hoW TO HIAVEs A LoVING WiFE . -If yotl would have a loving wife, be .s gqntle 4' your words after as befQre marraige; treet her as ten dery when a natron as when a miss; doi't quite make her the mid of all work and ask her why she looks less tidy and neat than when 'you irst knew her;' don't buy cheap, tough beef, and scold her because it does not come on the table 'porterhouse;' don't grum ble about squnling babies if you caniot keep up a 'nnrsery,' and re member thAt haby may 'take after papa' in his disposition; don't smoke and chew tobacco, and thus shatter your nerves, and spoil your temper, and make your breath a nuisance; and then complain that your wife declines to kiss you; go home joyous and cheerful to your wite, and tell her the good news you have heard, and not silently p)ut oi your ihat aid go out to the .club' or 'lodge,' and let her after ward learn that you spent the eve ning at the opera or at a fancy ball with Mrs.. Dash. Love your wife; be patient; remember you are not perfect, bumt try to be; let whis key, tobacco aiid vulgar company alone; spenid your evenings with your wife,andlive a decent, Chris tian life, and you r wife will be lov ing and true-if you did not mar ry a heartless beanty, without sense or worth; if you did, who is to blame if you suffer the conse <iuences? TH; NEx-r LETTER WAS SI(INGED Jessi.-There is a. young man in Oaklaud, Cal.. who has a young sister by the name of Jessie, who was sent to a fashionable school for young ladies. le said when she left home he wondered if she woul(l a -quire the airs and affecta tions that certainyoung ladies lie knew had by attending the fish ionable seminary. After being there a year he began to flatter himself that his sister was proof against such nonsense, when he re ceived a letter sigied "Jessica." in stead of Jessie, as heretofore. In answering he wrote something like this: "D)ear Sister Jessica-Yourm welcome letter received. M am - maica anid papaica are wvell. Aunt Maryica and Uncle Georgica start - ~ed for the Santa Cr'uz mountains yesterday.. Have bought a new horse; it is a beauty; it is named Maudica, etc. Your affectionate brother', Samica."~ The next let ter' was signed Jessie. - A grand maaga2n! of' the Tam many districh leapers was hmeld in the wigwam on Friday night,mor'e than 600 of' the 1300 me on the roll being present. The spirlt of the meeting seemed to b~e against Cbeveland and wit'h Grady who made a long and passionate speech denouncing Clevelond and announ cing his allegiance to the Beast Butler. lie was vigorously cheer ed, but resolaitiiona endorsing the nominees were adopted 810 to 87. It is rtmoroh that Tammany may seek to save .its credit and defeat Cleveland at the same time by nom inating an electrocal ticket of its own and throwing its vote away on 'it. BREAKING IT TO HER GENTLY A young wife's husband had fled with another woinan, and the par ents of the deserted one sought to break the news to her gently 'Are you prepare.I to hear some very bad news?' asked the mother, with tears in her eyes. 'Has George failed?c Tell me ! Is the bank broken? Am I a beg gar? Tell me! Don't keep me in suspense?' shrieked the wife, wrin ging her hands. 'My poor chile,' said the father, 'you little dream what a blow is in store for you. Calm yourself, priay.' 'I know he has beep down to the Board of Trade squandering his money and mine. I feel it in my bones. Something tells me that he has pa:wned his house and all my bonds. Oh, what has lie not done?' 'Your fortune is intact, my child,' continued the mother, embricino her, but your h')me is most cruelly deserted. George iis run off with that Wabash avenue woman that you caught him with at the opera last winter.' 'Goodness gracious, is that a!l!' gaspw:l the wife, as she shank into a chair and fanned herselffeirocious ly ; 'whiat (id you want to scare II to death for?'-Chicago Post. A CIAmouIs STORY.---One of our and best-known knights of the ra zor tells a ci 1ious story for wlich he vouches himself and brings wit IICSSCS whose Words, as well as his own, cannot be iml)eached. Sev erel days ago a man calle I in for a shave, and taking his seat in a chair. had his wantsdlv attended to. The opperator notice 1 a feath er sticking out in his beard, wiich was rather well -grownil, an(l s1p))0s ing it had merely lodge I there star ted to pull it out. The man quick ly, stopped hun saying, 'Don't, that huit rts mIe.' Ie then told our informant that ever sinice his beard began to g-row that feather had a place on his cheek, and that pulling it ouit (lid not check the growth, but rathier icreased it. Hie had finailly con eludedl to except it as inevitble, andl accordingly niever allow it to be p)ulled out now.
