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. the Hille room at the head of the st.Jr3 which l*ul cu’ ci the k.’cLer., us their lather did not up early we eoald De home be-' 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, » -.ee-we ha<’ q’det, so tire 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 i-i tiine v f<>i-the <ild ladj' looked into the 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 a.’kick, - . ■ Ou waking up and looking around 1 saw Jphn’s eyes as trig as my,fist, while the sun was beaming in at the window. IV hat to do we couldn’t tell, for we heard 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 LTremost, turned over and down the steps "ftrlTl struck flic doof*wh?ch was fastened by 1 wooden butt and it gave away, out I rolled in front-of tbte old man. He threw up bis hands and cried .* *uord save us 1’ for he thought it was the devil. The old luly screamed until you couli have heard her a mile. I was so scared and bewildered that I could not grt up at once. It was warm weather and .have on anything but a 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 half through the yard the dogs set up a ter -iibU>kowl and went for me. When 1 got into the barn yard I had to run through a flock of sheep, and among them was op old ram who backed off a lit tle nrtd started for me. With one bound I escaped his blow, sprang into the barn and began to climb up the logs into the inp.w, Wh<yi_an old mother hen pounced upon my lets, pecking them until tbiy bled. I threw myself upon the hay, and after John had slid down the porch into a hogs head of rain water, he came to me with oue of my boots, and iny coat, and oue oi the legs of my pants. lie found me completely prostrated. Part of my shirt, my hat, one leg of my pants, my vest, stockings, neck lie and one ; Loot were left behind. ■ "I vowed then Hud there that I would never go to see another girl, and 111 die i bWtM C I wip- Ouh Oldest Vessel —The Boston Ad vertiser says that the bark Draco is the old eat vessel in the United States.

Areal Christian seldom sees a defect in his neighbor, zl pure lake reflects the beautiful sky, the clouds and the whole oveihanging trees, but when it is ruffled it reflects noth ing that is pure. A bad man seldom sees a good trait in the character ofhis neighbors. The Chinamen of California, in the expec tation oi being driven from the country, are sending home the remains ot their dead. In case where only the bones are left, scrnpulc us care is taken to miss none, as they be’ieve that to leave one behind would imperil the soul of the dead persons. A paper is spread by the grave, and upon it the skeleton is laid piece by piece, until it is completed. “We frcquentlly see it stated,” 1 said Mr. Oddfish, “that such and such men started from extreme poverty, coming into town in the first place without a f irthing of money and rising by their own exertions. When I first came I had to borrow money to get here, an 1 I’ve been borrowing money ever since. It is a great thing at sixty to have established such a wonderful credit.” Sir Isaac Newton was once examining a new and very fine globe, when a gentleman came intohis study wdiodid not believe in a God, but declared the world we live in came by chance. He was much pleased with the handsome globe, and asked,“who made it?” “Nobody,” answered Is-iac,“it happened here.” The gentleman looked up in amazetnenl at the answer, but soon un de: stood what it meant.

We love to see domestic life’s uninterrupted j >ys: wc love all these, yet far above all we ever said, we love —what ever printer loves—to have subscriptions paid. A man recently died in Zurich,, who for thirty years made a remarkably big fool of himsclt. When young he fell in love, and then became jealous. While in this condi tion he offended bis sweetheart,, who to pun ish him made him swear that he would not speak for twelve months. He swore.

Hayes is the “great unknown"—a negative candidate, aud herein lies bis strength. But he will be easily beaten if the Dim icratswork 1 armoniously together, and with that determination which ought to in spire them inorder to get rid of the present corrupt administrations.
