Oh. hand me down my spike-tail coat
And reef my waistband in,
And tie this necktie round my throat
Aud fix my bosom pin:
I feel so weak and flustered like,

For I’m to be wedded to-day, Dau'I,
I’m to be wedded to-day!
Put double sentries at the door
And pull the curtains down,
And tell the Democratic bores
That I am out of town.
It’s funny folks hain’t decency
Enough to stay away,
When I'm to be wedded to-day, Dau’I
I'm to be wedded to-day!
The bride, you suy, is calm and cool
In satin robes of white;
Well, I am stolid, as a rule,
But now I'm flusterod quite. v’
Upon a surging sea of bliss
My soul is borne away,
For I'm to be wedded to day, Dan'I,

Preserving Eggs
The very low price of eggs has
; this year come unusually early, and
it is i.ow so much lower than it has
everaged of late years that the
chances are rather for an advance
before fall. Certainly eggs at pres¬
ent rates are cheap food, and who¬
ever will preserve them until winter
will be pretty sure of a profit. Dip¬
ping the eggs in strong lime water
and then packing in salt is a safe
way to preserve them. They should
be in a tight box, which should be
turned over two or three days to pre¬
vent the yolk from settling down so
as to touch the shell.
“i
AN EXTRACT From My DIARY
‘V. SHARP.”
A handsome, intelligent, well bred
young man, a scion of one of the
best families in America, whom we
will call Eggleston, and who was al¬
so possessed of great wealth, bad be
con c addicted to both the morphine
habit and inebriety. He occupied
a high social position and one of hon¬
or and trust, was one of tho direc¬
tors of a wealthy bank, and also of
a large Railroad company, and was
the petted favorite of a large and in¬
fluential circle of friends and acquain
UNMtes, and to crown the dearest
wish of his life, the day was set—
some months ahead, for his union
with the idol of his heart, the ad
mired of all admirers, the belle of
the city of , and daughter of
a wealthy capitalist, whose heart and
hand all complimented him on win¬
ning except those who envied aim.
Hopes and prospects never appeared
brighter nor higher for human heart.
But alas! he was not happy. One
sin til blue cloud, the morphine bot¬
tle, magnified itself secretly into a
dark and scrowling spectre that over
shadowed his life, from which a ‘still
small voice’ seemed ever to warn
him of some dreadful impending
doom.
In this melancholy mood lie called
for treatment, and seemed somewhat
relieved, and viewed his future in a
brighter light, when I told him I
thought he could be cured, but lie
was assured that it would require a
hard struggle ou his part, and he
would Have to bring to bear all the
fortitude and physical endurance of
which his nature was capable. Hav¬
ing imparted tome his heart’s secret,
and exulted so happily in the joys
that would be his when freed from
the tyrant morphine, and in pressing
tenderly to his bosom, as his own,
that fair, sweet idol of his heart, lie
assured me would inspire him to en¬
dure any and everything.
lie informed me, however, that lie
had some important business to
transact in Chicago, that would oc¬
cupy at least a week of his time. I
advised him therefore to go and at¬
tend to that first, as it would be nec¬
essary for him to lay aside all busi¬
ness, for the time, to enable him to
devote all Ins energies to bis treat
ment. He therefore left with a light
and happy heart, engaging to be back
on that day week to commence treat¬
ment.
He arrived safely at Chicago, and
with already a full dose of morphine
inserted into his arm with that little
“Hell Machine” known as a hypoder¬
mic syringe coursing through his
veins, lie unfortunately wended his
way to one of those gorgeous, hand¬
somely furnished and elegantly ap¬
pointed saloons for which Chicago
is so noted, and in an hour or two
left the place reeling from one side
of the pavement to the other, catch¬
ing at every lamp post and telephone
pole till turning the corner that led
to his hotel, he staggered, missing
the post, and fell prostrate across the
side walk, striking his head against
the curb stone cutting an ugly gash
on his temple, knocking him sense
loss'
He suffered concussion of the brain
but the flow of blood soon restored
him to consciousness, but only to find
himself pushed forcibly along hy
two men whom heat once recognized
as policemen. He offered' bribes
in any amount to be taken to his
hotel instead of to the city prison,
but whether under other circmnstan
ees the officers would have accepted
will never be known, but certain it
is they took him to the prison where
all his wealth could procure him no
better accommodations than that as¬
signed to the lowest mendicant.
Reported at the police headquar¬
ters as “dead drunk on the streets,*’
be was rudely pushed into a cell and
hearing the heavy iron door clang,
shut and the bolt shot home in the
lock, he was so overcome with emo¬
tions of mortification and disgrace
he threw himself upon the rude iron
cot and sobbed like q child until the
’combined influence of the morphine
and whisky at last overcame him
and be fell into a deep sleep, and
though incarcrated in a dungeon he
no doubt
“Dreamt that he dwelt in jrarlile Halls
With vassals and serfs at. his side,
Ami djeamt what pleased him most of all,
That she whom he loved was his bride.”
But alas! his happy dreaming
ceased, he awoke with a start—it
was morning, Sunday morning, and
he could not have a hearing, pay
his fine and go free, as no court
could beheld until Monday morning,
at least twenty-four hours without
his usual dose of morphine, and with
the horrible craving already upon
him, lie called aloud till he brought
the turnkey to his door savagely in¬
quiring why he was making all that
noise. Eggleston replied that he
wanted twenty grains of morphine
and must have it. “Hit’s agin or¬
ders,” roughly answered the turn¬
key, “an’ I’m not a gwine ter give
it ter ye.”
“Oh do, please, for God’s sake—
for the sake of suffering huinanUy,”
begged Eggleston, and continued—
“I’m in the habit of using it and if
I don’t get twenty grains twice a
day I’ll suffci terribly, indeed I’ll
die.
“Oh, oh!” replied the heartless
turnkey with a sneer, “you can’t
fool me, you look like one of these
dudish siety fellars and is mortified
an’ wants ter kill yerselt wid it.”
“Oli, no, indeed I do not,” replied
Eggleston, “I am compelled to have
it. I’ll give you five dollars to get
me just twenty grains of nioiphine.”
“No, 1 can’t,” interrupted the
turnkey.
“I'll give you ten, yes, twenty—
I'll gite you fifty dollars if you will
only get me twenty grains” contin¬
ued Eggleston.
“No I won’t,” said the turnkey,
gruffly, “I said I won’t, and I won’t
and that’s the end on it, and you’d
better keep quint,” and turning on
his heel walked away in a defiant
manner, exulting no doubt in his ‘lit¬
tle brief authority.’
Eggleston finding both pleading
and offer of bribes equally vain and
helpless in Ins cell and alone, threw
himself again upon his rude couch,
giving himself up to meditation, and
brooding over his unfortunate con¬
dition but determined to endure as
long as possible.
Born and raised to command, and
now compelled by circumstances to
play the suppliant to a menial so
galled him as to cause him to court
oblivion in the leveling, soothing in¬
fluence of the drug. About noon,
therefore, feeling the paoxysm of
craving more severely as ca-h hour
dragged slowly by lie began his
screams again crying out— murder—
“Help! help! murder!
fire!” and every other exclamation
he could think of, till the gruff turn¬
key again appeared at the cell door,
ordering Eggleston to “dry up and
let me hear no more of your racket.”
“Well,” most earnestly pleaded
Eggleston, “I’ll give you a hundred,
yes, five hundred dollars,” with great
emphasis, “for only just 20 grains
of morphine.”
“Nawyes don’t,” sneeringly re¬
plied tho turnkey, “yer can’t come
that game over me, and” continued
lie menacingly, “if I hear any more
r„ ss f,- om y 0U I’ll put handcuffs on
j you and chain you to the floor—so I
w -j|| ; ni)W take warning and keep
your mouth shut.”
As the sun was going down the
turnkey with his squad went to take
each prisoner a piece of bread and a
teacup of water, when Eggleston
again renewed his entreaties offering
a thousand dollars for twenty grains
of morphine, and the turnkey still
refused, when Eggleston said:
“Bring me pen, ink and paper, if
you think I am either unwilling or
unable to pay it, and I’ll either give
you a written agreement or a check
direct upon the bank for the amount.’
But the turnkey was still obdurate
and with a curse upon his lips, and
repeating his threat to put Eggles¬
ton in irons he departed.
Eggleston only increased his cries,
Terms-$1.00 per annum
and though he kept them up till late,
the turnkey turned a deaf year to
them, and came no more to his cell
that night.
At last in the “wee sma’ hours
ayont the twal” Eggleston’s cries
ceased and the turnkey soliloquized,
“Thank God that wild drunken fool
has fallen asleep at last and we will
have some peace till morning.”
Night passed away and as the rosy
blush of morn was tinging the east¬
ern horizon, the skylark carrolling
his morning song to the king of day,
the linnets and wrens chirping gaily
as they flitted in and out, and the
loving pigeons billing and cooing
their tales of innocent love in the
eaves of the sombre old prison, sev¬
eral men with iron buckets and tin
pails of coarse bread and coarser
soup, headed by the heartless turn¬
key, passed up the long, dark corri¬
dor to feed the prisoners, as if they
were feeding animals in the caged
vans of a menagerie. They liad
passed a number of cells giving each
man a cup of the course soup and
piece of bread, when the stolid turn¬
key partially soliloquizing said:
“Here is the cell of that wild,
drunken kid that yelled so last night
he kept everybody awake; be easy
and put bis grub in quietly and come
out, I don’t want him to wake till
nine o’clock when the Reorder will
open court and call his case along
with the rest and I guess he’ll keep
quiet then.”
While uttering these words lie
softly slipped the key in the lock
and quietly threw open the door,
when suddenly, as if struck by light¬
ning, the turnkey and bis compan.
ions staggered back against the op¬
posite wall of the corridor as white
as ghosts with fright, for from a
slight projecting ledge above the
narrow iron grated slit of a window
in the stone wall bung the lifeless
body of Eggleston, stark stiff and
cold in death. Yes, lie was indeed
silent, not only now hut for all time
or until the resurrection morn, when
the trump shall call the dead back
to life to aeconnt for vvliat t hey have
done and what has been done to aud
for them in this life.
Is it necessary to depict the sor¬
row, the genuine sorrow and remorse
of even that stolid and unfeeling
turnkey, as he saw the palid ai d ca¬
daverous form of Eggleston hanging
from that projection over tho win¬
dow by a rope improvised for the
purpose from the coarse blanket torn
into strips and twisted by Eggles
ton’s now stiff, cold fingers into a
rope of sufficient quality to strangle
him or break his neck, as he jumped
from his mean, low cot after having
fastened one end around his neck
and the other one around the cor¬
nice of the window over the head of
his cot, or to describe sufferings so
undescribably horrible as to cause a
man ir. such a bunglixg and painful
manner to take his own life? Or
shall we witness the grief of th.at
fair girl, whose every heart and soul
were bound up in the man to whom
she had so freely and willingly given
her heart and upon whom she was
so soon to bestow her hand.
No, indeed; let us not chide nor
judge harshly, but rather throw the
mantle of sympathy around the frail¬
ties, aud draw the veil of charity
over the faults and peccadillos of
P oor crrill 2 human nature.—‘Ex

For the Same Eiseas 9 ,’.’
The Cherokee ns ay 8 that a certain
voting Storm Lake physicien was a
few days ago called to attend a lady
who was ill. After feeling the pulse
and making a diagnosis the flip doc¬
tor prescribed. But the woman was
nor'satisfied, and said:
“Doctor, I don’t believe you quite
understand tho nature of my case.”
“Oh, yes,” replied the young phy¬
sician, “there is a young man down
town whom I am treating for the
same disease.”
Two weeks later there was au in¬
crease in the lady’s family. We have
not heard how the young man is get¬
ting along.
How Eachel came to Marry Jacob
Boston Record.
This story comes from an old sea¬
board town in Maine:
Jacob loved Rachel, butj Rachal
w ouldn’t have him. Jacob labored
on, pressing his suit at intervals, and
after each rebuff telling her be was
bound to win her yet, and convince
every one she cared for him as much
as he believed in his heart she did.
“Very well,” cried the indignant
Rachel, with a toss of her bead—
“keep right on till you make lolks
believe that, and when you do I’ll
marry you!”
Jacob did persevere, but with small
success, and at last began to lose
courage. About this time another
suitor of Rachel’s arrived home from
sea, bringing with him. ainohg-other
oxoctics, a par'-ot of gorgeous hue
which he presented to Rachel, who
forthwith had the bird suspended
from the sitting room window,
whence she looked out afternoons
when her work was done. For a day
or two after his elevation to this
dignity the parrot remained marvelt
ously quiet only casting an eye about
as if taking in his new situation.—■
On the third morning, however, no
sooner did the neighbors begin’ to
stir than he electrified each passer
by with the announcement:
“Rachel’s gone on Jacob; no
chance f or John!”
Of couise the more laughter this
raised the more vociferously the bird
proclaimed the news. It spread like
wildfire, and the parrot’s audience
steadily increased. Rachel, mean¬
while, went into hysterics, hut how
ever much this incommoded the fam¬
ily it made no impression on the
parrot, who, although threatened
and beaten and relegated to dark¬
ness, waxed more and more furious
with desire to spread her knowledge.
Jacob kept out of the way a while,
but there was no Jack of couriers to
bring him information of the other
fellow’s discomglure and the parrot’s
heroic defence of his cause. At last
Raehel’sfathcr appeared, wearing on
his weather-beaten face an odd mix¬
ture of frown and grin.
“Look a-here,” he said, “between
that bird’s screechin, an’ folks a
cacklin’, that gal’s a’most out o’her
head. Theie’s nothin’ for you to do
but go over there and try to fix up
things'as well as ye can. I guess
most likely sha’ll sop ye—I do no,
folks can’t always tell.” ,
The upshot was Rachel married
Jacob, who sticks toitthat .it was
the penetretrative wisdom of his ri¬
val’s parrot that did the business, and
denies to this day all knowledge of
the way the parrot came by his
speech.

Outside the White House.
Other weddings have occurred at
the White House, eight in all, t ut
never befoio to-day has the hightet
dignitary in the land bowed his head
within its hiscorie walls to receive
the blessing of the church on his un?
ion in the holy bonds of matrimony.
From the very dawn of the wedding
day the city seemed alive to the ap¬
proaching event. Little knots of id¬
lers talked it over on sidewalks in
front of the hotels. Sedate matrons
gossiped as they passed along the
streets and bevies of laughing girls
chatted and speculated about the
coming momentous ceremony, • If
there be truth in the anoient adage,
a happy bride will reign in the
White House, for though the day
opened a gray and cheerless sky,
with shadows resting on the earth,
yet as it grew older the elements
seemed to rolent, and little hy little
the sun forced his rays through the
unwilling cluds until his broad beams
fell in generous abundance on the
soft green sward of the trim park
encompassing the White Ilouse,
brainging out in high relief the sim¬
ple yet stately white columns of the
time-honored home of Presidents,
crys-tallizing in prismatio hues the
spat klieg spray of the fountains and
cresting with gold the folago of tb#
grand o)d trees,
