Even our Presidents have poor luck
with their marriages. Washington
married his adopted daughter, who
was his wifo'a grandchild, to his ow
nephew, and tho last 1 heard of then
was tho sale to tho Government
of
Homo of Washington's old fuinitur
by tho posterity. John Adams had
a daughter named Abigail, who mar
ricd a young revolutionary officer
named Smith. In taking caro of Smith
who was but mediocre, Adams incurra
many enmities.
Tho ladies may bo further interested
m tho subject of tho marriages of im
nortant people. Mr. Jefferson had
very interesting daughters, and they
married Virginia politicians around
him to very httlo satisfaction in at
least ono case. Maria, tho best look
mn of tho girls, died in 1810. llor litis
band had been a sporting man and
horseman, nnd it appears that both
the sons-in-law of Jefferson reouired
indorsements, otc, which brought tho
old man s gray hairs down to mondi
cancy, in addition to his own linan
cial errors.
Aaron Burr, on tho other hand, had
one daughtor.and slio madoa brilliant
marriago, but it was her father who
involved her and her husband in his
unscrupulous linancial and political
tricks, rmncu Her husband, and when
she embarked from South Carolina
with her child to seok her father, sho
met somewhere- in this world an ano
nizing death; it is a legend that pirates
took tiiu vessel and mado this brill
unit young women and her child walk
tho plank. No evidence, however, ox
ists on tho subject except hearsay; at
tnat timo tnero were pirates and pira
teers.
mi i
.ino most oninant marriago ever
made in tho political circles of tho
country in tho times of Washington
was that of Ann Willing to William
IMngham. They married early in
thoso days, especially where- thcro was
money, and Ann Willing married at
sixteen. Her husband was descended
from a Quaker blacksmith, but his
family had for four generations mado
prosperous marriages, and durmc our
revolutionary war tho husband got
otic or tne country and held a post
tion of half Uritish, half American
consul in ono of the West India isl
ands to which privateers resorted
Ho camo homo very rich and received
as well tho Bingham moneys, and ho
chose tho daughter of Willing, who
was President of tho United States
bank and business partnor of Robert
Morris. Tho Willincs wero tho finest
people in Philadelphia. Tho present
cecrocary liayani is descended from
one of them. Freshly married in her
bloom, thebrulo and husband went to
I'.uropo'and remained awav fivo veara

and tno young man was greatly ad
mired as the first American over seen
abroad. When ho returned, at theconi
mencement of Washington's adininis
tration, they built the finest houscov-
er seen in Philadelphia up to that timo
and not excelled perhaps in tho pres
ent day. It was filled with tho host
in rm tu re to bo bought in Franco and
with tho best pictures from Italy.
Alon" came votini? Barinrr. tlin Imh'IihIi
banker, and Haw tho daughter of this
pair so superbly brought up with a
town House and country house, and
he manied her; and tho larger portion
ol tho Bingham property, which
amounted to $1,200,000 in money,
went to swell tho capital of the Bar
ings. Tho young mother, however,
having lost herself in society, caught
cold in an imperfect dress ono night
mm was t-tizuu wir.n consumniion
and sho died in tho West Indies at an
early ago. Sho had a sister of whom
great things wero expected, but along
camo a dissoluto jj'renc U nobleman
without any standing or property.
and he tempted this girl to go out with
him one night and ho kept her out all
night, to thohorrorand wonder of tho
town, and then mado a compromise
with her parents whereby thev cavo
him money to send her home: sho was
divorced by legislature, her father hav
ing become United States Senator, und
so httlo was mado of the mattor by
tho Marine family that she was solicit
ed in marriago by her brother-in-law
Baring, and after living with him until
hia decease Bho married another French
nobleman and passed out of notice.
President Tay'or'H daughter ran
away with Jellerson Davis. President
Monroo a daughter married her cousin.
and they havo left noino descendants
at Washington and in tho State of
Maryland. Nollio Grant is tho last
President's daughter to draw atten
tion. Sho saw a young, bright-faced
Englishman on a steamboat and fellln
love with him without much reason or
inquest, and ho turned out to bo ap
parently a sort of boys' companion,
liardly oyer looking up to tho digninty
ot acquaintance with grown men. Ho
therefore seeks his pleasure in London
when ho has money to spend, and sho
stays at homo with her baby.
'1 ho marriage of Ulaino'o son is a
testimony to the heautv. modesty
and sweetness of Mrs. Kevins, tho
mother of tho bride, who has been too
much esteemed, on all these points for
her daughter topass into nothingness.
In tills case wo know wiiat tho poet
means when he says:
A thins of beauty Is iv inv forever:
Its burliness increases; it will never
Pans into nothingness; but still will keep.
ALL FOR THE BEST.
X ThankucliliiK Story.
"Who was that 1 heard talkin' to
you just now?" asked Mr. Cary, as ho
entered the kitchen door.
"Miss Jorden," replied his wife,
"Sho wants us to drop in to help eat
turkoy this ovOnin'. Mr. Hatfield and
the now minister and their wives aro
to bo there. Wo aro to stop on the
way homo from meet in'."
"How does sho know we are gom' to
mcctin'? I am sure it is not Sunday,"
returned Mr. Cary.
"Why. William, you know this is
Thanksgivin'," urged Mrs. Cary.
"I am thinkin' it is mighty little
we've got left to give thanks for," re
turned tho old man with a sigh.'
"Never distrust Providence, William.
Seed timo and harvest, Ho has prom
ised, and wo have his word for His
care oven unto hoary hairs. Man,
man, don't take on so. Ho is tho
same God that told the children of
Israel to go forward, and did ho fail
to open them a way?" and Mrs. Cary
left tho pudding sho was stirring, and
crossed over to tho corner, where
her husband had drawn tho old
arm-chair.
"I have tried to servo Him for forty
years, Rachel, and it is a little trym
to oo leit homeless when mv nair is
gray and my eyes aro dim," ho
replied.
"It is written, 'I will never leave thee
nor forsake thee, sho said softly
"And yot, Rachel, the homo wo havo
worked so hard to pay for will bo
knocked down to tho highest bidder
to-morrow. The roof over our heads
sholters us to-night for tho last time,
With a cold, stormy winter at hand
we will be cast helpless out in the snow
I can sco uothin' boforo us but tho
poor-house," ho answered bitterly
"It seems hard, William, but tho
Lord will provide if wo but trust him,"
sobbed the poor, tired woman.
"I'm a thinkin' wo've been all
wrong in brmgin' up our children. If
wo had been satisfied for them to bo
gin where wo did, instead of where wo
left oft, tho farm noed never have been
mortgaged."
Wo did it all for tho best, father we
meant to do our duty, and if wo mado
a mistake, God only knows all about
it."
"Ungrateful children is tho sorest
punishment that can bo visited upon
indulgent parents. I hoped, when our
children wero small, that thoy would
tako caro of us in our old days; but
instead of supporting us, they aro bur
dens on our worn-out strength. Tho
girls can sit and seo their mother
weann out her strength for them, nud
Robert would to God we had buried
him in his innocent childhood."
Tho mother Bighed heavily, and then
replied sadly: "If Robert would only
do ngiit, l would uo willing to begin
life anew. It seems to mo his reforma
tion would givo us both a new leaso
on life."
"But I havo given him up. Thero
is no rest for us, but in tho grave.
His destruction is only a matter of
time. When I think of tho bright
promise of his early years, I almost
curso tho college that taught him tho
uso ol intoxicating drinks," exclaimed
the father, earnestly.
"Jt was ovil associates, William, not
tho book-learning, that ruined our
boy. Who knows but God may savo
him yet? He does not forgot tho pray
era wo havo put tin for him."
"j reckon not, out it is hard to Bavo
a confirmed drunkard," returned tho
father.
"Not too hard for tho grace of God
With him all things nro possible. It
is hard to givo up everything for no
fault of our own, but God rules, and
t must Do all lor tho best."
Tho old man shook his head with a
weary sigh, and his .good wife, the
partner of all his iova and sorrows.
drew her chair closer to him. took his
cold hands in her own, and deep silcuco
loll upon thegray-haircd couplo.
ino aged parentH wero not awaro
that their conversation reached other
oara than thoir own. Tears sprung to
tne eyes ol two of their listeners, and
Alice and ICaty Cary, in whispered
comments, agreed that mother's timo
to rest had como at last, Robort,
Htrotched lazily on tho old-fashiouod
sofa, could not fail'to catch thosouud
of tho voices in tho adjoining apart
ment, and, though tho girls never
thought of taking him into their con
fidence, ho resolved that, in spito of
ins lather h distrust, ho would Uelpau-
wor ins motiior s prayers.
ile knew tno farm had been mort
gaged to keep him at collego, and ho
iad promised to seo it lifted: but in-
Btoad of paying it off, ho had been
early adding to its intorest. A sense
of his ingratitude almost overwhelm
ed him, and to hide his emotion ho
took his hat and hurried from the
room.
"Ho isofltotownnow, to spend tho
day in addingsorrow to theoverflowing
cup poor latner anu mother aro com
pelled to dilnk." Big bed Alice.
Robert caught her words, and pans-
cu wi jvctbiu n lupiy.
"If ho is doomed to a drunkard's
grave, the sooner lie fills it the better
for us all," she returned in a hard
voice.
Robert waited for no more, but
rushed madly across tho meadow, and
crowing the little brook at its bot
tom bought reluge among tho rocks
in tho wood beyond where he allow
ed great sobs of remorse to shake hw
strong frame. Feeling his own inabil
ity to break the fel tors that bound
him, he humbly carried his burden to
the Ono who is over ready to help; and
when he returned in thegatheringdusk
ho was ready to gladden tho heavy
hearts in tho desolate homo with thtt
joyful tidings of tho victory ho had
won.
"Wo havo something for which to
givo thanks yet," cried tho father in
tears. "Hero I have been doubting
God's lovo and kindness, even while lie
was preparing my heart's desire for
my thanksgiving song."
Tho next week they moved into a
poor, inconvenient tenement house,
but the tender caro their children lav
ished upon them, made this the hap
piest winter of their lives.
Robert succeeded in obtaining steady
work, though not such as he would
havo chosen, but he was wise enough
to understand that if lie wished to ac
complish anything, ho must begin at
tho bottom and work his way up. Tho
girls relieved tho mother of the greater
part of tho household work mean
while adding a little to tho general
fund by their busy needles.
When spring came Robert obtained
h position as under teacher in the
academy, and Alice, leaving Kutio to
caro for tho old folks, iound her musio
had at last sorved a good purpose,
and daily sho bravely submitted to
tho wearisome monotony of a imiBio
teacher.
Though Kniie spent most of her time
in tho dingy garret no ono except her
sister know of. tho patient work that
was destined to add Katie Cary'a
name to tho long list of talented art
ists. After the girls understood that
Robort was really to bo trusted, ho was
taken into their secret, and tho con
spirators enjoyed many happy mo
nients hiding away irom the old peo
ple's sharp eyes.
alio long not summer nad beon suc
ceeded by tho golden autumn, and
Thanksgiving had returned to glad
den tho closing year. In the Cary
home nothing had been said about
tho feast that thoy always had been
wont to enjoy on this happy day. At
tho church door Robert was waiting
with old Bet and Dolly, when tho oth
er members of the family camo out.'
Ho proposed a short drive through
tho glowing woods, but merely went
by a winding route to tho dear old
farm-houso, whero thoy found tho
same conveniences they had left a
year before Everything was in per
fect order, and a fat turkey smoked
at tho head of a well-filled table. To
add to tho bewildermont of the white
hairod couple, a new deed for the farm
lay on tho father's plate. "To out
dear parents," was its only explana
tion, but tho father and mother were
not long in coining to tho knowledge
that their Belf-denying children
had beon saving tiieir hard-earned
wages for this precioua gift. Tho man
who had purchased thedear old home
stead for lesa than a fourth of its val
no had entered into obligations with
Robert to transfer tho deed as soon
as ho could repay tho money invested
with simple interest. Katie's pictures
had brought a handsome price, and
this, added to Robert and Alice's sav
ings, redeemed tho farm and tho team
that their father loved next to hia
children, besides purchasing a new,
easy chair for each of the parents.
Robort and his assistants had workecj
hard to change tho old-fashioned,
heavy furniture before the service clos
ed in the old church. Tho old folks
wero too glad to express their feelings,
but thoy fully agreed, while the tean
coursed down their cheeks, that this
was tho best Tliasksgivmg that they
had ever enjoyed. Christian Observ

Like almost everything that is tlx
rago for a season or two and become
familiar and common, china painting
has "had its day." Tho amateui
artistic fancy now scorns to incline in
two directions etching and drawing
on wood and linen nnd painting on
silk and on other rich stuffs. This
form of decoration is greutly in vogue.
Pen and ink and sepia sketches on lit

linen used as centres for chair "tidies"
and for toilet tables aro favorito sub

Painting on silk und satin has almost
entirely tuked tho place of painting on
china, though tho painting continue;
to engage tho attention of expert ama
teurs. A good many people hav
