* Almost everybody experiences,
more or less often, the difficulty of
recalling some familiar name, par
:cularly,, says the Philadelphia
decord, if it lias been out of mind a
while, and more particularly if ex
citing events have intervened; and we
venture to say that almost everybody
experiencing this difficulty, perhaps
after momentarily attacking it with
out effect, has dismissed it as insur
mountable, or as not worth the trou
ble of resolutely trying to overcome
it. This we think unwise. Servants
whose unfaithfulness is passed by be
come demoralized; and in this respect
memory is like other servants. Put
up with her shortcomings and she will
grow untrustworthy, if not worthless.
Hold her firmly to her work and she
will do it with increasing vigor and
fidelity. Without discipline, mem

The writer of this article, if the
citation may he pardoned, had occasion
the other day to think of the sub
stance emery, with the use and appli
cation and appearance of which ho
was familiar, but which had been out
of his mind for a year or more, and his
memory refused to bring the name
hack. After making the ordinary
appeals, in vain, he decided to try the
effect of discipline. Accordingly, so
to speak, he peremptorily ordered his
memory t« go for the name, and not
to return without it. But the path
by which she used to bring it was
closed—tilled up by disuse, and
grown over with later impressions.
Nothing appeared to indicate where
it had begun, what direction it took,
whore it ended; no landmark, no foot
print, no sign of any description.
Finally, determining, as well as he
could the point of entrance and the
point of issue, and thus getting vague
ly the bearings of the obliterated pas
sage, he set memory to groping, and
stood over her as she did it. So driv
en, she fixed attention on the group
of experiences connected with his use
of the substance, thrust out on every
_side the feelers of association, tracked

THE STOLEN BRIDE.
Joke Perpetrated on a Wedding Party
Over a Century Ago.
“Used as a tavern in revolutionary
days, and the scene of the oft-told
frolic of ‘The Stolen Bride’ in 1771,
an old wooden building located high
o%thc hills above the small village
of Iforthfield, Conn., is being re
duced to kindling wood,” says the
New York World. The building,
which was one of the oldest land
marks in the state, was erected 135
years ago to serve the public on the
stage route between Hartford and
Litchfield.
Later it was a residence, and still
laker the Episcopal manse of North
field.
The tavern acquired a wide notor
iety in the fall of 1771, when the
bride of Maj. Moses Seymour, an an
cestor of Gov. Horatio Seymour, of
N ew York, and J ufige Origen S. Sey
mour, chief justice of the supreme
court of Connecticut, was brought
there on horseback and was secreted
within the walls for hours.
i 1 1 (• - 1 IT , • AT*

Marsh, the accomplished daughter of
Col. and Mrs. Ebenezer Marsh, had
been pronounced the bride of Maj.
Seymour, at the home of her parents
in Litchfield. Toward twilight there
was a rap at the door of the Marsh
house, to which the bride responded.
As she did so a man, whose face,
except the eyes, was covered with a
handkerchief, seized her, mounted
with his fair burden a horse standing
in front of the house, and rode away.
“You will find us at the tavern,”
cried the kidnaper, as he galloped out
of sight with the bride.
Horses were immediately hitched,
and in a few moments the anxious
bridegroom, the bride’s parents, and
the small party *»f guests were in pur
suit.
A six-mile drive brought them to
the tavern, which was in total dark
ness. As the bridegroom pulled the
doorbell, lights inside revealed the
stolen bride amidst a gathering of
friends. The bridal, couple were
then reunited and asked to sit down
to a bountiful collation, secretly ar
ranged between the kidnapers and
I the hotel proprietor.
To this day the mothers of North
field relate to their children the
story of “The Stolen Bride.” #
PLAYING WITH MATCHES.
Dangerous Thing to Permit Children to
Do—Many Fires Result.
“Children playing with matches
cause many fires,” said a member of
the fire department a few days ago
after returning from a fire that had
been caused in the manner stated, to
a Washington Star reporter. “There
is no reason for such fires," the fire
man added. “It seems that people
ought to keep matches out of the
reach of children, and it would be a
very easy matter to do so. Match
safes could he hung on nails or pegs
driven so high above the floor that
children could not reach them even if
they stood upon chairs. By taking
a little precaution in the matter many
disastrous fires would be prevented
and some fatalities avoided.
“Only a few days ago,” the fire
man said, “a child was seriously
burned while playing with matches
and only the early discovery of the
flames prevented what might have
proved a serious conflagration. Many
people are entirely too careless in this
matter and by the exercise of ordi
nary care m uch serious damage would
be avoided.
“If people would only take this
matter seriously and act accordingly
they would find at the end of the year
that there will be a good showing
made so far as tho fire fatalities aro
concerned.
A Touching Obituary.
The following brief but touching
eulogy was recently pronounced by
a sergeant over the tomb of a soldier
in the cemetery at La I layer

his boots, which rarely reuired mend
