CURED.
Peter Patterson was ill—at least
he thought so—anti depressed; he
hated the dusty streets, in which
the summer heat burnt and the
summer sun shone beloie the green
leaves hud draped the trees, and
potted geraniums, which had come
to be so blessedly popular in New
York, lent their summer freshness.
“What shall I do, doctor?" he
said. “You say nothing ails me,
hut I can tell what tny feelings are
better than you can. I—know I
aliaII he down with something soon.
I rode in a ear with half-dozen dir
ty children the other day—to the
small-pox hospital, I haven’t
doubt—very red and nasty looking,
ail of them; and while I was buy
ing something in a store down
Broadwaythe other day a horrid
old woman begged of me because
her husb.-.nd was sick w ith typhoid
fever. No di uLt I have caught both
cPa.au, ■ j!(] its tiie complication,
t oil t ..,zz.ee y.-ii. Couldn’t relish mj
coffee tin., morning, left my milk
toast untouched, l^ateful life, that
of a bachVkr at a hotel. O , dear
me!"
“Why d t.’t you marry, then?’’
Raid the ouctor.
“1 hey need so much courting,
you spend six months or so, at least,
d tngling at a woman’s apron
strings. You must go to the theatre
and opera if -she is gay, and to
church if she is pious. At fifty a
man likes his slippers and dressing*
gown and chair of an evening. If
it was just stepping over to the
clergyman’s and getting married,
putting a ring on her finger and
saying or nodding yes two er three
times, why, I wouldn’t mind it,
you know.”
“Ah, well, courting is the fun of
It all, in tny opinion,’’ said the old
doctor, “hut every man to his taste.
And my advice to you is to get out
into tho country.’’
“To another hotel and more mer-
cenery waiters!’’ said Mr. Patter*'
son.
‘■No,” said the doctor; “ge to a
nice piivate home. I know' one—a
motherly widow lady, who cooks a
dinner fit lor a king. River before
the house, woods behind it, orchard
to the left, kitchen garden to the
right; no fever and ague; no mos-
quitots. Heavenly! I am going
U p there to-morrow, and I’ll see if
■lie’ll take you.’’
“Very well,” said Mr. Patterson;
“I think I will try it.”
“And you must drink plenty of
milk and eat plenty of nice home
made bread.”
“Yes, I will,” said Mr. Pattersou,
overjoyed at least at hearing some
thing like a prescription. “And
you would advise milk?"
“A quart of it every day,” said
the doctor.
“I’ll take a note of it,” said Patter
son, “and it 1 should he very ill,
she’ll nurse me?”
“Splendidly,” said the doctor, and
went his way.
. Mr. Patterson thought the matter
over and thought better of it every
day,and when the little noteiuforin-
ing him that the widow would ba
willing to -take him in and do for
him” reached him, he had his trunk
and portmanteau already packed

I a fresh complexion and dimples on
his cheeks. She had savory herb
teas and potions Which she pro
duced when he complained of feel
ing miserable.
For two months and mere, Mr.
Patterson boorded with Mrs. Mun-
tle, and happier months he never
lived through. Then he went
back to tbe city for a few weeks, re
turning in urgent need ef more pel
lets from the medicine cheat, and
staying until the last pink chry
santhemum was blooming on its
withered branches. He had grown
•o fond of his iittle room, with its
white curtains and fresh grass
bleached linen, of the coustry good
things and of the buxom Mrs. Mun-
ile, that he could not bear the
thought of parting with them alto
gether.
After ail, why could he not buy a
house and get Mrs. Muntie to keep
it for-him? Perhaps she would.
He would offer a high salary, and
she could have plenty of servants.
Then, indeed, he might have friends
to dine w ith him, and be as happy
as possible. If only he could ap
proach his hostess, showing her as
he did so that he considered her
hie equal and a lady—and all that
he certainly was; a clergyman’s
daughter and the,widow of a coun
try doctor.
After milch consideration he fin
ally mustered courage for the effort
and walked into the front parlor
and sent the servant to ask Mrs.
Muntle to please stap there for a
moment.
“Gracious!” thought Mrs. Muntle
to herself; “what can he want ?”
Then she blushed brightly, set
tled her necktie, took off her apron
and walked-demurely in.
“Re seated, ma’am,” said Mr. Pat
terson. “Hit here please, Allow
me to sit near you, at I have some
thing to ask which may require
some consideration.”
“Ob, dear, it is coming!” thought
Mrs. Muutle.
“1 suppose you know I’m a man
of considerable means, Ma’am,”
said the old bachelor, “able to bay a
nice house, furnish it well and live
in it comfortably?”
“So I’ve understood, Mr. Patter-
sou,” said the widow.
“And of courae it is pleasanter te
live that way than at a hotel,” said
Mr. Patterson.
“I should jndge it might be,” said
Mrs. Muntle cautiously.
“You judge rightly,” said Mr. Pat
terson; “but you know a bachelor
ust he in the hands of servants if
he keeps a house. A gentleman
doesn’t want that; he wants a lady
to superintend things for him—some
one of taste and refinement and all
that. Com nion people don’t under
stand his feelings, and mercenary
servants area poor dependence.”
I Know that,” said Mrs. Mun
tle.
“You are almost as much alone
as I, aren’t you, Mrs. Muntle?”said
Mr. Patterson, caaxingly.
“The doctor knew him. Ha’s go
ing to do it just as he said he would
if he ever did,” 6aid the lady to
herself. Aloud she answered:
“Well, sir, I am pretty free, it is
true. All my children are married
well.”
“I know money would ba no ob
ject to you,” said Mr. Patterson.
You have enough. But if I was to
tell you that 1 hated boarding
houses and wanted a home, I think
you would hme pity on me. I’ll
buy a beautilul house, and you
shall have complete control of ev
erything; only to make my straw
berry short-cake for me all my
life.”
He paused and looked at the la
dy.
That is delicately put,” he
thought.
‘New will you hire out for
housekeeper, I wonder.”
“I ain’t romantic, though,” said
Mrs. Muntle; “hut still we-ain’t
young, neither of us, and it gets to
be just that with the most senti
mental after awhile.”
Don’t refuse me," pleaded M,
Patterson.
Well, Mr. Patteraon, I won’t,”
said Mrs. Muntle. “I’m my own
mistress; and though I've never
thought of a second marriage,why 1
think I’m warranted in making
one. And no doubt I shall never re
pent,for I think you’ve a fine dispo
sition,and I understand your ways
and taste.
Mr. Patterson listened. He saw
wbt she had done—proposed and
heen accepted without having any
idea of wh-t he was about. He
looked at Mrs. Muntle. She was
very nice and comely and ten fears

He could not have dane a better
thing, and would be married w.tb
out any troublesome courting. Se
he at once put his arm around Mrs
Mantle’s waist and said:

Danbury RTrns out hourly on an
Horrible. Thesgh Trae.
Miss Muloch says: “I have been
thinking how horribie it must be
to see anybody one cared for drunk;
the honest eye dull and meaning
less; the wise lips jabbering foolish
ness; the whole face and figure, in
stead of what one likes to look at,
takes pleasure to see in the same
room evg/i—growing ugly, irration
al, disgusting—more like a beast
than a man. Yet some women have
to hear it, have to speak kindly to'
their husbands, hide their brutish
ness and keep th-ro from making
worse fools of themselves than
they can help. I have seen it done,
not merely by workingmen’s wives,
but lady-wives in drawing-rooms.
I think if I were married,
and I saw my husband the
least overcome with wine, not
‘drunk’ may be, but just excited,
sill}', otherwise than, his natural
self, it would nearly drive me wild.
Less on my account than his. See
him sink—not for a crime, but a
contemptible, cowardly bit of sen
sualism—from the height where my
love placed him, to have to take
care of him—ay, and I might pity
im; but I think the full glory and
jr.-.ssion of my love would* die out
th< nand there forever.”
Alcohol a Poison.
We pat a drop ot alcohol into a
man’s eye. It poisons it. We try it
U|Hiii the lining ol a living stomaeh.
Again it poisons it. We study, af
ter death, the stomach of drinking
men, and find alcohol produces in
regular stages redness, intense con
gestion, morbid secretion?, deeper
hurt, destruction ot parts, utter
ruin. We study its influence upon
the health and strength of sailors
and soldiers, and find it helps to
freeze them in arctie regions and
exhaust them in the tropics.
We watch two regi-
ments on a long march in India,
one with and the other without
grog, and are driven to the conclu
sion that even moderate quantities
of alcohol weaken the muscles and
break the endurance. We visit the
training ground of oarsmen, pedes
trians, and prize-fighters, and learn
everywhere the same lesson—alco
hol is a poison to muscle and brain.

The Southern Bivouac
FOR MARCH.
The opening article in the South
ern Bivouac for March is by R. T.
Durrett, of Louisville. It is the
first of a series of three, on the
Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 ard
1799.
The second article in the Sooth-,
ern Bivouac for March is by W. F.
Gorden, once sentenced to death as
a spy, and respited only a few mo
ments before the hour ot execu
tion.
A privato in Forrest’s Cavalry
gives some “Reminiscences ot the
Confederate Cavalry service,” and
describes the death of General Mc
Cook.
“Uncle Adam’s Funeral -Feast,” is

and describes pleasantly a number
of superstitions prevailing among
negroes, and the customs due to
these superstitions.
Drinks for the Yolce.
Tea, coffee and cocoa are three
admissible drinks, but none in ex-
For the voice cocoa is the
most beneficial. It should never
be too strong, and those cocoas are
best that have been deprived of its
oil. A enpof thin cocoa is more
recommended between the exer
tions of singing than other alcoholic
beverages. Tea must not be tak

drawn too long, for tea then be
comes acrid and has a bad in
fluence on the mucons membrane
that lines the throat. There is al
ways a dry sensation after having
taken a cup of tea that has drawn
too long. A vocalist had better do
without sugar in tea and only take
milk in it, or K an exhilarating
drink he needed, mix some claret
with the tea, putting in a slice of
lemon and some honey.
GENERAL NEWS
We Acknowledge

First comes a “Catechism on intem
perance and Tobac.o,” which pre

facts concerning what the author
calls the “twin evils,” arranged in a
convenient form fer children—and
grown people too—to commit to
memory. It is sent free to any ad
dress.
Next come a “Farmer’s Hand-
Book” and a “Merchant’s Manual:”
These two books show animal,
depth ef thought, and their author
whoever he may be, has skillfully
brought together more useful facts
and suggestions within the compass
of their pages, than are found in
ordinary books of double their size.
Every farmer should have the
Hand-Book, every merchant the
Manoal.
The “Ladies’ Book” is a collection
of interesting amusements, and all
manaer of hints on the very sub
ject most ladies are bound to know,
w'e will tell yon the rest when our
wife gets through with it; for the
present she will not let it go out of

Charles L Webster, the publish
er, paid to Mrs-Grant, as her prof
its upon the sale of the first vol
ume of General OrantVMemoirs,’”
the sum of $200,000. In a letter to
Cyrus W Field, Mr. Webster says:
The contract with General Grunt
for the publication uf the ‘Memoirs’
was signed just a year ago to-day,
since which time the book has been
practically written, published and
the great bulk ot money for the
first volume collected.
It seems fitting to me on the an
niversary of -the signing of that
contract to payl to, Mrs. Grant the
check. More is due her and will
be paid as soon aa collected. We
expect to collect as much again
when the second volume appears
so'that Mrs. Grant’s profits within
a year from publication will not
fail below $400,000 and will prob
ably reach $500,000.
This is probably the largest roy
alty ever paid on a single book, and
there is little doubt that the amount
on the. second volume will be as
larger

Harper’s Magazine for March
opens with a graphic description of
Krupp’sgun-making departmental
Essen, by Moncure D. Conway, ef

The subject is one ofr exceptional
interest because this is the largest
manufacturing establishment un

world, employing over SP.000 men
and owning 574 mines; becau-e of
the social features connected with
Krupp’s provision for the comfort
ol his workmen and for the educa

the attention of all nations is now
especially directed to the manu
facture of heavy ordnance. The ar

based on tbe theory of compulsory
