I told her she had better wait six mouths or a year, nod I'd try to go with her, but she said she rather go aloue ?when a woman was traveling a umu was an out-and-out humbug. So I gave her seventy five cents, and told her to go off and have a good time. I never begrudge money where my wife's hnppinc s is concerned. My first wife never could complain of not goiug any wheres, for I'm dreadful fierce to go off on a good time myself, and always was. I dou't pretend to say how many times I touk her out to sec the engine squirt, aud there was no end to tho free lectures I let her go to. The neighbors used to say : ''It does beat all how the Skinners go !" When Signor Blitz was in Slunkvillc, with his wonderful canaries, he gave my -SL -Xt SL CjJVl'jnl.i.niqntarv ticket. I not only sold that ticket for my wife, but I gave her half the money. I dou't bonHl of it. though ; only mention it to show how mi m il I thought of my wife's happiness. I don't think any man ought, to get married till he can consider his wife's happiness only second to his own. John Wise, a ucighbor of mine, did thusly, aud when I got married 1 concluded I'd do like Wise. Hut tho plan didn't work in the ease j of my second wife. No, I should think I not. I broached the subject kindly. '?Matilda," I said, "I suppose you are aware that l am now your lord and mas ter." "Not much you ain't," said she. "Mrs. Skinner," l replied, uyoti nre tearfully demoralized. You need reor ganising at once You arc cranky." And I brandished mv ?dvtv.twu cent umbrella wildly around her. She took the umbrella away from me. and locked me up in the elotheSpress. I am quick to draw an inference, and the inference I drew here was. that 1 ' was not a success as a rcoignui/.er of female women After this, I changed my tactics. I let her have her own way, and ?hc plan worked to a charm from the very first. It's the best way of managing a wife that I know of. Uf course this is between i you and inc. So when my wife was bound to go off I on a bridal tour anyhow, I cordially as I scnted. "Go, Matilda," said I "and stay as long uu you want to; then if you feel as though you would like to stay a littlo while longer, stay, dear,stay." She told me to stop talking, and go up stairs and get her red flannel night-cap, and that bag of t.enuy-royal for her aunt Abigail. My wife is a very smart woman. She was a 1! .xter, uud lim Baxters urea very smart family indeed. Her mother, who is going on eighty, can fry more slap jacks now, than half these primped up city girls, who rattle on the piano, or else Walk the street with their furbelows und fixing, preteuding to get mad if a young chap looks at 'cm pretty hard, but getting mad in earnest if you dou't take any notice of them at all. Ah 1 girls ain't what they used to be when I was young, and the fellows arc worse still. When I went courting, for instance, I never thought of si-tying till after ten e'cloek, and only went twice a week. Now they go seven nights iu a weck, and cry because there ain't eight. They write touching notes to each other during tho day. "Dear George, do you love me as much now as you did at a quarter past twelve last night? Say you do, dearest, end it will give nie courage to go down stairs and tackle them cold beans left over from yesterday." Well, well, I suppose they enjoy them nclves, and it ain't for us old folks, whoso hearts havo got a little calloused by long wear, to interfere. L"t them get together and court if they like it, and I think thoy do. I was forty-seven when I courted m> present wife, btit it seemed just as nice to sit on a littlo cricket at bor feet and let her smooth my hair, as it did thirty years ago. As I said beforo, my wife is a very smart woman, but sho couldu't bo any thing else, and a Baxter. Sho uaod to give lectures on Woman's Rights, and in one place where she lectured, a big ool* rege conferred the title of L. L. I), upon hef. Hut she Wouldn't toko it. "No, geu'.letnen," sho said, "give it to tho poor." She always was just bo charitable. She gave my boys permission to go barefooted all winterti*d-insisted upon it so much in her tyind way, that they could not refuse. i? She fairly doles oe^my children, an* I've seen her many \% time go to their truwscrs pocket and ?he out their pen nies after they'd god to sleep, and put them in her bureau drawer for fear they might loose them. .7* * ? * I started to toll y?'n sbout my wife's bridal tour, but the fatWis, I never could find out much about it [myself. I bulicve she had a good time-. 8he came back improved in health, jaud I fouud out, be.ore she had been iulthohouse twenty four hours, that she had gniued in strength also. I don'fettay how I found it out. I simply say I found it out. In conclusion I woutoNsny to all young men: Marry your second wife first, and keep out of debt by ?1 menus, even if you have to boriow modSy* to do it. The Natur ok RoosJriSRs.?Roosters according to profane history, if mi edu kashun remembers me ?fight, were fortn j-Clb, "1 '.ti/Wl-, wbo cum suddenly upon one ov the heathen gods, at a tune TvTtc'h" he was not prepared tew see company, aud war. for that offence rebuilt over into the first rooster, aud waz forever afterwards destined tew crow, az a kind ov warning. This change from a roan nkounts for their fighting abilities, and for their po liteness to the hens. Thnrc is uothiug in a man that a woman admires more than his reddyuess and ability to smash another fellow, and it is jisso with a bun, When a rooster gets licked, the hens all j march off with the other rooster, if he ain't half so big or h ntdsomc. It is pluck that wins a ben or a wo-! man. Roosters di?o but very little household work. They won't Inj enny eggs, nor try to hatch .cuny, nor tee to the young j ones. This 'satisfy* me that there is rjuiv ?....!. :?.. t.- ?4,1 ?Jku?ul ui ) the rooster's fust origin.

Josh Bilb'ig?. Rim kok a Moment.?The British ship Rritaunia was wrecked off the coast j of Brasil, and had on board a large con- | sigument of Spanish dollars, la the , hope of saving some of them a number of barrels were br ught ou deck, but the I vessel went to pieces so fust that the only ' hope for life was iu taking at once to the ; boats. The last boat was about to push [ off, when 11 young midshipman went back j to sec if any one was still on board. To j bis surprise, there sat a man 011 deck with a hatchet iu his hand, with which he hud broken open several of tho casks, the contents of which he was now heap ing up about him. ??What are you doing there ?" shouted the youth. "Don't you know the ship is fast going to pieces ?" ''The ship may," said the man; "I have lived a poor wretch all my life, and I am determined to die rich," His remonstrances wore answered only by another flourish of the butcbet, and he was left to his fate. We should count such a person a mad man, but he has too many imitators. Men seem determined to die rich at all hazards. Least of all risks do they count the chance of losing the soul iu the struggle, at any moment at all. And yet the only r'n' .-h we can hug to our bosom with joy iu our dyiug hour, are the riches of graco through Jesus Christ, which wo must ninko ours before the dark hour comes. Buckwheat Cakes.?These are prei '.arly adapted to cub! leather. The appotito caves them, and they supply the Bystciu with warmth, to enable it to resist for a long time the feeling of hunger. But they must be made just right, and h?r? iv ? prime recipe r Make a thin batter with a quart of flour, half a cup of yeast, warm water aud a little salt. Let it rise over night. Bake on both sides on a griddle. A little of tho batter left in toe rising dish will serve as yeast for tho next bath, it is better to add a teaspoonful af saleratus before baking in the morning, and it is very essential that this be good and strictly puro. The Last Morsel. All that remained of the last loat of bread which widow M-could call her own, was npon tho table. Where the next morsel of food was to come from wus a question to which the widow her self could not givo a ready response. Three little children looked up with love and trust into 'her face, and called her ?'mother." For six months she had pro vided as best she could, for their many necessities, with her own feeble hands ; but health and strengt*, failed?a severe pain in her chest preventing her from working so hard. Added to this, but little sewing was to be obtained, and for that little the remuneration -s-as scanty ?a pittance. What was she aud her three fatherless little ones to do ? It was a bright day. The gladness of nature was a mockery to her heart. She placed her children around the board, aud leaving her humble abode, she hied herself to Greenwood. Tears streamed down her pallid cheeks as sho tr??d the well-worn track to her. husband's grave. The widow start utfas Brie can gilt "sigiiT of a w'httc -4flaL, newly erected at the head of her lost compan ion's grave. It was an honor she had long yearned to pay his memory, but she lacked the means. Who bad fulfilled her wishes so exactly ? She pressed tor ward and read : Sacred to the Memory of S-M-, Who died ''really beloved by All who Knew 11 im. In tho Thirty-third year of his Age. Near the top was carved a Masonic emblem. The woman knelt upon the sod, and blessed the widow's God for this token of his mercy. "Surely," she thought and murmured aloud, '-those who hav*? 1 ?????? b? if..l -c <\.. ,i_ dering ashes of the dead will not be en tirely unmindful of welfare of the liv ing." A strong confidence was born in her heart. She arose and retraced her steps. '?Mamma." said the little ones, totter ing toward her as she approached the door; "a man came here just now, and left a whole basketful id' nice things which he says was sent to us, but he would not say who scut them. There is meat ami bread, aud tea, and sugar, and I don't know what all ! Haven't wc got kind friends, mamma ?" Now you won't look sad any more. Sure enough, the woman found her pressing necessities relieved, aud supplies were sent her from time to time, aud continued for years to be sent. Who were the self-constituted guardians? It is unnecessary for us to name them, but we vouch for the ttuth of the story from personal knowledge.?I'omaot/'* Democrat. Fashion.?Fashion rules the world, and a most tyrannical mistress she is, compelling people to submit to the most inconvenient things imaginable, for fashion's sake. She pinches our feet with tight shoes, or chokes us with a tight handkerchief, or squeezes the breath out of our body by t'ght lacing. She makes people hit up at nights when they ought to be iu bed, nod keeps them iu bed in the morning wheu they ought to be up and doing. She makes it vulgar to wait on our selves, and genteel to live idle and useless. She makes pcoplo visit when they would rather stay at home, eat when they arc not hungry, aud driuk wheu lh.:y are not thirsty. She invades our pleasures and inter rupts our business. Sbo compels people to drcsc gaily, whether upou their property or that of others; whethor agreeablo to the word of God or the dictates of pride. Phc !111 *1 the I.r.v# 1 rK 2nd produces sickness, disease ami occasions death. She makes foolish parents, invalids of childreu, aud servants of all. She is a tormentor of conscience, do spoiler of morality, an enemy of religion, and no ono cau be her companiou and enjoy oitbur. She is a despot of tho highest grade, full of intrigue and cunning; and yet husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sous, daughter?., aud servants, blaok and white, voluntarily have heroine her obedient servants and slaves, and vie with ono another to see who shall be most obsequ ious.'1 Protection to Horses ?Many of the best -teamsters protect tho breast of their horses by a piece of cloth about two feet square, hanging down from the lower end of the collar. This is so ex cellent practice in cold weather, as the most important part of the animal is con stantly sbcltered from tho cold wind, es pecially when traveling towards a strong current. The forward end of horse blankets should be made as closely around the breast of n horse as our garments fit our bodies. Some men have been using horses all their lives on the principle of forcing obedience by the whip, without ever learning the truo system of caressing, coaxing aud rewarding by such means as the animal can appreciate. A hand ful of gruss suatched from the roadside and given to your horse when tired, will do more good than a cat with a' whip. Tho horse is not ungrateful, treat him kindly, snd he will serve yo^laithfully. He is fond of being patted, anil we should UiVre advantage of this trait in his disposition. How to Fit a Collar to a Horse. ?In purchasing a Collar for your horse, it is important to get one that fits him. as both the animal aud yourself will thus bo saved much annoy-anc-. The Harness and Carriage Journal says ; "The plan adopted in the West, and which, we arc assured by men who have been long in the collar business, docs not injure the collar iu the least, is to dip it in water until the leather is thoroughly wet, then put it on the burse, secure tho liames firmly, keeping it there uutil it becomes dry. It is all the better if heavy loads are to be drawn, as that causes the col lar to be more evenly fitted to the neck and sholder. If possible, the collar sho uld be kept on from lour to ?ve hours' wlieu it will be perfectly diy aud retain the same shape ever afterward, aud an it-is exactly fitted to the form of the necx, win never produce cnaies or wrc ou the horse's ueck," A Little film, Buried A lue.? About - four weeks ago a little German girl iu Brooklyn, Ohio, took sick with the lock-jaw, and iu a few days she was thought dead and buried. Ou the even ing of her burial, the mother, for seme reason was led to the grave, aud, with her car pressed close to the ground, thought she beard a noise aud believed her child to be moving iu its coffin. She withheld from asking assistance for fear of being ridiculed, and immediately pro cured a spade uud began to dig up the earth. Suou she came to the coffin, and hurriedly taking it from the earth, open ed it and there found the body of her child nine hours after its burial, as warm us if it were ??ng, ou its side. She took the child to her house, where a phy j sibian was immediately called iu, and every restorative applied to briug the child to lite was too late. The soul had taken its flight, and iu a few hours more the body was cold and icy. It was soon buried again, and has not since bee . dis turbed ?Buffalo Express. A Washington letter says : "Two rep resentatives of foreign banking bouses (one from London and one from Frank fort) have arrived in this country for the purpose of making propositions to tho government to negotiate abroad a four and a half per cent, louu, should Con gress authorize it, on tho plan submitted by Secretary Bnutvrell in his auuual re port, and which will be considered at an early day by the Sonate Finance Com mittee. '1 hey state that if the interest is made payable somi-nnnually in Lon don, Paris and Frankfort, they will bo able to effect, the sale of nt lea** two hundred millions of dollars of such a loan. Pending the action of Congress on this question, the terms on which these foreign houses "ill undertake tbo proposed loan will be submitted to the Secretary of the Troasury. These are of I course based ou a commission, which, it is said, will be much less than was paid for selling the five twenties. The Coward estate in Eugland, claimed by American heirs, is said to amount to $'l 50,000,000, and the prospect* are be lieved to be good for the rocovery of the entire sum. All tho foreign line has be come oxtinct in the death of William Coward, in England, in 1817. No heirs have appeared, mO psop?r*y ni-S- put in tho bands of three trustees to manage for the benefit of future olaimants. Some of the heirs ef thij estate are roai 1 dents of Toronto, New Jersey Tri? Lancaster Ledger say a : Our able cotoTUporary of ttit Hairfield Her aM advocates a more liberal policy and loss prejudice in political affairs?espe. cially in our own State. ITe thinks the white people of tho State should sicae the weapon* manufactured by the bitter enders in (.'ongresa and turn them to advantage. There is much sense in the arguments of the Herald, and we era free to admit thai we agree in seme par. -' ticulars, and have no objection to tVe experiment being made. If the Stute is to be wrested from the hands of its present unworthy guardians, a mrjj xnd complete system of plans must shortly be inaugurated. Th* policy of "stand aloof," ^let them work out their owt, destruption/^njay, and in our judgment will, lead to our own. The advances made in Edgefield recently, where rep resentative men of both parties met,** conversed, and parted on better terms, augurs something. It is estimated that over one million of skilled workmen are entirely out of employment in the United States, with constantly decreasing demand for Inner ei s. Here then is an clement in our midst, fraught ultimately with vital dan ger, not only to our social, but also tu our political institutions. Men must have bread, and when pushed to extrem ities, will have it. We luve now reach ed that puiut in carrying out the pro tective tariff policy when it ceases to foster any other interests than those of the manufacturing capitalists. Large profits obviate the necessity for increas ed labor ; in the constantly closing mills and furnaces we find conti mat ion of this fact. Four years of the present policy, steadily pursued, will create a i pauper population in this country of i fearful proportion, and such is invariably [ an element of danger. One of the newspapers tells a story of * a :\ortli Uaroiiuiuu who, HKC tne most of his countryman, was not willing that any thing pertaining to his property, his coun try or his estate shonld lose iu the estima tion of strangers for the Want of an impoi tant name. He was hailed by a Virgiuiaii from the shore of the Roauokc while he was floating with the current in a small flat boat : "What have you got in your scow, and where are you going ?" Ho jumped up, and, assuming ft proud bear iug, answered, "Stranger, this vessel is the Rebecca; and I'm her captain. Our cargo is fruit and furniture, and wo are bound for ply mouth and a market." "What kind of fruit?" "Persimmons." "What sort of fuaniture ?" "Hoop poles." The North Carolinian does not stand alone in his vanity. A Liverpool matcn vender calls himself ustistly a "timber merchant on a small scale," aud almost every dramshop keeper in New Yoik pretends to bo an importer of liquor* A nice young Woman called upon ? clergyman one day; and told him that her husband was unkind to her, that he passed nearly nil of his leisure hours away from home, and that, in short, his conduct was rendering her miserable "I thought, sir," Baid she, "as yiu are a good and wise titan, perhaps you would advise me what to do, that I might re claim my husband." "Your complaint is not nu uncommon one, my good woman," said the pastor, "and I think it is within the reach of a simple remedy." "Oh, tell it to me, and I will blot, you," said the poor woman. The paster took her hand kindly, nnd looking into her face, said, impressively : "Always meet your husband with a smile." - ?mmmt JU Jfk -?? - -??( An English clergyman wont to a hotel 10 order dinner for a number of ehrie.d friends.
