His many sar? castic remarks and suggestions did not abash the young man in the least, though they word often quite severe, [i . One evening Mrs. Pettigrew received a pretty little note from a young lady of their acquaintance, saying that she would spend the next day with her and hoped she should be welcome. / The writer, Florrie Vail, was an orphan, who lived with an old aunt, to whom she gave a home. She was something of an heiress, a fact which had prevented her marriage with Joel before now. They were en? gaged, but Joel was sturdily independent and would not take her from her own home until he could give her another as good. True to her promise, Florrie came over the next day about 10 o'clock, "walkin' into tho room as quiet as a little white mouse," as Mrs. Pettigrew told her. ?: Sho put her arms around Mrs. Petti grew's neck, kissed her cheek and cried a' little. "Fvo heard all about your trouble, dear," sho said; "I wrote Joel Taboutit, for I knew you wouldn't. But, indeed! he would rather know. I wanted to lend the money to 1?3 father, and so 1 wrote Joel, but he made no reply to that, or at least this is what ho did write." Blushing, she held her snow flake of a hand over tho upper corner, and Mrs. Pettigrew pretended she did not see tho words, "My sweetest treas? ure." The letter read as follows: "Go and spend the day with my folks Th?rs day I will be home on the noon train TeU them not to send to the station for . me, as some one else will take me o ver, Sunless niy calculations are wrong. Mrs. Pettigrew read aloud so far, then- You r-Ioyehost of aU darlings"- "There, you k?v?re^ enough," laughed Florrie, all blushes and smiles, faking the letter from her, "but what do you suppose hev means about 'calculat&r&'etc?": g| "I dunno. Joel's. allns so res'lute, Mebbe 'tis jest as well you wrote all about it to 'im. Anyhow, Tm glad he^s <xania'- homer We'll . have a few more happy times together in the old home." "0; a good many morel" exclaimed Home; "Joel can do/Bomethmg," with .'all a younggirl'sfaithinher lover. "I reckon he'll be here by. l o'doclc, fed let's all hands to wort an* hey dinner ready to chuck -right en the table soon's he drives up. You. go an'tell Myrtle. She an' Sams in the best room." Florrie had great, appealing blue eyes and pale-gold hair. Her complexion was like a rose leaf and her mouth shaped like Cupid's bow. Of medium height, slightly built and 'graceful In every motion, surely Joel had shown good taste when he fell so desperately in love with her. At 1 o'clock all assembled in the wing room. They had laid the table with snowy linen and bright glass and silver, and adorned it with a huge bunch of asters, a present fro". Sam, for a center - piece and for a special greeting*ofc Joel. ' Everything was ready and bo they waited for Joel, and they did not know who else, but expectation kept every one silent excepting Sam, whose occa? sional attempts at conversation met with no encouragement from Myrtle, to whom they were directed. At last Florrie Cried, "He is coming;" then they all rushed to the window. Mrs. Pettigrew saw, at first, only Joel. "Dear boy," she said, "how handsome he's grown, and who?-Cyril, be I a drcammVor is .that Jabez Beedwalkm' long side o'Joel?* "Yls, that's the old coot I allus thought Joel'd do somethin' with 'im." In' reality, Cyril had never allowed him? self to hope anything from Joel in this matter. By this time Myrtle had reached the -'door, aad admitted Joel, with Jabez Reed, whom it proved to be. Joel gave his sister a hug, and grasped a hand each of father and mother, while a fond smile told Florrie she was not unnoticed. : rHe was<u>trong, sinewy man, with keen gray eyes, thick chestnut hair and a straight nose. He. had a square chin and firm well formed lips. His whole face expressed strong will and deter? mination, but had, usually, a look of serenity and good nature. Now, he seemed to be keeping under control seme powerful emotion. "Father," he said, turning to Cyril, "Mr. Reed has called to make some nec? essary explanations." Mr. Reed-was;1reddermthe face than usual, and had a hang-dog expression which did not add to his good looks. "Wall," he commenced, "yew see 'twas funny, but jest as I was think?V o' comin' over to bring that 'are receipt, Joel, he come in and said he'd found the fust one." "You,. Joell i How?" all exclaimed at once. "Never mind now; dont interrupt Mr. Reed,?' cautioned Joel. "0,1 ain't got much to Bay. ~>1 joked 'em some tother day, an' they got mad an1 a tuk it in earnest, so I thought Td wait a while an'let'em git over it fore I come agin. Here," taking a paper from bis pocket,' "is the satisfaction piece to the 'mortgage. Joel, he's got the receipt. I'm glad on't; it'll save me writin' another. . Hope ye don't none on jq bear malice." This being received in dead silence, he shuffled his feet, looked into his hat for inspiration, and finding none, remarked that he "guessed he'd be goin', his horse didn't stand verygood." . Joel, opened the doer for him, and mak? ing a low bow, said, "Since you wish tobe known as a joker, you may include the remarks which I made to you about tar -and feathers and call it all one huge joke," ? "x "YiB, yis," he muttered abjectly, "youngfoIkB w?l hev their sport," and shuffled off, evidently glad to escape. Cyril sat down in his arm chair by tho stove, and laughed and chuckled.' "I . knew Joel *ud make it all right. I knew it, but Joel, how in the name o' wonder did ye git that ah? receipt?" "Why, mother put it in the box she sent me. I found it, all rolled up in one of my shirts. I thought she sentit be? cause ^she wished me to see it, and in? tended to write about it at once, but I was busy, and the time went by, but, thauks to the. good sense bf, .this little, girl," takingj'lorrie's hand lovingly, "I heard-what- that rascal^was about, and; caxpe> oirat jmc^^;^eni^raD^he star. . tion: rtb; Reea'^"houBe,^'and Vaated hinr what the I trouble was, not telling him that I had the receipt He said father thought he had paid him, but was mis? taken, and was probably losing his mind -^-getting to imflgme 'things. ..When I produced the receipt, you' should have seen his jaw fall. He tried- to laugh, and make light of the matter. I told him, however, that' he must come with me at once, and apologize, or a ride, after dark, dressed in a suit of tar and feathers, might be the alternativa Thegrest you know. He apologized as well as he knew how. It is all past now. Let's forget the scamp. We're pretty comfortable, aren't we, mother?" putting one arm around Mrs. Pettigrew's. waist and the other around Florrie, The example was infectious, and Sam seemed to think the time had come to embrace Myrtle, but, when he made the attempt, was promptly extinguished. ? , Cyril regarded his son with a proud smile. "0,1 thought Joel "ud do some thin'," he repeated. "To think, though, cr* that old coot's wantin' to marry our Myrtle. What doypu think o' that, Joe?" "I think his effrontery is only equaled by his dishonesty, but let it all pass. Mother, I smell something good cooking. Let's have dinner." Auce M. Ladd. A Knife with a. History. There is a gentleman living in this city who has in his possession a knife once owned by Jim Bowie, which was given him by Juan Padfllo, a man who left the Lafltte band of pirates to follow the for? tunes of Bowie, and who i3 still living. The knife is of tempered steel, the blade sixteen inches long, with a steel guard and buckhorn handle. The handle is dressed smooth where the hand clasps it, and on one side is a silver plate, one and one-half inches long, set into the handle, on which is scratched, in rude charac? ters, "Jim Bowie." On the steel guard of the knife, on the upper side, two notches have been cut with a file, which old Juan Padillo said were cut to mark ' the number of men Bowie had killed with the knife. On the lower Bide of the guard are three notches, which are said to represent the number of Indians scalped with the same knife. The knife was given by Bowie to Padillo while Bowie was a resident of San Augustine, Tex., and was presented by Padillo to its present owner in 1862, when tho latter succeeded in recovering from tho Co manches ten head of horses, which they had stolen from Padillo's ranch, thirty five miles west of San Antonio.--Honey Grove (Vex.)

TWO DETERMINED GMS. THEY LEFT HOME TO GET MARRIED AND WOULDN'T BE PUT OFF. They Failed to Got the Men They at First Wanted, bat Got the Next Best?A trade of Brides TJavrlttingly Made a Clerk WhV Wrote the Licenses. - "Did you ever witness a double wed* ding in which there was an exchange of brides and grooms at the altar?" asked John Moran a well known Walnut street rann, - "No, sir; I never did," replied the scribe, ??Well, I can tell you of an event of that description. It happened in this way: One afternoon, not long ago, two young men whom I "had known in Streator, His., came to me and informed me that they had induced two Bisters to elope with them from a town in central Kansas, and that' it was necessary that the nuptial knot be tied without delay. They were, they, said, expecting the irate father, and the grown up muscular brothers of the girls to arrive in the city on the next train, with 'blood in their eyes.' As the 'boys' were old school? mates Of mine, of course I told them that they had but to command me and I was at their service. "We hired a carriage and drove to the hotel where tho young ladies were await? ing the return of then-to be husbands, whose names are William B?? and Charles W-. It was then nearly {5 o'clock p. m. As soon as we could get the girls into the carriage we hurried to Recorder Hinder "office, where William and Charley presented themselves before the marriage license clerk and requested that they bo given the documents neces? sary to entitle them to wed their girls. As I remarked before, the girls are sis? ters. Their given or Christian names are Lillio and lidie. After obtaining the licenses tho young men and their ladies and myself went to the residence of a preacher, whose name I have forgotten. " His church is on the east side of the city, and' not more than six blocks away from The Journal office. Handing him the licenses, William and Charles requested him to join their lov? ing hearts in tho bonds of matrimony at once. Now Lillie was. the intended of William, and Lidie the intended of Charles.. Don't forget that. "You can better imagine tho conster? nation'of the members of the wedding party, than I .can describe it, when the discovery was made that the young man who had issued the licenses had assigned Lillie to Charles and Lidie to William as life partners. In their haste to put their hecks into the hymeneal halter the young men had thrust the licenses - into their pockets when they were^handed to them by the Hcense clerkjr without in? specting them to see if they were rightly made: out, ,"They did not discover that a mistake had. been made until after they had joined hands and the parson began the double ceremony by saying: 'Do you, William???> take Lidie . for your lawful, wedded wife? ?Bfc?pl' ex? claimed William, 'l am marrying Lillie, not. Lidie,' 'No> sir,' retorted the par? son, 'you ore not. . You are licensed to Wed ladje ?-,' 'The-you say?beg pardon, sir.' ejaculated William. 'Let nie see the document!' "The license was shown him, and there, sure enough, was Lidie's name coupled with his own. Tho proceedings were immediately suspended, the parson in ? forming the young men and the ladies that he could hot marry them until their licenses were in proper form. Lillie and Lidie began weeping and nearly went Into hysterics. William and Charles and I assured them that wo would have the mi stakes in the licenses rectified. Leav? ing the young ladles in tho parson's par? lor, we rushed out of tho house* and jumped into ;our carriage, in which we were driven at a rapid pace to the court house, at Second and Main streets. Great was our disappointment and vexa? tion when we found tho recorder was not at home and was out of the city. Knowing nothing else to do, we returned to the parson's residence. VThey sorrowfully told tho young ladies that they had failed to obtain hew licenses,. They urged the parson to marry them, and told him they would have the necessary alterations, made in Ithe-documents the next day. .But the parson'ifirmly refused.', He pointed out to them , the fact " that the recorder was bound by his records, and they must show that the marriages took place in accord? ance with the licenses. By this time the young ladies had ceased weeping. ? "Retiring to a corner of the room they held a whispered consultation, at the. end of which Lillio called William to her and informed him that she and Lidie had decided that they would not leave the house except as tbe wives of himself and Charles. 'Butthe preacher won't marry us/ said William. 'Yea, he will,' re? torted Lillie, 'and you and Charlie have got to agree to it.' William said he didn't catch on, whereupon Lillie nearly took his breath away by informing him that she and Lidie had agreed to let the licenses stand as they were and get mar? ried according to them. 'If you and Charley don't do that we will take tho first train and return home,' said she, ?and never marry either of you.' It was then William and Charles' turn to con? sult. After talking the matter over for ten niinutes they arrived at the decision that, as a. mistake in the licenses had been made, which could net be-cor? rected in time to enable them to have the double wedding come off as intended, and as the girls had decided to 'swap' one for the other, they would make the best of a bad matter and go ahead with tho ceremony. If they couldn't get the life.partners selected, they would not re? main wifeless. The parson was informed of the new aspect the affair had taken on, and ho began again the ceremony where he left off. Tho result was .that Lillie became the wife of Charles and Lidie the wife of William, ami I stood up as best -man for the coupliv-. It wasn't exactly according to thtfprn^Wuiiisre, but I guess all parties eoiiconmi an- satis? fied."?Kansas City Journal. An Improved life Saving Not. A net designed to be held beneath the windows of a binning building, so that the inmates in jumping or falling upon it will not bo injured, has been patented by Mr. Malcohn Hunter, of No. 82 Dutch Kill street, Long Island City, N. ,Y. This net is preferably made about ten feet in diameter, of Russian bolt rope three-quarters of an inch in circum? ference, and with a three-sixteenths inch outside galvanized grasping chain, but has an approximately solid rope center ^piece, with ropes radiating therefrom to form the body proper of the net. Each of the radiating ropes is equal in length to the full diameter of the net, and they are so intertwined and spliced with short pieces as to mako at tho center a compact, closely united piece, affording great strength, [while still designed to act as a cushion for a body falling thereon. Tho use of a grasping chain instead of a heavy rope permits the net to be folded into a small compass.?Sci? entific American. Vesuvius' Mew Departure, Vesuvius has lately been very active. It has been rapidly throwing up a new cone of eruption about thirty to forty yards to the southwest of tho original ono, and the fissure across the crater plane towards tho west-southwest is in? creasing in size and is richer in acid em? anations. It Is possible, therefore, that an eruption may take place soon on that side of the cone, since the vent tends to shift along tho fissure pointing in that direction.?New York World.

When you think matters have gone far enough suggest your own ?s a compromise, This having been arranged to your satisfaction, proceed to ingratiate your? self with the stage manager by telling him what has been said behind his back by the other members of the cast*. If ho don't resign he will offer you the leading part. Before deciding upon your costume wait until you learn what your most dangerous rival in the company intends to'Wear. As soon as you receive the de? sired information take the advico Of your dressmaker. Study your part with' care. At re? hearsal miss your cue whenever you can and apologize sweetly. B9 oh your guard against betraying the business you intend to introduce when you lmve the stage to yourself, and in general allow the'other "actors lb derive the opinion that nothing but a regard for your feel? ings prevents the stage manager from re? questing you to resign the part that has been assigned to you. In the meantime cultivate the manager. Give ho trouble about your dressing room. Say that a corner and a table are all you care for. Choose the best corner, ' however, and bring a chest of drawers containing everything you can possibly need in a quantity sufficient to prevent your lending to Other members of the company When suggestions are offered jboyb?asto where you ought to stand, how to speak and when to gesticulate, adopt each in turn as it is made. Per? mit the leading man, who will of course be your lover, to gradually evolve the theory that though you cannot act, you are not stiff or prudish, and that you are a nice little thing. Agree with him when he objects to shaving his mustache. When he whispers under his breath that he wishes the play were reality, smile and. blush. From time to time'applaud the others, especially when they overact, and say mournfully: "Oh, I wish you all were not so much better than II" You may also 'contrive to impress each of your as? sociates privately with the notion'that you consider him or her the star of the troupe. This you will not find difficult. When you press, people to buy tickets, say, "Oh you must come! Mr. Biggies is so funny! and Miss Lascelles Is going to look so lovely In court dress, don't you know! and Mr. TollderoU is to be my lover," and then permit your hearers to guess from your expression that there Is more in Mr. To 11 der oil's love making than you yourself imagine. Mr. Tollderoll may say more about the stage directions for the reconciliation scene than perhaps ha ought Of course, realism is not for a moment to be thought of, but there can be no great reason why Mr. Tollderoll should not be allowed to mislead him pelf with false expectations. If yoU choose to make him jealous of Mr. Biggies, very well, but be careful to re? turn to a good understanding with Mm before the dress rehearsal. As for Miss Lascelles, you may disarm her by turn? ing Mr. Tollderoll over to her for a half hour or so whenever practicable and by telling her in strict confidence that he is afraid of falling in love with her because he has so little-money. Improve a little in your acting as the dress rehearsal draws nigh so as not to take your associates entirely by surprise. Suggest to the manager that you are only nervous over the result of the play. As soon as it is too late for Miss Lascelles to change her dress show her yours. Be seen drinking coffee before the play begins, and stand as near tho footlights as you can so as to get yourself flushed. When the curtain is rung up exhibit a little natural timidity at flrst, but grad? ually recover from that, and as the play proceeds- have no mercy on any one except Mr. Tollderoll, whom you will, of course, encourage. When you are called out after the first act insist that they are applauding Miss Lascelles, and that she must go out alone; after the second go out with her, and after the third go out alone. The next day meet Mr. Tollderoll in tho street and smile at him mildly. If he joins you go into a shop.?Phiiadel ! phia Times. Origin of tho' Menu. Here is another custom of the ancients, and ono in which we can seo the origin of our menu cards. Each guest, as soon as he had Bettled' upon his couch, was handed a paper upon which was written the name of every article to be served at tho. feast and in the order in which it was to be served?a convenient, if not an in? dispensable custom; indeed, in the pres? ent day we would be apt to look upon the omission as barbarous, for what could be moro so than to keep a man of mod? erate gastronomic capacity in ignorance of some coming delicacy, and thus allow him, in tho dark, to crowd it out with some previous dish or dishes which he may tolerate rather than fancy.?Table Talk. Syrup of Figs. Is Nature's own true laxative.

"Did n't Know't was Loaded" May do for a stupid hoy's excuse ; but what can he said for tho parent who sees his child languishing daily and fails to recognize tho want of a tonic and blood-purifier? Formerly, a course of bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families ; hut now all intelligent households keep Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. "Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton st., Boston, writes: " My daughter, now 21 years old, was in perfect health until a year ago when she began to complain oi fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con? cluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayers Sarsuparilla. This medicine soon restored bur blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time re?stab lishedhcr former health. I find Ayer'a Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for .the lassitude aud debility incident to spring time." J. Costright, Brooklyn Power Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "As a Spring Medicine, I find a splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayer's Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of Ayer's Pills.

She, a girl of 1G years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I called on the very best doctors tbat the country could afford, and they tended on her for four years to no purpose. Her leg got worse every year. I used about 30 bottles of other med? icine to no purpose. Tho doctors said the only remedy left was amputution. That we all was opposed to. I was in Knoxville the 6th of Janua? ry, 1886, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Charaberland &? Co. recommend the.B. B. B. I purchased one-half doion bottles, and to my utter surprise after using three or four bottles my girl's leg was entirely healed. I also had a very ugly running sore on the calf of my leg and one bottle cured it, after having tried all other remedies. I wish you much success, and I .do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier. I have tried three or four other purifiers, but tho B. B.
