MARRIED LIFEJN NEVADA.
THE CONFIDENTIAL TALK A YOUNG C >UPLE
HAD ABOUT FAULTS, AND WHAT
CAME OF XT.
(The Virginia CityJEuterprise.]
After Ltivi .fr been mirrie.l some
weeks, it came into the ho nl of a
j’ouiig’ Imsbnml in tliE city, one Sim
ony, when he had but little to occupy
his mind, to suggest to his wife that
they should plainly and honestly state
the faults that each had discovered
in the other since they had been man
and wife. After some hesitation, I lit’
wife agreed to the proposition, but
stipulated that the rehearsal should
lie made in all sincerity and with an
honest view to tlie bettering of each
other, as otherwise it would bo of no
use to speak of the faults to which
marriage had opened their eyes. The
Ini-band was ot the trune mind, and
nis wife asked him to begin with her
faults.
lie was somewhat reluctant, but his
wife insisted that he was the first to
propose the matter, and as lie was at
the head of the house it was his
place to take the lead. Thus urged
lie bey an the recital. Me said:
“My dear, one of the lirst faults J
observed in vou, after we began
keeping liouse, was that you a good
deni neglected the tin-ware. You
dd’t keep it scoured as bright as it
should be. My mother always took
great pride in her tin-ware, and kepi
i! as bright as a dollar.”
“I tun so glad yon have mentioned
it, my dear/’ said the wifi, blushing a
ill tU- “hereafter you shall see* no
-peck on cup or pan. Pray pro
ceed.”
“I have also observed said the bus
band, “that you use your dish-rags a
long time without- washing them, and
hen finally throw them away. Now,
when at home, 1 remember that my
mother always used to wash out hei
>i li-rags when she was done Using
them, and then hang them up when
they could dry, ready for the next
time* she would need them.”
Blushing as before, the young wife
promised to amend the fault*
The husband continued with a
most formidable list ofsimular faults,
many more than we have spare to
enumerate, when he declared that
he could think of nothing more that
was worthy of mention.
“Now,” said he, “my dear, you ho
gin and tell me all the faults you
have observed in me since we have
been married.”
The young house-wife sat in silence;
lmr face flushed to the temples, end a
great lump came into her ‘throat
which she seemed to be striving hard
to swallow.
“Proceed, my dear; tell me all the
.nulls you have observed in me, spr
ing none.”
Arising suddenly from her seat,
ihe little wife burst into tears, and
t('.‘owing both arms about her hus
band’s neck, ctied:
“My dear husband, yon have uot a
fault in the world. If you have even
one, my eyes have been "so blind by
my love for you that so long as \vi
have been married I have never onet
observed it. In my eyes yon are per
fect and all that you do seems to me
t..> be done in the best manner and ’
just what should lie done.”
“But, my dear,” sai l the husband,
Ids face reddening and his voice grow
ing husky with emotion, “just think. ;
I have gore and found all manner of
fault with jou. Now, do tell me,
some of my faults; I know I have I
many —ten times as many as you ever
had or ever will have. Let me hear
them.”
“Indeed, husband, it is as I tell
you; you have not a single fault tl a 1
I can see. Whatever you do seems
right in my eyes, and now that I
know what a good-for-nothing, little
wretch I am, 1 shall at once begin the
work of reform and try to make my
self worthy of you.”
“Nonsense, my dear, yon know
sometimes I go away and leave you

without any wood cut; I stay up
town when I ought to be at home; I
spend rny money for drink's and ci
gars when I ought to bring ft Jiome
to you;I—
--“No yon don't,” cried his wife, “you
do nothing Of the kind. 1 like to see
you enjoy yourself; I should be un
happy were y ou to do otLc'rwiso than
just < xactly ns you do."
“God bless yon, little"\vife !” cried
the now thoroughly subjugated hus
band; “from this moment yon have
not a fault in the world ! Indeed
you never had a fauit; I was but joking
—don’t remember n word I said 1”
and kissing away the tears that still
trembled in the little woman’s eyes.
Never again did the husband scru
tinize the tin-ware nor examine the
dishrig—never so much ns mention
one of ihe faults he had enumerated;
but soon after the neighbor, women
were wont to say:
“It is wonderful how neat Mrs.
keeps everything about the house.
Her tinwares are always as bright as a
new dollar, and I do believe she not
only washes, but irons, her dishrags!’’
And the neighbor men were heard to
say : “What a steady fellow M has
got to he, of late; he don’t spend a
dime where he used to spend dollars,
and he can never he kept from home
half an hour when he is not at work.
He seem to worship that wife of his.
The First Wine-
A Grecian legend is ns follows:
“When BnCeus was a hoy he jour
neyed through Hellas to Naxia, and
as the way was very long, he grew
tired and sat down to r st. As he
sat there with his (‘yes upon the
ground lie saw a little plant spring
up between his feet, and was so much
pleased that he determined to take it
with him and plant it in Naxia. He
took it up and carried it with him,
but as the sun was very hot, he feared
it might wither before he reached his
destination. He found a bird’s skel-
I ton into which he thrust it and went
! on. But in his hand the plant
sprouted so fast that it started out of
the bone above and below. This
g ive him a fresh fear of‘its wither
ing, and he cast about for its remedy.
He found a lion’s bene, which was
t.ii k< r than the skeleton, and he
stuck the skeleton with ihe plant
in it, into the lion’s hone. Ere
long, however, the plant grew out of
the lion’s bone likewise. Then he
found the bone of an ass, larger still
than that of the lion. So he put the
iion’s bone containing the birds skel
eton am! tin plant, into the ass' bone,
and thus he made his way to Naxia.
When about to set the plant, ha found
that the mots had e ,twined themselves
ironri'l the birds skeleton and the li
on’s b ’lie and the ass’ bone, and as ho
could not take it out without damag
ing the roots, he planted it ns it was,
and it came up speedily and v bore to
Ida great j >y, the most delicious
grapes, from which-lie made the first
wine, and gave to men to drink. But
In hoi Ia miracle! When men drank
of it they fir-t sang like birds;' next,
ifbr drinking a little more, they be
canm vigorous and gallant like lions;
but when the drank more still they
began to behave like asses.
Ho stood in Charlestown Square
and gazed at the lines of lamps
ihat mark the excavations ;until his
brain reeled, and he confidentially
murmured to a passing policeman:
Geevus, d’ye think this second-rate
torchlight will move to-night? Y’ou’re
a slow lot, ere, anyhow.”
An Indiana man bet S2O that
he could ride t lie fly-wheel of a saw
mill, and as his widow paid the bet,
she remarked: “William was a kind
husband, but he didn’t know much
about fly -wliee s.”
jfeay Editors on the Washington
Chronicle are annoyed bv the people
who invade the office under the im
pression that it is a lunatic asylum.
They are all careful readers of the pa

Don’t be ashamed of your
'plain clothes voting man, provided
you have earned them. They tire far
more beautiful in the estimation of all
honest, men and women than all the
costly gewgaws sported by some peo
' pie at 11 1 e expense of the confiding
tailor, or obliging merchant. Even
pat-lied c lothes are more honorable
j if they are the best your earnings, will
permit von to wear. The people who
will respect yon only when you are
well clad will he the first to run away
' from yon in the* hour of adversity.
