Whether It Is easier for a man to suffer the pains and tortures of misplaced affection, Or take all bis troubles In his arms, And, by espousing, end them t To wed, to marry , No more. To lake a woman to get rid of her. To say we end all Jelousies and doubts. And writing sonnets to your mistress' eye. browj And carrying shawls and sending Bostou rosebuds, And moonlight rambles, and the msnu facturo 01 airy nothings Into long lore letters That ring the endless changes upon amor j Itoma, Tor instance, Omar, that's a caliph J Roma (which we can't do), and Iho rest. To wed, perchanco to wish you hadn't. Aye, there's tho rub: for the impossibility When we have wrapped us in Ibis marriage coil, Of gelling unwrapped there's the respect Might make calamity of married life. For who would bear tho whips and scorn of tongue, The Caudle lectures, tie cold Monday din. ners, Tho worry with the servants, the delays of dressing, The smiles to previous lovers, the sharp questions As to where we were last evening When he himself might bis quietus got What a nightlatch key. Who would for dels bear? Tho grunt and groan about your washer woman. Ypur mussy room, your shirts miij buttons, And all tho miseries of forlorn bachelors, lJul that the dread of something after mar riage That undiscovorcd country, from whoso boredom No traveler returns puzilcs the will And makes us rather bear tho bachelor's evils, Than fly to others that we know not of Thus woman's censria recti makes us cow ards all. APflVTED. How dilTcrent people oppcor at dilTercnt times; as, when wo are sick or well, rejoic ing or mourning, laughing or weeping I A few days elnco I met an old lady who nod- dcd;ycry familiarly tome, and jot I hesi tated to call her by name, lest I should mis call it. Bho looked old, and yet youug; soft and smiling, and yet wore stern frowns. She was fair in face, yet her hands wcro iron'. It seemed as if the wind would blow her awoy, and yet she moved' with the strength of an elephuut. ' "Why, sir," said she, 'fyou seem to stare at me, though you have seen me a thousand times before." "That may be, madon; but I never saw you so loaded down with all sorts of things. I am curious to know about them. .Would it be rude if I should ask you a few ques tions?" "Not at all; ask away." "Well, what aro you going to do with those small, thin, ladies' shoes ?" "Why, make the ladies wear them, to be sure." "Not in this cold, wet season? Why, I can scarcely keep my feot warm in these thick, double-soled boots. I must have overshoes. How can they wear such thin, cold-catching shoes'" "Oh, sir, I havo only to bring them, -and the dear creatures put them on, and never hesitate a moment. They' know me " "And those little half-drcsscs, hanging on your arm?" 'Tbey aro to put on little children, in cold weather, or to walk out in naked at the knees, naked at the neck, and scarcely covering half the body. You can't think how cogcr parents are for these dresses." "What have you in this littio tin box?" "Ijozenges, sir troches, boarbnund candy things that always go with thin shoes and thin dresses. And this bright red box, sir, contains what is called "conscience-salvo,' which I always keep on hand to rub on the conscience when any one feels that he has done wrong in obeying me. It's in greot demand, sir, and a certain cure." "What is in that bundlo, madam ?" "This ? a few knick-knacks, which I some times distribute In tho Sabbath schools, In the shape of dialogues, speeches things to make people laugh, and to prevent the school from feeling too serious or thinking too much aboutreligion. You must under stand, sir, that I continually have to attend church, to regulate things there, and see that tho bonnets are right, the rings are bright, and the dresses complete; yet relig ion itself I hato as poison I And here is a box of tho finest what shall I call it? It is a sort of wit and smartness, which I deal out to preachers, with which they spice their sermons, and become popular. I sell them by the gross. They ara growing in demand, and they are a real saving of con science and heartache. Warranted to keep in' any climate a kind of sensation pow der." "Fray, madam, what are those screws for ?" "Why, to pinch the feet and make them look small, without regard to corns and bunions. They can't wear those desr little shoes, except you bare these pincers to go with them." "And that great heap of books In your arms?" "Thoso? They are the latest, most ex citing, and the weakest and most silly novels. Sol I hand tbem out, and shako my bead with a smile, and crowds read them." "Well, madam, I'm very inquisitive, I know, but I do want to know what you have in that great bag thrown over your shoulder?" "A great variety of valuables such things as 'late suppers' In great demand, and which send people to the grave esrly, and thus make room for more. Then, there are 'late hours' and Male rising,' and all manner of hair-dressing, and erpensive dressing things that ladles must have, even If their husbands fail. Here are diamond pins and rings just the things to stir up envy and creato extravagance. Here are gold watches, cigars, meerschaum pipes, gold-headed canes, eye-glasses, and all mannor of things to suit all manner of people. And I laugh and coax and frown and command, till I get thera lo wear and use them, aud do Just what I pWai. Ndw, I bar just stofpad to talk with you a few moments, don't you see what a crowd have gathered round me? low necks, thin shoes, muslin dresses, tight boots; some on crutches, some cough ing, some breathing short, all crowding to get near me; and when I move you will see how they all run and rush and crowd after me. Ob, s'r, I am the groat power of the world. I rule kings and queens, beggars and philosophers. Don't you see ?" "Truly, madam, truly. And now may I ask your name?" "Name I Fashion, sir; my name is Mrs. Prevailing Fashion I I thought everybody knew me 1" nr. KNEW HOW TO TRAVEL. We were rumbling merrily along to Put nam, Connecticut, when tho new man got on. I think he got on at Walpole. He cur ried a valise, a blanket rolled up in a shawl strap, a cane, an umbrella and a book. Ho wore a plaid suit and a silk hat, and a polo cap was rolled up in bis ulster pocket. In one of them, that is, for tbey were legion He earned his wax matches in a little pock. et on his right cuff, His little caso of genttn cigarettes in a little pocket just below the handkerchief pocket ; his card case In a lit. tie pocket near the right hip, then there were three other unasslgned pockets on the right bresst and twojother mysterious pock ets on tbo left side of bis ulster. Then I think thero wore two pockets on tlio back of that wonderful garment, just below tho shoulders, but I will not be positive. His ulster was belted in with a belt that might haye done duty on the big pully in a saw mill. He parted his beard in the middle, combed his hair low on bis fnrhead, was very broad across his back, and had a voice as big as his ulster. He paused beside me and looked down at me. "This seat occupiedsir ?" And hn said sir like a regular army officer, with an impressive pause between it and the rest ol the sentence, a pause just about as long as the regular army officer usually occupies in saying "Hess you," or words to that indirect effect. "No, sir," I said, timidly, and then with a feeble attempt at cordiality, I added, "sit down, sir." "Sir," said the new man, "I Intend to. I generally find a seat if the car is crowded, or I tell people what I think about it." And then he sat down, partly on the seat and partly in my lap, crushing mo up against the window. lie put his silk hat in the rack and the polo cap down over his manly brow; he stood his cane and umbrel la up in my end of tho scat and set his valise upi n my feet. Then he folded bis arhis so that one of Ms great elbows Janimed'iiself into my cheek, and then he looked comfort able. Once in a while he would suddenly feel In his pocket for something, and every time he did so, thst elbow went cruising up and down my ribs like a street crusher. In one of theso sudden disturbances I ventured, with a feeble effort at timid sar casm to "hope thst I didn't incommode him?" "No, sir 1" ssid the new man, with con siderable italics ; "no, sir, I'd let you know very quickly if you did, sir. I'd tell you what I thought about it." Prceontly he took out his little cigarette case, and a neat little meerschaum bolder and made preparations for the comfort of a smoke, but the brakeman touched his shoul der and told him ho must go forward to the smoking car. "Isn't this the smoking car?" yelled the now man, nearly grinding mo to powder as he turned to taco tho brakeman. "No, sir;" replied that functionary, very airily, "this is a ladies' car." "Well, by jove," said the new man, "I took it for the smoking car, and not a very nice one at that. It looks, like a smoking car, and the people in it like the people I generally find in a smoker." And then ho ground, around toward me again and said : "I'm an old traveler, and when I don't like anything I tell what I think about it.' That is where you'll generally find'me." I wanted to say something smart, but somehow or other I couldn't think of any thing very appropriate just then, so I held my peace, and nerved my wroth against not only the new man, but tbo fat passenger, whom I could hear behind me making pleas ant remarks about my position. By-and-bye we stopped at some station where thero was a great Concord stage waiting, and tho new man wos one of the first pnssengors to rush out, saying he would havo a box scat or they'd hear what he thought about it. Well, I guess he got it. lie was climbing up over the forward wheel, roaring at the apathetic driver to take his valise, when the train started and the noise frightened the horses, and they made a plunge. The new man stepped on the wheel and was thrown headlong on the ground, snapping his um brella and cane in tho spokes ol the wheel as he fell. His hat rolled off, his valise fell in front of the wheel, which passed over it, and two or three men, making a rush for the horses, stepped on his bat. I couldn't get my window up in time to cheer, but the sad passenger got his head out, and as the train moved off the crowd around the coach and the new man was thrilled by a tender, insinusting voice, that came singing back from tbo car window with a melancholy In tonation : "I ssy, tell 'em what yon think about it!" BurliHglon UawUyt. INDIAN CIlll.nitEN. A comical characteristic ol Indian chil dren is the excessively protuberant abdo men and the thin legs and arms; a fat, chunky boy or girl, is a rare sight among these people. Though the boys haunt tlio streams and lake branches throughout the spring, summer and autumn, swimming tbetein like ducks, and as often as beavers, yet tbey always appear begrimed, oily, and dirty, they never have any trouble with their hair, and it matters little to them or their friends whether the frowsy topknot is ever combed, parted in the middlo or at the side, or parted at all; tbey troop about the village, now rollicking, now cowering like so many monkeys. Tbo eyes of an average Indian boy are small and black, they are prominent, without vislblo eyebrows; large eyes are despised, becauso it is claimed they are week and timid, therefore, a handsome boy must have small jetty optics, large mouth full of stout teeth, and a deep chest; while the handsomest girl is the strongest ot her ago. Tbe pappoose, after being weaned, for the next Sve or six years keeps about,tts mother, ot abuses an older siirsr, If hi tasi can be payi earnest and prompt attention to meals, and is seldom seen without something in bis mouthi he rolls contentedly In the ashes of tbe fire, and spends hours during these tender years In toasting over the coals little strips of meat or fish Impaled on twigs or forked sticks; he becomes early known to all the dogs in the village, and attaches him self to some favorite one or two of them which receive all tho fresh bones ond other dainty morsels that ho has tosparofrom day to day. Gradually tho spider-like armsand legs grow stronger, and be begins to essay murder with the bow and arrow, to Imitate the strut of the warriors as they stalk from lodge to lodge; be rolls himself up to sleep every night in the snuggest and most con venient plaoer he can find in tho "teppoo," either at the feet of his parents or colled up with his relative. The pappoose finds his own playthings as a rule, though his father occasionally un bends far enough to fashion bis first bow and arrow. Ho delights in playing ball, but not in catching it, as our boys do. It Is usually n game similar to "shinny" when ployed by the Indians. Ha delights, also, in solting small siarcs for grouse, rabbits and water-fowl, and takes real honest boyish satisfaction in robbing bird's nests, but when tho berry season arrives, then is he happiest, and his cup of content runs over. Tho slender nether limbs aro fairly bowed and groggy beneath Jho fruit-distended ab. domen. As the boys ore never subjected to boaring the burdens, and hardly evor put upon their feet before they are two years old, the sight of bowed or knock-kncod legs among them is very rare Indeed; but the practice of setting the young girls at tbo duty, mornings and evenings, of bringing packs or wood and water, causes nearly all of them to be Inclined either out or in at tho knees.

EVENTS OF AN EEOI'iJJIENT. Aberdeen, a little town on the Ohio river, has long been a favorite resort for runaway couples, and tbe little ferryboat that plies across the river from Maysville, Ky., is ap propriately culled tbe Gretna Green. Just now the boat is laid up on account of the ice, and the passage can only be accom plished in row boats. Lesndcr P. Scraggs, a scraggy youth of 18, and Miss Anna F. Stamper, a pretty blondoof 16 reached Ibe river bunk in great haste, knowing that an angry father was close behind them. Tho girl burst into tears on seeing the Ico flood, and a sympathizing crowd urged two river men to make the passage In a skiff. They were soon afloat, and a crowd gathered on the bank to watch their progress. Before they had reached midway the excited fath er appeared, and In a rogo yelled to the girl to come back, but Ills cries were unheeded. When just about lo step off on the Aberdeen side, the lover stood up and waved his hat triumphantly. Tho act was an unfortunate one, for be lost his balance aud tumbled in to the rlvor. The bride screamed, and tbe crew fished Mr. Scraggs out with a boat hook. A safa landing was at last made, and with the muddy water of the Ohio fast congealing upon his clothes, his teeth chat tering, and bis knees trembling, tbo young man led the young woman up tho bank, and both hurried to Ibe hospitable inausion of 'Squire Msssle Beasley, where tbey were married.

Tho other night two rough looking cus tomers got into a quarrel about 12:30 o'clock on the corner of Galveston street. They wero both bad men, who ordinarily did not know what fear was, but they knew each other's prowess, nnd heuce they were un willing to bring on the conflict. They were) the two hardest cases on the Galveston Isl and. They walked around each other like two lions, grilling their teeth, with their fists doubled up, and muttering curses. A man in dark clothing was standing near the lamp-post, quietly watching tbo progress of events. If it weu't for that policeman there IM hnvej'iur heart's blood," said one, edging up closer to his antagonist and gritting his teeth.

The two gladiators drew closer to tbe man to satisfy themselves that tbey could rend each other unmolested. The man smiled and said: Sail in, gentlemen, I won't hurt you." Having satisfied themselves the spectator was a harmless, timid man, oneol thegladl- tors reached out from tho shoulder and sent the amazod third party reeling into lb street. "Hit him again, Jimmy," yelled the sec ond rufflan, planting a well directed kick that lifted tbe flying man off the ground. The spectator run like a turkey, ond final ly mnda bis escape, closely pursued by th wo deadly enemies. When explaining lo bis Irleuds how he came by lha black eye, the victim lells a very different story, and deprecating the inefficiency of the Galveston police, says he shall regret to the last day of his life that he did not have the legal au thority to arrest the ruffians, and take them both to jail.
