Robert Lincoln end other member*
of his cabinet, took a trip
through the South and Went. Abraham
Linooln was born in Larue
County. Kentucky, and a farmer living
near his birthplace, known as
"Uncle Bob" Hays, conceived the idea
of outting a cane ?>? old T
place ana presenting it to Robert
Linooln. With great labor he prepared
a speech, and practised it daily.
Just before starting for Louisville lie
wrapped the manuscript around tho
cane, and tied it with twiue. When

A child intent on Joyous piny.
"My little one, pray tell to me
Your dearest wish . What may It be?"
The little one thought for a while.
Then answered with a wistful smile ;
"The thin# that I wish most of all
Is to be big, like you, and tall."
l asked a maiden sweet and fair,
Of dreamy eyee and wary hair ;
"What would you wish, pray tell me true.)
That kindly fate should bring to you?"
With timid mien and downcast eyee
And blushes deep and gentle sighs.
Her answer came : "All else above,
I'd wish some faithful heart to love."
I asked a mother, tried and blest,
With l?abe asleep upon her breast:
"O. mother fond, so proud and fair.
What is thy inmost secret prayer?"
Hhe raised her calm and peaceful eyes,
Madonnn-llke, up to the skies :
"My dearest wish is this," stdd she,
"That God may spare my ohlld to me."
Again. T asked a woman old,
To whom the world seemed hard and cold |
'i'tay tell me, o thou blest in years,
What ore thy hopes, what ore thy fears?"
With folded hnnds and bead bent low
She nnswer mode, in accents slow
"For me remains but one request f
It is that Ood may give me rest."

in? planet glowed
'wilike a point of argent
fire; all along the western sky
the evergreens tossed to nnd fro
against an orange background, and
the air was full of the faint, sweet
perfume of dead leaves. And Clara,
nestling close to her father's side, remembered
the days of her childhood
when she went nutting on Barrack
at. 1 *

? -'It is cold," awa-nted Clara, her
blue eves intently fixed on thecvening I
ntnr.
The deneon was prim nn<l hardfeatured,
with a now that reminded
our of Capo Oml o:: th" ">np, ??utt a
complexion like a badly-tanned piece
of leather.
Clara was plump and pretty, with
skin like a rose-leaf, long-lashed eyea,
and a dimple which no one had ever
been able exactly to locate.
Clara might grow old one of these
days, but she never would grow into
the pattern of the deacon's old age.
"Hey!" said the deacon. "What's
that air in your lap, Clara? A bandbox?
I didn't buy nothin' that
would likely bo packed in a bandbox."
"No, 1 know you didn't," said Clara,
a blue gleam ?>f mischief coming into
her eyes. "It's a bonnet for mother.
There's the surprise party, you know,
at the parsonage to-night, and I'm
going to trim up something decent
for her to wear."
"A?bonnet !" The deacon jerked
the reins in a way that had nearly
collided Old Dick with the ehurchvard
wall. "Ain't your mother got a bonnet?
It does scorn, Clara, as if money
burned a hole in you young folkses
pocket "
The sott pink on Clara's cheek had
changed into deep rose by this time.
"Cot a bonnet? Of course she's
got a bonnet!" retorted she. "The
same she's had for five years, until
I'm sick of the brown satin bows and
the black poppies on it. Mother's a
real pretty old lady, father, or sho
would be, if you'll give her a chance."
"And who's to pay for all this
finery?" demanded the deacon, niter
hu ominous silence.
'It isn't finery, father, its only bare
decency. And I'm going to pay for
it," said Clara.
"Humph?" grunted the deacon.
"I'm gla.i you feel so rich. 1 don't.
Oct up. Hick, or I'll let y u know I'm
here, ye lazy, idle ereotur'.
"Tim Ixoiiiot was only iifiv cents ?
n real good straw," pleaded Clara.
"And the ribbon was a quarter, and
I'm going t<> trim ?t inys df with some
purple asters oil' my last spring's hat.
I couldn't let mother go to the surprise
party with that horrid old brown
thing !"
"Humph !" again uttered the deacon,
who had by this time urged Dick into
a spasmodic canter. "I don't myself
see no occasion for goin' gnllivanfin'
around to surprise parties -the hull
kit an' boodle of us, I mean' Of
course folks expect to see me there,
bein's I'm a deacon."
"And every thing else will be there,"
quickly retorted Clara, "and I don't
mean mother shall slay at home. She
gets so few chances to roe anything or
anybody! There! you tipped over
the vineg,ir jug, father, with Dioli cantering
in tlint iiltsunl fashion, I know
something would happen!"
"Whoa, I >iok -whoa!'" bawled the
old iimn. "Tlier' ain't notliin' broke,
luckily I didn't realize we was goin'
no fast, fin' the mada is froze pretty
stitT. Von see. I'd ealkilated to carry
a nice bag o* dried npplon for my
share, an' if your mother goes
Clara shrugged her shoulders,
"f daresay we can find something
for mother to carry," said she, "even
il it's 110 more than one of her delicious
pumpkin pies or a loaf of gin*
eerbread. T shall take a ten-dollar
i;old piece. My salary was paid last
week, and I shall never forget how
pood Parson Potter used to lie when i
was a child !
Ten dollars!" echoed the deacon.
"In money!" I">e my ears u-deeeiviii'

on if the old baok-log had never left I
off crackling since I waa here last, and
Prince barking, and the big red lily in t
bloom on the window-sill! Oh, it does
seem so nice to be at home again!"
Mrs. Cummings harried, smiling,
to the door; bat the deacon looked
sour enough as he drove around to the
barn.
"T nacin i Cuvugnt o' going!" faltered
Mrs. Cammings.
"But you must go, mother!" said
Clara, with the bow of ribbon twisted
around her finger. *
"I hain't nothing to take."
"Thero's that loaf of pluracake thai
you baked for Sunday's tea. Nothing
in the world could be nicer."
"I've got a piece o' blue gingham?
three yards?that I hain't made up
into aprons yet. Would that do?"
wistfully questioned the poor woman.
"It would be just lovely!" protested
Clara.
And then she confided to her mother
the secret of the ten-dollar gold piece.
"You see," said she, "t feel some- ?
how as if I were paying a debt to
these dear old people, who have
worked bo hard all these years fcr so
pitifnl a salary. And I've put the
money in the little, flat shopping-bag
?just like tho one I gave you, dear?
and I shall slip it into Mrs. Potter's
hand. Won't she be surprised when
she oomes to open it?"
Clara Cummings, however, had an
auditor to their sweet filial confidences
of whom she little knew.
The deacon, hauging up his old
liarnoss, back of the kitchen door, had
"It's sinful," said tho deacon to
himself?"absolutely a-temptin' o'
Providence! Ten-dollar gold pieces!
Ginghams! Loaves o' cake, not to say
nothin' of the dried apples I was calculatin'
to fetch! I ? don't?see?"
Suddenly the deacon's dull eyes
brightened. Ho came to a dend standstill
? ?? t!??- siaiis. The deacon had
an idea.
"The very thing!" he muttered to
himself.
Going softly to his wife's bureau, he
abstracted the little leather reticule
which Clara had given her on her fiftysecond
birthday, a brief while ago,and
quietly substituted it for Clara's, lying
on tho pillow of her bed, first, however,
placing in its outside pocket a
squarely-folded one-dollar bill.
"That'll boa deal more suitable,"
thought ho. "The bags is just alike
and Clara won't know the difference.
And I 11 keep this ero gold-pice, towards,
the shinglin* of the barn ruff.
Goodness knows, I need money n great
deal more than Parson Potter does,
and Clara "ain't no business to lie so
wasteful and extravagant."
And he went down stairs, chuckling
nofllv to l*'";:, If.
"Ain't supper ready?" said he.
"What! cold corned beef and parsnips? t
And biscuit! There wan't no need of
anything but bread and cheese, seein' 1
we're goin' to hev a slap-up supper to
the parsonage. But women hain't no ,
judgment. Here, Clara, put this meat
on the shelf for breakfast to-morrow
inoruin'. An' set them preserves back
in tho closet. Humph ! we'd all fetch
up in the poorhouse if we went ahead '
this fashion." (
Mra. Cummings would have enjoyed 1
her evening at the parsonage, if her (
husband had not glared so severely at
her new bonnet. f
"Gloves, eh?" said he, as she climbed j
out of tho wagon. "Squire Rilleek's
wife don't wear no gloves. I'll go bail
them cost fifty cents! Humph!"
"But they're mended, father?and
I've had 'em a year!"
"Humph!" was all tho reply he
vouchsafed. '
Tho parson, a withered little man in
a threadbare ldaek suit, received his '
guests in h truly t nristian spirit ot '
resignation. i
"I hope tliere'll he enough for them
to eat," whispered he to his better
half, a tall, pale woman.
"I guess likely there will," she responded.
"Most of 'em has brought
victuals?and very little else. I do
wonder how they knew it was our wedding
anniversary ! I tried all I couhj
do to keep it secret."
Everything was there. Plates and
dishes, which matched nothing; brass
warding pans, of no use except for
senseless decorations; tissue paper
flowers, and gruesome worsted work ;
painted banners, and embroidered
"splashers;" crochet lace, and damaged
tidies; am? as they kept arrivxr....

Presently, however, she came to i
Clara with tears in her faded eyes. <
"Oil, Clara!" she faltered, "how
rnn T thank yon enough for your kind i
ness?you nohle generosity ? Mr. Pot- j
ter is as grateful as I am, but his voico 1
issiniply gone. Ho can't sp?ak."
The deacon hugged himself. j
"I knowed that dollar bill would be
a plenty," said he. "Bless mo! there's (
that young Lawyer Harrison, tho parson's
nephew, goin' olf to tho study (
with Clara. He once had quite a notion
to tho gal. Wonder if they're

' IjS, no, deacon!" said his wife.
'It's only little Peter I'ettibono's liontiro.
Tlio <loetor sni 1 ho could hev

house is clear west o' that."
"Pin glad on't," said tlio deacon.
"Polly, what did you do with that
hundred dollars I give you to keep for
me till I got ii ehtinee to bank it?"
IV!rH. Ciiinmings looked puzzled.
"I put it in my little refieule the
>ne ('Itiirt gave me, ' said she "in th
hureRFi drawer. It's hhfe looked up.
I looked in ter it the hist thing befor
1 left the house. Where you goin',

The deacon turned as Fiiiiny eolors
as ?? dying dolphin.
"I jest remembered that I didFi't
fodder the cows afore I started," saFd
ml "X goes/ Jee* ?tep home
n' look aHoi^Hu Gimme the key of

On the outer Jporstep he paused,
icwover. There aai a little buzz and
turn of goaeip in the air.
"Mrs. Potter l[u been oryin' ever

'rom little Gladt Cummings that

Folded away in bag with steel
jrimmins'." *|y \v J
For a second or so deacon stood
motionless as the Sphinx. Then he
turned and went back into the house.
"I guess," muttered he, "ther' ain't
no use in my goin' home to git them
jattle foddered. I may as well stay
in* eat my supper. It's like to cost
me enough."
Clara's face was radiant when she
some to breakfast the next morning,
tnd yet it was a little overclouded
like the sun behind a golden Novcm
ber mist.
"Father,,' said she, "two such
strange things have happened 1 Aleck
Harrison has asked me to be his
wife."
Mrs. Cummings leaned over and
kissed her daughter.
"And," added Clara, "our twc
leather reticules somehow got mixed
up Inst night, and instead'of the tendollar
gold piece I had intended, 1
gave Mrs. Potter mother's bag with s
hundred dollars in bills in it. Oi
nourse you intended it for a surprise,
for the gold piece was gone out of the
>thor bag. Father, dear, it was n
noble act, and I shall explain it?all to
Mrs. Potter."
"No, don't do that !" precipitately
littered the deacon. ".Test, let thuicrs
he ?n they ?rc. I?I rt ruther not iiev
do more said about it!"
And he could not repress a sepulchral
groan.
"I always knew father had a generous
heart," said Mrs. Cummings.
"And the Potters deserve it, if anybody
does. And now, Clara dear, wo
must talk over your wedding things."
From that day on, tho deacon kept
his own counsel, bat ho always had it
lurking suspicion that Clara had
Fathomed his policy.
' 'The least said, the soonest mendod,"
wiid Deacon Cummings. "One thing's
plum' sartin,' though. You won't
never catch me at no more surprise
parties!"?Saturday Night.

A sort of antidecay apparatus has
been invented for preserving pictures.
, It is a glass tray with solid back, and
f the picture is put inside and hermetically
sealed. The air is then exi
haunted with an air pump, with the
j result that in this vacuum the paint
will preserve its pristine freshness
pretty well forever, unless the thing
leaks.
Ttv exposing hen V, egga to the ??pors

development is much retarded and
often results in the production of

eggs of nearly a hundred
hours wero hardly as far developed a?
normal eggs of twenty hours.
A curious method of resuscitation

The half-suffocated man is placed face

Trccc ?+* feli?d f.y electricity in the
great forests of Galicin. For cutting
comparatively soft wood tho tool is in
the form of an auger, which is
mounted on a carriage and is moved
to and fro and revolvod at the same
time by a small electric motor. As the
cut deepens wedges are inserted to prevent
the rift from closing, ami when
the tree is nearly cut through an ax or
hand saw is used to finish the work.
In this way trees are felled very
rapidly and with very little labor.
Ureftt Human Endurance.
President Jeremiah Head of the section
of mechanical science of the British
Association for the Advancement
of Science in his annual address calls
attention, among other things, to the
power in man to withstand varying atmospheric
pressures. "Thus, although
fitted for an extreme atmospheric
pressure of about fifteen pounds
to the square inch, he has been enabled,
as exemplified by Messrs.
Olaisher and Coxwell in 1802, to ascend
to a height of seven miles and
breathe air at a pressure of only three
and one-half pounds to the square
inch and still live. And, on the other
hand, divers have been down into the
water eighty feet deep, on tailing an extra
pressure of about thirty-six pounda
per square inch, and have returned
safely. One has even been to a depth
of 150 feet, but the resulting pressure
of sixty-seven pounds per square inch
cost him his life. These are, however,
extreme cases. Most men experience
great inconvenience at any altitude
i over two and one-half miles, and few
i can stand the rarefied atmosphero
above the threc-and-a-half-milo limit
in the Andes or Himalayas, bo, too,
with the increased pressure; few can
long withstand tlie benumbing effects
of fifty feet below the surface in water,
although the knowledge of the case
with which tho normal pressure may
be again reached lends courage and
assurance, very important factors in
such cases, tothednriiig experimenter,
1 while the extreme lnbor of ascending
mountains or the uncertainties of
' balloon action are deterrent in tho
other direction.

It is said to bo fairly established
that the oommon wart, which is so unsightly
and annoying on the hands and
face, can bo easily removed by small
doses of sulphate of magnesia taken
internally. <M. Colrot, of Lyons, has
drawn attention to this extm.ordinary
fact. ?evoral children treated with
three-grain doses of Epsom salts,
morning and evening, were promptly
cured. M. Aubert cites the case of a
woman whoso face was disfigured by
these excrescences, and who was cured
in ? month by a dram and a half of
magnesia taken daily. Another medical
man reports a case of very larao
warts which disappeared in a fortnight
