‘A ROLLER SKATER MARRIES AN
| HEIRESS,
| Bucyrus, Ohio, is excited over the
}cl:mdcstinc marriange of Miss Rebec
' en Kearsley, the only daughter of Mr.
E. R. Kersloy, late Auditor of Craw
ford county, with a roller-skating
professor, whe has himself departed
for parts unknown sin¢e the mar
riage.
Miss Kearsley was 18 years old and
has just come into an inln-rit:uu'v;
from her grandfather, which is esti
mated as worth from $500,000 to
#300,000, consisting of real estate inl
Cleveland, Detroit and Toledo, Dbe
sides considerable money. She was
not a beauty, but was bright and:
dashing, and the very personification
of liealth. She has had good school
advantages, has traveled abroad, and
was to have started soon to the Bos
ton Conservatory of Mnusic.
Three weeks ago a stylish young
man, giving his name as J. Clarence
Osborne, came here to Bueyrus to
give lessons in roller skating. Miss
Kearsley became one of his pupils at
the roller skating rink, also engaged
liim to give her private lessons, which
he did two weeks at her father’s
dwelling.
Monday night Miss Kearsley went
home, retired as usual, but arose
about midnight, and, taking her shoes
in her hand, slipped softly down
stairs and met the professor, as Os
borne was called, and hied away in a
sleigh with him to Nevada, where the
knot was tied. The young pair re
turned immediately to Bueyrus.
Miss Kearsley went directly to her
home and Mr. Osborne went to his
hotel. The young pair have not seen
each other since. It has been ascer
tained that they were legally married.
Miss Kearsley’s guardian and her
tather have been in consultation with
Osborne, trying to find out who he
is. He has told several stories as to
his residence, and given several dif
ferent initials to his name. Subse
quently he left town, and it is report
ed that he was given $15,000 in cash
to stay away forever.
WILL HE SUCCEED? 1
In nine cases out of ten, a mon’s!
life will not be a success if he does
not bear burdens in his childhood.
If the fondness or vanity of father or
mother has kept him from hard work ;
if another always helped. him out at
the end of the row ; if instead of tak
ing his turn at pitching off, he stow
ed away all the time—in short, if what
was light fell to him, and what w:xs‘
heavy about the work fell to some
one else; if he has been permitted to
shirk until shirking has become a
habit, unless a wmiracle has been
wrought, his life will be a failure,
and the blame will not be half so
much his as that of his weak and
foolish parents.
On the other hand, ifa boy has
been brought up to do his part, never
allowed to shirk his responsibility,
or to dodge work whether or not it
‘m:ulv his headache, or soiled his
hands, until bearing burdens has he
come a matter of pride, the heavy
end of the wood his choice, parents
as they bid him goodbye may dismiss
their fear. The elements of success
are his, and at some time and in some
‘ way the world will recognize his ca
hmcity. e
Freepom.— Christianity,” said Mr.
Talmage, “is the rising sun of our
time. Yet there are men trying, by
the smoke of their blasphemy, to
turn this suninto darkness. But what
the destruction of the sun would
mean to our planet, the destruction
of Christianity would be to the world
of morals. “ Now I say let the law
against blasphemy be erased or let it
be executed. But lam asked, ‘Don’t
you believe in free speech?” Yes, |
believe in all kinds of freedom. 1
believe in driving horses, but not in
driving over others. 1 believe in the
free use of knives, but not assassina
tion. I believe in free speech, but
not in the freedom of blasphemy.
Freedom to do right, but no Efreedom
to do wrong!”

A ReMarkapLe Case.—On the 2d
day of January past, Etta Worley, a
seven-year-old girl, the step-daught
er of Nelson Carroll, who lives three
miles from Carnesville, was kicked by
a mule. at the edge of the hair above
the eye the skull was fractured to the
size of a half dollar. Part of the
fractured bone was taken out by Dr,
tl. M. Freeman, the physician in at
tendance. lHe also removed a half
teaspoonful of the brain that protrud
ed into the wound. On the Ist inst.,
When the doctor called to sce her,
she wasout at play with the other
children and sufferine no apparent
inconvenicnce from the wound, which
is not entirely healed. Her mind
does not seem to be affected by the
loss of portion of the brain.— Carnes-

" KEEP YOUR BEST VOR HOME,
! There is no place where good man
i ners are of more value than in the
i home. It is the moral agent of good
breeding; it is the law that governs
Jthc manifestations of kindness and
| restrains unkind andignoble traits of
liuman nature from expression.
- Keep your best temper for home.
'.lu society,on the strects, in business,
everywhere, it is casier to control
that attribute, if we guard the hasty
word, the peevish tone, the ivritating
action in the home cirele, and study
to wound none of its inmates.
Keep your best spirits for nome.
Nowhere do gloomy and depressed
spirits tell so disastrously as at home. ‘
The parents may have just cause for |
anxicety and care, but it is wrong and
unjust to shadow the young life of
children with anxieties they cannot
understand. The tendency to brood
over trobule or misfortune inereases
with its indulgence. So also, the
dixposition to be cheerful and happy
at all times increases with cultim—i
tion. This is by far the most admir
able trait. Those who are sunshiny
and cheerful always have the most
friends, and where are friends so true
and loyal, and so desirable to perpetu
ate as those of home and family ? The
old comparison of the bent twig is as
true in this case as in any other, and
children who grow up in aun atmos
phere of foreboding of the future, anx
ieties ahout the present, and cynical
reflections on the motives and actions
of people about them, are training a
tendeney to be miserable andsad, and
in their turn cost shadows, iustead of
sunshine, on the path of all about
them.
HE MEANT BUSINESS.
During Sherman’s famousmarch to
the sea the boys in blue sometimes re
sorted to strategic measures to fill the
mess-pot. One day a burly soldier at
tached a strong linen thread to his
bayonet. At the other end was a
small fish-hook seductively baited.
Passing anlrishwomen’s cabin he drop
ped his hook among a flock of geese and
caught a big gander. As he started
off on the double-quick, the women
noticed her pet gander rapidly follow
ing the retreating soldier, and not
suspeeting the cause, came promptly
to the rescue with, “Arral, now me
darlint, don’t run! Shure, the
gawnder won't hurt yez me honey !”
“I know he will? The durned thing
means business ! replied the defender
of the flag, as he disappeared over a
hill with the squawking gander in hot
pursuit.
THEY MIXED THE GIRLS,
On a large farm nearly in sight of
the quiet little town of Federalshurg,
Md., resides a blooming girl of twen
ty-two summers, also her cousin, two
years her senior. Both of them have
beaus, whom their stern old futher
and unele does not approve of. The
lover No. 1 and his sweetheart, nn-‘
known to the other parties had made
all their arranzements to steal off in
the still of the night and get married.
This was also the plan of the con
tracting parties No. 2. The ladder
was hidden back of the garden for
the purpose of sealing the walls at
the proper time. In the bewitching
hours of the night lover No. 1 placed
‘the ladder to the windaw of girl No.
2. 'The night was dark just at that
time. She made her exit out of the
window and into the arms of her sup
posed knight and was hurried off to’
the carriage near by. Not a word
was spoken. The earriage was gain
ed and the lash applied o the horses. |
When they arrived at the lhouse of
the preaclier, who was waiting to tie
the knot, the gallant knight then dis
covered that he had got the wrong
I;_firl. Of course there were some
salts and inward cuss words and the
tug of war came—how to get the
weeping girl back undiscovered.
Lover No. 2 met with an accident by
running his buggy against a post and
carrying away his port wheel, and
failed that night to arrive at the
house. The old man has bought a
#l3 gun, and is nightly in ambush for
for the raiders. .
Comyonore Mavry marked out
the paths of the ocean, and now it is
proposed to light them. One of the
most startling projects of the times is
to illumine the Atlantic Ocean by
means of electrie lights—actually to
make “a path of silver light” across
the water from the banks of New
foundland to the shores of Ireland.
Ten vessels are to be anchored at a
distance of 200 miles from one an
other in a siraight line, each riding
at “‘a mushroom anchor, which per
mits the vessel swinging round with
the tide without fouling her anchor.”
These lightships are also to be con

{ YOUNGEST OF POLITICIANS.
Sam Randall, Jr., is a political
lader among the boys of Capitol
Hill, says the Washington Capital.
He is 10 or 12 years of age and wears
spectacles, which makes him look
even more like his father than na-
I ture intended.. During the late cam
paign his faith in Cleveland never
wavered, although his sehool-fellows
were nearly all for Blaine. Among
his comrades he had one, Joe Dud
dington, who ewmulated him in the
steadfastness of his Democracy and
Sam determined to reward him with
an office. As soon as Congress as
sembled Sam called upon Col. Jim
Wintersmith, Doorkeeper of the
House, and demanded a place as page
for his friend Joe. The Uolonel told
him to bring Joe down some day and
he would see what could be done.
Last week the two boys appeared
at the capitol, and Sam told the Colo
nel that Joe was now ready to be
sworn in, nor would he be pacified
until the oath was administered.
“Now, you are a page, Joe. I told
you I’'d get you something good when
Cleveland got in,” said Sam, and the
two boys went away in full faith that
Joe was on the voll. Ile reported
tor duty promptly the next morning,
and the Colonel concluded that the
best way out of it was to keep him.
The parents of the two boys knew
nothing of the scheme until it had
been suceessfully carried out.
A fashionable young man ot this
beautiful village, who is of a very
economical turn, has the habit when
he sends a note to his girl of adding
this postseript: “Give negro boy a
biscuit for carrying this note.” Re
cently the young lady promptly sent
the young man quite a number of
biscuits, informing him that he could
henceforth prepay postage, and when
the rations were exhausted to draw
on her for more. A cold wave now
blows between that young lady and
her collect-on-delivery young man,—

you ever think how much time you
loose; how much needless labor you
expend; how much worry you entail,
and how much premature grey hair,
‘wrinkles and old age you bring upon
yourself, your wife and children by
negleeting to arrange your farm, your
house, stables, barn, kitchen, wood
shed, well and other necessary things
conveniently and fitly for their sev
eral purposes? Think of having to
go a long distance, perhaps, in the
dark, to the well, the stables, the
cow-pen, the wood-pile and other
places in the drenching rain, through
the cutting wind and the drifting
snow. And for your delicate wife
and tender children to be obliged to
endure such inconvenience and ex
posure, when you could prevent it, is
simply shocking.
serofula,
I have had hereditary scrofula
broken out on me for eight years.
My mother and one sister died with
it, and I, supposing that I would go
as other members of the family had,
had despaired of life. The treatment
of wercury and potash seemed to ag
gravate instead of curing the disease.
In this condition T was pressed to use
Swift Specific. After taking six bot
tles the fearful ulcers on my neck
and arms disappeared and the scars
only remain to remind me of my suf
ferings. Had I taken S. 8. 8. at first,
[ would have been a well man long
ago.

Eczema.
1 was aflected for nearly four years
with eczema. 'The doctors ecalled it
at first erysipelas. 1 was treated by
physicians. 1 was cured by Swift’s
Specific. T used about thirty bottles
and have had no trouble with itsince.
I refused to take it, even after it was
recommended to me by others, for
some time—such was my prejudice to
the name of it; but having tried it
myself, I now believe it is the best
blood purifier in all my knowledge.
It did another thing for me. 1 had
suffered from piles for many years.
Since taking this wmedicine I have
been relieved, and believe it cured
me. R. H. JoNEs.

My daughter, seven years old, has
been aftlicted with eczema for two
years, and trying other remedies in
vain, I gave her Swift's Specifie (8.
S. S.) and one and a half bottles eur
el her sound and well. It is the best
bloom remedy in the country.
