“ To-morrow the critics will commence.
You know who the critics are !
The men who have failed in Literature and Art.”
If the writer could call himself a votary
of literature and art, yea, a pride-crushed
votary of literature and art, he might con
sider himself forestalled aud rebuked by
the very cunning and ingenious quotation
of the proud authoress; blit as his literary
banner is neither fanned by the gentle
zephyrs of victory nor lashed by the turbid
billows of defeat, Quit, 'at little Regina

Infelice certainly deserves its name. Oh!
Unhappiness! Can it be that thou art so
inextricably entwiued within and around
the thoughts, being, yea, the very heart
strings of maukind, that it is not cuough

upon which future generations shall read—

Full many u flower is bom to Mash anaeen,

Yes I If we wrote naught but that, which
causes the heart to leap forth with joy, and
the soul with its fire lyrio chords, to re
sound with melody, our book-shelves
would be empty, our authors and authoresses
would starve, aud our literature, now
boundless in quantity, as the stars that
deck the coronet of night aro in number,
would be meagre; and man would mourn
because there were no vestiges of the mise

But, on the other hand, if to be conju

If writers on English composition and
rhetoric had added to their classification
of style, tliat of “Pedantry,” we would call
that of Mrs. Evans “Pedantic.” When she
leaves her characters and revels in the ab

to push away the baby carriage when she
found that i. was Maud Laurence.
It does seem strange that woman, in all

as we often find In life, to the object that

But again. Is not the picture of Minnie

The Secret “Order or the American Union”—
Synopsis of Principles. ,
[Extracts from tho N. Y. Herald.]
We oppose a division of- the school fund
for any sectarian purpose Whatever. In a
word, we are pledged to maintain our repub
lican form of government and its institutions
as inherited from our fathers, and to place
tfianijM^ io . position to dWaxI them
selves against the aggressions of Romanism
The Order was organized in the year
1867, with the a rowed purpose “ to disfran-
cfais; Roman Catholics, an l to prevent them
from holding political office.”
Its national government is called the Sen
ate, while the State organizations of “ gov
ernments” afe styled “Sttfel Legislatures,”
aud these latter* are divided into lodges or
subordinate organizations known in the
Union as ** Conneila”^. v.<
In order to give a clearer idea of the teal
aims and purposes of this “ Order of Ameri
can Union” we herewith append the text ot
the “ constitution," adopted for the govern
ment of the national Senate or supreme body
in this secret 'Order. The document h
taken from sgenoine printed copy,-And
■ if-
CONSTITUTION OF SENATE.—-PREAMBLE.
In vie* of the intolerant, persistent, ag
gressive efforts of Romanists and their evi
dent determination to control the govern
ment of the United States, and to destroy
our civil and religious liberty, we declare
ourselves adherents to the following proposi
tions, viz:
First—That any interference in political
affairs by any man or body of men acting in
behalf or by direction of any eooiestastical
body or power, for the benefit of such organ
stitutioni
Second—:That any recognition of sectarian
qiMttk*tfWdaMh£iA**4be fuigwmnt
of our public educational or reformatory in
stitutions or in rditi—i again is opposed
the spirit of our institutions.
Third—That there is danger that the
Roman Catholic Church, professedly a body
superior to all governments, and demanding
from their adherents an allegianoe paramount
to that given to the State, may take advan
tage—as they have done in the past—of The
equality allowed to them in common with
other forms of religious belief, to strive for
political influence for the purpose of advanc
ing the interests of the church.
Therefore, as that organization have in-
their own recognition as an element in
tical problems, and demanding special
station for their own benefit, we farther
declare it to be our conviction that true
Americans-should organise to oppose such
attempts; and we do hereby organize our
selves and adopt for our government the

not meager at Niagara Falls. -You are
sometime-! in doubt what you ought'todo, but
you are seldom in doobt Concerning What
you must do. If an infant can read, that
infant is measurably safe in Niagara.
If you room at the Hotel you will find
your coarse marked out in the ntest con
venient way, by means of placards on the
wall like these:
“Pull the bell-rope gently, but don’t
jerk.”
“Bolt your door.”
“Don’t scrape matches on the walls or
furniture.”
“Turn off your gas when you retire."
“Tie up y< ur dog.”
“If you put your boots outside the door
they will be blacked, but the house will not
be responsible for their return.’’
This a confusing and tanglesome propo
sition, because it moves you to deliberate
long and painfully as to whether it will real
ly be any object to you to have jour boots
blacked unless they are returned. , *.
“Give your key to the omnibus driVnr, or
you may forget and carry it off with you. '
Outside the hotel, wherever you wander,
you are intelligently assisted by.the signs:
“Keep off the grass.”
“Don’t climb the trees.”
“Hands off the vegetables.
“IJonTTSttch your GUMIS OBT

Visit the Cave of the Winds.
Have your portrait taken in yoor car

Forty per cent, in gold levied on all
peanuts and other curiosities purchased in

“ Photographs of the falls taken here.”
“ Visitors will please notify the superin
tendent of any neglect on the part ot era
ployees to charge for commodities.”! (No
inattention of this kind is observed.)
“ Don’t thryw stones down; there foight
be people below.” “The proprietor will,not
be responsible for parties who jump overthe
Falls. (More shirking of responsibility—it
appears to be the prevailing thing here.) .
I always had a high regard for the signers
of the Declar tion of Independence, but now
they did not really seem to amount to much
along with the signers of the Niagara Falls.
To tell tl^e truth the multitude nf signers
aniidyeu me. It was L-cause I noticed at
last tney were prohibiting the very thing I
was just wanting to do.
I desired to roll on the grass; the sign,
prohibited it. I loured to smoke; a sign
prohibited it. And I was iusl in the act of
throwing a stone over to astonish and pulver
ize such parties as might be fiicnicktng below,
when a sign I hate' just- mentioned Ibrbade
that. Even that satisfaction was denied
me, and 1 was a friendless orphan.
-Thera was no resource now hut to seek-
consolation freta the flowing bowL 1 drew
my flask.frora my pocket, but it was all in
vain. ■ A sign confronted am, which said :
“No drinking allowed on these 'prem
ises.”
i On that J|pot I - might have perished of
thirst but' tor the saving words of an hon
ored maxim that flitted through my memory
at that moment: “ All signs fail iu dry
times. 1 * Common law takes precedence of
the statutes. I was saved.
The noble red man had -always -been a
.darling of mine. I loved to read about him
in tales aud legends and romanoa.
I love thread of his inspired sagacity, and
of his love of the wild, free life of mountain
and finest, and his grand truthfblnas; his
hatred of teacberv. and his general nobility
of character, and his stately metaphorical
speech; «»d his chivalric love for'the dusky
maiden,'and the picturesque pomp of his
dress and accoutrements.
‘ When UM»d the-shops at Niagara Falls
full of dainty beadwrt-k and stunning mocca
sins, and equality stunning toy figures repre
senting human beings who carried their
w«a|MS to Into bored in their arms and
WfaCtilHit'llist P*S» I was filled with
emotion. 1 knew that now I was going
to come free to face with the noble red
m A^ lady clerk in the shop told me, ideed,
that all her grand array wa? made by the
Indians, and there were pleuty about the
Falls, and that they were friendly, and that
it would not be dangerous to speak to them.
I came upon a camp of them gathered in
the shade of a great tree, making moccasins,
and addressed therein the following lan
guage of friendship: ' / ’
“ Noble Bed-men, Brave Grand Sachem,
War Chiefs, 8quawa and High-ypu-Nuck-a-

Polecat, yon, Devourer of Mountains, you,

noble savages, illustrious guttersnipes—”
“Down wid him!”
“Scalp the blaggard!”
“Hang him!”
“Dhrown hitn!”
It was the quickest operation that I ever
saw. I amply saw a sudden flash in the
air of dubs, brickbats, fists, besd baskets and
tnnererins - d stogie flash; wad/ they all- ap
peared to hit me at* once* and no two of them
in the same place. 1 -•
'•jv—In the text instant the entire tribe was
upon me. They tore all toe clothes riff bf
me; they broke all my arms and legs; they
gave me a thump that, dented, the top of ray
neadtiliit would holdcqfiea like a saucer,
aud then to crown thpto disgraceful proceed,
ings aud add insul.t-to injury, they threw me
over the Horseshoe FallandLgot wet.
About ninety-nine or is hiihared feet froic
the top the remains of n y vest caught on ’ a
projecting rock, and I was almost drowned
b&wfeouldjtottotoe.
Ifinally fellmd brought upin a world of
foam at the ISM ot the Fall, whose celled
and bubbly masses towered up several inches
above my head.
Of course **«* into the eddy. I sailed
rouud and’immd it toriy-four times, chasing
a chip and gaining on it—«aeh round trip a
half-mile—reaching the; same bush on the
Hank forty-four; timss. and just missing it a
iiair’s breadth <mery time.
At last a man wjlked down and sat down
close to that bush, and put a pipe in his
mouth find lit> match and followed me with
one eye and kept the other on, tho match
while he sheltered it with his hands from
the wind. Presently I remarked: “Please
excuse the curiosity of a drowning man, but
will you explain this singular conduct of
yours?”
“With pleasure. I am the Coroner.
Don’t burry on my account. I can wait for
you. I wish I had a match.”
“Take my place and I’ll go and get you
one,” I said.
He declined. This lack of confidence on
his part created a coolness between us, and
from that time forward I avoided him.
It waaiuydfire to we anything happen
ed to me to ao time the occurrence as to
throw my custom into the bands of the op
position Coroner over oq the > merican
side. , j 1
At last a policeman came along and ar
rested me for disturbing the peacelay yelling
for help. ij
The judge fined me, but I had tbe advan
tage of him. SSf money was with rey
pantaloons, which were with the Indians.
Thus I escaped. I am now lying in a :
very critical condjtion. At least I am lying
lam hurt all over, but T~ca'nnot telPtbc'

He will make out my manifest this even

Mr. Editor Having read your articles
upon the subject of matrimony, I feel con
strained to put to a few words to defense of
my much abused sex. I will review the his
tory of the average married couple, pitying
your patience the while- I will take you to
the starting point, courtship. It isn’t pleas-

to a glance into this period. I will lead you
bow into tbe parlor with the lovers. You
behold tbe man upon his knees, his counte
nance beaming with love, his lips quivering
with the expressions of devotion. He is
actually a worshipper. The woman before
him. is his idol. Ho vows that his life shall
be demoted to her happiness—that his evenr

Mount thalbrone be bat placed- hefefehgr.
We will now take a glimpse of the honey
moon. Tbe blooming bride wears a joyous
smile, for toe sits a queen upon the throne of
her husband’s heart. Allis ‘contour derose.’
Life is glorious to her—the world radiant
with sunshine, and her heart, so toll of love,
overflows at every touch of kindness from
even the most distant hand.
The honey moon over—“ My Lady” be
gins’to- learn buttons are to be sewed on,
socks darned-one step toe descends from
her tiurpne. .
Next she must see that the house is neat
in every part—meals in time, and at even
ing, slippers warmed upon the hearth rug—
foot-stool, chair, candle-stand and book in
readiness; for her whilom servant, now lord,
bus discovered that his happiness is ^cund,
not so much io heir’s, as in his comforts, and
there he sits (selfish creature) book in band
amusing himself with imaginary men and
women while the weary wife by his side,
pining for companionship,' plies the busy
needle in silence; her thoughts the while
ranurnfullr reverting to the pleasant evenings
spent beneath tbe -parental roof, where
brothers aud sisters mingled to social con
verse or whiled away tbe joyous hours with
music or some pleasant game. She begins
to realize her changed position. She has
dismounted her throne and now finds herself
to be not “ queen,” but “ upper servant.”
Her lord, not satisfied with this, bis whilom
qneen is requested to enter the kitchen. Here
she is expected to be mistress of the culinary
arts. She must know when turkey is “done
to a turn,” bow to broil beefsteak, how “rare”
a roast should be, how thin to slice potatoes,
which she must “drop into boiling lard” and
from which they must come “brown, crisp.
and not at all greasy. n (Metbioks this sel

a similar bath.) Sfie must understand how
to make a “good cook of a poor one”—a fine
dish from poor material, etc., eta
Now, from this greasy, sooty employment
(her delicate complexion scorched and fingers
blistered ) she must emerge sweet aud clean
(no time to change attire, for dinner would
get cold and husband consequently cross).
She must meet him with a welcoming smile

Added to these trials came tbe cares of
maternity. She is now nurse, seamstress

descended to a servant; her throne having
