It is related of a Coni.w ticot wo-1
m in, --host husbaud died a sliorf
time’iifro. Unit instead of lomiRitiK and
lauguis >>u»f about until(mne one ask
ed lier marry again, sbe |»lait.ly an
nounced that she wanted n new hus
band, and named the price ilint she
wns ready to pay for a satisfactory ar
ticle, Of course there were plenty ot
applicants, and at least one of tin in
met tli" widow’s views, for there was
a wedding that very day.
Thera is nothing romantic about
this sort of match-making, but, on the
other hand, there is no nonsense j
about it. Iustend of listening to a j
story so tender and ardent that she j
could not have the heart to question
the suitor’s fitness for the place to
which he aspired, tbo widow adopted
a mel hod that enabled her to talk
sense beforo marriage, and learn what
penalise there would be of a sentiment
utiei ward. She did not consume a
number of the best years of her iif>
in wishing that one or another man
would propose, but she ascertained,
like a sensible woman, who was really
in the market, and made her choice
from those that were availuble. Sen
timentalists may sneeriDgly say that
the man married for money, hut will I
they mention any other miiu who
failed to do likewise when he had »
chance ? The widow and her new
husband began life with a distim i
understanding, and without having
had any lovers’ quarrels; let senti
mental couples Bhow a better begin
ning if they can.
He Bought a Collin for Ills Wire, lint
Filled It Himself,
Some years ago there came to Cali
fornia an ugod couple from Vermont
They procured themselves a beautiful
home within a few miles of Sacraiiien
to City. The exemplary lifo they led
caused them to always enjoy the con
fidence, esteem and respect of all wli
knew thorn. A few woiks since tl
wife wns taken seriously ill. All that
kind friends could do, and li
host medical skill seemed to I
nimble to stay the disease, ami In I
life wiis despaired ’of The hiisbiuid,
realizing that be would soon be i n.l< <1
upon to pay the last sad rites, uu.ll
follow to the tomb nil that his heart
bold most dear, began to pr.piii'
himself for wlmt be supposed was n
evitable. He came to the city, vnjte.i
tbo cemetery and purchased the fin
est lot tbat could bo obtained--
He then proceeded to an uudertiik. i's
and purchased tbo best eusket that lie
could find, nnd had it sent to his
home. Ho spoko to a minister in re-
gaid to the funeral service, selected
tie- text from which be wished ih- fu
neral sermon preached, and
e.I the songs and requiems wi.n-h lie
wished sung at her obseqni-s. T'-n
divine and others renmrkeil t«> In
(hat his preparations were mud- .wih
undue hnste, nnd that it would b>i>k
butter to wait until after the .lentil of
his wife before rnnking these ■ui niige-
iiieuts. Ho heeded not tl.. .1 advice,
nor would he listen to then > i.treat
ies. He said: “ She is going to die.
Would to God there was, hut th. ru is
no hope. For imiliv years ... have
struggled aloug lit tong It lit. teg. iber,
loved and cherished by each other.—
I shall spare neither money nor
pains to see tlmt sbe is de
cently interred, and tbat her tomb
shall he marked bv an everlasting
monument.” Strange to sav, about
the 1 line lie supposed his wit. would
die -lie began to slowly rerow i. He
ill :In* meantime became ill. .She
grew rapidly better, and lie gradually
became worse. In it couple . f weeks
she entirely recovered, and I • died.
He was placed in the casket •
for his wife wns buried iu tie

rms wABUtxaxojf moxument.
A splendid elevator, which cost about
$40,000, and is the highest in the world,
carried ns up. The elevator at the top
supports on its four corner tubes the
four cranes which lay the stone, if ne
cessary, on the four sides at once. A
little railroad brings iu the great blocks
of stone, weighing from two to six tons
apiece, and places them on the elevator,
with a low car beneath the stone. The
elevator is open, and I had to sit down
and hug the stone to avoid dizziness
and the terrible tumble down the stone
shaft The elevator ascends very delib
erately and smoothly, and will curry ten
tons. As the monument is built up
ward, the elevator is mortised into it,
and continues to rise twenty feet at a
time.
The blocks of marble, seven feet long
and two feet square, are set as easily
os bricks in French limo and Portland
cement. The block wo went up with
was in its place in ten minutes. The
walls at the bottom are fifteen feet
thick, and at that point, U there were
no cavity, would mako a solid shaft of
stone thirty feet thick. At the point
where they are now setting stone the
walls are only seven feet thick, and at
the top, 600 feet above the ground, will
be only a foot and a half thick. The
exterior, or facing of marble, is only
four-sevenths of the present thickness.
The lining, of Capo Ann 'unite, is
join tod through at certain s; vith the
marble to unite the two 4 stone
more thoroughly. No hot wed for
bolts nnd rivets anywh. . ; .eh mar
ble stone, os described, when put into
plooo has cost $76. The marble is quar
ried about Bixty miles from the monu-
pi P Tit,
Tho 150 feet of the shaft finished
nearly thirty years ago is miserable work
compared to tho present, nnd the irreg
ular stone of that period nru tho only
suggestions of weakness alioiit tint edi
fice. The monument ran be finishod in
three years. It will have a lantern or
cupola on tho top, of iron, fifty feet
higher titan the masonry, making C50
feet in nil. Every foot of the shaft has
been underpinned with a solid apron or
platform of stone 100 feet square. At
tho top thirteen men work constantly,
quiet os pigeons in u barn-cote. Tho
immense fort of stone at that great
height is beautiful iu its symmetry, as
largo as a comfortable dwelling. The
view is already grand, comprising the
whole District of Columbia and many
miles of Virginia. The city looks like a
mass of loose stones carelessly cast over
the plain, with some toy public build-
lugs lying between.— Was/ihiytou biter.

Nay, have we not ourselves the re- ;
membronce of a time, when, having j
striven with ull the might of cm eliitd-
nnture to overcome u defect or to do
Borne good deed, we hungered for a
Word of commendation and encourage
ment, but we hungered in vatu. We
possibly can evou now recall the pang
which almost rent our hearts asunder
when, instead of the recognition of our
starving, we were rated on the manifes
tation of auother and different fault.
Let us not then forget child-nature is
the same to-duy us it was •• when we
