LOVE IS BEST.
Three travelers met in Bran.ier Pa-,
By the bubbling Brander Spring ;
They shared their cake and their venison,
And they talked of many a thing
Of books, of song, and foreign lands,
Of strange and wandering lives,
And by and by, in softer tones,
They spoke of their homes and wives.
"I married the Ladv o' Logan Brae,"
Said one, with a lofty air;
"There isna in a' in the North countrea
A house wi' a better share
Of gold ami gear, and hill and lock,
Of houses and farms to rent ;
There's many a man has envied me.
And I'm niair than weel content."
"Dream of a woman as bright as day,"
The second traveler said;
"Dream of a form of perfect grace,
Of a noble face and bead.
Of eyes tliat are as blue as Heaven,
Of flowing nut-brown hair;
That is my wife, and, though not rich,
Oh, she is wondrous fair: '
The third one said: "I have a wife,
She is neither rich nor fair;
She has not gold, nor gear, nor land,
Nora wealth of nut-brown hair;
But, oh! she loves me! and her love
Has stood through every test.
Beautv and gold are good but, friends,
We know that love is best.'
They filled their cups in the spring again,
And they said, right heartily :
"Here's to the loving, faithf ul wife,
Wherever her home may be:'
And soon they took their different way,
One thought in each man's breast ;
"Beauty is gxxl. and gold is good,
But a true love is the best."
Amendlns the Verdict.
Detroit Free Press.
The train was just entcrini; Krin. Tcim.,
when we heard the sharp toot: toot! of the
whistle, and such passengers as looked
from the windows saw an aged African with
a bundle over his shoulder straight ahead
on the track. The whistle was blown and
the bell rung, but he paid no attention,
and all of sudden the cowcatcher picked
him up and flung him fifty feet to one
hide. A gang of men brought the body to
the depoC and among the dozen of us who
stopped off at the village a coroner's jury
was selected. It seemed a plain case. The
man came to his death by being struck by
a locomotive on the Louisville fc Nash
ville road. Such was the verdict rendered,
but no sooner was it announced than the
coroner observed:
"Gentlemen, return and amend your
verdict. You haven't said anything about
carelessness. "
We returned to the room and amended
by adding that the engineer was blameless
in the case, and the coroner received us
with:
"Very good, gentlemen. so far as it
goes, but the man was probably deaf, and
it would be well to amend the verdict ac
cordingly. "We went back and amended to make
the victim as deaf as a hitchiug-post, but we
were not through yet.
"You haven't "got the name of the
county in your report, and you don't say
whether it was a freight or passenger
train," observed the coroner.
We returned to the room for another
tussle, and were just congratulating our
selves on having everything ship-shape,
when the coroner put "his head into the
door-way and called out:
"Gentlemen, amend your verdic! The
confounded nigger has come to life !"
And when we rushed out to the freight
house he was sitting up ou end and asking
if anybody had seen his bundle.
Playing luder Difficulties.
Cor. Milwaukee Sentinel.
At Missoula, Baadmann, the tragedian,
with his company, came on the train. He
is introducing the legitimate drama in these
western wildernesses, and had presented
"Xarcisse, " "Othello, " and "Hamlet" to
the wondering cowboys of the mountains
at Missoula. He was" not quite satisfied
with the Missoulan dramatic editor's arli
lce on "Hamlet, " in which Ophelia was
characterized as a serio comic character,
and he gave an amusing account of
the Missoulan "opera house." It has
a stage, but no dressing-rooms, and the
company were obliged to use dressing
rooms across the street in the rear of the
opera house, and walk through an admir
ing out-of-door crowd in all their theatrical
toggerv to reach the stage. The night
that "Ilarnlet" was produced there was a
heavy rain, and "the buried majesty of
Denmark," armed in complete steel, or
Ophelia, with "fantastic garlands of crow
flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples,"
tscudding across the street under an um
brella, was a spectacle highly interesting
to the small boys of Missoula who couldn't
raise the funds to get inside the theatre,
and excited their rapturous applause.
Publisher and Printers of 17SO.

Of English newspapers we read, "in the
year 1780, in London, alone, Go.OOO were

defeated the attempt made by the govern
ment to discover who a Junius" was. The
captain says: "It i3 not at all uncommon
to see a printer put in the pillory or
dragged to jail, " and although by naming
theuthor they .would escape these indig
nities they never did so without his con
bent. "The I'ev. Mr. Home Tooke, curate
of Brentford, was so generous as to avow
himself on an occasion of this kind in the
y ear 1778. " Our author once saw a
printer in the pillory surrounded and pro
tected by a countless multitude of people,
who cheered him and crowned him with
farlands and flowers, and gave him re
reshment, putting it into his mouth, as
his hands were fastened. Persons of rank
stood by and talked familiarly to him with
cheering and encouraging words.
Though tKeadlii.
Mr. Labourchere, M. P., in a let
ter to Mr. Stuart Cumberland, has
the following to say concerning
mind-reading: "Your explanation of
thought-reading so called was very in
teresting. As 1 had always supposed it to
be, it is the perception of a thought in the
mind of a subject by watching carefully its
effect upon his muscles. In order to suc
ceed, it is, of course, necessary for the op
erator to have trained himself to note these
physical indications. I am glad that 3-011
are engaged in dispelling the nonsense
which surrounded the experiments, and
that you are proving that you can equal
the mystic powers of the quacks who have
hitherto made money out of fools, while at
tho same time jou are able to give a nat
ural and reasonable explanation of what
you perform.
A Feed and a Fuddle.
London Cor. Inter Ocean.)
Funerals in England are often niado
occasions of feasting and revelry. A
workinguaan observed in ray hearing
the other day that "he had many a time
had more fun at funerals than at wed
dings." "What do you mean bv fan?"
I asked. "Oh, a feed and a fuddle,"
was his reply ; in other words, plenty
to eat and drink. Tho cus'.om of pro
viding a feast, and of treating the bear
ers to beer end liquors, is general
among the middle and lower classes.
This, of course, adds to the cost of
funerals, besides detracting from their
solemnity.

MARY COWDEN CLARKE.
I3iv Her "Shakespeare Concord
ance" Wan CTade.
A correspondent of The Boston Adver
tiser, writing of Mrs. Mary Cow-den
Clarke, says of her 4,shakcsHare Con
cordance:' "Like so many things, it owed its
genesis to a mere accident. It was in
July, 1829, when Mrs. Cowden Clarke
was sitting at the breakfast table of
some friends in Somersetshire, that re
gret was expressed that there existed no
concordance to Shakespeare, whose
works formed the bible of the intellect
ual world. Eager in everything, Mrs.
Cowden Clarke resolved then and there
that she would write this desired con
cordance, and that very forenoon, while
joining her friends in a walk through
the fields, she took with her a volume of
the Ket, and a pencil, and jotted down
the first lines of her book under B.
"Boatswain, have a care." (Temp. 1,
etc.).
"The following is an account she gave
me of the mode of writing she ultimately
adopted for this work: 'I had a separate
Iortfolio for each letter of the alphabet;
these portfolios were ranged around in
front of me on my writing table. I opened
my father's copy of Shakspeare at my
side, having two pages in view at a
time. I took the first word that pre
sented itself at the top of the first page
(we will suppose this word to begin with
"a"), and entered each word commenc
ing with same letter on the MS. page,
which was headed by tho word, and
placed it in its respective portfolio; go
ing thus alphabetically through the
whole of the two spread open pages,
until every salient word therein was
duly culled and registered. 1 generally
worked from four to six hours per day,
and always before and after breakfast
till dinner-time, so that the outside of
the house during those hours of the day
was little known to me. We usually
took our exercises and recreation of an
evening. Happy supremely were our
hours then! Side by side, one working
at his book, the other writing his
lectures on our poetic idol.'
"When she had got half way she wts
told that some other person was engaged
on the same task. Sadly, very sadly,
she packed up all her portfolios and ma
terials, resolved to abandon the task,
thinking with native modesty that the
unknown rival would surely do it better.
She told me that to this day she can re
call her feeling while kneeling on tho
floor and pushing away the large packet
under her bed for safe-keeping, for they
lived in small quarters then, and space
had to be economized. Joyful, very
joyful was she, when she could haul her
packet forth again. Some idea of the
vastne-ss of the undertaking may bo
gained from the circumstance that the
paper alone for the work cost over
5 pounds sterling. From this careful
study of Shakespeare resulted some ori
ginal works of which the most notable is
the 'Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines,'
in which with ingenuity and intuitive
imagination Mrs. Cowden Clarke has
striven to trace the probable antecedents
in the history of Shakespeare's women,
to conjecture what might have been the
first imperfect drawings of those whom
he has shown as in the meridian staga
of perfection. A bold venture, truly,
this series of fifteen tales, and only jus
tified by its wonderful success.''
When Cabby Was Beaten.
Chicago Herald.
Five hack men stood in the shac!e of
the court house listening with solemn
countenances to the narrative of Cabby
No. 207. The day was hot, but the ora
tor was bundled up very much the same
as he was last winter.
"The cabby wat never gets leat don't
live," says he. ''Now, I've draw'd many
a man, and some of them very fly men,
and many's the game I've blocked, do
you twig, but a feller got away with me
last night. I was a-standing down on
the corner about sundown, when I see
him a-sherrying across the street, and
savs he: 'Come on, Cabby, I want a
roil. 'All right,' says I, 'where to?'
Anywhere,' says he;" all over town.
Let's you and I have some fun.'' 'Have
you got any money? says I. 'Should
smile,' says he, showing a big wad.
Well, I climbed up and we took in the
boulevards and stopped at all the road
houses, and everywhere we stopped he
made me go in with him. We had wine
and vittals and cigars all night. Nobody
ever had o much fun with me in
my life as he did. Well, along toward
morning he says to me: 'Now I'mgoin'
home. I live near Lincoln park. You
just stop at Lincoln avenue and let me
out and I'll walk home from there.' I'd
got on the box and he and three or
four other fellows stood by the door. I
says, 'All right; jump in.' There was a
kind of rocking of the gig, like as if
some one was inside, and the door
slammed. The other fellers said 'Good
night,' and he said 'Good-night,' and as
I drove off I sung out, 'Good-night,'
and they all answered. On the way
through the north division I was athink
ing what I would charge him. He was
a mightv good feller and he treated me
well." Thinks 1 about $20 will be the
proper caper. When I got to Lincoln
avenue I got down to let him out, and
he wasn't there at all. Tho worst of it
is he hadn't been in there. He didn't
get in. He stood on the sidewalk with
those other fellers bidding me good-night
as I drove away like a chump to Lincoln
park. I'm pretty old to get sold on a
game of that kind, but there's no use
beefing about it."
"The Foreigners.'
Lippineott's Magazine.
One day Charlie came home from school
In a "state of mind. "
"What do you think of Monsieur Agjs,
one of the pions pions, told our class to
day?" he asked indignantly. "He told
them that the United States would have
been an English colony to-day but for the
French and Lafayette, and that French
was the principal language of the country,
being spoken both in Canada and New
Orleans. I rose in my seat to ask him if
he had nerer heard of George Washington;
to which he answered. 'Oh, yes, ash
ington was a brave man ; but it was the
French who beat the English.' "
Whereupon Charlie's mother told us a
little anecdote of her experience in Italy:
" You Americans have so much better
accent in speaking our language than the
English have, " said an Italian lady to her
one day. "I suppose it is lecauue an
Italian discovered you. "
In the Coke Regions.
Exchange.
Ex- Mayor Powderly, of Scranton, thus
describes one of the women who work in
the coke regions of Pennsylvania: "The
woman stood in the doorway and was
dressed In a rough, loose-fitting outer gar
ment and an apron. Her person from the
waist up was exposed. W hen she stooped
over to handle the coke, she caught her
hair between her teeth in order to Keen it
out of her way. Her feet were encased in
a pair of heavy shoes, and her legs were
exposed from the knees down. Her babe,
which she brought to the works with her,
lay in front of the car with scarcely any
covering except the shadow of a wheel
barrow, which was turned up In order to
protect the child from the rays of the tun. "
EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
Reeommcnded as a Positive Cure Tor
Sleeplessness by a Physician.
New York Mail and Express.
"Go home and eat a good .supper, that's
all the medicine you want," ami the medi
cal gentleman to whom a reporter had gone
for a nervine, a ' sedative or sleeping po
tion, opened the door to show hiin out.
"But. doctor, it's 11 o'clock at night!"
"Well, what of it? Oh, I see. The
popular prejudice against eating at night.
Let me tell you, my young friend, that
unless yt.ur stomach is out of order, it is
more In-in-lit to you to eat before going to
bed then it is haVniful. Food of a simple
kind induces sleep. At what hour did you
dine?"
"Six o'clock."
"Humph! Just what I thought. Six
o'clock. Fourteen hours between dinner
and your breakfast. Enough to keep any
man awake. By that time the fuel neces
sary to send the blood coursing through
your system is burned out. Animals sleep
instinctively after meals. Human beings
become drowsy after eating. Why?
Simply because "t he juices ueedeti in diges
tion are supplied by the blood being so
licited toward .the stomach. Thus the
brain receives less blood than during the
hours of fasting. and becoming
faler the powers grow dormant,
uvalids ' and those in delicate
health should always eat before going to
bed. The sinking sensation in sleepless
ness is a call for food. Wakefulness is
oftimts merely a svmptom of hunger.
Gratify the desire and sleep ensues. The
feeble will be stronger if they eat on going
to IhhI. Some persons are exhausted
merely by the process of making their
toilet "in the morning. A cup of warm
milk aud toast on retiring or of beef tea
on awakening will correct it."
"But is it not essential that the stomach
should rest?"
"L'ndoubtedlv. Yet. when hungry we
'should eat. Does the infant's stomach rest
at long as the adult's? Man eats less often
only because his food requires more time
for "digestion. Iuvaiids and children at
night may take slowly warm milk, beef
tea, or oat-meal. The vigorous adult can
eat bread, milk, cold beef, chicken, raw
oysters or some other such food. Of
course, it must be done in moderation. You
start home now and take a cup of tea and
a beef sandwich on the way, and I'll risk
your sleeping. Good night!''
I'tlllzlns Old Tin Cans.
Chicago News.
An old man with a large coffee-sack over
his shoulder can be seen almost every day
in the alleys and back-door yards of hotels
and boarding-houses, gathering tin cans
from which fruits and vegetables have been
taken. He gathers hundreds of these cans
every day.
" To what use are they put?" he was
asked yesterday.
"It's a business I went into over a year
ago, " said the old man, as he rested" his
bag on the g.ound. "Before that they
were a nuisance to everybody, anil they
were put to no use. I take "them home
and build a big fire in my stove. Then
I place two cans on top and with a
cloth in each hand am 'ready to
work. The heat melts the solder and I
knock the ends off and quickly brush the
solder into a pan with the cloth before it
hardens again. When I have treated all
of the cans this way I have u jot of tin
tubes the length of the former can. These
I take, and, by a little work, make them
fit into each other like joints of stove-pipe.
A hundred cans will make a pipe thirty -five
feet five inches long. Then I sell the
pipes." '
"For what use are they used?"
"Well, poor people use them for draiu
piie, which, when painted, will last for
years in the ground. Then, again, they
are used as water pijes for houses, as
waste-pipes for kitchens, and, in fact, are
convenient in hundreds of ways."
"Do vou make much out of the busi
ness?" "
"A living, and a little besides," answered
the man, evasively, as though afraid of
saying too much. " "You see, I also keep
the solder, and cast it into bars, which I
also sell, and get a good price for."
A Ludicrous Stae ,TlIliap.
Rambler.
An old theatrical manager relates the
following as an illustration of the amus
ing contretemps that frequently occur
on the stage: "I think it was Ada Gray
who was going to play "East Lynne' in
Richmond. On her arrival for rehearsal
ou the morning of the performance, tho
child who was to play Willie was not
forthcoming. The ftage manager as
sured the star that he had a
child who had often played the
part before, and that it would
be 'all right at night.' But the child was
ill and couldn't come. The manager put
his smallest ballet girl in the bed, but as
she couldn't memorize the lines he got
under the bed with the prompt book.
The star was staggered when she saw the
length of the child lying beneath the
clot lies, but she struggled bravely on.
When the prompter's voice, disguised,
but still harsh and hoarse, come out, star
and audience alike tittered; but tho lady
made an effort and threw herself in simu
lated agony upon the bed. The property
man had forgotten to take off the castors,
and away it rolled, leaving the stage
manager and his prompt book fully re
vealed. That was the end of East Lynne
for that night."
Romance of the Circus.
Inter Ocean.
One of the stock romances of the circus
ring has been that of -i young man who in
the assumed character of a woman lias ex
cited the tender susceptibilities of those of
his own sex. For instance, at the London
Amphitheatre in 1849 there was a beautiful
equts;rieune known as Mdlle. Ella, whose
charms of face and form were a never end
ing theme among thousands of male ad
mirers who nightly gazed upon them
with enraptured " eyes. What sur
prise and mortification, therefore,
did not these susceptible mortals endure,
who had dowered the fair Ella with costly
bouquets and valuable jewelry, when it
became known several years afterward
that this entrancing creature belonged to
the sterner sex. A similar episode, occur
ring at the New York circus about eleven
years ago, led two well known magazine
writers each to embody it in a short story,
and by a curious coincidence the two simi
lar tales were printed the same montu by
two magazines, each, of course, knowing
nothing of the fact until both periodicals
had been put on sale.
