" She's a very nice woman, my dear Mickleberry, a very nice woman, indeed," said Mr. Partanbridge, sagely ; 44 but yen allow her to dictate too much ! For in stance, my wife should never tell tne not to smoke in the parlor on account of the curtains!" It does often torn them yellow," observed Mr. Mtcklelierry, thoughtful- ly. " Granted but what becomes of your conjugal superiority ? And then you didn't buy that coraer lot because she advised you not to .' What is a woman's judgment worth in a matter of business like that, Mickleberry ?" " Mary knows more than half the men going," parenthetically asserted Mickle berry. " Excuse me, Mickleberry, but you don't keep her in her place. Don't the Scriptures expressly say that woman is the weaker vessel ? I should like to see Mrs. Partanbridge venturing to oppose me." Mr. Mickleberry looked admiringly at his bi friend. "How do yon manage it, Partan bridge T' lie questioned, somewhat tim idly. "Tact, my dear fellow tact, dignity, supremacy. 1 wouldn't have mentioned it if circumstances hadn't pointed direct ly to the fact, but you are getting hen pecked, Mickleberry. Everybody notic es it, you know. You mut assert your self." Mr. Mickleberry laughed. " But what is the use of asserting my self?" be asked, jocosely. " Everything goes on like clock-work at home Mary always meets me with a smile she spends the money sensibly, and never has she asked me for an unnecessary cent." "Does she tell you how she spends it ?" "Xot always, but " Mr. Partanbridge interrupted his friend with a groan. " Oh, these women, these women ! I I should like to see my w ife buying a Bilk dress, as Mary did last week, with out first consulting me !" " But she Las saved the money out of her housekeeping funds." " Then, my dear fellow, it's a sign that you give her too much money for house keeping. Cut her down draw the purse strings a little tighter." Mr. Mickleberry looked uncomforta ble. " I I should hardly like to do that," Partenbridge." " You'll never be master in your own house until you do." Mr. Moses Mickleberry went home and told his wife all about what Parten bridge had said. Mary laughed, then colored, but she was a tittle angry with al. " I wish Mr. Partanbridge would mind bis own business," said she. "Im tired of hearing about ' my wife.' She must be a poor, spiritless concern." Partanbridge is a man of great abili ty," said Moses, gravely. "Fiddlesticks:" said Mrs. Mickelber ry. "A regular ben hussy a thorough going Miss Nancy V " I'm sorry you feel so about him, my dear," said Moses ; " for he doesn't like the place where he is boarding now and I told him be might occupy our spare room for a few days," " Oh, I've no objections to that," said Mrs. Mickleberry, composedly. " I'm al ways glad to entertain your friends, my dear, even if they are not the most agreeable people in the world, and I dare say I can get along with Mr. Partanbridge for a few da vs." " You're a little jewel, my dear," said Mases, and he forgot all Partanbridge's insinuations at once. Mr. Partanbridge came, bag and bag gage, and took possession of the ' spare room ' in the Mickleberry mansion as importantly as if he had been the Grand Turk. And thenceforward 'my wife began, figuratively speaking, to trample Mary Mickleberry into dust. " My wife " spent no money ; my wife ' went nowhere ; ' my wife ' would sooner cut off her hand than go to a wo man's rights convention ; 'my wife was not literary, but spent her days doing housework and her evenings mending stockings. She beld her husband in sal utary awe, never spoke when she wasn't spoken to and in short, she knew her place." "And ho did you manage it, Par tanbridge ?" asked Mr. Mickleberry once again, in the admiration of his soul. Mr. Partanbridge waved his band loftily. Mickleberry !" said be, " there are some things that cant be expressed in words." " Fortunately V put in Mrs. Mickle berry who was sewing away as vigorous ly as if every stitch were an unuttered protect " And," went on Mr. Partanbridge, as if he had not heard the interruption, " it is a woman's duty to listen to submit to keep silence." " There goes the door bell," observed Mrs. Mickleberry ; " will you go, Moses? it is Bridget's evening oat" My wife," commenced Mr. Parts n bridge, " would never have aaked me to ESTABLISHED 18537. WEDNESDAY, perform any such menial an office He stopped short as a loud, mascu line voice was heard in the entry below stairs. "Does Joe Pantaubridge beard here ? Xes? Oh, all right tell 'em to bring the trunks, and you, hack man a dollars enough fare. You'll get do more out of me ; clear out, and let's.hear no more of your grumbling. So he's here, is be ? A pretty chase I've had after him." Mrs. Mickleberry looked up at the blanching countenance of Job Parten bridge in great surprise and bewilder ment. " Who can that loud voiced woman possibly be ?" she asked. Surely there is some mistake." "X no!" quoth Mr. Partanbridge, with chattering teeth. " It is my my wife." " Mrs. Partanbridge ? Can it be possi ble?" And hospitable little Mary Mickleber ry dropped her work and hastened to greet and welcome her new guest, the paragon among women, the meek and lowly and well-trained wife of the dough ty Job. Mrs. Partenbridge came into the room with the tread of a giant and the asjiect of an Amazon. She was a tall, large wo man, red-faced and resolute, with thn faint shads of a mustache on her upper lip, and a deep voice like that of a grena dier, and she wore her cloak as if it had been a man's overcoat, the two sleeves tied around her neck, while her sailor bat would have b?en a snug tit for her husband. She sat down, at Mrs. Mick lei "eiry's invitation, with a force that made the chair crack and tremble in every joint, and thrust out her feet. Pull off those rubbers," she said to Job, and the husband promptly went down on his knees to perform the be hest. " Xot so rough you're as clumsy as ever, I see ; and now tell me why you didn't send the money for me to join you before ?" " I couldn't spare it from my business, Drusill, my dear," stammered Job, grow ing scarlet. " Liang up my cloak to dry and get me a footstool for my feet," commanded Mrs. Partanbridge. " Look sharp about it, too ! Well, I "borrowed fifty dollars from Deacon Underbill, and I've come on my own book. I'm tired of being poked away in the backwoods while you are playing the fine city gent and I'll not stand it any longer ; besides, I wan ted to attend the Woman's Suffrage As sociation, and I'm a member of the Sed ley ville Branch of Female Rights Advo cates. You've got a nice house here, ma'am," turning to Mrs. Mickleberry. I might have had a house of my own if Job Partanbridge bad used common sense in his business affairs and listened to my advice a little." . - " Dmsilla, my dear interposed Mr. Partanbridge, but his wife darted an an gry glance at him. " Job Partanbridge, w ill you hold your tongue, and speak w hen you're spoken to ?" she demanded, tartly. " Most certainly, my tiear, niwt cer tainly." " Then let's have a specimen of it. As 1 was saying Job, go down stairs and look in the big handled basket on top of the trunk in tbe hall and get me my handkerchief and the camphor bottle with the little wicker case round it as I was saying, that sort of thing is just about played out, so far n I am concern ed. Job hasn't no more wit than a yel low dog when he's left to himself you know you haven't, Job, so you may just as well leave off opening and shutting your mouth like a nesrly landed fish and I mean to be boss myself. Job you hear?" " Yes, dear." " Bring me the rocking chair now move the screen, so the tire won't shine in my eyes. And get a hack early to morrow morning, and s?e that I am fur nished money. I want to do a little shopping." " Yes, my dear," said Job Partan bridge. " And be ready to go w ith me to the Suffrage Rooms at 1. I must render the report of the Sedley ville Branch." " Yes, my dear," asiented the hus band. At this stage Mrs. Bckkbery inter rupted the orders of tSe commanding general of the Partanbridge Division by a tray containing tea, toast, and other feminine refreshments. Mrs. Partan bridge received them wi ll a contemptu ous sniff. " My good lady," said she, " I dare say you mean well, but I dm't feed off such slop! Job!" " Yes, Drusilla !" " Go round to the nearest restaurant and get me a bottle of Dublin stout and a dish of stewed tripe You'll excuse me, ma'am," to Mrs, Mickleberry," but we all have our litle ways, and this is mine." A way went Job Parteibridge, like an arrow fleeing from the bow, and soon re turned with the reiuiied dainties, off which ' my wife supped 3umptuously. "Take my things up iairs, Job !" said Mrs. Partanbridge, whet she had satis fied the cravings of natuie. " I've had a long day of travel, and I guesa I'll go to bed early." If ever mortal man looked cowed, wretched and dismal, Jsb Partanbridge did the next morning when he made his appearance at the breakfast table. Mrs. Mickleberry could not resist one little mischievous hit. " I congratulate you.Mr. Partanbridge, upon the excellent manner in wnicn you have developed yoir theories as to conjugal discipline." Mr. Partanbridge clicked convulsively over his coffee. " Hush 1" he cried. 1 " Hush ! she is coming !" " Who is coming ?" My wife !" Eu', ah ! how diflerently he pro nounced the low, tsagit words from that in which he had spoken theai twenty four hours ago. , Job Partanbridge ant his wife left the Mickleberry roof that very day for a ho tel hardier to the " Women's Suffrage Bureau," and that was the last Mary and her husband heard of " my wife " or her bumble slave, tbe demoted Job. .V.

Some of James Bennett's friends ad vised very strongly against his marrying before his professional income "justified" it. But he had been engasfd to Mary Moore two years, and s!ic was a capable woman, versed in ways of household thrift and economy, and he reasoned, as did she, that "what wa; enough for one was enough for two," and that they would- venture in matrimony without further delay. Just at this juncture Jane Seymour, a very dear friend of Mary's wrote to Mary asking the privilege of helping the young couple in furnishing their modest house and boarding with them by way of remuneration for her in vestment It seemed to the youg people a providential opening, and the accept ed the offer with gratitude and alacrity. As Mary had nevt r been married be fore, and Jane was single, neither was aware how utterly two young people newly wedded are absorbed in each other, and how any third party becomes not only asuperlluitv, but a source of continual trouble. As jane contributed so much to the furnishing of the house and of the table, of course, she must be consulted be consulted in all matters per taining to taste, household management n i every tiling connected with the con duct of affairs. She was given the best room in the house, of course ; she was a perpetual gnmt with tbe rights of an owner. Did James and Mary w ish to take a walk? Jane could not be left lehind. Did they wish to call upon some iriend? Jane mast go along too. And so it came to pass that the adjustment of this third party to the dual unit caused more per plexity and doubt and questioning and misunderstanding than did their efforts at adjustment to each other of a great deal. Of course, Jane had her views, as most single women not very young have, of how men should treat their wives, and she was not slow to hint at any discovery of delinquencies on James' part, and to encourage Mary to insist on her reserved rights.

' 7i rint'uiH A 'I tuoite. Polish Emigration. The great event of the year 1'.0 in Poland was the emigration fever, which commenced in the spring, and assumed alarming proportions in July, August and September. It was stimulated by agents representing Brazilian emigration society (according to the British Consul General of Warsaw) taking advantage of the ignorance, credulity and superstition of the Polish peasantry and lower class generally ; they worked among them with a success which seems almost in credible, aud inveigled thousands of these nufortunat beiugs out of the country to w hat are described as unheard of suffer ings. The Consul General cannot state the number of emigrants, even approximate ly, but there is no doubt that it was very considerable, and that in many parts of Poland whole villages and a very large proportion of farm laborers placed them selves in the hands of the emigration agents and left the country, and did also a number of factory hands. At first it was attributed entirely to the tempta tions held out by the agents, but it has since transpired that want of work and extremely low wages facilitated their task among that part of the asricultural population which does not pofees3 WnJs of its own, and lives from hand o mouth. All tbe reports that have reached Po land relative to the fite of the emigrants showt hat they are exposed to great hard ships, both on the journey out and on landing in the country. Those that have managed to return tell the most doleful tales, and the public have become so in terested in the fate of their unfortunate countrymen that a subscription has been got up for the purpose of helping them to repatriate, and a gentiemaa of high standing and independent means has been appointed to go out to Brazil to as sist them in doing so with the funds sub scribed. Notwithstanding all this, the emigration commenced again about the middle of March last in certain districts. It is estimated that one-third of the pop ulation of the Kutno district has already gone, and more are on the move. Bu- it is now stated authoritatively that the Government of Brazil has issued orders that no more Polish emigrants are to be allowed to land there, and this will no doubt, put a stop to the exodus more effectively than any coercive measures which could have been applied in Poland itself. A Little Gis's Experience in a Light-House. Loren Trescott and wife are keepers of the Government Light-house at Sand Beach, X. Y, and are blessed with a daughter four years old. Last winter she was taken down with measles, fol lowed with a dreadful congh and turning into fever. Doctors at home and from the city treated her, but in vain ; she grew worse rapidly, and she was a mere hand ful of bones. Then she tried Dr. King's Xew Discovery, and after the use of two and a half bottles was completely cured. They say Dr. King's Xew Discovery is worth its weight in gold, yet you may get a trial bottle free At G. W. Bedford's Dreg Store. I was ro much troubled with catarrh it seriously affected my voice.

"Samantha," grumbled Mr.Chugwater, ftimblirg in one of the bureau drawers, "I'd like to know where, ia the name of common sense, you keep my socks." "What pair do you want, Josiah?" in quired Mrs Chugwater. "Any pair, if they are only mates. Here's an odd giay sock and an odd black one, and down here in the corner is an old pair of la-st summer's socks, with bo!es in the tots. I don't see why my things can't be kept in order the same as other men's. "If yon had only told me " "Toll you ! Have I g't to nil to you. Mrs. Chugwater, for every little thing I want ? Is that your idea about the way to carry on the household business ? If you'd just take trouble enough to pile things in here so I can find them when I want them it would save me lots of bother." "Josiuh, if you w ill let nie " "Xow, there's no use of your getting excited about this thing. If you know w here I can get a pair of haif-way decent socks just say so, and I'll hunt them up ; and if you don'tknow,and will have the kindness to put the fact in plain Lnglisb, I'll go out and buy a pair. That's ail." "If you hadn't tumbled these things all out of shape, Josiah " "Tumbled them out of shape, have I ? What's a bureau drawer f?', anyway ? Is it to hide things in, madam?

"I could have found them for you in a minute and saved you all thi3 trouble if you hail given me a chance," said Mrs. Chugwater, as she straightened out the tangle in the draper and brought to view from one of the bottom corners live pairs of clean socks. "When you want anything of this kind bereafti;r, Joeiah, if you will oniy let me know " "Tho trouble with you, Samantha," growled Mr. Chugwater, as he jerked a pair from the top of the pile and went off to one corner to put them on, "is that yoa talk too much." Should a Girl Hesitate? A young girl, attractive though not pretty, bright and witty, well read anil well bred, whom I love dearly, asked me the other day what I thought was wom an's sweetest hour. I have since then discovered her reason for asking the question. She anticipated my answer with the preface that she thought it was w hen, having brought the man of her choice to the point of proposing, she keeps him waiting a few moments for her answer, regarding the nature of which she has given no inkling so strong as to make it certain that it will be "Yes." I am also a young girl, three years her senior. I have not yet experienced that "sweet hour" not, at least, from a wel come source. Still I can well understand that to see and feel the anxiety of one's lover, aud to know that it is all caused by love for you, should constitute un bounded happiness. Yet my friend's idea strikes me as somewhat insincere and a triile cruel. Were I ever called upon to answer the most important question of my life, pro pounded by the man of my heart, I would find keener joy in unhesitatingly saving "'yes" than to feign a doubtfulness that I did not fell. A little beating about the bush at the outset is perhaps proper enough, but w hen you have assured yourself that you are dealing with an honest man that loves you, 1 think that all ptrrying and diplomacy had better be supplanted by frankness and sincerity. I think the honorable wooer entitled to as much in formation as he has imparted to his sweetheart. S. Y. HutiUl. Wonderful Changes. In one of the Xew Kng'and states there is a quiet little country town whither the railroad has not penetrated, in which no new houe has been built for nearly a quarter 01 a century, wntie me piace on 1 fetser inhabitants than it had fifty years ; ago. The oldest inhabitant is a man ninety years of age, whose w hole life has been passed in this, the town of his birth. He still lives in the bouse where he was born. A stranger from a distant citv was in conversation wuti uhs ageu citizen one ! . :.lai- l day, when the old gentleman said : " Yes, sir ; I've lived right here in this village ninety years. I've seen wonder ful changes in that time, sir wonderful changes. I tell ye, the place is goiug right ahead." "In what way?" asked the stranger, looking up and down the deserted road for some indication of this wonderful progress. In what way V repeated the old gen tleman. "Why, in different ways. I can remember the time we didn't have but one store here, and now we've got two and a meat shop, and there's talk of a millinery woman coming in here. Yes, sir ! And we've got ten 6treet lamps and a four hundred dollar organ in the church, and a aood half mile of side walks, all within my recollection. Won derful changes going on all the time.

At the head of Holy Cross creek, near Leadville, Cola, and in the almost in accessible defiles of Mount Shasta, Cal , t'jere are hundreds of square feet of ground continually covered with snow as red as blood.

Although there is a tendency to run rather too much to "millinery" in the present fashion i f adorning lamps, there is no question but colored shades add greatly to the e'!ect of a room. Xow tiiat tissue paper is used so rouch in their construction, they are within the means of almost every one. For a largf banquet-shade t'.iirty-sit sheets of French tiasue p:!cT are required if the shade has three skirts, and twenty-fcur if only two are used. Tlie sheets shoul I W pasted together iu threes, and w hen thoroughly dry should be drawn through the bauds and tightly pressed to give the creped appearance, ia which so much cf their beauty consists. This is rather a slow pmctsu, but many hands makes light work in this as in other things. When finished paste four crinkled pieces together, making a round skirt of Ueive sheet of paper. Alter three skirts have been jjined in this way, arrange them one over the other, the ueeuest on the outside and the palest next the light, and set ure them to a wire frame which comes for the purpose with a stout rub ber band. Leave live or six inch.es at the top for a ruche, and distribute the fulness as evenly as possible. Then, after tying securely with a string or ribbon, remove the band. Tho entii-e depth of this shade, including the ruche at the top, should V about twentv-three inches, aud it w ill be found necessary to cut otf some of the iier !efore tltiting the ediTcs. All this should be done with the wire frame plai-ed in position on the lamp, as it would be iiiipcwv-ible: to man age anything so unwieldy in any other way. Now comes the artistic part, and dell lingers can add many touches here and there which conduce greatly to the effect Kach ekirt should be run through trie finsrers at its lower edge and the crinkles pul'.ed out to eive a milled appearance. The top should le treated ia the same way, and pulled down to hide the string with which it is tied. .This forms a thick niche, and the whole, if properly made, has much the appearance of an immense t!ovtr. The prettiest combination is formed by using three tones of yellow is real jon quil colors, and as the liuting at the low er edge has mu h the lixk of the cup of a jonquil, it is not difficult to imagine this vello sha le a gigantic imitation of that lovely blossom. Another good combination consists of two skirts of rose-pink, with a pale yellow -green f.r lining, and this shade is fully as beautii'iil in the daytime as when the lamp is lighted at night For a very Costly and richly decorated lamp a silk and lace trimmed shade may to used. In matin these the lining should be cut in sections and put on like the cover of an umbrella, except that the seams are on top. After this is fastened to tiie wire frame the ouL-ide cover is put on. This is made by sewing several straight breadths of silk together, allow ing depth enough to have adoubit ruche of five or six inches at the top. Shirr several times before fastening to the frame, and arrange the fullness at the bottom either in plaits or gathers. Fast en a frayed or pinked mine of the silt about six inches deep to the lower edge, and over thi place a fall of lace of equal depth. This silk rutiie is lmk ortant, as the glare of the light through the white lace is very unpleasant A frame made of asbestos paper, w hicii was patented in lS l'.i, may be bought for a trifle at aiiufjt any lamp-store and is a certain protec tion aguiu.t the heat. 11'fnt-i' II r.m: Wild Geese and Electric Lights. The night was still and dark, and as the birds lie over the city some of the geee would get bewildered by the bright light of the electric lamps and circle round and round the light, squawking as if lost. The ducks do not seem to care for the excitement of city life and iro quietly on their way, but a gixise is so supremely citrous that he can hardly pass an ei-i lric light without flying round and examining it. About tvw years ago there was a ter rific thunder siurm, during which a flock of geese, numbering probably ILK), enter ed the city and soon became bewildered bv the storm. Some of them, it said, even lit on the roofs of houses, but cer tain it is that at half-past 4 or in the morning there was a great Hock ofgrese sitting in the light of the arc lamp, on ,u of Mj;u an j j-;r strt.etj4 :Q the nnter ))f ,Le t.jVJ n Tvi? u coliT,(.t is an exceptional case, and would proba bly never have happened if it had not been for the stoiai. but why they should be so irresistibly attracted toaard a light as to lose ail fear of man's habitations, 1 and to alight ia the mi Idle of the strtet has alwavs been a wouoer to uie.
