I used to think about myself, Aud think that I would be A governor or a president, Or a general like Lee. But I have waited long in vain, While years rolled slowly by, And thinking now of what I thunk, I think I thunk a lie, I used to think the ladies were All sweetness combiud , That they were all God's last and best Of perfectness refined. That they were not half pads and paint But angels from on high, .But thinking now of what I thunk, I4haak I thunk a lie.

But since I've traveled round a bit I've watched them on the sly, And thinking now of what I thunk, I think I thunk a lie.

One evening a man, tall and spare, surrounded by a country atmos phere, cautiously approached the desk at Willard's hotel and hesita tingly said that he wanted a room. Mr. Harris placed the register be fore him and handed him a pen. "What's that for?" inquired the would be guest. "Sign your name, please," was the reply. "I've got a lady with me. It's my wife we've just got married," was the faltering remark of the visitor. "Then write both your names on the register," was the advice given. An inspection a moment later re vealed the following entry : "Miss Jinnie & me." LOOK OUT! - 0 Great Excitement in Wharftcwn ! The WHALE has Threatened to Swal low Everything that is High.

Here's de ring at last, an now I 8poseIse ter Jet him out'n dat room, caze Mars. Jasper said I wus to do it, when he sent back dis ring. Homer, whom the reader will re member as Jasper Palmer's servant stood in the gathering twilight re garding a gold ring in bis hand, which we saw once before on Palmer's finger. 'Yes,1 he continued, 'Ise ter let him out, an' den what! Wonder what de missis of Sunny6ide '11 do, caze when I tell de man dis mornm' 'bout lettin' him out, an' 'bout de gran weddin' dar to night he swar he'd go dar an' hab vengince. Well, all dat am nuffin ter me; Ise got ter 'bey orders. Lucky I went ter de office dis morn in' an' got di3 ring. Ise glad he's gwine to be out caze Ise tired waitin' on him. I'll go an' open de door now, an' be done wid him, caze I want ter see Judy ter night an' ax her when she be ready ter git mar- ried.' It was a night of gayety and splen dor at" Sunny side, for a marriage was to take place in the stately par- or that of Orme St. Orme and Claudine Armitage. Every window in the house was brilliantly illuminated, and among the vines on the piazza, and the trees which studded the yard, small lamps were hung, their pale light shedding a soft, mellow radiance over the en tire scene. Dark forms flitted to and fro among the duaky orange, trees arranging the lights, and wreathing garlands of brilliant flowers about the drooping branches and, .green leaves, until it presented the appearf ance of an enchanted land or a wil derness of flowery, tangled bloom and light. All the elite in the neigh borhood of Sunnj-side had been, in vited, and many carriages came from the city, for a grand ball was to im mediately follow the marriage. While the guests were arriving Mrs. Marvin slood in her room before the mirror putting the finishing touches to her toilette. 'The work of many years suffering is almost completed,' she muttered, 'and for all the danger I have endur ed what is my reward?' As she ceased speaking the door opened and Mrs. Waldron entered the apartment arrayed in a heavy old fashioned wine colored silk. She looked ten years younger, and an expression of real tenderness ir radiated every feature of her dark face. In the black veiled eyes shone a new light, while a smile curved the thin lips. As she glided into the room, Mrs. Marvin turned toward her and her eyes falling on "her rich. silk robe, trimmed in its heavy folds of black lace, she exclaimed : You have that old dress yet 1 Do you never wear out anything?' 'It is the first time I have worn it in sixteen years. I love the dress, she continued, 'for I purchased it duriug the happiest period of my life.' 'I remember that you told me all about it once before. As you have something to recall the happiest time of vour life. I have also a reminder of the purest days I ever experienc ed.' So saying, sbo took a box from her dressing table, raised the lid. and diving to the bottom of it brought up a small gold ring which she dropped in the housekeeper's hand. Mrs. Waldron moved to the light and holding it up, saw engraven on the inside the initials, 'M. M. & C. H Her voice trembled perceptibly as she handed it back to Mrs. Marvin, saying: 'Would you could be now. what vou were in those olden days, and all these long, black yeuva but horrible dream 1' 'That wish you will nevor realize.' 'No. But you remember the prom ise you made me a few days ago?' . 'Yes, but I even now almost repent it.' 'You do not mean to say that you will retract from that promise?' 'Not exactly, but why need I en dure to lead a different life! I would grow weary of it in a few days, for ! have lived as one of earth's most do praved so long that it is more natur al for me to do wrong than right.' ,'Oh, Hester! are all my hopes to be dashed to the ground?' and the woman's eyes grew dark with pain as she spoke. - 'I do not wish to grieve you, but I tell you that it is needless for mo to try to Jive differently, for the pow ers of darknes have too strong a hold upon me. "Tlesterl Hester!' - I will change my manner toward you,' i continued Mrs. ' Marvin, 'but do not expect too much .from me for vou know mv nature." Mrs.. Waldron waa about to reply when there ear-v " -'"w rao on the ed his lips, as his eyes rested on the ! graceful form of his wife. As he en tered, Mrs. Waldron hastily left the room. ' . 'Hesteri love, are you ready to go below?' 5 'Any time, Randall she replied, coming toward him, and laying Rer hand on his arm. We are going to lose our only one, little wife, placing his arm about her and drawing her head on his shoul der as he Bpoke. 'Yes,' she murmured in a subdued voice. . 'Do you think we will be happy without her, dear?' 'Why not, Randall? Claudine will be gone, but we have each other still.' Yes, thank God, we have each other!' be exclaimed, aa he led her from the room. Half an hour later, the brilliantly illuminated parlors were crowded to their utmost capacity. Wit flowed, and beauty smiled. Here and there through the shadowy rooms, happy lovers wandered, exchanging their vows of fidelity, and building cas ties of air concerning their future. 'I am all impatience to see the bride and groom!' exclaimed a bright eyed girl, as she turned to her com panion, a handsome young lady, whose large dark eye3 contined a perceptible dash of mirth. I do not care so much about see ing th bride as the groom, for Orme and I were playmates when chil dren.' I believe you have always been in love with him Irma,' laughed her companion, as she lilted her eyes to her friend's face. For mercy's sake, Eva, do not ac cuse me of loving one of Creation's ords, who will soon be the husband of another!' cried the young lady in mock tone of horror. 'See, Irma! there stands one of the aforesaid lords now. looking very much like nothing would please him better than to take you under his protection.' Following the direction indicated. the young lady saw an exquisitely dressed young man at the opposite side of the room regarding her in tently. The girl turned away with a scornful smile. 'Are' you acquainted with that gentleman, Eva?' 'No. Who is he?' 'Mr. Bex Thornton.' 'How do you happen to know him?' 'I met him several times in the city when Miss Armitage was visit ing Judge Greyson s. There is not a a more eonsumate male flirt this Bide of the North Pole.' ' would be glad of an opportunity to flirt with his highness. But how do you know so much about him, Irma?' 'I cannot tell you to night. Wait until to morrow.' Then leaning forward as the rustle of silken skirts fell on her ear, she exclaimed: 'Be quiet, Eya, they are coming.' As she spoke, the door way seem ed for a moment to be filled with white drapery and the next instant the bridal party entered. Among the attendants was Una and her hue band, Lambert Layne, for the two had been married at Woodlawn and accompanied Orme to Sunny6ide. Claudine was radiantly beautiful as leaning on Orme's arm her rounded cheeks glowing and her dark eyes sparkling with an unusual brilliancy they approached the minister. But what ailed the groom? In his eyes there was no light born of love and tenderness not even the faintest smile curved his lips, but as he paus ed, a shadow like unto, death over spread his face. 'I believe he is going to faint,J whispered some one, then all became silent, but the bridegroom's face grew paler each moujent. Just as the words:- 'You take this woman to be your lawful and wedded wife,' dropped from the minister's lips, a wild up- roar arose without and a weird voice exclaimed: 'Release me, you black imp, for I swear by all the powers of earth and heaven to be avenged!' Then fol'awed a scream of terror, and the next moment an object ap peared in the doorway, which sent a chill of horror to every heart; and well might they shrink away, for the man who stood there tall and gaunt, with the burning slifletto like eyes, hag gard face ani long, unkept black hair falling like a mantel over his shoulders looked like an angel of evil but on a mission oj dire vengeance. The minister paused, and the bride and groom turned ' to look upon the dark being framed in the doorway. As the bride's eyes rested upon his. face, a shudder shook her frame and she grew pale as monumental mar ble. For full ten minutes, the man's burning glance roved restlessly about the room, then with a low cry whicn sounded like the growl of an enraged animal, he leaped to war J Mrs. Mar vin", who had fled from her husband's side, and stood in . the midst of her spell bound guests with 6haking limbs and ashen face.:.

With a low, shuddering moan she sank to the floor, while a red stream of blood gushed from the wound. 'Ha! ha! Claudine Leicester, Mark Merrick is avenged at last and now he will die!' Aroused by the terrible scene the crowd rushed upon him, but too late, for ere a hand could touch him, the dagger was sheathed in hia own heart, and ho lay beside his victim. to be continued. 1 Oriental Justice. Dr. Henry M. Scudder reports the decision of a case in an Eastern court. in which the nice discrimination of the bench was conspicuous. Four men, partners in business. bought some cotton bales. That the rats might not-destroy the cottou they purchased a cat. They agreed that each of the four should own a particular leg of the cat ; and each adorned with beads and other orna ments the leg thus apportioned to him: The cat by an accident injured one of its legs. The owner of that mem ber wound about it a rag soaked in oil. The cat going too near the fire set the rag on fire, and, being in great pain, rushed in among the cot ton bales, where she was accustomed to hunt rats. The cotton thereby took fire and was burned up. It was a total loss. The three other partners brought an action to recover the value of the cotton against the fourth partner, who owned that particular leg of the cat. The judge examined the case and-decided thus: "The leg that had the oil rag on it was hurt ; the cat could not use that leg; in fact, it held up that leg and ran with the other three. The three unhurt legs, therefore, carried the fire to the cotton, and are alone culpable. The injured leg is not to be blamed. The three partners who owned the three legs with which the cat ran to the cotton will pay the whole value of the bales to the partner who was the proprietor of the injured leg." Grant, Lee and Their Armies. Lord "Wolseley in North American Review. It is quite true that by the end of the campaign Grant's doggedness bad produced a certain effect upon the Confederate soldiery. All ac knowledged it. But what was that effect? Undoubtedly they had bo gun to realize that, if the North would allow the solders to be ex posed to such frightful butchery, the North might at that price triumph. But not for one moment did it modi fy the confidence of the Southern soldiery in their own great leader; and not even at the fatal moment of the surrender at Appomattox did a Southern soldier doubt that every thing that a general could do for his army was done by Lee I fancy that if at Cold Harbor the proposal of the Irishman after the battle of the Boyne, "to swap leaders and fight it over agai:i," could have been put to the two armies, there would not have been one hand on the Southern side held up to accept the offer. Would there have been none on the Northern? I fancy few of the North ern general? who knew all of the cir cumstances would like much to put the greatness of the two leaders to any such test. Of course the opinion of armies is not always a fair one as to the capacity of generals. It is however, a very important element in the actual in command. In this instance the opinion of the hour has been confirmed by the careful and critical examination of many soldiers. able Whata Woman Can and Cannot Do. Bab What can a woman dor She can laugh with her lips make a man think she is the merriest crick t in the world, while her eyes are full of unshed tears and her heart beating as if it would burst. She can forgive a great sin like an angel and nag a man about a petty vice like an importation from the lower regions. She can fix over old frocks and wear them with a cheerful heart that she may help somebody, and 6he can spend the first money that she really (eels that she can use for herself in goitig to a matinee and on sweets, wheu 6he knows she needs a new pair of shoes. She can quiet a baby with one or two reassuring pats, when a man might almost knock the life out of it, give it a whole bottle of soothing syrup, and it wou'd still be open eyed and aggressive. She can employ a whole day look ing for a pair of braces for Jack, and yet. in the time of trouble she could buy a mourning outfit in half an hour, and her needle would fly as if guided by electricity in sewing on a shroud for somebody's baby. She can cry out her troubles on a man's shoulder and feel a relief that is only possible from masculine help, and 10 minutes after she can laugh in that man's face and wonder whaL men were made for. She can be brave in time of men tal trouble; she can stand by and hold the hand of some one who is suffering from physical trouble, yet she will scream as if 6he were about to be killed at the suggestion of a mouse or a beetle. She can smile over a dinner of bread and butter aud tea when that's all she can get, aud later on. when prosperity is to the fore, 6he can turn up her nose at any game below can vas back duck, and wonder at peo ple caring for any thing but the best Burgundy. What can't she do? I will tell you: She can never wear trousers with any grace, and she will never be able to resist either the man or baby who has gotten the love of her heart. On Men's Shoes. St. Louis Globe. I have only one hobby, and that is ahoes, Or rather peculiar fashion I have of wearing them. I used to think that a man got the best service out of a shoe by putting on the best pair a shoemaker could make him and wearing them constantly until the leather gave way somewhere, but I now think that is the most ex travagant way of dressing the feet. I am never without three or four pairs of shoes in good wearable con dition. I never wear the same pair two days in succession and at least once a month I go over each pair with a brush dipped in vaseline. Thus, with .three pair of shoes, I gave each pair one day of work and two days of rest, and the leather has time to regain , its elasticity and stretch out the wrinkles the foot has made. These wrinkles become break in the leather when the shoe is con. tinuously worn. The vasaline is bet ter than any ail for fine leather. I used to wear out four pairs of ?8 shoes a year, one at a time. The same number now last me two yoars. A. Very Funny Thinff. Spartanburg, S. C, Spartau. A very funny thing occurred at one of our city churches less than a year ago. A good brother a very good brother came out of the church af ter the benediction and, starting home, thought a lady immediately in front of him was his wife. They had evidently been talking love before he left. Believing from the lady's dress, bounetand the color of her hair that it was his wife and no one being very near he began his sentimental talk in this way: "Yes, here you are at church. I thought you couldn't come. I knew there was nothing the matter with you. You're always complaining when there is not a thing the matter with you." The lady addreseed stiffened herself up and walked on. Her apparent con tempt nettled the man and he said with decided emphasis: "Oh yes, you can't epeak. Too sick to talk. Why don't you speak?" About this time the lady addressed turned with a great deal of dignity and when the man saw his mistake he was speech less. He could not apologise, for that would have convicted him. It was very funny. Miles of Various Nations. The Irish mile is 2.240 yards. The Swiss mile is 9,153 yards. The Italian mile is 1.76G yards. The Scotch mile is 1,984 yards.

A Complete Copy ofthe Famous Colo nial CoUe. The territory now comprised in th state of Connecticut was formerly two colonies Connecticut and New naven. The colony of Connecticut was planted at Windsor, in 1633, by emigrants from Massachusetts, at Hartford in 1535 and Wethersfu-ld in 1536. The other colony was set tled by emigrants from England in 1633, and was called the Dominion of New Haven. The two colonies wero united in 1665. The famous blue laws, of which a full copy is given below, were enacted by the people of the Dominion of New Haven: The Governor and magistrate, con vened in general assembly, are tha supreme power under God, of this in dependent Dominion.
