" I love you, but I Khali not marry you." "And your reasons?" be asked, in a voice lliut trembled, despite big strong efforts to control it. fhe looked at him quietly, pityingly, and her answer rang through bis very soul. " Because yoo would make my life one long re reL Because, far in the years to oine, I foresee such utter degradation for you a would make the life of any woman mail enough to give iicr happi ness her fate to your keeping a life of such misery that the grave would be a welcome refuge." " Yoo love me, and you can say this to me?" " I could not have loved yoa had I dreamed of this before. As I ray, I will not lie untrue. I believed in you wuolly. I thought you the only one I had ever known who had touched my heart, who could awaken in me the love a woman gives but once in her life. I yielded my self gladly to the knowledge of this feel ing, for I could not mistake your man ner, your feelings to me. I saw my in fluence over you with none of the tri umph of a coquette, you well know, but with the quiet happiness of a woman who loves truly, entirely herself. But for the late knowledge that the futal cup, which has ruined thousands, and tens of thousand's is not strange to your lips, my heart would be wholly yours. " But Margaret, your influence has such power over me ; under it, what can I not conquer? Blessed with your love what might I not become?" The beautiful lips lost their firmness of expression, and quivered with strong ly expressed feeling. 4 1 have no faith in my power," Bhe said, sadly. "Cod only knows how in tensely I pity you, hut I should go mad if I were forced to pity my husband. I must esteem, respect, as well as love the man to whom I give control of all my foture." " Is there no hope for me?" he pas sionately exclaimed. " Are vou so cold, so hard, that you deny me all trial that yon refuse to believe for you I could con quer, would conquer, all that stood be tween me and my dearest hopes of earth ly happiness? Margaret! Margaret! no human creature but yourself can save me. If you refuse to listen to believe I care not w hat gulf bears me to obliv ion." " I dare not listen to you ; " and great tears rolled down her cheeks; "I dare not take upon myself such vows 11s bind our earthly fates, and feel in my heart bow entirely we shall 'yet be separated in all true union. I must say to you I have no faith in the. influence of any woman as opposed to the deadly infatu ation of one who indulges in the appetite for strong drink." "You condemn me, then to ruin ?" " I condemn you to ruin ! God forbid ! Hurry Norton, it all remains with your self. I cannot conceal from you that I think you have a hard battle before you in life. To conquer that appetite to de termine that you will not yield, and to abstain from all that tends to tempt to awaken desires for stimulants, no matter how weary, how worn you are with the struggle demands the strongest will the greatest self-sacrifice the prayerful spirit the Christian life. Are you capa b'eof all this? If you doubt yourself at all, in mercy never tempt a woman to share a drunkard's life to behold her self the mother of children who never know the beauty, the holiness, the pro tection of home. You think I exagger ate your faults. You do not know all that is burned as with the stamp of fire upon my memory. The years roll back, and I seea young, trusting, credulou girl, who knew neither herself nor her needs in life, wedded to a man whose earthly prospects seemed fairer than those of most men. But this girl, so innocent, lovely, and trusting, learned soon ah ! too soon that her whole life was sacri ficed to one whose taste for the accursed stimulus of liquor far exceeded his love for the woman he professed to adore. Year after year passed on, adding to this fatal taste additional strength. Xo cares ses of sweet-voiced, lovely little children no delights of home were half so dear to this man as the one infatuation of bis life. This girl, always mature in mind, and far his superior in nature, left no means untried io save him. She was very attractive in manner, conversation and person, and ail her attractions were put in force to save him, She concealed his habit of intemperance for years. She kept bis fan Its to herself. She never breathed anght against him. She up held bim, strengthened him, counseled j him. Was unvaryingly kind and worn-' SOIERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, anly to bim. If woman's iniinencecould have saved him, he would have been saved. I have seen her home taken from her. Her children and herself wandering from one place to another, as she could best earn their support ; and this man, seemingly dcToid of human feelings, leaving her to herown resources while wealthy relations cared for him. This woman was very neitr and dear to me, and nothing upon earth could in duce me to put myself in subj-ction to the possibility of such a fate, Yoa have my true friendship, tftyShest wishes for your welfare, my smcere prayers that you may conquer in is fiery trial, but I dare not give you more, trod onlv I knows how hanl this is for me to say to you. How willinjly I would share your fate in poverty, in any ordinary trial of life; but I dare not, for uiine own soul's sake, say I take your life, whatever it may be, foi mine. And so, Harry, let us speak of this no more." She held out her hand. He caugnt it. He drew her impulsively toward him He held her for an instant closely. " Margaret," he said, " let me kiss you once." And before she could reply, his bum- ma lips touched her pure, cool brow. " Good blcus you, Margaret, whatever becomes of me ! " In another instant he was gone. She passed through the garden walk, onto the pleasant porch, and stood a mo ment before the opori parlor window, where and old gentleman rested in an easy -chair. " It is a lovely night, father," she said "But I will go to my room, I believe. I am very weary to-night. Good night. " Good night, my daughter." And Margaret weut as utual with her stately step to her chamber door; but once within its solitude, and the proud, resolved spirit was bowed in bitter sor row. How the had lover, this nvn! And her whole frame shook with the sobs she dared not vent loudly, and the tears rained down the proud, beautiful face. .Must she thus condemn him, and was there no hope for him? He was a student of medicine, study ing of late with her father, and an eager, apt student. He had come into the quiet life of this girl as a bright sun beam. Hisquick, active intellect aroused her from the ordinary routine of her usual life. His tastes harmonized with herown, and she had given him her heart entire- iy- Then, one day, she learned that the fatal habit of stimulating his energies when exhausted by study or fatigue had become a necessity to him, and the in terview we have just related was the decision at which she had arrived. She was a girl of no ordinary character. Her clear, good sense, witlr the intimate knowledge of her friend's life, taught her to doubt the influence she could wield against th triumphal Juggernaut whose victims can never be numbered. Harry Norton left the village for the distractions of a life in a great city. Now and then news came of him as a clever, successful practitioncr,accompanied with doubtful surmises as to ceitain changes in his habits of life vague speeches, meaning, perhaps, much or little. Mar garet's life (lowed quietly on ; her father, yielding to the infirmities of old age, demanded her care and attention. I'er hrii close observers might detect a shade of sadness, now and then, in those clear gray eyes, but she was not one of those who live solely for their own pleasure, and no one in all the village was more relied tiou in sorrow or trouble as a kind sympathizer than she. ' A young clergyman who settled in the parish was soon observant of this strong, self-reliant nature this tender daughter and kind friend. Margaret was not doomed to live a solitary life. She found much to esteem in .Mr. Kluon, and at last in urn to love ; and one bright spring morning she stood w ith him at the vil lage aitar as his bride. As the entered the carriage a pacquet was given to her, and opening it, she lound a wedding gift a brooch formed of a large pure pearl, finely set, and a letter. The letter was as follows : Munjarri: You are a pearl among all others in my memory, and I l'g you to accept this symbol of yourself as a gift from an old friend. You were right, Margaret; no man, knowing himself a slave to intemperance, should ever tempt a woman to share its curse. What can I write you of my life? Only that there are times when I am mad when no reason remains to me and then I come out of this valley of the shadow of death and I see you, strong, pure, so far away from me, your words come back to me. and I know you were right when you choose to walk apart from one so un worthy. Do not believe that I do not struggle, but a power stronger than I controls me. I can rejoice ln your hap-J pi m as, and I k no that I was once bless ed with your love that my true self was once dear to you. But purity, rectitude, were dearer to yoa than aught else, and he w ho failed of these could not hold possession of your heart. That one worthy to be your guide, your staff through life has won you, awakens no selfish feeling in my heart. I have said that I can I do rejoice in your happi ness." Happy bri le though she was, tears filled her eyes. She pitied, him very tenderly, and pitied him all the more because of her own happiness. The years rolled quietly on with her ; children were given to her love and care. In the pleasant village home where her childish days were passed she lived the contented life of a happy wife and moth er. It was towards the close of a bright summer day that Mr. Eldon came slow ly up the garden-walk, and Margaret, hastening with tender welcome to greet him, saw at once, from his face, that he bore unwonted news. "Margaret," he said, "I wish you would come with me to see a dying man who wishes to bid you farewell. You have never forgotten Harry Norton. It is he." It was nt calmly she could think of the interview. Her hands trembled as she tied the strings of her bonnet ; tears filled her eyes, and she leaned heavily on the arm of ber husband as be related to her the story of his summons to the bouse where Harry Norton, feeling his L1U1 S C lb ESTABLISHED 1827. days were numbered, had come to bid her farewell to die. The setting sun was glorifying all things; the distant mountains and river were bathed in golden light. They en. tcred the chamber of the dying man The same golden atmosphere filled it ; from the open window came the soft summer air, the glad notes of singing birds. "You are good as ever, Margaret," Harry said, faintly, " to come, but I feit that if you wished me God speed, I migiit more safely cross the dark river. You cannot know no one can know but its victims the irresistible power of the disease which bears me to my grave. It is a disease a maihles with some and I have been one of those! fated ones. If I could say with supernatural power: Touch it not when first yon feel that ac cursed thirst, or you are lost ! But who will believe me? God alone knows." Long and tenderly Margaret and ber husband talked with him, lUtened pity ingly to his account of the struggles he had made so uselessly against what he believed firmly was a umiluess, and soothed and comforted by them he pass ed quietly, resignedly, nay, thankfully, into the other life, the "great beyond." Railroad Pension "and ance Funds. Insur- There ought to be connected with ev ery large railroad organization certain funds, contributed partly "by the company and partly by the voluntary action of employees, w hich would provide for hos pital service, retiring pensions, sick pen sions, and insurance against accident and death. Every man whose name has once been enrolled in the permanent em ploy of the company should be entitled to the benefit of these, funds ; and he should be deprived of it only by his own voluntary act, or as the consequence of same misdemeanor proved before a tri bunal. At present the railroad companies of this country are under no inducement toestablish these mutual insurance socie ties, or to contribute to them. Their service, in principle at least, is a shifting service ; and so long as it is shifting the elaborate organizations which are essen tial to the safe management of the funds referred to cannot be called into exis tence. A tie up, as it might be called, between the companies and their em ployees is a condition precedent. Were this once effected the rest would follow by steps, both natural and easy. For a company like the I'nion Pacific to con tribute $100100 a year to a hospital fund and retiring pension anil insurance asso ciations, would be a small matter, if tbe thing could be so arranged that the per manent employees themselves would contribute a like sum ; and permanent employees only would contribute at all. Once let the growth of associations like these begin, and it proceeds with almost stattling rapidity. At. the end of ten years the accumulated capital on the basis of contribution suggested would probably amount to millions. Every man who was so fortunate as to become a permanent employee of the compuny would then be assured of provision in case of sickness or disability, and his family would be assured of il iu case of his death. IScriltitrr't Majuzinr fur April. Rat And Mocking Bird. A Louisville special to the N'evr York Sun says: "lr. L. L. Butts, of the Way t Dental company, of this city, has a white mocking bird, a species remarkable for its rarity. Oa Wednesday afternoon the Doctor had been feeding his pet aud left the cage on the floor with the door open. The bird was in the cage pecking at some seeds when a large rat entered, evidently intending to make a supper of its occu pant. The bird could have easily escaped through the open door, but it was evi dently not averse to battle and flew straight at the rat. "A spirited combat, witnessed by Dr. Wayt and t. friend, ensued. The bird Iounced upon the rat ami evked at its eyes. The rat bit at the bird, but the latter was so active that the rat succeed ed only in nipping the ends of its feath ers. The birds point of attack was al ways the eyes of the rat, and it soon had the lodent's face covered with blood. The rat finally endeavored to escape fro'ii the cage, but was so blinded that he ran against tae wire work several times before he found the door. Bat having reached the outside, he was too much weakened to dash off, and was followed by the bird, which soon peck ed both eyes out, and did not cease its warfare until the rat tumbled over dead.'' Early Tomatoes. Here is a point for tomato raisers. At the New York Agricultural Station ex periments made in growing tomatoes without transplanting proved very suc- sticcessful. Plants grown entirely in the open ground matured fruit in twenty-five days' shorter time than those which were cared for in the hot bed the first two or three months of their existence. The result, according to the report, is certain ly striking, and suggests that the check given to plants at the time of transplant ing may have been nearly sul&cient to overbalance all the time gained by forc ing. Expert cultivators say that their earliest tomatoes come from self-grown plants where tomatoes were raised the previous year and some of the first rotted on the ground. Card of Thanks.

The Cost of Ocean Steamships. An order for a new ship of the class required to compete in the modern pas senger service of the Atlantic is not by any means a matter to be determined on without grave consideration. Speed is costly, and as you increase it, it is gener ally necessary to also increase the ton nage. This forces upon your considera tion tides, channels, harber-bars, and dor k accommodations, all of w hich im pose limitations upon you. And then the cost of the ship herself is not a matter which even the wealthiest of corpora tions can provide for at a moment's no tice ; it is not one hundred thousand dol lars, nor five hundred thousand dollar! that the work calls for, but aliout five times the latter sum, for it is safe to say that a vessel snperior to the City of New York or the Etruria could not be built for leas than two million and a half of dollars. Sometimes the ship-builders are willing to become part owners of the projected vessel ; sometimes they take as part pay ment for the work some older vessels of the line, which they relit, re-engine, modernize, and sell again. The ability of the builders to make an arrangement of this kind, of course, influences the placing of the contract, in a measure, but they must also he able to give certain guarantees. They must enter into an en gagement that the projected ship shall be able to carry so many passengers aud so many tons of cargo, and to attain a spec ified speed ou a given consumption of coal per day. Let us say, for instance, that the stipulations are these: Accom modations for tiOO saloon passengers, 150 intermediate passengers,' and 1,"00 steer age passengers; registered tonmige, 00(H); speed, 10 knots on a consumption of o00 tons per day. If the lhip fails to fulfill these conditions the builders agree to forfeit a part of the amount they would otherwise receive for her, or they m:iy be compelled to take her back altogether. This was the caRe w ith the City of Rome, which was built for the Inuian line by the Barrow Ship-building Company. Scribuer't for Ajtril. Women at Work. In the general assumption of occupa tions by women now going on, although they become doctors and lawyers anil shopkeepers and accountants, and occupy various trades, not much has been said of the possibility of their becoming up holsterers. But it strikes us that few l't ter fields are open to tlie woman w ho works with her hands, and who has a little strength and a good deal of knock, thaa this affords. We do not intend by this the original manufacture of the fur niture, although with the different parts of the articles completed by machinery as they are now we hardly know why women may not put them together as easily as men ; but w mean thestulling, covering, tufting and edging of chairs, sofas, lounges, tetes-a-tetes and the like. There is nothing surpassing the strength or possible skill and dexterity of women that is concerned in the fixing of the springs in their places, or in distributing the hair or moss which is to soften the springs, and to which they are to lend buoyancy ; the long upholstery needles and twine can lie used just as easily by a woman's Enters as a man's in the tufting and buttoning: while it wants only prac tice and deftness to dispose of the edges of the coverings and to hide the disposi tion according to the upholsterer's fash ion, either under the overhanging pulf. the cord, or the grip. If it n not very choice work, it is not to lie classed either as dirty work ; it is not in the least disa greeable as work goes ; and if one must work, and is not beyond the handicrafts, j it is one of the most rational and simple to undertake. It is not, moreover, nec essary that this work should bo done in shops and establishments, and unless one already has rooms and prefers it to he brought to them, it requires no outlay of rent or heat. For some time them have been women in the large cities w ho go about by ihe day to make the chintz or linen coverings for niev furniture, tak ing the measurements, fitting ami cutting the stuff to the sofa or chair as a dress maker fits and cut', taking it off and fin idling it, the whole thing done as deftly and looking as neat as if done at a fash ionable establishment at several times the cost. In the same way women -ould, if tiiey would, go about from house to house, as desiifcd, being paid by the day, and in smie spare room of the house or one cleared for the puriose, or in war n weather on some back piazza or screened veranda, where dust will not injure the article to bo renewed, restuffed, respring ed or re-covered, take the article apart, attend to it, and put it together again, the whole performance requiring no oth er skill or knowledge than that requisite to the putting in of a few screws, the driving of a few tacks, and seldom any more strength than the woman under taking the task would lie likely to pos sess, than all of our housemaids accus tomed to the moving of furniture on sweeping days, or to the taking down and putting up of bedsteads, are well known to possess. And meanwhile, on the score of economy to the employer and of income to the workingmen, the advantages are beyond dispute. ILirjttr't Bmar. Rats and Lead Pipe. I was talking to a well known plummer a few days ago and he surprised me by saying there was a fortune awaiting the inventive genius who would get up a poi sonous preparation with which to coat lead pipe in residences. "Fully one-half of the unexplained cases of burst or leaking pipes," he said, "are due to rats and not flaws in the ma terial. You take a well cemented base ment, as nearly vermin proof as is possi ble to make it, and the annoyance from rats will be greater than in one that is not vermin proof, for being unable to find jrater. they are driven frantic by the sound of it running through the pipes, and they proceed to eat their way thro, to it. A rat can make a hole in a soft lead pipe in a very little time. The only preventive that I know of would be to coat the pipe with a poison that would kill the rat as soon as began to eat his way through." Esrhnny. More than CO per cent, of adult Eng lish women, married and unmarried, are working for daily substance, and the number multiplies every year. W Feeding Value of Buttermilk Whiie calves should never lie given any sour feed, and should lie fed only upon sweet tkimmed-milk wanned to eighty degrees, the sour mi'.k and but ter milk will be vert- useful to the pig. Many useful experiments have been made in feeding pigs upon thc-sn kinds of milk with cnrnuejal, which together make the m;.Jt- profitable f.-eding iu every way for these animals, furnishing a meat well mixl w ith lean and having hard firm fat. It has been supposed that buttermilk is not so nutritious as is sweet milk, but experience and experiment do not eonlinn this belief, i i the contrary buttermilk has nude slightly cheaper pork than sweet skimm-d iialk. Cer tainly the piirs stem to favor the sour food ratiier than tho swert. It may lie that the lactic acid of t ie milk is an ai l to digestion.

Atturictn A'jrt'-uUurtAf. Two Splendid Nominations. The New York .Vo-V mi'l Unirra says that the appointment of Joel B. Ehrhardt as Collector of this Port is one that could not fail to give universal satisfaction. As regards all the many qualifications that are most desirable and important, the appointment is as nearly an ideal one as any President ever made. As regards his character and official record, the lost cam paign fur the Mayoralty showed that even partisan enmity had to yield a trib ute of sincere and unqualified admiration for Col. Ehrhardt. The Collector of this port comes next in imxrtance to the Secretary of the Treasury, and Col. Ehr hard will bring to the ollice Iresn dignity and new importance. It was natural and inevitable that any Republican successor to Postmaster Pear son would be exp xsisl to tlie criticisms, if not the abuse, of the Mugw umps. But Postmaster Yau Cott is a universal Iie publicau favorite, and he has fairly enrn el his popularity. He has always erjoy ed the confidence and the respect both of the party leaders und of the rank and tile. His ability has been demonstrated, his record is honorable and unso!ted.

In the . iety of London Mr. Bright was uni jue figure. Needless to say he necr was a msn of fashion.- There was a long riod during whk'h the world of fashion hid I aloof from him.

He was asked often to all sorts of houses and to all sorts of en tertainments. While breakfasts were the fishion he went to breakfasts. I think your friend, Mr. Joseph Choate, of New York, will remember meeting him at j breakfast aud walking home with him across Hyde Park Mr. Bright, I know, rememiwMed Mr. Choate, and asked about liiiu more than once afterward ; he was harmed with the American's manner ! quarter to eiirnt, while his hostess was putting the last touches to her toilet. His habit had this advantage, that he could hear the names of the guests as they were announced at the door of the drawing-room. If he did not hear, or if j any one came in whom he did not know I he used to iiiterro.rite the friend nearest him eagerly, " Who is that?" And if he failed to reconia) the name, " Who is she ? Tell me something alout her." To mere conven'ionalites he paid but scant respect. It was his habit to wear a black velvet waistcoat long after other people had ceased to wear them. I cannot re member ever to haveseen one in Lmdon except his. It did not matter what he wore. There was no truer gentleman in the company a phrase which is detesta ble, but Ills a meaning not easy to ex press briefly otherwise. There was no courtiier personage than this (Quaker, and none whose manners were more per fect. r.Kiit king a rnixi tss. He preserved his seriousness of thought in the most frivolous society. Nobody had more humor or lightness iu hand, but if the subject was serious or interest ed him deeply he said his say seriously, or, as iia-lhe story I am going to tell you, Iwire his testimony unflinchingly. In the days of Mr. iiadst ine'searlier unpopular ity for society bad prejudices against him longls-fore betook Home Rule in hand Mr. Bright was once dining at the same table with a certain princess. Her U iy.il Highness made a remark dispar aging to the Liberal leader. Mr. Bright turned to her gravely : " May I ask you, ma'am, have you any children?'' " Yes; why do you ask?" " Let me beg you, ma'am, to take them at the first opiorttin;ty where they may see Mr. Gladstone. When they see him, say to them that he is tha Englishman to whom G id has permitted to do greater service to his country than almost any other in his lime." fr. IF. S,wdkij in X. Take Care of the Eyes. In families where there is much sew- in to lie done, says a w riter in tlie Bs- ton Ton fi r, it is a good plan to have the bulk of work on daru and colored goods done by daylight, rwrvimr the while j sewing for the evening in order to save the eves. Lite the other bodily organs ! thev will retain their Lowers much Ion j per if properly treated. John luincy Adams never used glasses, even in ex- I treme obi age, slid he attributed his re markable eyesight to the habit of gently manipulating the eyelids with the fin gers, rubbing toward the nose. This may be only a partial explanation of the strength of the vi.-ual organs, but that tort of friction is undoubtedly excellent. Reading at twilight, or lying down, or by a psir artificial light, or on an empty stomach, ought always to be avoided. The use of veils, also particularly the spotted lace variety now so commonly worn by women, cannot be too strongly condemned. Permanent injury to the eyesight has often resulted from wearing them, as well as heavy crape veils. Oc- i casionailv on a verv windy dav, or for - J person in delicate health, a thin veil may serve a good purpuse, but as a rule they are pernicious. A little salt added to tepid water makes a very strengthening wash for the eves. Senator Evarts has a world wide repu tation as a lawyer, and as a legislator he is credited with being remarkably able, while, as a humorist, he bids fair to be come a rival of such eminent men as Bill Nye and Eugene Field. The senior Senator from New York was talking on the floor of the Senate with Senators Ed munds and Palmer, and the Yermonter, looking critically at the apparently frail I physical representative of the Eaipire State, said : "I don't see, E.-irts, how you stand all this hard work an I the endless round of j sx ial dunes, n hy, it must tie a terrible drain upon you -imply to diink the dif- . .

Il makes no difference who we are. We have fifty well-armed men around this barn, and you cannt make your rot-ape." There was a momentary pau-v, when Bisith said, despondingiy : " Captain, this is a hard case, I swear ! I am lame. Give me a chance. Draw up your mea twenty yards from the door and I will come iMit and fight your whole command." " We are not here to fight," replied Ba ker, " but to take you. You are now free tj surrender." " Give me a little time to consider, urg ed Booth. " Very well ; you can have two min utes. " Booth was quiet until the time had nearly elapsed. Then he saiJ, eutrcat ingly : "Captain, I believe yen to be a bravj and honorable man. 1 have hd half a dozen opportunities to shoot you, and I have a bead drawn on you now, but I do not wish to do iL Withdraw your men tro:n the door, aud I will couio uuL love me this chance for my iife. Captain, for 1 will not be taken alive." Your time is up," was the griui re ply. We shall wait no longer. We shall tire the barn." The theatrical instinct was still strong in the murderer. In a stagey tone, he exclaimed : " Well, my brave boys, you can prepare a stretcher for me, then . And alter a slight pause, the listening oilier heard him mutter: "One more slain on the glomus old banner!" Colonel Conger ignighted a niati h on bis side of the barn and lighted the corn leaves that protruded through a crack. As they flamed up Lieutenant Baker swung oen the door and looked in. Booth seemed to lie leaning against the mow, but was crouched as though in the act of springing forward. His crutches were under his arms, and his carbine in his bands. His appearance indicated that he intended to jump toward the fire nnd shoot the man who had lighted it. But the sudden glare blinded him. The flames swept np to the roof, rolled across and to the floor below. He was a picture of Apollo in a frame of fire. Booth stood under an arch cf flame, leaping, rolling and hissing, as in mockery of his misery. His only hope now was to make a dash for the door and run the gauntlet of the cordon of soldiers. Suddenly he dropped his remaining crutch, threw down the carbine, and sprang forward. Then sounded the pisto of Boston Cor bett, the man President Lincoln had par doned when once sentenced to be shot, for remissness on guard duty, and Booth fell forward on his face. Lieut. Baker sprang upon him and caught the nerve- les arms. It was unnecessary. The shot had paralied him below the wound, and all save the fertile brain and fluttering heart and lungs were already dead. The assassin was carries 1 irotn the hern ami laid under an apple tree out of reach of the flames. Presently he opened his eyes and apieared to realize his condition. In a painful whisper, he said : "Tell moth er, tell mother. Then he became unconscious again. The heat of the burning barn liecame in tolerable under the tree, and he was re moved to the piazza. A cloth wet with brandy aud water was placed between his Iiis, and at length he revived again. His eyes looked with dumb appeai into the faces of those about him. " Oh, kill me ; kill me quick," he whis pered bitterly. Another lapse into unconsciousness and it seemed impossible that he could revive again, but just before sunrise there was a brightening of the stunned brain. As he revivived he put out his tongue, and j Lieutenant Baker, thinking he wanted to I know if there was blood in his mouth, J told him there was none, "Tell mother I die for my country," ' Booth g.tsied to the ollicer. "I did what ' I thought was best." Baker lifted one of his nerveless hands. It fell back by his side again. " I'stless, useless," murmured Booth. These were the last words. The road to Strinestown. No one wonders now why York coun ty produces so many great men. Two elderly men were discussing re ligious topics. The one was a church man ; the other was not mt much so. This made the discussion all the more inter esting. At last the wicked-man tried to illustrate his argument by a story of what had happened in the vicinity where both had formerly resided. He said "You know the sheep bridge over the Conewago near Strinestown '!" "Yes?" "Well once a boy was driving in to a pasture field ou the side of the bridge. A preacher came along and in quired of the by the way to Mrinestowu. The boy said he lived near there and if the minister would wait until he drove the cows into the field, ho would go along with him. They rode ou together. The minister began to question the boy. "Iv yon go to Sunday School he asked. "Sunday Sch.jol ! What's that T 'What do you work at?' the minister asked. Oh ! work around the house, and drive the cows.' Then the boy took his turn at asking questions. 'What do yon work at? 'Oh ! I'm a preacher.' 'A preacher ! What's that V 'Why, I go around aud show the peo ple the way to heaven.' 'Gjod Lord ! said the boy, you show per pie the road to heaven, and don't kno the road to Strinestown '." The story had the desired effect ; but it was only an old story revised to suit the occasion. The Care of the Nails. Very few people know how to properly rare for the nails. In cleaning them a sharp knife ought never to be employed, but between the ends of the nails and the fingers the space should be filled with soap, and then this lie removed by brushing with the so-called nail-brush. Many improperly cut awsy that part of the flesh which grows over the nail from the bottom ; but it should simply lie pressed back sufficiently to show the white part, considered by some to be a mark of beauty. If the flesh U adherent to the nail, the operation may be facili tates! by passing the sharp point of a knife underneath the fold of flesh, sepa rating it from its attachments. With this done it can lie pushed back more readily. Scissors should never be used to cut the nails; that should be done only with a sharp penknife.
