How Peebles Asked the Old man.
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.

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.
She looked side-ways at him and
began planning to make a peach pic
with the pits in it for tho benefit of his
sore tooth.
