“ Oh ! Joe I must go when I am called.”
“ Yes, my dear, of course. Well, L
must resign myself, I suppose. By the
way, my dear, has it ever occurred to you
that I .shall be left a widower with three
children ? I think lam a handsome man
yet, my love,” and Joe walked over to the
glass, passed his fingers through his hai;
and pulled up his collar. Maria looked
up, rather surprised.
“ Tou see, my dear, it is rather a relief
for you to go quietly, you know. It is so
wearing on the nerves to bare a long ill
ness , and besides, my dear, there wiTl he
no funeral expenses, and that is quite a
'saving.”
Mrs. Peters’ lip quivered,and her lar-ae
blue eyes filled wit h tears. Joe longed '"to
stop his he.rt ess speech and comfort her.

not gamed yet.
“ t>o, my dear," he continued “if you
mus. go, i have been thinking ul gettin ,r
another wife."
“ What '! ' cried Mrs Peters.
“ Another wife, my love. The house
must be kept in order, and the boys cared
for.” ,
The grief was gone from Maria’s face,
but hot teeth were set wi.h a look offieree
wrath.
“ Yes. I think I have selected a good
successor. I deliberated a long time,
when I was a bachelor, •uetween her and
yourself. You will like her, for she is
your bosom friend.”
“ My bosom friend !”
“Yes, my dear. I think on the day that
you asceud, I will marry Sarah Ingram!"
“What! that good-for-nothing, silly,
empty-headeu bid maid, the mother of my
Children ! U’hat I”
“No doubt! Oh I you great brutal,
hateful ”
“Stop, my dear, don’t fly into a fury !
We will try to spend our last week in
happiness! Oh, by the way I have ,a pro
position to make,”
“Go on, sir! Don’t spare me!”
“ Ah, yes, that is the very thing I wish
to do. I know your mind is entirely eu
grossed with your ascension, and I wish
to spare you the care of the house. Sup
pose vou invite Sarah here to-morrow, to
spend a week!”
“ What?”
“ Then J can. arrange oar matrimonial
preparations in the evening, while yon are
at the lecture.” '
“ And you can leave the house in her
charge all day. That will give you plenty
of time to go out,, and nhe can learn the
ways about in the house.”
“What?” ’
“ And, my dear, ope little favor. It

you whistled when you caine in. You
will be very glad to have me go, and
marry her, won’t you? No doubt of it!
But you shan’t marry her, sir ! Yon shan’t
have that gratification ! 1 will stay, if it is
only to spite you ! I won’t go M tell you
Mr. Peters, I won’t go!”
“ But, my dear you must go if you are

“ I won’t go !”
“ But consider, my dear 1”
“ I won’t go !”
“ But what will Sarah think ?”
“ Sarah ! Don’t dare to ihention Sarah

herself into a chair, in a fit of hysterics.
Next morning, Mr. Peters met Fred in
the street.
“ Well old boy, how goes it ?”
“ Fred,” was the reply, “ I am the hap
piest man in the world ! I have regained
my wife and domestic peace, and got rid
of a busy, tattling old maid, who’ under
pretence of loving my wife was everlast

“Then Mrs. Peters will not ascend?”

Very Old but Good
Mr. Slang hud just married his second
wife. On the day after the wedding, Mr.
Slang said : '
“ 1 mean to enlarge my dairy.”
“ You mean our dairy, my dear,” replied
Mr- Slang. ;
“I say I shall enlarge my dairy,” said
Mr. Slang. i
“ Say our dairy, Mr. Slang.”
“No, my dairy.”
“ Say our dairy, my dear,” screamed
Mrs. Slang seizing the poker.
“My dairy! my dairy 1” vociferated the
husband.
“ Our dairy ! our dairy 1 our dairy !”
re-echoed the wife, emphasizing each word
with a blow of the poker upon the back
of her cringing spouse.
Mr Slang retreated Sunder the bed. In
passing nder the bed cloths, Mr. Slang’s
hat was brushed off. He remained there
several minutes. At length his wife saw
his head peering from under the bed like
a toirtoise from its shell.
“What are you looking for, Mr. Slang ?”
•>ay she.
“ 1 am looking, my dear, to see if I Can
see anything of our hat.”
The struggle was -over. And ever since
Mr. Slang has avoided this odious singular
possessive noun.
An Unexpected Question. —At a
village called “The Centre,”’ in the
Northern part of Vermont, tne boys and
girls, last month, • had a glorious dance
and a gay time generally. A youth not
having the fear of the bottle belure his’
eyes, managed to get decidedly in the fog
upon this unwonted occasion, and slyly
withdrew under tl>e bed of the ladies’
dressing room to recruit. Np sooner had
he closed his eyes than a pair of humming
damsels came in from the ball, and began
adjusting their disordered ringlets. The
girls had tongues, which ran in this wise :
“ W hut a nice dance we’re having. Have
you beard anybody say anything about
me Jane ?” “ La, yes, Sally ! Jim Brown
says he never saw you look so handsome
as you do to night. Have you Beard
anything about mo ? “ About you! why,
sartin ; I heard Joe Flint tell Sdm Jones
that you was the prettiest dressed girl in
the room.” When upon the dear things
chuckled, “ fixed up” a little more, and
were starting off glibily for fresh gossip,
when our half conscious friend raised him
self upon his elbow, and quite intelligibly
i hough slowly inquired, “ Ha’ you heard
any bony, say anything about me, girls !”
“ Phansy their pheelinks” at this junc
ture. They fled with an explosive scream.

Sing ulas Pheak.—An un married man
by the name of Philip Fesiuau, residing
about a mile this side of New .London,
Oneida county, came to his death a fow
days since, by the adoption of asingular
and extraordinary freak. He tivedwHh
bis mother a widow woman, and abdut a
year ago he took it into bis head that he
ought not to eat anything but bread and
water; he livid on that diet alone until
about five nr six weeks ago, when he again
took a notion that his hands were so dirty
that be ought not to eat bread ;and water
he would not drink only os he inspected it
in the bucket as it came from the well ; and
sometimes he would require that a number
ol puilarul should be drawn before he would
drink For forty-three days before his
death he eat not a mouthful as his mother
is positive. He would wash his hsipis
frequently for an hour at a-time; whilst
he lived on bread, he would require that
his part should be baked by itself and then
-he would break off and eat it, as he wanted
it. When he bee.me so weak that ho
couldn't go out, then he would carefully
inspect the waiter brought him. If was a
singular freak ; he was doubtless partially
insane, although he talked pretty well on
other subjects. —Rome {N. Y) Sentinel.

We have a Methodist preacher here
who is a jolly; wag. A few days sincere
young man who had been attached to his
church, and who was about to leaue for
New Orleans, came to bid his pastor tore
well. '
“ And so you are going to that
erated place, New OrleahS, are you?" 1
“Yes, sir: but I don't expect to beill*
fluenced by an extraneous pressure ofant
kind," responded th® youngman, with
considerable earnestness.
« Well, I am glad to see! you so cohft*
dent. I hope the Lord will guide you.—
But do you know the temptationa which
exist there V* V%
“ No: not particularly.”
“Well, i do; you’ll find wanton women

and you’ll find gay company, and night
