Managing a Man.
NELLIE DAVIS was the prettiest, best,
sweetest, and dearest little girl in Hills
dale, and when Tom. Carter fall head
Over heels in lore with, her,, no one blam
ed him in the.leait. •
And when the parson gave consent and
they went to housekeeping in a 'cozy little
birdS Best of a houSe; oil the South- side
of the town, everybody prophesied all
sorts of happiness for . the pretty bride.
And truth to tell Nellie Carter was very
happy.
It is a pretty thing to go to housekeep
ing for the first time, with' everything
spick and span, new and shiny, and if
you love very much for a Companion it is
still pleasanter.
Now Nellie did lore threat blub
bering Toni.oafter with all h'er might
tind main, and there was only one thing
to disturb her pea•ce. ' She was the very
pink of tidiness and Tim. was the must
careless fellow alive.
He kept his person rest and nice, but
he kept his personal belongings anything
else. In vain did Nellie braid a hand
some merino case and tack it inside the
closet door for Tom. to put his slippers
in. He would insist on tossing them un
der the parlor sofa, " to have 'em handy."
In vain did she gently suggest that the
rack in the hull was the place for his hat
and overcoat—w.t or dry he would throw
hie overcoat on her pretty, smoothly
made bed. and hang his hat wherever it
happened.
In vain did Nellie make n place for ev
erything, for Torn. invariably tossed ev
crvthiug in some other place. Now little
lira• Nellie was only human, and Tom's
slovenly ways annoyed her exceedingly.
She resolved not to destroy the peace of
their cozy home by scolding, but how to
core hint she could not tell.
She'bore with him with thepatience of
an angel, tilt one morning when he had
gone up to town, she went into the parlor
broom in hand, aild there lay,Tom.'s big
shawl right across the centre table, suth
lessly crushing beneath it the trifles that
lay on the marble top.
"Now, I can't have this, and I won't."
said she, as she raised the.shawl.from the
delicate Immure and discovered the ruins
of a favorite Bohemian vase.
" I don't know what to. do, but this I
won't have," she continued ivith a little
bi- of wifely snap, which every good wife
must have if she expects to get along at
all with that occasion:oy unreaso..able
animal, a Man.
" Some way must be discovered to CUM
Toni. of such performances as this'?" ad
ded Mrs. Nellie as she removed the ruins
of the vase, and all the morning she
went around at her work with scarlet lips
compressed, and a little flush in tier
lirown.sses_which.,argued fur Mr.
Tom's domestic subjection.
Wonnin's wit, having a will seldom
fails tollnd a way. And when a deter
mined ;little woman says " must" and
" shall" all masculine insubordination
may as well surrender at once.
Before Nellie closed her bright eyes
that night, she had arranged plans for
that campaign against her lie e lord. who
was sleeping the sleet of innocence at
her side.
BA she meant to give him one more
chance: So after breakfast, when Tom.
drew on his hoots and gave hie slippers
the customary toss under the sofa, she
gently said—
" Tom„ dear, hadn't you better put
your slippers in the case ?"
"No, let 'em alone, they'll be handy to
night"
"But, Tom., they look so mititlY."
" Why. no they don't, a thing looks as
well in one place as another. What is
the nse of a mau's havinc , a home if he
can't keep things where he wants to keep
them ?"
" What's the use of keeping, a woman
on her feet ull day to pick up things after
-our
," Don't pick them up. Just let them
:dime, and then I can find them when
want them," declared Tom, as he gave
her a kiss and took himself off
A nd. at the moment the door closed on
him, Nellie's rmf lips compressed them
selves again, and her brown eyes wore the
same look they had worn yesterday.
" War it is, then," she said to herself.
"Now. Master Torn., we shall see who
wins the field."
She set qnietiv about her morning's
work, and when Tom. came home to din
ner everything was in i:s accustomed
good order. It remained - So, and Nellie
busied herself with her sewing until
nearly time for Tom. to tvt,nru to his sap ,
er.
Then she arose, pnt away her work.
and prepared to open the campaign.
First. she ptit-7om.'s slippers where he
alway left them, under thi- sofa. Then
she tossed the sli s awl uptti the piano, and
his best hat upon the centre table. She
then brought several of her drekies and
Slung them across the chairs nnil on the
sofa.
Herfttra and stteque reposed nn Tom'A
especial atm chair, and her best bonnet
kept Tom.'s , lippers rompana under the
sad: while her own slipNrs lay upon- the
mantle.
Anirthen thinking that Pminine

than her beet bonnet, she sat down to her

came inth the room.
"Hrmse cleaning: Nell I." he asked.'
- "Ob . , no, why ?" aid Nellie; looking
np,in sweet unconsciousness. —% •
"I thonght maybe i•on had bet that's
all," remarked TorriAlir, rook in around
for a place to Sit &Ism

Presently Trim. said—

"Jladn't you better,pick ap things a

ing nrono& the room.
"Oh, no, just let 'cm said Nellie,
sweetly.
" Bat they look so bad," said Tom.
".014.n0 they don't,". said Nellie, as
sweetly as ►lure. "A thing looks us well
in one plsefi as another." •
Tom.'s tics reddened. •
"I never itiw yonrroom look so before,
I shouldn't like to have aby.one, step in,"
he said hesitatingly. "..
"Why not!'' aaid.Nellie. "We , might
as well have things bandy. What's the
use of liaiing:a 'Kona° if you Can't have
things where you want to ?"
Tom.'s•face grew redder and redder.—
lle to look sober, mid then broke
into a langli. "Oh, that's your game, is
it," he said. "Trying to beat me with
my own weapoiii, ore you, my little wo
man ?"
" Well 7 don't you like the .plan ?" said
Nellie, demurely.
" No ! By Getirre I don't!" cried Mr
.
Tom.
" Well, then, I'll make a bargain with
you. As long as yon wilt keep your own
things in their place, do the same
with mine, and whenever you don't—"
"Oh, I will," interrupted Tom. "So,
Nellie', I'll own up like a man, you've
beat me this time. Only just clean up
this awful room, 'amd never throw
anything down again. There, now, let's
kiss and make up, as the children fray."
Nellie rose, and laughingly held up her
sw'et month for a kiss of peace. •And
Wen. under the magic influence :if her
deft fingers, confusion was suddenly ban
ished, and when Granger came around to
spend the evening, he decided that so
one had a prettier wife or a tidier home
than his Tom. Carter.
Vise little Nellie having once gained
possession of the matrimonial field, took
care to keep it until Tom. was entirely
cured of his careless habits.
Sometimes he seemed threatened with
a relapse, but Nellie, instead of scolding.
only had to quietly bring something of
her own, and lay it down beside whatev
er Tom. had tossed down, and it was sure
to be put away immediately, fur Tom.
seldom failed to take a hint.
And if some other little woman, as
wise and tidy . as Nellie, takes a hint also,
this story will have served its purpose.
A Chinese Walter.
Ix San Francisco the Chinese are to
some extent employed as waiters in the
eating houses. 'fwo miner: went in and
called for mutton chop. The waiter not
understanding the order perfectly, asked
what. was wanted.
Mutton chops, you chucklehead."—
And the Chinaman sung out Lt the top
of his voice—
" Some mutton chops , and chuckle
hd !"
The joke took' well among the custom
ers, who all laughed heartily. Presently
the poor fellow was overwhelmed with or
ders like the following:
"Bring me a bat fall of boiled bricks,"
said one.
Bates hill of bile bricks:" bawled
the Chinaman.
"1 want a barrel of homeorathic soup.
said :Mother.
" Barrel Ilumoputty soup, sung out the
waiter.
" Give me a dog's ear fry," exclaimed
a third.
But John Chinaman was not to be
fooled with the dog fry. He knew the
Americans abominated dogs for food, and
eeimmg everybody laughing, he began to
smell Cre rat. and therefore retreated to
the kitchen for the time being. When
the story got into the papers time poor
fellow became famous without suspectin2
the cause of it. He is now quite as favor
ite in rho place. and goes constantly by
the name of chuckleheada title that
dues not displeaserhim.

conversed upon, I take the liberty of com
mitting to paper the following. thoughts
and requests.
. .
I have not been unmindful of the sen
timent expressed by you in, the conversa
tion just alluded to. On the contrary. I
have again and again resolved them nith
thoughtful anxiety; but, without berrig
able to dispose my mind 'to a longer con
tinuation in the office I have now- the
honor to hold. I therefore still looked fur,
ward to the fulfillment of my fondest and
most ardent-wishes to spend - the remain-_
der of my days (which I cannot expect to
be many) in ease and tranquility.
I , ;othing short of conviction that •my
dereliction of the Chair of Government
(it• it should be the desire of the people
to continue me in it) would involve the
country in set ions diepntes respecting the
Chief Magistrate, and the disagreeable
consequences which might result there
from in the floating and divided opinions
which seem to prevail at present, could,
in any wise, induced me to relinquish the
determination I have formed, and of this
I do not see how-ally evidence can be ob
tained previous to the election. !'lly Van
ity. I am sure, is not of that cast as to al
low ins to view the subject in this light.
Under these impression then, permit
me to reiterate the request I made to you
at our last meeting, namely ; to think of
the proper time, and the best mode of an
nouncing the intention, and that you
would prepare the letter. In revolving
this subject myself, my judgment has al
ways been embarrassed. On the one hand
a previous declaration to retire, not only
outcries with it the appearance of vanity
and self-importance, but it may be •con
. strued into a manceuvre to be invited to
remain, and on the other hand, to say.
nothing, implvs consent, or, at any rate
would leave the matter in doubt, and to
decline afterwards might be, deemed as
bad and uncandid.
I would fain carry my request farther
than is asked above, although I am sensi
ble that your compliance with it must
add to your trouble; but as the. recess
may afford you leisure, and I flatter my
self yin have a disposition to oblige me,l
will without apology desire (if the mews-
urn in itself should strike you us proper,
and likely to produce public. good, or pri
vate honor.) that you would turn your
thoughts to a valadietory address from
ins to the public, expressing, in 'plain and
modest terms—lhat having beet, honored
with the Presidential chair, and to the
best of my abilities contributed to the-or
ganization and administration of the
government—that having arrived at
period of life, when the private walks of
it, in the shade of retirement, become
necessary and will be most pleasing to
me ; and the spirit - of the government
may render a rotation in the elective offi
cers of it, more congenial with their ideas
of liberty and safety, that I take my leave
of them as a public man ; and in bidding
them adieu (retaining no other concern
than such as will arise from fervent wish
es for the prosperity of my country) I
take the liberty, at my departure from
civil, as I formerly did at my military ex
it, to invoke a confirmation of the bles
sings of Providence upon it, and upon all
those who are the supporters of its inter
ests, and the promoters of harmony, or 7
der and good government.
That to impress these things it might,
among other things, be observed that we
are ad the children of the same country
—a country great and rich in itself-cap
able, and promising to bo as prosperous
and as happy as any the annals,of histo
ry here ever brought to our view. That
our interest, however diversiaellin local
and smaller matters, is the same in•tillLthe
great and essential concerns of.. the -na
tion. That. the extent of our corintey.
the diversity of our climate and soil, .and
the various productions of the Stites,
consequent upon both, are suet] as to
make one part not only convenient,- ' but
perhaps indispenlably necessary ; to the
other part, and may render the whole' (at
no distant period) one of the mast inde
pendent in the world. That the estab
lished government-being the work of our
own bands., with the seeds of amendment
engrafted in the constitution. may; by
wisdom, good dispositions and miitiud
lowatices, aided by-experience, bring it as

James Madisop, Esq
Texas Cattle Fever.
Oar Western exchanges have already
begun their periodical fusiladePoguinst'the
transportation _of Texas: cattle across
their territory, upon the, alleged' ground
that the dilease knoWn a's" Teias Cattle
Fever," followS'in the wake of theie Tex
as cattle (hovers. • There isrekome singu
lar, if not suspicious facts connedted with
this tirade.againet the Texas cattle in re
ference to, the,disrase in .qnestion, a few
of which We propose to notice
terest of common justice.
It is a fact not generally known, per-
Imps, that Texas cattle do not have the
Texas cattle fever, and. those who are
without, inferet.in the matter cannot re!.
gard' it otherivise than a verysingular fact
that Texatr cattle impart to the cattle of
Missouri and Illinoi4z disease which they
do not have.
. ,
During' the late war large" numbers of
Texas tittle were driven to and 'throtip
Louisiana by the Confederate authorities
for the use of the Confederate forces at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson.. These
cattle were driven across the country, her
ded on the range till required; and 'many
of them wintered in the cane region of
Eastern Louisiana, where they lead free
and constant interconrse with the .native
tock of the c t onntry: and yet not a single
case of Texas cattle fever was ever ,destd
oped from this contract. The atm-phis
tioated, \Mc urn Withont' interest in the
matter, would regard this as another sin
gular fact. But Lonisiana cattle were not
competing with the Texas cattle in the
beef market. hence they obstinately re
fused to contract any disease - Goal them,
and they were particulary cautiousttot to
contract a disease which these Texas cat-
tle did not have.
Some four versa ago an Arkansas cor
respondent of Colinan's Rural World de
tailed the fact that "the disease (Texas
cattle fever) commenced its ravages in
Arkansas in 184 U, killing „thousands of
cattle, while no such thing was known in
Texas at that time.; It, continued to rage
for ten years; andilisSappeared about' the
time Texas eattle'were introduced." •
. ; • -.-
litow here is um - array -of -facts adverse
to the;theciry•that Texas - cattle imparts
this disease, that. is worthy of ,consiaera
tion. Ana when - we remember the addi
tional fact that !Texas cattle . :are
dahle-enmpetors of the cattlwof Missonri
and the beef markets of the
North, and East, make a case against the
assumptions of the, interated parties, of
the State narned . whieh will require more
conclusive proofs hare thus fat been
adduced. to satisfy us that they are justi
fied in the unfriendly legislationdhat has
neen enacted upon this : subject against
the interest of the Texas .cattle trade.—
