Happy watch am keeping

Dearer far than life?
Can 1 help but love them
Next to God and Heaven?
Make me worthy of them.

Will QUIMBY SWORE OFF.
Jack Quimby awoke with a bad bead
ache. This was no new sensation to
Mr. Q nimby. It was as old as the eter
nal hills, for Jack was a bibulous soul,
and his Lead was not proportionate to
his inclination for strong waters. He
loved drink, not for its sake, but for the
mad merriment the bowl provoKed, tne
song, the jest, and the anecdote, the
maudlin fraternal embrace, and the
oledees of everlasting friendship. He
occunied a responsible position ia
Front street office for despite his deep
and insatiable thirst Quimby was an ex
cellent man of business.
"Hook." said Mr. Quimby, as heme
f ullr surveyed his crimson countenance
ia a handglass, "I look like a biled owl;
or the last run of shad ; or the breaking
up of a hard winter; this won't do; I'll
have to swear off, or the cold and silent
crave will soon claim this manly form
for its own." and Jack's eyes suffused
with tears, for the fumes of the last
round of ni&rhtcaos were by no means
dissipated. "
"There never was a better Christian
ruined by dissipation than the under
signed," he oontiuued, and then, as his
eyes lit on a bottle on the bureau, he said,
with a deep sisu of gratitude, "Thank
heaven, there is a snifter to brace up
on.7
Mr.Ouimby's t rilet was slow and pain
ful this morning. He looked at the oold
water with a shudder.but finally worked
himself up to washing point. He was a
loner time Retting his collar unbuttoned,
he dared not shave, though he usually
performed that office every day, and he
marked with a groan that a new pimple
had taken it place cm his forehead.
. . "Clearly." said ''Quimby. "I mus
swear off. There are only five days left
of December. Then the naw year and
piety," and much oonsoled by the self
promised reform, he left his room to
make a feeble apology for c breakfast
A few hours later and Mr. Quimby was
himself again. It had taken much arti
fioial aid to bring his restoration about,
but Mr. Quimby played the Good Sa
maritaa to himself with the most libera'
oheerfulaess. A hair of the clog was
one of his most cherished maxim?. The
trouble was that he began with the hair
and usually concluded with the whole
hide. Two young and pretty girls sat
in a handsome mansion on California
street. It was not Nob hill, but near
enough to breath the aristocratic atmos
phere of that locality. One, a blonde,
was making a mouohoir cast for a New
Year's present, and on the lid her fair
fingers were embroidering the initials
J. Q.
"1 can not imagine how you endure
that fellow, Alice," said the other. "He
never oomes near me without reminding
me of a spice factory. Why, he must
exist on cloves and cinnamon and that
sort of thing. lam snre he drinks. I
have heard him talk so strangely, and
one. night he began a song and burst out
crying in the middle of it. Bob had to
take him into the hall. He could hardly
walk. Bob said it was his emotions, but
I am ure it was whisky or some horrid
drink."
"Nonsense," said Alice Benton. "Jack
is so finely strung that the least thing af
fects him. Jack is a dear fellow, is Jack.
So good-hearted and clever. They dote
on him at the club."
"Perhaps so," rejoined her friend,
"but it must take a fortune to keep him
in cloves. By-by. I must get down
town to mitoh that lace." And with one
of those natty little love-you-for your
mother kisses the girls exchange, Bessie
Morris skipped away.
Alice put another stitch in the curl of
the J, and examined it critically. Then
she sighed, put her work aside, and fell
into a fit of dejected musing. "Jack does
drink so horribly," she said, "I wish I
was not so fond of him. I am rnnning a
fearful risk; they tell me, ia marrying
him. But what can I do? f I can 'not
give him up. I would if I could. And
.Alice, in true feminine fashion, began to
cry.
"Tears, idle tears, L know not what ye
mean," oried a merry voice in her ear,
and a tall, manly young man caught
away her hands and laughed heartily at
her look of distress. "How now, coz,"
he said, soothingly, "what has gone
wrong? Are there to be no calls this
year? Does the stern parent legislate that
the basket shall be hung on the outer
wall, and no beau allowed to taste our
cake and wine? Out with it. Tell me
all, and by yonder drowsy policeman on
the corner I swear to right your wrongs."
"Oh, Charley," said his cousin, "it is
all about Jack. You know his irregular
habits that's what you men call it, I be
lieve. I must make him stop drinking.
Charley, dear, you are a man; do give
rae some advioa."
Charley grew grave in a moment.
"You are right, Alice," he said. "We
must put our heads together to save Jack
Quimby, and if for your sake alone, dear
girl, I shall sit awake all night thinking
how it can be dene."
"If it can be done, Charley will do it,'
said Alioe cheerfully. "Oh, Jack, Jaok,
if you could but understand how much
trouble you are giving us."
Jaok Quimby saw the old year out and
the new year in according to the usual
fashion of such ceremonies. And he
awoke with the same old head, only in
tensified bv more deeper and more varied
potations. ' While he was deliberating
whether it was worth while getting up at
all or not, a knock came at his door, im
mediately followed by a couple of young
fellows, faultlessly dressed in the regula
tion visiting oostume. -
"Come, come, Jack? You're a nice fel
low for a calling chum. Over forty visits
to make to-day and not up yet," and
they dragged the unfortunate roysterer'
from his bed, and watchad his hurriad
e&'arii at dressing with uproarious mirth.
I It was quite late in the evening berore
the Quimby carriage halted before Judge
Benton's door. Alice had been anxious-
y expecting him all day, but when a
gush of cloves preceded his entrance her
heart sank within her. Jack felt the im
portance of presenting a sober appear
ance, and Ids bow was cold, almost stern,
and full of preternatural gravity.
"I wish you. Miss Benton, the com
pliment's of the season," he said, in slow
and deliberate accents. There was not a
solitary "r" in this sentence, for Mr.
Quimby knew from past experience the
dangers surrounding that consonant at
this stage of the proceedings. "Judge,
I am delighted to see you looking so
well, and this time the bow was directed
to a stiff, high-backed chair, an heir-
oom in the Benton family.
"Sit down Jack, and don't be silly."
whispered Alioe, after greeting his
friends. "Oh, you wicked boy! what's
the matter with your eyes? And your
necktie has slipped up under your ear.
How your gloves are stained with
claret?"
Half an hour latter Mr. Quimby was
supported to the carriage, and Alice
registered a solemn vow that unless her
.
cousin s pian was conclusively and per
manently effective she would never be
Mrs. Quimby, if she had to live and die
an old maid. On the evening of Mr.
Quimby's call half a dozen young fellows
sat together in the private rooms of
well-known restaurant. Alice Benton's
cousin was chairman.
"Boys," he said, "we must all of us
make a raid upon Quimby to morrow.
You, Jack, will be the deeply insulted
husband, and you, Tom, the honest viti
culturist whose money Quimby borrow
ed and squandered. Dick, I want you
to play the undertaker from whom the
coffin was engaged, and Bill, you can ap
pear as the man assaulted by Quimby
the angry man who had determined to
appeal to the law of his country for re
dress in tne shape of heavy damages.
ine omce group will now rehearse.
When Jack Quimby awoke on the sec
ond day of the year' he had a vague idea,
that he was on the threshold of sponta
neous combustion. "Never," he groan
ed, "were my coppers so infernally ho
before. If I do not join some temper
ance legion ere the day is over I am
lost man." Despite these reflections
Mr. Quimby dressed and after a good
round of stiff cocktails, walked to his
office and fell into the regular business
groove.
"Quimby," said the senior partner o;
the firm, "I want that invoice made ou
by ten o'clock."
"All right, sir; am at work on it now.'
"Somebody for you, Mr. Quimby,'
cried the messenger boy, bursting into
the private olnce.
"Show him in," said Quimby. A tall
gaunt individual followed the boy, and
fixing a stony glance at Jaok, took a va
cant chair.
"jt course you know who l am
Quimby."
"I'm blessed if I do," replied Jaok
alter a close scrutiny; "never saw yoa
before in my life tnat I can remember.
"My name," said the visitor, "is Eu
tropius Brown, and I have brought you
the coffin you ordered last evening. If
you will show me to the deceased, Mr
Quimby, I will arrange everything with
out further delay. I believe you re
marked the corpse had been already two
days on ice.
Quimby looked at the window. Sure
enough, there stood a black wagon out
side the door.
"My dear sir," he said, "there is no
body dead in this house. This is a bus
iness house, and you are quite mistaken
about the address. I never ordered
coma from you. Ive got no one to
bury, and it strikes me," added Jack
growing desperate, "that you are alto
gether in error, in fact that you are not
quite right in your mind."
"Is not your name John Quimby?"
"It is; I'm Quimby; but, great heav
ens, I have no use for an undertaker."
"Then why," said Brown in an excited
voice, "did you come to my establish
ment and ring the night bell? Why did
you tell me to bring along, the first
thing in the morning, the nobbiest cas
ket in the shop? Do you think that is a
fair treatment for a decent undertaker,
Mr. Qaimby? Do you think "
"For the Lord's sake be quiet,"
gasped Jack. "Here are five dollars for
a New Year's present. Say no more
about it. Take your casket baok and I
will oall on you this afternoon and square
up the balance. Don't you see that I
was not myself when I spoke to you
about that interment? Now, go away,
like a good fellow," and Jack pushed
Mr. Brown out and sat down again to his
iavoices with a heavy heart.
"How full I must have been!" he mut
tered. "To order a coffin; why, that's
the worst I ever did. I wish I could re
member something about what hap
pened after I left Benton's. But I can't;
tis no use."
"Gentleman wants to see Mr.
Quimby," shrieked the messenger.
"Don't disturb j ourself, Mr. Quimby,"
cried a short, stout man with a bull
neck. Just 10:30. Coma to give you
your lessons as per oontraot," and swing
ing a sack from his baok he took out a
set of boxing gloves and smiled com
placently at the astonished Quimby.
"What the devil are you doing here?"
ejaonlated that individual, as soon as he
recovered his breath.
"Your boxing lesson, Mr. Quimby.
Contract drawn up, sir, last night.
Signed in the presence of Mr. Elmore.
Hours from ten to twelve every day, at
this office. See for yourself." And the
pugilist handed Jack a paper on which
his own signature appeared.
"Here's 85," said Quimby; "take it
for your trouble, Mr. Slogan, and come
the latter part of next week." And as
the pugilist put his gloves away and
walked off, Jack clasped his hands about
his head and fell into a train of serious
thought.
"I've been off," he said, "but never so
off as I was yesterday. A coffin and box
ing lessons where the deuce could I
have been, anyhow?"
"Let me inl I must see him ! D n
bim! I'll kill him, the cowardly scoun
drel ! He insulted my wife! I say let
me in ; I'll have his life!"
The voioe and scuffle were outside Mr.
Quimby's door.
"Impossible, sir, impossible. Mr.
Quimby is a gentleman, and never inten
tionally insulted any one."
This was quite enough for Jack. He
felt a cold chill all over, and seized his
hat and coat and shot down a side en
trance. ' "Whre are you going, Mr. Quimby?"
asked a porter.
"To h 11," shouted Jack. "The whole
world is coming with coffins, boxing
gloyes and insulted wives. I'm crazy,
plum crazy. Out of my way or I'll kill
you." And the wretched man darted
into the street, sprang into a hack, and
fell back in a condition of complete ex
haustion. - On the third day of January, Miss
Alice Benton was informed that Mr.
John Quimby craved audience of her.
'Why Jack, how pale you are. and
how miserable you look!" she exclaimed
as Mr. Quimby made her a very humble
now. and cast a glance of most im
ploring penitence on her.
"Alice, he said, do you remember
New Year's day?"
"Of course, I do."
"I called on you, Alice."
"Certainly you did, Jaok; and sang a
song, too; don t you remember?"
"Remember? yes, quite well at least
think I do. But after that. Alice: after
that"
"Come, Jack, don't look so horror-
stricken. What occurred after that?"
Heaven alone knows. I only know
about half, and there must be about a
hundred precincts yet to hear from. I
went to an undertaker and ordered a
coffin; I invited a bruiser to call at my
office during business hours and spar
with me; I insulted somebody's wife; I
borrowed money from every one in town,
and there were thirty-two creditors wait
ing to see me in the hall yesterday; I
haye seven pairs of boots making for me
ia various parts of the town; I have
bought land, ships, copartnerships,
grain, clothes, guns, in fact, Alice, I find
that, begging your pardon, the devil has
got such a mortgage on me that he took
possession of this poor carcass on New
Year s night, and I have come baok to
swear off, once and forever."
"Oa what will you swear, Jaok? Now,
mind you, this is a serious matter. You
never acknowledged before that such
necessity existed. Shall I get the
Bible?" '
"I'll swear on your lips, sweetheart,
said Mr. Quimby, gallantly, and right
lustily did he take the oath.
"It s high time, darling " he contin
ued, "when a man mistakes an under
taker's shop for a saloon it's high time
to turn over a new leaf.
And Charley Elmore was Quimby's
beet man at the wedding, bat from that day
to this Jack never suspected that he had
oeen tne victim of a reformatory con
spiracy.
A Deceased Wife's Sister.
The passage at last by the house of
lords of the famous bill legalizing mar
riage with a deceased wife's sister marks
the end of the most remarkable parlia
mentary struggle on record. The bill
has merely passed the house of lords on
second reading, but that process involves
the adoption of the principles involved
in the measure, and the further progress
of the bill is for the purpose of perfect
ing it. Although the majority is only
seven, "it wia serve, as jvieroutio re
marked, and there is very slight chance
of the majority being reversed when it
comes up on third reading.
The origin of the legislation which
gave rise to the agitation which 'is now
on the point of successful termination
was curious. Before the act of 1835
marriages ia England with a deceased
wife's sister were not void, but only
voidable; voidable, that is, by the sen
tence of the ecclesiastical cousts, if pro
nounced during the lifetime of the par
ties, but otherwise legal and entailing no
illegitimacy on the children. Before
this date marriages of the kind were un
common, but in that year it seems to
have been felt that great inconvenience
was occasioned by leaving them on this
doubtful footing. A man, for instanca
at the age of thirty might marry his de
ceased wife's sister, and the children o
that marriage might not know for forty
years or more not, in fact, till the death
of one of their parents whether they
were legitimate or not. This is the rea
son given ia the preamble of the act, and
this was the argument relied upon by the
promoters of the measure in parliament
It was not, however, denied that there
was an alternative method of overcoming
the difficulty.
The object of the act was to do away
with the uncertainty attaching to Each
marriages. But this might have been as
serted by declaring them absolutely
valid, as well as by declaring them ab
solutely void; and as the former course
was not to be thought of, in consequence
of the strong religious feeling which pre
vailed in the country, the legislature was
compelled to fall back upon the latter, if
an acknowledged and crying evil was to
be remedied at all.
The immediate occasion of the legisla
tion of 1825 was the question raised as
to the legitimacy of the late Duke of
Beaufort, who was a son of one of these
voidable marriages. An act was intro
duced by Lord Lyndhurst into the
House of Lords that year to remove all
doubt as to his position, and the claase
was inserted in it making marriages
hitherto effected legal, but all after mar
riages illegal. The new House of Com
mons protected and refused to pass the
bill, but very late in the session H was
pushed through. It was accepted by the
House of Commons on the plea that it
was needful to setlte at once questions
which affected the heirship to a title and
great estates; and that the whole ques
tion of the law of marriages of affinity
should be reopened and reconsidered.
The pledge thus given was not kept, and
the law which makes these marriages
illegal still remains on the statute
book.
As early as 1842 agitation against
"Lord Lyndhurst's act" had attained to
very respectable proportions, for, on the
16th of March of that year the House of
Commons refused leave to Lord "Francis
Edgsrton to introduce a bill to legalize
the marriages of widowers with their
sisters-in-law. But five years later
May 13, 1847 Mr. Stuart Wortley ob
tained a commission to inquire into the
operation of the existing law, which, it
may be added, came before the public
still more conspicuously in November,
when the Chadwiok case was heard in
the court of the queen's bench. John
Chakwick's wife, Hannah Fisher, dying,
he married her sister, Ann, whom he
deserted to marry one Eliza Bostock. He
was thereupon indicted for bigamy, but
pleaded that his second marriage was
null, and his third consequently non
bigamous. This plea was supported by
the courts, and consequently the rascal
got off.
The agitation was kept up actively,
and by the 6th of March, 1850, the com
mons had become convinced of the
necessity of some reform, and passed
the bill to a second reading by 182 to
130. In his speech on that occasion Mr.
Beresford-Hope declared that if the
measure was passed it would be neoes
sary for the legislature to recognize old
marriages contracted in violation of the
law, and then went on to give soae curi
ous statistics to disprove the oommon as
sertion that such marriages were only
oommon among the humbler classes.
Though the bill passed the commons, it
was opposed so strenuously in the house
of lords that the earl of St. Germain s
had to withdraw it July 25th,' and on the
25th of February, 1851, when it was first
brought to a vote in the home of lords,
only sixteen votes were recorded in its
favor, while fifty were cast against it.
The sixteen affirmative votes represented
the full strength of the party, advocating
its passage, which has been growing so
steadily that last year it lacked but three
votes of an aatual majority of a rather
full house. :
So strong and deep is the feeling on
he question, that two associations have
been formed for its express considera
tionthe Marriage Law Beform Associa-
100, organized m lool, conducting the
agitation in favor of the bill, while the
Marriage Law Defence Association was
organized in 1860 to combat a measure
declared to be "fraught with great dan
ger and iDjury to religion, morality and
family life." Lord Dulbousie and Lord
Houghton have been the especial cham
pions of the bill of late years, and three
years ago they were reinforcd by l)r.
Bickers teth, the bishop of Bipon, and
the year before had the assistance, for
the first time, of the prince of Wales.
Since '-. then it has been the custom for
the prince of Wales and all his brothers
to go up to the house of Lords on the
day when the bill is to come up and to
oast their votes in its favor; but the
bishop of Bipon if the only member of
the Episcopal bench who has been able
to cut loose from the absurd prejudice
against it. Chicago Inter-Ocean.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Sago prepared like custard, and then
baked, with apples or other fresh or
canned fruit, is a nice cush for a con
valescent.
If a straw hat has been wet, and the
stiffness has departed, rub a little white
of egg mixed with cold water over it;
put it on with a flannel cloth.
Although melted butter will not
answer when making nice cake, still it
may be softened by heat so that it will
beat easily, and yet the flavor be un
changed. "
Frozen oranges for dessert on a July
day are delicious. Remove the peel and
slice the oranges; to each pound of
oranges add three-quarters of a pound of
sugar and one-half pint of water, and
freeze.
To give consistency to a pie-plant pie,
allow to one coffee-cupful of pulp, one
heaping tablespoonful of cornstarch;
then mix with this the yolk of three
eggs, and use the whites for a meringue.
A fancy for children's party cake is to
make plain or sponge cake, and bake in
shallow tins; cut in small oblong pieces
a little larger than dominoes, and then,
with a brush dipped in melted chocolate,
make the marks and dots.
Stewed liver is appetizing when one is
tired of fried meat and roast. Stew it in
a saucepan with a little water, in which
you have put a lump of butter, an onion
cut in slices, and a liberal allowance of
pepper and salt.
A pretty way to brighten a willow
chair is to tie two bows to the back of
the chair, a blue one at the top and a
pink or cream-colored one below it, at
about the center of the back, or have
both of them of scarlet ribbon; tie them
so that loop3 and ends ate about the
same length.
Peanut candy is made of Iwo cups of
molasses, one cup of brown sugar, one
tablespoonsul of batter, one of vinegar;
while it is boiling remove the shells and
the brown skins of the peanuts, lay
them in buttered pans, and when the
candy is done pour it over them. While
it is still warm cut it in blocks.
A one-egg bread pudding is something
greatly to be desired. Beat one egg
with one teaspoonful of flour, three of
brown sugar, one pint of milk, a little
salt; place some very thin slices of bread
in a pudding dish; then pour the cus
tard already made over this, and bake
for half an hour. Fruit may be added,
and spices to suit the taste.
Veal cutlets are very nice if dipped in
eggs, then in fine bread crumbs, with
pepper, salt and and a little parsley chop
ped and mixed with the bread. Have
some fat, very hot, in the pan before you
put the cutlets in. After frying the veal
pour most of the fat out of the pan and
make a rich gravy. Serve with mashed
potatoes, turnips and tomatoes.
A Liberal Quaker.
During Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania
a confederate captain asked for a glass of
milk, at a Quaker farm-house, and was
charged two shillings for the same.
"I didn't suppose you Quakers cared
to make money out of this wicked war,"
observed the officer, as he wiped his
mouth.
"Thee judges harshly, my friend."
"But two bits for a glass of milk is
outrageous." .
"Tut! tut! friend. When thee comes
to consider that some of thy comrades
have stolen a cow, and others have
carried off her hay, the charge for the
milk must seem dictated by a spirit of
liberality."
The officer hurried on to take the rest
of it out in beef.
When the Stabs Fell. The oldest
citizens of Greensboro, Georgia, remem
bers very well the phenomena of falling
stars that occurred in 1833. We have
heard the following anecdote upon a cit
izen who is still a resident of our town
quite a youth at that time: He was
occupjing a bed room in a store with an
other clerk, and was aroused from his
slumbers by banging at the door calling
out "Get up, Mars Charles!- All the
stars are falling." The youth arose with
hi3 comrades, went to the door from
where he saw the meteors falling like
snowflakes. Glancing up to the heavens
he quietly remarked: "Let 'em fall;
there appears to be plenty of them left
up there!" and forthwith retired.
