Wilson. Fisher Jewelry mfrmnnnc AN UNCLE'S STRATEGY. JIow to Make a.l'oang Wife of an Old Maid. It is quite frequently the case j mat cue more oeauniui ana urn richer the girl is the more difficult are both her parents and herself in the choice of a husband, and the more offers4hey refuse. The one is too tall, thr other too short, thia not wealthy, that not respectable enough. Meanwhile, one spring passes after another, and year after year carries away leaf after leaf of the bloom of youth, and opportunity after opportu nity. Miss Harriet Selwood was the richest heiress in her native town of shire, England ; but she had ah ready completed her 27th year, and beheld almost all her young friends united to men whom she had at one time or other discarded. Harriet be gan to be set down for an old maid. Her parents became really uneasy, and she herself lamented in private a position which is not a natural one, and to those whom nature and fort une have -been niggardly of their gifts are obliged to submit; but Har riet, as wo have said, was both hand some and very rich. Such was the state of things when her uncle, a wealthy merchant in the north of England, came on a visit to her par ents. He was a jovial, lively, straight forward man, accustomed lo attack all difficulties boldly and coolly. " You see," said her father to him one day, "Harriet continues single. The girl is handsome; what she is to havo for her fortune, you know ; and yet she is getting to bo an old maid." "Truo," replied the uncle; " but, look you, brother, the grand point in every affair in this world is to seize the right moment; this you have not done it is a misfortune; but let the girl go along with me, and before the end of three months I will return her to you as the wife of a man as young and wealthy as herself." Away went the niece with the uncle. On the way home he thus addressed her: "Mind what I am going to say. You are no longer Miss Selwood, but Mrs. Lumley, my niece, a young, wealthy, child less widow j'yoTfTiacr the misfortune to lose your husband, Colonel Lum ley, after a happy union of a quarter of year, by a fall from his horse while hunting."- "But, uncte " " Let me manage, if you please, Mrs. Lumley. Your father has in vested me with full powers. Here, look you, is the wedding ring given you by your late husband, jewels, and whatever else you need, your aunt will supply you with ; and ac custom yourself to cast down your eyes." The keen-witted uncle intro duced his niece everywhere, and the young widow excited a great sensa tion. The gentlemen thronged about her, and she soon had her choice out of twenty suitors. Her uncle advised her to take the one who was deepest in love with her, and a rare chance decreed that this should be precisely the most amiable and opulent. The match was soon concluded, and one day the uncle desired to say a few words to his future nephew in private. " My dear sir," he began, " we told you an untruth." " How so? Are Mrs. Lumley's affections " "Noth ing of the kind. My niece is sincerely attached to you."" "Then her fort une, I suppose, is not equal to what you told? " " On the contrarj', it is larger." "Well, what is the mat ter, then?" "A joke, an innocent joke, which came into my head one day when I was in good humor we couia not recall it auerwaru. My niece is not a widow." " What! is" Colonel Lumley living?" "No, no she is a spinster." The lover frotested that he was a happier fel ow than he had conceived himselt: and the old maid was forthwith met amorphosed into a young wife. Why Hi Wife Never Asked Him For Money. "Battersby, my wife is almost worrying me" to death. There isn't a day that she dosen't ask me for nione'." "Isyrhpath,ize with you, Mr. Rob erts. My wnV hasn't asked me for money since wo were married." ".0, she hasn't eh? Mavbe she's dumb?" " No." x "Or goes through your pockets while j-ou're asleep?" "No." "Why doesn't she ask you for money?" "Her father keeps- her. Keeps me, too." Couldn't See It. A joke is a mystery to some peo ple. In a certain court in this State on the time the proceedings were de layed by the failure of a witness named Sarah Mony to arrive. Af ter waiting a longtime for Sarah, the court concluded to wait no longor, and wishing to crack his little joke, remarked : "This courtwill adjourn without Sarahmony." Everybody laughed except one man, who sat in solid meditation for five minutes, and then burst into a hearty guffaw, exclaiming, -,I see it! I see it!" When he went home he tried to tell the joke to his wife. "There was a witnessed named Mary Mony who didn't come," said he, "and the court said, ' We'll adjourn without Mary Mony." "I don't see any point to that," said his wife, "t know it," said he, " I didn't at first; but yon will in five minutes."- Lew istop, Me., Journal. An Arctic Thankislvln:. The next Thanksgiving, one year later, we spent cm our sledge jour ney returning to Hudson Bay, which we spoke of aa "home," from the isl ands in the AtcUc Ocean near the mouth of Back's Great Fish River. The lastThursday in Novemberfound us crossing a broad peninsula passing from one largo arm of the Arctic Sea to another, where theBack's River emp ties, and which we were extremely anxious to reach. That day we came upon a river sorao sixty to seventy paces broad, and it was named Thanksgiving Riverto commemorate the event. It was of a great deal of import ance to us to know just which way it flowed, for should its waters run eastward, all wo would have ' do would be to sledge along its icy ov oring, and it would take us by an easy grade to Back's River. Usually tho Esquimaux can tell which way the current of a frozen river trends by lying flat on tho ice, and placing the face close to it, and turning the eyes alternately to the right and left, or up and down stream, sighting along the level ice; but although two of the keenest-sighted of tho Esquimaux young men tried this plan on several parts of Thanksgiv ing River, they gave it up in despair, shaking their heads, and informing me that if the ice was off the river so that we could see the water flow ing it would bo a very sluggish cur rent The only way to settle tne matter would be .to dig through tho ice, some five or six feet thick, and sink a pole in tho ice-well, first on one side and then on the other, un til tho force of the current, however sluggish, would carry it across to the other side, and determine tho di rection of tho current. This cutting an ice-well is very in teresting and is done w'th two in struments, each on the end of a long pole. The first is a chisel, a sharp ened spike, a bayonet, or any such instrument, with which the native cuts a hole about a foot deep in the ice and probably a foot and a half wide. This -chopped ice made by the ice-chisel is then scooped out by a sort of ladle made of musk ox horn orr the end of "alrother pole, and this J alternation of cutting and scooping is kept up, digging out from six to twelve inches each time, until the water is reached six or se.on feet below. The farthest I ever saw them dig an ice-well to get to fresh water was eight feet and a half. After wo had dug a well about a foot anda half indiameter,I put down the scoop beyond the bottom of the ice on the western side, and there it remained ; then on the eastern side, and it lazily floated over to the west, which showed that the cur rent flowed that way, or in the direction from which "v, e had been coming. It was a great disappoint ment to us, and a river that we could hardly be thankful for; so it was abandoned next day. Our Thanksgiving dinner that day was nothing but riendeer meat, the same as any other day, for the good and sufficient reason that we had nothing else. For breakfast we had three or four pounds of boilded rein deer meat, drinking the soup after ward. For lunch while traveling we had raw frozen reindeer cut in chunks abou' half as big as one's hand, and then beaten into brash' shreds with the back of the hatchet. For dinner, as soon as the snow-house was finished, we had tho same frozen moat, and a hot dinner of boiled meat and soup about an hour after. Now that the intensely cold winter weather of the Arctic was coming rap idly toward us, we ate large quantities of reindeer fat to help us ke p warm, oftentimes as much in quantity as tho meat itself. Just about this Thanksgiving we were living on re duced rations, however, for we had but little reindeer meat, .and could not see our way clear to Back's Great Fish River, where we could procure fish. Our poor dogs! they had even less to bo thankful for than we, as they were being fed only about once a week. Lieut. Scb watka, in Harpers' Young Poople. KETTKK THAX QUININK. QuininjJ is only an expensive medi cine, it is a harmful one if taken too freely and too often. Of course the world insists on taking great quanti ties of it for fever and ague. Some persons think nothing else will cure fever and ague. We say positively, and testimonials back us up, that Braxdretii's Pills have often cured bad cases of fever and ague when quinine lias failed. Brakdretii'i Pills break up the worst attack. 1cy.c C That- , aro fretful AJVA.v fcs poovish, cross, or troubled with Windy Colic, Teething Pains, or Stomach Disordeis, can be relie vedvt once by using Acker's Baby Soothor.
