"This morning rt meeting of officers of
all regiments was held iij Lexington, and
a resolution was adopted refusing to go to
tho front, or to take their regiments. This
action, taken iu consideration with thn ac
tion ol ProntioR, Guthrie and others,
clearly indicates that a new political pol

towns, wliilo on his morning nalk, passed
hy the door ol a neighbor, who was exea
vatiog a log for a ig Jiough. "Why,'
r-aid the schoolmaster, 1 Mr. , havo

"My dear,'' said I, "will you do me the
injustice to believe that I eoald overlook a
matter fco essential to the comfort nf that
ineetimablc child I"
She apologised very haudsomely, but
made her auxietj tho teapogoat. I for
gave her, and without saying a word more
to her I addrescd myself to sleep.

"Just ?o just so," said I half asleep,
thinking I was Solon Sbinglo,
Mr. Dlif'kin'r," said my wife, 'will jou

the nurse lamp for baby! ihe dear child!
if it wasn't for its mother I don't know
what he would do. Ilov can you slerp
so, Mr. Blifkin's T"
"I suspect my dear that it is because I
am tired."
"0, its very well for you min to talk
of being tired," eaid my wife; "I don't
know what you would say if you luul to
oil and drudge like a poor woman with a
baby."
I tried to sooth Iter by telling her she
had no patience at all, and got up for the
posset. Having aidnl in auswering to
the b'aby'a requirements, I stepped iLto
bed again with the the hope of sleeping.
"Mr. Blifkin's," said she, in a loud
key. I said nothing.
"0, dear," c-aid that estimable woman
iu great apparent anguish, "how can a
man who lias arrivca at tno Honor ot a
livo baby of his own, sleep, when ho don't
know that the poor creature will live till
morning!"
I remained silent, and, after a while,
deeming that Mrs. Blifkin's had gone to
aleep, I stretched mv limbs for repose.
how long I slept, I don't know, hut I wa'
awakened by a jag in the forehead from
some sharp instrument 1 started up and
Mrs. Blifkin's was sitting up in bed ad
justing some portion of the baby's dross.
She had, in a state of rcmi-somnolencc,
mistaken my head for the pilow, whioh
she customarily used for a nocturnal pin
cushion. I protected agaiutt sueh treat
ment in somewhat round terms pointing
to several perforativns in my forehead.
She told me I should willingly bear such
ills for tbo sake of tho baby. I insisted
upon it that 1 didn't think my duty as a
parent to the immortal, required tho sur
render of my forehead as a pin-cushion
This was ono of tho many nights passed
in this way. The truth is, that baby was
what every map's first baby is an autocrat
absoluto and unlimited.
Sueh was thu story of Blifkin's as he
related it to us the other day. It is a lit
tle exagcrated nioture of almost every
but always met him as he was oris of the
kindest aud bestof husbands. This oourse
ii her part humbled bins and made him
weep like a child. This scntoncc, it is
hoped will bo remembered, was tho lan
guaga of Judge Smith to the friends al
ready named, and to those who knew the
stern, unbending character of the Judge,
it will teach a lesson of how rnuoh a pat
ent woman's love aid devotion can do, a
he himself told it.
"The evening beforo tbo return day of

in puttiiift his head into the room over tho
door and through the thran'om. In his
eagernefe to get a full view of the premises
ho overturned the ohair with his toes, and
wss left hanging by the neck in a painful
position from which he could not extrioate

Two Rogues Lnstsad o Onb. An
amusing incident is related of a woman ia
England whoes husband, a wealthy man,
died suddenly without leaving any will.
The widow, desirous of securing the
whole property, cosccaled her husband's
death, and persuaded a poor shoemaker to
take his place while a will could be made.
Accordingly he was closely muffled up in
bed as if very sick, and a lawyer was call
ed to write the will. The shoemaker in
a feeble voioe bequeathed half of all the
property to the widow. "What shall be
done with the remainder!" asked the
lawyer. " 1 he remainder," replied he,
"I give and bequotth tothc poor littles
shoemaker across the. street,who has alway
been a good neighbor and a deserving
man ;" thus seounng a rich bequest for
himself! The widow was thunder struck
with Ihe man's audacious canning, but
did net dare expose the fraud ; and so the
two rogues shared the estate.
Marriage in Russia When the
promise of marriage has been given, tho
father summons his daughter, who comes,
covered with a linen veil, into his prc.eneo
and asking her whether she bo still minded
to marry, he takes up a new red, which
has been kept ready for the purpese, and
strikes his daughter once or twice,
saying; "Lo ! my darling daughter, this
is tho last time that I shall admonish thee
of thy father's authority, beneath whose
rule thou art free from me. Remember
that thou hast not so much escaped from
sway, as rather passed beneath that of an
other, Shouldst thou behave not as thou
oughtest toward thy husband, he in my
stead shall admonish theo with this rod."
With this, the father, concluding bis speech
stretches at tbo same time tho whip to the
bridegroom, who exou.ing himself briefly
according to custom, eays that he "believes
hu shall liavc no need of this whip," but
but he is bound to acoept it, and pate it
under his belt like a valuable present.
