ONE UHAKOtt

Is St. Louis a hysterical woman, jealous without cause, cut her throat with a razor in the middle of the night, and the husband, sleeping by her side, was awakened by the deluge of blood which spaated over him.. As the two had quarreled and she bad often accused him of attempting to poison her, suspicion naturally fell upon the husband. The Republican gives the following graphic ac jount of the manner in which his innocence was proved: 'After a few'cross-questions, which elicited nothing additional beyond the fact that Traske bad not seen Miss Eifel for over two years, and did not even kni»w her present abode or employment, the coroner asked him if be would have any objections to taking off his clean clotheB, patting on the bloody ones which be bad discarded, and taking a position in the bed such as he occupied when he awoke and discovered the suicide. The object of this was, plainly, to determine whether the blood marks would correspond with the position of the body, with the other blood marks on the bed and with those on the wall. No amount of ingenuity would bf ve enabled him, were be guilty, to have made these circumstantial witnesses falsify in his favor, and it was a surs test. He replied, that be would willingly do as desired if It would aid the jury in arriving at the truth, and without delay he stripped off all bis clothing and put on the gory undershirt, overshirt and drawers. The jurors and other few spectators maintained a perfect silence while this work was in progress, for be it remembered, up to this time there was no certainty whether it was a murder or suicide that was being considered. When the bloody clothes were donned, the man's face looked ghastly by the contrast. The low ceiling and poor light of the little room gave the silent group with the shocking feature in its center a most picturesque appearance. The whispered remark weat around that the left sleeve of the shirt was free from blood save at the cuff, while the right sleeve was red all over, clear up to the shoulder. The front of the shirt was uniformly red save a point about opposite the right elbow. The front of the drawers were bloody in

5Sw

atches,

and the back of the shirt had a clearly defined blood spots on it. Walking over to the b6d, which was in the corner most remote from the lamp, the man stepped over the foot, and turning dew the feather bed, which was used as a coverlet, lay down on the bloody sheet beside the body of his wife. Then his pale face was. more ghastly than ever. It took strong nerve to endure that ordeal, but the horrible cloud bad to be lifted from bis name, and Traske did not perceptibly shudder. The crowd gathered around the bed, and somebody brought the lamp. If the picture mentioned above was striking, this one was almost overwhelming. One man shuddered, grew dizzy and staggered out of the room. Traske put himself ia the position as he lay when his wife's blood roused him, and the instant he did so he was acquitted. Each line of blood as it was marked on the sheets was taken up by the lines on his shirt and carried over to the wall. His right arm lay easily over the spot wbion was white on his .shirt front, showing bow that spot had been protected. The whole arm came in the oourse of the thick stream, and that was why it was red to the shoulder. Tbe spurts had been moving diagonally toward the foot of the bed, and while taking in his right shoulder, had left his left shoulder clean. His left arm, lying along side bis body, was protected from the blood, all save the wrist, which was not thus protected. He showed how, when be felt the blood, he started op, and when he did so, it was plalu how the spurts had struck tbe back of his shirt. He left the bed a vindicated man, which a moment before be had lain down upon under one of tbe worst of all suspicions. Nobody who witnessed that acene will ever forget it."

STA YINO ON THE FA RM. The Prairie Farmer thinks there is no doubt that tbe boy who is to grow up and stay on the farm and make a successful faimer, must like bis profession. This la as true in agriculture as in any other profession in life. If the boy be worked from daylight to dark, week in and week oat, with no, recreation except what be gets at church, very likely be will leave borne at the first opportunity for some more oongenial occupation. We believe that, as a rale, farmer* work too tnaxy hoar* and give themselves too little reoreatlon. We believe that In this day of Improved machinery for nearly every operation of the farm, a full amount of necessary labor may be accomplished In ten hours, except In seeding and harvest time. Of oourse there are always necessary chores that must be done at tbe beginning and ending of tbe day, but there is no need that these bo accomplished daring the very early or very late hours of tbe morning or •venlng. Tbe farmer, as a rule, who works himself, his children and his hands, twelve, thirteen or fourteen hours a day, seldom gets as ifiuCb accomplished at tbe year's end as he who by wise forethought systematizes his labor and carries It forward during short er hours. For, thesystem thus remains fresh for labor, and it is carried forward swiftly and unremittingly. The team worked constantly, for twelve hours a dav, soon becomes sluggish, and will aooompllsh no more In the given time than It would In eight or ten hours. In fact, we believe the average team will accomplish more in eight hours than in ten, one day with another. A farmer adopting as*a rule these hours of field labor, except in pressing seasons, will find It to woik well. So It is with men, and especially boys. If overworked, boys become stolid and slow—old before their time.

On the other band, if allowed plenty of time for recreation (as necessary to the young as food), they return to labor not only with vigor, bnt they learn to love labor as a means to Increased com-

home adornment. Especially will this be the case If they be given a garden bed or two for flower* and vegetables, if they be allowed to dispose o! the produce as they please. Buy them seeds, plants and bulbs. They need not necessarily be ex pensive. These may serve as a little source of revenue to their poeketa as tbey increase, and from their store they can sell and buy or exchange. Furnish them papers and books to teach them the art, and it will not be money illy spent. Above all, Send them to school, that their minds may be broadened by education.' The boy or girl reared on tije farm, with only three months schooling in winter, with tbe school house perhaps along distance from borne, and three hours chores morning and evening, are likely to become disgusted with the farm and seek other employment as soon as they are out of leading strings.

Happily, nowadays this is fast becoming less and less" common. Our free school system makes it not difficult for the boy or girl reared on the farm, conducted on modern principles, to get a good, practical education, and some of the 'Snish,' as well. As a eountry settles we find neighborhoods here and there where a beginning is madointbe adornment of the bouse and grounds. The example shown is appreciated, and one and another takes up tbe idea, until at Jength an entire neighborhood, as means permit, build better barns and dwellings and outhouses. Trees are planted, vines cluster about porches, shrubs and foliage plants adorn the lawn, flower beds here and there are seen glowing with color, fence corners are kept tidy. Inside the dwelling are books, magazines, and the welcome agricultural paper with the varied intelligence contained. There is an air of cheerfulness and thrift everywhere, evidence that the master, while looking out carefully for the every day routine of the farm, has an eye as well to tbe intellectual wants of fithe household. Such homes will never be found the result of overworking tbe family, but of a wise alternation of labor and recreation, each in its proper time and place. The children of these homes are contented to stay and be happy. There is still room for improvement in this direction among the masses.

A WIFE'S GRATITUDE TO BOB INOERSOLL. Mrs. L. A. W., of Cleveland, Ohio, writes a card -for the New York Sun, expressing her gratitude to Col. Ingersoll for the great good he has done her through his lecture on "The Liberty of Man, Woman and Child." She says:

We were residing in Syracuse when he camQ there to lecture on the above subject. My husband went, and I sat up until he returned from the lecture. At about eleven o'clock my husband came running into the house almost breathless, saying that he had heard the best lecture he ever heard in his life, and the reason he had hurried home so fast was that the lecture bad made him think so much more of bis wife and children than he had ever thought before he could not get along fast enough, so great was bis desire to tell us of it. .He said that all the seraions he had ever heard, and all the books he had ever read, had not filled him with such a love for bis family and for mankind as that lecture bad.

I thought nothing of this at the time, but a whole year has elapsed since then, and it has been the happiest year of my life. My husband's whole manner toward bis family has changed since that night. He is always cheerful, and when addressing me his voice assumes tbe same tone and softness that it used to possess when he came down to father's house three or four times a week, just to see how father's health was. The children have caught the spirit of cheerfulness which seems to permeate their father, and my ears are ringing with their merriment continually.

My husband was never forgetful of his family, but his orthodoxy made him morose and sour. A thousand thanks to Col. Ingersoll for the great good he has done me personally, although I have never seen or heard him. 'H-'"

HIS FIRST VISIT TO CHURCH. Many a parent has had tbe experience which the Danbury News tells of Mr. and Mrs. Pryden, who took their little boy to church on Sunday. It was bis first day in pants and bis first time in church. For the first half of tbe service be was fully absorped in things about him and the novelty of tbe situation. After that his mind turned in upon himself, and he began to pay attention to bis own wants, and Mr. and Mrs. Pryden, from an exultant feeling of pride, gradually slipped down an inclined plane of anxiety which emptied into an abyss of despair. The number of positions the youth got into and tbe wants he manifested would seem incredible were they not witnessed by a full score of respectable people. As soon as be took in a realizing sense of his own identity, Master Pryden began to comprehend and respond to tbe de mands of bis nature. He got up on bis knees and stared at the oboir. He twisted back again to the front, and was only saved from falling by the alertness of his pa. Tbe floor being thus suggested to him be got down on it. Tben he

ot up on the seat again. From this place desired to change to a position between bis pa and ma. He was accommodated. After resting quietly there for twenty seconds be changed to tbe other side of bis pa. Thence ho moved to his pa's lap. From there be went to tbe other side of his ma. Tbis wss evidently a mistake, for be Immediately expressed a wish to get back to tbe other side of his pa, and on tbeir attempting to lift him there be kicked and cried, and was only silenced by being allowed to walk tbe distance, which he did at once. The motion so pleased him tbat he went straightway back again and tried it over. Also for the second snd third time. Then be got op again between bis ma and pa. gVfter that to the other side of his pa. Then he espied a gilt backed book in tbe rack of the next pew, and reaching over to get It catue within an ace of depositing bis entire carcass on tbe other side, but was clutched in time by both of bis parents and hauled safely back, very red In the face and very indignant. Disappointed in this venture he turned his attention to tbe rack In his own pew, and possessed himself of tbe books therein, which being taken away from him, made it necessary that he should get them again. These he dropped on tbe floor one at a time, and smiled the guileless smile of infancy as they were picked up by his embarrassed parents. Pretty well exhausted be now prepared for sleep, and rested his head upon bis mother's breast and closed his eyes. His parents sighed. Tben be slipped down on the floor, sliding in such away as to leave quite an expanse of white goods between his pants and Jacket, and to roll tbe collar of tbe jacket upon tbe ol his head. Tbe clothing

bade

so hard as to nearly dislodge bis own scalp. He saw tbe scowl and sullenly sank down on tbe floor, from which he had to be lifted by main foroe. Then be took out the hymns sgain, and was going to drop them as before, when bis pa interfered and rescued them. He re sented tbis liberty by throwing back bis head, which coming in sharp contact with the back of tbe seat, wrenched from his lips a shrill cry. Tbe unhappy mother endeavored to stifle in her shawl so muob of tbe wail she could not whisper away, while his pa's face was full of great drops of perspiration of which pa himself was unconscious. The wail not abating, pa's knife containing four blades was brought into service, and then tbe cry bushed. For a full moment be was absorbed in the contemplation of this object. And tben be let it drop. There was no carpet in tbe pew. Two-thirds of the congregation raised from their scats, and Mr. Pryden himself came almost to a perpendicular. Tben tbe hymn was given out and sung, and the benediction pranounced, and Mr. and Mrs. Pryden, with their heir between them, started for home, Mr Pryden being so warm that he took off his overcoat and gave a boy ten cents to carry it home for bim.

HOW BEN BUTLER ESCAPED A MARRIAOE. The following story is told by a correspondent of the Chicago Times at Monmouth, 111., and if it is true we are convinced tbat Ben BttUer was a mean man when he was a boy. No gentleman would take advantage of a girl in tbat way: Ben Butler commenced bis career as a diplomat and an artful dodger at an early age. While attending college at Waterville, Me., ho became engaged to an estimable young lady there, but, desiring for some reason to sever the engagement, the prospective reformer adopted a novel plan to accomplish his purpdse. The family of the young lady were prominent io the temperance cause and sternly arrayed against tbe flowing bowl. Wishing to shock their sensibilities in the highest degree, Ben indnlged In a bogus but glorlons drdnk, swaggering abound the town in most rowd3r like fashion, and conducting himself generally in a manner tbat made the veritable and most accomplished bummer envious. He finally rolled an inoffensive citizen into a ditch and was promptly waltzed off to the calaboose. He chuckled heartily over his strategy, counting bis disgrace as nothing compared with the success of his scheme. His affianced was overwhelmed by his downfall, and dispatched a note to him releasing him from his engagement, while her father requested bim to never darken tbeir doorway again. Ben, appropriately called the "Beagt^" was jubilant, and gleefully paying bis fine, be emerged from the police court with a proud and victorious tread, a free man prepared to browse in pastures new, ft"? A-S'i HOW TO GET ON IN THE WORLD.

A bit of advice to young men who are trying to get ahead: Never complain that your employers are selfish. Not that they are otherwise, but it will not help matters to growl about it. They are selfish. Tbeir employers, when they were young, were no doubt selfish, and from them they learned tbe lesson. Tou, too, will learn it, and when you become employers you'll be selfish, too. It is from selfish motives tbat men engage in trade, and selfishness rules their actions. Of course it would be better, and wiser, and all that, if they were not selfish, but they are. Now, what are you going to do about it 'Why, make it for their selfish interest to do better by yon, and they will. Respect yourselves and you'll make them respect you* Remember that you are at a disadvantage, that there area hundred ready to climb Into your place if you do not fill It, and tbat those who employ you are fully aware of the fact and ready to make the most they can out of it. Remember tbat if you are getting $1,000 tbis year, and want $1,500 next year, you've got to earn $l,50i tbis year. You've got to pay for promotion, often an exorbitant price, and as you have no other means to pay witb, you've got to pay in work. Of course it's unjust, of course it seems bard that your employer should keep and spend money tbat you have justly earned, but, Causeur's word for it, it won't pay to fret or growl about it. Never be satisfied with having "earned your money." Earn more than your money and then, in a straightforward, manly, businesslike way, ask for more pay. Ten chances to one you'll get it. If you don't, look about, and as soon 'as you've found a better place, discharge your employer. The bard work tbat you have done, tbe record of it, and tbe reputation you will have established for bard work, will make the ta&k of finding new employment comparatively easy. Your capacity for work is your only capital. Invest heavily and you are sure to win.

THE NEWSPAPER ASA READER. We have always regarded a good newspaper as a valuable aid In teaching children to read understanding^, and we are glad to see that some of the leading educational journals are prominently advocating its importance as an educator. As soon as a child beglnsto read, It takes a special interest in reading a newspaper, and is especially attraoted by names and things which are familiar. Through this channel a child will make progress In reading as he can in no other way. And not only does it assist him in rapid advancement in reading but the many and various topios that are recorded, and which excite his luterest, sharpen his taste for other branches, especially history, geography and some of the sciences. The Chicago Weekly Journal has a good word on this: 'School readers may serve an excellent purpose but tbev should be supplemented in Nurt by newspapers, as is already done several excellent schools in this and otber States. Not only do children read newspapers with greater avidity than tbey do stereotyped text books, but tbey also learn matters of current news, which tbey hear discussed at home ana elsewhere, much of which is calculated to excite deeper Interest in tbeir understanding of tbe topios of business life.'

Parents should be selection of newspaper reading From the fact tbat chll-

in tbe for the family.

exceediogly careful

seek such reading, it ia are largely inflaread. There ia

hardly more prolific and lamentable source of evil to the young than immoral and sensational papers and many instances have become publicly known of late where boys have been rained by acquiring a passion tot pernicious literature. A paper ia by no means of evil influence simply because it is devoted largely to stories but it must bejudged bv tbe character of its stories. We especially condemn those pape.pi tbat make heroes of wicked characters, and throw

a gloss of attractiveness around vice, and those also that keep the young minds especially in an unhealthy state of sensationalism. An eminent jpnitlaman remarked tons not long ago tbat be would give more for a good lamily newspaper as an educator in the home circle, than for all tbe carefully prepared readers that were ever published. The children, be added, seek for it eagerly, and it affords many an instructive topic for conversation between tbe yjunger •and older members of the family and important matter*, of an educational and practical character, are fixed in the minds of the children in this way, that are of incalculable benefit to them in acquiring a business education. We fully agreed witb him.

THE TIMES THAT TRIES MAN'S SOUL. New York. Express.

When he pips tbe question. When his wife wants to talk and he doesn't.

When be writes to his best girl and has to wait two weeks for a/reply. When hash is placed before him five successive mornings at bis boarding house.

Wben be pokes his bead through bis last clean shirt and finds no button on behind.

When he buys a new pair of shoes and discovers two big nails sticking up in tbe heels.

Wben be hurries around the corner and lands square in tbe arms of a man who holds his I. O. U.

Wben be takes bis girl out and discovers tbat be has left his pocketbook at home in his old trowsers.

When be comes home early in the morning and his wife wants to hold a little debating society in tbe lower ball.

When be goes home at night, finds a bouse full of company, and bis wife blissfully ignorant of the fact that dinner is not ready.

When in bis dreams be is standing upon tbe verge of a precipice, and bis wife suddenly remiuds bim tbat he isn't, but that be is. jerking her •banged' hair to pieces.

TASTE.

What comfort it is to poor women, who yet like to look well, to remember that it is not so much what is worn as bow it is worn that produces the general effect of being well dressed. The material may be splendid, but if ill-cut or ill-adjusted, the woman appears no better for it.

A linen dress made with taste is more becoming than a silk out of the mode or awkwardly put on and tbe simplest ribbons, tied by one who knowsjust bow to do it, will be more elegant than the costliest scarf in the arrangement of which taste has not been consulted.

We have seen a girl who earned five dollars a week, and dressed herself on it, produce a better effect of toilette than anothtr whose father paid her bills without question. The same money may as often be spent on what is us ly and com-mon-looking as in what is delicate and elegant.

There is a choice in everything, from a calico to a velvet. And even in ornaments, things tbat make no pretence, yet are well shaped and becoming4 may be bought for a song although some people have no knowledge of that fact, and believe tbat the only choice is between real diamonds and glaring glass and brass. Let taste be a girl's dressing maid, and she needs very Jittle money.

OLD MAIDS AND OLD BACHELORS Old maids are useful. They can cook, sew, and take care of children, nurse sick people, and generally play the piano. Old bachelors are useless. They do not even know how to drive nails or split wood.

Old maids are amiable. If one wants anything done that requires patience and kindness of heart, a single lady is sure to tie tbe one to do it.

Old bachelors are ill-natured. They desire to be as disobliging as possible. They snub children, despise babies, and hate young mothers, and are always so busily employed in seeing that other people take good care of them that they nave not a moment to give to anyone else. Old maids are nice-looking, and "young for tbeir years." Old bachelors generally have red noses, rheumatism in their knees, .bald heads, and mouths that turn down at tbe corners.

Old maids can make a home of one little room, and cook delicious waeals for one over the gas jet in cunning little tin kettles, besides making all their own wardrobe. Oid bachelors need an army oftallors, waiters, cooks, distant relatives, and hotel landlords, to keep them comfortable. When old maids are ill they tie up their heads in pocket bandkerchiefs, take bomoepatbic, pellets out of tbe two bottles, alternately, and get well again. Wben old bachelors are ill tbey go to bed and send for four doctors have a consultation a mantlepiece full of black bottles! all the amiable married men who belong to tbe club to sit np with them at night, besides an hired nurse they telegraph to tbeir relations: and do their best to impress the world with the Idea tbat tbey are dying.

Wben an old maid travels she takes a sandwioh, apiece of pound cake, a bottle of lemonade in a band basket, and lunches comfortably In the carriage. When an old bachelor travels, he orders a dinner in courses at'the station, and ravee because be has not time to eat it before the "fifteen minutes for refreshments" are over.

Old maids driuk weak tea, and it cures their headaches. Old bachelors drink strong liquors, which give tbem headaches.

Old maids are modest tbey think their youth Is over and tbeir beauty gone. If, after a while, same autumnal love is given them, tbey take it as a sort of a miracle, and hope people will not laugh at them for "marrying so late in life.

Old bachelors believe that all women are in love witb them, and that tbey must carefully guard themselves front traps laid to Inveigle tbem into matrimony r. They also fondly cherish the belief tbat should they eventually become married men the world expects tbem to exhibit great Uste in women in their choice, and tbat the "other fellows" will laugh if tbeir portion be not tender youth and beanty also tbat when tbey marry, many women will expire of Jealousy.

Events are only tbe shells of ideas and often it is tbe fluent thought of age that is crystalized in a moment by the stroke of a pen or tbe point of a bayonet. —Cbapin.

A gentle heart is like ripe fruit which bends so low tbat it is at tbe mercy of every one who chooses to pluck it, while tbe harder fruit keeps out of reach.

Kindness seems to know of some secret fountain of joy in tbe soul which it can touch, without revealing its lo cality, and cause to send Its watefs upwards and overflow the heart.

Tbe love of glory, tbe fear of shame, tbe design of making a fortune, tbe desire of rendering life easy and agreeaable, and the humor of pulling down other people are often the causes of tbat valor so celebrated among men.

The good man lov/asall men. He loves to speak of the good of others. All within the four seas are his brothers. Love of man is chief of all the virtues. The mean man sows, that himself may reap but tbe love of tbe perfect man is universal.
