On his begging her to tell him what she found the price.to bp of such as him¬ self, she replied, 'after some hesita¬ tion, that she saw a similar article of busbands put up in bunches of a doz¬ en, and offered at a shilling a bunch. Such a h,usband |s indeed ä profitless possession. A shrewd woman in New York found herself tho wife of this kind of a piece of goods". lie was idle and shiftless, and of so Httlo financial experience that even in .those rare instances in which he suc¬ ceeded in. earning any money, he was unable to keep it long chough to bring ?it home.' Instead of support- bis wife, he was a burden on her, and an expense to her. To avoid the otherwise inevitable journey to the poor house, she was compelled to work, and to support tho whole impe¬ cunious family. Bujt there is a lining of silver to even the most leaden cloud, and this struggling wonaan happily discovered that her man. had one talent which she might turn to profitable account. He could carve at dinper parties, and this was tho only thing he could do. In doing this be was a crowning suc¬ cess. He had no more skill at mak¬ ing contracts than at bringing money borne. So the thrifty housewife con¬ cluded not to , turn him adrift to starve, as she feared would be neces¬ sary, but to keep him at homo, aiu} rent him out as opportunity offered. From time to time she sought out all tho people she could find being about to give entertainments, might need the services of a skilled manipulator of the carving-knife. Explaining to these popple .the peculiar condition of her domestic affairs, she whuld hire her husband out for a fixed sum stip¬ ulating that the money should be paid to herself, and not to him. An interesting and a novel style of law suit now arises from a mistake in the payment. The husband fyad earned seven dollars for'carvirig *rt the din¬ ner party of a nabob. The nabob thoughtlessly paid him the money, and he as thoughtlessly spent it be¬ fore ho reached home. Thereupon the wife undertook to collect from the nabob the stipulated sum, basing her claim on the fact that as the poor man was a sort of a nobody, payment to him was no payment at all. The nabob resisted the endeavor to coljcct a second seven dollar fee from him, alleging that he had paid the person who did the work, and that if that improvident individual had nothing to show for it, the misfortune should justly fall on the poor fellow himself. The wife successfully resisted this ar¬ gument by showing that she was the contracting part}', and that she had hired her husband out just as a liv¬ ery keqper would hire oitt a horse, in which latter case, it would he mani¬ festly improper and insulllcient to claim that payment consisted in handing the money to the animal. The woman retires triumphantly from court, happy in the possession of a bit of property from which, when rented out she can draw a substantial income. It is not lawful in this country to expose busbands for sale, but the fact is now established that one may be kept for biro. Tho lesson is one which will carry comfort to many an embarrassed girl who, having blun¬ dered into marriage, finds she has pn her hands a lazy and lounging per¬ son, who is of no particular use. If she can discover even one talent, and turn that to account, she may set the otherwise unprofitable fellow to work by renting him out to do the only thing he understands. Thus is hope }n store for many a soriowf.il woman, thus may affluence await the thrift of ihe wife who is shrewd enough to utilize a .shiftless and burdensome busband..Phi'adelphia Timeg, We regtet to learn that Mr. C. E. Sims, of Ssntuc, met with a serious accident lost Monday, at his gin boase. Ho fell down the steps, and was taken up in an unconscious state. Fears are entertained that his injuries mny prove fatal. Wc learn the above facts from tho Union Times. A Word iu Hüöbähus. Don't thüik when you have won a' wife that you have also won ae!;,y,a. Don't think that your wife haß less .feeling than your sweetheart. Her relation to you is changed, not hor nature. Don't think that you can dispense with all the little, civilities of life to¬ ward lior on marrying. She appre¬ ciates thocc things quite as much as Other women. Don't be gruff and rndo at homo. Had you been that sort of fellow be¬ fore marriage, tho probabilities are that you would be sewing on y.öur own buttons still. Pon't make your wife feel that eho is an iecurnbrance on you by giving her grudgingly. What she needs give as cheerfully as if it were a pleasure so to do. öho will feel better and so will you. Don't meddle in tho affairs of tho house under her charge. You have uo more right to be poking your nose into the kitchen than she has to walk into your place of business and give directions to your employees. Don't And fault with her extrava¬ gance in ribbon, etc., until you have shut down on segars, tobacco, etc. Don't leave your wife at home to nurse the children on the score of economy, while you bolt down town at night to sec the show or spend a dollar on billiards. Don't bolt your supper, and hurry off to spend evenings lounging away from your wife. Before marriage you couldn't spend evenings enough with her. Don't prowl in the loafing resorts till midnight, wasting your time in culpable idleness, leaving your wife lonely at homo to brood over your neglect and hor disappointment. Don't think that board and clothes are sulBoicnt for all your wife does for you. Don't caress your wife in public and snarl and growl at her in private. Don't wonder that your wife is not as cheerful as she used to be, when she labors from early morn till late at night to pander to the comfort and caprice of a selfish man who has not soul enough to appreciate her. The Exodus. The Boston Advertiser is not fa¬ mous as a particularly enterprising journal, but it is entitled to the credit of having found out more about the causes that lie at the bottom of the negro exodus than anybody else. The staid old Boston journal has dis¬ covered in its city a "National Farm¬ ers' Association," winch was organ¬ ized a few mouths ago for the purpose of encouraging the Southern negroes to emigrate to tho Northern and "Western States and settle upon gov¬ ernment lands. The way had been prepared for this and similar associa¬ tions (for the National Farmers' is only one of several) by tho circula¬ tion of political documents among the negroes the past two yeare, the inost pungent of which emanated from Bos ton and stirred the colored folks up to discontent with their situation and a passion for change. The Farmers' Association aimed particularly at getting the emigrants into Northern Texas, but the current has started the oilier way, and Kansas is now the promised land of the poor deluded people. It is all supposed to be a philanthropic movement, on the part of Boston folks, of course, though it is a little difUcult at present to sec exactly where the philanthropy comes in..Philadelphia Times. After Many Years. A Massachusetts paper contains the following statement of a very sin¬ gular coincidence : "The father and mother of Mr. Stanton, the superin¬ tendent of the Sclma, Roino and Dal- ton Railroad, killed in the late bridge accident, Uic one from Ohio and the other from Philadelphia, hastened to him by the quickest route and with the least possible delay. One arrived before he breathed his last and the olljer after, but in time to see him laid away in his last resting place. The parents met thus for tho first time in thirty years. Long years ago they separated and were divorc¬ ed, and young St:inlon took his mother's maiden surname. Both his parents wcro remarrisd, and to make the strange occurrence still more fiin- gular, they were both accompanied on the sad pilgrimage by their re¬ spective mates. And thus happened probably tho strangest meeting that ever occurred at a deathbed scene." Money. Money is a queer institution, it buys provender, satisfies justice, and heals wounded honor. Everything revolves itself into .cash, from stock jobbing to building churches. Child¬ hood craves pennies, youth aspires to dimes, manhood is swayed by the, mighty dollar. Tho blacksmith swings his sledge, the lawyer pleads for his client, and the judge decides the question of life and death for his salary. .Money makes thö man, therefore rn.au must make mouoy, if ho would be respected by fools ; for the eye of the world looks through golden spectacles. It buys Brussels carpets, laco curtains, gilded cornices aud rich furniture, and builds marble mansions. It drives up to church in grand rig, and pays the rent of the liest pew. It buy3 silks and jewelry for- my lady. It commands the res¬ pect of gaping crowds and secures obsequious attention. It enables us to be charitable, to send Bibles to the heathen, and relieve domestic in¬ digence. It gilds the rugged scenes of life, and spreads over the rugged path ol existence a velvet carpet soft to our tread ; the rude scenes of tur¬ moil arc incased in a gilt frame. It bids care vanish, soothes the anguish of the bed of sickness, stops short of nothing save the grim destroyer, whose relentless hand spares none, but levels all mortal distinctions and teaches poor, weak humanity that it is but dust. Thus wealth pauses on the brink of eternity, the beggar and the millionaire rest side by side be¬ neath the sod, to rise in equality to answer the final summons. Not Altogether Satisfied. A clergyman was called upon on one occasion to officiate at a colored wedding. "We assure you, sab," said the gentlemanly darkey, f'dat dis ycrc wedding, sab, is to bo berry much in the fashion, sah." "Very well," replied the clergyman, "I will try to do everything in my power to gratify the wishes of the parlies." So after the dinner and dancing and supper were over the groom's "best man" called again on the minister, and left him a leu-dollar fee. **I hope everything was as your friend desired it?" said the urbane clergyman. "Well, sab, to tell dc truf, Mr. John- sou was a little disappointed," an¬ swered the groom's man. "Why, 1 look my robes!" said the minister. "Yes, sab.it wasn't dat." "I ad¬ hered to the rubrics of the church." "Yes, sah ; dat was all right." "I was punctual, and shook hands with the coup!e. What, more could I do?" "Well, sah, Mr. Johnson he kind o' felt hurt, you see, 'cause you didn't salute dc bride." What Those Long Nights Mean. Ah, yes, fond youth ! It may be very nice to court a girl in the far northern countries where the nights arc six months long ; but just think of the vast amount of peanuts aud gumdrops the young man, when go¬ ing to sec his girl, mujt lug along with him fn order to kill time aud in¬ duce her to believe that his afleclion for her is as warm as over. Anil then the sad leave-taking a few weeks before sunrise ! lie whispers, "Good¬ night, love," and she softly murmurs, "Good-night, dear. When shall 11 sec you again?" "To-morrow night," ho replies, as he kisses her upturned face. "To-morrow night," sho re¬ plies with a voice full of emotion. "Six long weary months ! Can't you call around a few days before break¬ fast, Charles?" Finally .Charles tears himself away, with a promise to write her one hundred aiid sixty letters be¬ fore the next day draws to a close.! .Norristown Herald. Tho editor of the Weslcyan Chris¬ tian Anvocate, present at the celebra¬ tion of Dr. Picrce's birthday at the house of his son, Bishop Pierce, Spar¬ ta, Ga., says the venerable man was that day, March 24, IM years old ; that in one room were seen at one timo five gecerations.father, son, grandson, great-grandson and great- grcat-grnudson. Arthur Gilman tells the following of an old lady at Concord : "Have you given electricity a trinl for your complaint, madam?" asked the minis¬ ter, ns he look tea with the old lady. "Electricity 1" said she. "Well, > es, I reckon I has. I was struck by lightning last summer and hove out the window, but it didn't seem to do me no sort of good." A LAjiV'S WONDERFUL NERVE. .o. OEQUINOY'S 8TOUY OF "THE AVENGEIJ" SUHl'ASSED. * Mrs, l8ndoro Middlclon, n very beautiful woman, and on.e of tho ac¬ knowledged leaders of fashion of Mo¬ bile, can certainly boast'of 'lue pos¬ session of as much nerve nod true moral courago as aro often vouchsafed to any of her sex. """^ On tho evening of September 19th she was in her boudoir, putting away some articles of1 jewelry, when sho noticed that tho peculiar position of a library lamp, that was burning upon a chair in the back part of the room, had thrown upon the lloor, al¬ most under her feet, tho shadow ot a man who was crouching under, a broad-topped ornamental table in the center of the room. She also remark¬ ed that the open hand of tho shadow had but two lingers, and remembered that several despprate burglaries had recently been committed in tho neigh¬ borhood, suppositiously by a negro desperado, who was notorious as hav¬ ing lost two lingers on his right hand. Mr. Middlcton was absent from the city, and, besides herself in the house, there was but a single maid-servant. Instead of fainting with fear, or shrieking for help, the bravo lady seated herself at the very table under¬ neath which the miscreant was con¬ cealed, and rang for the servant. "Hand me writing materials, Brid¬ get," said she with perfect calmness, "I want you to take a note this in¬ stant to Mr. For fair, the jeweler, and have him send back my diamond necklace and car-drops, which I left there for repairs several days ago. Bring them .with you, no matter, il fully repaired or not. Thcy*aro by twenty fold the most valuable articles of jewelry that I possess, and I do not wish to pass another night with; out haying them in my bureau draw¬ er.'?' The note was at once written and dispatched ; instead of being in. the tenor she had signified (op p^ppso for the concealed robber to overhear, for she had no jewelry under repair), it was a hasty note to the jeweler, an intimate friend, in which she suc¬ cinctly stated her terrible position, and urged him to hasten to her relief, with requisite police assistance, im- mcdintcly on receipt of the missive. The agonies which that refined and delicate woman underwent when left alone in the house, with the conscious¬ ness of the picscncc of that desperate robber, perhaps assassin as well, crouched under the very table, upon which she leaned and perhaps touched by her very skirts, can only be left to the reader's imagination ; but her iron nerve sustained her through the ordeal. She yawned, hummed an operatic air, turned over the leaves of a novel, and in other ways lulled the linker into a sense of perfect se¬ curity and expectancy, and waited with a wildly beating heart, and her eyes fastened upon the hands of her little ormolu cluck with a greedy, fe¬ verish gaze. At last, however, came the prayer for relief. There was a ring at the door-bell, and she strolled carelessly into the hall and down stairs to open it. The ruse had been a success. She not only admitted Bridget, but also Mr. Forfait' and three stalwart policemen. The latter passed stealth¬ ily lip-stairs and into the boudoir, where they suddenly pounced upon the concealed burglar so unexpected¬ ly as to secure him without a strug¬ gle. The prisoner proved to be a negro criminal named Claptnnn, but mostly known as "Two Fingered Jcflf," who was in great recjuest about Hint tinio for several robberies committed in the neighborhood a short time before, and he is now serving a twenty years' sentence in the Alabama State Pris¬ on..Hartford Times. When the Federal troops entered South Carolina at the close of the war, they look possession of a memo¬ rial shaft which the State proposed! o) erect to the memory of General] Stonewall Jackson, and is now in possession of the War Department. In response to a letter from Repre¬ sentative Kvins, of thnt State, the Secretary of War writes that ho will make no objection to its return to Gov. Simpson. Its early restoration may be, therefore, looked for, and South Carolina will cherish it through all time in remembrance of Virginia's great military son..Jiichmony J)is- patch. What Next ? The Chicago Tribune publishes a letter a column long from a howling idiot moved to howl because of his fear that the Democrats may assassi¬ nate Mr. Hayes aud the Vice-Presi¬ dent.Wheeler, 'we think his name js.so as to obtain power. There is no fear of this. The Democrats can afford to wait for twenty-three months, especially as they hold pos¬ session of both branches of Congress. ..... - ' f a But there is grave reason to fear that if next year the Radical loaders find the Northern heart hard to fire they may consider it necessary to offer up the President and Vice-President upon the altar of their party and ar¬ raign the Democratic nominees as the instigators of the assasdins. In this manner they would get rid of two men not at all popular with the party and obtain a new pretext for demand¬ ing a strong government and recon¬ struction of the South. Such evi¬ dence as nilgkt be required to author¬ ize a Republican jury to convict could easily bo supplied by the now unem¬ ployed survivors of the whiskey ring. Let Mr. Hayes suffer no stalwart Senator to approach Iura until be is convinced that the visitor bear? neith¬ er the dagger of Ehud nor the pistol of Rellingham. Let Mr. Wheeler soak his express parcels and drop his letters out of fourth-story windows ere opening Hum, lest haply they contain infernal machines. There is no reason why the stalwarts should shrink from killing Mr. Hayes; only a little while ago tl;cy were prepared to destroy the Union if it stood in their way..N. Y. World. "Oh! You Bad Boy!" We are all very like the little boy who said he ought not to be scolded so much for being naught}', because he was not half as bad as he could bo- Nothing will so help a boy who is "from fair to middling" in character to develop into an incorrigible pest as constant leasing and fretting, apd rthOr.veitcratipn in every tone known Iq bad temper of the teuijer phrase, "Oh 1 you bad boy!" Some boys' arc brought up on that- kind of food, and you might as well expect a horse to be docile who enjoys the presence of a burr under the saddle as to expect a boy who has a pin stuck into him by ill-tempered criti¬ cism every time he comes into the bouse to prefer to slay at home rather than steal out of the back door and go fishing. Some parents scold and fret the wings off their children's' backs without knowing it. There is nothing in the world which belter en¬ ables a boy to see the fun of skating on thin ice, with the chance of get¬ ting a drenching, than the feeling that be will get a drubbing at home wheth¬ er or no..N> w York Harald. Chicago's New Mayor. (-artcr Harrison, the May or-elect of Chicago, is a native of Newport, Ivy., and a grandson of President V/illiam Henry Harrison. At the be¬ ginning of the war lie wrote a letter to a schoolmate, Ihpy having attended the Oxford University, Ohio, togeth¬ er, who had enlisted fron} this conn- try in the Twentieth Tennessee Regi¬ ment C. S. A. This letter was full of-sympathy and patriotic sentiments, and expressed a determination to en¬ list in the cause of the South as soon as his father cotdd be reconciled to it. At that time Harrison was very young. This letter was given the writer and placed in his trunk for safe-keeping. At the battle of Fish« ing Creek the trunk was captured, the letter read and the next thing was the arrest of Harrison. Rut he man- [aged to get free, and soon made his 'appearance i;; the Southern army. He is now Mayor of the stronghold of Republicanism, but is elected as a true and tried Soutaern Democrat. Three white men and three black men, meeting on the same side of a river, and wishing to cross to the. op¬ posite shore, were obliged to do so in a skill that would not carry but two. Each while man had a largo amount of money upon his person, and the black men being aware of tho fact agreed among themselves that, while crossing the river, if two of their number should be bft on either shore with one white man they would rob him. Tho white men suspecting them managed it so that they were all car¬ ried over in Ilm skiir without leaving one of their number exposed. How was this done? The Old Slogan. One thing this debate has plainly disclosed to the country. It is, that the next campaigu will be fought ex¬ clusively on war and sectional issues. Their gonfalon is to bo the bloody shirt, and their slogan a re-echo of all the damnable filth and falsehood of tho dark days of ULio pasjt. Gar- field, Fryc, and all the smai^ei'knaves and incendiaries who have yelped the chorus to their bitter, bloody mouth-: ings have given incontestable proof of this design. It is to be the solid North against the solid South, a square issue of hate, falsehood, evil passion and bitterest denunciation against right, icason, argument and patriotism. Frye's speech a few days ago re-echoed" Gurflcld's, and tho an¬ swering chorus all along tho line shows not a discordant note. For a man who could say, and with eyjdcnt sincciity,'what he did over the grave 01 Julian Ilurlridgc, and then speak such words of deep venom and bloody wrath towards Hai fridge's section add its sons, only proved too conclusive¬ ly what he and his have resolved upon. The answering echo of fierce applause which followed his most vio¬ lent wordp s ill further demonstrated the party resolve. 1 have never heard heartier approval of bitterest partisan utterances than Ffye won. lie ie a good speaker, practiced, and pointed, and holds his party's car next to Garfield, and the applause that greet¬ ed him reminded me of the Ulainc ovation in the stormy days of tho Forty-fourth Congress. The Wife. It needs no guilt to break a hus¬ band's heart'. The absence of con¬ tent, the muttcrings of spleen, the untidy dress and cheerless home, the forbidding scowl and deserted hearth .these, and other nameless neglects, without a crime among them, have harrowed to the quick the heart's core of many a man, and planted there, beyond f,he reach of cure, the gorrn of dark despair. Q, may wo¬ man, before that sight arrives, dwdil on the recollections of her youth, and cherishing tho dear idea of that tuue- ful lime, awaken and keep alive the promises she so kindly gave. And though she may be injured.not the injuring one.the forgolj^n, not the fornctling wife.a happy allusion to the hour of peaceful love.a kindly welcome to a comfortable home.a smile of love to banish hostile words .a kiss of peace to pardon nil the past.and the hardest heart that over locked itself within the breast of sel¬ fish man will soften to her charms and bid her live, as she had hoped, her years of matchless bliss, loved, loving and content.the source of COJtfort and the spring of joy. Stokes' Other Coat. Our good friend Stokes, of the Union Times, apologir.es for the Oinissiob of a certain communication by saying that "he found it, when too Lute, in the pocket of a coat which he had laid aside for a t me." This im¬ plies the possession of two coats, and a decree of prosperity unusual among editors in the interior. If stokes is indeed s:> fortunate as to own two coals he should not make boast of it, now that nearly all of the country quill-drivers are in the reverse condi¬ tion ; if but a boast, it is calculated to mislead the press into the belief that he is riding on the top wave of prosperity. The Press Association soon to convene should appoint a committee, with pawcr to call for pcrsous and papers, and the other coat, and get a true bill in regard to the matter..Ncwherry Herald, Old Zach. Strange as it may appear, old Zuch Chandler is now a leading candidate for President. Qn Hie last night of the last session he filled himself with mean whiskey and then reared up on his hind legs and vomited all over the South and Jeff Davis. For this he been taken right up into the stal¬ warts' bosoms. Grant is in some re¬ spects rather a heavy load for the Radicals to bear. lie has loo much past record. So Chandler is now hailed as the man with a backbone, and what is more to the point, as a man who can steal a Presidency for himself as deftly as ho did for Hayes. The Radicals arc pretty badly off for avatliable material when tho contest lies between Grant and Chandler, both rotten to tho core, and only dis¬ tinguished for vindictivnncss to tho South..News and Herald.

A shrewd woman inNew York found herself tho wife ofthis kind of a piece of goods". liewas idle and shiftless, and of so Httlofinancial experience that even in.those rare instances in which he suc¬
ceeded in. earning any money, hewas unable to keep it long chough tobring ?it home.' Instead of support-bis wife, he was a burden on her, andan expense to her. To avoid theotherwise inevitable journey to thepoor house, she was compelled towork, and to support tho whole impe¬cunious family.
Bujt there is a lining of silver toeven the most leaden cloud, and thisstruggling wonaan happily discoveredthat her man. had one talent whichshe might turn to profitable account.He could carve at dinper parties, andthis was tho only thing he could do.In doing this be was a crowning suc¬
cess. He had no more skill at mak¬ing contracts than at bringing moneyborne. So the thrifty housewife con¬
cluded not to , turn him adrift to
starve, as she feared would be neces¬
sary, but to keep him at homo, aiu}rent him out as opportunity offered.From time to time she sought out alltho people she could find being aboutto give entertainments, might needthe services of a skilled manipulatorof the carving-knife. Explaining tothese popple .the peculiar condition ofher domestic affairs, she whuld hireher husband out for a fixed sum stip¬ulating that the money should bepaid to herself, and not to him. Aninteresting and a novel style of lawsuit now arises from a mistake in thepayment. The husband fyad earnedseven dollars for'carvirig *rt the din¬ner party of a nabob. The nabobthoughtlessly paid him the money,and he as thoughtlessly spent it be¬fore ho reached home. Thereuponthe wife undertook to collect fromthe nabob the stipulated sum, basingher claim on the fact that as the poorman was a sort of a nobody, paymentto him was no payment at all. Thenabob resisted the endeavor to coljccta second seven dollar fee from him,alleging that he had paid the personwho did the work, and that if thatimprovident individual had nothingto show for it, the misfortune shouldjustly fall on the poor fellow himself.The wife successfully resisted this ar¬
gument by showing that she was thecontracting part}', and that she hadhired her husband out just as a liv¬ery keqper would hire oitt a horse, inwhich latter case, it would he mani¬festly improper and insulllcient toclaim that payment consisted inhanding the money to the animal.The woman retires triumphantly fromcourt, happy in the possession of a
bit of property from which, whenrented out she can draw a substantialincome.
It is not lawful in this country to
expose busbands for sale, but the factis now established that one may bekept for biro. Tho lesson is one
which will carry comfort to many an
embarrassed girl who, having blun¬dered into marriage, finds she haspn her hands a lazy and lounging per¬son, who is of no particular use. Ifshe can discover even one talent, andturn that to account, she may set theotherwise unprofitable fellow to workby renting him out to do the onlything he understands. Thus is hope}n store for many a soriowf.il woman,thus may affluence await the thrift ofihe wife who is shrewd enough toutilize a .shiftless and burdensomebusband..Phi'adelphia Timeg,We regtet to learn that Mr. C.

A Word iu Hüöbähus.Don't thüik when you have won a'
wife that you have also won ae!;,y,a.Don't think that your wife haß less
.feeling than your sweetheart. Herrelation to you is changed, not hornature.
Don't think that you can dispensewith all the little, civilities of life to¬ward lior on marrying. She appre¬ciates thocc things quite as much as
Other women.
Don't be gruff and rndo at homo.Had you been that sort of fellow be¬fore marriage, tho probabilities arethat you would be sewing on y.öurown buttons still.Pon't make your wife feel that eho is
an iecurnbrance on you by giving hergrudgingly. What she needs give as
cheerfully as if it were a pleasure soto do. öho will feel better and sowill you.
Don't meddle in tho affairs of thohouse under her charge. You haveuo more right to be poking your nose
into the kitchen than she has to walkinto your place of business and givedirections to your employees.
Don't And fault with her extrava¬gance in ribbon, etc., until you haveshut down on segars, tobacco, etc.
Don't leave your wife at home tonurse the children on the score ofeconomy, while you bolt down townat night to sec the show or spend a
dollar on billiards.Don't bolt your supper, and hurry
off to spend evenings lounging awayfrom your wife. Before marriage youcouldn't spend evenings enough withher.
Don't prowl in the loafing resortstill midnight, wasting your time inculpable idleness, leaving your wifelonely at homo to brood over yourneglect and hor disappointment.Don't think that board and clothes
are sulBoicnt for all your wife doesfor you.
Don't caress your wife in publicand snarl and growl at her in private.
Don't wonder that your wife is notas cheerful as she used to be, whenshe labors from early morn till lateat night to pander to the comfortand caprice of a selfish man who hasnot soul enough to appreciate her.
The Exodus.The Boston Advertiser is not fa¬
mous as a particularly enterprisingjournal, but it is entitled to the creditof having found out more about thecauses that lie at the bottom of thenegro exodus than anybody else.The staid old Boston journal has dis¬covered in its city a "National Farm¬ers' Association," winch was organ¬ized a few mouths ago for the purposeof encouraging the Southern negroesto emigrate to tho Northern and"Western States and settle upon gov¬ernment lands. The way had beenprepared for this and similar associa¬tions (for the National Farmers' isonly one of several) by tho circula¬tion of political documents among thenegroes the past two yeare, the inostpungent of which emanated from Boston and stirred the colored folks upto discontent with their situation anda passion for change. The Farmers'Association aimed particularly atgetting the emigrants into NorthernTexas, but the current has started theoilier way, and Kansas is now thepromised land of the poor deludedpeople. It is all supposed to be a
philanthropic movement, on the partof Boston folks, of course, though itis a little difUcult at present to sec
exactly where the philanthropy comesin..Philadelphia Times.
After Many Years.A Massachusetts paper contains
the following statement of a very sin¬gular coincidence : "The father andmother of Mr. Stanton, the superin¬tendent of the Sclma, Roino and Dal-ton Railroad, killed in the late bridgeaccident, Uic one from Ohio and theother from Philadelphia, hastened tohim by the quickest route and withthe least possible delay. One arrivedbefore he breathed his last and theolljer after, but in time to see himlaid away in his last resting place.The parents met thus for tho firsttime in thirty years. Long yearsago they separated and were divorc¬ed, and young St:inlon took hismother's maiden surname. Both hisparents wcro remarrisd, and to makethe strange occurrence still more fiin-gular, they were both accompaniedon the sad pilgrimage by their re¬
spective mates. And thus happenedprobably tho strangest meeting thatever occurred at a deathbed scene."
Money.Money is a queer institution, it
buys provender, satisfies justice, andheals wounded honor. Everythingrevolves itself into .cash, from stockjobbing to building churches. Child¬hood craves pennies, youth aspires todimes, manhood is swayed by the,mighty dollar. Tho blacksmithswings his sledge, the lawyer pleadsfor his client, and the judge decidesthe question of life and death for hissalary. .Money makes thö man,therefore rn.au must make mouoy, ifho would be respected by fools ; forthe eye of the world looks throughgolden spectacles. It buys Brusselscarpets, laco curtains, gilded cornicesaud rich furniture, and builds marblemansions. It drives up to church ingrand rig, and pays the rent of theliest pew. It buy3 silks and jewelryfor- my lady. It commands the res¬
pect of gaping crowds and secures
obsequious attention. It enables us
to be charitable, to send Bibles tothe heathen, and relieve domestic in¬digence. It gilds the rugged scenesof life, and spreads over the ruggedpath ol existence a velvet carpet softto our tread ; the rude scenes of tur¬moil arc incased in a gilt frame. Itbids care vanish, soothes the anguishof the bed of sickness, stops short ofnothing save the grim destroyer,whose relentless hand spares none,but levels all mortal distinctions andteaches poor, weak humanity that itis but dust. Thus wealth pauses onthe brink of eternity, the beggar andthe millionaire rest side by side be¬neath the sod, to rise in equality toanswer the final summons.
Not Altogether Satisfied.A clergyman was called upon on
one occasion to officiate at a coloredwedding. "We assure you, sab,"said the gentlemanly darkey, f'dat disycrc wedding, sab, is to bo berrymuch in the fashion, sah." "Verywell," replied the clergyman, "I willtry to do everything in my power togratify the wishes of the parlies." Soafter the dinner and dancing andsupper were over the groom's "bestman" called again on the minister,and left him a leu-dollar fee. **I hopeeverything was as your friend desiredit?" said the urbane clergyman."Well, sab, to tell dc truf, Mr. John-sou was a little disappointed," an¬swered the groom's man. "Why, 1look my robes!" said the minister."Yes, sab.it wasn't dat." "I ad¬hered to the rubrics of the church.""Yes, sah ; dat was all right." "I was
punctual, and shook hands with thecoup!e. What, more could I do?""Well, sah, Mr. Johnson he kind o'felt hurt, you see, 'cause you didn'tsalute dc bride."
What Those Long Nights Mean.Ah, yes, fond youth ! It may be
very nice to court a girl in the farnorthern countries where the nightsarc six months long ; but just thinkof the vast amount of peanuts audgumdrops the young man, when go¬ing to sec his girl, mujt lug alongwith him fn order to kill time aud in¬duce her to believe that his afleclionfor her is as warm as over.

Mrs, l8ndoro Middlclon, n verybeautiful woman, and on.e of tho ac¬
knowledged leaders of fashion of Mo¬bile, can certainly boast'of 'lue pos¬session of as much nerve nod truemoral courago as aro often vouchsafedto any of her sex. """^
On tho evening of September 19thshe was in her boudoir, putting awaysome articles of1 jewelry, when shonoticed that tho peculiar position ofa library lamp, that was burningupon a chair in the back part of theroom, had thrown upon the lloor, al¬most under her feet, tho shadow ot aman who was crouching under, a
broad-topped ornamental table in thecenter of the room. She also remark¬ed that the open hand of tho shadowhad but two lingers, and rememberedthat several despprate burglaries hadrecently been committed in tho neigh¬borhood, suppositiously by a negrodesperado, who was notorious as hav¬ing lost two lingers on his righthand.Mr. Middlcton was absent from the
city, and, besides herself in the house,there was but a single maid-servant.Instead of fainting with fear, or
shrieking for help, the bravo ladyseated herself at the very table under¬neath which the miscreant was con¬
cealed, and rang for the servant."Hand me writing materials, Brid¬
get," said she with perfect calmness,"I want you to take a note this in¬stant to Mr. Forfair, the jeweler, andhave him send back my diamondnecklace and car-drops, which I leftthere for repairs several days ago.Bring them.with you, no matter, ilfully repaired or not. Thcy*aro bytwenty fold the most valuable articlesof jewelry that I possess, and I donot wish to pass another night with;out haying them in my bureau draw¬er.'?'The note was at once written and
dispatched ; instead of being in. thetenor she had signified (op p^ppsofor the concealed robber to overhear,for she had no jewelry under repair),it was a hasty note to the jeweler, an
intimate friend, in which she suc¬
cinctly stated her terrible position,and urged him to hasten to her relief,with requisite police assistance, im-mcdintcly on receipt of the missive.
The agonies which that refined anddelicate woman underwent when leftalone in the house, with the conscious¬ness of the picscncc of that desperaterobber, perhaps assassin as well,crouched under the very table, uponwhich she leaned and perhaps touchedby her very skirts, can only be left tothe reader's imagination ; but heriron nerve sustained her through theordeal. She yawned, hummed an
operatic air, turned over the leavesof a novel, and in other ways lulledthe linker into a sense of perfect se¬
curity and expectancy, and waitedwith a wildly beating heart, and hereyes fastened upon the hands of herlittle ormolu cluck with a greedy, fe¬verish gaze.At last, however, came the prayer
for relief. There was a ring at thedoor-bell, and she strolled carelesslyinto the hall and down stairs to openit. The ruse had been a success.She not only admitted Bridget, butalso Mr. Forfait' and three stalwartpolicemen. The latter passed stealth¬ily lip-stairs and into the boudoir,where they suddenly pounced uponthe concealed burglar so unexpected¬ly as to secure him without a strug¬gle.The prisoner proved to be a negro
criminal named Claptnnn, but mostlyknown as "Two Fingered Jcflf," whowas in great recjuest about Hint tiniofor several robberies committed in theneighborhood a short time before, andhe is now serving a twenty years'sentence in the Alabama State Pris¬on..Hartford Times.

Chicago's New Mayor.(-artcr Harrison, the Mayor-elect
of Chicago, is a native of Newport,Ivy., and a grandson of PresidentV/illiam Henry Harrison. At the be¬ginning of the war lie wrote a letterto a schoolmate, Ihpy having attendedthe Oxford University, Ohio, togeth¬er, who had enlisted fron} this conn-
try in the Twentieth Tennessee Regi¬ment C. S. A. This letter was fullof-sympathy and patriotic sentiments,and expressed a determination to en¬
list in the cause of the South as soonas his father cotdd be reconciled to it.At that time Harrison was veryyoung. This letter was given thewriter and placed in his trunk forsafe-keeping. At the battle of Fish«ing Creek the trunk was captured, theletter read and the next thing was
the arrest of Harrison. Rut he man-
[aged to get free, and soon made his'appearance i;; the Southern army.He is now Mayor of the strongholdof Republicanism, but is elected as a
true and tried Soutaern Democrat.
Three white men and three blackmen, meeting on the same side of a
river, and wishing to cross to the. op¬posite shore, were obliged to do so ina skill that would not carry but two.Each while man had a largo amountof money upon his person, and theblack men being aware of tho factagreed among themselves that, whilecrossing the river, if two of theirnumber should be bft on either shorewith one white man they would robhim. Tho white men suspecting themmanaged it so that they were all car¬
ried over in Ilm skiir without leavingone of their number exposed. Howwas this done?
The Old Slogan.One thing this debate has plainly
disclosed to the country. It is, thatthe next campaigu will be fought ex¬
clusively on war and sectional issues.Their gonfalon is to bo the bloodyshirt, and their slogan a re-echo ofall the damnable filth and falsehoodof tho dark days of ULio pasjt. Gar-field, Fryc, and all the smai^ei'knavesand incendiaries who have yelped thechorus to their bitter, bloody mouth-:ings have given incontestable proofof this design. It is to be the solidNorth against the solid South, a
square issue of hate, falsehood, evilpassion and bitterest denunciationagainst right, icason, argument andpatriotism. Frye's speech a few daysago re-echoed" Gurflcld's, and tho an¬
swering chorus all along tho lineshows not a discordant note. For a
man who could say, and with eyjdcntsincciity,'what he did over the grave01 Julian Ilurlridgc, and then speaksuch words of deep venom and bloodywrath towards Hai fridge's section addits sons, only proved too conclusive¬ly what he and his have resolvedupon. The answering echo of fierceapplause which followed his most vio¬lent wordp s ill further demonstratedthe party resolve. 1 have never heardheartier approval of bitterest partisanutterances than Ffye won. lie ie a
good speaker, practiced, and pointed,and holds his party's car next toGarfield, and the applause that greet¬ed him reminded me of the Ulaincovation in the stormy days of thoForty-fourth Congress.
The Wife.It needs no guilt to break a hus¬
band's heart'. The absence of con¬
tent, the muttcrings of spleen, theuntidy dress and cheerless home, theforbidding scowl and deserted hearth.these, and other nameless neglects,without a crime among them, haveharrowed to the quick the heart'score of many a man, and plantedthere, beyond f,he reach of cure, thegorrn of dark despair. Q, may wo¬man, before that sight arrives, dwdilon the recollections of her youth, andcherishing tho dear idea of that tuue-ful lime, awaken and keep alive thepromises she so kindly gave. Andthough she may be injured.not theinjuring one.the forgolj^n, not thefornctling wife.a happy allusion tothe hour of peaceful love.a kindlywelcome to a comfortable home.asmile of love to banish hostile words.a kiss of peace to pardon nil thepast.and the hardest heart that over

Stokes' Other Coat.Our good friend Stokes, of the
Union Times, apologir.es for theOinissiob of a certain communicationby saying that "he found it, when tooLute, in the pocket of a coat which hehad laid aside for a t me." This im¬plies the possession of two coats, anda decree of prosperity unusual amongeditors in the interior. If stokes isindeed s:> fortunate as to own twocoals he should not make boast of it,now that nearly all of the countryquill-drivers are in the reverse condi¬tion ; if but a boast, it is calculatedto mislead the press into the beliefthat he is riding on the top wave ofprosperity.
