The JU'sl tlifo in the World

I ‘Thebest little wife iu the world!’ saal
I Herbert Ainscmirt.
‘Of course—l dare sr.%respond- and Hi
i Portecross. ‘Hut what’s your exact Idea
us the best wife in tbe '.vot'd ? Jones
; says he’s got the best vvifo in the world,
because she keeps his stockings darned,
j takes him io church three times of a Sun
day and never lets him have an idea ol
his own. Jenkins says lie's got th;
same identical article, but Jenkins’ wile
keeps all the money, draws his ealnrv
for him and makes him live in the back
kitchen because the parlor is too good
for the family to use.’
•Oh! but Daisy Isn’t a 1 it ogreish—a
little submissive, soft voiccSt tiding that
hasn't an idea except ♦diftt nrfiected
from me. I tell you w'u,e.*ohl fqjfiiw I’m
the master es my own house; 1 come
| when 1 please aikl go when I please.—
j Daisy never ventures dll iy word of re
j proaeli.’
'Then yni ought to be ashamed of your
self larking around at the clubs as you
do, dissipat. and bachelor fashion.’
‘Ashamed ! what ol?’
‘Why, 1 suppose you owe r mo dulie: l
!uy ur wife?’
‘Where’s the harm? My wife doesn’t!
care.’
■‘Probably you think so because she is
(jnict and submissive; bnt if she were to
object— 1
‘Object! I’d like to hear her try it.’
‘Now look here Ainscourt your wife
may be a model wife, but you certainly
are not a model husband. People aro
beginning to talk about the way you
neglect "that pretty blue eyed girl.’
‘i’ll thank people to mind their own
business. Neglect her, indeed! Why
man 1 love her as I love my own soul.’
‘Then why don’t you treat her as if
you did?’
•Oh, come, Portcross, that question
just shows what a regular old bachelor
you are. Tt won’t do to make too much
of your wife, unless you want to spoil
her.'
Mr. Portcross shook his head.
‘That sounds seltish. I don’t like the
l ing of that metal.’
And he went away, leaving Mr, Ains
court to finish his game of billiards at
leisure.
‘What a rggulay old fuss budget Port
cross is,” laughed the latter. ‘Always
poking his nose into somebody clse’s
business. There’s one comfort—l never
pay any attention to what no nays.'
Meanwhile. Mrs. Ainscourt was sitting
alone in her drawing room, with her two
little white hands tightly io lin one
another, and her fair head slightly droop
ing— a delicate little apple blossom ol a
woman, with bine wistful eyes and curly
llaxen hair looking more like a grown
up child than a wife of twenty one sum
rners. ,
‘O dear!’ sighed Daisy. ‘lt is so dull
hero. 1 wish Herbert would comq home
he never spends any time with me now
a days, and 1 practice all his _favorite
songs and read the newspapers so l ean
talk about the D iitgs lie’s interested, in,
and try s, herd to be entertaining. It’s
■ W -- 1 go.
And then her oval face brightened in
to r i Men brilliance, and the sparkle
so .:l • her < \ca; for the quick ear had
ootecied her footsteps on the stairs. The
r.col moment lie came in.
‘Wed 1 how arc yon?’ with a playful
1.,,'1i ofticr - .k. !‘There arc some
:,1 mf.r you. Where arc my light
*u Hub it! y tt arc not going away a
‘i must, Daisy. There are a lot of fel

I’m one of the party. You can go over
to my mothers for dinner or send lor one
of your friends, or something. a here
goodbye, puss, I’m in a ducc of-.n hurry.’
And with one quivering kiss ;n.;... . .
on the quivering damask rose or .«i.muth
that was lifted up to him lie was gone.
Daisy Ainscourt neither went to her
mother-indaw, nor stmt for one of her girl
friends. She spent the evening ail _a
lone,-pondering on the shadow which
was fast overgrowing bet life.
‘What shall I do?’ thought the little
timid sbriidiiiig wife- ‘Oh, what stall 1
do;’
Rut, child as she was, Daisy had a
..Tong resolute woman’s heart wiihin
he:-, nor was she long in coming to a de
cision.
| ‘Daisy,’ said her husband to her the
a T day, ‘you haven't any objection ; {

pushing bnel* his hair, ‘Adair isn’t exact

‘But yon go everywhere with him!’
T dare say—bnt you and 1 are two
different persons.’
‘Now, dear Herbert,’ interposed Daisy
wilfully misunderstanding him, ‘you
know j never was abit proud and the
associates that are good enough for my
husband arc good enough for me.--
Let me give you a few more oysters.’
Ainsconrt looked sharply at hi.; \v if:.
Was she really in earnest or was then'
a mocking undercurrent of satire in her
tone? But he could not decide h i artless
was her countenance.
I’ll talk to her about it sometime, was
his internal-decision.
‘Daisy” lie said carelessly. when dinner
was over, ‘l’ve asked - Id Mrs. Barberry
to como and spend the day with you to

‘Oh, have you?’ I’m sorry so% 1 am

‘Yon! Where?’
‘Oil, at Deln'.onico’s. I’ve joined a
Woman’s Rights Club, and we meet tliere

‘The ducc taka woman’s rights!’ ejneu
latcd the irate husband.
‘Of course I don’t believe in them but
its the fashion to belong to a club, and
such a nice place to go to evenings. 1
am dull here evenings Herbert.’
Herbert’s heart smote him, but he an -
swered resolutely:
T beg you will give up this ridiculous
idea. What do women want of clubs ?’
‘What do men, I suppose V
‘But I don’t approve of it all.’
‘Yon belong to three clubs Herbert.’
‘That’s altogether a different matter.’
‘But why is il different?’
‘Hem—\vhy?'b; cause— of course any
body can see why-—it’s self-evident.’
‘I must lie very blind/ s iid Mrs. Aim;-

Herbert Ainscourt said no mote, luit |
lie did not at all relish the c’mngc that j

The I’vospectiv e Cotton fvopySy ami
Prices.
The United States Economist of the
10(it innt., says :
The- fact is, tl o supply of cotton at
the present time is inadequate, and the
usual result ol limited supplies is seen in
Die advam -of prices. The depression
muM, (here!! i \ continue until the con
sinners of c.dtnn n: ■ c.mipidled to yield
to the necessities of manufacturers. The
indicati uis now are that the latter con
tingency is the more pmbabl The sup
,p!y of c-ittoM this year is not likely to
•exceed last yt ar's average, while it may
fall hi 1 i-. It is as yet tco soon ti>

it may he expected to be. fully up to last
year's supply But the < .cess can hard
ly be - expeeled to reach 100,0(10 hales.—
At present the crop looks well, with no
more than the usual reports of disasters
at this period of the ya ur. July is the
critical month, and a few weeks, more
will place us in a position to make marc
reliable estimates.
The grounds for anxiety in the Eng
lish cotton trade consists in the proba
bility of only a very slight increase in
the supply ol American cotton, and tbe
certainty of diminished supplies from
other sources. Notwithstanding' all the
efforts of English .capitalists, for the last
eight years, hacked by the powerful aid
of the government, to encourage the
growth ol cotton in India, Egypt and
other places, the crop this year will fall
below the proceeds last year. This re
salt paraliy.es the trade, and accounts for
its depression. On the 25th of June tlie
stock of all kinds on hand in Liverpool
was 388,480 bales, against a stock of
<101,330 in the corresponding period last
year. 1 lore wo have a reduction of no

i males Jehu was also the proprietor ol
j two bottles of old Bourbon—a contra
; band in cifrap- which a wag discnmijjd
and resolved to possess.
| A wave that the driver’s presence was
an impediment to the theft, he hit upon
ilie follow ing plan to get rid of him ;
. Approaching the drivor, who was Ims
ily engaged in carrying his mules, he
i accosted him w{th —
“J say, old*fellow, what are you doing
there ?”
“Can’t you see?” replied John gruffly.
“Certainly,” responded the wag, “lull
that is not your business. It is after
tattoo, and there is a fellow hired by the
(lencral who envies all the mules and
horses brought in after tattoo.”
The mule driver bit at once, and want
ed to know where the hair dresser kept
hin .self. Whereupon lie was directed to
Oi'n. Kelson’s tent with the assurance
licit there was where the fell ;v “hung
uni.”
“Vo;; cin’t mistake the man,” said tin
wag, “lit; is a largo fellow, and puls on a

where Gen. Nelson sat in deep reverie
probably ennsidefirig ho most expedi
tions method of expelling Con. Buckner
from his native State, slapped him on
tlie back with sufficient force to annihi
late a man of ordinary sine.
Springing to his feet., the General ac
costed his uninvited guest with :
“Well, sir, who are you, and:what the
devil do you want ?”
"Old boss, I’ve gqt a job for you now
—six mules to be curried, and right off

General.
"Do you know whom you are address

“Vi e,” said Jehu, elevating his voice
to a pitch which rendered tho words an j

"Von infernal villain !-” exclaimed the
General, now perlectly furious, “1 am

Jehu placed flu; thumb of his right

produce lof a family, and eotnptiro it

large farms, they should need no better
inducement, to enrich their soil highly.
