of woman ; and
he is always delighted to set abroad lit •
tie rumors about fair beings whom his
fascinations have charmed—rumors
which are by no means agreeable to the
fair beings whose names are mention
ed. One young lady was very much
disgusted the other eveuing on being
asked at a dinner-table by JMi friend
who had taken her down, iithere was
any truth iu the rumor that she was
engaged to be m trried to the somewhat
unsavory man of letters in question.
The young lady denied the suggestion,
indignantly. "Then you have not ac
cepted his hand ?" hor inteilocutor in
quired. "Accept his liaud 1" said the
lady decisively and epigrammatically—
"accept his hand I Why, I would not
even shake his hand without a previous
course of Turkish baths on his part
and a subsequent course on mine."
Glass Nearly 4,000 Years Old.
The oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing anything like a date is a little
molded lion's head, bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh dy
nasty, in the Slade collection at the
British Museum. This is to say, at
the period which may be moderately
placed at more than 2,000 years B. C.,
glass not only made, but made
with a 'skill which shows that the art
was nothing new eyen at that time.
TIIE Evangelical Alliance has rejoic
ed the hearts of temperance people, by
this year placing on the list of topics
for Friday, Jan. Bth, "Prayer for the

local Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions to carry out, as far as possible,
the admiiable programme given by our
National President in "Union Signal"
of Dec. 17th. Let us ask the co-opera

While the band was playing in tbe

The Soldier's Excuses.
While on the peninsula, during the
war. an officer one day camo across a
private soldier belonging to one of the
most predatory companies of the Irish
Brigade. The fellow had the lifeless
bodies of a goose and hen tied together
by the heels, dangling from his musket.
'Where did you steal those, you ras
cal V' the officer demanded.
'Steal, is it ? Faith, I was marching
along with Color Sergeant Maqnire, and
the goose—bad cess to it—came out and
hissed at the American flag, and bedad!
I shot him on the spot!'
'But the hen, sir, how about the
hen ?'
'lt's the bin, is it ? Bad luck to the

She H*d All The Pride.
TIo was a now cop vert to the ranks
of the Salvation Arm* "end Wasono of
tho loudest shouters fn the meetings
which were, and stHi are, being held,
lie was teliing what religion had
done for him, and after enumerating
various sins of which he had been
purged, he came to the matter of
pride.
'Before I joined tbo army,' said he,
'I was ns proud as any of you sinners
in the back part of the hall. But now
my pride is all gone; there hain't a
more bumble man. than me here to
night.'
'Perhaps you don't take any stock
in what I say,' continued the bumble
convert, 'but it's true, every word of
it. To show yon that my pride is all
gone I'll go right down from this plat
form and kiss that old nigger woman
in the front seat.'
True to his word the convert start
ed for the front seat, and when he
reached the floor both he and the aud
ience had . become motionless. Old
aunty had slowly arisen. Her eye 3
glowed with indignation at the blaL
ant insult which he heaped upon her.
The convert who wonld have ventuuu
ed to have kissed her in that mood
might not have pride, but it would
have required a large amount of
nerve. *
In a shrill voice she exclaimed :
'Keep away from dis yere; if ye hab
got no pride, why t'ank the Lor, I
hab, an' yon won't do none o' your
kissing ronn ' here V
As the humble recruit sank back on
the stage he said.* 'Yon ought to be
'shauied ob ynsself, yon ole hypocrite,*

Lost His Taste.
I waa sleeping in a second story
bed room of a planter's bouse in Mis
sissippi, and it was not yet daylight,
when something roused me up. I
was listening to hear the noise repeat
ed, when there camo snch a yell as
fairly shook me out of bed. I ran to
the window, bat it was too dark out
side to soe anything. As I stood
there listening I heard the clank of a
chain, followed by groans, and then
all was still. I went back to lieu
with the idea that some crazy negro
was prowling around, and slept till
sunrise. Then I looked out, and solv
edthe mystery. A few rods away
was the smoke house. A big bear
trap had been set at the door, and it
had caught a prize. With one leg
held as in a vise, and with his hands
grasping a young tree to hold him up,
a burly, big negro looked up at me
and called out :
•Say, boss, bat I want to get loose
of dis I'
1 When I went down and told the
colonel he expressed no surprise, and
took no action until after breakfast.
Then we walked out to the smoke
house, and, after looking the prisoner
over, he said .*
'Does it hurt f' •
'Nebber was hurt so in mj life,
sah.'
'Can't yon get out ?'
'No, sah. I'ze been trying eber
since midnight, but I can't do It.'*
'I have hams and shoulders in
there.'
'Yes, sah ; I reckon you has.'
'Are you fond of smoked meat ?
'No, sah. I used ter be, but I ain't
any mo'. I shall nebber tech smoked
meat agin 1' •
'Like to walk out nights ?
'No, sah. I'ze gwine ter bed ebery
night at sundown arter dis.'
We got a rail and opened the trap,
and let him out. He went off drag
ging Jgfc leg behind him, and as he
reaped the gate he lifted bis hat and
coolly said:
/ 'Werry much obleeged, kulnel. If
my appetite fur hams an' shoulders
eber returns, I'll keep cl'ar o' dis plan
tashun, an' doJk'Jorget it!'
