may be faithfully done, all churches
shall continue the salaries; of their

that until tin 1 cpnstions are settled,
the people build no more churches,
employ no more preache rs, and pay
no more pew rent, as they may be

“Not I,” replied the shabby man.
“Why, then, do you so register your

A man who lives up on Son 111 Bill
is grievously afllicted because the la
dy w ho superintends the weekly puri
fication of the wearing nppnif 1 al his
homo always leaves a network of
clothes line spreacl around his hack
yard. And when he made complaint
to her about it, she addressed hint in
the musical accents of Christine Ail
son’s native language, and overwhelm
ed him with a torrent of eloquence
that he could not understand. And
when he remonstrated with his wife
and daughter about it, they laughed
him to scorn, and his (laughter, who
was educated at Vassal', and can hus
tle her terrified parents out of the
house with one hand, told him if he
interiered any more in that depart
ment around that house he'd get
drowned in the wash tub. So this
man suffered. One hitter cold morn
ing be ran out to the woodshed after
kindling, and the first line caught him
under the chin and pulled his neck
until it was a foot long, and he ran
into the house and frightened his
wife into tils by his terrible appear
unco, and she threatened to apply for
a divorce if he ever made faces at her
in that way again. It was nearly
three hours before his neck shrunk
back to its natural size. And a few
nights after that lie was all dressed
to go to a party with his family, and
lie went bounding down the hack yard
to see that the alley gate was fasten
ed, and a slack line caught him amid
ships, let him run out, the slack, and
then when it hauled taut just picked
him up, tossed the breath out of him,
turned him clear over, and chucked
him down on his back, splitting his
coat from tail buttons to the neck.
And ho couldn’t speak and he couldn't
breathe only about thirty cents on
the dollar, so he couldn’t answer his
wife'and daughter when they were
ready, and they counclnded that he
had run away to avoid going with
them; so they went oft' without him,
and never came back until eleven
o’clock, and the man lay out in the
yard all that time trying to die. And
one time after that he was jogging
across the back yard with his arms
i full of about three hundred pounds
of hard wood, and was laughing like
a hyena at something he had just read,
when a clothes prop slipped just as
he passed under the line and dropped
ion his head, raising a lump as big as
an egg, and he fell forward, and the
line caught right in his mouth, and
sawed it clear back to his ears so that
when he tried to smile, tho top of his
head only hung on a hinge.
Well, these things naturally weigh
ed on his mind and depressed him,
but they set him to thinking, and he
wont to work and invented a patent
clothes lino reel, which was enclosed
iu a heavy cast iron box, and was
worked by a powerful automatical ar
rangement. V oil had to wind up the
box and set it for a certain nour. just
like an alarm clock, and at that hour
tt;o reel would off *tnd pull uu lie
line like a team of nudes, the spring
hook at the ocher end of the line
would let go its held, and that line
wound up at the rate of 7,000 miles a
minute. He said nothing about hi®
invention, but put- up the hex and
told some lie about it to his family,
which is a way men have, and set it
for seven o’clock, t. m., and wound it
up strong. Then he watched Mess
Ailson’s compatriot run out the line
and adjust the hook, and he went
away.
About seven o'clock that evening,
wlii’e he was toasting his feet at the
! tire and reading the almanac, the fam
ily were disturbed by unmistakable
indications of a light going on in the
: back yard between a hurricane and an
earthquake, in which the earthquake
appeared to he getting a little the
best of it. The affrighted family
rushed to the back door, and looked
upon a scene of devastation and an
archy. The air was fall of fragments
of linen and cotton and red flannel,
and shirt buttons and clothespins
and little brass buckles w ere flying
like hail. The reel in the iron box
was making about sixty thousand rev
olutions a minute, and was whirling
round like a threshing mailin', and
the line was tearing round posts like
a streak of runaway lightning, and
the clothes were trying to keep along
with it and around the posts they
were l ipping and tearing, and snap
ping more than any cyclone that ever
got lost, while the line shot into tin
hole in the iron box the stripped stock
ings and white shirts and things, and
flannels and yarn socks and under
skirts and more things, and aprons
and handkerchiefs and sheets and
things and pillow slips, just foamed
and bulged and tossed wildly and rip
ped aiul tore and scraped, until the
yard and air were so full of lint that
i f looked worse than an arctic snow
storm, Oh !it was dreadful. It was
terrible. Everybody shrieked in dis
mav.
“SoiueMcH's t. flic close line 1
screamed the wan’s daughter.
"Good heavens!” yelled thejiian,
“hadn't you tai<en the clothes in™’
“No!” they chorused.
The man thought ho would save
whftt was left. He sprang at the
clothesline. lie caught the flying
hook at the end with both hands, and
tlie next instant, before tht terrified
eyes of his wife and daugh™ - , he was
jerked in through the hole in the
iron box, a quivering inass ol'bone
and flesh while his glistening skele
ton -fell rattling upon the porch.
They gathered his framework off
tiro porch and uuloc.Kod the box and
drew out bis covering. Tie was not
dead, so deftly and quicK had he
been removed from his frarriework.
They sent for the doctors, but their
siiill could not avail to get the man
together again, and now he sits, limp
and boneless, in a bigb-bacKed easy
chair, smiling sadly at. his grinning
tutelelon, which sits in a chair on (he
opposite side of the stove, grinning
sociably at his counterpart, and rat
tling horribly every tipio it crosses its
bony legs or scratches the tap of its
ylistcnitig head with its "aunt llenli
less fingei .. And thus that poor man
has to drag out a dattl existence until
denth comes to both of them. It in a
painful, expensive life, for the skeleton
cuts just a : much as tho flesh, and the
tlesh has tiiKen to smoking ten-cent
cigars, and the sKeleton can’t sleep a
wins unices it lifts a big hot whisKcy
every night at bedtime. And all this
is tin- result of wioited carelessness.
What a dreadful, dreadful warning to
those neglectful women who leave the
elotln line stretched across the yard
in every direction after night!

THE WEEKLY ft IX.
1776. NEW YORK. 1876.
Eighteen hundred unit He vent,' y -six is the
Centennial year. It is nb. the year in
which an Opposition House of Iteprescnta
ti\ ■ . the first .pice tie Avar, will he iu pow
er at Washington; and tho year of the twen
ty-third election ofu President of the United
States All oj these events are sure to Le of
great iutmvr i ami importance, especially
the Litr: and all of th m and everything
connected with tie m will b“ fully imported
and expounded in 'l’m: ftuy.
The Opposition House of ,s.
taking up the line of iuquiry opened years
ago by Tin: Sun. will sternly and dilligently
investigate th*’corruption and misdeeds of
Guam s ndiuiuii.Uation, nud will, it is to bo
Imped, lay the foundation for a new and
better period in our national history. Ot
all this Cue Sun will contain coinpleU* and
aeeurate aceount 1 -’, furnishing its readers
with etrlv and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing lopies.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the pr< jiarations for it. will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grant's aspiration
for a third t.-nn of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall be the ean
pidate of the narty of lb form, and as elec
ting that candidate. Concerning nil these
subjea Is, thus, win('lvad Tip- fti N will have
the constant means of being thoroughly well
informed.
The Wleki.i AN. which lifts attained a
; circulation cd’over eight thousand copies,
already has its readvrs in every State and
( Territory, and we trust that the year 1876
i will see their numbers doubled, it will be
a thorough newspaper. All the gem*ml
news of the day will lie found in it, eondens
: ed when unimportant, at full 1 rngth when
of moment': and always, we trust, treated in
■a el ar, int Testing and instructive man
j ner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
best fmnjlv newspaper in th - world, upd we
shall eontnine.to giv. in its eolninns a large
' amount of miflcellaneouN re ading.* su<di its
i stories, tales, poems, scientific, intelligence
and agricult”r-d information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edi
tion. The agricultural d*. par In* ut t special
ly is one of its prominent features. The
fashions arc- also regularly reported in its
I colupuis; and so are the market of every
| kind.
rhe Weekly Sun. eight pem-s with tifty
| six broad columis is only $1.20 a year,
1 postage prepaid. As this price barely re
pays the cost of the paper, no discount can
be made from this rate to club.;, agents,

Tho Daily Si n, a large fon.t page nows
j paper of twenty-eight columns, gives all the
news for two (ants a copy. Subscription
