MK. AM) MRS. BOWSER.
BY MRS. BOWSER.
Sonio time since I referred to the fact 1
that I had carefully preserved, arranged
and filed all of Mr. Bowser's love letters,
and I advised every bride to do the same
thing. I now desire to reiterate that advice.
I really don't know how I could
get along with Mr. Bowser if I did not
have this leverage on him. Like all other 1
husbands, he has sudden fits and his hours
of forgetfulness. He wanted a pair of
pincers to use for something, and because
they were not right at hand he made a i
gesture of despair and exclaimed:
"Oh, of course I must get used to it, I i
auDDose. Such a housekeeper as you are, '
Mrs. Bowser!" " ~ <
"Here you are. You left them on the
lounge yourself lost night."
"Lay it to me of course ! What's that
young 'un bellowing about now?"
"He fell down." 1
"Doesn't he know enough to stand up?
Did the wood come up?"
"No."
"It didn't? I ordered it the first thing
this morning! This is the worst-run
house in Detroit?"
"DoI run the wood yards?"
"But why didn't you tell me it hadn't
come up? It's a wonder the girl hasn't
quit to climax our troubles."
"She went an hour ago!"
Mr. Bowser sat down and looked at me
a long time. Then he sighed deeply and
said:
"Well, I suppose I must stand it, but
it's hard?very hard. This is what comes
of marrying a girl who has been brought
up on caramels and novels."
I went up stairs and brought down the
package of letters. Selecting one marked:
"Exhit A?filed. September 10, 1884," I
began to read:
"My Angel One?I send you another
box of caramels and five of the latest novels,
and I hope you will thoroughly enjoy
them. You were lamenting the fact that
you knew so little housework. I am glad
of it. Angels are not expected to fry pork
and wash dishes. You shall have a dozen
housekeepers when we are married, and
you shall never know a household care."
"That's a base forgery!" shouted Mr.
Bowser, as I finished reading.
"Oh, no. it isn't. I expected the day
would come when you would say so, and
so I prepared for it. See here; my mother
attests it as a witness."
"Well, if I wrote it I must have been
asleep."
"And only the other day, Mr. Bowser,
when I got a new dress home, you said I
hadn't any more taste than a clam, and
that my ideas of harmony would stop a
clock."
"Yes, and I meant it. You were always
that way."
"Was I?"
I selected a letter marked "Exhibit A?
2?filed Sept. 18, 1884," and read:
"My Beautiful?The picture of my
dear one as she appeared to me last night
has been with me all clay. You nave ine
taste of a queen in your toilet, and harmony
is second nature with you. Oh!
my little angel, you?"
"I wrote that, did I ?" sternly demand_
ed Mr. Bowser.
J "Of course."
"Never! The man who says I was ever
fool enough to write such stuff must die !"
"It is duly attested, Mr. Bowser, and
you can't deny your writing. I haven't
changed a bit in my tastes since our marriage.
Indeed, I think I have improved."
"Theie goes that young 'un again! He
isn't happy unless he is bellering like a
calf mired in a ditch."
"But see here, Mr. Bowser."
And I selected a telegram marked, "Exhibit
B?1?original," and attested by
father, mother and nurse, and read:
"Chicago, Nov. 20, 1887.?My Darling:
Thank God for the news of the birth of
our son! My heart swells with love and
gratitude. It is our bond of love. Heaven
has surely blessed us. Again, thank
God. Will be home Sunday night.
Bowser."
"I never sent it!" shouted Bowser.
"Yes you did! Here is the proof to convict
you. There isn't a mention about
'calf' in this, and as for 'bellering,' you
never dreamed of it."
"Oh, well, have it your own way.
You'd have the last word if I was dying.
Some wives are built that way. If I was
like some husband's I would assert my
authority."
" But you are not, Mr. Bowser, as this
will prove."
And I selected a letter marked exhibit
C?1?original," and attested and read :
"My Dearest Love?In reference to our
conversation last night, I wish to say that
I have always held and always shall hold
that husband and wife shall be equal in
authority. Neither has the right to dictate
to the other, though if either had that
right I should give it all to you. We
shall never have a woid of dispute?not
one. If there is any 'bossing' you may
doit."
"And you dare charge me with writing
such stuff as that!" gasped Mr. Bowser.
"I do; here is the proof, and you can't
wiggle out of it."
"I wrote 'dearest love,' did I ?"
' ' ^T'4 '? <-12*1 T?/l AA/1 Af * DAIKOAM 1TAI1

were far gone about those days."
"I was, eh ! Well, you can't make me
believe that I ever wrote such infernal
bosh as that! You'll next charge me
with writing up in verse."
"You even did that, sir. Just wait."
I selected a letter marked "Exhibit C?
1?very choice," and read:
Tho twilight coineth softly down,
As sinks the sun away/
And little children go to bed
All weary with their play.
Whore is my love this glorious eve?
Where doth her proud foot rest?
And where that head of golden hair
That I shall ever bless?
"And you say I wrote that!" whispered
Mr. Bowser.
"You did. It's a beautiful thing, too.
I can see those little children going right
to bed. You spoke of my 'hoofs' the other
day, and you had a slur about my red
head! Only four years ago it was my
'proud foot' and my 'golden head.'"
He was silent.
"Bo you want any more, Mr. Bowser?"
I asked.
"Mrs. Bowser, I don't say you are not
as good as the average wife, but I do say
that you have a mighty mean streak in
your composition. It may be possible
that while I lay burning with fever, or
while suffering a nervous attack, I may
have written a portion of those letters.
Tho rest are base forgeries, of course, and
you are holding them over meas a menace.
Is that wifely."
"Why, Mr. Bowser, do you deny your
own handwriting?"
"I havn't seen the writing and don't
want to. Don't threaten me, Mrs. Bowser;
I can be coaxed, but not driven.
' Cases have been known where husbands
walked out and never returned."
But that was only his way of wriggling
out of it. The next day he sent me
up a new dress, took baby for a long walk
and at present is the most docile husband
in Detroit.?[Detroit Free Press.
fiSaT "My, but these art works do run into

for a little painting like that." "That's
the way you talk," spoke up a bashful
drummer, "but you've paid four times as
much money for a painting not a tenth
part as big." "What! me ?" "Yes, you."
"What kind of a painting?" "The one

"There is fifty pounds too much." "Odds,!

"Dennis," said a gentleman to his}
janitor, "you are late this morning. What

ALL ABOUT FLIES.
Mr. Chas. Richard Dodge, agricultural
editor of the New York Press, publishes
au interesting chapter on house Hies in a
recent issue. In response to the frequent
questions, where do the flies go at the approach
of winter, and where do they come
from in the spring, hesays: Many of them
die, but a few crawl into convenient crevices
in fence posts and similar situations,
and there lie dormant until warmer weather
calls them into activity again. Some
hibernate in houses, especially those that
are kept warm throughout the winter by |
furnaces or other continuous fires. As flies
are necessarily contingent upon dirt and
filth, and breed rapidly when theirseason
comes, it is well to see the premises are
kept clean. If they do not breed in certain
kinds of dirt, the mature flies are attracted
by it, and some of your neighbors
will supply you with all that will be required
to make your life miserable.
The eggs are said to be laid in horse manure,
and to hatch in 24 hours, while the
maggots are full grown and ready for their
metamorphosis in less than a week. It
will be seen, therefore, that the fly loses
no time, but puts in its full hours every
day, and never complains of long days or
strikes for higher wages. The pupa is of a
reddish brown color, and in form and size
i t ? 1 ? ??.? ihLao 4- A nr\f

week puis the working arrangements of
the coming fly in perfect order, and it
breaks open its pupa case, and, blinking
the four thousand facets of its compound
eyes, looks for the first time upon the
world, and then gets into mischief
instuuter. To illustrate how rapidly
the common house fly will increase, it is
stated on the authority of Leeuwenhock,
that if unchecked the progeny of one pair
of flies in three months would be 700,000.
The reason why we are not literally eaten
up alive by flies is that vast numbers of the
larva1 are eaten by birds and poultry and
destroyed by natural enemies. Even the
mature fly is attacked by a fungus disease
which carries off large numbers. As they
breed chiefly in manure piles, much can
be done by keeping the stables and barns
in a tidy condition. The manure piles
should be frequently turned over, that
poultry and birds may have access to the
growing maggots, and should not be allowed
to get too large. By composting frequently,
mauyofthe lame would doubtless
be smothered and fail to mature. But
above all, keep clean premises. A very
good way to call flies about a house is to
keep the ground about the kitchen or back
door in an untidy condition. Some slack
housewives shake the table cloth out of
doors, as the quickest way to get rid of
crumbs. It is far better and neater to
burn them after each meal. Then the garbage
receptable should always be of metal,
and tightly covered. Such metal barrels
or cans, made of galvanized iron, with
covers, can be obtained in any large city.
Even slop water will call flies. That
much can be done by cleanliness alone in
abating the fly nuisance in summer we
know from observation and experience.
Even where the house is provided with
gauze wire screens, if the flics are very
abundant there will be numberless opportunities
for them to enter almost every
hour in the day.
Get Ready for Turnips.?One of the
principal causes of the failure ot the
turnip crop is the neglect to prepare the
soil in time to have it in the very best
condition when the time comes to sow the
seed. If the turnip patch be broken and
manured now, and several times over
again this mouth, it will be found thatsuceess
will be more certain. Land so prepared
in advance of the seed-time will be
moist enough to start the crop when otherwise
it may be too dry to germinate the
seed. The wise farmer will not wait until
the time comes to sow, but will begin the
real cultivation of the crop a month or more
beforehand. In the Piedmont section of
the State the ruta baga should be sown
about the middle of July, which is not far
off. The greatest obstacle in the way of
turnip culture is the prevalence of dry
hot weather at the time seed should be
sown. The best way to avoid the obstacle
is to prepare the land by thorough pulverization.
To complete the preparation
** Al V*n??A n >?A1 Inr

handy and to roll the land well so as to
press the earth upon the seed as compactly
as possibly after the necessarily shallow
covering. The turnip is one of much value
to every farmer if properly utilized.
Boiled and mixed with other foods, turnips
are very wholesome for hogs and valuable

Fou Chicken Cholera.?Common
baking soda is unquestionably a good preventative,
and even a cure for chicken
cholera. Two years' experience in the use
of it proves its value to our satisfaction.
It should be used at this season of the
year aud earlier as a preventive, a full
teaspoonful to a pint of corn meal dough.
As a cure, after fowls are already affected,
give stronger doses?a half teaspoonful to
a pint of corn meal dough. As acure, after
fowls are already affected, give stronger
doses?a half teaspoonful to as much dough
as a hen would eat. Force it down them
if they decline to eat. In this way,
we ("Betsy and I") have saved hens that
were too weak to stand, while the death
rate in the yard was fearful.
The disease is now well known ns resulting
from the growth of microbes, in the
intestines of fowls. Any strong caustic
or metalic substance, as soda, lime, bluestone,
copperas, may be regarded as a destroyer
of microbes, some substances being
more poisonous than others. Soda has, in
our experience, give the best results. It
is safe to use it literally as a sanitary
agent, even where cholera has not made a
start. We would suggest a trial of it for
hog cholera also.?[Cotton Plant.
Field Peas.?Many farmers have been
caught in the lurch this year in failing
last season to produce and save a supply
of seed peas. The great demand for them
in early spring first awoke many to the
fact that the supply was short, and the
price went up at once to $2.00 and $2.r>0
per bushel. Some farmers who had made
and housed a fair supply were unaware of
the scarcity of peas until they had fed
away many bushels which might now be
sold at a very high price. Many are now
without seed, and as a consequence it is
likely that there will be a good demand at
stiff' prices next year. It need only be
suggested, therefore, that a good crop of
peas raised this year may prove a profitable
one if carefully and closely gathered
and kept in good condition. Commerce
will call for its full share, even at a high
prices, and farmers in many sections of
the country will find a good demand for
peas by neighbors and merchants.?[Cotton

ISy There's some sort of telegraphic
communication between a horse's mouth
and his driver's hands, said an old horseman
the other day, and the best place to
prove it is in front of a puffing locomotive.
I've seen a horse that would rear and
prance a little when the engine approached,
but quiet down in a very few moments.
I've seen the same horse with another
driver get perfectly frantic?scared to
death, you might say?and kick everything
into kindling wood under exactly
similar circumstances. The same thing
happened too often to be a mere coincidence.
Why is it that two men of equal,
or nearly equal strength, have an entirely
different effect on a horse when holding
the lines? There is certainly something
in the touch of the one or the other. Confidence
is inspired in one case, fear in the
other. IIow is that feeling put into the
horse's head unless it is telegraphed from
the driver's hand??[New York World.

sidered one of the best remedies for dysentery.
Beaten up slightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends by
its emollient qualities, to lessen the inflamation
of the stomach and intestines, and
by forming a transient coating on those organs
to enable nature to resume her healthful
sway over the diseased body. Two, or,
at most, three eggs per day would be all
that is required in most cases; and since
the egg is not merely medicine, but food
as well, the lighter the diet otherwise, aud
the quieter the patient is kept, the more
certain and rapid is the recovery.
Bones for Grape-Vines.?To cause
crane-vines to crow most vigorously
throw a few hones into the hole when
planting out. Oyster-shells are also good
for the same purposn, and may be mixed
with the bones to advantage. Therefore,
don't waste any bones or shells, but utilize
them in the manner suggested if you plant
any vines. In case you have grape-vines
growing bury the bones near them, or reduce
the bones to ashes and apply the latter
to the vines or the vegetable garden.

There was a little hanging back on the
part of the usually prompt official, but in
a moment more a tall, fine-looking woman
strode defiantly up, and placing herself
before the judge, awaited the usual
questioning.
There was something so piteously desperate
in the prisoner's appearance, and
her great haunting eyes had a look of such i
an anguish in their fierce depths, that the ;

and sounds, yet hesitated a moment before
asking with unwonted gentleness:

even in the lower court, where touching
tones were often unheeded.
"Mediums testifies that he never laid a

to gang hame by some ither road. Then
I went mesel' to the man wi'out a soul in
his body, an' p'reps ye ken, yer honor, a
mither would beg an' pray for the bone o'
her bone an' the ilesh o' her flesh. But he
laughed in my face, an' I runned from his
sichtaforel did him ill. Las' nicht, yer
honor, the noise at me door frightened me;
1 runned wi' all me micht to see what were
the trouble, an' me Bobbie swayed into
the room an' fell at me feet?he were
dhrunk, yer honor! Then McGinnis
pokes his face in at me door an' asket,
'What think ye now, Mistress Byrne?'
Did 1 mean to strike the mon, yer honor?
An' could I, I'd a-struck the breath fra'
his body? Ye'd better keep me wi'lock
an' key the nicht till me gloom dies out;
but oh, jedge, jedge! there's naught to
kill the gnawin' at me heart, an' wisht
mesel' an me lad were in the kirk yard
aside the gude father."
The woman at the bar extended a clinched
hand as she added with bitter vehemence:
"They telled me, an' I could prove the
mon sold liquor to the baern under age,
the law could stoop him. It's a mesel'
would like to see the law stoop one o' the
misrable rum sellers o' the land ; I tell ye,

vengeance can stoop his ilk, an' when that
falls it'll crush ye all. It's a' weel enough
to 'rest the mother as she strikes the mon
as ruins her ain childt, but wait ye till the
Lord Almighty strikes?aye?wait ye for
that, an' ye dare."
As the threatening voice stilled, the woman
was pronounced discharged, and after
his re-appearance in court McGinnis was
lodged in the county jail on a charge of
having wilfully sold or given intoxicating
drink to a minor. Ilis comrades declared
the evidence on which he was convicted
to have been illegally slight and uncertain.
Jiut the clerk of the court was heard to
remark that he believed from his soul the
judge was afraid to disregard that old
witch's warning and dare not wait for the
Lord Almighty to strike back with gruesome
vengeance at them all. Then the
clerk added thoughtfully:
"But.she did have a knell of fiery doom,
did that number twenty-five."
IIKIiPINti T(f UAXti HIMSELF.
In a handsome mansion situated in a
lonely part of England there resided, a few
years ago, a maiden lady of considerable
wealth. One morning she was discovered
foully murdered. Her man servant,
named Lee, was suspected, arrested and
convicted on circumstantial evidence, and
sentenced to be hanged. So conclusive
seemed the evidence against the prisoner
that no attempt was made 011 the part of
the public to induce the homo secretary to
exercise execuuvo clemency. iiieuayui
the execution having arrived, the prisoner
was led forth to suffer the extreme penalty.
The rope to be used, the texture of
which was silk and hemp, had been, as
was customary in such cases, tested with
the aid of sand bags, and was not found
wanting. The bolt was drawn and the
prisoner was given a drop of eight feet.
The rope broke. The prisoner walked unaided,
up the steps leading to the scaffold,
and after the rope had been fixed and the
noose adjusted, the bolt was drawn for the
second time. The rope broke again.
Lee was by this time considerably
stunned. 1 lowever, after the lapse of a few
minutes, he again ascended the steps unaided,
and after doing all he could to allay
the nervousness of the hangman, assisted
the latter to fix the rope. The prisoner
placed himself on the trap door, the bolt
was pulled and the condemned man dropped
at onco out of view. The rope parted
for the third time. After considerable
delay Lee once more placed himself in the
hands of the executioner, but that personage
and the other officials, horrified at
what seemed a diviDe interposition, refused
to proceed further with the business.
The facts were reported to the home secretary,
who at once respited the prisoner,
and condemned him to imprisonment for
life.
Three years later a woman who was
Lee's fellow servant, confessed on her dying
bed, that it was she who killed her
mistress. She declared that Lee had no
connection whatever with the affair, and
stated facts stronelv confirmatory of her
confession.
Instances may have possibly occurred in
which an equal amount of physical courage
has been displayed, hut inside the pale
of fiction there cannot he cited a single
case in which bravery played a more conspicuous
part than in the incident above
detailed.

Tiik Nosk not a Safk CJuidk-Post.?
I have been making a study of noses lately,
says a writer in the Lewistown Journal,
and really it's astonishing to find how
large a proportion of the noses are twisted
to one side or the other. Try to find the
median line of a person's face by tracing it
from the tip of the nose, and see how you
come out! Many people who imagine
that their noses are perfectly straight
would find by a close inspection that those
appendages gee or haw a little?perhaps j
to their amusement, and maybe to their
chagrin. i
A Portland dentist tells a story to the
point. Says he: After I had fitted a set of
false teeth to a lady, she exclaimed, "Why
you haven't got tho middle of the set in
the middle of my face !"
I looked again, and told her I thought I
had. j
"Hut just look at my nose!" said she. :
"The middle of the set certainly is not in i
line with the middle of my nose."
"That may he," said I, "hut your nose?"
"Do you mean to tell me that my nose !
ain't straight?"
"I think you will find that such is the
caso."
"How much is your bill? I'll pay it, i
and you can keep your old teeth !"
She paid the bill, threw down the set, ]
and flounced out, as angry as an angry wo
man could be. She went homo, her friends
told her how foolish she was; she laid
awake all night, and the next day came
back, apologized, and had her work finished.
What Men Have Not Fouoiit For.
My dear boy, men have fought, bled and
died, but not for beer. Arnold Winklereid
did not throw himself upon the Austrian
spears because he was ordered to
close his saloon at nine o'clock. William >
Tell did not hide his arrow under his vest j '
to kill the tyrant because the edict had j
gone forth that the free-born Switzer '<
should not drink a keg of beer every Sun- j
day. Freedom did not shriek as Kosciusko '1
fell over a whisky barrel. Warren did
not die that beer might How as the brooks
murmur, seven days a week. Even the
battle of Brandy wine was not fought that 1
whisky might be free. Xo clause in the Declaration
of Independence declares that 1
uSunday concert garden, with five brass '
horns and one hundred kegs of beer, is the i
inalienable right of a free people and the
cornerstone of good government.

much-sneered-at temperance beverage,;
the feeble drink of effeminate men and
?ood old women?tea holds a higher place,
it fills a brighter, more glorious page, and
is a grander figure in the history of this
United States than beer. Men liked tea,
my boy, but they hurled it into the sea in
the name of liberty, and they died rather
than drink it until they made it free. It;
seems to be worth fighting for, and the
best men in the world fought for it. The
history of the United States is incomplete
with tea left out. As well might the historian
omit Faneuil Ilall and lhinker
Hill, as tea. Hut there is no story of heroism
or patriotism with rum for its hero.
The battles of this world, my son, have
been fought for grander things than free
whiskey. The heroes who fall in the
struggle for rum, fall shot in the neck,
and their martyrdom is clouded by the
haunting phantoms of the jim-jams. J
Whisky makes men fight, it is true, but i
they usually fight other drunken men.
The champion of beer does not stand in
the temple of fame; he stands in the police
court. Honor never has thedelirium
tremens; glory does not wear a red nose ;
and fame blows a horn but never takes
one.?[Hob Hurdette.
A Baffled (ihost.?There is a certain
well-known country house, in a certain
English county, which has the advantage,
or the disadvantage, as the case may be,
of being haunted. Lately the house was
rather full, and a visitor, a very eminent
London clergyman, was put in the famous
haunted room. His host did not tell him
of the fact that the room was haunted,
thinking, no doubt, that his religious character
would be a sufficient guaranty against
any disturbance of his slumbers through
visits from the spirit world. At the same
time he felta little anxious, and was greatly
relieved the next morning to find the
1 ??11 no
reverenu guuueiiiiui itu uiuaMuat wiiii iin
cheery an uir of successful slumber as possible.
The next morning, and the next,
he came down with the same light-hearted
aspect which only those who have enjoyed
peaceful dreams can wear. At last
the host thought he might safely mention
to his clerical visitor that he had been
sleeping in a haunted room, and congratulated
him on having seen nothing out of
the common. "Seen nothing !" replied the
visitor. "Oh, stop a bit, though, I did see
something." There was a grave silence
round the breakfast table ; all clatter was
hushed, and every eye was turned upon
the speaker. "Yes, yes; of course," the
clergyman resumed: "on the very first
night which I passed here I was wakened
in the middle of the night by what seemed
like a touch on my shoulder, and, on looking
up I saw the figure of a man in the
room." Here, to the intense horror of the
whole company, the clergyman gave a
very correct description of the particular
apparition which always honored this
room with his wanderings. "IIow could
you bear it?" "What did you do?" were
the questions which immediately succeeded
upon the awestruck silence. "Ho?"
replied the clergyman. "Why, I asked
him for a subscription to my next Sundayschool
picnic, and the spectre vanished
immediately." The host has not yet made
up his mind whether he likes visitors who
treat his favorite phantoms in this off-hand
manner.?[Whitehall Review.
Bkains in Business.?One great secret
"C Diinnooa 5,-i hncinnca tim soprpf in flirt
U1 OUV/V/V/OO ill UUOillVUU biiv t/vv> v? - -w.j
of succe99 on a large scale?is to conceive
of it as a matter of principle, not merely
as a series of transactions. There are great
merchants as there are great statesmen,
and there are small merchants as there
are small politicians, and the difference
between the great and the small men is
very much the same in both professions.
The small politician works by the day,
and sees only the one small opportunity
before him, the small merchant does the
same thing?he is looking for the next
dollar. The statesman, on the other hand,
is master of the situation because he understands
the general principles which
control events; this knowledge enables
him to deal with large questions and to
shape the future. The great merchant
does the same thing, his business is not a
mere money-getting affair, not a mere
matter of barter, but a science and an art,
he studies the general laws of trade,
watches the general conditions of the
country, investigates present needs, foresees
future wants, and adapts his business
to the broad conditions of his time and
place. He puts as much brains into his
work as does the statesman, and he ends
by being, not a money getter, but a large
minded and capable man. An eminently
successful business man, of the statesmanlike
quality, said the other day that
the more he understood of life, the more
clearly he saw that it was done on business
principles. By which he meant, not
only that the universe stands for the dollar,
that the universe is governed by unvarying
laws, that promptness, exactness,
thoroughness, and honesty are wrought
into its very fiber. On these business prints

at least by that Power which is behind
man. It outfit to bo the ambition of every
young man to treat his business from the
point of view of the statesman, and not
from that of the politician.?[Christian
Union.
Domestic Felicities.?1"How," said a
gentleman to a friend, who wished to convey
a matter of importance to a lady without
communicating directly with her,
"how can you be certain of her reading the
letter, seeing that you have directed it to
her husband?" "That 1 have managed
without the possibility of failure," was the
answer. "She will open it to a certainty,
fori have put the word 'private' in the
corner." This puts in a lively way the
well-known fact that it is impossible for
married people to keep secrets the one
from the other. Hut even to make the attempt
is to enter upon ground so very
dangerous that scarcely any amout of cautious
driving will prevent a catastrophe.
When Miss Welsh and C'arlyle were engaged
to bo married, the former induced
her mother to consent that Carlyle should
live with both of them and share the advantages
of an established house and income.
Hut Carlyle answered Miss Welsh's
proposal by insistiugthat "two households
could not live us if they were one, and he
would never have any right enjoyment of
his wife's company till she was all his
own," adding that "the moment ho was
master of a house, the lirst use he would
turn it to would be to slam the door against
nauseous intruders." Married people
should be left alone the first year. "Are
your domestic relations agreeable?" was
the question put to an unhappy-looking
specimen of humanity. "< )h ! my domestic
relations are all right," was the reply;
"it is my wife's relations that are causing
tho trouble."
After the honeymoon, husband and wife
too often renounce not merely those pretty
arts to please which belonged to the time
of wooing, but even common politeness toward
each other. And yet politeness, like
charity, should begin at home.

They Preferred the Higher Prick.
The story is told of a retail dealer who obtained
a rare bargain in ladies' hemstitched
linen handkerchiefs, which lie designed
to sell at a fair prollt at twenty-live
cents eacn. wn examination 01 tne goous
lie determined not to give such value for
so small a sum. Taking one-half this lot,
he marked each handkerchief in the corner
with a lead pencil, twenty-live cents,
and the other half of the lot, precisely the
same style and quality, he marked in the
same way thirty cents, and displayed the I
goods on the counter, side by side.
Imagine his surprise when he found
that his lady customers, on their own
judgment, and after a seeming careful ,
and critical comparison of the goods, in i
two purchasers out of three, selected the
bargains at thirty cents, leaving him with
the larger part of those marked twentylive
cents on his counter. As it was impossible
to alter the marks on the goods
I
from twenty-five to thirty without soiling
them, he was actually compelled to purchase
another invoice of the same lot to
oblige the dear creatures who preferred to
pay thirty cents for the article rather than
twenty-five cents.?[Cloak Review.

Personal illustrations are usually in
doubtful taste, and somctimcsare positively
dangerous. A farmer was complained
of for maintaininga nuisance hi the shape
of a piggery ; th^ neighbors asserted that
said piggery was detrimental to thoi?*
health. At the trial the rustic gentleman
argued his own case, and summed up as
follows: "The neighbor say, your honor,
that hogs is unhealthy; I say they ain't.
Look at me! Ain't I healthy?"

you like, what respect people ought to
