THE PATHETIC STORY OF X MUSICIAN AND I DYING CHILD- The dark angel of death was stand ing outside the musiuian'8 door, for itlle Annita, Maestro Nardittfs child, was fading awuy : no tears, no prayers could avail, not even Carissima's love ly voice. Laiissima's voico was hushed now; the maestro had mi heart to take ui his dearly loved violin and play to soothe his sorrow, as he had done many years ago, when his wife died ind lelt tins little one behind. Heaven had given him the divine gift, of genius and had bidden him call aloud to the world. So Carissima and he had played together through siekneas and sorrow and success, and through all the changing scenes of life they had been faithful iriends. They had just come back from the crowded hall ; the people said that never before had the maestro played so beautifully and that never before had the violin's voico sounded so mournful and pathetic. Well, you see, they did not know the reason; but we do, for both were hinking of the little dying girl, and how could their thoughts be anything bat sorrowful or the outward expres sion of those thoughlBbo anything but mournful ? The father was weeping by his child's bed-side. But she said : "Do not weep sing to me sing mo to sleep, for I am so weary, dear father, and the evening lias been so long without the." Then he rose and played to her, and she closed her eyes and listened happily to Carissima's voice. It sang a song without words the music alono told tho tale of a pure young life, too pure for earth, and, therefore, lo be taken away to that fair land where only tho good and pure and true dwell. Yet it was hard to leave the earth, harder, still to leave the dear ones behind and to - know that they would be desolate, and here the violin's voice sobbed and trembled as i( from sorrow, and tho melody be came sadder and softer, as if describ ing the very parting which was soon to take place, then the lingering notes died away, and the maestro s hanil was still. "Is that all ?" murmured the child ''oh, play again." Onoe more ho raised his bow on high and the air resounded with a psalm of triumph the same melody, but no longer soft or sad, lor the gates ot the fair land were opened wide, and amid the jubilant strain the crTTld had passed away with the angt-1 of death. THE BEaUTV OF WORDS. Words are the flowers that blossom on the bush of wisdom and spring from the fountain of thought. . V lth them tho artist paints a livelier fancy thaji the man of brush and colors. The lines clear cut and Jine, surpass the richest creation on tho dull, lifeless canvas. In 'this line of art Robert Ingerstdl is probably the most skilled of all livinsr men. Here is what he says in a letter of regret to the Clover Club : "I regret that it is impossible for me to bo in 'clover' with you to-morrow. A wonderful thing Is clover 1 It means honey and cream; that is to say, industry and contentment; that is to say, the happy bees in the per fumed lields, and at the cottage gale Old Bos, the bountiful, serenely chew ing satisfaction1 cud in that blrssed twilight pause that like a benediction falls' between - tpil and sleep. This clover makes mo dream of happy hours, of childhood's rosy cheeks, of dimpled babes, of, wholesome, loving wives, of hfinest mt-n, of springs and books and violets, and all there is of a stainless joy in peaceful human life. A wonderful word i9 clover. Drop the 'c' and you havi the happiest il mankind. Take away the 'o' and V and you have tho only thing that makes a heaven of this dull and barren earth. Cut off the V itlone and there remains a warm, deceitful bud that sweetens the, breath and keeps the peace in countless homes whoso mas ters frequent clubs. After all, Bottom, in Shakspeare, was right i 'Good hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.' " "D'.d yon know," said an Englishman to Jew,."that they hang Jews and asses together in Poland?" "Indeed!" replied the $ew. "Then tt Is for tunatc that you and I are not there." Roanoke WELDON, EARLY MARRIAGES. From Notes and Queries. Not only in the days of good Qeen Bess and earlier, but very much later in eur history early marriages wore allowed. To matte an instance In the Ceorgian period, this entry Is In "The Chronological diary" appended to the "Historical Registry, volutno six, for the year 1?.'7, June 8: "Charles Camarthen, Esq., of about II rears of age, tnarry'd to a daughter of Sir Thomas Powell, of Broadway, Bart., de ceased, agrd about 14." The young- lady's only brother had Jnett died on March 21 preced ing. Often did a guardian having control of a wealthy ward Bud It cnnrcnlentt not to delay the promotion of a marriage of tho ward with oae ef Ills own kith and kin, though not always by any means was It considered necessary that there should exist between the couple the sen timents that Induced Chat. Dickens' "young gentlemen not eight years old lo run away with a young woman of scveu." I may mention a similar Instance which oc curred nearly loO years later than the marriage to which H. refers, In a family which my mother now represents ; viz: the Bhaws ui Bullytweely, county Antrim. Henry 8haw (ana of John Shaw, of Ballytwcedy, and grand son of Captain 8haw, High Sheriff for county Antrim, 1003, who was attained by Kings James' Parliament) was married In the year to his cousin Mary (only child of Patrick Bltaw, of Brittas, county Antrim) when "neither of them was yet fifteen years old ;" and the old documents from which I am quot ing go on to any that the father of this equally precocious bridegroom "continued to manage for the young couple, and had not long sur vived their coming of age." Their eldest Child was born 172;). Henry Shaw died in 17T5, a year after the birth of his groat-grandson, Thos. Porter, of Mount Potter, countv Down. An Instance of early marriage even more curious than that mentlonad by H. It the marriage of Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas, Lord Clifford, of Sklpten castlo, in the fifteenth cvutitry, to Sir Robert Plumpton of i'lumptou castle, The bride was six years of ago and the brldegroetn not much more. Tho husband died three years after marriage, nnd the "widow" was nulled to his brother William when she had gained the age of twelve years. Dodswot tU preserved for us the document from which the above information Is given In Whtttaker's "History of Craven."

HOW BILL HOGGLES STRUCK A STREAK OF LUCK- William Henry Hoggles, fumillurly called "Luughiug Bill Hoggles," to distinguish him from several other Bill Hoggles' in hit native county, rceeutly met with a streak of good luck In a horse-trade, which will keep him jolly for a year. Bill was driving along tho country road wondering how he would ever sucteed In getting rid of l tie wind-Mown trotter he then owned, when upon turning into a woods-road he pulled up sharply in the rear of a gentleman wlioso horse had declined to cross a bridge which spanned a small stream. "Hello, neighbor! what's the matter?" said Bill. "My horse has baulked, Sir," replied the gentleman "By thunder, stranger!" said BUI, "I know that animal have you cussed him yet?" "No, Sir I with indignation"! am a min ister, Sir, and do not swear," "Can't help that. You won't lit that beast over any bridge until you give hltn a goo cussln. He was trained that way, I know the man who raised and trained him to the trick." "If this is true I am sorry, for he seems good horse aud I should like to keep him. But I shall not curse hint, If he never goes .over bridge." "lluw in the thunder have you managed git him over bridges then ?" t "I have never driven him over a bridge. bought him in the town back there of a drover this morning, and this is the first bridge I have tried to cross with him." "Well, neighbor, I don't mind dolu' you a good turn, ,Sohold on lo yuur ribbons aud I'll tlo the cussin?" ''Go long there, you blank blank blank fool!" "Mr. Editor," said Bill, as he related the In cident lu our office, with tears of mirth run ning down his cheeks, "there was ail aston ished preacher In that carriage. For the hofs went over all right us soon as he was ctiesetl." "Ilowsttmever, the preacher couldn't use sleh a boa?, und he proposed a trade. I didn't want to trade, of course, but let hltn have mine for hls'n as a matter of accommodation. The boss Is a splendid auimal, and worth every cent of S300, while the hnss I let the preacher hive aint worth 50." The drover played that boss ss t trump card all over the country. His plan was to trade or sell hltn to some pious man the nag Is really trained as I lave staled aud the charge pretty little bonus to take blot back igaln." N. 0., THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1883. THAT BAD BOY. HIS PA GETS RED -HE CnFS TO SUNDAY OL- ANTS IN PA'g MVEH FID. "Well, that beats the devil" said the gro cery man, as he stood In front of his grocery and saw the bad boy coming along, on the way heme from Sunday school, with a clean shirt on, and a testament and some dime novels under his arm. "What tins got Into you, aud what has come over your l'a. Yeu haven't converted hltn have you ?" "No, Pa has not got religion enough to hurt yet, but he has got the synitoms. Ho line Joined tho church on prowbatlon, and Is trying to be good so he can get In the church for keeps. He said It was hell living the way he did, and he has got me to promise to go to Sunday school. He said If I didn't he would maul me so my skin wouldn't hold water. Yeu see, Ma aatd Pa had got to; be on trial tor Iz months before he could get In church, and if he could get along without swearing and doing anything bad, he was all right, and we must try him and lee if we could cause bltn to wear. She said she thought a person, when they was on a prowbatlon, ought to be a martyr, try and overcome all temtatlon to do evil, and If fa could go through six months of our home life, and not cuss the hinges oft the the door, ho was sure of a glorious immortal ity beyond the grave. 8ho said It wouldn't bo wrong for me to continue to piny Innocent ikes on l'a, and if be took It all right he was Christian, but If be got a hot boi, and flow around mad, he was belter out of church than In It, There he comes now," said tho boy as he got behind a sign, "aud ho is pretty hot for Christian, Ho Is luoklug for uie. You had ought to have aeon him in the church this morning. You sue, I commenced the exer cises at home after breakfast br puttlug a piece of leu in each of Pa's boots, and when be pulled on the boots he yelled that his feet went on lire, aud we told hlin that it was nothing but symptoms of gout, so he left the ice in bis boots to melt and be said this morning that he felt a though ha ho bad sweat his boots full. But that was not the worst. You know. Pa wears a liver-pad. Well, on Saturday my chum and me was out on the lako shore und we found a nest of mi! a, these Utile red ants, and I got a pop bottle half full of the aula and took them home. This morning, when Pa. was dressing for church I saw his liver-pad on on a chair, and noticed a hole In It, and I thought what a good place It would bo for the ants. I don't know what nosiesaod me. bull took the liver-pad Into my room, and opened tho bottle, and put the hole over the mouth of tho bottle and I guess thu nnls thought there was something to eat in tho liver-pad, cause they all went Into it and they crawled around n tho brand and condition powders insido of it, and I took It back to ps, and he put It on under his shirt, and dressed himself, and w went to church. Pa squirmed a littlo wheu tho minister was praying and I guess soinu of the auts had como out to view the landscape o'er. When we got up to sing the hymn Pa kept kicking, as though liu was nervous, and ho felt down his.nrck and looked sort of wild, the way he did wheu he had tho jim-jams. When we sat down Pa couldn't keep still, and 1 like to died when I saw some of tho anls come out of his shirt bosum and go racing around his whito vest, l'a tried to look pious. and resigned, hut he couldn't keep his leg still, and he sweat mor'n a pill full. Wheu the minister preached about "tho wonn that never dletu," Pa reached Into his vest and scratched his ribs, and he looked as though hu would give ten dollnrs If tho minister would gut through, Ma looked at pa aa though she would bite his head off, but pa he squirmed, aud acted as though his soul was on lire. Say, does ants bits, or Just crawls around? Well, when tho minister said amen, and pruyod the second round, and then said a brother who was missionary lo thu heathen would liku to make a few remarks about the missionaries In Bengal, and tuko up collection, Pa told Ma they would have to excuse blm, nnd he lit out for home, slapping himself on tho legs uud on tho arms and ou the back, and he acted crazy. Jia una mo wont home, after the heatheu got threugb, and found l a In his bed room, with part of his clothes o(T, and tho liter-pad was on the floor, and Pa was standing on ll with his boots, and talking ollul. What Is tho matter," eays Ma, "Don't your religion agree with you ?" "Religion be dashed," says Pa, as ho kicked his liter pad. "1 would give ten dollars to know how a pint of red ants got into my liver- pad. Rellgiou is one thing, and a million ants walking all over a man, playing tag is an other. I didu't know the liter-pad was loaded. How in Gehenna did they get lu there ?" and pa scowled at Mans though ho would kill her, "Don't swear dear," stjs Ma, as she threw down her hymn book, and took oft her bou not. "You should be patient. Remember Job was patient, and he was a 111 Ic ted with sore boils," "I don't care," tald Pa as he chased theants out of his drawers," "Job ttuver had auts lu lib) liver-pad. If he had bo would hava swore the shiugles oil' a barn. Here you," says pa, speaking to me, "you bead off them ants run ning under the bureau. It the trnth was known I believe you would be responsible for tills outrage." Aud Pa looked at me kind of hard. "O, pn," says I, with tears In my eyes, "Do you think your little Sunday school boy would catch ants In a pop bottle on the lake shore, and bring them home, aud put them In tbe hole of your liver-pad Just before you put It on to go to church ? You are too bad." And I shed some tears. 1 ean shed tears now any time I want to, but it didn't do any good tills time. Pa knew it was me, and while be was looking for the shawl trap I went to Bun day school, and now I guesa he Is after mo, and I will go and take a walk down to Buy View." ' The. boy moved off as his pa tnrncd the corner, and the grocery man said, "Well, thst boy beats all that I evor saw. If he was mine I would give him sway." Little Johny hud buou tn church anil heard a very obese paiaon. On the way home he re marked: "What a norful stomach that preacher had! Didn't sacra right, though, for him to get off that Joke." "Whit Jk?" Intcrpost-d his father. "Why, don't you know," retttrnud Johnny, "where he put his hands clown on the pa t where his vest stuck out, and said, 'Man wiinti but Utile here below."

A whito dove with outstretched wings surmounting a floral cross was perched over Dr. Talmage's head as lie sat amid a profusion of flowers on the platform of tho Brooklyn Taber nacle yesterday morning. Floral crosses, festoons, and baskets; flow ers in pots and bunches made the pulpit look like a conservatory, and the perfume filled thu vast amphithea tre. "My beloved is unto me as a bed of spices and sweet flowers," was tho text. The special Easter music consisted of organ pieces by Profes sor A. J. Powell, cornet solos by Pre fessor Peter Ali, and quartet musio by Messrs. Arady, Stanwood, Hill, and Smith. Many even of those who went carl v wore unable to get into the building, and thousands were turned away. Dr. Talmage said; "Solomon's songs are considered by many as fit only for the moonstruck sentimentalists, written by a man crazed for a fair maiden, a book unfit for family reading and for churches. We must admit that for a long time Solomon had several hundred more wives than ho was entitled to but he afterward repented of his sin, and God ehoso him to write somo of the swett est things about Jesus Christ that were ever writton. Let mo say that this modern criticism which we hear as to the immodesty of tho Bible comes with a very bad grace from an age in which some of the worst French novels havo reached their fif tieth edition, ami when on tho parlor tables of respectable pooplo there are books abominable. For every pure minded man and woman Solomon's description of Jesus Christ is a mental enchantment. Why should wo all the time hover about a few violets in tho word of God when there aro so many .t.alias, rhodoendrons, fuchias, even ing priuii'iiiies, crocusscg, passion flowers, and morning glories ? Why aro theso flowers symbolic of Jesus Christ ? First because of their fra grance. ISO sooner had you opened the door of our church to day than yon perceived the fragrance of these flowers. How (diall I describe to you the fragrance of Christ? The name of CiiMar means power: Alexander, con- pest; Demosthenes, eloquence; Phi lias, sculpture; Benjamin West, paint ing. 1 lie .name ot Christ means love. See how that name has affected men. Jonathan Edwards, a man of argu ment, who was never ehartryd with scntitnentalism, at the mention of tho name of Christ sat down and wept in joyful emotion, John Knox, a man of iiiilrpendent nature, whose righteous indignation made the Queen shiver with agitation, yielded to the story of a Savior's love. Solomon surrendered his whole palatial splendor to Him. "Flowers aro symbolic of Christ also because of their brightness, Fverything about Christ is bright and radiant. Look at that melancholy man over there. Yon think you ave bolter thau I because of year lugu- miousness. ion can t cheat me, you old hypocrite; I know you. There is just as much religion in a wedding as in a burial. Religion is love and joy. I D-day luoy have planted a palm at this end of the platform which seems to say Mlosanna!' and one at the other end wlucli seems to say Uosanna P " WHAT THEB0Y KNEW. Before the schonls dismissed for a holidayon February 23 the teachers had something to say about George Washington, and some ot them felt it their duty to ace If the pupils were posted on the record of thu jjreat man, Onu ttnoher selected a boy about 11 years of age and inquired : "William, who made this country what It Is !" Vandcrbllt and Jay Gould," was the prompt reply. "Didn't you ever hear of George Washlng- Ingr" Yes'm, and Tie beard of Captain Kldd." 'Don't you know that Washington was oar first president ?" "Courso I Jo, bat they bad to hare soncsns, didn't they " Why whs Washington called the Father of his Country T" "To saro the conntry from paying np his buck salary." "Why do wo honor tho StM of February?" "Because we can get out of school and go skating or hitch on." "I rucks you don't know much about Wash Ington." "N'u'm, ami I don't want lo. My father can tuko a clock all to pieces and greaso her up aud make her run, and I don't believe Washington could." , . , , She mode one more effort to got oat of without loss of dignity, by asking : "What has this country done to honor Washington ?" "Named a lot of saloons, ferryboats, third class hotels and fire engines after him, an thore'a a pie called the Washington pie. I la-re s a ciiy callrii Washington. It Is th Capital. I'.vorybody who does'nt keep board ers tries lo dead-beat everybody who does, and and tlial't all 1 know about the continental army or anybody else." An honorable member proposed, luvlew of the fact that there was a coiii:dcrabts surplus in the treasury, that an appropriation be made (or the construction of a bridge. "Of a bridge?" echoed another honorab'a member, scornfully. "Why, there is no river here!"

Lot us cross the threshold without knock or bidding, for tho convention alities ot file have no place heic, and out of the gloom of night into that deeper gloom of swift coming death, softly step. How loud tho tick of the clock I How spectral tho litrht ! Scattered about the floor are the toys with which a mother's lovo sought to wean tho baby's thought from the pain that racks its tiny frame all useless now, tor tho r'ilded sands are hasten ing to their eml. Look down into that mother's face, homely it may be when measured by the painter's stand ard or tho sculptor's, but radiant through all its anguish with a divine loveliness which tho chisel of Phidias or Raphael's brush would vainly seek forever. Watch her, as with yearn ing love( whose mute eloquence shames all tho witchery of words, he answers tno oaa appeal of those fast dimming eyes turning to her in pathetic won der, wonder why that tender mother, who failed it never before in trouble or suffering, helps not now Look down thfiMiirh those brituminz eves. whose gushing tide she stays for baby's Ke, into that riven heart liirstin;i with the thought that tho fragile threads aro breaking swiftly break ing that soon those eves, whoso ra diance outspaikles all the gems of earth, will bo dim, dim, forever dim that soon the prattle which to her fond ear was sweeter than hymns of choiring seraphs will soon be forever tuslied that soon the little pattenus feet, that only yesterday made Hweet melody throughout the house, will movo no more; and a silence which is akin to no other silenro known on arlh will cast its pall upon that smit ten habitation. Hush! the end has come. Let us wait until tho first burst of nature's grief is ovor past. Measured by reason's standard we should now only expect rago or ven- geanco or lear to find expression here; ut ot these scarcely a trace is seen. A new and totally distinct group ol motions gather around this tiny form iiismg and softening ami (li'juilvins us awful scene. Calm-eyed I'ailh tands there casing down thu amis with look serene, and from Hope's hit e wings supernal light floods all tho darkness, and Resignation with steadfast front, and Fortitude with utst retched arm, bearing up this ruined heart; and you feel it is not tho grim skeleton with sevtho and imir glass nor Atrapos in robe f bhek who sits despairing at this couch of death, but an angel with tearful yes and compassion limitless, whoso hand has soothed even while it smote." fjlf you should hapten to waut your oars pierc ed, Just pinch the baby. An exchange- says tho best thing to give an enemy is kindness; but that depends on the en emy's size. ADVKKTISli.M KNTS. A COMMON SENSE REMEDY- SALICYLICA. KO MOKE ltlll'l MATISM, UOtT Oil KEl.
