COURTSHIP AFTER MARRIAGE* "Now is this what I cull comfort," said Madge Harley as she sat down by her neighbor's fire one evening; "here you are at your sewing, with the kettle steaming on the hob, and the tea-things on the table, expecting every minute to hear your husband's step, and bee hiB kind face look in at tho door. Ah 1 if my husband was but like yours, Janet." " He is like mine in many of his tpavo " enirl Tftr.of tt7 i fYi <1 fimilft otl/1 if you will allow me to apeak plainly, he would be still more like him it you took more pains to make him comfortable." " What do you mean ?" cried Madge; "our houBeis as clean as your's; I mend my husband's clothes, and cook his dinner as carefully as any woman in the parish, and yet he never stays at home of an evening, while you sit here by your oheerful fire night after night as happy as can be." " As happy as can be on earth," said her friend gravely; "yes, and shall I tell you the secret of it, Madge ?" "I wish you would," said Madge, with a deep sigh; " it is misery to live as I do now." "Well, then," said Janet, speaking slowly and distinctly, "I let my husband see that I love him still, and that I learn every day to love him more. Love is the chain that binds him to his home. The world may call it folly, but the world is not my lawgiver." " And do youreally think,"exclaimed Madge in surprise, " that husbands care for that sort of thing ?" "For love, do you mean?" asked Janet. " Yes; they don't feel at all as we do, Janet, and it don't take many years of married life to make them think of a wife as a sort of maid-of-allwork." "A libel, Madge," said Mrs. Matson, laughing; " I won't allow you to sit in William's chair and talk so." "No, because vour husband is different, and values his wife's love, while John cares for me only as his housekeeper." " I don't think that," said Janet, "although I know that he said to my husband the other day that courting time was the happiest of a man's life. Wil nam reminded mm tnat tnere ib greater happiness than that, even oh earth, if men but give their hearts to Christ. I know John did hot alter his opinion, but he went away still thinking of his courting time as a Jby too great to be exceeded." " Dear fellow," cried Madge, smiling through her tears. "I do DelieVe he was very happy then. I remember I used to listen for his 6teps as I sat with my dear mother by the fire, longing for the happiness of seeing him." "Just so," said Janet; " do you ever feel like that now." Madge hesitated. " Well, no, not exactly." " And why not ?" " O, I don't know," said Madge; "married people give up that sort of thing." " Love, do you mean ?" asked Janet. " No, but what people call being sentimental," said Mrs. Harley. " Longing to see your husband is a proper sentiment." "But some people are ridiculously foolish before others," reasoned Madge. "That proves they want sense. I am not likely to approve of that, as William would soon tell you: all I want is that wives Bliould let their husbands know they aro still loved." "But men are so vain," said Madge, "thatit is dangerous to show them much attention." Her;friend looked up, "O.Madge, what are you saving ? Have yon, then, married with the notion that it is not good for John to believe you love him?" "No, but it is not wise to show that you care too much for them." "Say / and him ; do not talk of husbands in general; but of yours in particular," "He thinks quite enough of himself already, I assure you." "Dear Madge," said Janet, smiling, "wculd it do you any harm to receive a little more attention from your hus- 1 band?" "Of conrso not. I wish he'd try," : and Mrs. Harley laughed at the idea. ' "Then you don't think enough of 1 yourself already? and nothing would : make you vain, I suppose?" Madge colored, and all the more : when she perceived that William Mat- 1 s:in had como in quietly, and was now 1 s'andincr behind Janet's chair. This 1 of course, put an end to the converse- 1 tion. Madge retired to her own home 1 to think of Janet'swords, and to confess J secretly that they were wise. Hours passed b?foro John Harley re- J turned home. He was a man of good ' abilities, and well to do in the world; ' and having married Madge because he < t:uly loved her, he had expected to { Lave a happy home. But partly be- 1 cause he was reserved and sensitive, 1 partly because Madgo feared to make J liim vain, they had grown very cold to each other, so cold that John began to ] think the ale-house a more comfortable place than his own fireside. That night the rain foil in torrents, j the winds howled, and it was not until 1 the midnight hour had arrived that Harley left the public-house and hastened toward his cottage. He was wet through when he at length crossed the threshold ; he was, as he gruffly muttered, "used to thatbut he was not used to the tone and look with which his wife drew near to welcome him, nor to find warm clothes by a crackling fire, and slippers on the hearth j nor to heAr no reproach for late hours, and neglect, ind dirty foot-marks as he sat in his arm-chair. Some change had come to Madge he was very sure. She wore a dress he had bought her years ago, with a neat linen collar round the neck, and had a cap, trimmed with white ribbons, on her head. "You're smart, Madge," he exclaimed at last, when he had stared at her for some time in silence. " Who has been here worth dressing for tonight?" "No one until you came," said Madge, half laughing. " I ? Nonsense} you didn't dress for we t" cried John. " You won't believe it, perhaps, but I did. I have been talking with Mrs. Matson this evening, and she has given me some very good advice. So now, John, what would you like for your supper ?" John, who was wont to steal to the shelf at night and content himself with anything he could find* thought Madge's offer too efccelLnt to be refused, and ?. 1. _ 1 1 f -1 1-1 very soou a jarge dowi oi cnocoiaie was teaming on the table. Then his wife sat down, for a wonder, by his side and talked a little, and listened) and looked S leased, when at last, as if he could not elp it, he said, " Dear old Madge 1" That was enough; her elbow somehow found its way then to the arm of his great chair, and she sat quietly looking at the fire. After awhile John spoke again; " Madge, dear, do you remember the old days when we used to sit side by side in your mother's kitchen ?" "Yes." " I was a younger man then, Madge, and, as they told me, handsome; now I am growing older, plainer, duller. Then you?you loved me ; do you love me still f" She look id up in his face* and her eyes answered him. It was like going back to the old days to feel his arm around her as her head lay on his shoulder, and to hear once again the kind words meant for her ear alone. She never once asked if this would make him " vain ; " she knew, as if by instinct, that it was making him a wiser, a more thoughtful, more earnest-hearted man. And when, after a happy silence, he took down the big Bible, and read a chapter, as he had been wont to read to her mother in former titles, she bowed her head and prayed. Yes, prayed?for pardon, through the blood of Jesus Christ?for strength to fulfill every duty in the future?for the all-powerful influences of the Spirit, XUX uxcooxu^o uu ucx uunuauu v-Tuxuiuxu, Bhe prayed?and not in vain.? British Workman. A Yery Snakey Story. Mr. J. C. Beemer, near Coleville, Orange -County, N. Y.f while out " liucklebcrrying ? one day last week, discovered a worm snake crossing the road about three feet in length. He assaulted his snakeship with a billet of wood, struck two or three blows, when the reptile began to spread out, crawling in all directions. Mr. Beemer was greatly astonished, took a closer view of his victim, when he discovered that it yras composed of thousands of little teptiles, varying in length from an inch to three inches, about the size of a hair, all linked in together in such a manner as to form a complete snake three feet in length. On being struck with his club they all became alarmed, and endeavored to escape, crawling and wiggling in every direction. Mr. Beemer concluded to investigate the phenomena, and accordingly retired a few rods from the scene of battle, to watch these peculiar reptiles. In about half an hour the little snakes had collected en masse into the condition when first discovered, when the mass commenced to move with all the likeness and characteristics of a black snake, towards a large anthill, near by. On gaining the object of their search these seemingly thousands of little reptiles disbanded and commenced a furious assault on the occupants of the little hill, where a spirited battle was waged against the ants for about fifteen minutes, for the possession of the aut-eggs stored therein. The snakeB came off victorious, and soon collected again en masse into a greatly enlarged mass, resembling a large 6nake as before, but twice its original size, gorged with ant-eggs. Wages In Paris. From an official inquiry set on foot by the Chamber of Commerce, of Paris, it appears that there are employed in the various trades and manufactories of that city, 467,311 hands, ot wnom about 300,000 are men, 120,000 women, and 47,000 children. Of these, there are 60,000 males, earning from 50 centimes (10 cents) to 3 francs (60 cents) per day, 211,000 earn from 3j to 6 francs (65 cents to SI 20) per day, and 15,000 from GJ to 20 francs (SI 30 to S4). Of the females, 17,200 earn from 50 centimes (10 cents) to 1 franc 25 centimes to 4 francs (25 to 80) cents); and 700 from 4J to 10 francs (90 cents to $2). The wageB of children are from 10 cents to 25 cents per day. The shoemakers, carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, and painters are among the 211,000 who receive from 55 cents to 81 20 per day. It' is not to be wondered, says a correspondent, that these mechanics come to the United States whenever they can raise money ?novgh to pay their passage. Our mechanics at home, by restricting their awn sons in the privilege of learning trades, always keep the supply short so is to provide places for the foreign mechanic whenever he is ready to come, rheyall deserve leather medals for their philanthrophy. Mrs. Partington thinks that the grocers ought to hire a music teacher to teach them the scales correctly. Footc and Iienftm, Scene in the U. S. Senate Chaufber. A' In one of his reminiscences, Hon. Henry S. Foote gives the following: " A Bcene occurred in the Senate between Mr. Benton and myself which I j01 should here briefly explain. In the m summer of 1850, while Mr. Calhoun's remains were being transported frohl ^ Washington to South Carolina, but be- ^ fore they had left Washington, Mr. Benton rose up one morning and made, ^e as I understood them, some very disre- * spectful allusions to the illustrious de* ^ ceased. I stepped to the chair of Mr. cu Butler, Mr. Calhoun's own Senatorial th< colleague, and urged him to say some- pil thing in response. He seemed not ex- gu aetly to ttnaerstahd the import of Mr. po Benton's words, and therefore responded otl to him in a very confused and ineffective th< manner. I rose up to subjoin one or wa two observations, in a style) as I am Mi willing to acknowledge, not a little ani- to mated and indignant. Mr. Benton rose ch up suddenly from his chair, which was lec some distance from mine, making at A1 the time a prodigious noise, and ad- m{ vanced rapidly in the direction of. my <jqi position) which on the outer circle Mi of seats, not far from the central door hii | of ihe chamber, and seemed to be aim- da, I ing to get behind me while I was speak- he iog, in order to strike me when in this mi unprotected attitude; I had been les warnftd by Senator Pratt only a day or tin two before that he had publicly threat- kn ened to do me violence in the Senate if on I ever undertook to allude to him again, ne and I had deemed it expedient to put on bu arms for my own defense. I was wear- ed ing at the nidment a Oolt'a revolver, ex; which I certainly intended to use should th: it become necessary. On drawing it, I 1 took a step or two to the right, which M< carried mo to the central aisle of the frc Senate. I then turned toward the cen- sei tral door of the chamber, intending du certainly if Mr. Benton should pass the tir corner near my seat and advance a sin- de gle step down the aisle I was standing ov in, after having warned him of my in- sh< tentidn, to tire upon him at once, Conceiving that in shooting in the direction of the central door I should be able to avoid doing injury to any one else ; for J I undoubtedly did not intend to sue- an cumb to his violence while in the deoorous performance of my Senatorial fj duties. When Mr. Benton saw I was " armed he paused, and in a second or vie two allowed Gov. Dodge, the venerable an, Senator from Wisoonsin, to conduct him 8m to his chair. Before ho had fairly re- vie seated himself, Mr. Dickinson, of New it York, asked me for my pistol, which I de; willingly handed him. Then it was ba that Mr. Benton broke out again vo- Ea ciferously, exclaiming : ' Let the assassin ag Bhoot I' ;.at the same time theatrically ap tearing open his vest. I made a short 0f] explanation of mv conduct to the Sen- ] ate, after which the affair was referred at to a special committee, whose report bis and the evidence annexed thereto oc- na] cupy one large printed volume, in which far future generations will find a huge and 8b< somewhat incongruous mass of facts of fat a very ludicrous and interesting char- bis actcr;" j yef Fostering a Bad Practice; wo rj There is a good deal said in censure ^ ' of the custom of jumping off and on the au cars when in motion. It is righteous o?< condemnation, but is not consistent ^h when coming from railroad companies. If they truly desire a reform they must ow begin at home, fdf as long as employees ant will jump on a train when in motion, fat and persist in doing it as gracefully as J"? they do, an imitative public will be the au sufferers. People don't jump on a train vj8 before it stops because they are in a 1 hurry, but because they have seen a an( brakeman or conductor do it, and have y0, a terrible dread of being surpassed, gjj. Now, at the station the other day, caf Conductor Phillips, of the eastern train, tj1? after giving the word tp start, waited PTt until the last car reached him, and then j j raising one hand to the rail and one j8 ] foot gently from the earth, he swung j|lt majestically around, and was at once ^rt firmly on the car. Mr. Phillips weighs jnf two hundred pounds, but there was ^er such grace and poetry in his motion ^ , that he seemed to blend with the car. F>rst there \Vns yellow paiht, and then gold leaf, and maroon, and Phillips. There was an elderly person who saw J Phillips do this, and his eyes glistened a < with anticipation. He was going 011 tw< the western train, and when it came ^,j( along he waited until a fine rate of speed was gained, and then raising his an< hand and leg, just as he had seen lat Phillips do, aud looking carelessly J3n away ]ust as Phillips did, he reached ba< out for the rail, and the next instant h* was trying to push his head through c<-i the platform planks, and fighting the s<.. air with his heels, and madly pawing \y, around with his hands, and swearing eff, and pruying at an awful rate. They ab; stood him up on his feet and rubbed tin his heal with some snow, but it was a re? long while before they could convince ani him that the locomotive had not ex? ho ploded. wi1 vei Perils of Whaling, jec On the 14th of September, 1872, the bark Orray Taft, at anchor near Marble ni< Island, Hudson's Bay, parted her cables vol and went ashore, landing high and dry, ?jc in such a position that she cannot be ^rfl got off. On the 19th of October follow- jns ing the bark Ansel Gibbs went ashore at gii the same place, went to pieces, and is a tee total wreck. The Orray Taft had no oil, bu but the Ansel Gibbs had 550 barrels of ari whale oil and 11,000 ponnds of bone, mont of which was lost. A small ' amount was sayed by the Abbie Brad- ha ford. No men were lout at the time of tra the wrecks, but both crews were obliged to live on the island until the 2d of Augunt last, and from exposure and the th< lack of proper food were attacked by frc scurvy. The winter was fearfully cold, th< being the most severe for a number of th< years, so that the natives of the ifcland wc died by scores, and the wrecked crews W suffered exceedingly. Ten of the crew he of the Ansel Gibbs and four of the crew tin of the Omy Taf t died. up Tertible Scene In a School. Teacher and Pupil Stab Each Other t Death. The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald gives th llowing account of a terrible doubl urder recently committed in a schoc Banks county, in that State.' " The teacher of the school was Mi fred Alexander, aged forty years, an< e student, Mr. John H. Moss, age< out twenty-one yCafe. Mrs. Alexan r, wife of the principal, was, w< irn, present of her own volition, bu t in the discharge of any regular dut; teacher or in anv other capacity.

[t is an odd fact no baby ever did d no baby ever will, behave in com ny. The mother always bringi into the parlor where tin litor is, dressed iii its clean dress d its father and its aunt*come it iling at the same time. After th< |itor has kissed the baby and taker on her lap, and declared it is th< arest little thing she ever saw, thf by's mother and she begin to talk, ch talks aborit her own babv as fasi she can rattle, and both talk at onc< parently without caring what the ler is saying. Presently the fatliet winks furiously the mother, and frowns, and dean i throat, and makes mysterious sigIs. The mother snatches up the init and flies from the room. Whet j returns the child cries to go to its her, and no sooner is it settled or i knee than it betrays an irrsesitibic irning to go to its aunt, alter wnicr cries furiously because its mothei n't take it. Then the attnt gets a piece of candy quiet it, and when its hands have ac ired sufficient stickiness, it reachei ?r and mauls the visitor's bonnet en its mother tries to show off iti joraplishments ; but it Utterly refuses make a display ; it is as stupid as a? 1. It won't say "mamma" or "papa,' 1 it won't show how big it is. Its her tries to coax it to say "papa,' t it pays no attention to him. H< es again and again, getting maddei the time, and dreadfully afraid the itor will think his child is dull. U last he $p*abs the child by the anr 1 shakes it, and jells, "Why don'l a say Papa, as I tell you ?" Then the Jd screams like a back-yard full ol ?. The more the mother soothes it, ! louder it gets, till at last the fathei ilaims, "G'me that brat I" and pickf up and clashes out of the room, aud leard spanking it in the entry. Then ) visitor goes home looking at hei >ss; and deciding that the end of thai ant will be the gallows, if its charac' istics aro allowed to develop fully at jrows up.

So, two days later, Jaspei il his wife went over to his mother') use. Jasper got into conversatior th. hia brother Clay, and they con rsed a few moments upon some sub it. Jasper's wife, who had taken i it near the bedside of her woundet ather-in-law, after sitting a fev >ments, got up, and, drawing a re Iver which she had concealed in he: thing, walked up within two feet o jy and fired on liim, the shot pene .ting the heart, killing him almos itantly.
