Matrimonial Infelicities
BY AN IRBITABLE MAN
After midnight
"Do you bear that child cough. my
dear ?" I asked the mother of my child
ren, as I raised myself on one elbow in
bed, and listened.
" No," she said, awaking from het
sleep. " I do not."
" Then you must be deaf," I cried.—
" Bark !"'
The interesting worrier' lifted her bead
from the pillow, untitd the strings of
her bonnet de nuit, brushed back a lock
of bair from her right ear, and listened
attentively.
"There I" I said, as a harsh, discor
dant sound broke the silence, "do you
bear it now 1"
"I hear a singular noise," she replied,
" but 'tis not a cough."
" Then I should like to Irnoir what it
it," 1 exclaimed.
" I am sure I cannot tell," she replied;
"but it is n't a cough, that is very cer
tain."
" I'm not certain, however," , I said
" I can't help it," she answered ; "
a mother, and am presnmed to know the
sound of a child's cough when 'I hear
one."
Well," I said, " I am a father, I sup
pose, and I don't see why I can't tell a
cough when I hear it. Listen
•' My dear !" and my wife grasped my
arm nervously as she spoke, "it proceeds
from some one trying to get into the
house. That noise comes from a file."
" Nonsense," I replied ; " buglars
would not think of breaking in here."
Hark!" she cried ; "I hear some
body on the stairs.",
We both sat up in bed, with our eyes
fixed upon the door. Again was beard
harsh notes that first aroused me.—
There was no mistaking the sound this
time, and my. wife said :
"It is the little boy; he has been out
-too . mach to-day, and though I• tried
hard to do so, I couldn't keep him in•."
The door opened at that moment and
Katy entered.
"ph,, ma'am, the little boy coughs so,
snail don't know what to give him. I
think he has the croup, ma'am."
" Go back to 'the nursery immediate
ly," my wife said, "and I will be there
in a minute."
My wife rose, went to the closet, se.
lected the proper remedies, and opened
the door to depart.
" Well," she asked, turning to me, are
you not going with me ?"
" What good can I do ?" I replied.—
"I don't see that I should get up in the
middle of the night and go trotting
around the house because you do. If I
could be of any service, I would go, of
course."
" Well, it would only look fatherly in
you to do it," she answered. " Will you
go ?"
"111 v dear," I said, "if there be one
thing I dislike more than another, it is
to get up in the middle of the . night.—
l'll go, if it be neccessary, but dont you
wait for me, for it will take me some
time to dress, and the little fellow needs
you there at once "
I laid down, deciding to remain where
I was, rather than go where I knew I
should he in the way. o Ten minutes
passed, during which time the little hoy
coughed occasionally, but each time
was looser and more natural. Then
satisfied that he was improving under
his mother's treatment, I resolved to go
to sleep. Scarcely were my eyes closed,
when Katy tapped at the door.
" Come in." I cried.
"The mistress woul'cl like to have you
come to the nursery to see the little
boy." , .
"How is he?" I asked. "Is he awake
or asleep ?"
"'Oh, he is just sleeping nicely, and
he looks so party. the mistress thought
you'd' like to see him."
"Not to night, Katy. Tell your mis
tress that I'll.see him in the morning."
Ther. I turned over and closed my
eyes again : I had gone a little distance
into the land of Nod, when my wife
touched me on the shoulder.
"You are a humane, affectionate fath
er. are.n't you ?" she said, regarding me
with a severe look.
"1 don't know anything to the con
trary." I replied. "Do you?"
"Yes, I do," she answered. "And I
must say I think your conduct to-night
was atrocious. Not only did you let
me go alone to the nursery, but when I
sent for you to come to see the little
boy, who, for aught you knew, was dy
ing, you refused. Yon men are just as
cruel and hard-hearted as you can be.--
We women must get up in the night and
attend to the children if they. are sick,
while you sleep as soundly as if there
were no cares in the world."
"But, my dear," I replied, "I was
very weary and wanted to sleep."
" So did I," she replied ; " but no, I
had to keep awake. If I hadn't, I don't
know where the poor little boy would
have been by this time. It is n't owing
to you that he is now alive." -
" Well, I should just like to 'know," I
said, maliciously, " to whoni it is owing,
if not to me ?"
"Well, I will tell you," said my wife
"it is to me and="
" Who?' I asked, raising myself on
my elbow, and regarding her closely, as
she paused, a moment before uttering the
final name.
"Kate, to be sure," she continued.—
" Weren't we obliged, I should like to
know, to soak the little fellow's feet, and
rub sweet oil upon his chest, and put
anttfat
flannels dipped into hot vinegar and
pepper around his throat, and coax him
to take medicine I"
"Oh r exclaimed, as I sunk down
among the pillows, "I thought—"
"Never mind what you thought," my
wife; interposed. " The truth is, you
only think of your ease and comfort, and
never care whether I enjoy myself or
not." '
"•My dear," I said, "you must excuse
me. but I wish to go to sleep, I will
hear the remainder. of what you have to
say in the morning ; because, if there be
one thing dislike more than another,
it is to listen to a curtain lecture at
night."
"For a married man of your experi
ence," she said, " it seems to me you are
vastly particular. Now, it appears to
me that if I wished to lecture you—
which, thank fortune, I do not—that
the present time would be the most ap
propriate, and also the least liable to
interruption. Von cannot say, though,
that I have ever condecended to lec
ture. I trust I have more respect for
my husband than to utter a word to him
which would have the effect of lowering
him in my own estimation. Ido think,
however, that you sometimes deserve a
reprimand, although you do not get it."
" Will you oblige me, my love," I said.
tenderly, " by going to sleep ?"
"Certainly," she answered. .
There was a silence for three minutes
and a half. I sunk into a doze. Illy
wife startled me by exclaiming
"I do think you treat me 'too badly.
I am not allowed to express au opinion
of my own ; and when I try to speak,
you endeavor to stop me by telling me
to go to sleep. It was not so once. I
have seen the time when you were only
too glad to listen to what .I had to say ;
and would willingly sit tip all night to
hear me talk, if I would only letyou. I
don't understand why you men change
so after marriage. lam certain I have
not altered in the least. What I was
in disposition and feelings, when a girl,
I am now; but no one would recognize
you for the amiable, smooth-spoken
young man of—how many years ago
were we married ?"
"I'm sure I don't know, and what is
more, I don't care," I replied. " Now
will you be quiet, and let me go to sleep,
or not ?"
"0 yes, go to sleep, if yon -want to,"
she answered; and another brief silence
ensued, broken by my wife sobbingly ex
claiming :
"Only nine years next June since we
were married, and to hear you say now
that you don't know nor care when it
took place, is perfectly horrible, and
something I never expected to hear
from your lips."
" Well, now that you have heard it,"
I exclaimed, "I trust you will be able
to go to sleep, for I tell you positively
that if there be one thing I dislike more
than another, it is to hear you talk after
midnight."
Having uttered this, I drew the bed
clothes closer about me, shut my eyes
firmly, and went to sleep--almost.
"Husband 1" somebody said, close to
me.
" Well , wife, what is it ?" I inquired.
"I didn't mean everything , I said to
you. Good night."
Are you sleepy ?" she inquired.
"Yes, good-night," I replied.
" Good night," she .answered.
11 1117 DO HENS EAT 7 HEIR EGGS ?—lt
has already been stated that eggs are
composed of albumen. Now, when
fowls are compelled to eat, grind, and di
gest a _large quantity of coarse food,
which contains but little albumen, there
is a longing and hankerina . b after more
nourishment; or something that will sup
ply the waste of their systems, which is
dailsoassing•off in the form of eggs. • 1
suppose thatthis hankering is not unlike
the sensation ,whigh a man feels who is i
making an,elfort tip abandon the use of
tobacco,•although I am'not able to speak
from personal experience in such a mat
ter, having never tasted nor smoked the
"devil's weed." Consequently, they are
ready to devour anything that is eatable,
and as soon as they get a taste of eggs,
they obta n a large quantity of just the
nourishment which is demanded by their
systems, and but little, time and muscu
lar energy is required to transform it in
to eggs again.
Another thing, also, which induces
hens to eat their eggs, is they have a
hankering for something that will form a
good shell ; and nothing is better for
that purpose than the very shells. Con
sequently, when the shells of eggs are
thrown to hens, when only broken in two,
it will learn them to try a whole shell
when the egg is in it.
Fowls, whn laying, must have lime.
I keep a dish of clear lime always with
in reach. This is far better than to coin:
pel them to pick and work over a.lot of
mortar, for the sake of obtaining. only a
small quantity, of lime. Every egg : shell
should be broken into small fragments,
mingled with 'meat chopped fine, or with
scalded meal - thickened with milk, or ev
en made thick like mush. By allowing
hens to have all the linie they need, the
egg-shells will be much thicker and more
firm than they will when hens are com
pelled to find materials for the egg•shells
only in their food, or in bits of old mor
tar, or by eating lumps of earth.
eV There is no better definition of
an enmy to his country than is found in
the following words of Daniel Webster:
"Any man who hesitates in granting and
securing to every part - of the censtitu
tional- rights is an enemy to the whole
country.".

A PROGRESS THROUGH . EGYPT.—/Toni
age to a great Lenefactor.—The " Diary
of a Physician," by Dr. Warren, thril
ling and interesting as it has been con
sidered, is not more marvellous than the.
actual experience of the celebrated Pro
fessor Holloway in the various countries
he has visited. While in a spirit of
general philanthrophy he has deVoted
himself to the conversion of the public
health, without distinction of nation or
class, he has been the intimate friend of
princes and an honored guest at the,
table of kings. His courtly manners,
varied information, and the facinating
style in which he gives his impressions
of the countries and peoples with whom
his travels have made him familiar, rend
er him the most delightful of compan
ions. When in Epypt, (whither he went
several years ago for the purpose of in
vestigatin the antiquities of that cradle
of learning and science,) he received a
special invitation from Ibrahim Pasha
to become his guest at Alexandria, and
that remarkable man is said to have of
fered him an enonmous income as an in
ducement to become his physician-in
chief. Failing in" that, he ordered a
guard of honor to attend Professor Hol
loway to Thebes, and presented him
with a special firman, addressed to all
civil and military officers in Egypt, com
manding them to afford " the friend of
Ibrahim Pasha" every facility in the
prosecution of his researches. Thus he
journeyed, the guest of the nation,
through the realm of the Pharaohs.—
Nor was his progress simply devoted to
antiquarian objects. Traveling as usual
with an ample supply of hid invaluable
remedies, he was enabled to do an infin
ity 'of good in that, unhealthy region
watered by the Nile. Wherever his
tents were pitched, the sick were con
veyed there. Nubian and Abyssinnian
princes` brought their sick wives and
children on litters, seeming to believe
that he could heal them. with a touch,
and Moors, Copts, and Turks—in fact,
representatives of all the races that make
the population of Egypt, vied with each
other in doing him honor. Ile had. lit-.
tie occasion to use the firman, for the
cures he wrought were a passport to all
hearts--a sufficient incentive to exertion
in his service. Even the dancing girls
who came at evening to perform before
his tent, at various places on the route,
refused the customary dauceur. • They
merely asked a small supply of the med.
cines which had proved so efficacious in
the diseases of the -country, and felt as•
sured, on receiving them, that they pos
sessed a talisman capable of controlling
every species of sickness.
Benovolenc,e,courage and persever
ance, combined with skill of the highest
order, and all exercised in an Unselfish
spirit for the good of mankind, are the
main traits of this great man's character.
They have stamped his name upon the
hearts of the present generation and
given it a just claim to immortality,—

statistics in the biography of Gen; Mc-

Gray to wait till I can give him an ex

ROW A SOLDIER FEELS IN BATTLE.-A
young French soldier thus writes of his
first experience in battle :—" Our officer
kept us back, for we were not numerous
enough to charge upon the enemy.—
This was prudent,ler the murderous fire,
so fatal to the white coats, did us but
little harm. Our conical balls penetrat
ed their dense masses, whilst those of
the Atistrains whistled past our ears and
respected our persons. It was the first
time I had faced fire ; nor was I the
only one. Well, I am satisfied with
myself. True, I dodged the first balls,
but Henry IV. did the same thing at
the beginning of every battle. It is,
in fact, a physical effect, independent of
the will.
"But, this tribute pissed if you could
only feel how each shot electrifies you.
It is like a whip on a racer's legs. The
balls whistle past you, turn up the earth
around, kill one, wound another, and you
hardly notice them. You grow intoxi
cated, the smell of gunpowder mounts
to your brain. The eyes become blood
shot and the look is fixed upon the ene
my. There is something of all the pas
sions in that terrible passion excited
in a soldier by the sight of blood and the
tumult of battle.
"Everybody who has tried it testifies
to the peculiar intoxication that is pro
duced by being in a battle. There is an
infatuating influence about the smell of
powder, the shrill whistle of a bullet,
and the sight of human blood, that in
stantly transforms men from cowards to
heroes—from women sometimes to mon
sters. No one can tell of the !Attire or
mistery of that influence but those who
have been in the fray themselves."
FIDELITY.—Never forsake a friend.--
When enemies gather round—when sick
ness falls on 'the heart—when the world
is dark and cheefiless—is the time to try
true friendship. They who turn front
the scene of distress, betray.their hypo
cricy, and prove that interest only moves
them. If you have a friend that loves
you and studies your interest and happi
ness, be sure to sustain him in adversity.
Let him feel that his former kindness is
appreciated, and that his love was not
thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare
but it exists in the heart. Who has not
seen and felt its power? They only de
ny its worth and power who have never
loved a friend or labored to make a friend
happy.
