Love's Dkvicf.s. The Heading (Pa.)
Earfe tells this story : A queer allair was
repotted at the Mayor's oflioe. An elderly
woman, with teats in her eyes, had a
lengthy story to tell of how hard she was
trying to raise her i a.iddaugh'er in the
pth of rectitude. Thus far she had sue- I
Cl.eded very well, tmt the young ffirl was

pany. One of her Sunday school chiss a
young woman was coming around. Of
nilM I had no ohieclioti. It was nine
o'clock before she came. They were ia
the parlor ahuie, and about, ten o'clock I j
thought the ghls were rather quiet. I :
wenTilown stairs softly, went to the key j
hole and listened. Nothing was heatd. I j
then thought to myself that they had slip- i
ped out. I opened Ihe dtr, and what oo j
you think I saw? Theie sat one girl on
1 tho lap of the other girl, and I noticed the .
strange girl had very short lmir. They j
punned when I came In, and upon my j
honor I found out that the oilier woman j
vlui a vontiff man dressed in woman s
clothes. I was so mad I could have scalded 1
him to death, and would have done so had ,
he not rushed out of the house. I Rave .t

THE EASTERN QUESTION IN A XUT SHKI.I,
I This is a street scene in Kars. We don't
know who saw it but we know it was sa:v.
Vrobably some Russian czir it. The cily
is in a state of siece. The gentlemen in
tho foreground, feelins over his head fr
the ground, is a private gentleman in a
I Cossack regiment. He is not feeling very
well. lie is ill. A rtioment ago he met a
' lifteen-inch shell, ami was too busy to get
j out of the way. His stomach, lungs and
swallowing things went on with the shell,
i and lie will never smile and never enjoy a
! square meal again. 1 1 is comrades wish td
: send for the doctor, lledeclines. Ilesays
j he does not need him. He is right.. He
can die without him. The doctor will weep
j when he learns the Cossack is dead. He
will bend over his lifeless foim, and then
, he will weigh it, and put it an item, to the
last ounce, as a tumor he removed from a
i gentleman in iScotx county. Truly, in the
' niitfst of life we are in debt.
j Here is the Uussian general. See tho
I wide landscape stretching away in the dim
distance. Let her stretch it doesn't cost
ns anything. "You cannot see the Hitssian
general for his name, but he is there all I lie
same. You can smell his breath. Ileeats
tallow cardies. This makes him light
hearted. His name Comes in by tho big
rock on the left, follows the couise of tho
meandering brook in the valley, winds
slowly up the mountain side and disap
pears in the direction of Ulpblowitch. Ic
is nine miles long, without the titles.-
When his mother used to call him up to
breakfast, she started at !) o'clock P. Jt.,
took a long breath and talked it oil till
morning.
This is a. telegraph ofuce. The bright
looking young man at the table is a West
ern Union operator. The little brass and
steel thing ticking away on the table is the
instrument. The opeiaor is very easily
div iiiguished from the instrument. He
catinoi talk sti fast as the instrument, but
he can sleep a great deal moie. lie is go
ing to sleep now. The man leaning over
lite Counter is a heartless citizen, who has
the cheek to ask the operator to send a de
spatch for him. The operator takes the
message. Hut he does not. send it. He
hasn'ttime. He loses nine gamesof check
ers -a li'le that Citizen is wondering why he
doesn't, get atiy reply lo his despa ch. Then
Ihe citizen starts out to walk to the place
and see the mam lie finds him, and, soon
after they meet, the "despatch conies along.
The citizen vemembers and recognizes it..
He is affected to tears. Thf operatot finds
him, and chaiges him 40 Cents for sending
the message, 4.") cents for the wear and 'ear
of the instrument, 50 cents for the strain on
nervous system, 50 cents for collecting rates
on message, 05 cents on genet al principles.
He learns afterward that the citizen yet 1
has some money left and he is going back
111 the morning to borrow it of h;ni.
This is Constant O'Xople. He is the
leader of the muscle-men. All the O'No- ;
pies are muscular-men. Constant O'Nople
isn't afraid of St. Petersburg. He isn't ;
even afraid of a bedbug. The sound of the
bubksheesh is heard in the distance. j
This is a Christain martyr in Hnumauia. !
He leans, up against the awnitiij post and
remarks there isn't any use of Koiimania- j
ing around there any longer. He is a book j
agent. He has been kicked down three ;
pair of stairs, chased through an alley, bit
by two docs, been hit by a poker, shipped j
with a bootjack, had a lump raised on him ,
with a barrel stave, been punched into a j
cistern, got lost twice in strange streets, j
been arrested four times on a Charge of ,
vagrancy and on general suspicion, been
chafed, out of town as a swindler, whipped .
by a drayman, robbed of his watch, lost 1
his hat, been called 7811.000 different kinds 1
of names, and sold two books, one of which j
the man took and never paid him for, and
on the other he made a gross profit of 82 i
cents. He is not licit, is this book agent, j
but he is good. 11? -kind to the hi Hik
agent. You may publish a hook of your j
own which you will want sold some day. j
The Isles of (liccee. "The Isles of j
Greece where burning Sappho loved and
sung." The Isles f (iteece were probably i
kerosene isles. The isles where Sappho !
burned were undoubtedly the same kind.
Started the kitchen tire with them. There ;
is the ile in Ihe gallon tin can under the J
table. That, is Sappho shearing at the
stove, because it won't draw, and looking :
for the kerosene. She is going lo make a I
balloon ascension in a few minutes, and, !
j'ist. ;is like as not, she will forget 'o go out j
doors before she stalls up through the rof j
into the blue cerulean dome above. The
aisles where she loved and sung were dif

CofuttSG Usher Pikfut-tties, Tn
the vicinity of one of the small railway
stations in Washoe Valley resided, a short
time ago, a beautiful young lady, who was
greatly admired by all the swains in the
valley. One of ihe fair number w ho were r
greatly infatuated with the fair maiden
was exceedingly annoyed, owing to tho
fact t hat he could never have an opjKrtuni
ty of speaking to the young lady a'one.
f!o whatever night he would, he always
found half a dozen of his hated rivals at
tho house in advance of himself. At
length, glowing desperate, he proposed to
the young lady in the presence of one of
the enemy, and was accepted. Overjoyed
at his success, he asked the young gentle
man to act s second man at the wedding.
The other declined the invitation, saying
very emphatically that if he couldn't be
first he didn't care to be anything. Vir

A. few days since a bold New Bedford
Sea captain and his w ife sailed for Europe
in a boat a little less than two tons meas
urement. Of course he has been called by
every newspaper a very bold ami reckless
man. There is no doubt that these epi
thets right I' belonged to him but, never,
theless, the mere fact that he has attempt
ed to cross the Atlantic in a small sail-boat
does not prove that he is exceptionally
brave. If his boat is properly built for the
special service requited of her, she will
probably carry him safely across the At
lantic. At this season he may expect fresh
westerly breezes, but with the except ion of
a possible thunder-storm while in Ihe (Julf
Stream, he will probably escape any severe
griles. Even if he does meet with bad
weather, he can safely ride it out with a
diag. Ho will be a long time at sea. but
that he will safely reach his port of desti
nation there is litltie doubt. His boat is
better fitted to navigate the Atlantic than
! were the Vessels of Columbtts. and in point
of safety is probably tju'.te the eer of a
modern Atlantic steam ship. Ile is cer
tainly the boldest man now living ; but the
: mere f.sct of his going to sea in a small
boat does not prove him to be such. It is
i when we reflect that he has voluntarily
; shut himself up with his wife forfoity days
; 011 boa id a boat twenty feet long, that we
are compelled to recognize his unique bra
i very, and jierceive in his wife a woman of
I Unexampled and utter recklessness,
j We may grant that the captain and his
j wife are extremely devoted one to another,
' and have hitherto lived together in perfect
peace. Still, they have never tried the ex
periment of living together fotty .lays
I without the possibility of escaping from
one another's presence. While residing in
New lied ford, Ihe captain could always
; walk to Ihe post-office and refresh himself
with cloves whenever there was the slight
est cloud on the domestic horizon, and. in
like manner, his wife could always visit a
, neighbor when her husband showed a dis
, position to express those views in regard to
buttons which have a tendency to cast a
gloom over the happiest home. Whenever
:- the captain sat and silently drummed with
his lingers on the table until his wife felt
i as if she "CoUld perfectly fly," the back
yard wasnlways open lo her, wherein to
j calm her mind by meditating upon the best
; method of inducing the family dog to ab-
stain from hunting moles in Ihe strawberry
j bed ; and when she herself pointed out to
j her husband at too great length his duty
I in regard to splitting kindling wood, he
1 could always affect to see a man disappnar
; ing around the corner who owed him five
i dollars, and whom it was necessary for him
! to overtake without a moment's delay.
; Married people living on shore can always
avoid serious dispute by timely flights.
I When nature placed men's stores and ollices
j down town and their homes up town, .she
! evidently intended to furnish those occa
j pious for the temporary separation of man
; and WlTe which render wedded love possi
ble. It may bo confidently said that there
; is no real necessity for a man to shoot his
I wife, or for a wife to poison her husband,
so long as a man can flee from Ihe shadow
! of the coming stove-lid. and the woman
I can escape to her neighbor's at the first
j crackling that betokens a crash of the
j Third commandment. Of course, this is
not precisely an axiom, but it may be ac
I ceptcd as a rule which in nearly all cases
j may be safely followed.
The New Dcdford captain has laid ill
lull supplies oT food ami water, but it is
impossible for him to provide those, fre
quent absences from the society of wife
which could alone save both him and her
from entertaining homicidal thoughts.
When, goaded by the re fusa! of the galley
fire to burn, she begins an exhaustive an
alysis of the captain's character, and grad
ually shows that he is a brutal, loathsome
tyrant, he will be compiled to listen.
There is not a nook or corner of the boat
to which the clear tones of an earnest wo
man will not penetrate. When, in his.
turn, he finds the coffee somewhat too cold,
and thereupon expresses, with all the re
sources of forcible language at the com
mand of an experienced sailor, the convic
tion that there is no crime, from murder
up to frying beefsteak, of which she is not
capable, she niusf either listen or jump
overboard.
It may be urged that an affectionate
ctiple will never proceed to such lengths
of argument even in the confined space of
a sail boat. Of course, they will not sud
denly and simultaneously perceive each
other's extreme atrocity, but they will
reach that point in lime. For tho first two
days they will be affectionate and happy.
On the third day the captain will find that
a sunburnt nose does not arid to his wife's
attractiveness, and she will ask herself if
it is possible for a wor.1.111 to lespect a man
who uses tobacco. On the fourth day they
f.el sine that married life is a failure, and
before the first week of the voyage is over j
they will even wish they were dead, ll.iv- ;
lug once enteied upon an enterniise which
demands an amount of bravery never yet
displayed by any martied man, the captain
will doubtless bring his wife safe to land,
but as soon as Ihe liMle vessel reaches Ihe
dock a man .and a woman will be seen liv
ing in opposite directions; the man seeking
the shortest route to Siberia and the w ife
taking passage in the first steamer that

Jkisii Wakes. We object fo the "wake
scene" in "The 5hatghrauri," because it
is not consistent. It is a false note in a fine
melody. If Mr. Iloticicault had ever list
ened to the rnione in the country, with its
mournful modulations and impressive wail,
he would not have made the mourner a
ragged old hag, with dress in tatters, hair
and red kerchief pulled over her face, p'qe
in mouth and jug in hand. Such a pres
ence would be considered a dishonor to the
corpse in the poorest hut.
It would have
been as easy to make the scene picturesque
as re ulsive. Let the mourner be robed 111
j ,1 deep blue Munster mantle, or in the scar
: let v'oitnanght cloak, with the hood in
either case drawn over her dishevelled
locks. Then you will have a weird and
wild presence, but a picturesque otic. A
"wake" is not the ludicions thing some
people fancy, who hear only of the occas
ional scandals committed in its name in the
great cities amongst a disreputable class.
. It is an ancient and a sacred custom, prac
ticed by the Greeks, and preserved, by the
Celt from old time. It has a meaning, a
pathos and a poetry wUjcb should not bo

CAJiliUJlt Oi r JiT OLD SICK.
In the year 17t3 there dwelt at Shcpton
Mallet, in the County of Pomersct, Eng
land, an old man named Owen Parfitt. In
his youth he had been a soldier, and had
been in Africa in military, and, as the
townfolk whispered, other capacities. His
temper was violent, and his language veiy
military in character. Although he was
not a popular person, albeit per force inof
fensive. He w as a cripple, able to carry on
the trade (if a tailor for several years, but
at the date nlready mentioned, was Vjuite
helpless. His hof.se was kept by a sister
older than himself, w ho seems to have taken
excellent care of him. As he was not able
to get out of bed without, assistance, his
sister often asketl a young woman, named
S'.isntMiah Snook, to lend her a hand to lift
the old man into a chair while his bed was
being niade.aiid his chair was usually placed
either in the passage or just, outside the
door, that he might enjoy a little air. One
day as the sun was shining very brightly,
the two women wrapped Owen I'-ul'.tt in
an old gray coat and carried him in his
arm-chair out 011 the door step, that he
might sun himself a while. A quarter of
.in hour afterwaid he was gone. 'Ihe
chair remained wl.-evo it had been placed ;
the. old great -coat, was thrown over it ; but
the man was gone-. The filst alarm was
raised by the sister who was found by
Susannah Snook, who hid only quitted her
a few minutes before, crying bitterly fi'r
the loss of her brother. This Susannah
Snook gave her account in the year 1 S-1 4 to
Dr. Hutler, at that time betid mas'erof tho
Shrewsbury School, and afterwards Iiislio,)
of Litchfield, and her evidence was corrob
orated by many persons then living at
Shcpton Mallet, or in the neighborhood.
The sister of Owen Patfitt told her that
aflcr the bed was made and Susannah had
left, she had gone tip-stairs, and 'Mi com
ing (low 11 again, and not beat ing tier broth
er, she called "Owen!"' ''hen there was no
answer, and she went to where she and Su
sannah had left him, and ioimd nothing
but the chair and the old great-Coat lying
upon it. The alarm spread rapidli through
Ihe town, and search was immediately
made everywhere in the neighborhood ; the
roads and fields for a great distance round
were hunted over! alt the wdls and ponds
were diagged, but t no purpose. Notiace
was ever found of Owen EaiHtt. Susan
nah Snook further said that the weat her
had been fair daring the day, but after the
alarm was given il began thundering an.l
lightning, with a heavy fall of lain, which
continued for some time. She herself was
wet through in returning to her house.
Renewed inquiries into this well pttesled
my si ery, says All the Year Round, have
rather deepened than explained it. That
he suddenly disappeared there is 110 man- !
ner of doubt. That his early life had been
of a wild and desperate character is also
certain, for he w as in rcce'pt of no pension
for serving the King, and had most prob
ably fought in Atiiea "lor bis own hand."
No person had the slightest interest in his
death, as his earnings maintained him, and i
his sister had A small allowance from Ihe i
parish. Several old people w ho remember
the circumstances gave the same account
with regard to the chief facts, and particu
hu ly as to the general excitement and up
roar in the town as soon as the alaim was
given, and as to the immediate and car- fill
seaich everywheie made for the missing
man. They all agreed, also, that Owen
Patfitt was commonly placed of an after
noon either in the passage or just outside
the door, for the fresh air. There seemed
to bo no d-mbt that he was and had been a
cripple for years, and also that if bis
strength had been miraculously recovered,
he could have hardly been g-;ne without
being seen. His cottage was 011 a turnpike
road, surrounded by other cottages close at
hand, not one hundred yards from tho .
streets of the town, and he must have
passed along clot hetl only as he had been
taken from his bed. It was a warm Jime
afternoon, the "mowing grass" was about,
and 'he fields were liiil of people; the
town is surrounded not by arable, but by
gras land, almost eveiy where. Half an
hour after he was last seen, the whole dis
posable population of a town, then number
ing between four and live thousand inhab
itants, were in pursuit of him. and if he
had dropped fiom exhaustion he was sev
enty years old ii is almost certain he must
have been found. The seatch was coti
tihued for several d-ays without avail, and
then the good people made up t heir minds,
such as they were. They soon arrived fit
a solution of the imstciy. The day had
been fine Up to the disappearance of Owen
Parfitt, which was followed by a teriific
storm of thunder, ami lightning, and rain.
He had been a wicked jierhaps a fright
fully wicked man in his youth. ' Putting
this and that t.igcthcr,' there could be in.
doubt about the matter. The old soldier,
sailor, slaver, and jiiler h.id been tinted
off by the dev il. j
' A Straxoe Dis mtka kaxce. Strang
disappearances are by no mens uncommon
in these days; but one d tlieso mystei u-s
which, according to a coi respondent of ono
of Ihe German papeis, has occurred in
Russia, is truly staitling. An exp'iss
trnin in thai country, carrying G,0i "V.ikJ
of roubles, not only failed the other day lo
reach its destination, but has altogether
disappeared, without leaving the slightest
traces affording a clew as to what became
of it. That the tiaiu should be stopi-.!
and the money taken is conceivable, but
that the thieves should actually carry oil'
not only roubles, but engine, tender, vans,
Cairinges and all, is so uncanny" an in
cident as to 1 aise ground for suspicion that,
the jxiwers of 'd-iikness have been at work.
At any ih'c the story is a most uncomfoi t
able ore, and it is to !o hop l a new hor
ror is not to be added lo railway tiaveltng
by the total di-appcaianco of tiains. It
may lie imagined ho .v painful a sensat i 01
would be created if the "I'lying Dutch
man," or some other f.ist and famous
train, were never seen or heaid r after
leaving New Yoik or any other Aine.ic in
City. Such a catastrophe, would be, if pos
bible, even worse than a collision. j
! A whiter in Scribner has an
the subject, "How to keep the boys on the
farm." He evidently means we!!, but. he
doesn't touch the point. To keep the
boys on the fatm the faim fhonld I well
