THE SIXTEENTH LECTURE. j DAtu li itr, limn 1 1. r.i, ainrs iauplh laii I TASSES THE MKItlTS OF l'ltOHAIU.E GODFATHER). "lome, now, love, aiiout haby's name; The dear thing's three months old, and not a name to its back yet. There you go again! Talk of it to-morrow! No; we'll talk of it to-night. There's no having a word with you in the day time but here you can't leave me. Now don't eay you wi.sh you could, Caudle; that's un kjud, and not treating a wife especially the wife I am to you as she deserves. It isn't often that I speak; but I do believe you'd like never to hear the sound of my voice. I might as well have been born dumb! "I suppose the baby must have a godfather; and so, Caudle, who shall we have? Who do you tlu'nk will be able to do the most for it! fro, Caudle, no; I'm not a selfish woman nothing of the sort but I hope I've the feel ings of a mother; and what's the use of a godr father, if he gives nothing else to the child but a name? A child might almost as well not be christened at all. And so who shall we have? What do you say? Anybody? Aren't you ashamed of yourself, ('audit;? Don't you think something will happen to you, to talk in that way? I don't know where you pick up such principles. I'm thinking who there is among our acquaintance who can do the most for the Messed creature, and you say 'Anybody." Caudle, you are quite a heathen. "There's Wagstaff. No chance of his ever marrying, and he's very fond of babies. He's plenty of money, Caudle; and I think lie might be got. Babies, I know it babies are his weak side. Wouldn't it be a blessed thing to find our dear child in his will ? Why don't you speak? I declare, Caudle, you eeem to care no more for the child than if it was a stranger's. People who can't love children more than you do ought never to have 'em. You don't like Wagstajf't No more do I much; but what's that to do with it ? People who've their families to provide for musn't think of their feelings. don't like him; but then I'm a mother, and love my haby ! You ivon't have Wagstal), and that' Jlutf Ha, Caudle, you're like nobody else not fit for this world, you're not. "What do you think of Pugsby ? I can't lear his wife; but that's nothing to do with it. know my duty to my babe; I wish other ) people did. What do you say f Pugsby' s a tricked J el low? 11a! that's UKe you always giving people a bad name. We mustn't always believe what the world says, Caudle; it doesn't become us as Christians to do it. I only know that he hasn't chick or child; and, Vtouidua that, he's verv strong interest in the I Eluecoats; and so, if Pugsby . Now, don't fly out at the man in that manner, Caudle, you ought to be ashamed of yourself ! You ! can't speak well of anybody. Where du you think to go to r "What do you say, then, to Sniggins ? Now don't bounce round in that way, letting the cold air into the bed 1 What's the mat ter with Sniggins ? You wouldn't ask him a favor for the world 9 Well, it's a good thing Jr. - i i i. -j T 'ii tne- Dairy uas someuouy to care lor it: i win. What do you say ? sha'n't ? I will, I can tell you. Sniggins, besides being a warm man, has good interest in the Customs; and there's nice pickings there, if one only goes the right way to get 'em. It's no use, Caudle, your lidgeting about not a bit. I'm not going to have baby lost sacrificed, I must eay, like its brothers and sisters. What do I mean by sacrificed f Oh 1 you knovr what I mean very well. What have any of 'em got ly their godfathers beyond a half-pint mug, a knife aud fork, and spoon and a shabby coat, that I know was bought second-hand, for I could almost swear to the place ? And there was your fine friend Hartley's wife 1 what did she give to Caroline ? Why, a ! trumpery lace cap it made me blush to look at. What ? It was the. best .she. could afford 9 Then she'd no right to stand for the child. People wjio can't do better than that have no business to take the responsibility of god mother. They ought t know their duties tetter. "Well, Caudle, you an't object to Uld Etan ! Yes, you do t 'Vas tWe ever such a man r What for ? Jfi's n usurer and a hunks 9 Well, I'm oure you've 10 busiuesu-iuJrt World, Caudle; you have such high-lluwn notions. Why, isn't the man as rich as tha bank ? And as for his being a usurer isn't it all the better for those who come after him ? I'm sure it's well there's some people in the world who save money, seeing the stupid creatures who throw it away. Hat you are the strangest man ! 1 really believe you think money a sin, instead of the greatest Messing; for I can't mention any of our q'ii ii !ii lit n in'rt that's rich ana l m sure we don't know too many such people that you Vovon't Biimetbincr to say against 'em. It's only beggars that you like people with not a Bhilliuii to bless themselves. Ha 1 though you're my husband, I must say it you re a rnnn of low notions. Caudle. I only hope none of the poor boys will take after their father 1 MA T nhould like to know what S the nVWtinnH to lioldniau 1 The only thin (mfnst him is his name; I must confess it, I don't like the name of Lazarus; jt' low, doesn't sound genteel not at all respectable. Hut after he's gone and done what's proper for the child, the boy could easily slip Laza--malnto Laurence. I'm told the thing's dono often. No, Caudle, don't say that I'm not a mean woman; certainly not; quite the reverse. I've only a parent's love for my children; and I must Bay it l wisn everyoouy loit as 1 did THE CMCHOH HORROR. Oh! once I knew A miiliiMi lair. With azure eye and golden Imic And as 1 gazed In rapture lust ily heart my heart, all tempest-lost, ilccame'so weak, I could tint speak. . Rut stood amazed, all heatiiy-ri azed! Her gulden curls In tiusKirs loll. And seemed lo tin It in amber nlr. lcllinut,'lit her prutre no tongue could tell! .Sim seemed the lalrest ol ihtt (air. But oil t one duv, one vvof'ul day, 1 met my bemilv on thestreet, J I it hair done up In such a way ISO Kplrlt In a w inding sheet I Could nlvi me greiiter fright. (.ill, surh it siitnt Oh. such a fright! And hi I gjzed. In wonder mazed: Oh, can tl really lie Thai Nlie, Hint she. Ho sweet am', lair, So rlcli and rare, In iioidpii hair. In rh'pllnKCUi Is, 'I 'hlsuueeiiot girls, Should before tin- people. Appear with such a steeple Slanting upward from Iut crown, I.Ike the famous leaning tower ot Pisa, Which all expect to sea come tumbling down! Oh, Mary, Mabel, Kl hel, Addlo, Kate, Theresa! Whate'er may be your name, you surely are Wand'rlng from Truth and Nature very far; Upsetting all the well-known classic rules Jievised In ancient Greek and Latin schools, our locks were maile to fall and How, i in t never, never meant to slick tip so! And to your beauty thus unjust, llow do you think your friends Can recognize this bust? 1 "I suppose, It tne truui whs Known, you'd like your tobacco-pipe Mend, your pot-oom- 1 panion, Prettyman, to stand for the child ? I You'd have no objection 9 I thought not I I knew what It was coining to. He's a r, lio is; and a portion, who stavu out half the nipht; yes, he does; and it's iio use your denying it a beggar and a tippler; and that's the man you'd make godfather to your own flesh and blood ! Upon my word, Caudle, it's enough to make a woman get up and dress herself to hear you talk. "Well, 1 can hardly tell you, if you won't have WagstafT, or l'ugsby, or Sniggins, or Ooldman, or somebody that's respectable, to do what's proper, the child tdia'n't be chris tened at all. As for Prettyinan, or any such rail no, never 1 I'm sure there'n a certain set of people that poverty's catching from, nnd that 1'rettyman'H one of 'em. Now, Caudle, I won't have my dear child lost by any of your spittoon acquaintance, I can tell you. "No; unless 1 can have my way, the child sha'n't bo christened at all. What do you Bay i must hare a mime. ? There's no 'must' at all in the case none. No; it shall have no name; and then see what the world will say. I'll call it Number Six yes, that will do as well as anything else, unless I've the god father I like. Number .Six Caudle t ha ! ha 1 I think that must make you ashamed of your self, if anything can. Number Kix Caudle! a much better namo thau Mr. Prettyman could give; yes, Numlier Six ! What do you say? Anything but Niuuber Seven? Oh I Caudle, if over" "At this moment," writes Candle, "little Number Six began to cry; and taking advan tage of the happy accident, 1 somehow got to sleep." THE SEVENTEENTH LECTURE. CAI'PI.K, IN THE COKItSH OF TIIK DAY, HAS VEX TUliKD TO (iUKSTIO.N TIIK ECONOMY OF "V ASlll.NU AT HOME." "A pretty temper you come to bed in, Mr Caudle, I can sea! Oh, don't deny it I think I ought to know by this time. Hut it's always the way; whenever I get up a few things, the house can hardly hold you! Nobody cries out more about clean linen than you do and nobody leads a poor woman so miserable a a life when she tries to make her husband comfortable. Yes, Mr. Caudle comfortable! You needn't keep chewing the word, as if you couldn't swallow it. Was there, ever snth a woman? No, Caudle, I hope not. I should hope no other wife wa.s ever put upon as I am! It's all very well for you. I can't have a little wash at home like anybody else, but you must go about the house swearing to yourself, and looking at your wife as if she was your bitterest enemy. Hut I suppose you'd rather we didn't wash at all. Yes; then you'd be happy! To be sure you would you'd like to have all the children in their dirt, like potatoes; anything, so that it didn't disturb you. I wish you'd a wife who'd never wash'd she'd have suited you, she would. Yes; a line lady, who'd have let your children go that you might have scraped 'em. She'd have been much better cared for than I am. I only wish I could let all of you go without clean linen at all yes, all of you. 1 wish I could! And if I wasn't a slave to my family, unlike anybody else, I should. "No, Mr. Caudle; the house isn't tossed about in water as if it was Noah's Ark! And you ought to lie ashamed of yourself to talk of Noah's Ark in that loose manner. I'm sure I don't know what I've done to be married to a man of such principles. No; and the whole house doesn't taste of soapsuds either; and if it did, any other man but yourself would be above naming it. I suppose I don't like wasn-ing-di.y any more than yourself. What do you say 1 Yes dot Ha ! you're wrong there, Mr. Caudle. No; I don't like it because it makes everybody else uncomfortable. No; and I ought not to have been born a mermaid, that I might always have been in the water. A mermaid, indeed 1 What next will you call me ? Hut no man, Mr. Caudle, says such things to his wife as you. However, as I've said before, it can't last long, that's one com fort. What do you say ? You're ijlad of it t You're a brute, Mr. Caudle 1 No, you didn't mean, washing 1 I know what you meant. A pretty speech to a woman who's been the wife to you 1 have 1 xou il repent when it s too late; yes, 1 wouldn't have your feelings when I'm gone, Caudle no. not for the Hank of Enghmd 1 "And when we only wash once a fortnight ! Ila ! ha 1 I only wish you had some wives: they'd wash once a week ! Hesides, if once a fortnight's too much for you, why don't you give me money that we may have things to go a month? Is it wy fault, if we're short? What do you say ? My 'oure a frtni;ht' lasts three days t No.it doesn't; never; well, very seldom, and that's the same thing. Can I help it, if the blacks will lly, and the things must be rinsed again ? Don't say that: I'm wi'made happy by the blacks, and they d,i't prolong my enjoyment: and, more than that, you're an unfeeling man to say so. You're enough to make a womad wish herself in her grave you are, Caudle. "And a pretty example you set to your sons ! Because we'd a little wash to-day, and there wasn't a hot dinner and who thinks of gettnig anything hot for washerwomen ? because you hadn't everything as you always have it, you must swear at the cold mutton and 3 oh don't know what 1 that mutton cost a pound, 1 dare say you must swear at n sweet, wholtjiW joint like a lord. What? lou didn't c Yes; it's very well for you to say si; hit 1 know when you're swearing; and you vear when you little think it; and I say y,t!i 1 itist go on swearing as you did, and seize your hat like a savage, and rush out ot the house and go and take your dinner at a titvf in 1 A prettv wife people must think you have, v l' )i they find you dining at a public home. A nice home they must think you have, Mr. Caudle! What 1 You'll do so evry ' J wish ? Very well, Mr. Caudle very w Ij. We'll soon see who's tired of that; first; for I'll wash a stocking a day if that's all, sooner than you should have everything as you line, na '. that's so like vou: vou d trample everybody under foot, if you could you know you would. Caudle, so , don't deny it. "Now, if you begin to shout in that man ner, I'll leave the bed. It's very hard that I can't say a single word to you, but you must almost raise the place. You didn't shout t I don't know what you call shouting, then ! I'm sure the people must heal- you in the next house. No it won't do to call me soft names now, Caudle: I'm not the fool that I was when 1 was first married I know better now. You're to treat mo in the mamer yeu have, all day; and then ut night, the only time and place when I can get a word in, you want to go to sleep. How can you be so mean, Caudle ? ' "What? Why rait' t I put the. washing out 9 Now, you have asked that a thousand times, i ... tt'n .,Jn ri...n I-,.. ... . ouv ii. b ur, iiiuuiii! so uon t asK n again I won't put it out. What do you Bay ? Mrs. i Prettyman says it's ipiile as cheap f Pray, what's Mrs. Prettyman to me f I should think, Mr. : Caudle, that 1 know very well how to take 1 care of my family, without Mrs. Prettyman's i advice. Mrs. Prettyman, indeed 1 I onlyj wish she'd come here, that I might tell her so ! Mrs. Prettyman I But perhaps ehe'd better come and take care of your bouse for you ! Oh, yes ! I've uo doubt she'd do it much better than I do mw h. No, Caudle ! I won't hold my tontuc, I think I ought to be mistress of my own washing by this time and alter the wife I've been to you, it's cruel of you to go on as ypu do. "Don't tell me 'about putting the washing out. 1 pay it isn't ho cheap I don't care whether you wash by the do.en or not it isn't 1 so cheap; I've reduced everything, and I save at least a shilling s week. What do you say ? A trumpery shilling? Hal 1 only hope to goodness you'll not come to want, talking of shillings in the way you do. Now, don't begin about your comfort; don't go on aggra vating me, and asking mo if your comfort's not worth a shilling a week ? That's nothing at all to do with it nothing; but that's your way when I talk of one thing, you talk of another; that's so like you men, and you know it. Allow mo to tell you, Mr. Candle, that a shilling a week is two pound twelve a year; and take two pound twelve a year for, let us say, thirty years, and well, you needn't groan.'Mr. Caudle I don't sup pose it will be so long; oh, no ! you'll have somebody else to look after your washing long before that and if it wasn't for my dear chil dren's sake 1 shouldn't care how soon. You know my mind and so, good night, Mr. Caudle." b "Thankful for her silence," writes Caudle, "I was fiist dropping to sleep; when, jogging my elbow, my wife observed 'Mini, there's the cold mutton to-morrow; nothing hot till that's gone. Remember, too, as it was a short wash to-day, we wash again on Wed nesday.' " Mm. Caudle's Curtain tectum will be continued dait) in The vening Telegraph, unlit com pleted. More About "Art cm as Hard." The editor of the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, a for mer comrade of "Artemas Ward" gives some reminiscences of the late humorist. We make a few extracts: "A curious adventure befel him on his way north, and we pive it as told to ua by himseit. In a villitge In Southern Ohio, Browne and a fel low our' found themselves completely Wrapped,' and with no prospect of obiuiuing work or help of anv kind. Browne's companion hit on h lucky idea. Browne was to reiuiun quiet at the hotel whilst bin companion niHdn acquaintance" outside, and by his remarks led the people to believe that Fletcher Webster was stopping in town. The scheme succeeded. The magnates of the town unsiily ealhered and paid their repccts to 'Fletcher Webster,' who soon found himseit holding a levee, attended by nearly nil the population. A complimentary sup per was given aud presents lorced upon him. When the pair took their departure, a dy or two afterwards, tne landlord reiused to take any pay, esteeming the honor ot'entertainiust a near relative ot the '(jreat K.vpotiuder' to be more than an equivalent lor the board aud lodgirut fdraUhed. Unhappily, howevPr, the trick was discovered soon after the pair of friends leit the place, a warrant was issued, aud they were pur sued by the constable and landlord. Tbiugi tives seized a hand-car and attempted to esctpe by its means on the track, but were overhauled, brought back and locked up. The Justice, ho w cver, either found the law had no hold on the practical jokers, or thought the whole atl'air a good joke, for they were allowed to no free. "At the end of his travels he brought up In Toledo, where he was employed as a compositor on the ltepubltcun, then printed. A tew local items which he dresced up in spicy language caught the attention of the proprietor ot' the Toledo Commercial, and he was engaged ns 'local editor' on that paper. "There was a vacHiicy in the local department of the I'laindeater at that time, and Mr. Uray tendered the position to the youiisr Toledo piinter, whone items in the Toledo Republican aud Commercial had struck hi fancy. Browne at once accepted, comiutr to Cleveland in the summer of 1857. Here he soon became popular, not only by his contributions to the local columns ot tthe ftaindealtr, but also by his ccniul social characteristics. He was not a steady worker in getting up the local news of the rliiy, but he made up tor any deficiency in this respect by 'inventiuu' startling news items, aud by humorous adaptations of anecdote he had heard, aud to which he mauaeed to give a local colonns. It was to till a vacancy caused by a lack of local news that he started his 'Artemus ward' letters, onsrinally intendcl to run only to the extent of three or four, but the success of which induced him to continue them. "liis first attempt tit lecturing was made, we believe, iu Rochester, New York, and ihose who heard him afterwards will readily believe thiu the audience was both amazed and a:uused. We forget what he culled the 'lecture,' on that occa sion, but shortly utterwards, in writing us to announce his delivery of the same lecture iu Cleveland, he If it it. di-cretionnrv to call it the 'Seven Poor Grandmothers' which he thought perhaps the most taking title 'Babes in the Wood' "The Live Secret' or either of the six or feven other names he sugces'ed. Th" only stipulation was thut he wits to be informed of the name selected, lie added that it 'made no particular dillerence which name was chosen; one would have as much to do with the suoiect as the others.' There was a good deal of truth in that loke. "The lecture experiment proved a success so treat that he was himself astonished. His pbin. as sketched to us, was to visit the principal cities the first year, tlieu the second c'a-s towns, nud then the villages that had not found out what the lt-cture actually was but never vislt iue the ssme place twice. That would occupy three years, when there might be a chance to no io California, and pt-rWips Kuerland. His ex traordinary sncces rendered this programme unnecessary." GOVERNMENT SALES.
