This Is tho talo of a queer old hen
That sat on eggs exactly ten,
Bho made her nest with pride and care,
And, weather foul and weather fair,'
You always found her at her post,
r-or pJtlenco was her dally boast,
Alas! how 6ft It Is nur lot
To brag of what they haven't got,

Days passed, and when
The sun began to warmer grow,
And grass and leaves began to show
Their twinkling green on hill and valo;
When stieet and pleasant was the gale,
This queer old hen began to long
To Join once moie tho noisy throng
Of idle gossips half a scoro
That strutted by the old bam door.
O, dear I O, dcarl hero I am tied!
A weary lot Is mine,' sho sighed,
Iso gleam of pleasuro do I catch j
Why don't these tlrcsomo chlckcus hatch ?

To sit so long upon these eggs,
m sick of pining hero nt home;
O, chicks, chicks, chtuUs, why don't yo como7

There's Mother Doiulntquo, next door,

And thcy'vo been out a wcelc or moro:
And now she wanders nt her ease,
As proud and happy as you please,
So stir your pinky, little pegs
My yellow.bllls, come out and walk,
Or else I'll doubt my eggs nra egsjs.
And think they are but lumps of chalk.
Then something rnsh and sad befell J
This old hen picked each brittle shell.
And, not so wonderful to tell,
Her treatment, which was very rude,
Killed on the spot her tiny biood I

Of all amusements of tho mind,

There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as "wishing;"
A very choice diversion, too,
It we but rightly use it,
Ar.d not as wo aie apt to do,
Pt rvcrt It, and abuse It,
I with a common wish, Indeed
My purse w as somewhat fatter,
That I might cheer the' child of need,
Aud not my pride to flatter,
And that I might make oppression reel,
As only good can make it.
And break tho tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break It.
I wish that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has Its origin above,
Would come and keep lu fashion ;
That scorn, aud Jealousy and hate,
And eveiy base emotion,
Were bulled fifty fathoms deep
Eeneath the waves of ocean I
I wish that friends were always true,
And motives nlwaj s pure,
I wish the good weio not so few,
I w ish the bad were fewer ;
I wish that parsons no'r forgot
To bted their pious teaching,
I wish that practicing was not
Sodlireii'iit Ironi pleaching.
I wish that modest worth might bo
Appjnlsed witli truth aud candor;
I wish that Innocence were fieo
From treachery and slander;
, I wish that men tht Ir vows would mind,
That women ne'er were lovers;
I wish that wives woio always kind,
And husbands always loverb.

HANI) SHAKIN0.
Tlio hot summer of 1870 must .havo
set ninny peoplo thinking whether It Is
not possibles to Invent somo inodo of
nhitatlon moro convenient than that
of Blinking hands. When tho thermom
eter Is at ninety In tho shade, and when
tho only hopo of escaping n sutistroko
seems to bo to tlrlnlc bo much tea and
to wear so little clothes as shall best
promote perspiration, then tho tyrnuy
of tho social law which compels us to
grnip tho hand of a casual and very hot
acquaintance, and to glvo It tho estab
lished vibtatlon, Is fully felt, and be
comes afinost Insupportable. But Iho
inconvenience of the practleo of shak
lug hands Is not confined to the season
of hot weather only. There is probably
no modo of salutation commonly prac
ticed by nny civilized nation which Is
so encompassed with dllUcultlcs mid
embarrassments. Tho dlfilciilty of ma
king a correct bow is no doubt consid
erable. Thero Is tho dllllculty of know-.
lug how to bow ; how "to draw tho ar
tistic lino between tho unceremonious
nod and tho obsequious obeisance. And
for people who aim nt doing things
in good form tho difliculty of appor
tioning their duo angles of roverenco to
tho different iexes, and to the different
social positions, ages, and degrees of in
timacy of persons in each sex. And
thero is also tho difficulty of knowing
when to bow. But all tlio difficulties
that cluster round the bow, are nothing
compared to thoto Hint encompass tlio
shaking of hands. Tho difficulties of
knowing how to bow aro after nil only
the difficulties which beet tho attempt
to do anything well ; and difficulties of
the same kind, not inferior in degree,
will bo found to besot tho practleo of
slinking hands. As for the difficulties
of knowing when to bow, it is obvious
that they must bo at least doubled in
the case of hnnd-sliaking, for this sim
ple reason, that thntmodo of salutation
requires the consent and co-operation of
two persons to execute it.
If a poison should bo inclined to
doubt whether hand-shaking is a dill!
cult operation, let him consider tho
different modes in which tho custom is
observed among his various friends and
acquaintances. There aro negativo
modes and there aro positive tnodes'of
shaking hands. Thero are, first of all,
tho people who teem tofenr Hint if they
onco givo you their hands they may
never get them back again, and who
matieeuver that you may not possess
yourself of moro than tho tips of your
fingers. This modo of hand-shaking
may be called tipping," and thoso who
use it tippirs. Closely allied to them is
another sort of half-handed-sliakers,
those namely, who uo not clasp your
hand but linger it with two digits. This
modo of shaking hands is sometimes
adopted by men of political and litera
ry notoriety. But it is very apt to givo
ofrenso ; and tho most serious conse
quences havo been known to cnuo
from its having beVn practical hy
young author upon a critic whom ho
had mistaken for a rival writer. These
people, who, falling to give the wholo
hand, nevertheless do not touch your
hand with the tips of their fingers only
hut linger it wltli tlio wlioio or moro
fingers, may bo called Jhiyercrs. Then
thero aio those who givo tho wholo
hand, but glvo it in a limp, llabby man
ner, as it Newfoundland dog gives its
paw. Thcso people seem to think they
havo discharged tho whole duty of
hand-shaking when they have put their
neighbors in possession of their hands
Were It tho custom to iiinko nut adieu
to a dear departed by shaking hands
with his corpse, tho sensation would no
doubt bo very like what wo experience
when wo salttto thepo llabby shakers ;
who, as they use their hands much in
tho tamo way as tho Mock Turtle uses
his Haps, may bocalled jttippers. These
negative modes of shaking bauds aro
disagreeable enough, But the posltivo
modes arostltl moro unpleasant. Among
these tho least distressing Is probably
tlio tnrtisting mouo. Thero aro some
who, when you offer tlicin your hand,
take It; but take it oiily lo put it from
th.em, as if it wcro something common
or unclean. They seize It with quick
decision, as brave children soizo it snap
dragon or an earwig. Thou, by a rapid
thrust fur ward in tierce, they return it
to your side; ami having got it there,
they drop or hout it into space. Thcso
llinutcrt aro a numerous class ; and,
oddly enough, their modo docs not
seem to give so much oll'ons as that of
the tippers and lingerers. Moro physi
cally painful, though ethically less In
jurious, Is tho modo of those who
squeeze. This mode is chiefly prac
ticed by Methodists, by fervid preach
ers of ovangelleal persuasions, and by
other persons of power and piety. Tor
ments aro boiuotinies suffered by small
bonded or rhoumntle men, and by frag
llo women, who havo fallen Into tho
hands of ono of these fervid glants,and
who happen to have rings on their fin
gers when tho cruel clutch Is effected.
But worse oven than this class olsijuee
zers Is that of tho dingers; tho peoplo
who, having onco got hold of your
hand, refuso to let it go, but used it ns
thoy would a button-hole, oras tho An
cient Mariner used his glittering eyo,
to compel you to hear all they havo to
say j giving It nt Intervals littlo pres
sures, motions, or vibrations as a run
ning Accompaniment to'their twaddle.
Of all tho kinds of shakers abovo de
scribed theso dingers aro most undoubt
edly the most pestilential j and when,
as Is occasionally tho case, they comblno
tqucczlng with clinging, they aro sim
ply unendurable, and ought to bo treat
ed as creatures that outrago society.
Thero aro very few people who do not
partake, In a greater or less degree, of
ono or moro of theso faults lu hund-slm-king.
If uny reader has heretofore
been accustomed to think that hand
shaking Is a less difficult form of salu
tation to execute well than a bow, let
him consider carefully, In ono of his
moments of deepest consciousness, his
own modo of slinking hands; and
when ho has douo this, let him consult
a candid friend on tho subject, London
Saturday llcvtew.

Anecdote or .IcH'crson.
A party, Mr. Jefferson, tho President
among them, wcro out riding. A smart
shower had fallen during tho forenoon,
and when they got back to Mooro's
Creek tho water wns running up to tho
saddlo girths of n horso. An ordinary
western looking mnn was sitting on tho
bank with a saddlo In hla hands.
Ho waited until all (ho party had en
tered tho stream but Mr. Jefferson, and
then asked him for a ride ncross. To
rein up to n stone, suffer him to mount,
en croupe; and carry him to tho oppo
site bank, was a matter of course. In n
few minutes tho party In the rear, who
had witnessed tho afialr overtook our
bcsaddlcd pedestrian, stretching nway
at a steady paco nlong tho foot of Cnr-
tor's mountain.
"I say!" quoth ajuuior, "whafmado
you let the young men pass nnd nsk
that gentleman to carry you over the
creek V"
"Well," said Kentucky, in broad pa-
to!s,"If you want to know, I'll tell you;
I reckon a man carries yes or no in his
faco tho young chap's faco said no
the old 'un's said yes."
"It isn't every mnn thnt would havo
asked tho President of tho United
States for n rldo behind him," said the
other, expecting, perhaps to blind tho
bold visago of Kentucky. If such was
his object, however, ho was very much
mistaken.
"Yon don't say thnt was Thomas Jef
ferson do you ?" was tho reply, and ho
Immediately added, "he's a fino
fellow, any way."
"That was the President," wns tlio
response.
Kentucky looked up and looked
around, the locality well known to trav
clers at onco carrying conviction into
his mind. Ho appeared to bo In a
brown study for a moment, tho massive
features then relaxed, ho burst into a
loud fit of laughter, and thus ho spoke
"What do you supposo my wife, Pol
ly, will say when 1 get back to Boone
county, and toll her I've rid behind old
Jefferson ? She'll say 1 .voted for tho
right man."
A Cure lor Drunkenness.
A writer in 1'utnam proposes, as a
cure for the appetito for liquors, brom
Ido of potassium, saying:
Thero is no "tapering off" with tho
dovil. Either ho has got you, or he
has not got you. Tho first part of tho
medical treatment in this physical dis
ease requires tho immcdiato removal of
the patient from all disturbing influen
ces, of whatover nature. Thero must bo
no noisy children about, no quarrelling
women, no scandal mongers pouring
out their distilled venom to jar upon
his nerves and disturb his spirit. He
must havo absoluto quiet and repose.
IIo must tako a two-weeks' holiday and
go to bed, where nothing can trotiblo
him or get at him but ono faithful
fiiend.
Having obtained twelvo twenty-grain
powders of tho biomlde, ho takes ono,
and after a conflict tho sedative wins
the victory, nnd ho sleeps. When ho
wakes tho struggle against tho tasto for
liquor begins again, and another pow
der is taken, and so on, until nt Inst per
fect success and glorious victory nro nt
mined. Tho desire for drink will be
completely eradicated, nnd its return
will not bo likely to occur. During tho
treatment food should not bo taken, un
less urgently desired, and then it should
bo of thu most nutritious character.
Broths of fowl or beef steak, and such
other meats as aro best calculated to
preserve tho touo of tho stomach, aro
to bo preferred.
-A Itn.MAltKAllM: DlSC'OVIIIlY. By
many It has been held ns a theory that
tho Yuma desert was once an ocean bed.
At intervals pools of talt water have
stood for a wliilo in tho midst of tho
surrounding wasto of sand, disappear
ing only to rie again in tho saino or
other localities. A short tlmoslncoone
of thcso sallno lakes disappeared, and a
party of Indians reported the discovery
of a "big ship" left by tho receding
waters. A party of Americans at onco
proceeded to tho spot nnd found imbed
ded lu tho sands tho wreck of a largo
vessel. Nearly ono-third of tho for
ward part of tho ship or bark is plainly
visible. Tho stump of tho bow-sprit
remains, and portions of tho timbers of
tho deck aro perfect. Tho wreck is lo
cated forty miles north of tho San Ber
nadluo and Fort Yuma road, and thirty"
milos west of Los Palinos, a well known
watering placo on tho desert. Tho road
across tho desert has been traveled for
moro than ono hundred years. Tho
history of tho ill-fated vessel can of
courso never bo known, but tho discov
ery of its decaying timbers, in tho
midst of what has long been a desert,
will furnish savaus with food for dis
cussion, and may perhaps furnish Im
portant aid in tho elucidation of ques
tions of science.
Indian Tradition. It Is a stand
ing tradition of tho Niagara Indians,
shared to a great oxtont now by tho
whlto peoplo in tho vicinity of tho
Falls, that tho "Great Spirit," or Thun
derer of Waters, must havo nnnually
four victims sacrificed to his power.
Curiously enough, n year soldoin passes
during which at least four persons nro
not drowned either In tho Falls or tho
whirlpoof below. This year tin old
man of moro than 70 years stepped In
to tho breakers abovo tho Falls, and
losing hs hold, was swept over tho
frightful cataract. At Do Vaux College,
a student, daring his companions to
wado Into tho whirlpool, was sucked
Into its torrlfile eddies, and Instantly
disappeared, to bo seon no moro. A
fow days afterward a drunken father
adventured, with his two children and
a rcprobato companion, into a boat
abovo tho rapids, and In their drunken
orgies tho littlo ones were thrown out
and drowned, though tho two drunken
wretches escaped.

believe nnd proposo to show, that
Paul was actually a married, man, nnd a
strong ndvocato of "Woman's Itlghts."
The Corinthian Church had written to
htm fordlrcctlons upon tho subject of
matrimony In a tlmo of great persecu
tion, and under tho clrcutnstancos ho
scorns to think that for tho tlmo being
tho unmarried had better remain 30.
Euseblu s, Clement, and other historians
speak of Paul as n married man, and
according to tho best historical evidence
wo can get, ho was at tho time of writ
ing this cplstlo a widower. And thus
ho remained true to his dead wife and
admonished other men who had lost
their wives to pursue a similar course
If thero is a woman in America who Is
particularly anxious for her husband to
marry again after her death, wo should
llko to sco her. Tho apostle's "advico
to wives," in tho fifth chapter of Epho-
slans, seems to bo very offonsivo to some
becauso ho admonishes them to obedi
ence. Husbands aro very fond of quot
ing it. If thero is but ono text lu tho
Bible with which they aro acquainted,
it is that; but do you ever hear tho
twenty-fifth verso from mascullno lips?
listen : "JJusbumh love your wives even
as Christ loved the Churet and gave him
self for d" There, gentlemen, is your
rulo of conduct don't forget, and, by
tho way, how do you llko it V Where
is thero a greater lovo than this? and
what an exalted opinion Paul must
havo had of n womnn to deem her worthy
of such affection 1 Rest assured that
obedience will gladly follow n lovo llko
that. When men are honest, loyal, nnd
true when they tendeily lovo and
shield even at the sacrifice of self, then
woman will "honor and obey," with
out any objections or regrets.
Spend Wisely. Look most to your
spending. No matter what comes In,
if moro goes out you will always bo
poor. Tho art is not In making money
but in keeping it ; littlo expenses like
littlo mico in a barn where they aro
many, mako great waste. IItr by hair
heads get bald. Straw by btraw, tho
thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by
drop tho rain comes In the chamber. A
barrel Is soon empty if it leaks but a
drop a minute. When you begin to
save begin with your mouth ; there aro
many thieves down tho red lane.
Tho ale jug is a great waste, all other
things keep within compass. In clothes
choose suitablo and lasting stuff, and
not tawdry fineries. To bo warm is tho
main thing; never mind tho looks
Never stretch your legs further than
tho blanket reaches, or you will soon
bo cohl. A fool may mako money, but
it needs a wiso man to spend it. He-
member it is easier to build two chim
neys than to keep ono going. If you
givo all to back and board, thero is
nothing left for tho savings hank. Fare
hard and work hard while you aro
young, and Iinvo a clinnco of rest while
you nro old.
A itAiLitOAD is projected in Brazil
which is likely to bo of consideraiih
boiiefit to to tho commerco of the Uni
ted Stntes. It is to bo called tho Math I
ra and Mnmrro Hallway, and will ex
tend from San Antonio to Giipjaru-Mo-rim,
a distance of about 170 miles. Its
object Is to furnish tiansporlntion of
goods going to nnd from Bolivia, around
tho falls of tho Madeira river, which
aro an insuperable obstacle to naviga
tion, and now compel traffic to tnko nn
unnatural and expensive routo over the
Andes to Peru. It costs $200 in gold to
carry a ton of freight by this routo from
Europe to Bolivia ; whereas when tho
projected railroad is completed, it will
go by tho way of Paris, costing only
ono-tbird ns much, nnd still yielding a
handsome profit to tho carriers. Tlio
region which will thus bo opened to
American as well as European mer
chants Is highly productive, and con
tains a largo population, so that its trade
will bo extremely valuable.
Whiskey and New'spapeiis, A
glass of whiskey is manufactured from
a dozen grains of corn, tho value of
which is too small for estimation. A
glass of this mlxturo sells for a dime
and if a good brand is considered well
worth the money. It Is drank In a
minute or two. It fires tho bruin, shar
pens tho appetite, deranges nnd weak
ens tho phjsicnl system. Onthosnmo
sideboard on which tho deleterious bev
erage is served lies a newspaper. It is
covered with half a million types. It
brings Intelligence from tho four quar
ters of tho globe. The nowspaper costs
less than a glass of grog, tho Julco of a
fow grains of corn, but It Is no less truo
that there Is a largo number of peoplo
who think corn julco cheap, nnd news
papers dear.
Mining the Countuy. "ThoFrench

Trumphal Arch, but do not Intend lo

huge bariendes built hero and thero
