. . , A WIFE..
The wife sat thoughtfully turning over :
A book inscribed with the school-girl's name;
A tear one tear fell hot on the cover,
She quickly closed when her husband came.
He came, and went away--it was nothing .
; Witk cold, calm words upon either ide; -
But, just as the sound of the room door shutting,
A dreadful door in her soul stood wide.
Love, she had read of it in sweet romances
. , Love that could sorrow, but never fail,
Built her own palace of noble fancies, . .
All the wide world a fairy tale.
Bleak and bitter, and utterly doleful,
Spreads to the woman her map of life; t
Hour after hour she looks in her soul, full
:0f deep dismay and turbulent strife.
Face in both hands' she knelt on the" carpet;
The black cloud loosened, the storm rain fell;
Oh! life has so much to wither and warp it

A Gecd Peed inlSeason.
BY VIRGINIA F. TOWXSEND.
'"Get away' with yon! you dirty old
beggar bey. I'd like to know what right
you had. to look over the fence at our
flowers?'? The speaker was but a little
nioie than eleven years old, and though
people sometimes called it handsome, his
face looked very harsh and disagreeable
just then, "
He stood, in a beautiful garden just
in the suburbs of the city; it was June
time and the tulips were opening them
selves t the sunshine. Oh! it was a
great joy to look at them as they bowed
gracefully to the light, with their necks
of crimson, yellow and carnation. The
beds flanked either side of the path that
curved around a smaller arbor, where
the young grape clusters that lay hidden
among the leaves wrote a . beautiful
prophecy for the autumn. -'.
A white paling ran in front of the gar
den, and over this the little beggar boy,
so rudely addressed, was leaning. .He
was very lean, very dirty and very , rag
ged, I am afraid little children, you
would have turned away in disgust from
so repulsive a spectacle, and yet God and
the angcis loved him!,. He was looking
with all his soul in his eyes on the beau
tiful blossoms, as they swayed to and fro
in the summer wind, and his heart
softened while he leaned on his arm ou
the fence railing, and forgot everything
in that long absorbed gaze! Ah! it was
seldom the beggar boy saw anything that
was either very good or very beautiful,
and it was sad his dream should have
such a wakening up.
Ihe blood rushed up to his fare, and
a glance full of evil and defiance flushed
nto his eyes. -But before the boy could
retort, a little girl sprang out from the
arbor, aud looked eargerly from one child
to the other, bhe was ; very fair, with
soft hazel eyes, over which dropt long
shining lashes. Rich curls huhs over
her almost bare, white shoulders, and
her lips wore the color of the crimson
tulip blossoms. :
"How could you speak so cross to the
boy, Ilinton?" she asked, with a tone of
sad reproach, quivering through the
sweetness of her voice. "I'm sure it
doesn't do us any harm to have him look
at the flowers if he likes."
Well, Helen," urged the brother,
slightly modified and ashamed, "I don't
ike to have begpars looking over the
fence. It looks so low." :
"Now, that's a notion of yours, Hin-
ton. lm sure if the flowers could do
anybody any good, we ought to be glad.
Little boy said the child turning to
the boy, and addressed him as court
eously as though he .had been a prince
"1 11 pick you some of the tulips if
jfuu ii v ail; a iiiuiuciit. .
-u "
'Helen, 1 do believe you re the fun
niest girl that ever lived!" ejaculated
the child's brother, as he sauntered away,
and with a low whistle turned down the
path, feeling very uncomfortable for
her conduct was a stronger reproof to
him than words could have been.
Helen plucked one of each specimen
of the tulips, and there was a great va
riety of these, and gave them to the
child. His face brightened aa he re
ceived them and thanked her.
Oh! the little girl had droped a "pearl of
great price into the black turbid bil
lows of the boy s hie, and after years
would bring it up, beautiful and fair
again. .
Twelve years had passed. The hazel-
eyed girl had grown into a tall, grace
ful woman. One bright June afternoon
she walked with her husband through
the garden, for she was on a visit to her
parents. The place was very little
changed, and the tulips had opened
their lips of crimson and gold to the
sunshine, just as they had twelve years
Detore. Suddenly they observed a
young man in a workman's blue overalls,
leaning over the fence, his eyes wander
ing from the flowers to herself. He had
a frank, pleasant countenance, and there
was something in his manner that inter
ested the gentleman and lady.
"L.00K nere, Hidward," she "said, 1 11
pluck some of the flowers. It always
does me good to see the people admiring
them," and then releasing her husband's
arm, she approached the pailing, saying
and : the smile around her lina was
very like the child one "are you fond
of flowers, sir? It will give me great
pleasure to gather you some."
"Twelve years ago this very month"
he said, in deep tones, tremulous with
feeling, "I stood leaning on this railing,
a ragged little beggar boy, and you asked
me the same question. . Twelve years
ago you placed the bright flowers in my
nana and they made me a new boy
aye, they made a man of me, too. Your
face has been a light, Ma'am, all along
the dark hours of my life, and this day
the little beggar boy can stand on the
old place and say. though he's humble
and a hard working man

dew on the shining lashes of the lids, as
she turned to her husband who had
joined her; and listened in absorbed as
tonishment to the workman's word "God,"
she said, "put it into my child heart to
do that deed of kindness, and see how
very great is the reward he has given
me." ! ' ' - !
And the setting sun poured a flood of
richjpurple light over the group that
stood there over ; the workman in his
brae overalls, over the lady with her
golden hair, and over the proud looking
gentleman by her side. Although it
was a picture for a painter, the angels
who looked down on it from Heaven saw
something more than a picture there.
f
Tonng Man, You're Wanted.
A.-woman wants you Don't forget
her,. Don't wait to be rich. If you do,
remember that, ten to one, you are not
fit to get married. Marry while you
are young and struggle up together.
Exchange.
But mark, young man! The woman
does not want you if she has to diviuo
her affections with a cigar, fancy dbg,
fast horse, or a whisky jug. Neither
does she want you simply because you
are "a nice, young man;" the definition
of which, now-a-days, is too apt to be an
animal that sports an immense . hirsute
appendage, a lot of jewelry, kid gloves,
a fashionable cut coat, a gold headed
cane, a stove pipe hat on an empty head,
drives a fast nag, drinks like a fish, and
swears like a trooper, and is given to
all manner of licentiousness. She wants
you if you have learned to regulate your
appetites and passions; in fact, she wants
you if you are made in the image of
God, not in the likeness of a beast. If
you arc strong in good purpose, firm in
resistance to evil, pure in thought and ac
tion as you require her to be, and with
out which inward and outward purity
neither ot you are fitted for husband or
wife. If you love virtue and abhor vice
if you are gentlemanly, forbearing and
kind ; not loud talking, exacting, and
brutal--thenj young man, that woman
wants you ; that fair, modest, cheerful,
bright-looking, !frank-spoken woman
we mean one who nils your ideal ot

you! JVIaTry ner when you like, whether
you are rich or pooi ; we will trust you

A Thought for Youag Ilea,
More may be learned by devoting a
few moments daily to reading than, is
commonly supposed. l?ive pages may
be read. in fifteen minutes, at which rate
one may peruse twenty-six volumes, of
two thousand pages each in a year. You
say you have none to guide you. The
best .scholars and men of science will, tell
you by far the most .valuable part of
their education is that which thsy have
given themselves - :r ' '
Volumes have been filled with the
biography of self-taught men. Think
of Franklin, the printer; of. Linne, the
shoemaker; John Hunter, the cabinet-1
maker; Herschel, the musician; Donald,
the weaver; lurner, the printer; and
Burrit, the blacksmith.
Love learning, and you will be learned.
Where there is a will there will be a way.
Begin at once; take time by the fore
lock, and remember that it is only the
first step that costs, and having begun,
resolve to learn something every day.
Strike the blow,-and avoid the weakness
of those who spend half of their life in
thinking what they shall do next.
Always have a volume near you which
you may catch up at such odd minutes
as are your own. It is incredible, until
trial has been made, how much real
knowledge may be acquired in these
broken fragments of time, which are
like the dust of gold and diamonds.
A Man whose Heart Can be Seen.
Vienna has lately been visited by a
phenomenon in human nature. There
is a mau who has his heart laid bare for
the inspection of his fellow-men. The
breast-bone and ribs, owing to a strange
malformation, not arching over, as usual,
the central organ of the body, the thin
covering of the skin allows the heart to
be easily discerned in its contiguous
stages of action. So slight is the text
ure of the skin that the ebb and flow
of the blood, and. the .regular contrac
tion of the two chambers, are palpable
to the sense both of sight and touch.
Herr Eugene Grouz, from Hamburg,
for this is the name of the individual,
has increased the experimental signifi
cance of his own corpus by the applica
tion to it of an electric apparatus, show
ing the time taken up in the several ac
tions of the member in question. Each
time the heart pumps up the life fluid a
bell rings. This lusns naturae has been
the object of great curiosity, not only to
the members of the medical profession,
but to the public in general. He has
been ' paraded in all the hospitals and
eolleges.
How to Retain a Good Face.
A correspondent of the Home Journal
has some good ideas on the importance
of mental activity in retaining a good
face. He says:
We were speaking of handsome men
the other evening, and I was wondering
why K. had so lost the beauty for which
five years ago he was so famous. "Oh,
it's because he never did anything," said
B.; "he never worked, thought, or suf
fered. You must have the mind chisel
ing away at the features if you want
handsome middle-aged men." Since
hearing that remark I have been on the
watch to see whether it is generally
true, and it is. A handsome man who
does nothing but eat and drink grows
flabby, and the fine lines of his features
are lost; but the hard thinker has an
admirable sculptor at work, keeping his
fine lines in repair, and constantly going
over his tace to improve the original de
sign.
B. Whoever undertakes to put i
joke on the razor strop man is sure to
get floored in the operation. Recently,
while selling his strops at Plymouth,
and expatiating the while on the evils
of rum-drinking, a tipsy fellow cried
out, "if drinking rum made me lie as
fast as you do selling your strops, I'd
quit it to-day." "Very good," replied
the strop seller, "the only diflerence be
tween your lying and mine is this my
strorjs enable me to lie in a good warm
I bed, while rum makes you lie in the

Bloody Tragedy at Grayville, 111.
At the edge of town, near the Eagle
Mills,, on the 20th ult., Mr. Isaac Wil
liams and his son Daniel J., residents
of Indiana, assaulted Mr. James Hahee of
Grayville within a few yards of hishouse,
and knocked him down once or twice
with a maul. Mr. Hahee, as he arose
from the ground, made a stroke at the
elder Williams with an ax which he had
in his hands, comph?tely severing his
right arm from his body. The son in
the mean time, using his clubon Hahee,
the latter turned and cut him nearly in
two, striking him on each side. The
father walked but a few yards," when he
fell and bled to death in a short time.
The son was removed to the residence
of his brotherl a half mile below the
scene of the horrible occurrence, where
he died the same night. The Indepen
dent, from which paper we gather these
particulars, states that an old grudge
existing between the parties brought
about the deplorable result recorded
above. A verdict of justifiable homi
cide was rendered by the jury at the in
quest. .' .
Bgk.A man who had never seen the
inside of a Court-house until he was in
troduced as a witness in a case pending
in one of our District Courts sitting last
fall in the Northern part of the State,
being sworn, took a position with his
back to the jury, and began telling his
story to the Judge. Judge R n,
in his bland andcourteons manner, said,
"Address yourself to the jury, sir."
The man made a short pause; but not
comprehending what was said to him,
continued his narrative. His Honor
was then more explicit, and said to him,
"Speak to the jury, sir the men sitting
behind you on the benches." The wit
ness then turned around, and making
an awkward bow, said, with great grav
ity of manner, "Good morning, gentle
men.
8&A balloonist states that he has
made the following discovery:
"I take a bar of brass, which, when
weighed on the earth's surface, actually
weighed 15 pounds. When I ascend
up three miles in the atmosphere and
weigh the Drass Dar, it actually weigns,
by a spring balance, only seven and a
half pounds. Five miles up, it only
weighs tlraee pounds and a quarter.
What is the cause of this? The want
of atmospheric pressure on it, and the
sun's attraction, which becomes more
apparreut the nearer we approach his
orbit."

A IiECTXJBE ON TONGUE TAMING.
BY MRS. GEORGE WASHINGTON WYLLIS.
The tongue is an unruly member.
Somehow or other, it seems to be held
responsible for most of the mischief done
in this world. And what is still more
unaccountable, women are almost in
variably involved therein, likewise!
Putting two and two together, isn't it
just possible that the female tongue is
under bad management? No use in tell
ing a woman to hold her tongue she
cannot do it any more than she can hold
a red hot coal. We ask no such impossi
bilities of you, ladies but we do think
you might reform in one or twe instan
ces. - -
Talk as much as you like,: but' let'it
be less about people, and more about
things. When you once get on the sub
ject of your dear neighbors, the tempta
tion to allude to their laults becomes ab
solutely irresistible. Therefore your
wiser plan is to let them entirely alone
if you can!
" Don't talk about your complaints and
ailments the dreadful toothache you
expect to have to-day. The moment
you feel these dangerous topics trem
bling on the tip of your tongue, shut
your mouth resolutely; and keep it shut,
until the grumbling fit is over! ;
Do not give utterance to the sharp,
sarcastic little observation that rises, al
most by instinct, to your lips, when
you see a lady go past with faded bonnet
ribbons and an old fashioned mantle.'
It won't add to the beauty and freshness
Of your own wardrobe, and it may leave
a very , unpleasant impression on other
people's minds. Perhaps, if you knew
why those dingy garments were worn,
your eyea might be the first to fill with
pitying tears. For we should be sorry
to believe that, with all your faults, you
were not a true woman, tender and lov
ing, and quick to compassion!
Don't, we beg and implore of you, get
into the abominable habit of sprinkling
your conversation . with French words
and phrases. Isn't the English language
broad, and comprehensive, and magnifi
cent enough to express all your ideas,
without being patched by French idioms?
What is the use of saying cerise when
you mean red, and groseille when you
mean crimson? What is the common
sense of being ennuyee instead of good
honest tired and talking about the beaux
yeux of people-whose charms are none
too ravishing" to be described in plain
English? If you are scanted in ideas,
they won't spread themselves over any
more ground in the French language
than in your mother-tongue if not, do
say your say in the glorious syllables
that Milton wrote in, and Shakespeare
found all sufficient! It is mere affecta
tion to talk bad French, or to borrow the
hackneyed technicalities of modistes and
dry goods clerks.
Be very careful how you ridicule the
rest of the world. Wit is a dangerous
weapon in conversation. The wisest
person that ever lived is not without an
absurd side to his character. Nothing
sharpens your neighbor's perception of
yofir own follies quicker than the dis
covery that you have been "making fun"
of his. People shrink, instinctively, from
a witty woman; for every satirical thing
she says, she may count a new enemy
made.
Do not pronounce judgment harshly
on any of your own sex.- Do not assert
that Mrs., Green haa a bad temper, be
cause you. happen to have heard ier
speak pretty shortly. . You would
scarcely deem it fair play were she to
form her opiniona of your disposition
from the lecture you gave your husband
when he tore up your housekeeping bills
to light his cigar, would you? Nobody
is perfect in tongue-management, and
Mrs. Green has as much right to take
refuge under this fact as yourself.
And, as a closing caution, never let
anything tempt you to forget that the
words once out of your mout h, nothing
can ever call them back!
We are not asking too much, are we?
Dear woman, we know there is any
amount of fortitude and firmness in your
frail, slender looking frame, if it can
onlv be brought out. Didn't one of
your charming sex put her arm through
the staples of a door, once? Didn't an
other stab herself, to convince her tim
orous husband that "it didn't hurt
much?" Can't make ua believe that the
same spirit is not iyou, yet ready to be
applied to the discipline of your tongues!

on the "Relief Committee" of the I. (. O.

be on the alert for a man passing under
the name of John Pincent and other
aliases, who is presenting a card purpor

All papers friendly to the Order will
confer a favor by giving the above cir
culation. One meets occasionally with men
and women who seem to have come into
the world to groan. Nothing pleases.
satisfies or consoles them. No moral
sunshine checkers with cheerful light
the abysmal gloom of their souls. Take
them into the fields ou a bright sunny
day, when the sweet breath of the tender
herbage makes the air a perfume; take
them to the brimming brooks, gushing
down the upland meadows, and dancing
in the eddies to their own jocund music;
bid them listen to the feathered philos
ophers hymning the golden day that is,
and taking no thought of the cloudy
morrow that may be; descant to them
with a pleasant voice, on the beauty and
harmony ot the fair world that God has
given to them to dwell in and up from
the depths of their unsympathizing
spirits come such a response as you
might expect irom a yawuing grave.
YOUSO WIDOWS.
Oh! yes, I dare say she would marry
again. Did you ever know a widow in
your life, especially a young one, that
didn't marry again, if she had a chance?
And they always get a chance too, it
seems. For my part, I don't see what
the men race after them so for? . ;;
The above remark set me to thinking.
Who is it about? Oh, as nice a little
body as you would want to know. A
quiet, modest, little woman, whose only
fault is in being a young vidoio. Poor
soul! she can't help that. People throw
it up to her, though, and cast it in her
teethwith humanity. To be sure, her.
husband has been dead these five years;
but what difference does that make?
She is not so hard-hearted as to expect
ever tor- be frappy again" irshe? What
does she want to get married, again- for
I'd like to know? ' One man U enough
for any woman. s
A man ia different. He can do as he
pleases. . The oftener he is married the
better. . Suppose she is only twenty
three or four? All the more reason why
she should be watched, and -peeked at,
and sniffed at by all the cross old. women
with grown up single daughters, and all
the young ladies who set up for them
selves. ' Sometimes the men, even, indulge ' in
&jUng&t youngwidows; butthey needn't
mind them, for such are always old
fogies or "disappointed lovers" who do
it. Hug the assurance to your bosoms,
ladies, that, aa a general thing, a young
widow ia an "object of interest" to the
men. . . . . . , . . ,. f;
And as it ia said of the ladies, that
the approbation and esteem of the other
sex is their chief desire, why, they need
not care for the malicious remarks or
the ill-natured of their own, knowiug
that every true woman's heart, whether
matron or maid, will sympathize with
you, if you are a "young widow."
A Rae of Two Hundred Miles. -j
The London Athenaeum gives an ac
countof a raee which took place in Eng
land on, the 23d of August, 1773. ' : At "
6 o'clock in the morning of that dsyf
JJlonday, two gentlemen appeared at the
corner of Portland street and Oxford
street. Both were admirably mounted
-one of them, Captain Muleaeter, ou
the mare of a friend, Captain Hay; the
other, Mr. Walker, rode his own horse.
They started thence on a race to York
200 niilea without changing steeds.
It was such a race as Arabs , ride,
proving the strength and enduraoe. an
well as the Speed of the horses. The
first ninety ' miles were accomplished
in six hours. The two gentlemen jock
eys passed the end of Doncaster . race
course nearly together, early on Tuesday
morning, amid such cheering aa wa5
never heard there again till the days of
Hollendaise Hambletonian. But Walker
was at the time sorely distressed, and
his steed altogether broke down wheu
between Doncaster and Tadcasler. The
Captain went ahead and reached Onse
bridge, York, in 40 hours 35 minutes
after his companion had started from-
Portland street thereby winning 400
guineas besides wagers. The winning
mare drank twelve bottles of wine on
her journey, and was well enough by'
Thursday morning to t'aks a gallop . ou

The Unburled Dead of Syria.
Our Syrian correspondent writes, that
more than ten thousand human bodies
still lie upon the sides of Mount Hermon,
in full view from the sea of Galilee and
the Mediteranean upon the Plains of
Sidon, the ancient Phoenicia, blacken
ing ia the sun, and their blood still cries
out to heaven for vengeance. . It is an
Oriental custom to leave the murdered"
dead nnburied until justice has been satis
fied, and although in Syria the effect of
the climate upon a dead body - requires
its burial whithin twenty-four hours of
the departure of the spirit from its
earthly tenement, these bodies have re
mained unburied and in a complete state
of preservation! In the court-yards of
the palaces, iu the barracks, snd wher
ever the Christian has fallen, there lica
that body now, still awaiting the ven
geance of Heaven upon the oppressors and
the slayers of the Christians of Mount
Lebanon. Boston Trav. . .. m
Short Honeymoon.
An incident concerning a gentleman
of wealth and good standing is making
considerable gossip in a neighboring
town. It seems that a widow lady with
children entered the bonds of wedlock
with him, and after a honeymoon of
four weeks, a note for $200 was pre
sented him for payment by one of his
wife's creditors. While the victimized,
husband was visiting another town for
the purpose of getting money irom: a'
bank with which to pay the debt, hi
new wife picked up her childrc aud

An Ancient People.
There is a remnant of a face of Indi
ans in New Mexico, who are entirely dif
ferent from any other tribe on the Con
tinent, and are supposed to be descended
from the ancient Toltecs, who preceded
the Aztecs. They are small, have a pe
culiar conformation of skull and face, are
of peaceful habits, and live by agricul
ture. They weave cloth, build with tools
made of stone, and build towns of stoue
and mortar with walla. They have now
seven small towns; but the ruins of their
ancient cities show that they were once
inhabited by millions.
