And tho pliniitoms of youth, aa fair and

That roso at the dream of her April

And ever and aye tho sudden rain

And ev;r ami aye the f.il!iii;' rain
Streamed thick and fasten the window

TVhere faintly and fitfully bhono the
Hash;
Slowly and 6adly her pulses beat.
And solt was the fall, as of vanishing

And lush and green as from guarded

She paw the grass of the valley wave;
And like echoes In ruins seemed to Pigh,

And caught the swoop of the sullen rain,
And dashed it against the window-pane.

i 'led mi tlio wall of his shop.
do voil ki.ow it's a good pic
t ne?" Hkcd the reportorinl visitor,
v. M.so faint similitude of a beard was
I i trontly mowed down by tho keen
ShiTi. Id bla.le.
"'t'iime I ought to know," ref.llel
IT.irev with a proud smile. "I shaved
Mr. Clay the hist time he was in Balti
more, and a barber who shaves a groat
man like him is not opt to forget how ho
looks. Yes, sir, it's the bost picture I
ever saw.
"I'll toll you how It was," he con
tinued. " It was in January, lS.'O, w hen
Mr. Clay made his last visit to Balti
more. I was a young man then anil
was working in the barber shop under
the old Fountain Hotel, now tho Car
rolltoii. The bo.sn he comes to mo and
In n;:y.s, f-avs he :
' ' Charlie, you go up to Frof. Smith's
house on Karat og striM-t and shavo a
i ;:.n : ami yon do a good job, because it's
Mr. Henry ( lay.'
"So I took my bo.t tools and went to
Frof. Smith's. Henry Clay always
stopped nt Prof. Smith's hoiue when ho
came to Baltimore. He was then in tho
r-e,v.;nl-story front room waiting for tho
bari.or. Vi'hen I got to tho door Mr.
Clay w as a-readin' a paper and he looked
up and s aid :
" Come In hero, you black scoundrel,
and rret to work on dis ere face.'
"But ho was mighty pleasant, and
that was only hi3 way of talk big ; and I
tell you I made a good job of it, for I
was prou l to shave Mr. Clay. There
whs athren days' growth of beard, but
it Wits not thick. Mr. Clay's beard was
thin. Ho had one of the higtrer-t faces I
ever shaved, and bis upper lip was
lnoiislus lar.-jo. When I was n-shavln'
that lip I bad for to cotch hold of his
nose. Mr. Clay laughed and said :
" ' Look here, you nigger, diir's mighty
few men I would allow for to pull my
nose in dat way.'
"When I got through Mr. Clay asked
me what he owod me.
"'Not a cent,' said I, forthe honor
of shaving Mr. Henry Clay is enough
pay for me.'
" "Oh ! take this half dollar,' ho said,
handing mo a silver flft3'-cent plocn.
But I refused again, when Mr. Clay
laughed and said : ,
" (Hr ! it's mi bor.or to share me; I'm
only clay after all ; I was made of clay,
by clay," and I will return to clay Just
like ot her people.
" But I refused to take a cent and went
away. When I went back to the 6hop
my boss said :
" YVhero's do money fur do shave?'
"And when I told liim that I would
not take any ho was pretty mad about
It.
" You ought to have brought back
nt lea-t a half-dollar for shaving a man
like ( lav,' ho said.
Ho said ho. .vouhl take fifty cents out
of mv pay, and I told him I would be
glad if be would, aiid ho did." N. Y.

Bad Never Seen His Wife and Children.
Several' years ago a resident of one
of the suburbs bad the misfortune to
become. totAlly blind, a cataract forming
over his eyes. While in this condition
his wife tiled.
A young German girl whom the un
fortunate man hail never seen was very
attentive to tho wife in her last illness,
and after her death did what she could
tt make the grief-stricken husband and
his two Httlo children as comfortable as
possible.
Such devotion, did not go unrewarded.
The blind man proposed and was ac
cepted. He ruarrled the faithful girl.
Two children were the result of this
vinton. Imring hrs-ycars of blindness
the sightless never lost hopes that
some day he might again look upon tho
leautie of nature and the loved ones
around him.
A physician was finally consulted, who
agreed to attempt the removal of tho
cataract. The operation was successful,
"mid he from whom the light had been
rshut;out so many years saw again. He
was almost beside himself with joy.
., A friend who was at oirfe rittignlzod,
came In leading a lady by the hand.
Do you knoiy who this Ib'f" ho said
to the happy fellow. - -
" No, I do not."
" This is your wife," and then the
pair, one of whom had never seen the
other, fell into each other's arms, and
a domestic scene of pathetic beauty en
sued. The two little . children were also brougnt
into their father. - Ho clasped them to
his beating heart, and all the miseries of
the past were forgotten In the ploasjre
of that moment. Cincinnati Sun.

RavLfitn Deaerlptlon of the Lmarions
Kef oementa With Which She la 1'ro
virt.d. An hour before you get up, your maid
will lii-ht your fire, and thon screen it
withasilver framework lined with roso
silk, which will temper the heat and give
the wiole room a 6ort of rosy morning
light that warms while it illumines.
Then she will bring you on a silvcrplate
warmer your cup of chocolate, hot and
foaming, which you will drink from tho
warmer itself, munching tho while your
rusks, served on a little gold toast-rack,
kept hot in ltd turn by a little live char
coal, sprinkled with vanilla to perfume
the air.
AfU;r you have taken your chocolate
vou will doze again foracotiple of hours.
Then you will put on a deshabille of
pink satin, lined with swansdown, envel
oping the whole body from head to foot.
The waistband and the fastening of the
iieekofthis garment must be of relvet,
so a? to be warm to the touch.
Y'ou may now pass into tho bath-room,
the atmosphere of which will be kept at
an agreeable temperature by little gusts
of rose-scented vapor pumped through
an aperture in the wall. It is now time
to ttraw on tho stockings, lined with
warm, flossy 6llk, long and perfumed,
and gartered with Russian sables, clasped
with cat's-eye stones set In diamonds.
The loots are to be lined with swans
down, and trimmed with Kussian sables
as well.
Our precious product of civilization Is
now in her dressing-room. This is to be
made comfortable by means of an im
mense foot-warmer some ten feet square,
which is to form a kind of second floor
ing all about the dressing-table. The
blinds may be colored to represent the
ardent rays of the sun, and tho padding
to keep out the draught is to bo ti immod
with natural flowers. This will make
the place look and feel like a summer
bower In the deoth of winter.
The maid may now fumigate the naps
?of th? neck with a little burnt benzoin, to
make it supple. Wo must not forget the
hands. Those may Ixi kept warm by
holding thorn in two lillle vessels of
enamel with warm water, and shaped
like apple. The promised advantage of
this arrangement is that it gives tho
hands that attractive rosincss which
warmth can alone impart.
The Parisionne avoids, as though It
was laden with the breath of post i lotion,
every touch of cold air. Tiio carrlugo in
which she takes her drive is hermetically
closed. Sho may realize winter by watch
ing tho ice and milkmen blowing on their
fingers through the windows.
It is bed time. The lady assumes the
veUnimU oritvmire. Then the second gar
ment a eort of ulster of white plush,
trimmed with ostrich feathers at tho
neck and wrists. The nightcap, of white
satin, should be trimmed with fep.thcrs
of tho same bird, and, for additional
warmth, a little turtle dovo may be fas
tened abovo tiie left ear.
The very ha rids are 1 o have their night
cap, gloves of pink kid, lined with pbi -h,
aud f listened ly elastics i in pink chenille;
so as nut to check the circulation. Tiie
bod Is to be heated by tho fumes of
burnt limo, flowers, and violets.
Entln, you will drink, just before going
to sleep, a light crone ir tahi.lvn, nice and
hot, niado with two fresh eggs and a
glass of Madeira.
Good night. La Vie Parisionne.
Making Good Housekeeper.
Miss Boid ley gave an exhibition of her
garden pupils yesterday afternoon. The
class consisted of twenty-four little
girls, ranging in age from 12 to ir, and
repre-i nting almost every Kuropean
country. Their long white pinafuros,
tint ed muslin caps, and prim little lies,
gave them an appearance tliat was very
ref re-hing.
Tii- y entered the. room in single file to
a military march, carrying miniature
tables c:id boxes. In tho latter were
linen, cutlery and small table furniture.
Brought to a halt. Miss Buntley put
the Utile housewives through, a, cate
chism ot domestic literature, from
vhieh the following quotations- were
tc ught:
' How often should a room be swept?"
Thoroughly once a wook," answered
a wee bit of a Swede willi a voice bigger '
than h-Tself. ' ' "''' : ' '
"What kind -rtf a broom is lost ior.
the corners and edges of. a room2" ,
" Whisk broom." sang out a maid with
yellow pig-tails, who seemed to be hav
ing her throat sawed by the well-laundered
tie under herohin.
"Why Is a dust rag better than a
feather du-jter'f"
''Because tho feathers scatter the
dust instead of gathering it," and Euch
qtn-ries of similar practicality.
After this part of the programme the
girls took out their litUo tablecloths,
tin: piano struck up a series of popular
tunes, and tho board was spread iu a
maimer that was calculated to charm an
epicurean.
Before tho little beds were made the
class had an oral recitation, one ques
tion being: "What three things are
noeosary for nice bed making'?" The
auswi r was: "Level mattresses,
smooth clothes, and 6quare corners."
TliMii the mattresses were whipped
into shape, tho pillows knocked in form,
nnd in an incredibly short time every
bed was as Hat as the nap on a$15 ulster,
and tho children retired under a murmur
of applause.
On their return they carried trays,
with which they went through a series
of pretty maniimvres, the words being
suggested by the trio In ' Patience."
Dishes were washed, and after the place
was "tidicl up," brooms were used for
an exercise in calisthenics.
It is needless to say that the exhibi
tion was enthusiastically received.
The little girls have been under the in
struction of Miss Bentley for the last two
years, the school session being held Sat
urdays only. As soon as her pupils have
completed the prescribed course it is the
teacher's intention to provide each grad
uate with a position in some first-class
family, where the Intelligence of the girl
will be appreciated. (Chicago Tribune.

The other morning a mule attached to
one of George 15. Newton's coal wagons
fell on Chestnut street above Sixteenth.
The cars were blocked for at least half
an hour. All the efforts of some twenty
car drivers and conductors were of no
avail in trvlng to get him on his feet.
At last a dai key who had boon watch

Ho was given the field.
Entering Thompsoa Black's grocery,
he procurod two lumps of sugar, which
ho gave tho mulo.
Tho mule's keen relish of tho sweets,
as he lay in tiie snow with his head on a
blanket, was ludicrous in tho extreme.
No sooner had he licked his chops after
his dainty lunch than up he jumped to
his feet.
The sevoral hundred pedestrians who
had gathered to witness tho feat of the
darkey made the welkin ring with their
lou'l cheers In honor of tho man who

PEIZE BOXES rOB OOTJNTBTMEN.
What They Oat For Trying to Buy Coun
terfeit Money.
John Hodge, of Bogopolis, was sitting
on a fivo-rail fence. Not that John had
nothing better than a five-rail fence to
sit upon, but it suited his playful humor
to sit there rather than upon one of ii,,
three logged stools or broken-bricked
chairs with which hl3 house was fur
nished, i
John was an humble-minded eon of .
agriculture, spmetimes yclept "yokel," j
and lie barely knew enough to read his
newspaper and write a letter full of
originality In the spelling.
As John Hodge sat upon the five-railed
fence lie was reading his paper. Ho was
not reading the news, but tho adver
tisements. Away down in the depths
of ids soul John had long cherished a
hope that some day he would be called
to a higher sphere of usefulness.
Perhaps some one would advertise for
a nice, healthy country boy to become
President of the I'nltod States, or the
elevated railroad, or something of that
kind. John did not find such an ad
advertisement, but ho did find this :
Attention! IGOti for $2oo ! Fortunes
made evorv day. Address S. S. Q., P.
O. Box 'J,a'jif,,N. T."
Hodge was astonished and delighted.
A feeling of unspeakable satisfaction
spread over him as he remembered that
he had twice J-.JO0 in the savings bank.
He jumped down off tho rail fence,
rushed into the house, and addressed
'S. S. y." Two days later he received
a letter which told him that a personal
interview would be necessary. A time
an 1 place were appointed.
John was there. He met a charming
gentleman with a benevolent, not to say
patriarchal, air. Tho gentleman took
John to his office and laid a pile of
crisp, brand-new bank notes before
him.
"Do you see anything the matter
with those?" asked the gentleman.
" No," said John ; "I'd like to have as
many of them as I could carry."
"So you shall. But first come with
me."
Then the gentleman took John across
tho street to a hank. Ho showed tho
bills to the Paying Teller and suid :
"Is there anything the matter with
those?"
" No," said the Teller, after carefully
examining thorn. The gentleman
thanked the Paying Teller and took
John back to his oflTiee.
Now," said he, "those bills are coun
terfeits. I kuow, for I made them."
" Jee-rickety !" exclaimed John.
" You cau have $000 of them for $200,
or $l.oi)0 for $-100."
John hesitated. The bait was very
tempting. Finally he said :
" Well, I guoss 1 11 begin on $600."
"I haven't that much on hand now.
I'll have to make them. Y'ou can pay
me tho ii0, and I'll givo you my note
for thirty days; and whon you receive
the goods you can scud mo back the
note."
" That's square dealing," said John.
He paid the $200, and received the note
of Thomas Samuels.
"I'll send you the goods by Adams
Express," said Mr. Samuels.
John departed fully satisfied, and went
back to Bogopolis with a light heart
and a flat pocketbook. Several days
later he received a package carefully
sealed. It was heavy. John wondered
a little at its weight, but hastened to Ida
room to open it. With trembling fin
gers he tore open tho wrapping, ami
found within a box. Ho opened the box
and found In that not moi oy, but
sawdust. "
John nearly fainted. nis mooey had
been stolen. But by whom? The ex
press agent, of course. No ono else
could lutvo taken the'noney out and
resealed tiie packau'e so neatly.
John wrote the following letter to tho
express company:
Adams Express Company New York on
the 2''th of december T had a cash

: P. S. If I loos that money I will pub
lish the clrcumstane In the diferent New
York papers.
The express company put Its detec-'
tlves to work on the ease, and very soon
the agent in charge of the office at li ich
the box was scut, wrote a full account or
the matter to Superintendent William
Hoey.
He concluded his letter by saying :
" I finally learned enough to convince
me that he had gone to New Y'ork to
buy some 'green' goods which could
not be distinguished from tho genuine
article, and while there the sharpers had
'held him up' for the $)UTJ, same as
hundreds of other poor dupes have been,
taken In, and then they thought the
express company had done it. It Is the
same old story, with which you. and I
are so familiar, but of which it is 60 hard
to convince the greenies."
Does this often happen?" an officer
of the company was asked.
" Every day." was the answer. "There
is a class of countrymen who visit New
Y'ork not less than '20 a day for tho
purpose of purchasing counterfeit
money, and the old game is invariably
played upon them.
"After these dupe3 have received the
sawdust, they write the express com
pany sucli letters as I have shown you.
I can give vou enough ot them to make
a book." (N. Y. Times.

Tho Introduction of the. megaphone on
ehipboard a sort of telescope for tho
ear, or machine for magnifying sound is
said to be a boon in prospect for mariners.
Its design is to enable a person to hear or
carry on a conversation with people at a
distance, and it. is constructed of two
huge cone-shaped tubes, eight feet long
and three in diameter at the large end,
which diminish to an apex In the form of
rubber tubes small enough to place in tho
ear.
Between those tubes are two smaller
ones, constructed In the eamo manner,
but not more than half the diameter. By
placing the rubber tubs in the ear and
speaking through tho smaller cones the
person wm hear and be- heard at a long
distance, and it thus aids mariners iu
listening for the sound of b; al. t is, or
carrying on conversation with persons on
Shore or on other vessels at a distance.
Imt.lea Church In Cuba
A traveler reports a common scene in
a Cuban church :
"Each pious dame brings a Httlo
carpet, or rather a small-sized negro
brings it for her. Sho kneels, but in a
few minutes sits. An ill-bred person
would say 'squats.' Tired with the course
of the ceremonial, she at length reclines.
In the middle of the service the floor is
strewn with a choice assortment of ladies'
dress goods with the ladies inside ot
them.
"At certain places In the ceremonial
it is necessary for everybody to place
themselves in a kneeling posture, and
there is a general struggle to attain this
end. To eeo two or three hundred women
scrambling at onee from a reclining to a
kneeling position, has a tendency for tha
moment to destroy the solemn feeling
one should, &ave under UiO clrcufli-stanccs."

SI.SO and
MONEY-MAKING IN WASHINGTON-
Cnrloua Win of "Ratalnc the Wind"
Adopted by Residents of the Capital.
" There are many curious ways ot
making money in Washington." said a
loading lawyer to me last night, writes
"Carp" to the Cleveland Lender.
"Tho curbstone brokers here do a
bettor business than pawnbrokers Of
other cities, and they charge as hh'h as
10 per cent, a month for money. There
nre 15,000 clerks In Washington. Nearlv
half of them live ahead of their s.-)ary
end not a few speculate. These men are
ulways borrowing money, and thev pav
2, 3, 5, nnd 10 per cent, a month for It.
"The business of lending has grown to
such an extent that there are men who
follow it as a profession. The rational
banks are concerned in it Indirectly nm!
thero are numbers of small banks wh! h
do nothing else. These small bunks
have their agents among the cleiks.
Such agents are generally cm j loved in
the departments, and a banking Arm
has one in each of the big biddings.
" This man gives out that he has a
little money to lend on bis own hook.
The borrower goes with him to his
t ank, and with two good endorsers gets
tho money on his promissory note at a
high rate of interest, but the interest
is put in the note ami not charged upon
its face. Tho bank then endorses t ids
note over to the national bank with
which it deals, and when the time
comes for payment the clerk pays it
or ho finds the Influences brought to
boar which will turn him out of cfHco
If he refuses to pay.
"Many prominent men with an eye to the
main chance have been engaged bi this
business through third parties, and there
is a bank now near the Post- face
Department whose capital comes from
a leading Ohio statesman who had
chargo of ono of the leading bureaus last
year."
" How about speculation in Washing
ton?" " This Is the greatest place In the
world to speculate Everyone docs it,
and women and men, poor arid rich,
clerks and Congressmen, all watch the
ticker and bet on the rise and fall of
stocks. There aro dozens of bucket
shops In Washington located near tho
great depnt Imeiit-s, and thero is ono
within a Mono's throw of tho Capitol
where you may find Congressmen daily.
"Of course, such speculation brings
ruin to many clerks," this gentleman
continued, "and it brings about pIiv
defalcations to tho Goverm ie-.t. It is I
on a, par with hundreds (if pol.t r games
which lire played night after id, hi litre,
ami spooking of this r'.-mim! I it) that I
know the inside historyof a little trouble
in connection with the Congressional
Library which has never been published.

he started to go he found it had disap

ment was given out that the authorities
had perfect confidence in his honesty,
and some of them repaid tin; money
for him. Ho was retained for a shoit
time in tho office and then disappeared.

There'6 the familiar pump, who makes
the business of his or her life to rout
out every disagreeable circumstance con
nected with every family and retail them
round the neighborhood.
People speak of her or him as " know
ing everything." but this supreme knowl
edge is only gained by tho greatest per
severance and systematical pumping.
The pump is detested and feared ; she
generally makes her attack upon the
youngest and softest member of a familv,
going to work after this fashion :
She meets little Mary, whoso brother
George has left tiie country (as she
thinks) suddonlyand suspiciously. After
kissing the deaf child, she t;tkcs"her into
a shop, expends a penny on sweets, then
they walk hand in hand and tho pumping
Commences :
"And so kind brother George has gono
awav?"
" Yes."
"And dear little Mary la very sorry,
Isn't she? Yes, I know sho Is. And how's
mamma?"
" Quite well, thank you."
"Ah! not quite well, of course; but
she was very glad for poor Georgo to go,
eh ?"
The pump glances sharply at the child,
but the little face is unruflled, tho sweots
are good, and just tho suspicion of a
smilo plays around her lips.
" Oh ! yes ; because it was for his good,
you know."
"Ah ! he loft tho bank rather suddenly I
think."
I don't know ; I did not see him."
The pump looks baffled and vexed
was it for this she wasted her substance
in pear drops? But she continues :
"And so poor mamma cried very much,
and dear papa was angry with George?"
" No, ho wnsn't ; there was nothing to
be angry- atvotit."
. " No, dear? I thought you said that
when ioor George came homo unexpect
edly mamma cried nnd papa was angry?"
Tho pump had met her match for once;
the child looks up and laughs.
"I didn't say anything of tho sort, and
George told me to tell you if.you j-sked
any questions that there's an iron pump
in our garden and vou can exercise vour
sclf there if you like."
Every one, I am sure, has met the
pump, that nuisance who could cork
screw herself into your every affair.

A '49 LEDGER.
Drinking Among the Fmrly Oold Seeker
of C'aliforntSA.
Among the papers of tho lato James
W. Marshall, the discoverer of gold in
California, was found tho account-book
of a firm that carried on business in
Ci!oma in '41b This, as Is well known, is
tho place where gold was discovered.
The book is full of charges of merchan
dise to various persons, and In this
respect is very much like an ordinary
day-hook, but It also porved as a cash
look and g; ral memorandum of
all kinds of transact ions. The name of
tho firm was Shannon A Cady.
That the 'i.'crs early becan a life of
dissipation Is proved by the fact that
tho liquor trade of the frm exceeded
all the rest of their business. 'I here
were then as many difi-rei.t kinds of
liquors as we have to-day. Seme of
them were in greater demand than
ot dors.
Tho following Is tho order In which
they seem to have been preferred, to
gether with the price per quart bott lo :
Ale $5; champagne cider, $0; cham
pagne. $12; brandy. $0; whisky. $G ; Kos
olio cordials. $4 ; Stoughton Litters. $'. ;
riu, $..; claret. $; h.llcry. $0; porter
(pint bottles;, $4; Absinthe was sol 1, for
which five dollars a bottle was charged.
Ale, giu, porter aud claret were abun
dant. The following statement of the first
day's sales recorded In the old book
will give an idea of the amount of
liquor sold by the Crm. and also the
general character of the business, of
course, only credit sales w ere it omired
in the book, but no doubt the cash sales
were alx.ut the same in character.
Tho amount of credit sales for the
first day was $2 .5o. Of this $272 was
for liquor, $".3 for provisions, $s for
vinegar and lemon syrup, and $1 1 ."o fur
various small articles of hardware.
Forty-six bottles of ale wore sold, two
bottles of champngne cider, and o:;e
br.ttlo of brandy. The ale was much
more In demand than any other liquor.
Whisky was either scarce or not a popu
lar drink.
Tho fir1 1 chargo made to Marebill i :
" 1 bot. whisky. $'.," which was the first
whisky sold. This will cause r.;any a
ono to smile who knows of the weak
ness that afterward blighted the poor
old man's life. His next purchase was
more creditable to bim : "ou Us. flour,
$2.."
Among tho debtors of the frru tho
name " Pat Doody" occurs quite often.
He was a miner, for there j ic. ma: y
credils for gold duct to his account.
For some time, at dccor.t Intervals, he
bouht a moderate amount of liquor,
but suddenly, ono Wednesday, t!;e
charges MA-ainst him f'T alcoholic re
freshments Assumed alarming propor
tions. That day Ids liquor bill was twenty
dollars; the following day, tventy
thrce dollars ; and up to next Tucv-day,
or duiing six days, he spent I inety
ni:ie dollars for liquor. Ho did not
coidine himself to one kind, but bought
about equal proporiioi.s of aie, claret,
bian.ly, gin, and wl-.i-ky. besides the
drinks. After this th io j a sugges
tive absence of the name of Pat Doody
from the books for several weeks.
Then on two consecutive days thero
are two charges to "P. Doody t by Mrs.
D.i." Women, as everyone knows, were
scarce in the mines then, and this is the
only woman named in tlio book. So it
seems that Pat had a wife. There can
be no doub't that this fearful week's
spree had prostrated him, and at last
she had come 1 the s' - ro bo'.'!f to
make s :-io j- .t l.-is 's 'I he f :-t arti'de

This move on tho part of I'at will be
understood by any one who is In the

were taken as a means (if regulating tho

Courtesy Kitraordlnury.
An Englishman once said that the
most delicate and c-onsi h rnto courtesy
that ever came under his ol -,ci viit i.m was
extended him in n Nevada si -moment :
"A I. hi keeper out there a-tc lacto
drink with bim. I was agreeable.
He handed out a decanter of whisky
from his sid- of the bar. placed it before
me, drew the stopper, and then turned
bis back to m.-. with thoevidot:t i'ltenlion
of freeing me from any cinl hi i assiuent,
touching the size i f the libation in which
I mi'lit choose to indulco."
A local wi it or tells of an act of courtesy
which matches if it does net exceod this
beauteous one of Nevada.
Mirmenpolls can boast of a stamp
clerk who when " a trembling youth or
pdushing maiden hands her a I recious
package with tho addressed side down,
never turns it over."
"A rouuh. uncouth man," remarks the
writer in a eulogy of her sweet thoiight
fulnoss. "would have turned the ad
dressed side up with reckless indifference
as to the burning sensation to tin? flutter
ing heart and the embarrassment of the
owner of the package outtido the stamp
window. But not sho.
"The package was always weighed
wrong side up and tho treml limr ono
without breathed an inward blessing on
her."
Hold On!
A clergyman who once served a church
not a thousand miles from Jackson,
Mich., used to relate the following amus
ing incident :
Ono summer evening his three-year-old
boy's r tent ion was ntlnietod to the vivid
lightning and low muttering thunder of

That Congress is not the quietest
place in the world is demonstrated by
