How strange it will bo, love—-how strange when we two Shall be what all lovers become ? You rigid and faithless. I cold and untrue ; You thoughtless of me, and I careless of yon ; Our pot names grown rusty with nothing to do ; Love’s bright web unravelled, and rent and worn through, And life’s loom left empty - ah, hum l Ah, me, How strange it will be ! How strange it will be’whenjtho witchery goes Which makes me seem lovely to-day ; When your thought of me loses its coleurde rose; When every day serves some new fault to li - do. Ana wonder you could for a moment suppose— When you find I’vo cold eyes and an every-day nose— -1 was out of the -mmou-place way; Ah, me ! How strange it will be !; How strange it will be, love—how strange when we meet With just a still touch of the hand; When my pulses no longer delightfully beat At the thought of your coming, the sound of your feet: When I watch not your coming far down the long street, When your dOt ir loving voice, too, so thrillingly sweet, Grows harsh in reproach or command ; Ah, me ! llow strange it will be ! How strange it will be when we willingly stay Divided the weary day through ; Or getting remotely apart, as we may, Sit chilly and silent, with nothing to say ; ()r coolly converse on the news of the day, In a wearisome, old married-folk sort of way ? I shrink from the picture—don’t you? Ah, me ! How strange it will be ! Dear love, if our hearts do grow torpid and cold, As so many others have done ; If we let our love perish with hunger and cold; If we dim all life’s diamonds and tarnish its gold. If we choose to live wretched and die uncon soled, Twill be strangest of all things that ever was told As happening under the sun! Ah, me! How strange it will be ! Lucli of EuowJcdge of Hintse- One of Ibc most of the prolific sources of matrimonial difficulties is tho lack of knowledge, on Urn part of wives, of the duties of housekeeping'. In these days, there ore a hundred y mug ladies who can thrum a piano, to one who can make a good loaf of bread. Yet a hungry husband lias so much of the animal in his nature that lie cares more for a good dinner than he does—so long as his appetite is un appeased—Heavy bread has made many heavy hearts, rise to dys pepsia horrid dyspepsia—and its herd of accompanying torments. Girls who desire that their husbands should be amiable and kind, should learn how to make light bread. When a young man is courting, lie can well live at home ; or, if he had to go to a dis tance to pay his addresses, he usually’ obtains good meals at a hotel or eat ing-house ; but when he is married and gets to housekeeping, his wife as sumes the functions of his mother or his landlord, and it is fortunate for her if she has been educated so as to know what a good table is. Those who are entirely dependent upon hired copks make a sorry show at house keeping. The stomach performs a very important part in the economy of hu manity, and wives who are forgetful of this fact commit a serious mistake. Even the lion may be tamed by keep ing him well fed. A woman appeared at the shop where her husband is employed and apologetically said : “Jim is not well. You must excuse him from coming to work to-day. lie and I had a little difficulty at the breakfast table this morning, and he won’t be able to work this week.” ‘Building castles in Spain, Mr. S?’ said tho landlady to Spicer, who was thoughtfully regarding his breakfast cup ‘'No ma’am,’ said Spicer, ‘only looking over* my grounds in Java. ‘Do iry and talk a little common sense!’ exclaimed a sarcastic young lady visitor. ‘Oh!’ was the reply but would'nt that be taktng an "unfair ad vantage of you?’ An lowa wife, who lately came in 1 obsession of SSOO, just stepped out and procured a divorce while the po tatoes were boiling. Anew cause of divorce —incompati- bility of temperament of the wife’s relatives is recognized by the Califor; nia courts. Eij iiiAN, DODGE COUNTY, GA, TiIIKSDAY, JAN. 22, 1874. Unhappy Marriages. The Montpelier “Freeman” has a few words of advice to those who have wedded for life with some mental re servation, the result of which is “un happy marriages” It admits that there are some pairs having nothing in common, so that not even the grace of God can make them happy togeth er. But, as a general thing, a right spirit makes happy homes. Neither party should ever expect to bring the other to an ideal standard. If parties would love, they can always find enough to Mite. When parties are married, they need to become one in " If tie; husband is intent on professional suc-secs, and the v, Ye sees her ideal existence “in society ;” if one is absorbed in accumulating wealth, and the other cares only to “enjoy life;” if one is a missionary and the other *a miser in spirit and plan of life, it is plain to any observer that discord, -if not divorce, will be obtained, unless ther o boa coming to gether in respect to the object and work of life. In the earlier years of a mechanic’s, merchant’s or profession al man’s career, his wife must endure self-denial and hardship if she would see him a successful man. Finally, marriage is just about what parties make it. Camphor as a Medicine. The “Scientific American” lectures those people who make a frequent use of camphor as a medicine. It says : The physiological action of camphor is not yet understood ; but, judging by the symptoms that follow the tak ing of a moderate dose, it may 7 be called a nervous stimulant. It is somewhat like opium and alcahol therefore, in its action, when taken in irritation large doses, it causes exces sive to the nervous system, producing convulsions and death Camphor acts to irritato aod r.ml I'nnf’y to inflame the mucous lining of the stom ach, causing in the milder cases a form of dyspepsia, and in the more aggra vated, ulceration of the stomach.— From these two actions—namely, that of the nervous stimulant and local irritation—come all tho g’ood and evil of its use. We can, therefore, readily see how unsuited this drug is to be a Ito usehold reined v. Changes of Century.— The nine teenth century has witnessed many and great discoveries. In 1809 Fulton took out the first invention of the steamboat. The first steamboats which made regular trips across the Atlantic ocean were the Sirius and the Great Western in IS3O. The first public application to prac tical use of gas for illumination was made in 1802 In 1813 the streets of Loudon were lighted for the first time with gas. In 1813, there was built in Walt ham, Mass., a mill believed to have been the first in the world, which combined all the requirements of making finished cloth from raw cotton. In 1190 there were only 25 post offices in the whole country, and up to 1837 the rates of postage were 25 cents for a letter sent over 400 miles. In 1837 wooden clocks commenced to be made by machinery. This ushered in the era of cheap clocks About the year 1833 the first rail road of any considerable length in the United States was constructed. In 1840 the first experiments in photography were made by Daguerre. About 1840 the first express busi ness was established. The anthracite coal business may be said to have begun in 1820. In 1830, the first patent for the in vention of matches was granted. In 1845 the first telegram was sent. Steel pens were introduced for use in 1803. Tho first successful reaping took place in 1833. In 184 G Elias Howe obtained a patent for bis first sewing machine. The first successful method of vul [canized India rubber was patented ‘ in 1839. \ fiplmry Man in Trouble tlie Meek’s IVashiug. W| a frightful sensation that is when y*i have just got home of a cold Mond..Vnight and pulled; your boots off, top told that the week’s washing is outlm the line and must be brought in. T'.' to do this of a dewey eve in thef unmer, with the delicate per fume il flowers filling the air, and a brass ’* ’ and on the next street, is not exacWfj hardship ; but to do it in the dtii of winter, with a chilling breeze flowing, and the clothes as stiff atrMrolling-pin, is something no man J|fontcmplate without quaking. l\ C flßr quite understand how it is that. rqfui invariably gets his boots off be;op the dread summons comes, but the'i'st of it is plain enough.— There isia sort of rebellious Tooling in his heart which prompts him to try to entangle his wife in an argument, and failing in this ho snatches up the bas ket, and |oes out into the yard with it, rapping it against the chairs and knockingjit against the sides of the door with as much vigor as if it was not purely accidental. If the fend wife is aijyway attentive she can hear his well-known voice consigning vari ous objocG to eternal suffering, long after lic Iwis disappeared. There k no levity in a line of frozen clothes. Every article is as frigid as the Cardiff giant, and the man who wrenches the pin off and then holds the basket in expectation of seeing the piece drop off the line of its own ac cord, is too pure and simple for this world. But our man isn’t of that na ture. lie catches hold of the garment with his chilled hands, and seeks to pull it off, but it doesn’t come. Then he yanks it upwards and then down wards and then sideways ; and when it comes off it maintains the same shape it has been all the afternoon ii* >vl;!<jJ p.i.-t a*? readily to enter the basket as to be shoved through the keyhole of a va 1 isc; The first articles lie doubles up with his hands, and there is a faint semblance of carefulness in packing them away ; but after that he smashes them into tho basket without any cer emony, and cropvds them down with his foot He uses the same care in taking down a fine cambric handker chief that he does In capturing a sheet, and makes two handkerchiefs of every one. When he gets far from the bas ket he allows the articles to multiply in his arms, so as to save steps, and when he gets his arms full of the awk ward and miserable things, whose sharp, icy corners jab him in the neck and face, he comes to an article that refuses to give way on one end. He pulls and shakes desperately at it, howling and screaming in his rage, un til he inadvertently steps on the drag ging end of a sheet, and then he comes down flat on the frozen snow. But bounds up again grating his teeth, and hastily deposits the bundle in the bas ket, darts back to the refractory mem ber, and taking hold of it, fiercely tugs at it, while he fairly jumps up and down in the extremity of his anger and cold. Then it comes unexpected ly, and with a part of the next article, and he goes over again—this time on his back and with violence. With the clothes gathered, he takes the basket up in his livid hands, thus bringing the top articles against his already frozen chin, and thus tortured, propels his lifeless limbs into the house. She stands ready to tell him to close the door, and is thoughtful enough to ask him if it’s cold work. But if lie is a wise man he will make no answer. If lie is a wise man he will silently plant himself in front of the stove, and fram ing his frozen ieatures into an impla cable frown will preserve that exterior without the faintest modification until bedti me.— l)anbury News. A Shcrboygan man said : “Lucy Smith, I can’t fool away my time courting ; will you marry me ?” And, although Lucy had known him but two hours, she put her little hand in his and said she would. A Detroit woman sues for a divorce because her husband insists upon sleeping with his teet on the pillow so that he could tickle her feet when she snores. A Strange Story About an Owl. — Our old friend James Case, tells the following strange owl story; It seems that Mr James W arner, resid ing near Mr C’s. has been doing a considerable amount of trapping for the last few months. While set ting his traps some time ago, he con cluded that he woud bait for a large bird which he believed had been both ering his chicken roost of late days, lie accordingly did so, and upon the morning after, upon going to visit his traps, was much surprised at finding one of them gone —bait and trap both gone, and no owl; but the sequel is to come. The other morning, Mrs. Rogers, who lives some ten miles away from Mr. Warner’s, hearing some disturbance in the licn-housc among the chickens, arose quickly, and taking a light went out to sec what was the matter with them, think ing it was probably a fox. By mak ing a careful and sudden effort she succeeded in catching the object, and to her great surprise found it was a huge owl. But the strange part is to come. Attached to the owl was Mr. Warner’s trap and about ten inches of chain. It seems that two teeth were broken out of the steel trap just where the teeth was broken out the jaws of the trap had firmly held the leg of the bird, cutting all around quite to the bone, but without injuring the latter. The leg, however, by this time was recovered and well, the wound having had ample time to euro during the two months that had passed since the owl first flew away with the trap. What wonder ful tenacity of life exhibited by tho bird! what torture must have torn the poor owl as he passed along his way, dragging the terrible trap and chain. —Bath County (Ky) News, S Hn/rc That Does Not Wore Both Ways. —The House Committee on Education and Labor.has hardly done the fair thing by tlie starving poor o the South. The majority of that com mitttoe has always been ready to vote for interference to any extent in Southern affairs for military domi nation at the South, and the like; but when it is asked to do so small a fa vor as to recommend the issuing of army rations to the starving women of Louisiana and Alabama, this com mittee makes the discovery that ‘it is not the proper sphere of Congress to enter on a general system of providing for pauperism in the State/ Wc agree with the committee in its con clusions that a “general system” of such relief is sometimes beyond the pale of Congressional duty; but since Congress has taken up so large a part of its sessions of late years in regulating Southern affairs, w r e can not see that it would be doing any violence to its own innumerable pre cedents if it should sanction the issue of army rations to those who are suffering for want of bread, It is certainly not a very gracious act in Congress to plead ‘no authority as an excuse for not feeding starving Southerners, when it lias assumed a plentitude of authority for meddling in all other details of Southern life. Since Congress through the Com mittee on Education and Labor de cides that the rule which works one way cannot under any circumstances be permitted to work another, the suffering Soutli has but the remedy of appealing to the sympathy and generosity of other parts of the coun try—and we are confident that it will not appeal in vain. A concise statement of the actual sufferings, for lack of bread, of any part of the Southern population, if prepared by c nnpetent, trustworthy, well-known person, would elicit help promptly from those who have to give in this city and State.— N. T. Journal of Commerce. “Good morning, gentlemen,” gaid a book-peddler, entering a railroad car. No one responded, “Beg pardon, if I have said too much. I withdraw the last word,” That was a very mean thing of a man in Chicago, who borrowed S2OO from his wife and used the money in obtaining a divorce. )lotvs tilng It. A few evenings since a New Turk chap was sparking a TVhiware girl who wore an Elizabeth ruff. Expeol ing his coming, she dressed for the 'oc casion stiff as an nnrestr cted mse\>f satin gloss starch could nfake it. U was of the most stunning character. The lover came at the orthodox time and was nrshered into the pdrlor, where the enchanting maiden and her father and mother were seated, fie was cordially received, and tho eve ning- passed pleasantly, although tho old folks sat up a good deal longer than the youngsters thought was nec essary. Finally they went to bed and the twain was left alone. After a cer tain amount of preliminary bashful ness, the maiden assented to her loy er’s request for a kiss. He essayed to take it, but was met at every point with a bristling wall of tarlatan and starch. He came her In front and was gouged in each eye. He sid ed up to her, and the right-hand prong cut one of his ears half off. He at tempted to reach -the prize over her shoulder, and the chevieux de frise of lace tickled Ins nose till he waNjpblttr cd to take a sneeze. Then the maiden came to the rescue, and Judd jlown one side of the provoking ruff, and again he lover advanced. Just as lie had all but reached her blooming cheek the damsel lost her grip, and the razor-like decoration flew up with a force that took an under bit out of the fight car. Then he got mad. Then she got mad. Then they both got mad, and an antic ipated wedding* litis come to a prema ture end.
