The train stopped suddenly between two stations , Several of the pa.asengera rushed out of the oar excitedly and came back with the tidings that there was an obstruction on the track that would cause the delay of an hour. The countenances of most of the pas- sengers instantly fell into the depths of gloom and despair. "This is simply intolerable I," mut- tered one middle-aged man to his com- panion. " I shall not reach the city be- fore the market closes. It will cost me two or three thousand dollars." A physician dropped his newspaper and passed impatiently up and dowu the car. " An hour late with all my pa- tients !" he exclaimed. Are any of them in immediate dean er ?" " o. But an hour lost! It is un- bearable !" A young girl looked at her compan- ions with the tears in her eyes. 1'1 am going into town for the trim rning for my dress. Now,it will not be done in time. I shall have to wear my old blue to the party." A short, pompous old man- talked loudly and incessantly, scolding conduc- tors and brakemen, as if they were :per- sonally responsible for the delay. "I am to lecture this afternoon before the Lyceum," he exclaimed, in hot in- dignation. "The audience will have to wait twenty minutes !" A youngman sat immovable, his head bent upon his breast, his face set' and hard. "My little boy is dying," he said to some one who questioned him. "1 was telegraphed for. I shall not see him alive." But while with most of the passengers there was a secret conviction that the wheels of the universe had stopped be- cause they were delayed in their pursuits or work, one woman sat silent and tranquil. She was near the end of a long life of pain and hardship and wide experience. She had come, too, near enough to the God who rules over all lives to under-. stand how every event and accident, great or littleo has its place and purpose in the eternal order, as have motes floating in the sunshine. She was close enough to the:gate of the future life to see how little in its infinite height and meaning was the old ball dress, or the fell of stocks, or even the loss of an hour with the dying child. "One of the most singular studies in life," says Bouchet, "is to note how dif- ferent men, each with his own scales, weigh the same objects and attach to them different values." • Good Advice. _ When D. K. Tenney was admitted to the bar he was one of the "boys." He enjoyed a good time as well as any one, and the following story is told of him : He went to a country dance near Madison, Wisconsin, one night and be- came sraitten with one of the country girls. He danced with her nearly all the evening, regardless of the fact that a certain six-footer in the room kept watching'llim threateningly. Finally a friend approached. "Dan,"he said, "do you see that big fellow on the other side of the room ?" " Yes." Well, he is going to lick the life out of you." "What for?" asked Tenney. "You have been dancing with his girl all the evening." "1 didn't know it. What shall I do ?" "Well, if I were you I'd put on my coat and make a sneak for home. I'd _get away from here just as quick as I could." - The embryo lawyer said never a word, but reached down in his pocket and pulled out a $2 bill. "What are you doing ?" asked the friend. " Take it." "I don't want any money." Take it," repeated Tenney. "1 have taken $5 for a great sight worse ad- vice than that." At the Family Table: I dare say there are a few homes in the State where napkins are used only "for company," and some, perhaps, where the head of the family might tell his patient little wife who wants to have " things like other folks," to "take that rag away." But in these days, when the napkin is as essential a pert of the table fuiniture as the spoon or plate, I would insist that it should be used every day by the children, even if I made my napkins out of worn tablecloths and my napkin rings out of birch bark or paste- board covered with ribbon. Don't, don't, noset talk with your mouth full. Let the brighteat retort go unspoken, the opportunity for wit be un- improved, unless you can speak without that muffled tone indicative of a mouth- ful of half masticated food. Be thoughtful of the 'teeds of others at table, and quick to see and render small services quietly and opportunely. If an accident occurs at the table, to yourself or another, make as little fuss over it as possible; a few words of re- gret to the 'lady at the headof the table are in far better taste than profuse and repeated apologies. I was at a table once where a gentleman had the misfor- tune to upset the gravy -boat. His wife began at once to upbraid him for care- lessnees and awkwardness, and kept up her reproaches until long after the daughter of the house had quietly and deftly removed so far as possible all traces of the disaster ; in fact, the des- sert was served \ with a gravy accom- panitaent ; the poor man in the mean- time, between chagrin at the accident and mortification at the eloquence of his wife, evidently wished the earth would - open and swallow him. In sharp con- • trast was a worse accident that happen- ed at a "company tea" I attended not long after. The fourteen -year-old daughter of the hostess was presiding over the chocolate urn, when in filling a cup she tipped it too far, the cover swung out and a deluge of the hot, dark beverage, almost as thick as cream, poured over cups, tray, and the girl's hand. One quick glance at her mother, one glance from the mother to the wait- ress, who had already tray and napkie in hand to take it up, not one word spoken, but the hostess, "Mistress of herself though china fall," continued her conversation as calmly as if nothing ha& happened ; none of the guests appeared to notice the incident, a clean napkin covered the spots, the cups and saucers were removed and clean ones supplied and a pot of tea brought in, so quietly that no one felt 'upset" and the social enjoyment was not marred. Suppose the mother had begun to scold her daughter for carelessness, had jumped up, all nervous flurry, to help clear away the damage, the whole 'tea-party' would have been spoiled; the guests, instead of Carrying away pleasant mem- ories, would recall only an awkward • contretemps. And the mother had the good sense to realize her daughter was sufficiently punished and spare her the scolding many women would have ad- ministered in private. —Beatrix in Michigan Farmer. • Nines to the Front. For 110 years to come no man, woman or child, will write the current date without using the figure 9; for 19 years during that period two 9's must be writ- ten—in 1899, 1909, 1919, 1929, 1939, 1949, 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992,1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998; and for one year-1999—three 9's will have to be set down. Of the people now living it is safe to say that not one will ever write the date of his or her own time without using a 9. Besides mind- ing their p's and q's the next three gen- erations must give particular heed to their 9's. Nine has never been regarded as a particularly lucky number, but be- yond question the yearin which it will hold so conspieuous a psiace will bring benefits of undreamed oi,,, value to the world . —Ex change. is" The Captain's Well. From pain and peril, by land and main, The shipwrecked sailor came back again; Back to his home, where wife and child, Who had mourned him lost, with joy were wild; Where he sat once -more with his kith and kin; And welcomed bis neighbors thronging in. But when morning came he called for his spade, "1 must pay my debt to the Lord," he said. Why dig you here ?" asked the passer by; 18 there gold or silver the road so nigh ?" "No, friend," he answered; "but under this sod Is the blessed water, the wine of God." " Water ! the Powow hi at your back, And right before you the Merrimack, And look you up or look you down, There's a well sweep at every door in town." "True," he said, "we hare wells of our own ; But this I dig for the Lord alone." Said the other: "This soil is dry, you know, I doubt if a spring can be found below; You had better consult before you dig, Some water -witch, with a hazel twig.' " No, wet or dry, I will dig it here, - Shallow or deep, if it takes a year. In the Arab desert, where shade is none, The waterless land of sand and sun, Under the pitiless, brazen sky - My burning throat on the sand was dry ; My crazed brain listened in fever -dreams For splash of buokets, and ripple of streams; And opening my eyes to the blinding glare, And my lips to the breath of the blistering air. Tortured alike by the heavens and the earth, 1 cursed, like Job, the day of my birth. Then something tender, and sad, and mild As a mother's voice to her wandering child, Rebuke' my phrenzy ; and bowing my head, I prayed as I never before had prayed ; Pity me, God ! for I die of thirst; Take me out of this land accurst; And if ever 1 reach my home again, Where earth has springs, and the sky has rain, I will dig a well for the passers-by, And none shill suffer from thirst as I. I saw, as I paused, my home oneC. more, The house, the barn, the elms by the door. The grass -lined road, that riverward wound, The tall slate stones of the burying ground. The belfry and steeple on meeting house hill, The brook with its dam, and gray grist -mill, And I knew in that vision beyond the sea, The very place where my well must be. God heard my prayer in that evil day; He my feet in their homeward way, From false mirage and dried up well, And the hot sand -storms of a land of hell, Till I saw at limit, through a coast hill's gap, The city held in its stony lap, The mosques and the domes of scorched Muscat, And my heart jumped up with joy thereat; For there was a ship at anchor lying, A Christian flag at the mast -head fiying ; And sweetest of sounds to my homesick ear Was my native tongue in the sailors' cheer. Now the Lord be thanked, I am back again, Where earth has springs and the skies have rain, And the well I promised, by Oman's Sea, I am digging for him in Amesbury." His good wife wept, and his neighbors said; "The poor old captain is out of his bead." But frown morn till noon,and from noon to night, He tolled at his task with main and might; And when at last, from tha.loosened earth, Under his spade the stream gushed forth, And fast as he climbed to his deep well's brim, The water he dug for followed him. He shouted for Joy; "1 have kept my word, And here Is the well I promised the Lord-!" The long years came, and the long years went, And he sat by his road -side well content ; He watched the travelers, heat -oppressed, Pause by the way to drink and rest. And sweltering horses dip, as they drank, Their nostrils deep in the cool, sweet tank ; And gratefulat heart, his memory went, Back to that waterless Orient, And the blessed answer of prayer, which came To the earth of iron and sky of flame. And when a wayfarer, weary and hot, Kept to the la:id-road, pausing not For the well's refreshing, he shook his head; " He don't know the value of water," he said "Had he prayed for a drop, as I have done;7 In the desert circle of sand and sun, He would drink and rest, and go home to tell That Cod's best gift is the ay -side well !" —J. G. Whittier, in N. Y. Ledger. A Husband's Rash Promise. Men who make promises to their wiveashould be careful to keep the fact secret if they wish to avoid embarrass- ing complications. Some time ago a young married man named Johnson, in Chicago, who was drawing a liberal salary, told his devoted wife that every $2 bill that came to him in change should be hers for pin -money. Gradually Mr. Johnson's friends learned of the promise and began to conspire to help on the popular. young married lady, If they owed their friend anything they would invariable pay him in $2 bills. Finally they got to,borrowing from him in order to liquidate in $2 bills, and, still un- suspecting, Mr. Johnson continued to allow the $2 bills to flow into the willing lap of his better half. Finally the cashier of the firm that employed him learned of the generouspromise, and he, too, entered into the conspiracy, and on the next payday handed Mr. Johnson a roll that staggeNd him. Every dollar of it was in the denomination of 'two." Sweating und r the burden the repent- ant husband firended his way homeward. " Mary,".he jaid, as he met her at the door, "1've1got to break my promise with you, for the government at Wash- ington has ceased to print any money but in $2 bill denomination. All the V's and X's, Vs and C's are being rapidly sent to the paper mills to be reissued its$2 bills. If you don't be- lieve it, see this roll of bills I was paid to -day. Sorry as I ani to do it, I've got to break my promise with you, or else go into bankrupt* Can't we compro- mise the matter by my giving you regularly po a week ?" They compro- mised. "In Memorium." Written on the death of Mrs. Kate Lynn, of Marion, Osceola county,Michi- gan, wife of P. J. Lynn. The deceased resided most of her life in Huron county, whereshe was loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves an al- most heart -broken husband and four small children to mourn her lose. The bereaved family have the sympathy of allwho know them. God has taken back the treasure Lent to earth scarce thirty years ago, And our grief is beyond measure, Yet We thank Him, that 'tie so. Kate, dear, we would not recall thee, To this world of pain and woe; - Sorrow new can ne'er befall thee,' Nor bitter grief known here below. By God's mercy you were ready When the sudden summons came, And 3 ou flew fronfearth to heaven, Feeling naughtof fear or shame. We could scarce believe our Benson When they said that you were dead; But, alas! a black -edged letter Told us you had really fled. Your loved husband sadly naourns you, You who shared his joys and pain; Life is lonely now without you, But he knows in Heaven you'll meet again. For you were to him far dearer Than the life he'd fain lay down; Could it add ene ray of glory To your shining Heavenly crown. May God bless your helpless children. Bereft of,a fond mother's love; But we know you'll still watch o'er them, From your happy home above. NoW they sadly look about them, Thy loved presence much they miss; And their little hearts are breaking When they think Of thy sad parting kiss. But the infant in the cradle Will never realize it's loss, Never know that it's fond mother Was so early laid beneath a cross. - Then farewell, our dear departed, May bright angels round thee stand, And when free from earthly shackles, May we meet thee in the happy land. —Leonora J. Lynn. • • A Wife's Curiosity. There is something in housekeeping that develops all the small curiosity of the people, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The elegant lady of society when she owns a fine house, is not above commenting -upon the condition of the back yard of her neighbor's establish- ment, noticing the blinds or the front steps, or back windows, or who goes in ancrwho goes out. I ehouldn't wonder if even the millionaire's wife knows how much milk the next door family takes and how much bread and is per- fectly aware, by watching the butcher'a boy, what they have for dinner. "1 am not a bit curious," the lady said, "not a bit—and I don't care what my neighbors do; but that family op- posite must use coal -oil all the time." "No," said the husband, "1 see the gas burning now." " Well, I don't care. They must burn about two gallons of coal -oil every day ?" " What makes you think that ?" " Well, the old man there goes out to the corner grocery with a coal -oil can three times a day and brings it back full of oil." She worried her husband so much about this extraordinary fact, not be- cause she was curious at all, but because she wanted to know, that at last, hav- ing a slight acquaintance with the old man, he took the liberty to atop him one day and ask him about it. "Do you find coal -oil so much cheaper and more convenient than gas ?" " No, we don't use coal -oil." "And what do you—" "You mean this coal -oil can? That's - all right. Don't give it away. I am only flying the cruck, rushing the grow- ler. Thisis beer." The Head of the Family. It's awful hard to tell sometimeswhere the head of the family is, says the San Francisco Chronicle. What with the girl being able to do just as she likes with her father, and the boy being able to wheedle his mother into doing any- thing he wante her to, society is in a bad way. • Ah, well! The authority of affection is a very pleasing theory, not altogether safe as it is. The republican form Of government is, perhaps, not the best in a household. The house wants an emperor, governed by an empress. The young people in the family vote now-a.days before they come of age. I don't know that the old gentleman I saw with•his family in a restaurant the other day is quite the thing, bat there could not be any mistake about who was the head of his family. There were three or four of them—the old gentle- man, his wife, and I think two daugh- ters. He led the march into the res- taurant and waved his family to seats at one of the tables. He hung up his hat and then he took his chair' spread his legs out, picked up the billof fare, and held it between his hands with his el- bows on the table., He looked at it,and then he laid it down, leaned • back and called the waiter with a sweep of his arm. "Come here," he said. The waiter came. He faced his wife, and pointed at her with his finger, as he said: "Maria, what will you take." "1 think I'll take some mutton chaps," said Maria, mildly. "No you won't," with his finger still •pointed at her. "You won't take no mutton chops. I know what you'll take. Tea and toast for her," to the waiter. " Lemme see, Jennie," turning and stretching his finger out toward his daughter. "Jennie, yes I know what you want, a cup of coffee and some cake for her." The last sentence to the waiter. "One tea and thsaet, two coffees and cake; and for mel—lemme see," tak- ing up the bill of fare and putting on his glasses, "lemme see—for me a ten- derloin steak, a bottle of ale, fried pota- toes and some salad. "That'll do. * IMPORTANT NOTICES BREEDING MARES FOR SALE.—Two good Breeding Mares with foals at feet, foaled April 2nd, will be sold cheap.
