' NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE.
H. M. PROWITT.
[Continued from last week]
At 12:80 we resume our journey west
ward by the Chicago and Alton road. For
the first. ten hours traveling in a south-‘
west direction ; and from thence in a
direct Westerly course to Kansas City.
On leaving Chicago large fields of cabbages
may be seen adjacent to the railroad.
These appear very fine and flourishing,
but soon we are passing by large field of
corn, all blighted, and having the appear-
ance of severe frosts ; but we are told by
those acquainted with this section that
there have been no frosts, but what is here
noticed is the effect of the severe drought.
Both east and west have suffered alike in
this respect, while Pennsylvania and Ohio
have had,‘ during most of the season, a
superfluify of rain. It. is not. long before
the, train is rushing across the unfenccd
prairie lands. Here and there-are noticed
cattle grazing, and occasionally these are
very near the track, on which occasions,
the train slows up, the steam whistle
alarms the herd, and a general stampede
ensues. Large stacks of hay and wheat
are found in fenced enclosures, giving evi-
dence of the abundance of the early crops
There is one feature on this, as also on
most of the trains running from Chicago
Westward, which is the Reclining Chair
Car, one of which is attached to each ex-
press train. These chairs are so arranged
as to revolve, or to be placed in any posi-
tion that the occupant. may desire. There
is, however, this :disadvantagc attending
them, which is, that as there is no extra
charge for this car, those who seize upon
them first may retain possession of them
as long as they please. 0f com-w, occu-
pants of sleeping cars do not require any
more luxury than the Pullman cars afford.
A grand luxury to the traveling public
is the Hotel Car. Unlike those on the
’ Pennsylvania Road which are only used
by the occupants, this is not so aristocrat-
ic. It is a separate out attached to the
train about meal times,and travels with it
for a couple of hours, and during that time
is open to any who may wish to patrqnize
it at the very moderate sum of 75 cents a
meal. In either case these cars are a
great accommodation to travelers. First-
class meals may be taken without any
haste, and yet with no delay in time, as
the train is rapidly pursuing its onward
course. ,
Nearly all western roads are single track,
and here the telegraph is made to act the
part of the safeguard. Each conductor
on arriving at a station must enter on a
book provided for ‘the purpose, answers to
printed blanks, as to the time of his arri-
val, doc. This is then given to the tele-
graph operator to be desputched to stations
in each direction, and responsive returns
received before the train will be permitted
to move. _By this arrangement, provided
there are no gross blunders, no two op‘-
posing trains can be on the same track at
the same time. But the march of improve-
ment stops not here. Reference is here
made to the facilities for transmitting let-
ters to anxious friends. How difficult it.
was a few years ago, in case of sickness,
or of vexatious delays, to mail a letter;
but now the traveler may call upon a por-
ter for a table, and while the train is going
on its thirty miles-an-hour gait, may write
and direct his letter, and when the train
stops at a station all he has to do is to step
out of the car, and find the U. S. letter
box fastened to a post, into which the let-
ter is dropped, and it goes to its destina-
tion by the first mail.
Early next morning passengers are noti-
fied that a Hotel car is attached to the
train, and can remain with it. but a little
more than an hour. It is astonishing how
quick toilets can be arranged under such
circumstances.
0n approaching Kansas City the porter
will again be at his post ready to whisk
off the dust and lint, and as he has been
very polite and assiduous in his attentions
in watching every instance of weariness,
when he takes a pillow and sheathing it in
' aplean pillow case, hands it to the weary
one, no one can begrudge the small pit-
tance which may be offered him. At 8:80
the cars reach Kansas City, and here we
part with our obliging conductor, Albert
Duryee, who has volunteered to assist in
forwarding our baggage in case any difil-
culty should occur. .
KANSAS cm.
The depot at this place is large, and as
we emerge from our car we notice several
trains, each with the card of destination
suspended in plain sight, they are all
backed up to the depot, ready to receive
' such persons scare going west. Every
thing is busy here. Ticket agents and
baggage men have all they can do. Trunks
by the hundred are awaiting applicants
for claiming or re-checking, and since ours
have not arrived owing to the delay of the
transfer agent in New York. arrangements
must be made for their forwarding. Al-
though the depot is large, yet the capac-
ities of this immense waiting room are not
sufficiently ample to prevent a large crowd
from interfering with free movement.
The great difficulty in all these cities is
that so many trains leave at the same
time. After having traveled from New
York to Chicago, nearly one thousand
miles, it is no uncommon thing for one to
say to the other, “Are you going west?”
and ou-reaching Kansas the same inquiry
is made, “Are you going west ?” while at
Denver, some ‘two thousand miles from
New York, an eastern resident is amused
at hearing persons talk of going west.
We take the distance tables and examine
them to see if there is any propriety in
thus speaking, and we find that Kansas
Clty is less than half way to the Pacific
Coast. Take the map of the United
States and look westward some two thous-
and miles from this point, then turn your
attention eastward and see the little State
of Connecticut, and the still smaller
Rhode Island, and it is only then that we
can have any idea of the great magnitude
. of our own country, and of the vast west.
At 9:45 A. M. we are again under way
for Denver by the Union Pacific Road, or
as this branch of it is called, The Kama;
Pacific Railway. We are here to notice
one or two peculiarities of thc‘west, one
of which is the curtailing of names. The
Kansas Pacific Road is always spoken of
as the K. P. Road. The Chicago & Alton
as the C. &. A. Road; the Chicago, Bur-
lington 8!. Quincy, as C., B. «So Q. road.
Another thing noticeable, not only in
ordinary conversation but in print, which
is that the word railway is used instead of
railroad. and on the cars we may find D.
&. R. G. R'y, neaning Denver do Rio
Grande Railway. 5
From Kansas City to' Denver is 639'
miles. By schedule time we are to reach
Denvenaf 7:45 A. M., or in. 22 hours.
J not us the train moves off from the Kan-
sas City depot, we discover on another
train western train, some of our fellow- .
passengers of the C. & A. Road. A mu.
tual acknowledgement, a mutual wave of
the handkerchief and the trains diverge.
Frequently some very pleasant associations
are formed while traveling, and make
agreeable reminiscences. The mere occu-
patinn of another’s section, while the
porters are. making up or removing the
formality of‘an introduction. At dusk
the horizon is illuminated with prairie fires
in scvcral,‘directions. It is not. a high
blaze, for the grass is too short to admit
of that, yet it presents a grand appearance
not only ahead but on each side, yet before
retiring for the night, these fires are left
for in the rear, and in no instance were
they near the railway.
Night closes the scene ; the occupants
of the car have hecbme ensconced behind
the curtains. The lights are all extin-
guished except two, which are drawn
down to a glimmer, and sleep has taken
possession of nearly all. Naught is heard
except the rumbling of the train. Yet
there is one company that enter the car
about 10 o’clock, and we are awakened by
hearing the conductor cndeavoring to find
a sleeping place for this family ;\for near-
ly every part of the car was full. At
about 11 the train stops for fuel and wa‘er,
-—a long delay is made at this depot, per-
haps in consequence of a telegram direct-
ing a stop. We are at Collyer, midway be-
tween Kansas City and Denver, out on the
open prairie. The train is half an hour
behind time. The engine bell ringp for the
start,and the engine is being oiled,while the
train conductor is near the forward car. A
loud report is heard—a powerful jar is ex-
perienced! A shower of hard substances
falls on the roofs of the cars! All start.
from their slumbers. There is no motion
of the train. A death-like stillness pre-
vails. Something has gone wrong, and
the universal exclamation is, what is it?
Though our car is the last one of this long
train, yet the jar is seriously felt. In a
few minutes some gentlemen return after
having been out to see what was the mat-
ter, and report that the boiler has explod-
ed killing the fireman and engineer and
injuring the conductor.
' (To be continued.)
Artemus W'ard.
Artemus Ward is a worthy companion
of Irving, Holmes and Lowell, and nobly
excels Mark Twain and Bret Harte, in
that his wit is never impure, never im-
moral, {never irreverent. His lecture on
“The Mormons,” the London Times,
quoted by Mr. Haweis, describes as “ut-
terly free from offense, although the op-
portunities for offense are obviously num-
erous.” The lecturer and contributor to
Punch says of himself: “I never stain my
pages with even mild profanity. In the
first place it is wicked, and in the next it
is not fupny." Strange that so many
would~be wits lack wit. to discern this
truism! Another sentence of Artemus
Ward is in, itself an’answer to a dozen In-
gersoll lecturers:
“Are you a preachin,’ says the royal
duke, slitely sarkastical. .
“ ‘N 0, air. But. I blccvc in mectin’
. houses. Show me a place where there
isn’t. any meetin’ houses and preachers is
never seen, and I’ll show you a place
where old {hats air stuffed into broken
winders, where the children are dirty and
rugged, wh ere gates have no hinges, where
the wimmin are slip-shod and where maps
of the devil’s wild land air painted upon
men’s shirtbusums with tobacco jooce!
That’s what I’ll show you. Let us con-
sider what the preachers do for us before
we choose ’cm.’ ” ’
Artemus Ward’s private life was spot-
less, and his personality most engaging.
The writer resides near the birthplace at
Waterford, Me., of the boy, Charles Far-
rar Browne. I find that the testimony of
men who were his schoolmates accords
with that published by intimate associates
of his manhood, to wit, that with all his
inborn love of merriment and of adven-
ture, he was exceptionally pure-minded,
considerate,and unselfish.He sought not to
wield his wit at cos of another’s pain. He
was a devoted son. He would talk to his
friends of his mother asjother young men
talk of a. sweetheart. Mrs.Browne yet. lives
Waterford, and welcomes every visitor
who comes to honor the memory of her
son. Artemus Ward’s career was pathet-
ically brief. Printer’s boy in a dozen
New England villages and cities, editor
in Toledo and in Cleveland, lecturer and
traveler over the land, at the age of 29 he
was the most pOpular humorous speaker
in America. He crossed the Atlantic, and
his success in London seemed boundless.
But meantime he was rapidly wasting with
consumption, and his face turned with his
heart homeward and northernward. But-
as he was about embarking at Southamp-
ton he died—March 6, 1867—hav1ng not
completed his 3lst year.—0hz‘cago Ad.

The Wrong Bounce.
' “Suppose,” began a little red-headed
man with a wild look in his eyes as be
halted "a policeman on Porter street the
other day—“suppose my molher-in-law
drops down upon me in Octoper and re-
mains all along until now, occupying the
best room, frettign at the children, put-
ting my wife up to be cranky, and greet-
ing me daily with such epithets as brute,
hyena and miser ?” '
“Yes, suppose she 'does P”
"Suppose that I finally cease to endure
and bounce her out? Can she have me
arrested?” ' . .
“If you assqut. her she can."
“Would I be fined over $10 ?"
“I think not—not for carrying her out
doors in your arms.” ' .
“Thanks. Between thimnd 4 o’clock
some one' will get bounced. In other
words, I shall pass the Rubicon.”
At 10 o’clock that night the same officer
found the man in a drunken sleep in a
lumber yard four blocks from his house,
As be hauled him out into the light he
found one eye closed,his face scratched,his-
collar torn off and his vest so split up the

AN AUTHENTIC STORY WHICH GOES TO
SHOW THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DOGS AND MEN IS REALLY SUPERFIOIAL.
[From the Arkansaw 'l‘ravcllor.]
“He’s lost all respect for himself,” said
a saloon-keeper, as a large dog walked be-
hind the bar and began to lap beer drip-
pings from a pull.
The bystanders looked at the man in
surprise. .
“It’s a fact. Some time ago, when that
dog came from the country, he was gentle-
manly and well behaved. Now he can't
walk the streets in peace. Shortly after
his arrival he went to the bucket there
and began to lap the beer drippings. . He
turned away and grinned with evident
displeasure, but. I noticed that he soon
came back. Pretty soon he became a
regular visitor. and first thing I knew he
was drunk. He stood around awhile and
sorter smiled. He took another drink and
went out, soon returning with another
dog. They took a drink and by way of
compliment sniffed each other. That’s
the way they tip glasses, you know,
Well, they kept on drinking until they
began to quarrel. Finally they got into a
fight and I had to put them out. Next
day Bob, the dog drinking there now,
came in. 'He was so nervous that he
could hardly walk and he looked broke up
and dejected. I felt sorry for him and
gave him some whiskey in a pan. You’d
ought to have seen him. He chuckled
and shook himself with thankfulness. He
came back after a while and whined for
more. I thought I'd play a joke on him,
and I mixed his drinks. Then he got
howling drunk. He went out into the
street and tried toraised a row with every
dog he saw. A country-looking dog
came along and Bob walked up and stood
in front of him. The country dog didn’t
say anything, but. walked quietly around.
A dog won‘t. resent an insult very quick
when he's in a strange place. Bob step-
ped in flout of him again, and again the
country dog walked around. Bob was
spilin’ for a row and he rubbed against
the country dog, when suddenly the
country dog hauléd off and knocked Bob
doWn, jumped on him and rolled him
shamefully. Bob got up finally and stag-
gered into the saloon, got another drink
and raved, I understood him, and just as
plainly as anything could be,he swore he’d
kill the country dog. He snorted around
and turned over the chairs, and then with
a whoop went, out to find the country dog.
I didn‘t let him see me, but followed along.
He found the country dog lying under a
wagon. The strange dog got up and
looked at Bob'. Bob sorter bowed and
walked around. Then he come back to
the saloon with a mouthful of hair that
he had found somewhere. ~ ‘I reckon you
whipped him,’ said I, and ,he put the hair
on the floor and walked proudly around
it. ‘Bob, you can’t fool me,’ Isaid; ‘the
dog you fought was a yellow dog. This
hair is black. How do you explain it i”
I never saw anybody look so mean. He
hung his head and sneaked away. ,Oh.
but he’s sharp. One time he got on such
a spree that he had the jim-jams. I saw
him stepping over streaks of sunlight and
starting nervously and I thought I’d play
a joke on him. ‘ He lay down and triéd to
sleep, but every now and then he’d jump.
While he wasn't looking I slipped up and
put one of those black-snake whips near
him, When he saw it he jumped about
ten feet and howlcd. '11:: came around
where I was and seemed to be asking my
opinion of the affair. I walked out and
pretended that I didn‘t see tithing. That
puzzled him. Finally he concluded that
he must have been mistaken,‘so he went
to the far-end of the house and lay down
again. I took up the whip and tossed it
on him. Well, sir, you could have heard
him how! for a mile. After this he swore
oflf. I’d ask him to take a drink and he'd
walk away, He held out for about two
weeks and fell again. He came limping
.iu as though he had the rheumatism. He
looked at me as much as to say: “What’s
gave him a drink. Pretly soon he came
back with something the matter with one
’of his eyes. Igave him another drink,
and after awhile he came back with his
tail all twisted out of shape, He could
put up more excuses than any dog I ever
saw. Look him now. He’s drunkasa
fool. He's gone, lemme tell you, and he’s
not only ruined himself, but he’s dragged
several very respectable dogs down with
him. Why, air, it wouldlastonish you to
see how little confi ce the dogs of this
community have in ob. None of them
except the very bad ones will associate
with him. Go on away, now. You
shan’t have suythingclae today,” and the
narrator of these solemn facts wiped the
bar with a rag and refused :credit toa
freckled face boy with a pitcher.
One dark night five young men softly
entered a yard, arranged themselves in a
semi-circle and suddenly began to sing,
while a guitar and a banjo added their
sugary 'notes on the general sweetness.
As the song was finished the sash went up
and a masculine voice called out:
“Splendid! Beautiful! gentlemen,
please repeat!”
The band was only too happy to accom-
modate, and "Only a Pansy Blossom"
went floating again on. the night breeze.
“Enchanting—positively enchanting
exclaimed the man at the window. .“Gen-
tlemen, I don’t want to put you to trouble,‘
but if you would only sing that over once
more P" .
The song dragged a little this time, and
the alto voice seemed to have swallowed it
troche down the wrong pipe, but it end-
at last, and the old man cncorcd and called
out : '
“That’s what I call singing, that is!
Gentlemen, I’m no hog, but if I, could
prevail upon you to render that delightful
poem once more it would be a kindness I
never could forget l ”
There was a great deal of growling in
undertones, but the leader gave the key,
and for the fourth time the neighborhood
was filled with dreadfully faded pansy
blossoms. When the last note died away,
the old man clapped his hands and ex-
claimed: ,
“Better and better ! You have my
heartfelt thanks The old woman is deaf,
my darter is in Pontiac and the hired gal
left yesterday, or I'd have ’em all stick
their heads out to thank you in person!
Good night, gentlemen, good night, and if

“There, drop that,” said the grocery
man to the bad boy as he came limping
into the store and began fumbling around
a box of strawberries. “I have never
kicked at. your eating my codfish, and
crackers and cheese. and herring and ap—
ples, but there has got to be a dividing

at six shillings a box, and only two layers
in a box. I only bought one box, hoping
along and buy it, and by gum, everybody
that has been in the store has sampled a
strawberry out of that box, ahivcred as
though it. was sour, and gone ofi without
asking the price,” and the grocery _man
looked mad, took a hatchet and knocked
in the head of a barrel of apples, and
said, “There, help yourself to dried up-
ples.”
“0, I don’t want your strawberries or
dried apples," said the boy, as he leaned
against a show case and looked at a bar
of red, transparent soup. “I was only
trying to fool you. Yes, that bar of soap
is old enough to vote. I remember sce-
ing it in a show case when I was about a
year. old, and pa came in here with me
up to the show case to look at that tin
tobacco box, and that round zinc looking
glass, and the yellow wooden pocket
’comb, and the soap looks just the same,
only alittle faded.’ If y0u would wash
yourself once in a while your soup
wouldn’t dry up on your hands,” and the
boy sat down in the chair without a back,
feeling that he was even with the grocery
man. _
“You never mind the soap. It is paid
for, and that is more than your father can
say about the soup that he:has been using
in his house the past month," said the
grocery man, as be split up a box to kin-

was it Iheard about a band serenading
your father, and his inviting them in to
lunch P" ,
"Don’t let that get out, or pa will kill
me dead. It was a. joke. One of these
Bohemian bands that goes about town
playing tunes for pennies, was over on
the next street and I told pa I guessed
some of his friends who had heard we
had a baby at the house, had hired a band
and was coming in a. few minutes to sere-
nade him, and he ,had better prepare to
makes speech. Pa is proud of being a
father at his age, and he thought it was
no more than right for the neighbors to
serenade him, and he went to loading
himself for a speech, in the library, and
me. and my chum went out and told the
leader of the hand there was a family up
there that wanted to have some 'music
and they didn’t care for expense. so they
quit blowing where they was and come
right along. None of them could under-
stand English except the leader, and he
only understood enough to go and take a
drink when he is invited. My chum
steered the hand up to our house and got
them to play ‘Babics on our Block,’ and
I stopped all the men who were going
home and told them to wait a minute and
they would see some fun, so when the
baud got through the second tune, and the
Prussian: were emptying the beer out of
their horns,and pa stepped outou thelporch
there was more nor a hundred people in
front of the house. You’d a dide to see
pa when he put his hand in the breast of
his coat and struck an atttiude. He looked
like a congressman, or a tramp. The band
was scared, ’cause they thought he was
mad, and some of them ,was going to run,
thinking he was going to thr0w pieces of
brick house at them, but my chum and
the leaderkept them. Then pa sailed in.
He commenced, ‘Fellow Citizens,’ and
then went way back to Adam and Eve,
and worked up to the present day, giving
a history of the notable people who had
acquired children, and kept the crowd
interested. I felt. sorry for pa, ’causc I
knew how he would feel when he found
out that he had been sold. The :Bohe-
mlaus in:the band that couldn’t understand
English, they looked at each other, ’and
wondered what it was all about, and
800d for this ?’ I un‘derstood him and ‘finally pa wound up by stating that it was
every citizen's duty to own children of
his owa, and then he invited the band
and the crowd to take some refreshments.
Well, you ought to have seen that. band
come into the house. They fell over each
other in getting in, and the crowd went
home, leaving pa and my chum and me
and the baud. Eat? Well, I should
smile. They just reached for things, and
talked Bohemian. Drink? 0, no, I guess
they didn‘t pour it down. Pa opened a
dozen bottles of champagne, and they
fairly bathed in if. as though they had a
fire inside. Pa tried to talk with them
about the baby, but they couldn’t under-
stand, and finally they got full apd started
out, and the leader asked pa. for three
dollars, and that broke him up. Pa ,told
the leader be supposed the gentlemen who
had got up the serenade had paid for the

said I \was the gentlemen that got it up.
Pa paid him, but he had a wicked look in
his eye, and me and my chum lit out, and
the Bohemians came down the street
bilin’ full, with their horns on their arms,
and they were talking Bohemian for all
that was 0.1. They stopped in front of
a vacant house and began to play, but you
couldn’t. tell what tn ne it was, they was
so full, and a policeman came along and
drove them home. I guess I will sleep in
the livery stable tOLnight, ’cause pa is offal

I hear about the trouble at the church?
They lay that foolishness to you.”
"It’s all alie. They lay everything to
me. It was some of them ducks that sing
.in the choir. I was just as much surprised
as anybody when it occurred. You see,
the ride to the funeral, when he tried to
run over a street car and an old deacon,
who had symptoms of being a minister in
his youth, was invited to take the mini:-
ter's place, and talk a little. He is an
absent minded old party, who don’t keep
up with the events of the «lay, and who
ever played it. on him knew he was too
pious to even read the daily papers.
There was a notice of a 'choir meeting to
be read, and I think the tenor smuggled
in the other notice, between that. and the
one about the weekly prayer meeting.
’Any way it wasn’t me, but it like to broke
up the meeting. After the deacon read
the choir notice he took up the other ono
and read, ‘I am requested to announce
that the Y. M. C. Association will give a
friendly entertainment with soft gloves,
4 on Thursday evening, to which all arcin-
vited. Brother John Sullivan, the emi-
nent Boston rcvivalist, will lead the ex-
ercises, assisted by Brother Slade, the
Marci missionary from Australia. There
will be no slugging, but a collection will
be taken up at the, door to defray expen-
ses.’ Woll, Ithonght the people in the
church would sink through the floor.
There was not a person in the church,
except the poor old deacon, but what un-
derstood that some wicked wretch had
deceived him, and Iknow the tenor tickled
the soprano that he did it. I may be

Marriage Proposals.
The Several Methods Adopted by Lovers in Popular
English Novels.
There is no subject in the whole range
of human affairs so interestinl! to a-.work-
ing majority of the race as the theory and
practice of proposals of marriage. Men,
perhaps, cease to be very much concerned
about the matter when they have been
through it. But the topic never loses its
chin-m for the fair sex, though they are
presumed only to wait and to listen and
never to speak for themselves. That this
theory has its excéptious appears to be the
conviction of many novelists. They not
only made their young ladies “lead up to
it? like'a damsel in a play of last season,
but heroines occasionally go much further
than that, and do more than prompt an in-
experienced wooer. ' But all these things
are only known to the world through the
confession of novelists, who, perhaps,
themselves receive confessions. M. Gon.
court‘ not long ago requested all the fair
readers to send him notes of their own
private experience. Do English novelists
receive any private information, and if
they do not, how are we to reconcile their
knowledge—they are all love adepts--with
the morality of their lived? “We live like
other people, only more purely,’ says the
author of “Some Prlvate Views,” which
is all very well. No man is bound to in-
criminate himself. But as in the course
of his career a successful novelist de-
scribes many hundreds of proposals, all
different, are we to believe that he is
prompted merely by imagination ? Are
there no "documents," as M. Zola says,
for all this prodigious deal of love mak-
ing? These are questions which await a
reply in the interests of ethics and of art.
To begin with an early case, when Tom
Jones returne ’ to his tolerant Sophia, he
called her “ dam,” and she called him
“Mr. J ones”—not Tom. She asked Thom-
when the lover of Miss Western drew a
mirror from his pocket (like Strcphon in
“Iolanthe”) and cried, “Behold that love-
ly figure, that shape, those eyes,” with
other compliments, “can the man whois
the possessor of these be ineonstant 3’" So-
phia was charmed by the “man in posses-
sion,” but forced her features into a frown.
Presently Thomas “caught her in his
arms,” and the rest was in accordance
with what Mr. Trollope and the best an-
thorities recommend. How differently
did Arthur Pendennis carry himself when
he proposed to Laura and did not want to
be accepted! Lord Farintosh proposed.
nicely enough but did not behave at all
well when he was rejected. By the way,
when young men in novelsare not accep-
ted they invariably ask the lady whether
she loves another. Only some ladies, and
young men whom they have rejected,
know whether this is common in real life.
It does not seem quite right.
Theophile Gautier says that ladies inva-
riably lay their heads on the shoulder of
the man who proposes (if he is the right
man) and for this piece of “business” (as
he considers it) he assigns various motives.
But he was a Frenchman, and the cyni-
cism of that nation (to parody a speech of
Tom Jones’) cannot understand the deli-
cacy of ours. Mr. Blackmore (in “Lorna
and appropriate speech. But that was in
the seventeenth century. When Artemus
Ward began a harangue of this sort, Bet-
sy Jane knockedhim off the fence on
which he was sitting, and, first critisizing'
his eloquence in a trenchant style, added:
In other respects the lover of Laura Doonc
behaved asthe best authorities recommend.
Thackeray says that in writing these
think he was going into apoplexy. But
what are novels without love ? Mere
the green room with no better companion
than this bad poet."
Sir Charles clenched his teeth. -
"I accept the delicate commission," he
replied, “that you may see how easily the
man of the world drops what the rustic is
eager to pick up." ,
“That is better," said the actress with
a provoking appearance of good humor.
"You have a woman’s tongue, if not her
wit; but my good soul,” added she with
cool hauteur, “remember you have some-
thing to do of more importance than any-
thing you can spy.”
“I accept you courteous dismissal,
madam,” said Pomander grinding his
teeth. “I will send a carpenter for your
swaiu and leave you.”‘ I '
A Question of Grammar.
WA‘few days ago a young man from an
Eastern college arrived at Tombstone,
Arizona, and registered his name at the
principal hotel. A socially inclined'pcr-
son in a blue shirt and wide brimmed but,
who chanced to be in the office, good-na-
turedly answered evcry question, and vol-
unteered a vast amount of interesting in-
formation about Arizona in general and
Tombstone in particular. ‘
“Do you see them hills?” asked the
Tombstoner, pointing through one of the
office windows, “Well, them hills in full
of pay dirt." ,
The young man from the east lobke
shocked.
“ My dear sir,” he said, proudly. but
kindly, “you should say those hills are—
not ‘them hills is.’ "
The Tombstoucr was silent for a mo-
ment. He icokcd the young man from
the East critically over, as if he was esti-
mating the aize of coflln he would wear.
Then drawing out an ivory-stocked seven-
shooter of elaborate style and finish, he
said in a soft, mild, musical tone of voice
that,sonnded like a wildwood brook nurs-
ing o’er its pebble bed: “My gentle, un-
salted tenderfoot from the land of the ris-
ing sun, this here’s a pint that. you and me
disagrees on, and we might as well have it
settled right now. I haven’t looked in a
grammar lately, but I say ‘them hills is’ is
correct, and I’m going to stand by that
opinion while I’ve got 9 shot left. I’ll
give you jest three minutes to think calm-
ly over the subject, for you probably spoke
in haste the first time, and then I'll hear
your decision.” ’
The young man from the East looked
down the delicately-chased barrel of the
revolver into the placid depths of the eye
of the Tombstoner, and began to feel that
many points in grammar are uncertain and
liable to grow more so. Then he thought
of the coroner’s inques't,nnd of the ver-
dict, “ Came to his death by standing in
front of Colorado Tom’s seven.shooter,”
and of the long pine box going East by
express .with $60 charges on it, and before
half the three minutes was up he_ was
ready to acknowledge his error. “Since
he had thought over it calmly,” he said,
“he believed that ‘them hills is’ is right.
He had spoken on the spur of the mo-
ment," he added, “and begged a thousand
pardons for his presumptuous effort. to
substitute bad grammar for good."
The Tombstoner forgave him freely,
and, grasping his hand, said: 7
“I know’d you’d say you was wrong
after you thought a moment. I admire a
man who gives right in without arguing
when he knows he's wrong. Come along
and irrigate.” And they irrigated—Mid-
dletown Transmpt. '
Hints for Seed Time.
A Few Reminders and Suggestions that may be
Found Useful. 5
in planting seeds of all kinds one must
take care not to plant them so deeply that
they cannot pierce through the soil, and
also to provide some nice potting soil for
the seed pans or boxes in which they are
planted. If you cannot obtain potting
soil from a florist and do not have a pile.
of compost prepared last year of rotted
sods and leaves, you can, if living in the
country, obtain the best of compost pre‘
pared by nature in the forest—not under
evergreens, but uud r maples, oaks and
forest trees of othe kinds. Scrape oi
the leaves that. have not decayed at the
foot of some old stump or tree and dig
down until you come to perfectly decayed
waste paper. only/fit to be redu ed to pulp
and restortd to a whiteness an firmness ,
on which more love lessons may be writ- :
ten. .
Apropos of proposals one of the best
inventions of a modern novelist is the
scene in the green-room between Peg
Wofilngtou and the noble roueSir Charles.
The actress is'studying her part when the
dissolutc nobleman enters:
"I had the honor, madam,»of laying
certain proposals before you. " .
“Oh! yes—your letter, Sir Charles. I
have just had time to run my eye, down
it. Let us examine it together.”
She took out the letter with a wonder.-
ful appearance of interest, and the diplo-
mat allowed himself to fallinto the absurd
position to which she had invited him.
They put their heads together over the
letter. ' ,
“ 'A coach, a country house, pin mon-
ey’——and I’m so tired of houses and coach-
es and pins. Oh! yes, here’s something;
what is this you offer for me, up in this
corner '1’” ‘
Sir Charles inspected the place care-
fully, and announced that it was “his
heart.”
“And he can’t even write it 1” said she.
“That word in ‘earth.’ Ah! well you
know best. There is your letter Sir
Charles.”
She courtesied, returned him the letter,
and resumed her study of Lothsrio,
“Favor me. with your answer madam,"
said her suitor.
“You have it," was the reply.
"Madam, I don’t understand your an.
swer," said Sir Charles stifliy. '
“I can’t find you answers and under-
standings too," was the ladyJike reply.
“You must beat my answer into your
understanding whilst I beat this man's
verse into mine.
‘And like the birds,‘ ” etc.
Pomauder recovered himself a little; he
laughed with quiet insolence. “Tellme,”
said he, “do you really refuse ?" 7
“My good soul,” said Mrs. Wofilngton,
“Why this surprise! Are you so ignor-
ant of the stage and the world as not to
know thatI refuse such offers as yours
every week of my life i" _
“I know better," was the 0001 reply.
She left it unnoticed.
“I have so many of these,” she contin-
ued, “that I have begun to forget. they
are insults." .
At this word the button broke off Sir
Charles' foil. .
“Insults, madam! They are the high-
est compliments you have left it in your
power to pay you." .
The other took her button of! her foil.
“Indeed!” cried she with well-feigned
surprise, “Oh! I understand. To be your
mistress could be but dtemporary disgrace;
to be your wife would be alastiug dis-
credit," she continued. “And now, air,
having played your rival’s game, and
showed me your whole hand" (a light
broke in upon our diplomat), “do some-
thingto recover the reput 'on of a man
mold, black as wedding cake and as light
as friable. You may not find much in one
spot, but try several places and witha
{rowel fill a large basket with it, mix it
with the yellow sand that you may find
not far from the black leaf mold; and you-
will have the best compost that could be
procured for growing not only annuals
and perennials, but all kinds of house
plants. If you will give all of your
flower pots a top dressing of it, it will
stimulate them into a luxuriant growth.
When seeds are planted in half mold
from the forest and half sand, with a lit-
tle garden soil mixed in part, place the
balsams,tbumbcrgies, tropuaoluns, zinniss,
and similar seeds from an inch to half
an inch in depth, but cover verbena seeds
only by pressing them lightly into the
compost, and scatter petunias. poppies,
portulacas, etc., upon the surface of the
soil and sift a little warm water over them
and place some folded brown or white
wrapping paper over the boxes to keep
the moisture in the soil and also to pre-
vent them from being chilled at night;
Set them in a sunny window with a pane
of gloss over them and in three days re-
move the paper, having watered them
over it each day, and you will find some
of the seeds showing tiny green sprouts.
If you wish to grow cannon and cypress
vines, turn boiling water upon the seeds
‘and'let them remain until cool ahd then
plant them. This is needful to dissolve
the hard shell which contains the germ of
the plank—Springfield Republican. '
Weddings.
.At the end of the first year comes the
cotton Wedding. ~~ '
At two years comes the paper.

assemble at the woolen.
Al. ten the tin. -
At twelve years the silken and fine linen
At fifteen the crystal wedding.
At twenty. the friends gather with the
china.
At twenty-fivethe married couple that
have been true to their vows for a quarter
of a cenlury are rewarded with silver
gifts. From this period forward the to-
kens of esteem become rapidly more val-
uablc.
When the thirtieth anniversary
reached they are presented with pearls.
At the fortieth come _the rubies. ,
. At the fiftieth comes the golden wed-
ding.
Beyond that time the aged couples are

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD ~WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is'
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrnv~
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James 3083’ Patent Cold lVatch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and SOLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered. on each side of a. plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and tho
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the crises, backs,
centers, bczels, etc., are out and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth bf:
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made under this process. Each
case is acoomfiunicd with a. valid gum-(mice
signed by the manufacturers warranting it to

with considerable loss of 'mcmory, accompanied _
my practice I have been and am satisfied to use '
The melancholy days are come, the saddest
of the year,
Of cheerless homes, where hurrying brooms,
make household vexed and drear;
Heapod in the corners of the room, the last
year’s flies lie dead,
And stir not, in their shroud of dust, to the
cleaners heavy trend,
The curtains, and the carpets, all are gone,
.much else is in the way,
And to the house-top, rings a scrubbing sound
through all the gloomy day.
Fled are the days, the golden days, when all
things were serene, 4
When dinner followed breakfast straight, nor
chaos lay between;
Alas 1 they all have passed away, those page a-
' in! quiet hours,
With many {another happy time, and restful
dream of ours.
Our sighs are-filling all the air, our heafla
o’erfull of pain,
But from the silent vanished past, last week
comes not again. '
The noonday nap, the quiet chat, they left as
long ago,
With sunny smile, and accent mild, amid the
fervid glow
Of soul possessed, with cleanzing zeal, in-
direful hardihood.
Now reign supreme, o’er all the land, the
cleaning sisterhood, '
And, as falls the frost from heaven, or falls
the plague on men,
E’eu so the brightness vanishes, from every
one in ten. '
And now, when comes the‘ sunny day, as
spring time days do come
To call the spider ‘and the carpet moth, from
out their wintryhome;
And there’s a sound of measured beating,
heating with a will.
And clouds of dust, are rising, though all
the trees arestill;
There’s a searching for the treasures, whose
presence late we bore,
And we frown, to find them not, never, never,
more. '
Then, I think of months agone, that all too
quickly hied,
Since through the land, by busy hand, the
house was purified.
Alas! alas! that days so drear, should come
with budding leaf;
Alas ! alas ! that hours of case, should have a
life so brief-
Nonwnx, May 7th.
Reveille.
The long green blades of the lilies
Arc drawn from their sheath of mould;
Not yet are their cups uplifted
Of mottled and beaten gold
The drowse of long sleep is upon them;
Scarce yet hath their revel begun,
Till drunken with vintage and laughter
They reel ’noath the midsummer sun.
They lift up their golden goblets
And garner the dew divine,
White-beaded with sparkle and sweetness
0f stars, like Sirmian wine.
And they drink till the moon is stranded,
They qlafi‘ till the night is done,
And life is alert with the flaming
Bed fire of the rising sun.
The rods of the jessamine twinkle—
Not yet with the light of her slurs ;
The pink-tufted queen of the meadow
Stands not by the moaned meadow bars ;
The poppy lies still, as old Egypt asleep,
The dream-fillet fast ’bout her head,
The hyacinth’s fled from the garden ;
The violet nods‘with the dead.
But hark! ’tis the wind on the mountain,
The breath of the South, warm and sweet;
His pipe calls the rill from the fountain,
The cap from the root with swift feet,
And hark l ’tis the rain that is humming
The song that is sung by the sea;
In its wake is the green grass springing,
The bud and the leaf on the tree.
Its footfall will waken the poppy,
Her dream immemorial is done ;
Heat-ls of bloom! wake! awake! be happy!
In the wind. the rain and the sun.
Who Will Fix' This.
A lady in St. Louis, who recently lost a
child, and who vainly pleaded with the
authorities of the church near her residence
not to ring the hell on a Sunday morning
when her little darling was so sick, wants
to know if we don’t think people would '
go to church on time- just as well, if no
bells were rung? Well, yes, we believe
they would, if they wanted to. When
the same people go to a theatre, no bell is
rung, and they get there before the curtain
rises with remarkably regularity. No bell
is rung to call these members to business,
and yet they appear regularly at the ap-
pointed time. No bell is rung to tell that
dinner is to be served, and yet they all
start in lime to get there before it gets
cold. If a social is to take place, and it
is known that the lunch will be served at
eight o’clock, they all getthere before the
plate of oyster soup, or the first dish of
ice cream, is served, and the church hell
does not ring for a sociable. When the
doors of a circus are advertised to be open
at two o'clock, we have noticed that no
church member comes straggling in after
the clown has sung his song, and yet the
bells do not ring for acircus. We cannot
account for the necessity of ringing a
church-bell that often frightens sick per- .
sons info convulsions. But there are so
many things in the world that nobody
can account for! Who can account for
the fact that a dizzy actress can get’a
thousand dollars a week for repeating
lines that another person has written,when
the scholarly, eloquent divine, whose life
has been passed in study, cannot draw a
house big enough to pay him a frugal liv-
ing. Who can accountfor the fact thata
girl Who can kick high is able to draw
$500.3 week, while the good woman who
goes about as a missionary, reforming the
vicious, is thrown a quarter to get rid of
her, often by the same men who pay $1
toward the salary of the high kicker. It
is hard to account for thefact that a horse
race will clear $1,000 in one day, while a
churchfair. which should be patronized
by thousands, figures up enough, after a
week’s hard work, to pay for a dressing-
gown for the minister. There is some-
thing terribly wrongabout this world, but
We can’t untangle it. If we had our way
the prize fighters should play to houses
smaller than the prayer meetings, and the
ministers should preach to full houses at a
dollar a head, tickets sold at the box of-
fice, and it would be necessary to hang
out a sign. “standing roomonly,” and no
bell should ring to call the :audiencesland
to kill sicklbabies in an adjoining block.
We would have ministers travel in private
cars, and nigger shows travel in ordinary
passenger coaches. We would have the
horse race just pay expenses, and the
church sociable make a barrel of money.
But some of the rest. of you have got to
fix this thing, and average it up. We
have tried it and failed—Exchange.

of the kirk having found a little boy and .
his sister playing marbles on Sunday put
his reproof in this form—not a judicious
one for a child: “Boy. do you know
where children go to who play marbles on

“they gang down to the field by the water

older, “they go to hell and are burned."
