When" I married tuy second wile, she wim <>a-t of it. but I only mention j| to show how intteh 1 thought of her happiness. I don't think tiny man ought t'i g married until he can consider hi* wife's happiness only second to his own. ?lohn AVi.se, a neighbor of mine, did thiisly, und when I got married 1 concluded to do likewise. But the plan didn't work in the ruse of my second wife. Xo?I should say not. 1 broached the >? object kindly. '?Matilda,'' said lt *'t suppose you ore aware that I am now voifi; bird and mas ter T "Not much yon ain't," said she, "Mrs, Skinner," fluid, 1, "you are fear fully disorganized. You are cranky." And I brandished my now sixty Cent um brella wildly around In r. She took the itnibreliu away From me, and locked mo up in the clothes press. 1 am quick to draw an inference, and the. inference that 1 drew here was thai 1 was hot it success us a reorganize!- of i' - male women. After this I changed my tactics. 1 let her have her own way, and the plan from the vcrv first worked to a charm. It's the best way ?f managing a wife that I know of. Of course, this is between you nnd me. Its a business worth knowing. So when my wife said she was bound to go on a bridal to^ anyhow, I cordi ally assented. "(Jo Matilda," said I "and stay as long as you want to; then if you feel as though you would like to stay a little longer, stay my dear." She told meto stop talking, and go up Stairs and get her red flannel night cup and that bag of jHmnyroya} for her Aunt Abigail: My \vife.,is a very smart wo man. She was a Baxter, and the Bax ters arc a smart family, indeed. Her mother, who is going on eighty, can fry more slapjacks now than halt* of these primp up town gii;L-?, who rattle on the piano, or walk the streets with their fur belows und fixings, pretending t<> get mad it' u young chap looks at tin ni pret ty hard, hm getting mad in earnest if you take im notice of tliani at ail. Ali? girls ain't what they used to be when J was young, ami the fellows arc Worse siill. When 1 went courting, for ihstiiuce, 1 never thought ol' staying till aller ten o'clock, ami only went twice a welk. Now they j_ro seven nights in tho week, and cry because there ain't eight; t!:on they wiite touching notes to each oilier through the day?"Dear George do you love Jilt? as much nS you did at a cjhartcr to 12 Ihst niglit? Say you do, dearest, and it will give nth courage Lo go down and tackle, tluni cold ? beat is. Lit o\vr !ro::i yestord.-ty." Well, well, 1 suppose they enjoy them selves ami it ain't for us old folks, whose hearts have got a lime calloused by long wear, to interfere. Let them get to gether and i'ouil jfliit'v like it?and I think ;n.-y do.

I "If you wish to keep a town from thriving dont put up any nu\ie buildings I than you can conveniently iieeupy your - - -t- : j ?? - - = ? self.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Evr.xtxi; Jornx.Yi. gives tho following sketch o!' ?Judge Bond:. As many papers in t me country arc mak in'gsi great hue and cry tilmi-.r the Kv.

J have been informed by reliuble persons that when ho was Judgo of tho Criminal Court of your city, he compelled the crier of'snid court; (who was once in tlie ?log busin ss in Baltimore, alsoan engine house keeper, but mow a post-ofiieo detective,) to divide Iiis salary (which was larger than that < f the Judge) with him. He (the Judge) was the delegate tb the Methodist Episcopal ('hureh ('onferonce :it Winches4 ter, Virginia, who seceded from the Con ti rchee because of his strong pro-slavery views, which were antagonistic to the ma jori; v of tlie (Vinfer?uc<. lie it was; while a Judge of the Crim inal Court of your eity,'and as suchst con servator of the pesiee, begged sin officer of the United States ninny to release front his custody Major Harry (?llnior, (a prisoner of war,') in Baltimore, and send his guard home, so that the Union men could hang him (Mujof Gilmor) to lamp post; and he it was who caused the ar rest of many Southern sympathizers in your city during the late war, by means of his influence witii the commanding generals und their provost marshals. While this prating Judge professes Chnalianity, he never was known to improve any opportunity for sowing the gm.d seed, or of teaching, either by pre cept or example, the lessons which we are taught to believe as coming direct from the fountain-head, and certainly his actions do not sippesir to be influenced by the constant kindliness und gentle hearing of those who understand Christi anity to signify not. only faith, purity stud devotion, but also, that pesiee sind good will among men are it.s fundament al principles stud essential elements, Mo; none pftliesol Duplicity is his forte, stud has frequently and faithfully served him.
