Sawyer’s Only Detect.—Wbt-u the Saw
yers returned from their wedding trip, we of
course called upon them. Mrs. Sawyer alone
was at home, and, after a brie! discussion of
the weather the conversation turned upon
Sawyer. We had known him for many years
and we took pleasure in making Mrs. Sawyer
believe that he had as much virtue as an om
nibus load of patriarchs and martyrs, and
the wisdom of Solomon, with a couple of
editions of the revised cyclopedia thrown in.
Mrs. Sawyer assented joyously to it all, but
we detected a shade of sadness on beT lace
while she spcke. We asked her if anything
was the matter; if Sawyer's health was not
good. “Oh, yes,” she said, “veiy good in
deed, and she loved him dearly. He was the
best man in the world; but—bnt—” Then
we assured Mts. Sawyer that she might speak j
frankly to ns, as we were Sawyer’s most inti
mate friend, and could probably smooth any ]
little unpleasantness that might mur their ;
happiness. She then said it was nothing. It
might seem foolish to speak of it; she knew it
was not her dear husband's fault, and she
ought not to complain; but it was hard, bard j
to submit when the reflected that there was j
but one thing to‘preveirt her being perfectly j
happy; yes, but one thing; “for Ob, Mr. j *
Adeler, I would ask for nothing more in this j _ __ - ■
■world if Ezekiel only had a Roman nose!” Tft n
We did not mention the subject to Ezekiel
when we met him for fear ot exciting him. j
But it is sad to tbiuk of two young lives
being made miserable and two loving hearts
separated just for want of one Roman nose.
Bnt it is partly Mrs. Sawyer’s own fault,
Any woman who truly loved her husband j
might, we think, live happily with him if he
bad a nose like a bar of Castile soap.
FOOD FOR INFANT MINDS.
We have received the first nnmber of a new j
Sunday school paper jnst issued ih Chicago.
It has for its motto “Onward to Heaven,” and j
it contatns a request fcr a notice from other
papers. One of the most prominent of the !
items in it is the following:
“Old Bangs was a little too fond of his hit
ters, and one day, after taking a snifter or two
too many, be lay down by the roadside to
sleep. A buzzard observed him, and, think
ing ho was dead, alighted on bis breast and
pecked him in the face. Whereupon old
Bangs looked up and said, * You’re a leetle
bit too smart; 1 ain’t dead yet.’ *’
We do not profess to know mnch about the
best methods of instructing children, but this I
seems to us to be just the kind of intellectual ' . m/Ycrra t\t a ifAYrnc
food to fill the infant mind with a yearning for ^ AlvlliJib, HIAalUJMlu,
pure religion, and to dispose it to seek to find i
peace in holiness. The child whose tendency
to yield to the impulses of original sm, impels
it to walk in the path of wickedness, naturally \
would embrace the truths of Christianity with
impetuous ardor, immediately after reading GOLD CHAINS,
About the snifters ot old Bangs, and if the al- j
lusions to bitters did not convince such an |
evil-disposed babe of the instability of all
earthly happiness, certainly the conversation j
between Bangs and the buzzard would create
and irrepressible longing tor celestial joys.
We can cordially recommend Nticb a paper as
this.
THE HIRED GIRL.
There is one reason why we should regret j
to have the present troubles with domestic |
servants ended. It :s because women derive
so much pleasure from discussing the subject.
Jt*lace two women together, and it makes no
difference where the conversation starts from,
it will be perfectly certain to work around to j
the hired girl question before many minutes ;
have elapsed. We have seen an elderly house
keeper, with experience in conducting the !
talk in the right direction, break into u i
discussion of Pythagoras ami the doctrine I
of the transmigration of souls, and
switch off the entire debate with such
expedition that au unsophisticated listener
would for some moments have au yidistinct
impression that the conversation referred to
the inefficiency of Pythagoras as a washer and
ironer, and to the tendency of that heathen
philosopher to hike two Thursdays out every
week. And when a woman has an unusually
villainous hired girl who bums up the coal,
wastes tbe butter, mixes her hair with the bis
cuit, and stuffs her cushions with the sugar,
it is interesting to observe how she glories in
the superiority of her sufferings to those of
her neighbors, and how, as she tells of them,
sh© gloats over her misery and feels good
about it. A woman who has a realty compe
tent servant is always in a condition <..r abject
wretchedness on such occasions.
THE MEANEST MAN.
It tarns oat, after all, that the meanest man
is not the man we referred to the other day, i
who split up his wife's tombstone. 15 irrows '
is even meaner than he. Burrows was an in
veterate tobacco chewer, but as his wife de- j
tested the practice and made home tempest- •
uous and stormy for him when he indulged
in the habit there he always chewed when
away during the day, and declared to his wife
that he Lad stopped permanently. But oue
evening, upon entering the front door and
drawing out his handkerchief, he accidentally
pulted out his paper of tobacco, and without
noticing it left it lying on the floor. When
Bui iows sat down to his tea, Lis wife walked
in with the tobacco in her hand, and looking
Buriows firmly in the eye, said, “Do you
know who that belongs to, Mr. Burrows ?”
He quickly turned, scowling to bis oldest
boy a d said, with a severe voice: “Immortal
Mars! Is it possible that you have be
gun t • chew tobacco, you young reprobote?
When d yon get that nasty stuli? What'd

you lii an by such condnct, you young vil- j
lain? Haven’t I told you often enough to let
tobacco alone? Come to me, or I’ll tear
the jacket off of you." And as he spoke the :
stern father made a grab at the hoy and j
dragged him out in the entry, where he chaa- j
tised him' with a cane. Then Burrows threw |
the tobacco over the fence, where he went out |
and got it in the morning and enjojed it dur
ing the day. “Merciful Moses!” be exclaimed
when he laid us about it, “wh»t would 1 have
done if my children had all been girls? It
makes an"old lather’s heart glad when he
feels that he has a boy he can depend on in
such emergencies."
WHY CHUBB MODB.VED.
When Chubb’s wife died we called in to
mourn with him, and if possible to console
him in his affliction. The old man sat in the
rocking chair, with his eyes closed, chewing a
toothpick and rocking to and fro as he ap
parently mused over the year, that bad sped
so happily in company with bis late partner.
We gently approached the subject of Mrs.
Chubb's departure. We assured him that we
sympathized with him in bis deep affliction,
and the more sincerely because we well knew
the estimable qualities of his wife and were
familiar with the tirtnee with which she
adorned her home. “She was, indeed," we
said, “an excellent woman; a remarkable wo
man; a woman of sterling qualities and of un
affected piety.’’ Chubb stopped rocking and
locked at us monrnfnlly. “Unaffected pie
ty?" he exclaimed; “unaffected piety? That's
jnst it. That is just what’s the matter. 1
tell yoo, Adeler,” he said, bringing his hand
down emphatically on the arm ot the chair,
“the way that there women could roast a su
gar-cared ham would bring tears to the eyes
of a graven image.” Then we went cat and
left him alone with bis sorrow. There sre
some kinds of grief that are too sacred to be
lightly intruded upon.
The proprietor is determined that every
sufferer with pains shall know the wondortul
power of Jackson's Magic Balsam, sod It gives
him more pleasure to relieve the sufferers U
pain than it does to sell the medicine. He
has, therefore, decided to give from one hun
dred thou.and to one million bottles of his
celebrated Balsam away to all sufferers. And
he would say that those who are not suffering
should not be unconcerned, but recommend
this valuable medicine to all who ere suffering
with distress and pain.
