My name la Harrington Hinton. I
believe at one time some of my friends
had serious fears that r would never bn.
ter the State of matrimony. At all events,
each friend knew some one who would
make mesuoh a nice wife. What had I
done to be so unmercifully persecuted ?
X remember one evening I was reques
ted to make myself agreeable to a young
lady, at tbe house of a friend.
“So amiable,’’ said our hostess, and
when presented, I found her all “my
fanoy painted her,” and more also.
Bo much amiability and flesh combin
ed was more than I could comprehend at
one and tbe same time. Notwithstand
ing I was told her father’s money bags
would balance them, I had my own
Ideas on that score, although I kept them
to myself. One may makes good many
points that way through life.
As I have said, X had my own ideas of
a wife, I knew I should And somewhere
In this great world a woman pure as a
snow drop, and modest as a daisy, with
a sweet voice and dainty ways. With
eyes that might flash, yet be controlled

Keller.
Notwithstanding the match-making
propensities of my frler.de, I remained
steadfastly a bachelor until thirty, and
enjoyed heartily my single blessedness.
The ladles will think doubtless that dur
ing this time my garments were without
buttons- and my hosiery with more than
the proper aperntures, but auoh was not
tho ease. Mrs. Vail, my landlady, being
in charge thereof, She was a very nice
housekeeper, and a woman , who had
seen better days, or at least happier ones,
if one might judge from occasional re
marks made by her, and the fact that she
occupied a bouse of her owp—a three
story brick—on a pleasant street, away
from the business part of the good old
city of Boston.
I had breakfast and lea at the house,
but dined down town ; for, being bead
olerk in a large wholesale house, I found
It necessary to look promptly after the
Interests of my employers, considering
likewise I was working for myself, as X
expected to be one of the partners (he
next year.
At Mra. Vnil’e, my room wae the sec
ond story front, and afforded me a good
view of all that transpired in the street,
and as I wae not acquainted with my
neighbors, nor even knew their names,
used to sit summer nights In a comforta-
hie easy chair by the window, smoking
fragrant cigars, building castles In tho
air, and watching the occupants over the
way,
Some one at my elbow says, “ I ougbi
to have been ashamed of myself,” but I
do not know that I have ever regret
ted It.
I discovered that a beautiful girl gli
ded gracefully about the house, in drape
ry (bat seemed to envelop her like a
delicate summer cloud.
I noticed her' little caressing waye
about the loved ones, and of course U
must have been the maiden fair to see,”
whose Voice X heard trilling awayfas only
birds and maldena can.
I am a man who cannot even now re
sist paying homage to every bit of wom
anhood I eee, therefore when this pleas
ure was to be my eveulng’aentertalnment
can you wonder that I remained at
home, nothing else offering any attrao
tlon 7
I ventured to ask one morning who our
neighbors were over the way, whereupon
Mrs. Vail said;
“ Oh! that Is Mr. Forrest’s house.
They have lived there for many years,
for I remember their daughter Grace,
when she was a little, wee thing—she
used to look so sweet In her white frock
and corals, 1 '
I thought to myself she was Just as
sweet now as she was then, If not sweet-
11 X have heard," continued Mrs. Vail,
" that when young, ahe was a aomumu
bullst, but she may have got over It. I’ve
not beard It lately. I’m very little ac
quainted with them, but It's a good thing
to know one’s neighbors, In case of Cr«
or accident happening,” which sensible
remark finished, I roamed In fancy with
the beautiful unknown, while vlaloseof
operas and hair-breadth . escapes were
mingled In delightful confusion.
“ Bather a dangerous young lady to
marry, Mrs. Vail,’’ said I, my dream
being over.

11 Bless mo! you don’t think of marry*
Ine, do you, Mr. Hinton? said oho, hav
ing alarmed—l suppose the thought of
losing me was Insupportable.
"Well, not at present,” said 1., I've
nothing to live on, and, of course, must
have ten thousand a year at first.”
All day long I thought of Qraoe, and
I immediately after lea sought my room
[ and looking glass to take an Inventory
of my personal attractions. I came to
the conclusion that I was a good looking
fellow, and. I’d go in and win—lf I could*
But I must tell you of myself, and leave
you to judge.
I am not what the ladles call a love,
and a perfect little dear of a man. On
the contrary, I am tall, rather stout, with
fair complexion, hazel eyes and brown
hair, that, although out short, will curl
4n spite of fate; a mouth too womanly
for one of the sterner sox, and teeth that
render a smile Irresistible. Mon know
when they are admired.
My business matters wore all right and
there was nothing on. my mind but the
admiration of one of the fairest of New
England’s daughters. -Glorious spring
time of life, flying so swiftly that we
long for the far famed elixir of perpetual
youth and vigor.
I took my post at the window, and ob
(served that the family were moving
about, dressed as If to receive company.
I My heart beat fast with, jealous fear.
Perhaps some lover is expected, or it
might be a marriage.
“Have I then, wasted my time," I
soliloquized, “ while some miserable fel
low: has walked In and borne away the
prize 7”
Just then Grace entered the room more
ever, and very soon the
guests began to arrive.
They danced and sang, and was In a
fine stale of misery as I watched the a 1
tentlons bestowed upon Grace. I wa'i
ed-until every guest had departed, and
satisfied myself there was no whispered
good night for any favored one. After
every light had disappeared I was still
disinclined for Bleep, spite of the mor
rows duties. X sat as If moonstruck,
thinking of the future, and wondering
how I might gain entrance to its, to me,
enchanting portals.
It was past midnight, and I was gaz-
I tig at the innumerable stars eblning so
far away in the deep blue heavens, when
my attention was attracted by the ap
pearance of a ghostly looking figure gli.
ding about over thereof of our neigh
bor’s house.
“ What In tbe name of common sense
Is that?’’ I asked myself, and rubbed
my eyea to see if X mlght-be dreaming;
but no, it was still flitting from one aide
to tbe, other, ae if searching for some
thing lost, but at last came to the ewe
trough, and.depositing it in, turned and
glided away as swiftly as It bad appeared.
I remembered Mrs. Vail's words, and re
solved that the woman X intended to
bestow my name upon should take no
more nocturnal rambles. Concluding I ‘
had seen quite enough for one night, I
sought my pillow and wne soon asleep.
Glancing at the paper next morning,
while waiting for breakfast, my eye fell
on'the following advertisement:
Reward. —Any person giving infor
mation leading to the discovery of a full
eetof coral, taken from the residence of
James Forrest, Chestnut street, will be
liberally rewarded.”
“Now,” thought I, I’ll attend to that
little matter myself, with all the pleasure
In the world.” The fates were at last
propitious. My actions must have been
strange, however, as Mrs. Vail kindly
Inquired If I was ns well as usual that
morning.
Once at my place of business, X re
marked that our neighbors over tho way
had been robbed the evening previous.
“What, James Forrest?” asked one of
the clerks. “Hels a lawyer and has an
office on Court street. He’s a fine old
chap—got a pretty daughter and lots of
tin.”
I decided to call on Mr. Forrest, and
on reaching bis cilice found him alone
and disengaged. I introduced myself
and told him what I had seen, and that
from motives of delicacy for the young
lady I bad not mentioned it, but thought
I would come and Inform him of my
suspicions.
“That you may heartily," said he. "I
can easily obtain the missing articles,
and if you like, I shall take pleasure in
j Introducing you to my family. If not
otherwise engaged, suppose you come
over this evening.’'
Wasn’t I a jolly fellow on leaving that
office? Perhaps I didn’t congratulate
myself that I was naturally of an inqui
sitive disposition. I could not whistle of
course, nor smoke cigars—that was
against the law—so X walked directly
back to my business; trying not to look
too radiant; but I was so kind to my in
feriors that the clerks thought I bad been
imbibing, or bad received a legacy.
I had never had even a passing fancy
for any lady of my acquaintance, and
had thought all women were about alike
as regarded beauty, But the name of
Urace seemed the roost musical in the
world. I repeated it softly over to my
self while dressing for my visit, and
when ready to go, took one more look in
the glass, and called myself an Idiot, for
it occurred to me the admiration might
be all on one side.
I passed tho evening In the presence of
Grace Forrest, and went home more
hopelessly In love than ever. The days
flew like a pleasant dream, and every
evening found me a welcome visitor ut
Mr. Forrest’s house. I found the family
well informed, refined, and of the opin
ion that Boston was the “ Hub" and also
the “ Modern Athens,”
I was Invited to attend church, and
then to drive, whlqh Invitations were
seconded by a blush and smile from
Grace that always settled the question.
One evening after tea, we adjonrned to
the drawing ' room and were chatting
pleasantly when Mrs. Forrest was called
from the room to attend to one of the
younger members of the family, and
soon Mr. Forrest followed suit as uncere
moniously as If I were an old friend.
Was ever snob an opportunity given a
man ? I concluded then and there to
know my fate.
" Grace," said I—l had taken the lib
erty of addressing her thus before—'* did
yon recover the articles purloined from
your Jewel box 7"
“ Oh, you saw that, did you 7 Yes, I
got them, but papa was very quiet about
it, and would say nothing about the re
ward."
••Well,” said I, “ I know something
about that myself, and if I thought. I
should not offend, I might tell you.”
" I know papa would not care," said
Grace, •’ for he told me to find out, if I
could.”
. " I believe then,” said I, “ that I win
claim the reward, as I am the man who
Informed your father of their hiding
place.”
“I am sure I thank you very much,"
said Grace, “ but the idea of offering
you, a reward—”
" Oh, I shall claim orto,” I interrup
ted, growing bold. “It is this little
hand.”
But X shan't tell you how she a»-
swered, or what more was said, only
the old folks opened the door very un
expectedly, while my arm was about
her, and her head upon my shoulder.
I heard some very pleasant words
from Mr. and Mrs. Forrest, but In the
excitement I forgot them.
I flattered myself it was very well
done, and Grace, learning the whole
story after marriage; concluded to pro
menade In future in day-light, and in
full dress.
Care of Our Eyes,
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes, weak for life by the too
frequent use of the eyesight, reading flne
print and doing flne sewing. In view of
these things, it Is well to observe the fol
lowing rules in the use of the eyes i
Avoid ail sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never read by twilight on a very
cloudy day.
Never sleep fjo that on waking the eyes
shall open on the window.
'Do not use the eyesight by light to'
scant that it requires an effort to discrim
inate.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light of a window or door.
It is best to have light fall from above,
obliquely over the left shoulder. Too
much light creates a glare and pain and
confuses the sight. The moment you are
sensible of an effort to distinguish, that
moment stop and talk, walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green;
it would seem that the ceiling should
have a bluelsh tinge, the carpet green
and the walls of some mellow tint.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking do not forcibly open them, but
apply the saliva with the Anger, and
then wash your eyes.and face with warm
water.
How to live Long.—They live
longest, as a class, who live calm and
even lives, mentally and physically,
who are most exempt from the tur
moils and shocks and strains that are
incident to human existence, and are
assured of to-morrow’s bread. There
is no one thing that has such a direct
influence in promoting longevity as an
assurance, felt to be well-grounded, of
a comfortable provision for life for all
ordinary wants of our station. Not
long ago a man died in the poor house ;
in England, where ho had been taken
care of for ninety years; he had no
anxiety for to-morrow's bread; he had
no quarter’s day to provide against, in
default of which wife' and children
would be turned into the street from
the doors of the elegant brown mansion.
He had no notes to meet in 'the bank,
which, if not paid by the day or hour,
would involve protest and financial
ruin, Ah, this load of doubt I how it
grinds one’s manhood to powder—how
it shames a man’s honor—how it has
driven to desperation, to drunkenness,
to suicide, to murder! How the an- '
guish of it takes the energy and health
out of a man, and makes him pine and
languish for weary days and weeks on
beds of thorns, that pierce through the
body into the soul! So one good way
to avoid sickness and premature death
is to avoid debt as you would the evil
one.
■ Family Govbbsment.— The chief dlf.
lioulty in family government arises from
the fact that so few parents ever learn to
govern themselves. It was said of old
that “he who ruleth his own spirit is
greater than he who taketh a city.” The
fact Is, that the ruling of bis own spirit is
about the last accomplishment ever ar
rived at by mortal man; and the remark
is equally true as to mortal women.
Bence, the government of children Is
poor enough,' as n general thing. In fact,
it is, in many cases, no government at
all, but simply the venting of some
father’s or mother’s or teacher's spite
upon a obild who has done something to
stir up the evil paSslons of one’s nature.
Boms say that the more they punish
their children the worse they seem to
grow. That may very well be, If parents
punish them because they are annoyed
or angered at something they have done.
A parent should never punish a child ,
when he is the least bit “put out’’with
it, or for any reason whatever except the
highest good of the child itself.
A City of 'Women.
In the neutral part of the capital city
of Bandkok, In Siam, reside about nine
thousand women, among whom no man
but the king may enter. The Inhabitants
of this Inner city are the thousand wo
men of the royal harem, and some eight
thousand more, who are soldiers, artifi
cers, and slaves. This little world la
ruled by women, as magistrates, who ad
minister the laM'sof the kingdom. There
Is no appeal from their decisions. If a
disturbance arises it is suppressed by a
force of 600 Amazons, trained from In
fancy to the u sir of the sword and spear.
Meanwhile the slave women carry on a
variety of manufactures, or go outside the
walls to till the fields. The women of
higher birth »ro “ sealed” to the king,
the slave women may marry, but their
husbands dwell outside the walls. The
children, II boys, are banished from the
city of womro when at six years of age;
only the girls remain. All the oriental
distinctions of rank are scrupulously ob
served vrtthlnthls strange realm, except
that tbo magistrates are ohosen for per
sonal character and wisdom.
“Don't trouble yourself tostretoh your
mouth any wider,” said a dentist to a
man who was extending hla Jaw fright
fully, "us I Intend to stand outside dur
ng the performance.”.
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER T, 1873,
ins JMCEST WIDOW IN THE SLUE O BASS 11EOXOE
Not far from the Forks at Elkborn
lived (he pretty little widow Fauutleroy,
and, one of her nearest neighbors was
Gen. Peyton. The General had looked
upon the little widow very much as he
did upon his blooded horse Powhattan—
"the Unset horse, elr, In the Blue-gross
region.”
The pretty Mrs. Pauntleroy had been
a widow for more than a year, while the
General, having a great regard for eti
quette, had waited patiently for that
time to elapse, in order to declare him
self. But the widow, with her woman’s
art, kept her lover at bay, and yet she
kept him in her train. 0
Be had escorted her to this barbecue,
and when returning had expressed hie
satisfaction at the prospects of General
Combs and the success of the Whig
party.
The widow took sldea with the Democ
racy, and offered to wager her blooded
saddle-horse, Gypsoy, or anything else
in her place against Powhattan, or any
thing else she might fancy on the Gen
eral's place.
The General’s gallantry would not al
low him to refuse the wager, which he
promptly accepted. By this time they
had reached the North Fork of Elkhorn,
and were about to ford it (bridges were
not plentiful in those days) when John
Peyton, the General’s only son and heir,
came up at a sharp gait behind them.
The widow turned and bowed to John,
and rode out into the stream, but a llttto
behind her companion. The east bank
was very steep, and required the heroes
to put forth all their strength to reach
the top with their loads.
As luck would have it, good or ill, the
widow's girth broke just at the com
mencement of the steep part. The lady,
still seated on her, saddle, slid swiftly
back into the water, while her horse
went up the bank like an arrow.
John Peyton leaped from his horse, -
and in an instant caught the floating lady
and saddle, and before the General had.
received from his astonishment, was at
the tOBo of the bank with his burden.
The widow was equal to the occa
sion, for she begged the General to ride
bn.and stop her horse, which had now
begun to understabd his part In the mis
hap, and was beginning to Increase bis
gait toward home.’
The General did as he was bid, and
soon returned with the horse. In the
meantime John Peyton had secured his
own horse, and when the General came
back with the widow’s horse, she and
John were laughing merrily over the ri
diculous accident, but w bat passed be
tween them is only known to them
selves.
John Peyton repaired the Broken girth,
fastened the saddle again on the horse,
placed the lady In her seat, bade her good
evening, mounted bis horse, and taking
another road down the Eikhern, rode
rapidly home, leaving the General to es
cort the widow.
It is not necessary to relate how he en
tertained his fair companion with pon
derous anecdotes of Mr. Clay and ether
famous public men ; but when be reach
ed the Fauntleroy place, he accepted the
lady's invitation to dismount and take
tea with her.
After having changed her wet clothing,
the pretty widow entertained her guest
with the brightest smiles and some new
songs.. The General was delighted, and
expressed delight as Kentucky gentlemen
of that day would have done. “You are
the finest songstress, madam, in the
Blue-grass region.
When he bid her good night and shook
handsjwith heron the porch, the wicked
little widow gave his hand a little
squeeze—only a little—but It thrilled like
au electric ebook through bis great, pon
derous frame, while she laughingly re
minded him of his wager. That night
in his dreams, the little widow Fanntle
roy was repeated so often, and lu.ao many
bewitching forms, that he resolved to
propose to her at their first meeting, nor
did he dream that he could be refused.
The next morning a letter from his to
bacco factor called Gen. Peyton to Louis

contest in the Ashland district was over;
and, wonderful to relate, John C. Breck
inridge, the young Democrat, was elected
to Congress.
Gen. Peyton was both astonished and
Indignant. “Mr. Clay’s district, elr, the
finest Congressional district in the Blue
grass region, has disgraced itself, sir,’’
was almost his first remark to his neigh
bor, Col. Beaufort.
To his son John be communicated his
intention of bringing Mrs. Fauntleroy to
adorn the head of the table.
“Sir, she is the finest lady in the Blue
grass region, and I hope, sir, you will al
ways respe6t your future mother."
John, with a quiet smile, assured him'
that he was pleased with bis choice.
This pleased the General highly, for be
bad been a little afraid John would ob
ject to a stepmother younger thou him

Tbe next morning the General ordered
Fowbattan brought out and led over to
Mrs. Fauntleroy’s. Calling John here
quested him to go with him to call upon
Mrs. Fauntleroy.
“Tho Whig party has disgraced Itself
Id Mr. Ciay'a district, air, and I am com
pelled to part with tbe finest blooded
horse In the State to pay my wager with
that lady, air."
The black boy bad led Fowbattan to
the bitching rail In front of Mre. Faunt

gone Into tbe quarters to tell bia brothers
and sisters of their mistress’ great good
luck in having won tbe famous horse

When Gen. Peyton and John arrived,
they found the pretty widow and two
young lady friends in the yard'admiring
Fowbattan.
The ladles were la high glee, and after
the usual salutation, the gentlemen were
nvlteil to take seats on the porob, which
they did.
“Madame,” said the General to Mrs.
Fauntleroy, “ I have come like a true
Kentucky gentleman, to pay the wager I
have lost. Powhnttan, madam, la right

“ Hut, General,” said she, " I believe
the wager Is conditional. It was the

LOVE'S liTOAOT,
Let the Beard Grow; —There are
more solid inducements for wearing the
beard long than the mere improvement
of a man's personal appearance, and the
cultivation of such an aid to the every
day diplomacy of life. The hair of the
mustache not only absorbs the moisture
and miasmi of fogs, but it strains the
air from the dust and soot of our great
smoky cities. It acta also in the most
scientific manner, by taking heat from
the warm breath as it leaves the chest
and supply It to the cold air taken in.
It is not only a respirator, but with a
beard entire we are supplied with a
comforter as well, and these are never
left at home like tho umbrella, and nil
other such appliances, when they are
wanted. Mofft and Livingstone, the
explorers, and other travelers say that
at night no wrapper can equal the beard.
A remarkable fact is, too, that the
beard like the hair of the head, protects
against (he heat of the sun—lt acts as
the thatch does to the ice bouse; but,
more than this it becomes moist with
perspiration, and then by evaporation
cools the skin. A man who accepts
this protection from nature may face
the rudest storm and the hardest win
ter. He may go from tho hottest room
into tho coolest air without dread ; and
we verily believe he might sleep In a
morass with impunity —at least his
chances of escaping the terrible fever
would be better than bis beardless
companions.— American Artisan.
A poor Irishman passing through a

The pretty widow blushed to tho tips
of her Ungers when she said, "you hove
another and superior animal here—your
son John; if he would but use his tongue
I think I shall ohoose him.”
There was a moment ot dead silence,
then a laugh, In which the General did
not join.
He rose, and in his blandest manner
bade the ladles good morning. To John
he said, "Sir, you will remain.”
And that was the way that John Pey
ton came to marry the pretty, widow
Fauntleroy.
Gen. Peyton never forgave his pretty
daughter-in-law her practical-Joke. In
after years he used to say :
"Sir; she Is the flneet lady In the Blue

Is Poverty a Grime ?
If poverty is a crime then there are
many criminals,for many are too poor
to live In any sort of decent comfort.
The standard of honesty and excel
lence, in the minds of many men is
money. Give an individual pio’nty of
money, fill his barn full, and examine
his title papers to .broad acres of land
on which no mortgage lies, and what a
multitude of faillts are hidden beneath
these things I Wealth hides more sins
than anything else. “He was a poor,
but an honest man." Ah, there it is
" poor but honest,” they say, as if the
two conditions are rarely allied. And
that’s the way the world feels towards
poverty. Crime and poverty go hand
in band la the minds of too many of
If men would learn to honor and
trust each other lor their intrinsic
worth—their wealth of mind and soul
-their talent, genius, Industry, sobrie
ty, etc., be be rich or poor, and a low
estimate were placed upon each other
for their wealth of purse, we should ail
be happier, wiser and better. Genius
would oftener be rewarded, and better
appreciated. “ Poor, yet honest" men
would bo stimulated to higher exer
tions, A man should be honored and
applauded for, what he is not lor what
he has. It was not your men of wealth
who gave to the world your steam en
gine, the telegraph, the sewing ma
chine, and thousands of other scientific
inventions, which have revolutionized
the whole civilized world; but men of
poverty, who lived in obscurity, under
the ban of reproach on account of such
poverty. It has ever been thus ; and
we fear will continue to be so, for man
by nature is ungrateful, and money
rules the world.
A Ghost Story.—a correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette writing from
Portsmouth, Ohio, reports a, prodigy
worth noting. As the story goes Moi
lie Sullivan, a courtesan, recently died
in Portsmouth, and after her death a
German woman living near by, called
pnblic attention to the astounding fact
that Mollie’s ghost could be seen from
the [street, seated behind one of the
windows of her former residence. Soon
thousands of people had visited the
spot, and looking up from the street
had seen the apparition. The corres
pondent of the Oazette has seen it also
os from one point of view it showed
only as the general outline of a face,
the flow of the hair and the curve of
the eyebrows being well defined, while
from another, distant from it about
fifty feet, he could see the color of the
dress—dark ground-work with white
spots—a bow or locket on the bosom ;

nearly facing the window and some
person or thing standing behind

ture. The pane of , glass has been re
moved, but does notseem to differ from
any pane, nor can tho likeness be seen
from within the room. As it is sup
posed that Motile was murdered there
is great excitement In the town, and
strenuous endeavors are made to find
out who the person standing behind
her may bo. The glass should be care
fully examined, aa it may show some

ZiO I THE BIG INDIAN !
He Elopes With a White Man's Wife.
[From tfio Detroit Free Press.]
Borne few weeks since an Indian
known among steamboat men us "Hank
Clay,” but whose original Indian name
could have been nothing short of Thun
der-and-Idghtning, or some other appel
lation signifying that be waS'up to snuff,
was found at the corner of Hastings and
Atwater streets so sick that he could
hardly stand. The crowd was proposing
to send him to the Marine Hospital,
when a mechanic named Whitley,- living
on Woodbtidge street, east, came along.
He ascertained that "Hank” had about
seventy dollars with him, and offered to
take him to his bouse and care for him
at the rate of four dollars per week.
Clay consented to ;go, and was taken off
In an express wagon. He was ill for
about two weeks and received three or
four visits from a doctor, but at length
was pronounced all right. If one were
writing a dime novel it would be proper
to say that Hank Clfty and Mrs. Whitley
loved at first sight, and perhaps they
did. At any rate they got up an affection
for each other, and last Thursday even
ing looked at one another so lovely across
the supper table that the husband rose
up in bis wrath, and he told Hank Clay
to go out Into tho wldo world and never
darken his dooragaln. Hank Clay went.
He didn’t utter a war-whoop, draw a
tomahawk or execute any scalp-dance on
the door-Step, but be got under bis hat
and got over the threshold.
Saturday evening lost Mr. Whitley
came home, dreaming of a cheerful lire
and a panfull of snow apples, and bo
found the house dark and lonesome. He
called “Virginia” several times, but only
the mournful yowl of a cat on the line
fence answered bis calls. He soon ascer
tained that the wife had packed her out
fit Jnto two valises, and that she and
Hank Clay had been seen at the Detroit
and Milwaukee depot waiting for a train
to bear them toward the setting sun. He
rushed down there, but the train was rol
ling on, and bis batbs and exclamations
only collected a Jeering crowd. The
wronged had a brother in Chicago, he
telegraphed as follows
, “ Wife Is running nwny with Ik cussed Indian.
Bo at depot with officer to catch her. Kill the
Indian and lock up Virginia till I come,”
Whether the pair were caught or not
basnet yet been ascertained, but Whitley
sold a watch and some Jewelry to get
money to take the trail, and he’ll have
Hank Clay’s scalp If the stamps bold
out.
The Sacredness’ op Marriage
For the man and woman who purely
and truly love each other, and are guid
ed by the law, of justice, marriage Is
not a state of bondage. Indeed, it is
only when they become, by this out
ward acknowledgement, publicly a
vowed lovers, that freedom is realized
by them in its full significance’ There
after they can be openly devoted to
each other’s interests, and avowedly
chosen and Intimate friends. Together
they can plan life’s battles, and enter
upon the path of progress that ends
life’s eventide. Together they can seek
the charmed avenues of culture, and,
strengthened by each other, can brave
the world’s frown In the rugged heav
en-11 t path of reform. Home, with all
that is dearest in the sacred name la
their peaceful and cherished retreat,
within whose sanctuary bloom the vir
tues that make it a temple of benill
cence.
Falsa Pride.
There are very many young ladies, ol
limited means, in large towns, who
would gladly employ their leisure hours
in some way that would prove remuner
ative to them, If they could do so with
out the fact of their being employed be
ing made known outside of their own
family circles. Bather than- this, these
fastidious girls will submit to many pri
vations, and pass hours of .each day in
listless idleness that ought and could be
put to profitable use. Another of the
results of this false pride is the fostering
of spirit of idleness, which almost com
pletely unfits them for which devolve
upon them after marriage. Hence the
many unhappy marriages growing out
of a want of familiarity with household
duties, and a positive disinclination to
perform them. The young lady who
permits herself to bo persuaded that any
honest occupation is disreputable, fails
Into serious error, and especially so
where health, comfort and possibly do
mestic happiness depend upon it, as is
frequently the ease.
“ Wiut is the reason that men nev
er kiss each other, while the ladies
waste a world of kisses on feminine
faces,” said the Captain to Gussie the
other day, up at Normal.
Gussie cogitated a moment, and
then answered, “ because men have
something better to kiss, and the wom
en haven’t,”
The Captain “ saw it,” immediately,
•‘Whatever God made Is perfect,”
said a Western preacher.
"What do you think of me ?” said a
hunchback rising and exhibiting big
own deformity.
"Why, that you are as perfect a hunch
back as I ever saw.
A parsimonious sea captain answer
log the complaints of his men that the
bread was bad exclaimed ; •' What I
complain of your bread that is made of
flour! What do you think of the
Apostles? They ate shew bread made
from old boots and shoes.”
A wag seeing a lady at a party with
a very low necked dress, remarked in
a very audible voice: “She really
• outstrips’ the whole party,”
A smart young clerk, hearing It
stated by a lecturer that a man is mere
ly a machine, remarked:
“ Then I suppose an attorney may bo
said to be a suing machine.”

[From the Country Gentleman.]
apples! foe market.
. I am convinced that it will not bo
i amiss to suggest that farmers will con-,
1 suit their interest by growing more
I winter apples. Insetting trees to grow
; market fruit, they should choose very
i few, and in most cases not any of the
1 early and fall varieties. Comparative
ly there is a largo otter supply of such
apples now; when there is a good crop
of apples, the markets are fairly glutted
with such early fruit. This season,
according to the market reports, a good
many have sold in New York for 25
and 50 cents per barrel, barrel included;
and doubtless a large share of the early
fall fruit has not sold for enough to
more than pay freight and other char
ges, and the coat of the barrel, leaving
the producer nothing for the fruit.—
The perishable nature of such fruit de
mands a quick market, as it cannot bo
hold for a turn in prices; consequently
a glut runs prices down in a hurry, for
dealers will sell cheap rather than lose
their fruit. Besides, they are always
ready to take advantage of anything
that enables them to buy cheap of the
producers. Honco both country and
city dealers like to glut the markets
with perishable fall fruit, and thus re
duce prices to very low rates, in order
to start the market for winter apples as
low as possible. This practice has been
more generally brought into play with
in a few years than ever before ; and it
is not at all unlikely that winter fruit
has been, and perhaps may be this sea
son reduced a dollar a barrel in this
way. If only half a dollar is lost.lt
■ will doubtless fully offset all the profit
realized on fall fruit. Henco I have
little doubt that; if not one bushel of
fall apples was sold, farmers would re
ceive mote for the apple crop, as a
whole, than is now realized. If this Is
the case, the fall crop is a positive dam
age, as the labor of growing, gathering
and marketing it is all lost.
Now this need not be the case; the
farmers have the remedy in their own
hands, and it is not difficult or expen
sive. It is merely and only to graft
over from half to two thirds of their
fall apple trees to good market varie
ties of winter fruit.. In many cases the
producer should only save sufficient fall
fruit for his own use, or to also supply
a reliable and desirable demand in his
vicinity. There is more risk in depen
ding upon distant markets for such
fruit. Those who grow full apples for
New York and other largo markets,
should only save or select those varie-
ties that, while tljey are good bearers,
are most in demand and bring the best
prices. Then fail fruit will pay, winter
fruit will bring better prices, and there
will bo more of it to sell. So, for these
three reasons, the income from the or
chard will bo largely increased.
And then winter fruit must not nec
essarily bo hurried off to market and
into consumption as soon ns it Is ready.
There are five or six months in which
markets and consumers may bo found.
This gives time to send it to distant
points. All ot tho principal cities and
towns in tho Southern States may be,
and should be, supplied with choice
winter apples from tho North. Great
Britain should also bo supplied with
choice American apples. All reports
go to show that England has the light
est crop of apples that has been grown
in a good many years. This affords n
good opportunity to largely introduce
our fruit there. Apples are, and no
doubt will be cheap hero; they should
bring a good price there. This should
lead to an extensive trial of our choice
Western New York and other apples in
that country.
As to .varieties, it is Impracticable to
give a selection that will suit all parts
of the country. In Western Now York
dealers soy the heat market varieties
are Maiden’s Blush and Twenty Ounce
apples, for fall apples, and Rhode Is-
land Greening, Baldwin and Boxbury
Russett for winter fruit. Judged by
the demand, it is said the Rhode Is-
land Greening stands very much ahead;
the Roxbury Russet is , mainly grown
because it will keep until other varie
ties ate gone, and then bring a high
price. In other sections pains should
be taken to ascertain and plant, or
graft, tho best and most profitable va-
rleties for market,
Best Time to Paint Houses.—Tho
best time for painting the exterior of
buildings is late in autumn or during
the winter .months. Paint then ap
plied will endure twice ns Jong as when
applied in early summer or in hot
weather. In the former it dries slowly
and becomes hard, like a glazed surface,
not easily affected afterwards by tho
weather, or worn off by the beating of
storms. But in very hot weather tho
oil in the paint soaks into the wood at
once, as into a sponge, leaving the lead
nearly dry and nearly ready to crumble
off. This last difficulty, however,
might in a measure be guarded against,
though at an increased expense, by first
going over the surface with raw oil.—
,By painting in cold weather, one an
noyance might certainly bo escaped,
namely, the collection of small flies on
tho fresh paint.
New Uses for Paper.— Paper has
now been applied to the manufacture
of cuirasses, and other protections for ,
soldiers, having a better resisting pow
er to pistol bullets, spent rifle balls and
sword cuts, than Iron, It is now sug
gested to protect ships with paper ar
mor plates, which ate claimed to bo
equal to Iron in resistance and but a
fraction of the weight. A recent in
vention has supplied the long needed
want of water proof paper, which is
made by dipping paper in an nmmoni
acal solution of oxide of copper, fol
lowed by pressing and drying, Paper
molded into any form can thus bo
made water proof. Its applications are
almost innumerable.
