PROFANITY AND PARAL

E A Sudden Prostration That Look

\ The Wichita (Kan.,) Beacon ix
' responsible for a very singular st
| ry of a young man who was sud
| denly paralyzed in that city some
I time ago immediately atter having
‘made a very irreverent remark.
l Frank Morton, of Moberly, Mo.,
was boarding, in April last, at the
| Arlington House, Wichita. ~He
| was a gon(h}]mrfi?d young man,but
linelined to scoffat religion, Led
‘loy curiosity, he visited meetings
| then being held by members of the
{ Salvation Army, snd on Friday
'night, about the middle of the
]month, placed himself among the
| penitents at the bench.
After the meeting Morton, in
company with a friend. repaired
to.the hotel, and for some time
stood talking at the counter near
the clerk’s desk. There were probs
| ably twelve or fifteen other people
|in the office at the time. Finally
! Morton's friend said,*‘Good night,
' Frank,” and Morton responded,
“(rood night; I'll meet you in hell
l hefore morning.” Almost betore
lthc words were out of his mouth
|he lay stretched on the floor, falls
(ing as if he had been stri i with a
]c]ub The people in the roop ran
to him, and, lifting him up, they
saw his closed eyes and livid face,
leoking for all the world just like
ldeath. w
He was gently laid back on the
floor, and Dr, J 11 Iskins, the
i nearest physician, was called. He
saw at once that the man was not
dead, but thought truw he bad an
epiieptic stroke or had taken pois
on of some kind.
After working with hun for some
time consciousness was restored,but
he could not move himself or speak.
After vainly attempling to speak
or arise he motioned for paper and
pencil, which was given him. The

(The Vistress of the White House.
' The mistress of the White Housc
'stands in a position more trying by
[ far than that ot any crewned sov-
Lercion in Europe. Everything and

' She must unite all the qualities
that go to make up a thorough
lady; she must pass the ordeal of
'hours of what may be called public
cservitude withont betraying the
[least fatigue or inhospitality,
whether her guests at a erowded
[ levee come from the wild woods or
l from the most cosmopolitan centre;
t she must understar.d the art of in
formal receptions—must be, like
foreign royalties. “aracious,”
“condescending” and *‘amiable,”
and at the same time be thorough-

severely handled by all the
“sovereign people” who constitute
themselves her criticss She has

His Dodge Failed,
Thursday moruing a doctor rang
the bell at a Sioux Falls house and
to the woman who responded said:
“Madame, your husband said you
had sustained some serious injuries
this morning and sent me up to soe
you.”
“Well, you can just go right
back again.” replied the woman
vigorously, beginning to get red in
the face. ““I'm all right, and you

“'DROLL EPITAPHS.
Comical Inseriptions on Some
Tombs In Engtish Church
Yards.
Some worthy persons in the days
long gone by were possessed of a
peculiar kiml of grim humor blend
el with simplicity if we may judge
from the sepulchral odditios which
are to be found in old churchyards.
Many of the epitanhs in the couns
try churchyards of England have
reference to the professions of the
departed, and they are often ex
pressed in exccedingly droll terms.
For example the followinz com
memorates the sturdy tellov wlo
kept tho.4urnpike at Worcester,
and demanded toll of George ITI.
when His Majesty was going on a
visit to Bishop Tlurd :
“On Wednesday last old Robert
Sleath
Passed through the turnpile road
to Death.
To him would Death no toll ahate
Who stopped the King at Wor'ster
gate.”
This is on an innkeeper at Barn
well, wear Cambridse :
“Man's life imlik - a winter's day:
Some only brealfast and away
Others to dinner sty and ave full fed
The cldest mau but sups and goes
to bed,
Liong is life \3‘.o lingersout the day;
Who goes the saonest has the least
to pay,
Death is a waiter; some few run
" on tick,
And zome, alas! must pay the bill
to Nick !
Though I owed mueh I hope LoxG
TRUST 18 GIVEN,
And troly mean to pay.all” debts
in Heuiven,”
Thiz iz on an undertaker :
“Here lieth Robin Masters—faith;
"twas hard
To take away our honest Robin’s
vreath ;
Yet, surely, Robin was full well
prepared
Robin was always looking out
tor death,”
In Walton Churchyard, near
Liverpool, is the following, on
George Miles, blacksmith, who
died in 1719 : 2
“My «ledge aud hammer lye re
cline 1,
My bellows also lost their wind,
My fire’s extinct, my forge de
cayed, »
My vice i’ the dust my friends
have laid,
My coals are spent, my iron gone,
My nails are drove, my work is
done.”
And this is on a coilier «
‘“Here lies the collier John of
Nashes,
By whom death nothing gained,
he swore ;
For, living, he was dust and ashes,
And being dead, he is no more,”
In Stepuey Churehyard, Lon.
don, it the following quaint epicaph
on Captain John Dunch, who died
in 1697 :
““Though Boreas’ blasts and Nep
tune'’s waves
Have tossed me to and fro,
T spite of hothy hy God's decree,
I' ) I anchor liere below,
{ Where I do now at anchor nide
[ With many ot our floet;
' Yet once axain I mnat sot sail,
t Our Admiral, Christ, to meet,”
| This is on a noted juzgler
[ “Death came to sed thy teicks, and
| . cut in twain
| The thread —why didst no% make
i it whole again ?”/
{ _ This on Little Stephen, a famous
Suffolk fiddler:
:“Step’.xen and Time are now both
| evel
Stephien beat Time; now Tire's
’ beat Stephen.”
i On anotorious miser:
| “Here Iyeth Fathor Sparges,
‘ Who died to save charoes.”
| Onalawyer named Stranve :
“Here lies an honest lawyer—
that’s Strange !”
This is on a Mr. Bywater: :
“Here lin the remains of his relas
tives pride;
‘By water he lived, and by water
he died ;
Thouzh by water he full, yet by
’ water he'll rise,
By water bantismal attaining the
| skies,”
~ On a marine officer;
“Herelieg,vetired from busy scenes,
A first lieutenant of marines,
- Who lately lived in peace and plenty
- On board the ship the Atlanta;
- Nowstrinped of all his warlike shqw
Ana laid in box of elm below,
Confined to earth in narrow horders,
He rises not till further orders.”

are still quoted the world over,—
‘ He stirred ap the Wisconsinans at

long pole. Awong other telling

’ Alluding, to an oceasion upon :
which, with a friend, he attempt
ed to obtain assistance to reach his

Mposons, he said : |
P “And now you will say: “Jones

But say that Jones says: “\When

on your masonry.” I'll say that ;
and it's the same with you Baptists,

you: This want of sympathy in
