Frerr.t St., Baltimore During the war I was in jured in the stomach by a piece of shell, and have suftered from it ever since. About four years ago it brought on paraly sis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said I could not live. I suffered fearfully from indigestion, and for over two years could not eat solid food and for a larpe portion of the time was unable to retain even liquid nourishment. I tried I'.rown's Iron Hitters and now after taking two bottles I am able to get up and go around and am rapidly improving. G. DiX'KEX.

Oh, I always admit it when I've done wrong. There's nothing meaner than to pretend that you haven't done wrong when everybody knows that vou have. 1 didn't mean anything by it. though, and Sue ought to have stixid by 1 me, when I did it all on her account, and just becnusp I pitied her. If she was my own : sister, and it was more her fault, I really I think, than it was mine. Mr. Withers is Su's new young man, as T have told you already. He comes to see her every Mond ay, Wednesday and Friday even ings, and Mr. T ravers comes all the other evf-nings. and Mr. Martin is liable to come any time, and generally does that is, if he doesn't have the rheumatism. Though he hasn't but nnn real leg he has twice as mufti rheumatism as father, with all his legs, and thre is something very queer about it ; and if I was !if I'd g"r a leg of something better than cork, and perhaps he'd have less pain in it. It all happened lasl Tuesday nigtir. Just ns it was ratting dark, and Sue was expect ing Mr. Travers every minutf, who should come in but Mr. Martin ! Now Mr. Martin is such an old acquaintance, and father thinks so much of him, that Sue had to ask hint in, though she didn't want him to meet Mr. Trav-f-rs. So when she heard somebody open the front gate, she said, "Oh, Mr. Mar tin, I'm so thirsty and the servant has gone out, and as you know just where the milk is for yon went down cellar to get some the last time you were here, do you think you would nvnd getting some for me?" Mr. I Martin had often gone down cellar to help j himself to milk, and I don't see what makes him so fond of it, so he sij.i, "Certainly with 1 with great pleasure," anil started down the cellar stairs. It wasn't Mr. Travers but Mr. Withers, who had come on the wrong night. He had not much more than got into the parlor when Sue come out, to me, for I was swing ing in the hummock on the front piazza, and said, "My goodness gracious. Jimmy, what shall 1 do? Here's Mr. Withers and Mr. Travers will be here in a few minutes, and there's Mr. Martin down cellar, and I feel I as If T chrintft flo Wlmt shull T An " I was real sorry for her, and thought I'd i help her, for girls are not like us. They j never Know what to do when they are in a i scrape, and they are full of absence of mind when they ought to have presence of mlnd J So I said : I II fix It for yon. Sue. Just leave it all to me. You stay here and meet Mr. Travers, who is just coming round the corner, and I'll manage Mr. Withers." You darling little fellow, there don't, muss my hair :" and I went in and said to Mr. With ers in an awfully mysterious way, "Mr. Withers, I hear a noise in the cellar. Don't fell Sue, for she's dreadfully nervous. Won't yon go down and spo what it Is?" Of course I knew it was Mr. Martin who ws making the noise, though I didn't say so. "Oh. it's nothing but rats, Jimmy," said he, "or else the cat, or maybe it's he cook." "No, it isn't," said I. "If I was you, I'd g and see into It. Sue thinks you are aw fully brave." Well, after a little more talk, Mr. Withers said he'd go, and I showed him the cellar door, and got him started down stairs, and then I locked the door, and went back to the hammock, and Sua and Mr. Travers they sat in the front parlor. Prettv soon ' heard a heavy crash down ce llar, as if something heavy had dropped, and then there was such a yelling and howl ing, j 'ist as if the cellar was full of murder ers. Mr. Travers jumped up, and was starting for the cellar, when Sue fainted away and hung tight to him, and wouldn't j let him go. I staid in the hammock, and wouldn't have left it if father hadn't come down stairs, hut when I saw him goinii down cel lar, I went after him to see what could pos sibly be the matter. Father had a candle In one ham. and a hig club in the other. You ought to have been there to se Mr. Martin and Ir. Withers. One of them had run against the other In the dark, and they thought thev were both burg lars. So they got hold of each other, and I fell over milk cans and upset the soap bar- ! rel, and then rolled round the cellar floor, I holding m to each other, and yelling help, j murder, thieves, and when we found them I they were both in the ash bin, and the ashes were choking them. Father wonld have pounded them with tho elnb if I hadn't told him who they were. He was awfully astonished, and though ho wouldn't say anything to hurt Mr. Martin's fet-lings, he dian't seem to. care much for mine or Mr. Withers's, and when Mr. Tra vers finally came down, father told him that he was a nice younf? man, and that the whole house might have been murdered by burglars while he waa enjoying himself in the front parlor. Mr. Martin went home after he got a little of the milk and soap and ashes and things off of him, but lie was too angry to speak. Mr. Withers said he would never enter the house again, and Mr. Travers didn't even wait to speak to Sr.e, he was in such a rage with Mr. Withers. After they were all gone, Sue told father that it was all my fault, and father said he would attend to my case in the morning ; only when tho morning came, he told me not to do it again, and that was all. 1 admit that I did do wrong, but I didn't mean it, and my only desire was to help my dear sister. You won't catch me helping her again very soon. Harper's Young People. All at Sea A Itrfer but Awful Voyage. George W. Feck says : "No person with a heart can read the story of the two Michigan fjrls and keep the tears back. Of course some people cry easier than others, and what would cause one person to weep copiously would only cause another to look solemn and pitiful, hut a recital of the sufferings of these two girls cannot fail to bring tears to the eyes of even those unaccustomed to weeping. It seems that the girls went to a retired ?pot and divested themselves of their clothing to an alarming extent, and went bathing in the waters of Iake Michigan. For a time they turned flip-flaps in the water, and scared the fish ashore, when an impulse seized them and each got on a saw log that happened to be near by, and they paddled themselves around j with feet and hands. It was one continued I j round of pleasure, barring the bwrij on the I j log, until the logs began to float out intothe j j lake. The logs had got out some distance j i before the girls noticed what was going on, ! 1 and when they looked toward the shore and J j saw their clothes in little piles on the hank, looking no bigger than a towel, their heatts i i sank within them. The wind was blowing j ! quite fresh from the shore and quitecoid, and 1 they would have suffered severely, only their j j hair was auburn which overcome to a great I i extent the rigors of the climate. Picture to ; yourself thesp poor, misguided girls, on the j saw logs, the shore of their native land rap- I idly fading in the distance, and the cruel ' ; wind blowing them toward Milwaukee at the : I rate of six miles an hour. aw'iogs are pood . property, but each of the girls would have ; given every saw log on earth for one suit of . Slimmer clothes. They tried hard to paddle ' back toward the shore, but what power had ; the little Michigan feet against the gale that ! j was blowing them towards the hospitable slinres of Wisconsin. The girls would not 1 have objected to a trip to the liadger State. ' ordinari'y, and they had often hoped to; j i crossing the lake on a propellor, clothed in the right mind, and not crossing on a saw log, ; j w ithout any side saddle, and non-attired even ! i in their minds. One of the girls was inclined ; j to weep, hut the braver one kept up the spj. ' : rits of her companion by telling her it would 1 soon be over, and they would be floating up ! Milwaukee river, making a sensition that i would raise the neighbors. As they got out ! i about a mile one of the girls felt something ! nibble at her foo1 t, when a new danger threat- ened them, and with a cry of -sharks' they both put up their feet on the loo-s mid uni there dreamily, wondering what new danger would menace them. A log is a most un comfortable subject to dwell upon, the way they make them now, and it is no wonder thoso poor girls felt that it was no Pullman car they had taken passage on. They thought of home, friends, kindred, polonaise, and straw hats, and so forth, and were wonder ing what the Wisconsin people would take them for, when they decided to take one more fond look at Michigan. When they looked around, to their joy and mortification they saw some men in boats coming to their rescue. They were pleased at the thought of being rescued, hut sad at not being dressed for company, and one was going to jump overboard and drown herself, when the other thought of the plan of getting off the logs and holding on to the bark while the men towed them nshorn Tl.;a n o.. ., 1 j ... . ., ..... ' "' 1,, nniiiui uie .memgan rescuers. mat tney never looked back, but when the boats landed at the beach near where their clothes were, the hold rescuers immediately took to the woods nnd never looked back, not even giving the cirls a chan tn ih.nl tho.. It is npP(lleS3 to sny U)at te themselves into their A ., .. UMJ .iwT, irai I'lv, and that they took a solemn oath never to start to Wisconsin again without a steamboat. It is said they cannot look at a saw log now without a pang of sorrow. We are glad they did not come to Milwaukee." Clocks. Clocks were a timely and strik ing invention, commonly used to prevent the ! sun from getting ahead of its record, and to provide people with an opportunity to won der how far wrong they are. The facial expression (.like some men) in variably betrays the interna! construction, and any disturbance depicts itelf very plain', ly. A clock never travels on the square ; it always goes round, and, singular though it may seem, clocks are generally trusted, and yet they continually go on "tick." They are also an exception to the rule of I busyhandsbeingoutof mischief, for although j no one will dispute that the clock's hands are busy, yet they can raise morn trouble be- tween a railroad train and a man than any. I thing else yet invented. Railroad clocks are j always kept wrong, as this prevents the sta ; Hon master from explaining the difference j between the trains and the time, i Clocks are very selfish. If they don't have a good time anvwhere thev tTt fll.H f hair rr pverywh-re, they will cause everybody near j them to have a poor time, too. Clocks are well enough in their places, but just let them j get loose once ! When a clock begins to run I down, and you nre afraid of losing time, just j turn the key on it to prevent its escape. I This treatment usually winds up the move- ments of the clock for the time, and that I most effectually. Some clocks are connected with a noise j which is to all appearances entirely innocent i of any connection with the time of the clock, i At least the attempt to regulate it by ttie j time has been practically abandoned as hope less. A Tirlel Performance. Many wonder how Parker's Ginger Tonie can perform such varied cures, thinking it essence of ginger, when in fact it is made from many valuable medicines which act beneficially on every disease organ. ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO WOMEN. At the last meeting of the Army of the Po tomac at Detroit, a grand banquet was given to the veterans. At the table's head sat Grant and Sickles, Sheridan and a host of il lustrious soldiers. The toast of "The Wo men of America" was responded to by Col. John Atkinson, of Detroit, an able and ac complished Irish-American gentleman who. though still a young roan, ranks among the few leaders of the bar in Michigan. Colonel Atkinson's address (a full report of which, says the Boston Pt?ot, we find in the official report of the Army of the Potomac just pub lished) was the most eloquent and exquisite response to that worn-out toast that ever we have listened to. Coming eveu at the end of a long dinner, it thrilled the listeners into enthusiasm. We give a tew extracts : Women are always loyal loyal to God, loyal to their country, loyal to men. They are always patriotic. They mingle the love of country with their cradle songs, and pour into the ears of child hood the story of their country's glory and their country's wrongs. If you look over the map of the world to night, you will find the women of every op pressed nation doing faithful work for liber ty. They are teaching their children the traditions of their race, and inspiring them with a hatred of thir tyrants. They are preparing the way for the overthrow of the Turk in Bulgaria, of the Russian in Poland, anil of that more cruel despotism in Ireland which has turned her into a garrison and filled her prisons with her most illustrious citizens. Men may be oppressed into obe dience or bribed into allgiance. but the heart of woman is only won by justice. She never despairs in a cause which has her approval. During our wars, no matter how dark things looked at times to the soldiers them selves, their mothers and sisters and wives were always hopeful. I cannot recall a sin gle instance during the War of the Rebellion where a loyal woman expressed a doubt as to the final result. (Applause.) Man's part in war ends largely with the ret urn of peace. Not so with women. They are left to weep for husbands and sons who wi'.l come no more ; for comrades who take no part in our reunions, who fell on distant fields and slerp in unknown graves. They are left to nurse and take care of the wounded and sick who return from the struggle. Often amid the general rejoicing over vic tories they gather their orphan children to their hearts, and think only of the fearful price at which they have tieen won. Ours the glory ! Tlu-ii s the sacrifice ! (Applause.) There is only a remnant left of the grand armies which marched up Pennsylvania ave nue in istij. A large majority have since passed in review before their God, and in their last moments have been cheered and comforted by the presence and tenderness of woman. In the heart of woman they have found the soldier s home. A few that remains of us are growing old. A night upon the frozen ground with a blan ket f..r a covering would send the most of us IO ine liospmw. lllir (ill! jimihh ;mvp m-r-ii stiffening and our blood growing cold, the women of the country have been training the grand aimies of the future, in whose hands our starry banner will be carried to heights too dizzy for us to stand on, and to vietones greater than any yet achieved. They have been teaching the men tender ness without taking frmn their courage, and making them pure while adding, to their pleasu res. Hut great as woman's service is in war, gn-ater still is lu-r influence in peace. That which we call on: country is only dear to ns as an aggregation of homes. Homes are only dear to vis for the shelter tliey afford us from the world, and the love that dwells within their walls. They are dear to u as family republics, working under eonstitu'ions direct from God; where neither tteason nor tyranny is possible; where man is the chief executive, ruling through woman as head of the cabi net ; where all the subjects are regarded with tenderness and solicitude, and where ,1... nr.!,. fr.vi.- irnnn,.,l n r-,k noiil in . T. f t i 1 rt .a Pst.eni. ( A nnhinse. 1 America is peculiarly tbe land of homes in ' their best sense. The individual owiieiship gives every man an Interest in tne soil, which in Europe is only felt by few. The home in Eutope, is like a structure bui!t on pots for the purpose of trade, which never becomes permanently attached to the soil. The home in America reaches down ward to the centre of the earth and upward to the sky, and becomes an essential part of the land itself. There is no middle man between the own er and the God above him. He owes no al legiance except to laws which he helps to make, and which bears upon him only as thev bear upon his fellow-citizens. These distinctions come fromuood govern ment and equal laws. But fie chief blessing of home is the wo man who presides over it. It is as the centre of the home circle that 1 love to contemplate her. We love our mothers, and can see lines of grace and beauty in every wrinkle on the dear old faces. No doubt we all loved our sweethearts when we had them long ago. But there is something holier and tenderer still in the regard in which men hold those who are their wives and the mothers of their children. In that relation they never grow old. The roses give way to wrinkles, but man looks through them to the soul, where all is grace and beauty and truth. If the country would have brave men, let it teach its sons true Knighthood. L.et it fill the hearts of its youth with respect and love for womin as God's best gift to man. Let it remember that while man furnishes to his country the bone and muscle, it must look to women for the heart and soul. I am speaking to men no longer young. Our best years are behind us. Looking back, can any one recall a great achievement or a good deed in doing which he has not had woman's encouragement, or an evil one in which he has not felt her earnest opposi tion ? We are moving onward to the river which lies on the confines of life. Our comrades are mostly over, and we, the rear guard, must soon cross. May the years that remain to ns be so spent that we will merit woman's smile while here, and meet her when life is over in the gardens of God ! (Great applause.) Give Notice. Nowadays anything "well advertised" has only one tik, and that is of selling at a better price. This applies to real estate as well a to personal property in city, town and country.

INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION. BY MISS AMELIA THROPP. There is a little incident connected with the history of the Revolution which occurred in the year 1778, at Valley Forc, to which j there has not been as much publicity given as it justly merits. We are all familiar with the terrible suffering endured by'our army at Valley Forge during that severe winter, one of the oldest experienced for many years. It was through the most intense suf fering this winter was passed by that band of patriots who risked all that we might be free. Brave heroes of liberty I The recol lection of their deeds will echo through every hill and valley over our land until time shall end in eternity. Their sufferings were great and endured with patience. Yet there was no prospect of things growing better, but constantly worse. There was no h.ipe for to-morrow, and each to-morrow was ushered in with greater distress. The hope3 of the bravest began to falter, the feet of the strong est, to grow weaker. Overcome with sick ness and fatigue, the bravest saw that their only refuge was in death, and many in des pair cried out. "Save us. Lord, or we perish." Over rock and hillside, down through hill, valley and ravine the feeble sound was ech oed. On a day when the sun shone brightly and the clear blue background more beauti ful than usual, there appeared upon the hori zon a bright speck like a cloud, which ap peared to have come to dim the beauty of that clear winter sky. The sick dragged themselves to watch ; while the keener ob servers noticed that the cloud moved, not away from that suffering band, but nearer, and shaped itself into a small caravan as on ward it enme on f on ! and over the snowy frosty road. Presently they heard the creak ing sounds of wheels, when, lo ! to their ea ger gaze appeared ten wagons filled with food and clothing, each drawn by two oxen, and driven by women. On they came, slow ly over the frosty road, patiently plodding to save their loved ones, the soldiers of Valley Forge. The women of Philadelphia had, out of their own incomes, filled these wagons with supplies, among which were bundles of j their own handiwork. These consisted of : two thousand shirts, cut out and made by j their own delicate fingers. Other things ! were in proportion, all done by these noble, I patient women to save their liberators. The j poor soldiers had nearly lost nil hope ; death appeared inevitable, when, lo ! could it be possible, relief was coming to them so far away upon those bleak hills. Yes, those ten wagons were driven by noble, self-sacrificing j women, who came to save them from starva- tion. The sick dragged themselves to the doors of their miseiaole huts to look out through J the cold frosty air at their deliverers. Tears rolled down their cheeks, and the sick and j suffering all joined in a loud shout of joy, ex- ; claiming, "God bless our deliverers, the wo- ; men of Philadelphia !' Over hills and down ! through the valleys the sound went ringing. : On through time, on until eternity will the i sound of praises echo in memory of that no- , ble band who saved the aimy at Valley ! Forge. Those women who asked no reward j nor solicited any praise. It was on an er-j rand of mercy, for their hearts were tender j and their love was strong. We still have j reason to cry out, "God bless the women of J Philadelphia !" and ail over the land, for i their good works, the noble enterprises in ' which they are constantly engaged. There ' are many noble workers who are willing to- .' day to make personal sacrifices for the good I of humanity. The same blood courses thro' j their veins, actuated by the same spirit that ! inspired that noble band who saved from ; starvation the heroes of the noble Revoln- tion, the army of Valley Forge. Time will j record their good act It will be written ' upon the pages of eternity. Long after the traces of those bleak hills of Valley Forge shall be blotted out, and not a trace of the j foundation9 of fort or tent !eft wiI1 it be fresh nd Rreen in the halls of memory. That generation which has passed away has left its record sacred in the hearts of all. Their bodies have long since moldered to dust, but their sririts have ascended, and they have been crowned in glory by Hira who has recorded their good deeds and pro nounced thtir work tceZi done. A Scandal that Drew The venerable clergyman arose slowly in the pulpit, and glancing around on the thinly scattered con gregation, said in an emphatic tone, in which there was more of sorrow than of anger : "My beloved brethren, I am in hopes there will be more present next Sabbath, as I will then have occasion to reveal a scandal which has long oppressed my heart. It concerns the members of this church very deeply, and no one who has regard for eternal happiness should be absent." When benediction was pronounced tho handful of people slowly dispersed, but behold how much good seed a handful can scatter. The next Sabbath the sacred edifice was packed. There was, in deed, hardly breathing room when the white haired sage once more lifted his head above the pulpit cushions, and a silence of death fell upon the expectant throng. De stood a moment looking upon the unwonted scene, and then his voice in silvery cadences broke the hush of anticipation. "Dear friends," he said, "the scandal I would reveal is this you will gather in this place in ciowds to hear mischievous gossip, but will not listen to explanations of the inspired word. Now, my children, I offer my resignation. I am going to Europe for six months and shall pay my own expenses." But no one of the vast multitude took the lesson to himself; he applied it to his neighbor. Making Money. Why some men are so eager to earn money is a problem ; they cer tainly do not spend it freely. They care nothing ior the good things of life. Thev seem to value money for its own sake. Most men start in l ife with a bright object before them, the means for attaining which is mon ey, and so they resolve to make money. Rut the means push the end out of sight. A : . , i,:h h3ui,p new fascination snr ncs up, wlucn Danisnes - the young dream. The real pushes the ideal fiom its seat. Money acquires, or appears to acquire, a value of its own ; it becomes both means and end, and making It grows into a habit seldom lost. The proverb says, "Use is second nature," and it is fully proved when the natural desire of men for happiness Is so obliterated by the habit of making money.

"THE BABY." HOW IT REUNITED A FAMILY. Once upon a time, and not very long ago at that, a young man in AtlantA fell In love with an Atlanta girl. This happens every day, and, as also happens, the girl fell in love with the young man. Somehow or other the parents of the girl frowned upon the union of these two hearts that beat as one, and they j continued to frown until the young people, thrown upon their own resources, eloped, as young people will do, and the parental frown alluded to, instead of becoming a smile and j a benediction in the face of the Inevitable, i widened and deepened Into bitter disappro- i bation. The father and mother set great ; store by their daughter, and they were over- ; whelmed with grief when they discovered that for the first time in her life she had dis obeyed them. They did not seek ber out for the purpose of Destowing their forgiveness. In the course of time a little baby was born to the young couple a marvelously beauti ful child, we are told and;it grew to be as cunning as it was beautiful. One day re cently a lady acquainted with the facts and intimate with the families called upon the young mother, but found nobody at borne but baby and nurse. An idea struck herand she lost no time in carrying It out. She seized the baby and bore it off in triumph to its grandmother. When she rang the door bell at grandmother's bouse the lady was in a tremor, but the baby was as cool and unconcerned as a cucumber. Perhaps we ought not to say unconcerned, for when the grandmother opened the door the baby laughed and crowed in her face, and was as peit and as saucy as you please. And wouldn't the lady come In and rest herself. Well, the lady didn't know ; she was just passing, and she thought she wou'.d ring and see how all were getting along, but in she went, and presently grandmother was admir ing baby as it sat perched, bright and buoy ant, upon the lap of the lady. At this junc ture the baby displayed the most exquisite diplomacy. It boldly held out its dimpled ' little arms to Its grandmother, and was soon ! nestling against her motherly bosom. It ' laughed and crowed and cuddled, aDd when somebody made a pretense of taking it, it j cuddled the closer. What wonderful bright i eyes it had, to be sure I What a cunning little curl, half hidden behind its little pink ! ear ! What tempting little toes ! What ! 1 dainty little hands ! Oh, a wonderful little baby altogether, the grandmother thought and said. At this critical moment the grandfather j made his appearance, and the remarkable I baby seemed to understand its business thor oughly. It cooed at its grandfather, and as he found a place for it in his strong arms, hid its little face in his coat-collar. The grand- ; father was captivated. He tossed and dandled the baby and fondled it in a way al- ( together unusual. j Then the lady was asked whose baby it ' was. Her position was embarrassing. She had no idea of the result, but she made bold '. to tell the two old people that it was thsir i daughter's child. With this grandmother ' fell to weeping, and clasped this wonderful baby to her breast, and the grandfather . walked nervously around, wiping his eyes ! and wondering why he was so foolishly hap- : py- ! Nothing would do these old people but j their (laughter must be sent for, and such ' another reunion and revival as was held over j tiiat baby has never before been seen in At lanta. That we'll say and stick to. A carriage passed in front of the Constitu tion office recently, and in it were seated all the members of the reunited family. The ; baby had a front seat, and it was laughing and crowing and looking as pretty as a pink, and as cute well, as cute as it could look ; and if any reader of the Constitution is in clined to discredit this true story all he has to do is to ask the grandmother about It. Atlanta Comtitution. A BABY AND A BEAR. Henry Flynn, who resides up In the hills near Inskip, Cal., relates the following inci dent in which a bear of the cinnamon spe cies abducted hisathree year old daughter, not with any desire to harm the child, but through a strange kind of affection. It ap pears that Mr. Flynn started one morning to take a horse to pasture, about two miles dis tant from the house, and, as his little girl seemed anxious to go, he put her upon the horse's back and let her ride a short distance, pel haps torty rods from the house where, he put her down and told her to run home. He noticed that she continued standing where he had left her, and, on looking back after going a little further, saw her playing in the sand. He soon passed out of sight and was gone about an hour, expecting of coursethat the child woHld return to the bouse after playing a few moments. On returning home he made inauirv about her of her mother. who said she had not seen her, and supposed he had taken her along with him. On going to the spot where he left her he saw huge hear tracks in the sand, and at once came to the conclusion that the child had been car ried off by a bear. The family immediately made search thro' the forest, which was grown up to almost a jungle, rendering their search very slow. All day these anxious parents searched for traces of their child; nor did they stop when darkness came on, but remained in the woods calling the lost one by her name. Morning came, and theii search was fruit less. A couple of gentlemen from below, who traveling through the mountain buying stock, came to the house, and, heine inform ed of the circumstances, immediately set out to find her. The gentlemen wandered about. and as they were passing a swamp spot i does it as well and for nearly is manv b trd where the undergrowth was thick called the J ers. Considering merely "th wages sb child, or else they weie talking loud, when ! saves, her work is worth nearly a rio!ir one of them heard her voice. He then called i day ; and considering the profits she spn?? her by name, and told her to come out of the i to the establishment. It is worth prnrsS:y bushes. She replied that the bear would not j three times that. Yet proW-ly the pAv-.i -nt let her. j u generally made through her linsiud 1 ne men 1 nen crept '.nrougn the hruh and when near the spot where she and the liear were they heard a splash in the wntf, which the child said was the bear. Ongoing to her they found her standing upon a log ex tending about half way across a swamp. The hear had undertaken to cross the swamp on the log. and being pursued left the child and got away as rapidly as possible. She had received some scratches about the face, arms and legs, and her clothes were almost torn from her body; hut the bear had not bitten her to hurt her, only the marks of his teeth being found on her back, where, in taking hold of her clothes to carry her, he Lad taken the flesh also. The little one says the bear would put her down occasionally to rest and would put his nose up to her face, and she would slap him, when the bear would hang his head by her side and purr and rub aeainst her like a cat. The men asked her If she was cold in the rieht, and she told them the old bear lay down beside her and put his "arms" around her and kept her warm, though she did not like bis long hair. She was taken borne to her parent. HIS FLAG SHOULD EE THESE. It is said that the "President's Flag," trie new rag that has been Invented, u only tote used on a shin when the President is on board. O, that Is different Theu there la to be only one flag in existence. That Is t.i right. VVe supposed the new flag was to go into general circulation for Fourth of July' and colored picnics, arjj to advertise lagrr beer saloons, lunches and -verythintf, like the star spanged banner. Of course. If ,t S only going to fly on a ship when the 1'iesl dent is on it, there need oe otily one, i:at! e-a is oily one of the President, and he caunot be on two ships at once. So Arthur can car ry the flag in his pistol pocket, and when he goes on board a ship he cau baud th flag to a seaman, and that worthy can climb the hop pole in the centre of the vesse! and filnj it to the breeze. We alioos; wish tho flsg of the President could be more numerous. Hid thai it could float whenever the Presid -n.. is on a train, or on a wagon, or when he rkes a call anywhere. If we are go:n5 to ii.-T-the President flagged, like a Wild freight train, we don't see why it should iiui !. d i on land as well as on sea. At sea m oJy can see the flag except the fellow cl tho same ship with him, and they know he Is there without a flag. The navy shouldn't have all the distinction. Now. the President is coming to Milwaukee next mouth, ai.d v- want him flagged. If he visit tne Sun cfi -t we want to hang the bonuie blue flag of Ar thur the bold out of our window, so thi;t ;V people can see that the boss is here. If ttv goes to the brewery his flal.ould flat from the flagstaff, and w lien he goes to the expo sition his flag should be on the roof, like a cat, fighting the other flags. In the proces sion, as be comes up town, from th- depot, his flag should be cartied by a bold dragoon, and when he lands at Mr. MitcbeK'a resi dence the flag should be hoisted to the bigi.. est battlements of the tower, sothe chamber maids across the way, at the hotel, can that a President is sleeping the sleep of in nocence behind the adjacent mo-quito br.r, and the people who go tramping alou- on th sidewalks can keep quiet and let him 6leep. The President's flag should be used wherev er he goes, and people will know where Le is. Very ofteu it is difficult to tell whera a President, is, but with a blue flag floating In the etherial space above him. tiiey woui know he was there, if they didn't know w.tat ; he was doing. We learn that the Trince of ' Wales has a flag, and it floats whrrever he Is located. If he calls on a gill, his flag U 'IL there, over the house that all the p. pte may ; know the honorthat is conferred on the b.st. Our country does not want to be bhl id I England on sty'e, when It does not ot s 17 ' thing. Take It there in Wa.-hingto:i, enl 't . the President's fla was continu-i.ly f! -Mi..,-1 where he is getting in his work, eit!:r rt t' ; White House, at church, at tne Tnu-ui-v ! Department or the Capitol, it wee.id fc.v--. ; heap of trouble. Of course, there r t o ; when a President would p. git. at .'. . rather the tl.tg wohM not he hi - .-'ng . . where he might W, but as there is Lnilr. j in all branches of hiiMiiess, he could hart tne ; flag hung out on some other house In the : same block, where it would not cause re-ai.rs j If he was in New York, anj had the flii?

A c"d liar or'd r,e hired for 2,000 a year for pnvr.te t cietsry . But we have no doubt he has already seem rl a liar for a secretary, so a'l that is nc s-sr. now is to float the flag. The Presi.i-n'.'i fl.xg will be looked for with Miuch interest ht-te next month. Peck's Sun. A HARDSHIP OF MARRIAGE. THE LIFE WORK OF A WIFE iHK SETEHR LA HOH. Colonel T. W. Higginson ia TTie TFomi . Journal, says : We are constantly tolj ttiht the life-work of a wife is as arduous and as absorbiug as that of her husband. We are told that if she does her duty to her farii.y, she can have no time to study uietpphysicr. or to put a slip of paier into the ballot box. I think it was the conservative Dr. Ed war ; n. Clarke who declared that the duties of mother of a family required as much U ll brain and body as thoe of the c.puiin 01 e ship. Grant it all ; grant that she hard us her husband does. If o, the 1 .' ; ence is irresistible that she enru her ot the family income. The fact that he re ceives the money and pays the bills tuaket him the treasurer of the family, that In all ; and he has no more right than any n'.her treasurer to take airs upon himself and nonsense. When he pays out money to he:. It is not as a gift, but as earnings. In many cases the money all came as her dowry to begin with. In many other cases she does her full share In the direct earolng of the income.

For farming iri New England, while yielding a comfortable supjiort, yields but little in the form of mon ey ; and in many caes the greater part of I tne "ctual cas'' recent during the summer months comes through the energy of the wife In takinp city boarders. In a farm house near my summer abode, a cook ia hired at four dollars a week, while the boarding ason lasts, and a "second girl" at three dollars and a half.
