Peebles bnd just asked Mr. Merri weather's daughter if she would give him a lift out of bachelordom, and she had said "yes." It therefore becoms absolutely necessary to get the old man's permission, so that, as Peebles said, arrangements might be made lor hopping the conjugal twig. Peebles said he'd ratiier pop the interrogation to all of old Mcrri wcutlicr's daughters, and his sisters, ai:d his female cousins, and his aunt 1 hm null in the country, and the whole of the his female relations, than ask old Merriweathcr. But it had to be done; and so lie sat down and stud ied out a speech which he was to dis gorge' to old MerriWeather tho very first chance begot to shy at him. So Peebles dropped in on him one even ing when all the family had meauder cd to cl S3 meeting, and found him doing a sum 4in beer measure, trying to calculate how many quarts his in terior would hold without blowing the head off of him. "How n -c you Peeh ?'' asked oK. Merri weather, as Peebles walked iu, as white as a piece of chalk, aud trembling as if he had swallowed a condensed earthquake. Peebles was afraid to answer, be cause he wasn't so cure about that speech. He knew he had to kcop his grip ou it while he bad it there, or it would slip away from him quicker than a greased eel through an augur hole. So he blirted right out: "Mr. Merri weather?Sir: Perhaps it may not be unknown to you that during an extended period of some five years I have been busily engaged in the prosecution of a commercial enterprise ?'' "Is that so, and kecpin' it secret all the time, while I thought you was tending #?tnre. Well, by George, you're one of'cm now, ain't yer?" Peebles had to begin all over again, to get the run of it. "Mr. Merri weather ?Sir,: Perhaps it may not be unknown to you that during an cxfcndul period of .some five years, I have beeu engaged in the prosecution of a commercial enter prise, with a sufficient determination to procure a sufficient maintenance. "Sit down, Peeb, and help yourself to some beer. Don't stand there hold ing your hat like a blind beggar with the paralysis. What's the matter with you, anyhow? "I?I never saw you behave s<Hn my born days." Peebles was knocked out of time again, and bad to wonder back for a fresh start. "Mr. Merrtwoather?Sir: It may not be unknown to you that during an extended period of some live years I have been engaged in the prosecution of a commercial enterprise, with a determination to procure a mainten ance?" "A whichance?" asked ?ld Merri wenther; but Peebles held on to the last word, as if it was- his only chance, aud went on: "In the hope that sonic day I might j cuter wedlock, and bestow all my earthly possessions upon one whom I I could call my own. I have been a lonely man, sir, and have felt it is not I good for a man to live aloue therefore ?" I "Neither is it, Peebles, and I'm all I fired glad you dropped in. How's the old man ?" "Mr. Merriweathcr?Sir:" said Peebles, in despairing confusion, iais ing his voice to a yell, "it may not be unknown to you that during an ex tended period of a lonely man, I have been engaged to enter wedlock, and bestow all my commercial enterprise on one whom I could procure a deter j initiation to bo good for sufficient possession?no, I mean?that isr-Miiit, Mr. Merari weather?Sir, it may not be unknown?" "And then again it may. Look here, you'd better lay down and take something warm; you ain't well " Peebles, sweating like a four year old colt went in again: "Mr. Merriweathcr?Sir: It may not bo lonely for you to-prosecute me whom you call a fricud for eoiuinor citri maintenance, bufc-^-but-^h, ?heo | fly?Mr. Merriweather?Sir: it?'i "Oh! Peebles, you talk as wildly aa nu idiot. I uover saw a mdre first clnsa idiot in the whole course of my life. NYhat's the matter with you, any how?" "Mr. Merriweathor-*-Sir:" said Peebles, iu an agony of bewilderment, "it may uoc be unknown to you that you prosecute a lonely man who is not good for a commercial period of wedlock for some five years, but?" "See here, Mr. Peebles, you're^ drunk, and if you dou't behave better than that, you'd better leave. If you don't I'll chuck you out, or I'm a Dutchman.'* "Mr. Mcrriweathcr?SI UP.!" said Peebles, frantic with despair, "It may be unknown that my earthly ]k>sscss ions are engaged to enter wedlock five years with a sufficiently lonely man who is not good for commercial main tenance? "The bloody deuce he isn't. Now you just git up and git, old boss, or I'll kuock what little brains out of you that you've got left." With that old Merriweather took \ Peebles by the collar and shot him in to the street aa if he had just ran against a locomotive going at the rate I of ive miles an hour. Before old Merriweather had a chauce to shut I the door, Peebles had collected bis legs and kone thing and another that were lying around on the pavement, and arranged himself in a vertical position, and yelled: j "Mr. Merriw-nthcr?Sir: It may not be unknown to you?'" which [ made tho old man so savagely mad that he went out and set a bull terrier on Peebles, who went home half a pound lightc?y-while Merriweather asserts to this day that they had to draw all the dog's teeth to get the flesh out of bis mouth, for he bad a awful bolt tor such a small animal. -U-III I - Why Hen Need Wives, It is not to sweep the house, and make the bed, and darn the sock-, and c?>ok tine meals, chiefly that a man wants a wife. If this is all ho needs, hired help can do it cheaper than a wife. It this is all, when a young man calls to see a lady, send him in:o the pntitry to taste tho bread and cakes she has made; send him to in | spoct the needlework and bed mak ing, or put a broom into her hand and send him to witness its use. Such tilings aro important, and the wise j young man will quietly look after I them. But wliat a true man most wants of a true wife is her companionship, sympathy, courage and love. The way of lite has many dreary places in it and a mau needs a companion to go with him. A man is sometimes over taken with misfortune; he meets with failure and defeat; trials and tempta tions beset him, and he needs one to stand by and sympathize, lie has some stern battles to fight with pover ty, with enemies and with sin; he needs a woman that, while he puts bis arm around her he feels that lie has something to fight for and will help him to fight; that will put her lips to his car and whisper words of counsel, and hot- hands to his heart und impiirl now inspirations. All through life, through storm und through sunshine, conflict and victory, through adverse ai.d favoring winds, man needs a wo man's love. The heart yearns for it. A sister's or a mother's love will hard ly supply the need. Yet many seek for nothing more than success in house work. Justly enough, half of these get nothing more; the other half, surprised above measure, have gotten more than they sought. Their wives surprise them by bringing a noble idea of marring., and disclosing a treasury of courage, sympathy and love. Misa Agues Bcckwitb, daughter of the proprietor of Lambeth Baths, London, England, recently won a purse of one hundred pounds and a gold medal by swimming overlive miles in one hourttnd nine minutes. She is only fourteen. Something to Read on Sunday. . The whole family climbed mit of the wagon aud went into the A limit book 8 tore. They were father nnil mother,and a Sixtceu-year-old daughter. "Mister, wo want lor ?orter git soJsnothin' good to read on Sunday, which is powerful lonesome in the country." "Shall be glad to serve you, sir. What will the ladies like?" "What d'ye want, Sofy?" "I'd choose soracthin' 'bout the new fushions, pa 1" "Of koarse, I mought nknow'd that 1 Kin you fix her out?" "ph, yes," replied the storekeeper, ?'wo Jhave hero Gwleg, Leslie, //'/r/jer' JJaiuar, Peterson, Demorcst, aud numerous other magazines." "Gody? W'y you don't tell hie heViive an' figcrin' out fashions yet, do ye?" cried the old man. "Oh yes?" und the reply. "Well, centennial snakes and crow barred breeches; W'y ole 'o on tan, don't ye mind ye that we bed our wed din' close fixed up artcr his plan ? Gody? Of koarse, Sofy, ye'II take Jody, and I'll bet the bob Uiiled mule an' the black sboat that what he says is tho fashion can'' be discounted." "Whnt will your wife like?" asked the merchant, as the old man paid for th a magazine. "Spraethiu' that's got good church rcadm"* iu it?sonic religious paper, cf ye.^leose," roplied the old lady. "H?re is the best wc have?the Chrishuii tit Work." "Hold up thar ! Is that got any of that Brecher an' Tilting bi/.incss in "ssoir?' "?'ycr bizness, nnyhc>wT| S'pose there is?'*-fired up the old lady. "Taint! hey! "No, 'taint! So'a it's church read in' it don't bother you, sir; so dry up!" "Well, m ebbe that's so; what I read don't bother you, too ? All right, mister; jist hand mo out a dozen 'lustratcd papers full of pictures of | legs with striped slockin's on ami fifty dollar garter, and ? The old lady chucked the Christian at Work under the table, grabbed the old man by the ear, and if he had worn striped stockings, about eleven inches of them would have been seen between the tops of his shoes and tin bottoms of his pants' legs, as she made him walk Spanish out to the wagon. ?Atlanta Constitution, Expressions of the Emotions. There is nothing more wonde; ful in nature than this expressiveness of the human face, nor anything which ex cites a wider sympathy than this ex pression of the emotions. The whole charm of art lies iu the expression, and no art is so powerful as the dram atic, in which words arc interpreted by looks and gestures. Any one who has seen a great play well acted, will know that eveu the most powerful words eofrvey half their moaning with out a visible embodiment. Tho countenance utters a thousand things which words miss or mar. In delicate natures it is as sensitive as the surface of a lake, and is rufllcd or calmed by every breath of feeling. Each shade of passion, from rage to tenderncs from love to hate, from joy to misery, has its peculiar reflection, and ti e slightest shados of variation are pe - ccplible. A glance, a blush, a smib ,' a tear will convey in an instant the thought which a poet would labor for hours to express, ami which he would, after all, fall short of. mm ? ?i They were husband and wife, and as they stood before the Soldiers' monument she asked: "What's that figger on top?" "That's a goddess," he answered. "And what's a goddess?" "A woman who holds her tongue," he replied.
