pother pone! Alas, one more
Deluded by a v.-onian'a trickl
Another stalwnrt bachelor
To figure as a Benidick!
"A marriage," yp.-, "has been arranged
Bttween iliss Blank and" yes, and Harry!
My -well loved friend, you must have changed
You, of all men alive, to marry!
At Cambridge, on debating nighte,
Brown and yourself shone in the lists
As valiant foes of "woman's rights,"
A pair of stanch misogynists.
How valueless your speeches prove!
Brown, too, I understand, is fated
To make, like you. the deadly move
Which lose: all, by which you're mated.
But, though I mourn for you, my friend,
My feans arc not for you alone.
This fall of yours, does it portend
A like disaster of my own?
Is love a brief insanity
Which seizes all of us? Shall no men
Escape its ravagcw? Shall I
Becomo a lover? Absitomen!
Oh, Maud or Muriel or Kate!
Your name, from force of circumstance,
I cannot definitely state.
Let me entreat you in advance!
Oh, unknown maid whom I shail woo,
Let me put forward my petition
- Before you have reduced mo to
A scmi'imbuoilu condition.
When, on Fomc fragrant summer eve,
I vow that you arc quite divine
And ask you simply to believe
There never w.s such lovo a3 mino,
Despise such platitudes as those.
From ray demented self protect me,
And, if I finally propose,
Be kind, be generous and reject me!

A SHEPLASTER.
I am a 25 cent greenback, and for all
I know may be one of the unredeemed,
but I have had such varied experiences
and -was able to do so much good the
day Eiclunond was evacuated I feel I
must tell about it, for I was as much a
subject of dispute in my day as gold and
silver and bonds are now. I was pout
forth fresh and crisp from Yfashington
to a paymaster in (he Army of the Po
tomac on the Virginia peninsula, and
he delivered me, :Jcng with n lot of
larger notes, to a captain of the Fifth
Pennsylvania cavalry.
The captain placed the big notes in a
letter which ho wrote to his wife a
sweet, loving letter in which lie told
her he was going the next day on a
raid up the peninsula, and that if all
went well he might sleep in Richmond;
that she must ke ep up a brave heart and
that he -would be home soon. When he
sealed this letter, I saw tho muscles cf
his mouth twitch and his bravo blue
eyes moisten, and I snuggled up within,
for I knew the bravest vcro the tcudcr
cst, aiid he was wishing that he could
go with that letter.
But there were no braver men in the
war than the Pennsylvania's, and I
knew that, live or die, he would be
game and do what was right.
The nest morning we started off and
got along vciy well until about
miles beyond "Williamsburg, and just at
.the fori; of the reads we were attacked
by the advance guard of Shinglor's
South Carolina cavalry. We had only 40
men in our party, and tho rebels wero
numerous. The captain saw he had bet
ter retire, so he turned his horse, order
ed a retreat, and the men threw their
guns over their shoulders and dashed
down the road, firing as they retreated
"We went into a new position, behind
the college walls tho college had been
burned and as the hot lead spat tcrc.l
against tho old English bricks I shuci
dered, and every time theptatue cf Lord
Botetourt was hit I felt as if everything
sacred was being desecrated, and I could
almost hear the British lion growl.
"While I was made for circulation I was
based on protection, and when charges
wero made against me I feared I would
be ground into pulp before I was with
drawn. Our enemies were re-enferced, and
my captain, seeing discretion was the
better part of valor, again retired and
dashed down the main street. Before
he had gone two squares a bayonet was
thrust through his thigh, and he was
made prisoner. In a very short time I
was exchanged for a bng cf tobacco and
became an ally and associate of armed
rebellion. A shinplastcr has no affec
tions or attachments, you know.
I was put in what was called a pocket
by my rebel owner, but it seemed to me
like a rag bag. I was so frightened I
thought I would die and was sure I
would never smile again, but that night
I laughed myself sick at the ludicrous
and hairbreadth escape of my new
friend.
Ho was worn out with excitement of
the day, and as he passed a house by the
college, just across from the president's
house, ono of his friends asked him in,
pointed to a feather bed on the floor,
and he sank down in it and slept as
only a Confederate soldier could, for he
had not seen a bed of any kind for so
long. He w:is in high feather at his
good fortune. Ho was too tired to
dream. I was awake, studying my new
surroundings. Suddenly a fricudly
hand shook him up and said, "You are
caught." He crept to the window, pull
ed the curtain aside, and there, sure
enough, wero my friends of the Fifth
Pennsylvania cavalry.
If ever my Union soul longed for a
voice, it was then. He could have put
his hand on them. Ho double quicked
into his clothes and buttoned me up
against his heart, which was going faster
than a weaver's shuttle. It was a bril
liant moonlight night in April. He had
put his horse in an open shed and pushed
a cart in front of it to keep him from
getting away. He realized his danger
and the absolute necessity for quiet.
Just as he stealthily entered the shed
a calf ran between his legs and bellowed
as only a calf can and tlirew him over on
the cart. 4 Well, ' ' thought I, " I will now
be back with the Fifth Pennsylvania
cavalry." He clutched at the horse,
jumped on his back, dug his spurs in its
side and dashed down the road I had
been over twice before. The bit was out
of the horse's mouth, and he was going
like John Gilpin and no possible way
for the rider to control his horse right
to the Confederate pickets, who had or
ders to shcot any and all cavalry com
ing down that road. After great yelling
he made himself lniown to the guards,
and he never stopped till the horse got
to the camp:
I was presented to his sister, and then
I was taken to tho parlor in Richmond
and put in something I had never heard
of before a glory pitcher. I had great
curiosity to know what a glory pitcher
svas. Day and night I kept my ears open
to try to find out, and on the Fourth of
July I did, for they took me out and
filled the pitcher with punch and drank
General George Washington's health,
find I heard them say that when General
"Washington died these pitchers wero
made of china, with a picture of Gen
erally ashington being taken up tojjlory
on their "sides. 'Every 22d of "February
and Fourth of July they were used for
punch. If I had been sound money, I
would have known that a sister cf the
poet Longfellow, Mrs. Pearce of Port
land, Me., had one of these pitchers,
but I was of mushroom growth kne-w
nothing of traditions and really very lit
tle about myself.
Well, I remained a prisoner in soli
tary confinement in Richmond until
evacuation day came. It was Sunday,
and heaven seemed to give one grand,
glorious smile to the last day of the
Confederacy. A smile liko a martyr
wears on his dying face, and nature,
every tree sad flower, was bursting
with green leaf and blossom, struggling
to be free, and I thought the tearful
eyes of my dear ladies should take com
fort and remember that they, too, had
been prison bound and now wero free
ing themselves.
I had grown to love the lady in
whose care I had been, she was so pure
and brave, and I became unhappy lest
some evil should befall her and her lit
tle children. I saw her kiss her husband
goodby and saw her hand her jewels
and valuables to an old slave, who
promised to do his best to protect her.
In a short time the city was in flames,
the water cut off, the gashouse destroy
ed, and darkness reigned Tho streets
were full of Union soldiers and army
followers, and the desolation of that
house was beyond anything I can de
scribe. Suddenly I heard my friends coming
down stairs, and I felt my dear lady's
soft white hand pick mo up from the
glory jar, smooth me out, and, calling
Uncle Harry, a faithful old slave, she
said: "Uncle Harry, this shinplaster
came from a fight in Williamsburg.
Richard gave it to me, and I have kept
it all this while. I see they have estab
lished a sutler's store across the way. If
you aro not afraid, go and see if it will
buy me some candles, for if it will we
will not be quite so forlorn. "
Uncle Harry grabbed me with his big
old black hand and said: "God knows,
Miss Mary, you always was good, and
God gwino to take caro of you and
yourn and wo and us. Afeerd? I ain't
gwine to come back 'dout dem caudles,
Bcnsiu dey hain't got none. " And ho
brought back three, and the light they
shed was like the glory of God a light
in a dark place.
She lit one and made a patrol cf the
house from garret to cellar, under tho
beds and in the closets; would blow it
out and in a few hours rcconnoiter again
for when they were gone, where
would any more come from? But she
knew that "unto the upright there
ariseth light in tho darkness." and her
beautiful faith sustained her. I was in
the sutler 'p shop back in the Union
lines, and I missed my glory pitcher and
all the exciting news I used to heai
from the doctor and the generals and
my gay young lady. Although fair ex
change is no robbery, J. felt jealous and
injured.
Shortly after this I retired from busi
ness a small boy put a mustache on
tho face of the statesman who adorns
me, a drummer pasted mo on the inside
of his desk, and after a brief and event
ful career I was sponged off, and I now
lie in a cabinet of curiosities, not caring

The Woman In Black.
One of the most familiar characters
to be seen dail," about tho city hall and
park is a pretty, sweet voiced, gentle
mannered little wcraau, apparently
about iio years old. She is known by all
denizens and frequenters of tho city hall
as the Woman In Black. She has arriv
ed promptly a littlo after 9 every work
ing day for four years. Her husband is
employed in tho department of public
works, in a neighboring building, and
regularly every morning the two togeth
er leave their heme in an uptown street.
She accompanies him to the elevator in
the building where ho is employed, ride3
to the tcp, pees with him to the office
door and eccp. him remove his coat and
hat. Then she goes to tho city hall,
where she remains until noon, when she
goes to the door of his office building
and accompanies him back to tho city
hall, where, either in corridor or jury
room, they cat their lunch. After lunch
the programme of tho morning is repeat
ed, she waiting at his office door until
his coat and hat have been removed,
when she again returns to the city hall.
At 4 o'clock they meet at tho door cf
the offico building, and she accompanies
him home, .hcro it seems reasonable
to conclude that they allow no separa
tion to occur. "It is but. one of tho in
explicable freaks which distinguish hu
man nature," said ono of the city hall
officials. "It is hard to understand how
a woman can afford in this busy world
to spend every day in the week and all
day waiting for her husband." New
York Tribune.
A Judicial Mot.
Tho best judicial mot ever recorded is
that of Sir George Jessel, tho Into mas
ter of the rolls, when sitting with Mr.
Justice Bacon. A demoted and enraged
suitor who had been unsuccessful threw
an egg at him in the corridor of tho
conrts whiah narrowly missed tho
judge's head. Smilingly Sir George
turned round and calmly remarked to
tho astonished bystanders, "I think that
must have been intended for my brother
Bacon."
A Mathematician.
"You mustn't detain me," said the
man who was hurrying down the ave
nue. "My time is valuable. "
"Do ye reckon thet five minutes of
yer timo is worth 25 cents?" asked
Meandering Mike, quickening his pace
so as to keep in step.
"Assuredly."
"Well, I was goin:ter give ye a hard
luck story thet 'n'd last five minutes ex
actly. I've timed it ter run jes' thet
long. But cf ye'll gimme the 20 cents
change I'll let ye off with one minute,

A Valinnt Invalid.
Huron county, O., 25 years ago boast
ed a resident named Jedediah Cronce,
one of those hale invalids who sit all
day at south windows, reading while
their wives uo tho work.
One day Jedediah grew querulous.
He had "such a distress" iu his stom
ach. Nothing solid or liquid relieved
him, but when the hollow eyed wife
suggested apple dumplings he folded
his hands resignedly and sighed On
the strength of that sigh Mrs. Cronce
prepared 12 large and luscious dump
lings. With much complaint the suffering
4 farmer drew his chair to the board, tuck
ed a napkin under his chin, and after
a fault finding grace attacked the
dumplings, brown and steaming. One
by one they disappeared, with hungry
eyed little Sammy looking on, too wise
to ask for a portion. As he saw the
eleventh sent below to mitigate his
sire's "distress" he slipped from his
chair and sidled around the table to
where the invalid sat.
"Papa," ho pleaded, "can't we have
jus' one apple dumpliu?"
The old man waved his hand
"Run away, child. Papa's sick."

Department Stores.
Department stores have advanced for
tunately in both the quality of the goods
sold and tho amount of the sales. The
business of several amounts annually to
from .$7,500,000 to $15,000,000, and
this, roughly speaking, is as much mon
ey as many a prosperous railway 1,000
miles long handles in a twelvemontli.
One great store in the west carries a
rent account of almost if not quite 400,
000 a year. The mail crder business of
another amounts to $900,000 a year. A
number of Louses send to tho homes of
their customers more than 20,000 pack
ages in a single day, while perhaps as
many more are carried away in the
hands of the shoppers. In the busiest
days quite 100,000 persons have visited
each of the very largest stores of Nev
York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Brook
lyn. Ono firm spends more than $o00,
000 a year for advertising, and single
departments in several stores sell more
than $2,000,000 worth of goods annual

ner's. Occupation end Health.
"Thero are occupations which men
do not shun as they do work in a- gas
house, " said a life insurance examiner,
"which we consider far more hazardous.
You will be more likely to find old men
in a gashouse men who have worked
in the business for many years than in
a brewery. In tho brewery men look
robust and strong. They have every ex
ternal appearance of health and would
be looked upon by the average man as
'good risks. ' But the fact that one rare
ly sees an old man in the business shows
that tho calling, coupled with the hab
its which it creates, has a tendency to
shorten life. Tho iron worker is anoth
er who is a less good risk than tho gas
man if all other things are equal. The
fine particles of metal which find their
way into his breathing apparatus have
an effect on his lungs, and strong men
in that calling frequently develop pul
monary consumption. In fact, all trades
and occupations which require working
in dust are detrimental to loagevity and
will kill much more quickly than work

"The portraits of Rousseau and Hume
are historic. Beth were executed iu
17G6, tho year of that absurd misunder
standing between the self tormentor and
his guide, philosopher and friend, over
which so much eighteenth century ink
was spilled. They must have been paint
ed shortly after the arrival of tho pair

Rousseau was apparently interrupted
by the quarrel, since it is asserted that
he refused to continue the sittings, and
the portrait, iu which ho wears the
American dress he had recently adopt
ed, is supposed to have been finished
from such furtive glimpses of him as
could be obtained in public. That of

The Care of Clothing.
"Always shake, brush and fold your
clothes at night," is Walter Germain's
advice to men in The Ladies' Home Jour

Trousers should be folded by putting the
two waist buttons together and preserv
ing the crease. Fold lengthwise and
then double. Coats are folded length
wise, the sleeves in half first, then each
half of the coat to the sleeve line, then
the two remaining halves, the lining be
ing on the outside. Waistcoats are fold
ed in half, lengthwise. Never lounge
about your room in your clothes noth
ing destroys them s0 much. When you
come in during tho aftemcon or at
night, remove your coat, waistcoat and
trousers and put on a bath rote if yon
are to remain in your room for any time.
Always have an old coat at the office. "

Emeraoti'n Wit and Humor.
There never could be born a man es
sentially great who did not liko to laugh
or to make at least others smile. Even
Schopenhauer and Nietzcho could crack
their grim jokes. There is nothing in
compatible in that drollery which Em
erson at times indulged in. Iu The Fo
rum llr. Henry D. Lloyd thus descants
on Emerson:
A pleasantry recorded of him is a
story ho told of a friend who carried a
horsechestnut to protect him from rheu
matism. "He has never had it since
he began to carry it, and indeed it ap
pears to have had a retrospective opera
tion, for he never had it before." An
English friend tells me that while with
Mr. Emerson in his garden discussing
some problem of life Mrs. Emerson call
ed to him fa" "ome wood Emerson went
to the wood pile. When he came back,
he said, with his wonderful smile,
"Now, we will return to tho real
things."
When Oliver Wendell Holmes asked
him if he had any manual dexterity, he
illustrated his want of it by replying
that he could split a shingle four ways
with one nail, "which," says Dr.
Holmes, "as tho intention is not to
split it at all in fastening it to the roof,
I took to be a confession of inaptitude
for mechanical work " In later years
he lost his memory of the names of
things. Once he wanted his umbrella,
but could not recall the word But he
got around the difficulty. "I can't toll
its name, but I can tell its history.
Strangers take it away." His daughter
ran in one day to ask who should be in
vited to join their berry picking party.
"All the children," he said, "from 6
years to GO."
St. Nicholas Day In Holland.
In some houses tho little children who
go to bed early put out their shoes and
stockings and find them crammed with
presents in the moniing. Others have
to play a game of hide and seek for
their presents, which the father and
mother have hidden in the most myste
rious manner and in out of the way
places. In a great many families, how
ever, Dec. 5 is celebrated by sending
and receiving parcels in tho evening of
that day. "Parcels" must be taken here
in a very broad sense. The servant who
has to answer tho tell is obliged to
bring iu whatever is put into her hands
or before her and consequently is often
heard to giggle behind the dcor of the
room in which tho whole family is as
sembled. Then in walks nay, is put
a most extraordinary looking gentleman
or an old lady or a queer animal, con
sisting chiefly of wcod or of linen filled
with sawdust, in which the present,
sometimes one of very small dimen
sions, lies concealed Funny little
rhymes often accompany the parcels,
and generally much good natured teas
ing is contained iu tho poetical lines.
The patience of some peoplo is often
sorely tried by a parcel consisting of a
big ball of very fine cotton, which has
to be unwound to get at the present.

Emerson3 "American Scholar."
Emerson has left behind him nothing
stronger than this address, "The Amer
ican Scholar. " It was the first applica
tion of his views to the events of his
day, written and delivered iu the heat
of early manhood while his extraordi
nary powers were at .their height. It
moves with a logical progression, of
which he rcon lost the habit. The sub
ject of it the scholar's relation to the
world was the passion of his life. The
body of his belief is to be found in this
address, aud in any adequate account
of him the whole address ought to be
given.
Dr. Holmes called this speech of Em
erson's onr "Intellectual Declaration of
Independence," and indeed it was.
"The Phi Beta Kappa speech," says
Mr. Lowell, "was an event without any
former parallel in our literary annals,
a scene always to bo treasured in the
memory for its piclnresqueness and its
inspiration. What crowded and breath
less aisles, what windows clustering
with eager head, what enthusiasm of
approval, w'at grim silence of foregone
dissent!" John Jay Chapman in At
lantic. The Saltan nnd Electricity.
The sultan seems to have a curious
mingled liking for and a dread of elec
tricity. Mr. Burgiu tells in CasselPs

descent lamps. One day he saw the
workmen trenching the walls in order
to buiy tho wires leading from tho en
gine room to the theater and stopped
the work, insisting that the wires
should all be placed in sight on poles,
as ho feared that otherwise they might
be used to produce an explosion. He
had also an electrical boat on a small
lake, mi English dogcart driven by elec
tricity, and a tiny electrical tramcar,
upholstered in blue satin and gold,
which runs in a circle. It is said that
ho has never yet ventured inside any of
these vehicles, and also that he has for

You can't find in these
United States the Equal
of the Genuine
Beck with
Round Oak,
You may try; you'll get
left. Remember, it's the
combination of good points
that makes the Perfect

it all, but it FAILS. They
m build another. It fails.
?? Still they keep on crying
good as the KOUND
0 A K. Some peculiar
merchants say they have
them, when IT'S NOT SO.
