inusi iryin period ov my life.
Me) und feclicll and Fernando Wood,
lo whom the mallet' uvroiti w uz referred
wuz opposed to lliu trip ullogelliel. We

should make no alloosions to politicks
that the trip sliood be for the purpus uv
visilin the exposislien at Louisville and
Cincinnati, and that sieh remarks as lie

or mccliniiikal. Tliis lloms objected lo,
lid w uz sure that the mere sliowin his
self lo the populis wood do good, but lie
knowed that lo speck to eru ez only lie
cood spet k lo em, wuz lo letch em. For

ous liis pec kin is, aud we wuz certain
that it woiildenl do. Finally, Feruamly
hit it. "Feunsylvaiiia," sed he, " is the
only Slate which he will pass thro which
we need feel concerned about. ' Ohio the
Abolishnists will carry anyhow, aud his
specking thro thai Slate may perhaps
lose us a Congressman or two, but the
only effect will be be w ill increase their
majority. In Kentucky his specking
will redoose our majority, but lie caul do
it enuff to lose us the State. Make bim

This wuz agripd to, and Horrid com

We slopped at every station on the

account uv how the South had conceded
everything at the close uv the war ev
erything fur the dako uv peace Kernel
MePeller fell ou the grate philosopher's
neck and wept.
"How troo," said the kernel between
Lis spasms uv leers. "I never realiz-.-d
afore how conciliatory I wuz. Hut now
I see It all. How well do I remernbel

Horace Greeley. Only a Cup of Coffee.
Fields and fields sparkled like snow
in the sun. Away in the distance rose
tho mountains, bare and brown, theii
lops lost in the clouds. Close by the
railroad track stood thu rough station
buildings and two or three udobo huts,
where relresluneuls were offered lo trav
elers. The express had thundered past
an hour before, aud now the third class
came leisurely up and stopped. Oui
stepped the passengers, intent upon
breakfast. One family father, mother
aud children, had brought their provis
ions wilh them, and made their lea aud
coffee as they w auled it, on the stove iu
ihe car. IJtU most, of the company were
men and did not know much about help
ing themselves. One slender lad, Harry
Mini urn, sal iu his seat at the other end
of the car until all around him had gone
jut; then taking out bis purse he care
fully counted its seamy contents. Il had
taken weeks of savings lo gel enough lo
buy the ticket for the East, and his mar
gin was small when thai was done.
"Dread aud butter this morning," lie
said, whistling, as he joined the throng
outside, A tew steps off he saw a very
modest little shan y, which seemed to
have nobody near it.
"Thai's ihe place for my money,"
thought Harry. Entering, a delighilul
oder ot coll'ee greeled him. How good
it was! Just the smell seemed lo warm
bim, and bis hand in bis pocket felt the
few "bits" longingly. Alas! be kjiew
just how fur they would go, and how
many meals they would buy, and Harry
had learned that it is safe never to spend
your last penny, aud honorable lo save
and scrimp, and even appear mean, so
that you do not go iu debt. Tho jolly
young fellows who told stories aud sang
songs iu the can would have lent bim
money, careless whether it wu ever

IE

'egged as borrowed.
An old woman wan sitting knitting
by the stove. She gave the lad a chair,
and asked him what be would have.
Two dlices of broad and butter, mad
am, if you please."
'Nothing else ?'
That's all," said Harry. The great
round of corned beef, and ll.e cold mut
ton were not for him.
"Look hur.gry, poor boy !'' daid the
woman to herself. ".Somewhere near
the size of my Jim."
She cut two geiierou slices from her

say :
"Well, mother, if you wou't take anything

It rumpled Ihe enp border a litile, but it did
the old lady good, and the hands from the
road, coming in a moment alter, found her
more chipper mid cheery than usual.
The fields are there yet, glittering w ilh al
kali ; the brown adobe huts, the unpaiuted

bread and coffee lor the railway folks, and
waits for Jim lo come in some day. llarry,
westward bound again, with business before
him, mid fumls in his pocket, is meaning to
slop at that station lo take a love-token to the
good old heart that gave him in his need what

Patience With Little Ones.
I)e patient with little ones. Let neith
er their slow understanding nor their
occasional pertness offend you, or pro
voke the sh.irp reproof. Kemember the
world is new to them, and they have no
slight tasks to grasp with their unripen
ed intellects, the mass of facts and
l nubs that crowd upon their attention.
You are grown to maturity aud strength
through years of experience, and it ill
becomes you to fret at the little child
I hat fails to keep pace with your
thought. Teach hiin patiently as God
leaches you, ''line upon line, precept up
on precept ; here a little, there a lttlle."
Cheer him on in this conflict with' mind ;
in after years his ripe, rich thought shall
rise up and call you blessed. Hide pa
tieiitly the endless questioning of your
children. Do not roughly crush the
springing spirit of free inquiry wilh an
impatient word or frown, nor attempt,
ou the contrary, a long and instructive
reply to every slight and casual question.
Seek, rather, to deepen their curiosity,
convert, if possible, the careless question
into a profound and earnest inquiry. Let
your reply send the little questioner
foi l li, not so much proud of what he has
learned, as anxious lo know more. Hap
py you, it in giving your child the frag
ment of truth he asks for, you can whet
his curiosity wilh a glimpse ot the moun
tain of truth lying beyond ; so you will
send forth a philosopher, aud not a silly
pedant, into I lie world. li-iv patiently
the childish humors of the little- ones.
They are but the untutored pleadings of
ihe young spirit for care and cultivation.
Iri'ilaled into strength aud hardened iu
to habits, they will haunt ihe whole of
life like fiends in despair, and make your
Utile ones curse the day ihey were born ;
but corrected kindly and patiently, they
become the elements ot happiness and
usefulness. Passions are but tires that
either scorch us with their uncontrolled,
fury, or may yield us a genial and need
ful warmth. Hless your little ones wilh
a patient care of their childhood, and
ihey will certainly consecrate the glory
and grace of their manhood to your ser
vice. Sow iu llieir hearts the seed ot a
perennial blessedness ; its ripened fruit
will afford you a perpetual joy.

Starting in Married Life.
I will tell you a story of my own expe
rience in starling in the world. When I
was very young and very poor, I mar
ried a very poor young man ; ho worked
out by the day or month, ou the farms,
and in order that the stormy days should
not consume ihe income, ot the fair ones,
something must be done. What should
il be? He had no trade for indoor labor,
except making shingles. Then he had
no shop, aud it would cost so much to
buy lumber and build one. Hitherto ho
had spent bis stormy days like hundreds
ot other young men in the country, loung
ing about public placed, or at some neigh
bor's. He had formed the habit aud
liked it right well.
"Now," said I, "James if wo ever get
anything ahead, the winter must not con
sume, what the summer yields."
"True," said he, ' but what can I do?"
I hesitated a moment, looked at tho
neatly scoured floor of our lililo log cab
in and snow white recess and window
curtains, which, by the way, were pieced
out from worn-out garments.
44 Get neighbor Wilson to bring you
some timber, get it sawed, and make the
shingles for half."
"Where," said he, " here in the house?"
" Yes, here in the house," said I. '
Year after year passed. Iu our kitoh
eu barrels were hooped, chairs were bot
tomed, bailey forks were made and sold,
and I used to pack the shingles. Aud
I y mm meant at thalr Klla at Ashtabula Ilirbor.
what ol it if I did help him aaw the
small timber ? All this was done in bad
weather, and the children were growing
up enjoying the liberty of making all the
litter desirable, whenever they were re
leased from tiieir hours of study. No
one on ear. h loves neatneas better thau
I ; but I learned, in time, to sacrifico
neatness in a measure, to prosperity and
happiness.
Husband is very nervous and irritable
by nature, and it will not do in all cases
to try to teach old dogs new tricks, so
I have picked up after him, bootd, hats
and clothing, washed nnd combed him
almodt every Sunday morning, and, as to
the boys, they have made all sorts of
farming implements in iho houso when
ihey could not play out of doors ; and
whatever innocent amusement they wish
ed to engage iu aside ftotn mental im
provement, they have done. I make ma
ny efforts lo teach the boys order -about
the house, but never fairly succeed.
Now the redtilt of my course: We
have a farm of mote than aiundred acres
well stocked; there nre several rooms in
o.tr house, lull shitiglt-d aie not made in
any of tin in. sometimes when husband
brings in a barrel to hoop for our own
use, 1 tell him to be careful not to scratch
thy paint off the floor. Husband is a
steady, hard working man, and when
u;i.'lii comes, he is at home; the boys, or
rather young men, are honest, ambitious,
home-loving boys. No smoking cigars,
or takinci a glad, or lounging about
with ihim. StudioU", noble, good aud
true lliev are.
Starting in Married Life. Tick-Lish Telegraph.
Two young men, telegraph operators,
boarding at one of our leading third
class hotels, find great amusement in car
iving on conversation with each other at
ihe table by ticking on their plates, with
lork, knife or spoon. A combination of
sounds or licks constitutes tl.e telegraph
ic alphabet, & persons familiar with ihese
sounds can converse thereby as intelli-
gently as wilh spoken words. A short
tine since, while these fun-loving youtha
were seated at breakfast, a stout built
young man entered the dining room w ith
a handsome girl on his arm, w hose blush
ing countenance told her to be a bride.
The couple had, iu fact, been married
hut a day or two previous, and had come
to San Francisco from their home in
Oakland, or Mud Springs, or some other
rural village, for ihe purpose of spending
the honeymoon. The telegraphic tickers
commenced as soon as the husband and
wife had seated themselves.
No. 1 opened the discourse as follows r
'"What a lovely pigeon this is alon"'
side ot me ain't she V"
No. 2 "Perfectly charming looks as
if butler would not melt iu her mouth.
Just niarried,gues? Don't you think so3r"
No. 1. "i ts, I should judge she was.
What luscious lips she's eol! If that
country bumpkin beside her was out ot
the road, 1 d g;e her a huar and a kiss
just for luck."
.No. 2. "Suppose you try it, anyhow.
Give her a little uudge under the table
with your knee."
There is no telling to what extent the
impudent rascals might, have gone, but
for an amazing and entirely uuforeseeu
event. The bridegroom's face had flush
ed, and a dark scowl was on his brow
during Iho tirocrress of the ticking con
versation ; but the operators were loo
much occupied with each other to pay
any attention to him. Tlie reader may
form sonio idea of the young men's con
sternation w hen the partner of the lady
picked up his knife and ticked off the
following terse but vigorous message
"This lady is mv wife, and as soon aa
she gets through w ith l.er breakfast. I
propose to wring both your necks, you
insolent whelps."
1 he bridegroom was a telegraph op
erator, and "knew how it was hiuisell."
Women in Hotels.
The woman who linds herself housed
and clothed and petted and furnished
w ith money for artificial as well as real
wants, without the Idling of a finger, or
the burden ot a care, mid without the
culture of head or heart that leads her
to seek tor the higher satisfactions ot
womanhood, becomes in the most natur
al way dwarfed and degraded. The
simple truth is that unless women have
a routine ot dulv that diverts their
thoughts from themselves, and gives
liiem something else to think ot besides
dress and the exhibition of it, they de
generate. The only cure for this that
we know of is universal housekeeping.
There is no man who can affji'd to pay
a fair price for board who cannot afford
to keep bouse ; and housekeeping though
it be never so humble, is tho most natur
al and healthiest i.fiicc to which woman
is ever called, 'fit ore is no one thing
that would do so much to elevate the
type of New York womanhood as a
iinivers.il secession from boarding house
aud hotel life, aud a universal entrance
upon separate homes. Sucn a step would
increase the stock of happiness, improve)
health ot body and health of uiiini, aud
raise at once the standard of morals and
man uers.
The devil always finds work for idle
bauds to do, w hether the hands belong
lo men or women ; but American men,
are not apt lo be idle. They are absorb
ed in work early ami late, and leave,
llieir idle wives cooped up in their rooms'
that cost them no care, to get rid ot the
lingering time as they can. Is it kind
to do this, or is it cruel t If it is kind in
its motives it is cruel in its results. The
whole system ot hoarding: house and ho
tel li'e in vicious. To live in public, to
be ou dress parade every day, to be al
ways part aud parcel ot a gossiping
multitude, to live aimlessly, year after
year, wilh thoughts concentrated upon
ouo's peron and one's selfish delights, to
be perpetually without a routine of
healthy duty, is to take the broadest and
