It Is n good thing for men to pay atten

I tried copper-toed boots on my heir.
The cupper woro well, nnd I Imvo nn iden
that copper boolo would lie n good Idea,
but I could'ut find u inetolic chodunker to
earry it out.
Mrs.O'L. nlso liccnme nttaelied'to cop

but wc Imvn't tritd It jet.

Tliis wus the origin of the iciin.

Theinisirclrs, out of miie when I have
ilono witli the in. He can wtpr out .time
to my one, ordinarily, and I have to wrai
out my clothes faster now to lucp him tup
plied.
I onco suggested that It might be wlth-J
in the resources of art nnd Industry to
mako him n new pair out of new material.
Mrs. O'L. said positively it couldn't be
done. It would ruin us, riio concluded by
saying it was cheaper to cut up n pair I
paid twelve dollars for.
I eubstqucntly found on enquiry that the
cloth for the purpose would cost about two
dollars.
I ventured to tell Mrs. O'L. of it.expect
Inj? a triumph of foresight over feuiule
lack ol iudement,
Sho gavo mo a look of scorn os she nsk-j
cd me if I had enquired the price or trim
inings.
Trimmings, I supppose means buttons
and tilings.
In addition to clothes the scion of our
houo runs up other expenses.
But what is the expense compared to
tho joy a futher feels, when after a day or
laborious exercise at tha office wrestling
with n steel pen, he returns to bis domestic
retreot, and is met at the gate by a smil
ing cherubim, who i.n tones that go to (ho
fond parent's heart, nnd wakes him forgets
his troubles, and meets hira with
'Hailo, pa, give men penny!"
Your hand instinctively goes down to
tho seat of your offections, your pocket,
nnd draws forth tho coveted coin, which is
promptly favesled in molasses candy.

with Indescribable Interest nt nn acre of

is something remarkable about my trees.
I have n rrnseof property In ccry sunset
over my own hills, and there h pcrpelunl
pleasure In sight of that plowing landscape
nt my own door. I lmve found ten acres
enough; and 1 know well what pleasures,
interests nnd compensations nre to be
found in the little n (lairs of llmt limited
tract. The windows of the snug library,
Into which I retire in Winter, looked out
across the gnrdin on the blank gable of
my barn. WJicn I owic here it was
rough and unrightly, but now thnt homely
gatb is a blank tin longer. Kvery inch Is
clustered over with climbing roe, homy

nunl granary the snow bltds come in flock
to gather -seeds iu AVInlcr. Though 1
could not npirc to being n gcntlttnnu far
mer, seeing that I came to make my for
tune, not to spuid one, jet I havo sought
to make fanning n sort of social science, in
which not only the hrud nnd hands could
be employed, but tl.c sympathies of the
heart enlarged and rlcvattd. In short to
establish n home for the family.
. 1 desire no association with the man or
boy who would wantonly kill the birds
that sing so chfcilnlly nrnund our dwell

up the mtmory of the gutik'ti of his Infan

Itcv. Ur. Adams, of Philadelphia, in his
recent Thanksgiving dlscnun-e, croaking of
an enrly mnrnlng call upon Mr. Lincoln,
muije tlic following tlulnnent :

He said I could not. 'Hut I have nn en

what hour'? 'At five o'clock.' 'Will.sir,
he will see vou at live.' I then walked toJ
and fro for a few minutes, nnd hearing a

the servant! 'Who is talking in the oth

anybody- with lilm ?' 'No, sir, lie is rend
Ing the Itlbie.' 'Is thnt his habit so early
in the morning?' 'Yes, sir, lie spend
every morning from four o'clock to five, In
reading the Scripture ond praying,"

Tlic editor of the JJgtantint says: The
girls in Connecticut, who nro remarkable
for industry, drink a pot of yeast before
going to bed, to make them n, early iu
the morning.
"Why docs father icall mother honcjj"
asked a boy of his older brother. "Can't
tell unless Its because she has a comb in
her head."

Because they have tanned the whole

Alitor 1IUAI31EUS!
A corrrpondent of tlic A. 1". Tribune,
with Sherman In IiIr mnrch through tlic
Carolinas, describis ns foliows nn enter
prising class of foragers known In the nr
my ns 'bummers," "smoke-house rangers,"
nnd "do boys:"
A bummer is nn indiridnal who by fa
vor of a wngon-mastcf becomes posmsed of
n broken down mule, or else start, if need
!p. on foot in cither case, of course nrmetl
w!l!i Ids mnket. He make his way into
the enemy's country, finds horses in num-
supplies he can find In the nearest houv,
mmint his negrors on the rvst of the hor
ses. and returns with his spoil. He never
objects to gold watches or silver plate "if
he can find them In n swnmp n mile from
cny house." Theo men wrro straggler,
not In rear but in front of the army, and
they went bifore It like n cloud, being of
ten twenty or thirty miles in ndvnnee of
the head ol the column. They would fiirhl
anything. Three "hummers" togrthcr
would attack n company or rebel cavalry,
and in fsvorable circumstances would dls
perse them nnd capture their booty.
With the rscoption of Columbia nlnne,
every town in South Carolina through
wliicli the urmy pased wire first mitred
by the "bummers." At Chesterfield they
were two days and ix half nliend of the nr
my, the whole corp having congregated nt
this point. Tliey rigged up two log of
cannon, sent n fljg ahead Into the town,
which wni occupied by a detachment of
HutlerV division of cavalry, deinnded Its
surrender, frightened eff the rebel cavalry
ond tntcred the town In grand procession
of broken down mulei, ragged "bummers,"
and the "Quaker guns." The cnat-lnils of
tlic rebel disappeared nt one end of the
town ns the "do boys" entered at the other.
When the army was marching toward
Midway, ai obove . described, n smoke
houso rungcr wus seen ruriiing toward'
thr front, with an old bit of carpet on IiU
mule for a blanket, nnd a couple of ropes
with nooses for stirrup, In which his feet
rested. TliN hero como milling up, to
Gen. Howard, nnd shouted out: "Ornrr
al, the bummers havo tskrn the rnllnml.
and are In lino of battle, fighting tn hold it,
and If you'll only hurry up, I think they'll
hold It." The General did hurry up, nnd
found tho railroad, a tho smoke rangrr
had said, in posenn of about seven
bummers, who wero' burily engaged skirm
lulling at long range with a detachment of
Wheeler's cavalry.
Tiik Oregon IUimioad Iln.t,. Tills
measure, which wo supposed had pn'cd,
seems to have foiled. The JUilktm attrib
utes Its failure to Conness nud scores htm
as follows:
"A bill granting ten sections of land per
mile nlnng the route or the Oregon nnd
Culifnrniu railroad, to aid in the construe
tlon or that enterprise, which hns heen uns
drlnkni by companies in both tho Stairs
numed, wns iuliodueed by Congressman
Cole In the House of Keprouiialh'rs. ut
ll.c lust session of Congress. Wuriiinginn
telegrams nnd correspondence here led In
tho belief that Jhc bill had pnstd the or
deal of bolli House! lied become a law;
but It seems this wus mi error. It pussed
the Houso with difiiculiy, though ot'u lute
diy In Ihosisdon.nnd 'would easily have
pitinl the Senate ond bieome a law but
fur the unwillingness of Mr. Conness to
lake bold ofil, as itqu'-tlnl nt an turly
dny, and havo it reported upon by the pro
per committee, so that It could b acted
upon Immediately on coming from the
Houso. Tho only reason assigned by Mr
Conness for refusing lo Interest himself In
the matter, os we arc Informed by good
aiiihnritj', wus that he did not wish tn have
anything to do with a measure originating
with Mr. Cole, whom he regurds with n
juandl(d cjv. It is not creditable to the
Si nntor llrat ho ullows his pergonal uniujos
ities ni.d jiolousies tn Interfere with the
performance of his public duty. Thy poss
ogoof this bill was aikul for by the joint
resolutions of the California nnd Oregon
legist-lure?, and would have secured the
corly commencement of railroad at the
two termini! of tho route, for capitullsts
here and at tho J'ist had taken an interest
in the project, nnd were only wailing the
extension of public aid. The Oregon Leg
islature had expressed its scum: of I lie Im
portnnco of tho proposed improvement by
enacting a law which. provides for levying
n tax of one mill on the dollar on all prop
perty in the State, whlcli will realize about
810,000 per annum, to be applied to tho
payment of interest on the construction
bonds of the company which has In charge
the Oregon half of the work. The meusure
will be presented to the next Congress,
when it is to be hoped Its friends will
trust its fate in the Senate tD other hands
thau those of u Senator with whom an un
reasonable private grudge has more ioflu
ence than considerations of public policy

Such wnathc advertisement that arrest
ed my attention ns I was ltt!csstv glanc
ing down the columns of tlic daily paper
I held In my hard. What nn unpleasant
day it wa ! The streets, under n drench
ing ruin, were deserted, save by a few pe
deslrtnns, who, kept admit! by nccrsily,
cnmestrngcling-nlong, looking particular
ly miserable. I had rxhanled every
solircc ol nmtwmcnt, rend mull my head
nrhtil, practiced nil my new music, nnd nt
lnt, tn n terrible fit of rnnue, had thrown
myself down on the sofa, nnd In despair
,(.!r.tl the paper, hoping to find something
to Interest me In that.
I do not, nnd never eliij, approve of mat
rimontnl adverttsrmenls; who then enn tell
what evil spirit prompted me to nnsurr
the above? llut so It was, nnd niter sev
eral nllempts and much waste of nolcpn-
per, I succeeded to my own satisfaction In
pf nntng n reply. Day paied nway, nnd
I had n1not forgotten the clrciinnlpnce,
when the arrival of n letter BihlreWd to
MWs Alice Dunbar (my nMim(tl usme) ro
cul'cd the affair to my mind.
I nm n llttlo particular on the subject of
letters: have a ileclihil nntlpllhy to cent
ed pink notepapcr nnd fancy tnvelope
with excrncintlng devices of arrow pierced
hearts and udipnso rapid'. Tlic missive 1
held in my hands wus perfectly free from
anything thnt could possible olTend the
mnsttfusltduous tnslc. The timing wn
n good substantial one, spotlessly white,
and the nddrrs was written in a bold, leg
iblo hnml, which immediately prepnssed me
in tho wrlicr'n favor. The content did
not bt-lie the exterior. The language wns
elegant, the orthography and composition
fuultles. Here, I suppne, I should have
dropped tho corn spnndf nee nt once nnd
forever, but the trmptntlon wis too great
to bo rrstste-d, and in it happened that
many letter were exchanged between u,
and I teamed to wntch nnxloii'ly f-r the
arrival of those Interesting tpiitlr. thnt
never deviated from the manly style In
which the flf-sl wa written. He did not
fill his letters with n dissertation on love,
that would hare disgustrd me Immediately;
but there was a huppy mixture or Ilia all
important snbjccl with tho latest new of
ihe day, criticisms on popular authors, chll
rhat nbout tho opera, drama, etc., and,
nboo nil, n tone of patriotism nnd de-vo
iiuii to the good old flag that won my
heart morn tliiin anything else, Need 1
lell how deeply lull rested I became In my
unknown friend? how much I llinuuht of
him during the tiny, nnd even foolUhly
Jreamiil of him nt night ?
At length he became anxious loscehl
correspondent, nnd the dt sire wns mutual,
n Hireling was appointed at tho house of
the Mend who hud kindly received all my
teller. For dny before tho even'ful oc-e-urirnre
I was out or the most rjjtleti
ni'itluls that ever Inhabited this mundjne
sphere. Ilelng t-xtremly desirous or mak
ing a r.ivornblu lmpresloii, my ugly Utile
plus appeared tn mo uglier than ever, and
no nnu can tell wih what frellns ol con
ttruatlnn I wulehid Ihe growth of nn at-
mot Invisible pimple that most Inoppor
inoely made its appearance ot tho end of
my noie.
At last the day ramp, nnd in my friend'
own room I nwulted hi coming. I'niuil
ly the lull rung, und shortly nftir Iheeer
vunl, previously insirueied, announced l.i
arrival. Tnmbllnjily I descended the
statis, and puu.ing un Instant at the par
lor door to recover my composure, tumid
ihe knob und e nil rid. The heavy eurluln.
were paitlallj' dropped oer the windows,
having the room in u sort of delicious Iwi
light. Jmt-list? thing for such a meeting,
My unknown friend ) ad not heard my en
trance, und stood with his elbow resting
n Ihe niJnlli-pircc, exemlning n palming
which hung aboio It. Hoim thing in the
cureless grace of Ihe attitude struek me w
fdiiillliur, but before-1 had time lo comment
upon It, seme slight sound I ipadu In ud
vunclng attracted Ids attention, and turn
ing round he upproached me with ex Undid
hand. 1 gave him mine, and timidly rais
ing my e-yta to Id fuce, met the well
known blue orbs or my uncle !
For n moment we were so overwhelmed
with nstonlthment that neither uttered a
word; but when wo portlully recovered
from our bewilderment nnd the realization
of our absurdly ludicrous position burst
full upon us, what ringing peul of laugh
ter echoed and reechoed through thoe
rooms, white, through It oil, tears of vex
ation nnd difappoin'ment filled myryti.
How suddenly tny beautiful air-castles
hud fudeJ into nothingness I Of course
there was nothing' left for It but. to uke
up our "line of march" for the parental
loof, which, after mutual confessions, we
accprdiugly did, feeling exemively foojish,
but thoroughly cured of any ptnehant for
matrimonial advertisements.
