TIIE OKKGON STATESMAN: FRIDAY. DECEMBER CO. 1007. A Wounded Life, Itwaaooly small square d yellow p aboard, with word printed cpon ttf whkh had" been dropped accidentally in tii gutter, and yet the destiny of & scml tamed upon It. . She stooped and picked h np, roechan jCAlly, with tbat attention to trifles that sometimes marks the last boots of a doomed man- Bbe also was doomed, gbe was harrying back to her miserable atiie, clutching the tiny vial in her. hand. She had procured the drug with difficul ty, and the end would soon come. She had not reached the prime of early womanhood, and . yet she was old in sin and degradation. The beauty which bad been a snare to her had faded ; she had no friends among those who had helped to work her ruin, for she had descended to Orj lowest round of the ladder. Hap pier women glanced askance at her faded finery, and her face with that awful nameless expression upon it, and passed her with a shudder. She glanced at the words. It was a ticket of admission to the "Christ Before Pilate," then on exhibition. Christ! The word stirred the ashes of long dead and buried memories, which it was agony to remember,' ol the days when that name which latterly bad beer. associated with oaths and curses had been sacred to her. The ticket seemed to sting her. She tried to fling it away, but it hung to her fingers as by volition. i Ahead she saw the banner flung out from the hall of exhibition. The card would give her admission. But what bad she to do with Christ or with the well- dressed crowd who passed into the en trance? Ferhapa they wouldn't admit her. She glanced down upon her faded finery, her frayed velvet cloak and bro cade dress and soiled light gloves, and laogbed aloud at the thought of an out- casthalf-starving and about to take the final leap into the darkness, entering a hall to look at a picture. But the "Christ Before Pilate!" .She had chanced upon a criticism of it, in the daily paper which she had bought yesterday, with almost ber last penny, in the forlorn hot to find a "want" she might fill. Hnddenlr she turned, and looking net ther ritfht nor left, walked back to the hall, ascended the stairs and proffered the ticket with a half expectation of be ing ordered down stairs. But the youth took it in a monotonous way, without elancinsr at her. and she passed with the crowd up Another flight, and in another moment was standing in the darkened hall, aweHttrack and silent before the animated breathing, glowing figures, that confronted her from the canvas with such ttartline realism. What is it tbat she feels as she stands before the serene kingliness of the Christ in the foreeround, with the light and splendor and vast -moral significance of ' the picture, concentrated in himself? She sinks trembling into a seat thrilled through and throueh with that vision of ineffable sweetness. She forgets what she is, forgets hunger, degradation, and despair. She does not regard the people who are moving softly and speaking , in whispers. A hand seems to reach down to her from the picture and lay hold upon the inner sanctuary of her soul, where -. the divine unquelchable spark tbat is to kindle the whole nature anew is slutnber- io She needed bo interpretation of the scene. She had beard the story of Christ in her childhood's home, in her Sunday school, in the dim church, where her father, in white vestments, had minis tered to bis people nntil it had lost its force through famiharrtr. It naa re mained for- her. after years of sin and self-abandonment, to stand before this canvas, when on the verge of despair, and feel, in the finest fibres of her being, the intense and vivid realism ef that half mvthical. half fonrotten story; feel with an intensity, proportioned to her own fearful .Iaoee from purity; tne min gled pathos and grandeor of that life which Is the heaves of buananity. She had moved i the aisle uncon scious of all Present. She crept near to the railing. The spell of the artist' ira agination had wrought pon herwothat it was a livirnr Christ, the hem of whose garment she longed to tooeb, who stood them. In hamtv iirooranc) of distract ing, wrangling critics, she fastened her thought upon the freat ttoroDbing eoui 01 the canvas and drew from its strength. Th maliimant nana ion dominating the dark faces, answered to those she bad Ion? harhnrmt in hr own brMtSt. but she did not dwell upon them.

She hlid it all nmr. The hardness and defiance, and sxxn for scorn which she had met in thought, thone woo uu ealbfcl thomanlvM ' iiia followers, was melting.

She stumbled down stairs and out into the twilight. She must have been in the hall for boors, for the sun was high in the west when she entered. She had slipped the Tial into ths bosom of her dress. Mechanically, she moved V along in the direction of her miserable attic, where not even a crust awaited her. fl The reaction was coming from that high wrought mood that bad sustained soul and toJv for a season.

Joseph Cannon, of Illinois, is a good story-teller, and I remember a remark he made lately in talking about the use of compliments which prevails so univer sally at Washington. This is, yon know, a city of toadies and taffy, and every one delights in saying sweet things to his neighbor's face, whatever he may say to his neighbor's back. Speaking of thb, Mr. Cannon said : "It reminds me of an old fellow in my district, whom I will call Jones, who had a good word to say for every one in the community, and whose opinion never failed to be expressed at a funeral Whenever a neighbor died he lauded him to the skies, and he did this apparently without respect to persons. At fast one of the worst reprobates in the village dropped off. He was a man who had ab solutely no good in him, and certain men of the town, in discussing the approaching funeral, made a net that Jones could not find a good word to say about him. Jones was accustomed to make bis remarks as he passed the coffin, which, yon know, is always open in such villages for a last look of the friends upon the gbastty fea tures of the deceased, and the betting men took 'their station back of the ap proaching column on the day of the fun eral and waited for bis approach. He came up solemnly, slowly, and with a be nevolent look on bis features. He leaned over the coffin and looked long and anx iously at the features of the dead repro bate. At last he raised bis head, looked around upon his friends, and whispered with a sigh : "Well, he bad good teeth!" "And so," concluded Mr. Cannon, "Washington is sure to find something good about every man, and if it would continue to say it as Jones did after a man's political life bad passed away, I would ask no better chronicle of ray vir tues and my doings." N. Y. World. ORIGIS OF THE COOX. C. B. Griffin, of Newark. Ohio, gives the following accoant of the origin of "the son" in politics : "Congress, rur- inir the winter of 1839-'40. witnessed the inauguration of 'stump speeches' on the floor of the bouse, and there were giants in those days. Tom corwm, oi uto, and Preatiss, of Mississippi, led the whig forces in the forensic battle. Dr. Dan- can, of Cincinnati, General Crary, of Michigan, and others the opposition.

The returns from rural precincts came in written on the flesh aide of dried coon skins. , Ton b Use tynttm and improve the i petit by taking Ayr' SaraapariUa.

From a World corresbondent: Bertie and aunt Eve were whUking along on the street-cars, and one of the sights that met their eyes was a little boy hold ing a drum, while a mite of a girl nsed the drum sticks to good advantage. Now Bertie has a little brother and sister who do not get along very well together, and so Aunt Eve remarked: "Your little brother and sister don't get along as well as that, do they?" "I don't know,! says Bertie, "one holds therat while the other beats it." THK0LOOV OF THE BOSTOXIAX ORDER. From the Boston Transcript: Two jolly stories of a child contributed to the Listener: "There is a little four-year-old niece of mine who was almost a babe in arms when we were' liviBg side by side on bwampscott Highlands. She bad been prepared for bed one night, and was asked to say her prayers, when she re plied " I shan't say them any more ; God knows them well enough bv this time!' "And afterwards, when her mother was about to turn off the gas and leave the room, the child, said " 'I don't want to be left alone in the dark. " 'Yon won't be alone, dear; God wDl be with vou,' said the mother. " 'Well, I donVare for hjna ; I'd rath er have one ol my own lamily.' " two raox the school room. A teacher in a city near New York had a small class in easy physiology. They bad had several lessons on the ear, and bad been so thoroughly drilled on the names and uses of all its parts that when some visitors dropped in the teacher was glad it happened to be the hour for this class to recite. After asking several questions, and receiving prompt and cor rect answers, she asked: "What is the name of the canal in the ear? " The child hesitated a moment, and then spoke up, loud and plain : "TheE-rie canal!" The visitors thought that if she judged hy the sound it was no wonder if the child thought the Erie canal ought to be in the ear. and were perhaps better pleased than the teacher was with the answer. Another teacher in the same city aked one ef her scholars the meaning of the word "vicissitude." "Change," was the reply. "That's right, said the teacher; "now give me a sentence with the word 'vicis situde' in it." "My mother sent me to the store to vi cissitude a dollar bill." SHOULD GET A RACK. There are many funny little incidents occurring every day in the life of P. T. Barnum that never see the light of print, some of which are the resalt of the old showman's appreciation of a joke, even when the laugh is against him, and others the result of circumstances. Yes terday morning Mr. Barnom entered bis office in Madison Square Garden, hang his overcoat on the rack, where there were a number of otber coats, and began bis daily work. Some time afterwards, and while ; talking to Mr. Bailey, he reached for his coat, but by mistake took one belonging to some one else. He re placed it and selected another, wbicfc be also quickly put back and secured a third, which he also returned to the rack, and while looking for bis own, Mr. K. F. Hamilton remarked to him, "Don't take my coat. Governor." "Well," said Mr. Barnam, rather pointedly, it was thought, "I've taken down three: one contained a bottle of whisky, another a lot of cigars and the third a package of chewing tobacco. I'm sure 1 bad nothing in sine but my papers and my gloves. I've dis covered the peculiarities of some of my agents, though." (New York "World. A CfJXGRESSMAXS BOMAXCE. The marriage last Friday of Congress man Ezra B. Taylor (who delivered the Garfield oration at Music Halt) at Lex ingtoo, Ky., to Mrs. Annie L. Bosworth was tbe culmination of an old love affair with which quite a romance is connected. Mr. Taylor and the then Eunice Burrows were born and raised in the town of Gar rettsville. Some years ago they were sweethearts and engaged to be married, but they were separated bv a lovers' quarrel. Each married and raised a family, the sweetheart coming to this city with her husband. Her husband died and she teok np ber residence with ber children at Lexington, Ky. Mr. Taylor, singularly enough, was left widower, but he never forgot his first love, and several months ago addressed her in marriage and was accepted.

Tbe man who gets out his square and compass and takes the latitude and longitude of the melt of tbe butchered hog has not been so scientifically industrious as nsual this season, but enough has been gleaned to show tbat tbe melt this year is situated one degree north of the gall, pointing thence three degrees westerly to a rib. 1 lance tbe winds will be northwesterly, strong and cold to brik, shifting to north westerly and from thence to north, and thence down over the fence and out. On the other hand it has been shown that the cucumber seeds have been more oblong , than usual this year, that the hickory nut shucks have been thin and the covering of the onions loose and baggy and cut low in the neck. Tbe winds, therefore, will be light and low, and the winter as open as a barn.
