He came into the office of a West End ndertaker the other day with a look of great care on his honest taue. His eyes were heavy and slightly bloodshot, tell ing of nightly vigils and loss of sleep. His hair was unkempt and shaggy. The soft-hearted man of coffins looked upon his visitor with a gaze full of pity and thankfullrtess pity for the customer's loss and thankfullness for his patronage. He was so young to be burdened by the loss of a dear oue by death. The manufacturer of burial cases nod ded a silent assent and condoling recog nition ; the young man from the country said, " How d'ye do? " Then ensued a painful silence, broken at length by the man of grave business. " Can I do anything for vou to-day air?" " Well, I reckon so, stranger ! " Another silence. Once more the un dertaker began by suggesting : Your sister ? " Young man stared a moment, then, as a light gradually broke in upon his per plexed mind, be smiled more suggestive of sorrow than happiness, and replied : " No mv wife." "Sudden?" " No expected su'thum of the kind for several months." - "When did it happen?" " 'Bout four o'clock this morning." "Looks natural?" " Rather." (Spoken carefully and ex pressive of some doubt.) " About what do you want the cost of the coffin to be?" " Don't care for expense ; get it up kinder nice. ID! treat her handsum, cause she is the rirsrone I ever had." " Very well, my friend ; you'll have it lined with white satin, I suppose?" " Just as vou sav. stranger." " Silver-headed screws' too, I srppose? ". " Y-a-a-s, I s'pose so. An', stranger, jest put a bully top to't." " Uf course ; ana you'll want a glass in it, also, I suppose? " "Y-a-a-8 Oh, certainly you bet. Git her up sniptious, you know, old fellow. None of your dratted one-hos8 fixins for me. No, sir'ee." Just so. Silver handles of course ? " " Eh ! What's thet you say, stranger silver handles? Oh, durn it, now, won't that be Dilin' it on too hefty like ? I kin stand silver screws and sich, but there's no use makin' the hull tarnation trap ot silver. The thing has to be moved and must have handles, but 1 ain't quite so stuck up as thet now net quite, stranger." Very well, acquiesced the man oi oo sequies, " I'll put ordinary haudles on it, then." " Eggs-actlv them's 'em mister ; now yer talkin.' Ord'nary handles'!! do. But 1 say, stranger, ( reflectively) mane me wheels glisten like thunder.' " Wh-wh-wheels?" " Yes, wheels. What's ther matter with you, anyhow?" Hut whoever heard oi wneeis to a coffin ? " " Coffin ! " shrieked the dejected-look-ingyoungman. " Coffin? Now, who the dickens said anything about coffins?" " Why, don't you want a coffin ? 1 " No-o ! I want a cradle a trap to rock my new baby in." And isn't vour wife dead ?" " Not by a "jugfull. Don't you make cradles for sale ? " No, my friend, I am an undertaker." " Undertaker of what ? " " I make coffins." " Oh. Lord, let me catch that feller that sent me here." And the grief-stricken youth crammed his hat ever his eyes, ran his hands deep down in the pockets of his trousers, and pounced out on the street, searching for vengeance. Seatness In Farming. " Order" is said to be " heaven's first law," and neatness is nearly allied to it, so it may be safe to conclude that if a man is orderly on the farm, he is also neat. This idea of neatness in working in the dirt and filth seems paradoxical at first, but tidiness and beauty spring from the earth in the form of flowers, and the variagated landscape. A nice writer on this topic says : Nothing gives evidence of thrift and enterprise in farming better than keeping everything in order. There are times when even the most painstaking men are compelled to let things go somewhat at loose ends, but upon the first occasion of spare time and due diligence thereafter, the wonted appearance of things about the premises returns. At the cost of a lit tle time and labor when required, an ap pearance of an untidy farm may be so improved as to add considerably to its value, and the price obtained in the event of its sale. The contrast between neat and slovenly kept farms represents more in a pecniuiary point of view, very often, than is generally supposed. Take a farm which by its appearance shows clear culture, from which stumps and bushes have been removed, the buildings kept in repair, the fences and gates in order, the rubbish kept from the road side and fence corners, the tools housed when not in use and the stock exhibiting evidences of good care and attention, and in the event of its purchase it will bring relatively much more than one equally fertile, but kept in a slovenly way. Weedy fields, tumbledown fence gates, gates with broken hinges, buildiugs out of repair, implements scattered about the farm where used last, rubbish everywhere, and inferior looking stock, take from a farm naturally fertile a good round sum in the event of a sale. The annual reunion of the Society of the Burnside .Expedition and tne nimi! Array Corps will be held in Albany, ou Tuesday, June 17th. " Prisoner at the bar," said the judge, " is there anything you wish to say be fore sentence is passed upon you ? " The prisoner looked wistfully toward the door and remarked that he would like to say " good evening," if it was agreeable to the company. The ceremonies of relaying the corner stone of Washington's headquarters took place on the 19th at Valley Forge in the presence of a great many people. In the absence of Senator Bayard, an ad dress was delivered by ex-Uovernor Jfoi lock. A Patriotic Plea. llntervlew with Col. T. T. Crittenden, of War rensbure. 1 Andrew Johnson, then a refugee at Camp JJick Kobinson, near JJanville, Kv.. came to Lexington, Ky., in the summer of 1861 to make a speech against the evils of secession. It had been announced for days preceding that the speech would be made at the Opera House. The city was filled with cultivated and elite citizens of that unsurpassed country. John Morgan, the famous raider, was then organizing his regiment at Lexington. The secession spirit was wild with anticipated success of its cause. At the appointed hour the Op era House was crowded almost to suffoca tion with ladies and gentlemen with those clinging to the Union with unshak en affection, with those undecided where to cast their lot, with those filled with the idea of a new government and a new or der of things. Mr. Johnson entered the hall from the .front, accompanied by a few friends, looking every inch a man. He was then in the prime of life and beau ty of a well-developed manhood, like Paul of old, stood ready to offer up his life in defense of the hope and faith that pos sessed him. As he entered the house a shout went up from friend and foe, be cause all Raw at once in the man that wonderful power and magnet ism which made him the pride of Tennessee and the acknowledged friend of the people. There was something grand in every step that he took. Threats had been made on the -streets of the city that day by young rebel spirits that Mr. John sou should not deliver a Union speech on that occasion ; others declared that, he should both sides were armed more oi less. There was a dread in the minds of the more prudent of both sides that a "bloody drama" was imminent. Mr. Johnson saw at once the danger surround ing the occasion, and with a masterly stroke quickly qureted the surging, ex cited throng of people, with the following happy introduction: "I stand to-day a refugee from home, from my adopted State, in whose councils I have stood as a tribute of the people, from my loved wife and children, and have sought a tempor ary home in the grand old State of Ken tucky, in the historic city ot Lex ington, under the shadow of that monument which stands in memo riam of the grandest man the world ever saw! Kentucky was the fit home of a Clay, and Clay was the true nepresenta tive of such a State. Monuments of tnar bel are not necessary to perpetuate their glory. They are a part of the history of our common country, and will only be forgotten when we lellow-citizens snail forget the glory of that countrv. I am here to speak in behalf of that countrv one and inseparable just as our forefath ers made it just as our Clay preserved it in the compromise measure of 1850, when he said: "I may be asked, as I have been asked, when I am for the dissolution of this Union. I answer, never ! never!! never!!!" So say I, my countrymen ! May I, Kentuckians, the friends, neighbors and constituents of such a man, give my reasons to-day why this Union should be preserved, why war, the last alternative of civilization, should be avoided ! Shall I be heard tor my cause, even by the brave and gallant men who are to-day putting on the harness of war under an excite ment that will yet make many homes desolate, make many hearts weep over stricken loved ones! Brave men are brave on all occasions ; no more afraid of free speech than of free combat. Cowards suppress the one and flee from the other! Shall I be heard?" At this point Col. Tom Buford, who had just assassinated Judge Elliott at Frankfort, Ky., moved from his seat to the aisle facing the speaker, and said : " Go on, Mr. Johnson, you shall be heard to-day in behalf of the Union. Kentuckians love a brave man wherever found and under all circum stances." Suffice to say that the elo quence of the orator and the response of the auditor abated all uneasiness in the minds of the fair women and brave men, and the crowd listened with eagerness to the plea of the great natural orator for more than two hours. Few such speeches have ever been made. It was enough within itself to have immortalized him. It was a grand plea for peace, harmony, home and country. Subsequent history has fully verified his brave words. When he said : " I am done. God bless Ken tucky! God bless our whole land!" a wild burst of applause was heard from that great mixed crowd of Union men and Secessionists. Andrew Johnson entered that hall a stranger and left a hero. Human Thorns. There are certain disagreeable people in this world who seem to take a special delight in annoying others by reminding them of things they would willingly for get. They are human thorns, forever torturing their fellow-men for the sake of torture. Has a man met with misfor tune in his business, they are forever recalling the fact. Has a man in times that are gone wandered into devious paths they are forever reminding him of it by congratulating him that it is past. Has a man blundered, they are forever telling him what "might have been." When the Thorn is of the masculine gen der, there is one way of getting relief. He can be knocked down and taught manners. When the Thorn is of the fem inine gender, the case is different and not so easily disposed of. But Causeur hears of one such scourge in petticoats who got her deserts the other evening. It was a little party where a score of people were gathered together. The Thorn sat near a young man who, in days gone by, bad been guilty of follies that cost him dearly. He had put them all behind him. But the Thorn took occasion to recall them in a subdued and confiden tial tone. The victim, who had been subjected to the same torture before, spoke up so that all could hear. "Madam," he said, "for five years I have been trying to forget all that. You have been trying to remember it. You have succeeded better than I. I con gratulate you." The Thorn subsided. jtsoston Transcript.

The other day a muscular young" fel low, having an odor of the stables about him, entered a Detroit photographer's camuiiDuuieiii, auu explained mat ne would like to get about one photograph taken, but on learning the price, he con cluded to invest in a tin-type. After taking his seat in the chair, he shut up one eye, drew his mouth around one side, stuck up his nose, and patiently waited for the operator, whose astonish ment caused him to exclaim : " Good gracious ! but you don't want to look that way to get a picture. Nobody will know you from Sitting Bull." " You go ahead," was the reply. " Do you want me to take such a phiz as that?" " I do." The artist took it. It beat Sol Smith Russel all to pieces, and was highly satis actory to the sitter, who paid for it and aid : " You see, I had a sort of object in this. Come clear here from Allegan county, six months ago engaged to a gal out there found a gal here I like better got to sever old ties see ? " " But what has that picture got to do with old ties ? " asked the artist. " Lots heaps ! I've writ to her that I was blown up here on a boat and dis figured for life. She's awful proud. When she sets this' and sees how that explosion wrecked me, she'll hunt another lover quicker'n wink see ? How do you like the plot? Just gaze on this picture once and tell me Mary Ann won't send back my love letters by the first train?" He posted the picture. The letter was brief, but explained it all, It said : " My Ewer Dear Girl : " I incloze my pickture that you may see how offol bad I was hurt, tho I know you will luv me iust the same." " Ever see that game before ? " he asked of the artist, as he licked the stamp on the letter. " No never did." " Course you never did. It's mine. It struck me the other day while I was greasin' a wagon, and 1 think it's boss. Blowed up see ? Disfigured for life see .'

And all the evening the lady went scrib bling " Isabella Montgomery," and Mrs. Herbert Montgomery," and" so on over her blotting-pad, and she went to sleep to dream that Cupid, with a pair of blinkers over his eyes, smiled upon her nay, burst into a horse-laugh while marriage bells chimed in the distance, and Herbert Montgomery underwent a transformation scene into a Lord with $400,000 a year. And her wily father smiled, too, as he sought his couch.for Herbert Montgomery is fifty-eight years old and has a wife and seven children. Chicago Tribune. Wanted Something Useless. Gentlemen, whose wives, sisters, cous ins and aunts are strongly addicted to the practice of making six or eight Christmases a year by fanatical celebra tion of birthdays, anniversaries of wed dings, and other notable domestic events, have been known, under financial' pressure, to resort to the contemptible subterfuge of offering presents, various useful articles for household, table, or personal use, which would naturally come of themselves if there were no gift offerings thought of. Sometimes the family unanimously practice this little game, and actually feel that common necessities are somehow invested with new value by the operation. But there are others, doubtless, who look at the practice in another light, and like the little h rench girl would like a change oc casionally. This young lady, it is re lated, was in the habit of receiving from the prudent father every holiday a use ful gilt, like a dress, or a hat, or a pair of fine boots. "Pa," finally said the lit tle one, "my birthday comes next week. If you love me and think I have been a real good girl, you might give me some thing that's useless." A Plucky Act In Horsemanship. The Boston Gazette says : The late Mr. Bacon, whose murder has recently been announced, was a remarkable horseman, and his coolness and courage in all that related to such matters were well known by all his friends A thrilling incident is related in regard to Mr. Bacon's nerve and horsemanship. Two or three years ago Mr. Bacon was riding through Long wood one afternoon as a tempest was gathering, and lis quickened his horse's eait, in hopes of reaching home before it should break upon him. At a short dis tance from where he was he observed a lady and gentleman also on horseback, coming along at a furious pace ; he also noticed that the lady's horse was much frightened, and her escort powerless to aid her, when a crash of thunder started the creature on the full run. Mr. Bacon dashed after the party. A terrific gust of wind seized the lady's habit and envel oped her head in its blinding folds ; her horse pushed on, mad with terror, Mr. Bacon spurring his own in swift pursuit. The storm was now terrible, wind, dust, thunder and lightning all at once : but Mr. Bacon managed to guide himself through tne darkness directly beside the young lady, and, while throwing his arm firmly about her waist, shouted for her te release her foot from the stirrup, snatched her from the saddle, and held her fast, in a dead faint, by his side, while the mad dened horse flew before the wind into the city. How aristocratically nice must a sal mon feel as he swims along in company with an insignificant and boneful shad, when he considers that he is worth sixty cents a pound, and his fellow tinner only Dimes seven in tne market: but the shad j would command a higher price as old I bones. New Haven Register. Marriage. Correspondence Detroit Free Press. Many a young lady thinks because she has bad an advantageous offer of marriage she ought to accept it. She " doesn't love him, but she respects him," and she has been advised by her friends that " it is better to marry a man you respect and learn to love him, than to marry a man you love and learn to hate him." She has had this dinned into her ears as many times as she is days old nearly, and almost learns to think that hating a man is a natural sequence of love. Bespect is very well ; one should have that any way, but it does not take the place of affection. Love should precede as well as follow mat rimony. But suppose subsequent to mar riage it is awakened for the first time in a wife, what then? If you don't love, don't marry. The connubial yoke sets easy in the shoulders of love, but it is most gall ing without this and only sufficient sup port. A man's first necessity in looking for a wife, is to find oue cheerful, one who makes a good, loving, cheerful daughter and sister ; but above all, one who is phys ically able to support the cares and duties which attend that position. Does the young lady who is too weak to sweep her own room, do her own work and sewing, think that any sensible young man is go ing to ask her-to be bis wife? Some young men who are not sensible may, but what a broken reed she will be to lean upon when misfortune or trouble comes. Young men are fast learning wisdom, and find finding that a pretty face and form and showy accomplishment do not make the coming wife. Girls are fast learning . it too, and show their willingness to learn by the large attendance at the cooking and sewing schools of the Eastern cities. Many WEALMY YOUNG LAOIES Serve an apprenticeship in both millinery and dressmaking and make their own dresses and bonnets. The better educated they are in different branches, the better taste and common sense they bring to bear on the particular branch they wish to excel in. Did any of you ever notice the difference between the educated and uneducated housekeeper? The one brings all her intelligence to bear upon her work, the other works with a stolidness that betrays her sluggish brain. If all servant girls were educated, one would save money even at a higher rate of wages than to employ uneducated women. " Each human being would thrive best under the fullest culture and liberty to grow." Some girls will not marry a me chanic. 1 think a man ol large body and brain, honest and industrious, is much to be preferred to a kid-gloved young man who sports a cane, mustache, nobby suit of clothes and nothing else. A girl might better take to her affections a callous-handed, industrious mechanic, hop ing, with study and her aid, he might make his way up to be a designer or man ufacturer, as the years passed by. What too. impedes marriage, is the vanity of young men. They, as much as the girls, want to " live in style." " No man can serve two masters," and the noble, loving girl must stand one side unloved, while tho yonng man worships the pocKet-oooK and waits ror me Dans account lengthen. They yearly spend as much on dress and their private luxuries as would comfortably support two in a cozy, cheery home. The world is mil oi Dngnt, nne looking, educated, industrious girls, who can dress on $100 a year, and "who would be as faithful as Peulope, and love a cot tage as never Queen loved palace," but the same world is full of men who attend theaters (alone) night after night, smoke costly cigars, drive a fast horse, belong to the boat and ball club, but "can't afford to marry." NEVER SINCE THE WL90D I have dated that back far enough to avoid controversy as to dates have there been better, more sensible, practical girls than to-day. They dress well, even hand somely but how, only the girls know. They don't go around the world pleading their poverty, their make-shifts, and I honor them lor it. l detest tnese people who are always groaning in spirit over their poverty or misfortunes. Even the daughters of wealthy parents who have hardly had a wish ungratified, marry poor men and make the bravest, cheer iest little wives possible. Why? because they married a man worthy of their efforts. A German philosopher says that in asociety where the men are uneducated and immoral, the women will be more so, as women are what men make them, and in turn, men are reacted upon by their own molding of women. In that society, continues the philosopher, where the men are industrious and brain-developed, the women are more sincere and reasona ble. Therefore man may take his own share of wrong in human affairs. An other trouble is, "we marry too young." This especially applies to the women por tion of society. American men seem to be infatuated to marry girls not out of their teens. Before she has hardly real ized her womanhood and is just begin ning to learn the shades of life, she is married ; after that, as her nature keeps growing, his, to, they find much incom patibility in their union. A woman changes rapidly from twenty to twenty five ; Tier ideas and opinions almost turn a revolution and what satisfied her at eighteen is not at all to her taste at twenty-five. If women married at twenty five and men at thirty, there would be more happiness In the world, and the nation would be given a new race of men and women, stronger, physically and men tally ; for all know that the stronger the parents the better the race of children. Many marry for money. Sometimes one is deceived ; sometimes both ; but these are cold, loveless, of which both heartly repent. Love's Ingenuity. A couple, not one hundred miles from Manchester, carried on their courtship in rather a novel manner. A young man had fallen in love with the daughter of his employer; but from certain ideas of wealth, a match was opposed by the father. The consequence was, that the young man was forbidden to visit his employer's house. The old gentleman was in the habit of wearing a cloak, and the young couple made him the bearer of their correspondence.
