VOL. 6. COX
The Last of George Augustus.
Dear me! I am so glad that this ,
dreadful winter is at last over! What :
between panics and banks breaking,
and immigrants, and not having had
ma one new uicsh uns whole winter,
I feel as if a month more would have
crushed me.
Yes, positively, I haven't had but .
one now dross! As goon as George
Augustus oaine homo ami told ine
about the panic and the dread,'ul time
in store for us, (he always prophesies
evil) and said that we must retrench,
I knew what that meant. It meat that
1 wasn't to have any new things; sv> I
just went down and bought my new
dress as last as possible and hail the
hill &< nt on to George Augustus before
he could say anything more about it.
1 really do think it is rather hard lor
mo to have to practice ecomoinv, and
I don't believe ho bought a bit less
than he always does. I think that
clause in 11 us marriage service where
the gentleman says ho endows you
with all his worldly goods ought to
bo shuck out for giving a wrong impression.
I remember how George
Augustus rolled his voice when he j
said it, and I really think his impression
was that he was giving me a
princely fortune. I no\ er dreamt that,
it meant that I would have to cook!
There is one thing certain, though,
and that is. Til never wash or iron for
him. lie wouldn't do it lor me. So
he may just iron 'em himself, T don't
intend to work myself to death, and
. i.,... i., t :... - *
im u n??u 111:11 g-> uiui iiiiirry some
body else ! oh, no! not I!
George Augustus is very busy in
his garden now, but 1 nni really beginning
to doubt \\ hcther a garden
may not. be a piofanc post, foi?he is
saying "dogs take it," every time he
goes into it. All ol my chickens have
what is called "blind staggers"?at last
I think it uinst he that. George Allgustns
has thrown at them so much
with bricks, and whatever comes to
ids hand. Poor things! Men have
no feeling, I think.
George Augustus went to the Taxpayers1
( '(invention. I think he ought I
to have been sent to Washingt.o, too,
but his country seems strangely oblivious
of George Augustus. The one
thing that makes me think, it is just as
well that lie did not go, however, is
that ho would not have had money to
pay his hotel bill, and I should not
have liked to have run away without
paying it and be advertised in the
papers. I do think it rather hard,
though, in tho newspaper people not
to report any of his speeches. lie. told
me he made one every day, and not
Due was reported. I think it is a
marne tor people to be ho partial. 1
enow it is just because George Augustus
is poor. It he *vero rich everybody
would see his merit quick j
enough. Oh, this world, this world! j
Mamma and Gcorgo Augustus had ]
i dreadful quarrel about that same .
jonvention. She said she thought hey
ought to do something about <
,he taxes, that, here she was a widow, .
nvned a little property, and half of it ]
?ad to goto pay taxes; that she really <
bought it was time for our men to do (
mmelhing to defend the weak and ,
iclpless like herself. George Angus- j
us told her he thought she was quite t
ible to take care of herself. She said
f tilings went on this way, and our
nen sat with their hands folded and 1
'id nothing, she would be obliged to c
ell out and come and live with us. \
George Augustus said if she did he'd t
urn Radical. Mamma said, "1*0011. I
100860861'* I declare I never saw any- 1
>ody like mamma. She reminds me t
>f that man in the circus, Ilerr Leugcl, i
vho goes into the lion's cago and *

ions jump all about and do whatever \

and got places for several immigrants.

scholar, hut somehow they have everyone

I shall feel much more satisfied in my
mind, because you know I wore my
last year's hat the whole ol'one winter
instead of buying a now one, in order '
to buy a ticket in the immigration
concern, whioh never did inc any good.
I hate to think of such a sacrifice (you
don't know how hard it is to wear an
old hat when everybody else has new 1
ones) being wasted, but if it had '
helped the sState, of course, it would
alleviate il a good deal.
I wish somebody would got up a
temperance crusade here. It is so
dull! You seo we poor women can't
cock-lights or Hums' suppers, or vote
or make speeches, and it really is too
narrowing to have to stay at home and
cook and mend holes in vest pockets. !

I think :v crusade is what we could
come out. strong in. So if any of my
sister sufferers will inaugurate reform
they have my best wishes, it not my
actual presence with them.
1 attempted a private crusade on my
own account the other night., and had
an overwhelming success. Gem-gel
Augustus had gone to a something or- !
other (St. Patrick's day, 1 believe)
supper, lie is such a gonial wholesouled
fellow, throws himself with
such zeal into anything o( the kind.
At the sehutzenfest, George Augustus
may be seen shooting with the calm
placidity of the German; oil 8t. Patrick's
Day he marches along in the
procession, as hold an Irishur as any
there; at the Hums supper ho always
makes a speech and sings "Annie
Laura." 1 always blush when 1 read
that in the paper next day. I know
what it is, ho used to sing it to me. In
short, ho always celebrates every anniversary
that ho possibly can, except
the Fourth of July, which he says he
lias given up "on principle." George
Augustus says he'd rather bo a British
slave than a so-called American freeman.
By the way, speaking ot the
Bi itish, I wonder if a delegation of enlightened
Englishmen had presented
Queen Victoria with a petition for the
Redress of Grievances, whether she
would have made it a personal matter,
as our little man-of-war at Washing
ton did the other day!
But to return to my crusade. Well,
it was about eleven o'clock at night.
*nd Geoige Augustus had not come.
I got tired of sitting by myself in the
parlor, rcadimr. and- besides t.hm <? w?l?; I
? horrid bat ui there, and I was afraid
)f it. So I went out on tlio }>orch,
xnd sat 011 the steps in tho moonlight.
I'rescntly I saw George Augustus
joining along a little unsteady in his 1
;ait. I thought to myself that wan a
jood opportunity to try tho effect of 1
nusioon him. So I commenced with
.he .Methodist revival hymn i
"Come all ye mourning sinner?." '
lie came up the pathway and seated 1
umself in silence on the steps. I went '
>n singing, and saw George Augustus ,
was inneh impressed. By the time I i
jot to tho end George Augustus said
ic was a miserable wretch and leaned 1
lis head on his hands in an attitude (
)t abject misery. I thought to ,
nyselt' that this was decidedly en- i
ouraging, and struck up "Father,
tome home." At-the end of the first .
rerse George Augustus was shedding ?
ears. This is better and better,
bought I, so I made my voico still (
nore wailing and mournful in tho oth
>r verses. I did expect some effect, 1
>ut was not prepared for the burst of ]
roe with which George Augustus j
greeted tho end ot the song. Me said |
le was a most miserable wrench, a vil- \
ain who was a bane to society. It I
iotnroenoed to bo a littlo embarrassing, 1

Amply stored with two years' proyis- !

instruments, she goes out to prosecute
a most important scientific investigation,
which bears directly on the no- .

Captain Chandler, who goes out at |
lite head ol the expedition, is a line I.
genial oliicor, with a good record, as |
much respected out of the navy as
among his o\\ n fraternity. Lieutenant,
Commander Wilkius, the navigator,
is a volunteer olliccr who has
had great experience in the South Seas
and also in the north, among the
Arctic ice. It is prohahly due to his
record ih tl the department placed
him in the responsible post ot navigator.
Lieutenants Hunker, Little

will do credit to the cruise. The
stations that will he visited by the
Swalara are as follow:
Ilobart. Town, Van Dieman's Land;
New Kngland; Cro/.et Island; Chatham
Island.
The expedition will sail lor Capo
Town direct, and will probably make

sun's distance made its appearance in
his dav, lie gives us to gather what,
tin se thoughts were from the opiniotiH
of the earth and I iie u nive.r-e t hen generally
held by the learned t dinks.
These .vere that the earth was the
chief body in the universe; thai it v\ u 1
but a flat plane, w ho nj eenlre v. a at 1
l>elphi; that the sun was merely a )
secondary, uncertain and easily inllu 1

over the earth, but was ii--. ll acted on
on by the same forces which we See
ae.tine around us, but to so threat an

f rom this we may fairly judge that
tho Egyptians, whom lie rites, and his
own learned I recks, di<I not consider
the sun to be further oil' than ton miles
h'oin lite earth, tor 111 c* y did not consider
ii 10 winds at any greater distance.
Not, long after this, however, Auavagnras

to bo three minutes ? t wenty

lown Time's stream, the lamous old 1
Kepler made the sun's distance to he j
10,400,000 miles. The transits of
1701 and 1700 put it further l.o our late
ii'hool listrononiy distance ot 0.7,000,000
