COOKING PIES TOGETHER
Dear Ned—no doubt you'll be surprised,
When you receive and read this letter ;
I've railed against the marriage state,
But then you see, I knew no better,
I've met a lovely girl out here,
Her manner is—well—very winning ;
We're soon to be—:ell,•Ned, my dear,
I'll tell you all from the beginning.
I went to ask her out to ride,
Last,Wednesday—it was perfect weather
She said she couldn't, possibly„
The servants had goneorr together,
(Hibernian always rush away,
At cousins . funerals to be looking,)
Pies must be made, and she must stay,
She said, to do that branch of cooking.
"Oh, let me help you, " then I cried
"I'll ben cooker, too—how lolly'?"
She laughed and answord with a smile,
"All right ! but you'll repent your jolly
For I shall be a tyrant, sir
And good hard work you'llhave to grapple
So sit down there, and don't you stir,
But take that knife and pare that apple."
She rolled her sleeve above her arm—
That lovely arm so plump and rounded
Outside, the morning sun shone bright;
Inside, the dough she deftly pounded.
Her little angers sprinkled tlour,
And rolled the pleerust up in Masses;
I passed the most delightful hour
"Mid butter, sugar, and molasses.
With deep reflection, her sweet eyes
Gazed on each pot and pan and kettle;
She sliced the apple, filled her pies.
And then the upper crust did settle.
Her rippling waves of golden hair
In one great coil were tightly twisted;
But locks would break it. here and there,
And curl about whereer they listed,
And then her sleeves come down, and I
Fastened it up—her hands were doughy
Oh, it did take the longest time,
Her arm, Ned was so fair and snowy;
She blushed, and trembled, and looked shy;
Somehow, that made me all the bolder;
Her arch lips looked so red that I
Well—found her head upon my shoulder,
We're to be married, Ned next month;
Come and attend the wedding revels.
really think that bachelors
Are the most miserable devils !
You'd better go for some girl's hand ,
And If you are uncertain whether
You dare to mice a due demand,
Why Just try cooking pies together.

A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE
In Cinchmatti, on Monday, two broth
ers named Rodignez, Spaniards, as their
names hmicate, came to Father Edward
. Purcell and asked leave to put in order
the lightning rod that runs up the tall
spire of the cathedral on the corner of
Plum and Eighth streets. The Father
told them the insulators on the rod were
broken and other repairs to it, no one
could tell how much, were needed, but he
besought them to put up scaffolding in
order to get at the rod, which needed to
be repaired. Having been commissioned
to do the work they proceeded to the exe
cution of it without delay. To the pass
er,s along the throughfares the sight of two
-threading their" way up the out Side
of the spire was full of interest. Coming
out of the spire at one of the Louvre win
dows just above the dial faces of the tow
er, the men swung a ladder partly by a
rope dropped down from a narrow aper
ture just below the base of the spire, and
partly by its own hooks, caught upon the
stone moulding around the next story
above the tower. Up this pendulous hid
der one of the men clambered, hanging to
the rungs like a parrot to its perch. On
the edge of the moulding to which the
hooks of the ladder hung, was a good base
of operations. A half dozen ladders were
provided. One was drawn up and planted
on the new base, and lashed in place both
at the top and the bottom. The top
touched the last edge of moulding in the
ascent of the base out of which the tower
EMS!
On the streets for squares distant wit
nesses watched the ascent, while near the
scene the pavements were lined with
spectators, The two brothers were on
the scene by this time and the ascent up
the spire proper had been commenced.
The first ladder of this final series rested
on the base of the spire and was lashed to
it top and the bottom, by ropes passing
around the spire. The two men carried a
second ladder up this one, and lashed the
bottom of the former to the top of the lat
t2r. The next thing was to secure this
last addition of climbing aparatus. One
of the brothers climbed it while the other
luld its base. tip in that dizzy bight a
rope was thrown around the spire, and the
top of this ladder secured by it, until live
or six ladders were strung in the series,
the topmost reaching within two or three
feet of the base of the cross, which termi
nates the spire at a Light two hundred mid
twenty trre.fef above the base of the Cathe
dral.
When the line of spliced ladders had
crept up the eastern face of the spire to
this position, a ladder with hooks at the
top was carried up and hooked upon the
cross. One of the brothers ascended this,
took position first upon an arm of the
cross. and then stepped up and stood erect
upon the very top of the upright portion
of that stone cross. Standing there he
unscrewed the top of the lightning rod
and tossed it to the ground. Several va
riations of the perforinance took place
about this time. Once both the brothers
were on the opposite arms of the cross.
The standing upon the top of the cross,
and the climbing about its arms continued
for some time, when the men descended,
leaving their ladder for a continuation of
the performance the next clay.
The crowd cheered when the top of the
cross was reached, that is the boys in the
crowd cheered. The men were sober ob
servers. One strong fellow turned from
the sight with the remark that it was
too much for his nerves. Others shudder
ed audibly, and wished aloud for the men
to conic down, but still they continued to
look. Everybody expressed relief when
the two men came down, and many gave
vent to regrets that the perilous task

OUR GRANDMOTHERS.
Gail Hamilton is writing a series of
vivacious papers in Ilio:per's Bazar, called
"Blotting. Papers." She criticises the
grandmothers of the past in a very
sprightly and just fashion:
"It is simply impossible—listen now, 1
pray, all knights of high and low degree,
marching along thousand scorns strong
great hearted gentlemen singing this song
of woman's spericity—it, is simply impos
sible for any woman to do the whole work
of her household, and make her life what
a woman's life ought to be. This is a rule
that admits of no exception and no modi
fication. The machinery of the family is
so complicated and so exacting that one
woman cannot have the sole charge of it
without neglecting other and equally im
portant matters. The duties which a
woman owes to society, :milt° the moral
and spiritual part of her household, are
just as imperative as those which she owes
to its physical comfort. And if she alone
ministers to the latter, the former must
be neglected, and the latter will hardly be
thoroughly accomplished.
"I know all about our noble grand
mothers. I have heard of them before, I
think we could run a race with them any
clay. But if we cannot whose fault is it?
If the women of to-day are puny, fragile,
degenerate, are they not the grandchildren
of their grandmothers—bearing such con
stitutions as their grandmothers could
transmit? It was the duty of those ven
erable ladies. not only to be strong them
selves, but to see to it that their children
were strong. A sturdy race should leave
a sturdy race. It was far more their duty
to give to their children vigorous minds,
stalwart bodies, healthy nerves, firm prin
ciples, than it was to spin and weave and
make butter and cheese all day. We
should have got along just as well with
less linen laid up in lavender; and if our
grandmothers could only have waited, we
would have woven them more cloth in a
day than their hand looms would turn out
in a lifetime. But theie is no royal road
to a healthy manhood and womanhood
Nothing less costly than human life goes
into the construction of human life.
-We should have more reason to lie
rateful to our ancestors if they would
liavc given up their superfluous industries
called off their energy from its perishable
objects, and let more of their soul and
strength flow leisurely in to build up the
strength of the generations that were
to come after them. Nobody is to blame
for being born weak. If this generation
of women is feeble, compared with its
hardy and laborious grandmothers, it is
simply because the grandmothers put so
much of their vitality, their physical
nerve and moral fibre, into their work
that they had but an insufficient quantity
left wherewithal to endow their children;
and so they wrought us evil.
"One would not willingly quarrel with
his grandmothers.. All agree in warding
them praise for heroic qualities. They
fought a good fight—perhaps the best they
could under the circumstances with their
light. We would gladly overlook all in
their lives that was defective and fasten
our eyes only on that which was noble.
But when their fault is distinctly pointed
out as their virtue, when their necessity
is exalted into our ensample, when their
narrowness is held up to our ambition, we
must say that it was fault and greed and
narrowness, grandmother or no grand
mother. Indeed, those excellent gentle
women no doubt long before this have
seen the error of their ways, and if they
could find voice would be the first to avow
that they did set most toogreat store by
chests of sheets, and bureaus of blankets,
and pillow cases of stockings, and stacks
of provisions. and that, if it were given
them to live their lives over again, they
would endeavor rather to lay up treasure
in the bodies and brains and hearts of
their children, where moth and mildew
do not corrupt, which time does not dis
sipate nor use destroy, and whereof we
stand in sorer need than of purple or scar
let or fine twined lined."
THE FAST SCHEDULE WEST
At thg meeting oC the 'Railroad Super
intendents on the P.d at Louisville, a fast
line was proposed from New Orleans to
New York, making but three stops be
tween Pittsburg and New York. and
three between Louisville and New Or
leans. The convention was small, and
adjourned to meet, on call, at Indianapo
lis.
The Pennsylvania Central has realized
part of this programme in its new fast
schedule. We returned this week from
Altoona, making but two stops, one at
Harrisburg, and one at Lancaster, soaking
runs of 130, 40 00 miles. This was the
Southern Express. The 12.30 P. M. fast
line westward stopped for water at
I'arkesburg, 44 miles; ran to Harrisburg.
30 miles; then to Altoona,l3o miles: then
to the top of the mountain at Galitzen.
miles; then to Pittsburg, 00 miles. Pe
turning, it stops at Galitzen, Altoona and
Harrisburg. On some of the long tan
gents it runs 43 miles an hour; but on the
rest of the road, under 40 miles; and it
makes time by avoiding stops. The
steadiness and smoothness of the move
ment is a great recommendation to weary
travellers.
The time now between Philadelphia and
Chicago is only twenty-six and a half (:.'.6! , )
hours, reaching Harrisburg at 3.57 (din
ner), Altoona, (supper), Pittsburg,
midnight, Chicago 3 The old rate
of 34 hours was considered fast traveling.
The average rate of speed is 30 miles an
hour. The _New York roads announced
that they would put their trains through
in thirty hours, instead of 30 to 40.

SAMSFACTZON WITiiIN T 1 LAW.
Our court record two days ago contain
ed an announcement of the divorce of a
well-known artist of this city, decreed at
his instance, for adultery of his wife with
one Jas. Whitney, a tenor singer and
teacher of vocal music. The story of this
man's baseness and its consequences, fol
lowing him from city to city, shutting all
good mens' doors against him, and closing
every avenue to honorable employment,
we have mentioned before. We have said
something also of the just and unalterable
resolution, followed up with so much per- '
sistent energy by the deceived lmsband, to
protect the community against this foe of
domestic purity and peace, by exposing
his crime whermr he sought refuge and
employment in his profession, and thus
making it impossible for him to use his
talents to provide opportunities for prac
ticing the arts of a libertine and seducer.
We have mentioned this as an instance
of a punishment more terrible to the
wrong-doer than death, and yet one that
the injured person may inflict without vi
olating the law, and which he may even
reasonably believe is demanded at his
hands by a proper regard for the purity of
society mid the safety of those whom the
treacherous assassin of virtue, if not un
masked, may make victims of his Inst.
The facts were, naturally enough, denied
by Whitney, who, as might have been ex
pected of such a wretch,souglit to retrieve
Lis ruined reputation by defaming the
luau whom he robbed of his wife, but these
facts are now established after a fair trial
on the spot where they occurred, and so
conclusively established that the counsel
who sought to dispute them had not even
so much of a case as would suffice for the
foundation of a plausible argument. The
wronged husband, if Ive are not mistaken,
will not vet abate any of the force of his
settled resolve that the transgressor shall
continue to feel the consequences of his
crime. Penitence, confession and amend
ment am the conditions on which 11C will
relax his vigilance, and aloes the repent
ant criminal to go in peace to find such
occupation for his powers as, with his
blasted reputation, may still lie possible.
LIMNING OF A RAILROAD TRAIN
List Tuesday evening's eastward-bound
passenger train on the West Wisconsin
Railroad met with a terrible catastrophe
while nearing Tomah. The woods in the
vicinity had been on fire for some time,
and a pile of :Lout five hundred hard oak
ties, seasoned two years,which were placed
along the track about twelve miles front
Tomah. were soon subject to the destruct
ive elements.
"Tie danger of the train," says the
Milwaukee _Vci'•.s, "was not apparent
until the engine had turned a curt• It short
distance from the lire in the road, and was
approaching on a down grade. The engi

but seeming that,this would stop in the
fire. he whistled 'off brakes,' and putting
en all steam possible determined to run
the gauntlet. The rails had been so bad
ly warped and the ties consumed that the
engine was soon thrown from the track,
bumping along on the ties until it was
finally brought to a halt, with the engine
and tender just through the fire, and a
ladies car at the other end of the train also
free. The engine and tender were imme
diately uncoupled and run out to a place
of safety, and the passenger car also dis
engaged and removed although not
before it was badly scorched and the
glass broken from the windows. The
rest of the train, consisting of one
baggage car, one second class and two
freight cars, was consumed.
`• Tile express messenger saved all of his
money packages, amounting to 52,000.
Tile mail agent, Curtis Parker, was able
to save nothing. There were live or six
ladies on the train, besides twenty-five
men, who are entitled to thanks for their
efforts in behalf of the train. The men
worked hard all night and at times they
were obliged to throw water on the backs
of the men to keep their clothes from

up in about fifteen minutes. The engine
was a heavy one, of thirty tons, and luck
ily escaped the fate of the cars.
THREE THOUSAND HOGS BOASTED ALIVE.
The stock-pens of Gaff's dstillery, in
Cincinnati, containing 4.500 hogs, were
burned on AVednesday morning. Three
thousand hogs were roasted to death. The
scene was said to have been as grand as it
was horrible. Grand columns of flame,
fed by the living fuel, shot upward thou
sands of feet.and rolled off in dense masses
of black smoke. The outcry of the fright

above the other into the corners of the

animals were gotten out in all, and the
rest of the 4,500 were literally broiled
alive. The odor of burned or roasted pork
pervaded the city for many blocks in all
directions after the fire died out for want
of fuel. The loss on live stock alone is
estimated at $60,000. The loss of the
buildings is estimated at from 525,000 to

THE BRIGHT LtunT.—Put the light un
der a bushel ? Nay, verily, no man would
ho so foolish ; for if the light is to be hid,
wby,not leave the candle unlighted ?, And
yet we have 'known people who have;
a bright light shining in their owt.. hearts,
who are so careful to hide it from others
that it never cheers any one but themselves.
I wonder why they do so, when there aro
so many in the world who are in darkness,
and, it may he, longing to see light. I wish
every one who has got that light, would
take off the bushel, and let it shine ou t
brightly; if they continue to hide it long, I
am afraid they will find it go out, and they
themselves be left in darkness. Now, I
am going to ask if you have got this light,
which as you well kn only the love of
Jesus can kindle; and if you have, are you
letting it shine, so that all that are in the
house can seo it ? Do you let it shine quiet
ly, and brightly, in attention to the wishes
of your parents, in obliging actions to your
brothers and sisters, iu obedience to your
teachers, in thoughtfulness for those depen
dent on you, so that all these can easily see
the light, and glorify, not you, hut Ulm
who kindled it?
If you do so, then the light will glow
brighter, and increase in usefulness, till
not only those in the house, but all who
enter it, shall see it, and, it may be, be
come induced to seek it for themselves.
Don't say your light is too feeble to do any
good ; the Lord uses small lights some
times to dispell great darkness." If your
light be a true one, it will always shine
brightest in your own homes; but don't
leave it there—carry it abroad with you,
and take it sometimes into the houses of the
poor, sorrowing ones ; when they look up
cheered almost in spite of themselves by
the brightness, tell them of Him who gave
it and keeps it burning, who bath said of
himself: " lam the light of the world: he
that followeth meshall not walk in dark
ness, but shall see the light of life."
Vice does not pay ; the sin is less sweat
than we fancied, an.' it costs more than we
bargained for.
Consolation heals without contact ; some

but to breathe.
Fon Pope's exquisite good sense take the

such an over-measure of deference and re
gard as answer to their own extravagant
false scale, and which nobody can pay, be
cause none but themselves can tell readily
to what pitch it amounts to." Thousands of
homes would be happy to-morrow if this
passage were written in letters of gold over
the mantle-piece, and offenders could have
the courage to apply it to themselves.
