hoW TO HIAVEs A LoVING WiFE .
-If yotl would have a loving wife,
be .s gqntle 4' your words after as
befQre marraige; treet her as ten
dery when a natron as when a
miss; doi't quite make her the
mid of all work and ask her why
she looks less tidy and neat than
when 'you irst knew her;' don't
buy cheap, tough beef, and scold
her because it does not come on
the table 'porterhouse;' don't grum
ble about squnling babies if you
caniot keep up a 'nnrsery,' and re
member thAt haby may 'take after
papa' in his disposition; don't
smoke and chew tobacco, and thus
shatter your nerves, and spoil your
temper, and make your breath a
nuisance; and then complain that
your wife declines to kiss you; go
home joyous and cheerful to your
wite, and tell her the good news
you have heard, and not silently
p)ut oi your ihat aid go out to the
.club' or 'lodge,' and let her after
ward learn that you spent the eve
ning at the opera or at a fancy
ball with Mrs.. Dash. Love your
wife; be patient; remember you are
not perfect, bumt try to be; let whis
key, tobacco aiid vulgar company
alone; spenid your evenings with
your wife,andlive a decent, Chris
tian life, and you r wife will be lov
ing and true-if you did not mar
ry a heartless beanty, without
sense or worth; if you did, who is
to blame if you suffer the conse
<iuences?
TH; NEx-r LETTER WAS SI(INGED
Jessi.-There is a. young man in
Oaklaud, Cal.. who has a young
sister by the name of Jessie, who
was sent to a fashionable school
for young ladies. le said when
she left home he wondered if she
woul(l a -quire the airs and affecta
tions that certainyoung ladies lie
knew had by attending the fish
ionable seminary. After being
there a year he began to flatter
himself that his sister was proof
against such nonsense, when he re
ceived a letter sigied "Jessica." in
stead of Jessie, as heretofore. In
answering he wrote something like
this: "D)ear Sister Jessica-Yourm
welcome letter received. M am -
maica anid papaica are wvell. Aunt
Maryica and Uncle Georgica start -
~ed for the Santa Cr'uz mountains
yesterday.. Have bought a new
horse; it is a beauty; it is named
Maudica, etc. Your affectionate
brother', Samica."~ The next let
ter' was signed Jessie.
- A grand maaga2n! of' the Tam
many districh leapers was hmeld in
the wigwam on Friday night,mor'e
than 600 of' the 1300 me on the
roll being present. The spirlt of
the meeting seemed to b~e against
Cbeveland and wit'h Grady who
made a long and passionate speech
denouncing Clevelond and announ
cing his allegiance to the Beast
Butler. lie was vigorously cheer
ed, but resolaitiiona endorsing the
nominees were adopted 810 to 87.
It is rtmoroh that Tammany may
seek to save .its credit and defeat
Cleveland at the same time by nom
inating an electrocal ticket of its
own and throwing its vote away
on 'it.
BREAKING IT TO HER GENTLY
A young wife's husband had fled
with another woinan, and the par
ents of the deserted one sought to
break the news to her gently 'Are
you prepare.I to hear some very
bad news?' asked the mother, with
tears in her eyes.
'Has George failed?c Tell me !
Is the bank broken? Am I a beg
gar? Tell me! Don't keep me in
suspense?' shrieked the wife, wrin
ging her hands.
'My poor chile,' said the father,
'you little dream what a blow is in
store for you. Calm yourself,
priay.'
'I know he has beep down to the
Board of Trade squandering his
money and mine. I feel it in my
bones. Something tells me that
he has pa:wned his house and all
my bonds. Oh, what has lie not
done?'
'Your fortune is intact, my child,'
continued the mother, embricino
her, but your h')me is most cruelly
deserted. George iis run off with
that Wabash avenue woman that
you caught him with at the opera
last winter.'
'Goodness gracious, is that a!l!'
gaspw:l the wife, as she shank into a
chair and fanned herselffeirocious
ly ; 'whiat (id you want to scare II
to death for?'-Chicago Post.
A CIAmouIs STORY.---One of our
and best-known knights of the ra
zor tells a ci 1ious story for wlich
he vouches himself and brings wit
IICSSCS whose Words, as well as his
own, cannot be iml)eached. Sev
erel days ago a man calle I in for a
shave, and taking his seat in a
chair. had his wantsdlv attended
to. The opperator notice 1 a feath
er sticking out in his beard, wiich
was rather well -grownil, an(l s1p))0s
ing it had merely lodge I there star
ted to pull it out. The man quick
ly, stopped hun saying,
'Don't, that huit rts mIe.'
Ie then told our informant that
ever sinice his beard began to g-row
that feather had a place on his
cheek, and that pulling it ouit (lid
not check the growth, but rathier
icreased it. Hie had finailly con
eludedl to except it as inevitble,
andl accordingly niever allow it to
be p)ulled out now. The feather
was ver'y perfect, and~ about like
that ordinarily luckedl from a
chicken's tail.
MONEY Turr'I 7NononY OwS
TIhere are', it seems, $20,000,000 in
securities and moniey in t he treas
ury of the United States that no
one claims. In times gone b~y sun -
dry persons haive bou11ght govern -
menit secuirities which they have
lost or which have been dlestroyedl:
hence the twenty millions of un
elaimed bonds in the treasury.
TJhere are savings banks in New
York which have in their vautlts
large sums that will never beC claim
ed. They belong to .poor peCope
who died, or have mroved away, or
have forgotten they had ever any
money in the bnnk. There is sup
p)osed to be some) $80,000,000 of'
unclaimed money..In banks and
tyrust companies thuroughott the
country which is lost to theC heirs
forever. --
