The morning sun is breaking, The gorgeous East is waking, And one, in all her splendor, With whispers that are tender, Ai,gelie love is breathing, Angelic life Is wreathing About my heart so nearly, About my soul so dearly, Enchanted with my pleasure, I sing, in joyous measure: There's no wife like my wife. There's no wife like my wife, There is no wife like mine. Her rosy lip is luscious, Her song Is like the thrush's; Her laughing dimples cover The glory of her lover. Like the maiden wave of summer. Whose blue lips overcome her, The lambent cireumfusion Of Lena's charm'd illusion About me floats so airy, It half conceals my fairy. There's no wife like my wife. There's no wife like my wife, There is no wife like mine. Oh, the frolic of her tresses! Oh, her rollicking caressec! And the beaming and the gleaming, And the glory o'er her streaming! So deft and coy her pat is, So debonair her chat is, Her blooming grace illumes me. And Heaven's love consumes me. There's no wife like my wife, There's no wife like my wife, There is no wife like mine. -Hngh F McDcrmot. TB OBNOXIOUS BOARDER. -0 We all disliked him (I refer to that dreadful Small Measure, his first name really being 'Sam,' but changed by us, with one consent, as soon as we beheld him, to 'Small' as much more appropriate) hearti ly enough before ; but after he had the presumption to fall, or pre tend he bad faller., in love with Mildred Dainty, our landlady's pretty daughteE, we absolutely detested him. We had been a community of young artists and scribblers, bar. ring the old gentleman in the third story front, who was a wholesale grocer, and the maiden lady of uncertain age in the fourth story back, who was a milhner-both of them as good natured souls as over lived-with out a discordant spirit previous to his arrival. But ever since that October afternoon he first made his appearance at the front door, arrayed in a drab suit and a felt hat of the same melancholy color, with a brown satchel in one hand and a black silk umbrella in the othor, and inquired, in the meek, est and thin nest of voices, if be 'could obtain board there,' and had obtained board there, our landlady being much impressed by his very respectful manner and the mournful tone in which he re ferred to his mother as 'an angel in heaven,' he had persistently pusbed his way into our circle, eating our oysters, smoking our tobacco and cigars, never recipro cating in the slightest degree, and, ,in short, as Tom Toms expressed it, 'becoming a reg'lar nuisance.' We managed to endure him, how - ever, with many sarcastic remarks and broad-extremely broad hints about interlopers, all of which rebounded lightly from our target, he belonging to that too numerous class the irc yclads, un - til, as I said before, he tried to mnake love to Mildred Dainty. Then, indeed, the already half awakened lion, or, more properly speaking, lions, were aroused, and ready to tear him limb from limb. We, the artistic and literary fellc,ws had known her since she was thirteen years of age, and al -most all of us had beon wildly in love with her before she saw her eighteenth birthday ; but on that auspicious (particularly for him) day she was betrothed to -Charley Seabright. And we were all sin cerely glad-that is, as sincerely glad as rejected suitors could be .that Charley bad won the prize, for he was a splendid fellow, hand some, tialented, generous, and o sya.hat some handsome, generous, IIegtive-?' talented fellows are not day night r Swill ever ale' method of se. Dainty was a queer, shy She flZ with a Roman nose that suggested the nose of Micbael Angelo, looking as though (as war really the case with Mike's) 'mbctsody at an early ptriod of lile had depressed the bridge of it ; a pair of mild blue apologetic eyes; hair-which she arranged in many flat puffs from the nape of her neck to beribrow, causing her bead to resemble a phrenological chart-of a subdued brown ; and a pretty little mouth. The daughter was totally unlike her, except as to mouth, having large merry gray eyes, golden brown hair (which, when un bound, fell to her very foot), a delicate straight nose, rosy cheeks, and a smile like- like-well, George Lee wrote of it once, "4A smile like the flash of the humming bird's wing As it hovers over the lilies." And as Charley was dark, with great black eyes and hair, and mustache to match, they formed an admirable contrast. And some body says, very justly, according to my way of thinking, "In joining contrasts lieth Love's delights." Small Measure, the detested one, had oblique eyes of no particular color (George Lee spoke of them, or of, is the poetical style, one of them, as 'a squinting eye to match a squinting mind,') light red hair, nose and chin sharp as a razor, and a great waste of material in the way of hands and feet. How ever, he was so quiet, and spoke so tenderly of his departed mater nal parert, and was so very de ferential to Mrs. Dainty, that the dear good-hearted woman was quite taken with him, and used to, for a long time after he came among us, try to ward off our wordy attacks by some pleasant remarks nnd adroitly substitute nice slices of meat from her own plate for the lumps . of fat Foil Johnson, who carved, placed upon his, and gave him extra large pieces of pie and cake in the fruit season to indemnify him for the apples, oranges, etc., that Perce Winter and I-we sat at either side of him at table-invariably contrived to confiscate. But after be bad been there about five months we noticed that even Mrs. Dainty began to treat him coolly ; and when he took to fol lowing Millie about and praying for her, dear little innocent girls in a shrill voice at midnight, much to the annoyance of the boarders on his floor, knowing all the time that she was engaged to Charley Seabright, she became downright angry and gave him barely his share of cake and pie-not a jot more. Besides this she confided to Charley, who confided to us, that Small Measure hadn't paid a cent of board for nearly two months, and that he'gave as an explana tion that the old gentleman in whose employ he was was very ill, and accounts could not be squared until he got well again. None of us b'elieved in this old gentleman, whose bookkeeper went to busi ness after lunch and returned home an hour before dinner ; and Tom Toms, who, disguised as a broom-seller, took the trouble to follow him on two occasions, re ported that unless the bookkeep ng was done in a billiard saloon or the Metropolitan Art Museum, none was done on those two oc casions. Well, after our landlady's tacit agreement to our proceedings, we did everything to oust the un welcome guest; but he seemed re solved, as Pauline says in 'The Lady of Lyons,' referring to her own sex, that his 'wings once scorched,' he'd 'cling and cling forever.' Mrs. Dainty summoned up courage and dunned him stern ly. He met her glance with tear ful eyes, spoke of bis once happy hone and its lost guiding spirit, told her a long story about bis sick employer, whom he could not forsake in the hour of adversity, because of his kindness in years long gone, to that dear guiding spirit, and assured her that she shourd be paid the moment he himself was paid. And so another month went by, during which we were painfully conscious that he was quietly sneering at and ex 'utinga over ouranscessaful of. forts to get rid of bim, thereby nearly goading us to madness-or Selby Hardwick, who wrote sen sational stories for the sensational paper, said he was. But at last our chance came. Small Measure informed Mrs. Dainty, as he was departing-to bookkeeping - one spring day, that he should not be back until late that night. We instantly re solved to lock him out, and keep him out. Nothing could have happened better. It was April 1; we'd make a night of it, and a fool of him. Charley Seabright, the only one who always refused to join in any plot against him -'Hang it t' he said, 'I don't want the fellow to think I'm jealous of him'-was away, gone to Boston, and not expected back for three days. Mildred was delighted. 'Don't ever let him in again,' she beg ged. 'Only this morning he pioked up a button that had burst off my shoe, and kissed it, and put it in his vest pocket. I hate him 1 I bate him I And how dare he kiss one of my shoe buttons ?' So we carried our pipes into Kirk Rowe's room-second story front-where we sang, played the violin and guitar, told stories, re peated verses, and discussed art and literature, until ten o'clock, at which hour the rain began to pour down like a second deluge. Merrier and merrier grew our party, and the noise was at its highest, when Perce Winter, who had been listening at the window, struck an attitude and shouted, ''Tis he?' And becoming com paratively silent, we heard him fumbling at the lock with his night-key for a few moments, and then ringing the door-bell, gently at first, but gradually louder and louder. The ringing was imme diately drowned by a jolly chorus, kept up without intermission for a quarter of an hour. At the end of this time he had begun to bang upon the door, and the banging was something fearful to hear, and Mrs. Dainty and the maiden lady, tn light and airy costumes, were entreating us to stop it, from the upper landing. 'Oh, look here, this can't be stood you know,' said Tom Toms. 'I propose that we go down in a body, open the boor suddenly, fall upon him like a thunder-bolt, and drive him off the stoop. And then, if he comes back again. I see nothing for it but a thrash ing.' I seconded the motion. It was carried unanimously. Like a band of Indians on the trail of an ene my, we stealthily descended the stairs. I quietly unbarred the door, took the key from my pock et, and unlocked it, the storm raging so fiercely outside mean while that what little noise I made could not be heaid there, and then, as the door flew open, with a wild whoop we precipitated ourselves upon the unfortunate banger, forcing him down the steps and into the gutter before he could say 'Jack Robinson.' He struggled out and clasped a lamppost that stood near, and as he did so the light from the lamp fell on his face, and a well-known voice fell on our ears: 'For Hea ven's sake, boys, what do you mean ?' It wasn't Small Measure-it was Charley Seabright I Charley our best comrade-our own jolly, generous, splendid old Charley I We dragged him up the steps in still shorter time than we had driven him down, and into the hall, where we had his rain soaked overcoat off in an instant, and were about to carry him up-stairs with a wild confusion of tongues -'Why didn't you send word you were coming, .old man ?' 'By Jove I it's too bad !' -You're t he ;last person of whbom we were~ tinkig'-when Perce Winter exclaimed, -But a here, ob, where is that wretch Small Measure ?' 'I'm here,' said a soft, hypocriti cal voice over the balust.ers, 'very comfortable, thank you, and I've quit enjoyed the entertainment you gents have been givin'. I came right away after goin' out this afternoon, because seein' a little boy nassin' with a piece of paper pinned to his hack, I suddenly re membered that it was April-fools' Day, and I was afraid somebody might make a fool of me. And I think it's distressin' to be made a fool of, particularly an April-fool. Good-night, and pleasant dreams!' But he left the next day, just as Mrs. Dainty had avowed her intention of invoking the aid of the law. His mother, who looked like anything but an angel though, to do her justice, she was much better loo!''ng than her son -came after hi' .. 'The scamp,' she said, 'a-robbin' the money drawer, and a-leavin' me all alone to take care of the shop-pork, ma'am, quite extended, from a assage to hull a hog-and I nev ar knowin' where he was till this blessed mornin', and I ahouldn't 'a knowed then if he badn't been a-boastin' to a young ;al what lives in our neigh boor. hood-he met her out walkin' last unday-about the pretty young lady he was a-goin' to marry, and live quite the gentlemen in a gen teel boardin'-house. And she was that mad at bi" kissin' a shoe.bit ting and sich rubbidge-he havin' oust kep' company with herself that she follered him unbeknown to this house, und then came and tol' me. He allus was a sly boots, that Sam, and I've had heaps of trouble with him ; but I'll pay you what he owes you, ma'am, and look his conduct over, as I've done many times before ; but he'll have to mind his P's and Q's after this, I can tell you.' And so we got rid of him at last, though not exactly as we had intended.-Harpers' Weekly. 15stUtwwti __5 HOW TO ESCAPE NERVOUS. NESS. Nervousness is nervous weak ness. The principal sign of a feeble nervous organization is an excessive degree of irritability of one or more of the organs of the body. If the nervous system be weak, the organs to which the nerves are distributed will also be weak, and a weak organ is always an irritable one. It takes very little to throw such an organ out of its orderly course of action. Some slight cause or other acting on a 'ner vous' brain creates such a degree of irritability that its possessor feels as if he would like to 'jump out of his skin,' or he may be thrown into a paroxysm of intense emotional disturbance, or a sick headache, and attack of hysteria, or even a more severe disorder may result. A 'nervous' eye or ear is annoyed by unusual or per. sistent lights or sounds; a 'nervous' eart palpitates or flutters after slight mental or bodily exertion ; a 'nervous' stomach is irritated by food which a healthy baby could easily digest, and the condition known as 'nervous dyspepsia' is induced ; and a 'nervous' spine, to sepify no further causes de rangements of nearly all the or gans of the body. To cure these various disorders is often difficult and sometimes impossible. To prevent them even in persons pre disposed to nervousness is com paratively an easy matter. The whole hygiene of the sub ject is embraced in this sentence : Strengthen the nervous systemn. How is'this to be done ? 1st. The first prescription is an ample supply of pure, fresh and cool air. The nerves will always be weak if the greater part of the day and night be passed in close, ill - ventilated and over - heated apartments. The nerves more than the rest of the body, to be properly nourished, require a full snpply of oxygen. They will not endure vitiated air, whether from sewers, gas-lights, subterranean turnaces or the in,dividua's own person, without makinag an' ener getic protest. A gas-burner consuming foui cubic feet of gas per hour produces more carbonic acid in a given time than is evolved from the respira tin of eight adult human beings Bear this in mind, you who suffel from niervousness, that when yot h..ave uyorselves up in vonu rooms and lighted an argand burner (whi-h consumes about twelve cubic feet of gas per hour) you are to all intents and purposes immured with twenty-three other persons, all taking oxygen from the atmosphere. Is it a wonder that after several hours' exposure to the depraved air your nerves should rebel as fast as their weak state permits and that your head should ache, your hands tremble, and that your daughter's playing on the piano almost drives you wild. An overheated apartment always enervates its occupants. It is no uncommon thing to find rooms heated in winter by an under ground furnace up to ninety do grees. Fights and murders are i more numerous in hot than in cold weather, and the artificially heated air that rushes into our rooms deprived as it is of its nat ural moisture by the baking it has undergone, is even more pro- I ductive of vicious passions. It is no surprising circumstance, there fore to find the women, who swel ter all day in such a temperature and adds to it at night by super fluous bed-clothing, cross and disa greeable from little every day tronbles that would scarcely ruffle her temper if she kept her rooms at sixty-five degrees and opened the windows every now and then. 2d. Eat plenty of well-cooked and nourishing food. The nerves cannot be kept healthy on slops. Gruels, panadas teas are well enough in their way, but the nerves require for their proper nourishment undiluted animal and vegetable food; as a ruJe the for mer should predominate. Meat eaters are rarely troubled with nervousness. Americans eat more vegetables than any other well-to do people, and they are probably the most 'nervous' nation on the face of the earth. 3d. Take sufficient physical ex ercise in the open air. When you feel irritable, tremulous, fretful fidgety, and unable to concentrate' your thoughts on the veriest trifle, take a long wrlk, or split half a cord of wood. Even the extreme nervousness ()f hluaties is best quieted by bodily labor. The homicidal maniac who cannot if kept. in his cell be trusted with a bodkin may safely be given a spade, pickax or hoe and set to work -in the garden. His irrita bility is quietly led off into ano ther and safer channel, and his nerves are strengthened. These are the principal rules. If they wer'e faithfully followed, there would be less work for us doctors to do.- Win. A. Hammond, in Our Continent. The promise, 'My grace is suffi ent for thee,' is a consoling one to every Christian, and at the same time the communicable, or Christian graces, 'love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, good ness, meekness and temperance are food to his soul. The Chris tian graces have been compared to trees-the more they are shaken by storms the deeper root they take, and the more fruit they bear.' Life is full- of bitter lessons, the simplest ef which is that one man's fall makes forty men laugh. Do not consider any virtue trivial, and so neglect it, or any vice trivial, and so practice it. Friendship is a strong inclina tion in two persons to promote the happiness of each other. Predominant opinions' are gen erally the opinions of the gen era tion that is vanishing. Nature has sometimes made a fool, but a coxcomb is always of a man's own making. People's intentions can only be decided by their conduct. We are near waking when we dream that we dream. A hen to-morrow is better than an egg to-day. Publish your joys, but conceal A PCTURESQUE BEGGAR. A .Ne w York paper of a recent date says: People who took a stroll on the lower part of Broad way early yesterday morning had the pleasure of witnessing an unusual sight, even in this cosmo politan city. This was a thorough ly characteristic specimen of the lazzaroni of 'sunny Italy,' witL )ut tlhe hand-organ and monkey 3ttachment. The specimen had avidently been out of Castle Gar len but a very short time, pre iumably but a few hours, for while pursuing his profession of egging he frequently stopped aze habout him in apparent wonder at the massive buildings >n either side of the street. He lowly forged his way bp Broad vay, crossing from one side to he other, as he espied a specially usceptible looking party strolling oward the Battery. He was the )icture of health, and apparently iot more than twenty-five years )ld. His most noticeable charac eristie was a peculiar jacket. It was made of undressed skin, trim ned with fur. Down the center >f the back were two stripes of imbroidery in gay colors, each .erminating in a bit of fancy igured work. The jacket was :aught togetber in front by loops >f imitation gilt braid. Taken iltogetber, it was a picturesque )it of costume to find on Broad ay, and attracted considerable ttention. It was, however, the eculiar style of begging in which be artist-for he was an artist in his business-indulged that was a revelation to nearly every one who saw him. When a person ipproached him the beggar would take off the shaggy cap be wore nd with a graceful sweep of his rm seem to deposit it on the walk close to the person appealed t.o. At the same time le bent one knee until it almost touched the sidewalk. Surprise was the first thing noticed in the features of the party appealed to, followed in most instances by a smile and a look of disgust. Immediately op posite Trinity church two well dressed men to whom the beggar appealed tried to kick him,evident ly disgusted with a specimen of mankind who could so thoroughly degrade hilnself as this one was doing. After these rebuffs, which seemed to cause the lazzaroni more surprise than the peculiar manner of begging surprised the passers-by, the Italian crossed to theother side of Broadway, possi bly because he thought he was working on some other beggar's territory. For fully half an hour, while a reporter watched him, the fellow received nothing in the way of alms, although the boot blacks and proprietors of peanut and fruit stands from the same sunny Italy looked most eon tempt ously at him, and followed him with volleys of curses as he moved on. In front of Trinity church e practiced successfully his plan of begging upon a handsomely dressed lady who was walking down town. A dainty purse was opened, a few coins were taken therefrom, and a small cleanly gloved hand was extended to drop the coins into the cap. Suddenly the beggar caught the hand with his right hand and pressed it to his lips. Surprised at this action and at the muttered Italian words that accompanied the action, the lady quickly withdrew her hand from the contaminating touch of the lazzaroni's lips. The action scattered the coin on the side walk tnd frightened the beggar so that he dropped forward on his hands and knees as the lady moved rapid' ly down Broadway. There was a look of astonishment on the beg nar's face and a muttered oath, presumably at American mannere or lack of manners according to the manner in which he look ed at it. Then he gathered up his coins and carefully deposited them in a rather plethoric purse that he took from an inner pocket o his jacket. He looked down Lhe street after the rapidly re treating form of probably his first victim, turned o'n his heel, shook his head, pulled down his cap, anc lowly started up Broadway, fol lowed bthe gi abes and jeers o: several Italian bootblacks, who apparently were much ashamed of their countryman. THE EAVESDRoPPEa.-The most contemptible thing in nature is the eavesdropper. The name was originally given to the person who listened beneath the windows and at the doors of people's houses, but custom authorizes its use in speaking of any of the tribe of contemptible sneaks who peek about and listen and pry into their neighbors' affairs. The eavesdropper bears the im press of his character upon his countenance and betrays it in his sneaking slip-slop gait. He sidles I into every eompany where he thinks any private matter is being discussed, and peeks over their shoulders with his mouth agape like a young chimney swallow waiting for a worm, and here he will stay until the company is either compelled to change the subject of their talk or seek some spot not infested by the eaves dropper. Let two gentlemen sit down at any point along the street and engage in private con, versation, and it :will not be long before the eavesdropper takes up his position near them to pry into what does not concern him. Your . eavesdropper has no shame. He cannot take a hint, and there are but two ways. to get rid of him. One is to go where he can't find you, and the other is to kick him for his insolence. Those who prefer the former method can take it, but as for ourself we have ditermined to adopt the latter, the next time occasion re quires. In a dispute with an infidel the purity of the Bible is an overwhelm ing argument. The sermon on the mount, if all the circumstances be considered, will be regarded, by.any profound thinker, as a greater miracle than the raising of Lazarus. There was a man here last night you needn't be afraid that I shall mention his name-who said that his will was given up to God, and who got mad because the omnibus was full and he had to walk a mile to his lodgings. The old in religion dies out, the old error, the old dispensation, the old superstition, but not the old re ligion. This is forever new and for ever fresh. For this there is no de cline, no decay ; for it is the life of God in the soul. For every vice or virtue a man ex hibits he generally gets credit or dis credit for a whole brood. The heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touched by the thorns. The two great movers of the hu man mind are the desire of good and the fear of evil. To despise our own species is the price we must too often pay for a knowledge of it. The woman and the soldier who do not defend the first pass will never defend the last. The very cunning conceal their cunning ; the, indifferently shrewd boast of'it. 'I can't account for it !' ex claimed the defaulting bank cashier. May not a jury be said to be selfish when they have a greed ? He that swells in prosperity will be sure to shrin k in adversity. Sow good services; sweet re membrances will grow from them. Idleness is the refuge of weak minds, and the holiday of fools. Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing them. By reading we enrich t&e mind ; by conversation we polish it. Opinion is the great pillar that upholds the commonwealth. Try your skill in gilt first, then in gold. TEXAM SIFTINGS. Texas is the h ' lthiest country in the world. We recently came across a San Antonio paper, in which it was stated in as many words, that 'the'. remains of a man killed forty years ago were discovered plowing in Cen tral Garden ' In no other State, and in no other city in the State,is the } air so salubrious that the remains of a man killed forty years before ca. be seen plowing. The attention of in valids is called to this astonishing evidence of the salubrious quality of the San Antonio. atmosphere. 'Now,' said the Austin justice to: the witness, 'you will please tell pre cisely how it happened.' 'Yes, sir, I'll try. The . prisoner and that man were eating dinner at the same table, and they got to quar reling, when the prisoner just up with a dab. of mashed Irish potatoes and hit that other man on the head with it.' 'Do you, sir,' said the justice stern ly, 'pretend to tell the court that a dab of mashed potatoes, even when i thrown with the greatest. violence, can make a gash five inches long on a man's head, and knock him senseless? If you trifle with the court you will be locked up. 'Judge, I reckon I forgot to say that when the prisoner threw the dab of mashed potatoes at the man, he.for got to first take the .dab out of the " dish.' The Woman's Christian Temperance Union at San Antonio, passed some resolutions, the other day, one of wbich is to the effect that: 'Thou sands of widows sit in hopeless weedg on account of strong drink.' Those widows ought to come out of the weeds right off. If they don't, they will be all covered over with redbugs and seed.ticke. What are those widows doing in theeweeds any how ? Come out of the weeds. THE SMALLEST BABY ALIVE--A gentleman from Candelaria informs us that the smallest baby in the world was born in that camp at noon on the 3d ult. The father is a miner in the employ of the Northern Belle mine and weighs 190 pounds. The mother is a stout, healthy wo. man, weighing perhaps 160 pounds. The child is a male, as perfectly 4 formed as any human being can I but upon its birth only weighed eight - ounces. Its face is about the size of . a horse chesnut and the size of limbs can be imagined wrhen we say that a ring worn on the little finger of its mother was easily slipped over its i foot nearly up to the knee. Our in. formant states that it was the opinion of the attending physician that the child would live and prosper in good health, notwithstanding its diminu . tive proportions. The midget is so small that three of its size could play hide and seek in a cigar box. This i~ believ'ed to be the smallest baby ever born.-Carson (Nevada) Appeal. I had rather, as a forgiven child, with all the prospects of the future opened up unto me, wear theecrown - purchased by the redeeming love of. Christ, than that which is.worn by > the unfallen angels, because the bless ings of a divine atonement through a divine incarnation, secured to the soul in harmony with the eon dition of the gospel, reveals the ~ character of God in a way impossible to be made known to those who had corn plied with all that, the law demands: and this places the sinner, peniten~ and forgiven, upon a platform of ex perience and personal relationship to God, of a nature so peculiar and ao extraordinary as to throw al other stars, glittering never so brightly inR the heavenly firmament, into compara tive obscurity, contrasted with the ex eptional brilliancy of the State whial involves the strange anomaly of jus tice and mercy joined together, the law sustained and the sinner sayed. [Rev. Philips Brooks. The human mind needs the sup. port of kindred opinion,-at least it; always loves it; but it is indispensa ble to it in religious convictions, the very basis of which is the profoundest feeling of community. The mother's yearning, that corn pletest type of life in another life which is the essence rof real human love, feels the presence of the cherished child even in the base, dq. graded man.
