Appreciated “Clarissa.”
Edward Young, author of "Night
Thoughts,” wrote in 1749 to the Duch-
ess of Portland a letter containing an
. enthusiastic reference to Richardson’s
“Clarissa,” and this letter has just
been published among the Longleat
MSS. “Has your grace read his 'Clar-
issa'?” says Young. "What a beauti-
ful brat of the brain Is there! 1 wish
i your grace would stand godmother

vine. That romance will probably do I
more good than a body of Divinity. I
If all printers could turn such au-

Why Youngster Could Net Produce
"Pursuit of Happinsss.”
This story is told of a Washington
■ tchool principal who was trying to
make clear to his class the fundamen-
' »al doctrines of the declaration of in- i
i dependence;
"Now, hoys,” he aid. I will give
• you each three ordinary buttons.
1 Here they are. You must think of the
j first one as representing life, of the
i second one as representing Liberty,
and the third one as representing the
I pursuit of happiness. Next Sunday I
will aak you each to produce the three
j buttons and tell me what they re pro-
| sect.”
The following Sunday, in accord-
ance with his plan, the teacher Inter-
rogated his class on the subject of
the buttons.
"Now, Johnnie,” he said tn tha
youngest member, "produce your
three buttons and tell me what they
stand for.” Whereupon the youngster
began to weep.
"1 ain’t got ’em ell,” he sobbed,
holding out two of the buttons.
"Here’s life an’ here's liberty, but
raommer sewed the pursuit o’ happi-
ness on my pants."—Harper’s Weekly.

Managing a Husband.
II. is easy enough to win a husband
writes the '‘ditor of the Winsboro1
Wide-Awahe. Most any attractive
little dumpling with a bright eye and
coaxing voice can gather in a noble
husband, but it is difficult to retain
him. Noble husbands are thickerj
than hairs on a dog, but the grand ;
difficulty is to draw out their nobil- .
ity and secure it at home. If the
wife only understands her busi o ss!
sh • can introduce the soothing rack-
et in her field of operations and walk
away with the whole business. Most
men like to be loved and soothed.
There is something in a man's gr--at,
rough, earnest nature that can be1
won far quicker by gentleness and; o
[»l ?a than by the logic of the broom 1.
i-andle and a bilious course of reas- ■;
cning w ith milk and bread diet, j { bran-.i^g c
We have seen a girl, who under-j
stood her business, take a reformed;
road agent by the nose, so to speak,'
ar d lead him through life in such a :
way that he would not know but that
!:» was boss of the ranch ; so perfect
wr» the delusion that when she ask-
ed him to bring in a scuttie of coal,
or get up in his night shirt and kill
a burglar, that he knew was nothing
but a bob-tailed cow four blocks
away, he always went; and he felt as
though he counted it a mark of spec-
ial favor that a poor, unworthy worm
o dust like like him. should be sought
out and delegated to go and chase a
lame cow acoss nine vacant lots with
aa old barrel stave, clothed in noth-
ing but a little brie' authority and
knit undershirt. We cannot exactly
describe the magic power of a devo-
lv'd wife over her husband and we do
not Intend to frry. But it is an un-
seen motive, a nameless leverage
that makes a man get up in the dead
hour of night and set the pancake
Fatter near the parlor stove.
A man need not think thatbecasse
he gets up ami looks for burglars in
the night, and is otherwise, obedhnt
ip is simply because he has backbone.

band of a woman of whom he ought
tp be proud.

In the Bernese Alps the limit of

they supi^oeed had strayed away from

door next* morn ing to sc“ a monster
alligator upon the doorstep, where
he disgorged the child alive and ♦hen
died himuelf. The ad cost but 25
