The l)f ins Mother-
W> were weeping round her pillow,
For we knew that she must die;
It was night within our bosoms
It was night upon tbU Sftjr.
Thera was seven of us children,
1 the oldest one of ail ;
.So I tried to whisper comfort,
But the blinding tears would fall.
On my knees ray little broihef
Leaned his aching brow aiul wept,
And my sister’s long black tresses
O’er my heaving bosom swepti
The shadows of an awful fear
Came o’er mo as I trod,
To lay the burden’s of our grit's
Bt sorts the throne of God,
“Oh be kind to one another"
Was tbe mother's pleading prayer,
As her hand luyjike a snow tluke.’
On the baby's golden hair,
a glory round her forehead,
Likd the glory of a crown,
And in the silent sea ol death
The star of life went down.
Her latest breath was borne uwity
Fpon that loving prayer;
And the hand grew heavier—paler,
In the baby’s golden hair.
HUSBANDS AT HOME.
Hacy Sketch for Tea Table Reading!
Tho Louisville Courier lias a charming
CJircspoudout, “Miss Patty Sprangie,”
wild writes thus pleasantly of Strangle’s
conduct before and after marriage :
SPHANUI.E AS A LOVKIt.
I first met Spiangle at a country fair.
We were introduced to each otlicr ahunl
ten o’clock in the morning, and, if you
will believe me, I did no! get a chance at
any other gentleman that day. I never
saw a fellow so struck at first sight. 1
don’t think lie saw a horse or anything
else that was on exhibition that day, but
me, although there wero Present many of
tiie most accomplished young ladies of
that section of the country. As ho was
extremely good looking, of good family,
and unexceptionable Habits and charac
ter, I, of course, felt flattered by his
marked preference. I had to take him
to dinner, and introduce him to pa and
iria, and the whole family, lie made a
very good impression. In fact, Sprangie
can shine when he tries. I remember tho
fact with pride. Well, it is llie old sto
ry. Ho became infatuated to visit me
and spend a day there in just two weeks
from the day we met. During tho fwi
weeks I received daily long letters from
Simon, closely written and cross-writ
lon. (I wish ) had kept them.) At
length the day of his visit arrived; and
lo and behold ! the servant girl awoke
me in the morning with tile pleasant in
formation that Spfungle was waiting for
me in the parlor. Here was a lover ba
you 1
MARRIAGE AND HONEYMOON.
Well, well ! As 1 said before, it Was
tho old story, ever recurring, ever lov
ing, ever sweetly told and ever listened
to by willing ears. Suffice it lo say, that
from that day I saw no peace until I be
came Mr*. Sprangie. Our honeymoon
w*«, I suppose, liko all honeymoons,
slioft and delicious.
THE REALITIES OP I.IYK.
And then ca-uo tho realities of lifo, It I*
my belief that it is the most trying po
ll od of woman’s life. However kind and
attentive her husband may be, a young
wife, when she enters upon the actuali
ties of life, lias disclosed to her a state
of affairs of which she had little or no
conception before marriage. When she
leaves an atmosphere of romance and
adulation, and enters upon the realities
of life, it is like stepping out of a garden
of summer flowers into tho regions ul
perpetual winter, and miles* she brings
all her good sense and philosophy to her
aid, tier affections will become chilled,
and she will regard herself a disappoint
ed, if not a deceived woman, for tbe bal
anc iof her life. It is the hope that my
experience may be of benefit to young
wives tliat induces me to reveal sume of
the domestic incidents and infelicities oi
twelve years of married life-
After our brief holiday, Sprangie—to
use his own expressions—took a tiit at
tiie world, determined to wrest from it
not only a competence, but a fortune that
would place me in the most bewtific alti
tude to be obtained by opulence.
The dear fellow did work bard, and il
he met with obstacles, and difficulties,
and trials, the world never knew it.- He
reserved them for his fireside, and al
though he did not accuse me as the
cause, yet he recounted them in a tone
and manner so different from the joyous
and buoyant language of courtship, that
I could but feel I was accountable for his
troubles. Although |I never seriously i
doubted his love for me* yet he certainl |
permitted many excellent opportunities I
for manifesting it to pass unimproved.
Before we were married lie seemed to
have a perfect mania for holding my
hand, and I used 6) wonder if he would
ever give me an opportunity to do any
needle work after marriage, when oppor
| tunitics for indulging in that delicious
, ■iuslime were abundant, :t seemed to have
lost its charm. Poor, foolish me 1 I was
often aggrieved at his apparent Coolness,
and Would ask Him twenty times a (lily
if lie did not love me. 'Why, cortanly I
do; my dear littli' puss; 1 thought you
knew itij’ Yes, lie thought I knew it. —
Perhaps I did. I also knew that we .had
plenty of flour and bacon in Hie pantry,
blit that knowledge did nttt satisfy my
hunger.
tAk honbtmoon in a partial eclipse.
It is true tliat this affection manifested
iiself sporadically with all the warmth
and affection of the old day*; but these
ebullitions were the exceptions. The rule
was, ‘1 thought yon knew it.’ Yes, girls,
when you get husbands they will expect
yotl to know it, and my advice to you
is, tliat you get all the courting you want
before you are married, for after tliat
event what little courting is done in the
family will have to he done by tiie wife
St'RANULE as a father.
Wo ItaVc six children, ail beautiful and
gojil. Sprangie takes great pride in
them, loves them, and growls at them
like a dear old bear. You must not
think tliat lie regards tiie ‘new comers’
as burdens, lie goes intoecstaoics over
each one of them; dilates upon its beau
ties and perfections for live minutes; and
then seems to think it ought to bo laid
away to grow up, and bo no Imiliur
trouble to him until they want to marry.
If one of them lias tiie And cries
at night, Sprangie thinks tiie pain is a
special hards ip to him, because it keeps
him awake a few minutesi Tiie (act is
undeniable, tliat tiie best men are sellisli
brutes, as far as babies are concerned,
SPR A NODE AT HOME.
I will say, though, that of all the cliil
(Iron I have, Sprangie is the biggest ba
by. ’Tis true Ini was through with most
oi tiie ailments I have enumerated belore
i got him, lint in a thousand oilier res
poets lie still is, and will always remain,
in that chronic stale of babyhood which
ever attends, over-indulged and spoiled
husband*. When we Were not tuarried,
my old baby would almost break his
neck to pick up my fan; ami lie would
kill a fly in a minute if tiie fly manifested
a disposition to alight on my nose.
Now I have alniust to literally dress
him in the morning. I have to get his
hoots together, one of which lie gen ral
iy kicks under llie bureau, tiie other un
der the bed. If Tgo to bed first, in tiie
morning I find Ins clsthcs scattered over
tiie room as only a man can scatter
clothes. lie would never put on a clean
shirt, if it were not spread out on a chair
before him. His sleeve button* are ta
ken out and never put in at all. Ido not
believe lie lias combed his head since we
were married. He can’t even wash his
fuce properly without being told, like any
other child. If I did not wash him, his
ears and tiie back of his neck would be a
sight to behold.
BPRASni.E ON A SICK HE tli
Albeit he Ims not patience for others
who have pains and aches, yet you ought
to see him when anything is the lim.tci
with him. He tears, and groans, and
grunts over a Blight attack of colic in a
manner to keep every one awake in tiie
house. At such times lie al ways believes
in is going to die, and will not suffer me
to leave him for a moment.
Yet with all iiis faults, I—-well, you
know the ((notation. I believe lie is the
best man living, and I would not give
him for a ten-acre lot full of men like the
scapegrace of a husband which your fool
ish, credulous correspondent ‘Dolly Basil,’
is so silly about.
A country pedagogue had two pupils,
to one of whom ho was very partial,
and to the other very severe. One morn
ing it happened that these two were’lato
and were called to account for it. ‘Yon
must have heard the bell, boys; why did
you not come V ‘i’leasc, Sir,’ said tiie
favorite, ‘I was dreamiu’ tliat 1 was go
in’ to Californy, and I thought the school
bell was the steamboat-bell as I was go
in’ in,’ ‘Very well, sir,’ said the master,
glad of any pretext to excuse his favor
ite; ‘and now, sir, (turning to the oilier,)
wiiat have you to say V ‘l’lease, sir,
please, sir,’ said the puzzled boy—‘i ! I !
wuh waitin’ to see Tom off !’ It was tiie
same boy who, being asked tho next day
if his father was a Christian, answered,
‘No, sir, lie’s a Dutchman.’
I’raver. —Prayer is die rustling of the

V .iraloiiH lltishuii<l and liis Hoofs.
One of the little episodes in life ob ur
reu it short time since, that hliouUl ho a
lesson to all jealous hti.shamls. There is
a family living in one of* the best located
liontcs in South Memphis whose worldly
means are above tlie fear of want. The
wife is one of those generous he fir ted
women *Mio loves her husband with all
the devotion of a true heart, but heritage
lord is vino of those mixtures on the brute
with an occasional good trait, lie, how
ever luvss bis better half but allows bis
love to be lost iti jealousy. The lady
j has been in the habit of meeting his i< r tl !
snip at the door each evening with a
welcome kiss. It so happened that for
a month the green-eyed monster had in
terrupted their domestic bliss, although
the faithful wife never missed meeting
her husband at the door with the usftal
greeting of a kiss. One evening, how
ever, the brute went home later thua
usual-----something near 10 o’clock, and
the wife had retired. Not meeting hei
at the door, his jealousy rose to the fight
ing point, anil he instantly went to the
back door, expecting to find a mare’s
nest and sure enough lie did.
The first tiling be saw, after entering
the house was u pair Os boots! “1 bavv
him !” thought lie. He next locked the
boots in a closet, and, obtaining a light
he entered his sleeping apartment; but
found only his wife. He next searched
the house Irom top to bottom, but no
Don Juan could be seen. Wc need not
say that the night whs | assed most un
pleasantly to both husband and wife.
The brute boxVcter, total his better ball
that ho had her lover’s boots and though
them he would yet know the scouu Irel.
Divorce was talked of; and the protesta
tion that who was innocent only hr night
the reply of “Hoots !” Sho cried, “I am
not guilty 1” and he vici fora ted “I 0 ts. v
Morning at length came rtnd the enraged
husband went for the shoe-leather—lie
brought them up stairs shaking them in
his wife’s face—when oil a fc)os6 exam in
ation they proved to bo his own boots !
Tho wife like a sensible woman, forgave
him; and now she has only to say ‘boots'
to make her husband plead for mercy.
The Way to Check Them. —ln an ar
ticle reviewing tiie deplorable political
and financial condition of the country,
the New York Herald concludes as fol
lows :
Under such a fearful slate of tilings
the national finances must remain disor
ganized, taxation oppressive and the
public credit shaken. Hunincss of all
kinds must feel the paralyzing effect.
Capital will take ab r.n and enterprise
will cease. In fact the prospect before
us is truly alarming If fbr Radical party
in [power continue their destructive
course and the people do not rise up as
one man in.their might to check this
tide ol Jacobinism. Unhappily/ these
Radicals will be in power for some time
to come, as they boast of being, to defy
public opinion and they may do a vast
deal of evil before another general elec
tion takes place. To bold them in check
then, tho people every wlieie should rise
and denounce their conduct. In all the
cities and towns—yes even in every lit
tle villagojtlicro should be public meet
ings for tlii* purpoiio. The country is
in a terrible crisis, and the universal
voice of the nation should be raised to
save the const itufieft and government
from the sacrilegious bands that now
threaten to destroy both.
A Good Chance.— A negro in t o Ar
kansas Comention said the other day,
“give us the chance of eighteen Imndi and
years like the white man, and we wili
show wliat we cun do/’
Upon which the Louisville Journal
observes >
Rut the negroes have bad the chance
not only of eighteen hundred years, but
all the years since Noah’s flood. They
have bad that ehai.ee in their own coun
try whereJGod planted than. In Africa
they have been unmolested by the white
race, except so far as a few of tie
tribes upon the coast have been able,
after taking prisoners from each other,
to find a market for them with whit
traders instead of putting them to death
Let that vaunting Aikansas negro point

hundred years, but in a great many ad

ted a more respectful salutation, said, in
stately tones, intending to check any
further attempt at familiarity.
“I am a scivant of the Lord, cornu to
speak with you on the concerns of yoi t

“Then yuMl be humble, like yom Mais ?

at a public dinner in Memphis r
