Virtue and. Intelligence—The Safeguards of Liberty.
TIN! (BJ /D HUE
When men Ibrgf t their love of gold,
And love their honor
When truth is only current coir.,
And counted o’«.r and o’.<-r;
When m< n love freedom for it’s sake —
For a’l as well as one—
And for the greatest good their work,
From day'io day, is done ;
: When men throw self aside and live
For some just purpose high,
Then will the glorious era come
When none shall fear to die.
TIME."
“Some time,’’ we say, and turn our eyes ,
Toward* the far hills of paradise.
Some day, some time, a sweet new rest
Shall blossom flower-liku in each breast.
Some time, some dtiy T oureyes shall see
The faces kept in rnemorj’i
Some day their hands shall clasp our hands,
Just over in the morning lauds.
Some day our ears shall h*ar the song.
Os triumph over sin and wrong.
Some time, some time, but ah ! not yet,
Still we will wait and not forget.
Tl at some time all these things shall be,
And rest be given to you and me.
So let us wait, though years move slow,
That glad “some time’’ will come, we know.
Scared Out of a Wife.
The narrative which l am about to Xrrite
was told to me one bleak cold night in a
country parlor. It was one of these nights
in midwinter, when the wind swept over
the land, making everything tingle with'its
frosty breath, that I was seated before a
blazing fire, surrounded by a jolly half d<>z
en boys and an old bachelor, A. Peter
Green, about forty and eight y» ars cl 1.
It was just the night without to make
those within enjoy a good story, so each of
us had to tell his favorite story, s ve Mi-
Green, and he was a jolly story teller, we'
were somewhat surprised to hear him say,
“1 have no story to tell that would interest
you,” so we had to find other entertain
ments for a while, when one of the boys’
told me to a*k him how it happened that
he never got mairie-d. So Idi J.
“Well gentlemen,” be begin, “it does
not seem right for me to tell I o.v that hap
i e ltd, f.ut as it is about myself, I don’t Rale
much. You s e when I was young we had
o walk as high as five miles to church and
singing schools whiJi was our chief enjoy
ment But this don’t have anything to d >
with my not getting a wi e,but I just wanted
to show you how we h id some trouble them
days in getting our sp- rt.
John Smith and 1 were like brothers, or
like ‘Mary and h'-r lamb.’ So wc went to
see two sisters, and as we were not the
best boys imaginable the old gentleman
took umbrage and would not allow us to
come near the bouse, so we would take thp
girls to the cud of the lane an 1 there wc
would have to take the final kiss.
We soon got tired of this sort of fun, and -
I told John, on our way from singing
school one night that I was going to take
Sadie and that I was going into the bouse
too
He suid the old mau would ruin me if I
did.
I told him I was going to risk it anyhow,
let come what would.
He said he would risk it if I would.
So we went with the girls.
When we got to the of the lane I told
the girls we proposed going ail the way.
They looked at each other in away I
didn’t like too well, but said they (the old
folk ) would be in bed, so they didn’t care
if we did.
They were a little more surprised when
I told them wc thought of going in a little |
w hile, but all was quiet When we get to •
the house, so we had no trouble in g. ttiug I
in the kitchen.
Then and there wc bad our first court,'
and I made up my mind 10 ask tiacie to be
my w iie the next lime I came !
It now past the turn oi the night aud
A3 w’e had four miles to walk, 1 told John j
we had better be going. So we stepped
out on die porch, but just us we did so the
sky was lit up by lightning, and oaetreaaen
ous thunder peal rolled along the mouniuin
Jdcs. Its echo had not died out in the !ui
oil vales until the ram begun to poor from >
the garnered fullness of the clouds. We;
waited for it to stop until wc were all sleepy |
when the girls said we could go to bod it.

fort the old folks were astir So after bid- ■
ding the girls a s<cet good uight, and hug-'
ging them a little, and wishing them pitas- *
ant dreams, and promising li.cm to come
buck on the next Sunday night, we surt-;
ed to bed.
Wo didn’t h *ve far to go, &> thu bed stood j
nc&r the head o! toe siitirs. John was soon '
in bed, but as 1 s’w w-s 1 re, »

otl man would mil iresr.
I was now ren Jj’ to gelt in bed, $0 I put
the light cut and picked up my boots think
ing io - put them in a morg-aonveuient place,
w*en down one of my.l-gs went through a
pipe hole, which bad been covered by pa
per, up to my bip.
Now one part of me was up stairs while
inc -longest part of me whs in the kitchen.
As rny leg was very long, it reached a
shelf which was occupied by dishes, pans,,
jy tsUilfii n ...and turned it over with a
tremeuSuus crash. .
The .girls had riot-retired, and we could
hear them Igugh litTo' split their sides.
I felt awful 'ashamed, and w.as seized un
til my heart was in my throat, for I expect
ed the old man every moment. 1 txtrica
tettmy leg from lire confounded hole just

kitchen - from' the roo-ni door and asked
what that noise.was about.
The girls put her off as best' they could
amd I went to bed, while John was strang :
ling himself under the • cover to Jreep from
laughing aloud-
We soon went off into theiand of dreams
with the hope of waging early. I wish I
could tell you my dreams, but it would
take me too long. One moment I would’
fancy myself by the .side of my Badie, sip
ping nectar from her heaven bedded lips
nnij ihe- neKt.l would be flying from the
,olp man, while he would be flourishing his
C;wie- over-my head. ’ . ~q.
This came to’ an end’by John giving me

Jphn’s eyes as trig as my,fist, while the sun
was beaming in at the window.

the old mail having. Jamily prayers in the
kitchen.
John looked out of the window and said
we could get down over the porch.
’Get ..out and dicss us soon as possible,’
said he.
So in my hurry foot got fastened in
lb: bed clothes, and out I tumbled, head

When I heard the girls snickering it
made me mad, and I jumped up aud ran
out of the door, leaving the greater part of
my only garment on the old door latch.
Off I started for the barn, and when about

The Chinamen of California, in the expec

“We frcquentlly see it stated,” 1 said Mr.
Oddfish, “that such and such men started

Sir Isaac Newton was once examining a

made it?” “Nobody,” answered Is-iac,“it
happened here.” The gentleman looked up
in amazetnenl at the answer, but soon un
