Distilled Whiskies,

Th^rr are some episodes in the life
of a soldier provoealiye of laughlter,
and that serve to disperse, in some
mrasute, the the ennui ofeamp life, A
farmer, who did not resid ■ so far from
a camp of the ‘boys’as he wished he
did, was accustomed to find every morn
ing that several rows of potatoes had
disappeared from the field. He bore
it some lime, but when the last half of
bis fie'd of fine ‘kidneys’ began to dis
appear, lie began to think that sort of
thing Lad gone rar enough, And deter
mined to stop it. Accordingly be
made a visit to camp arly next morn
ing, and amused himself by going
round to see whether the soldiers were
provided with gen d and wholesome
j revisions. Fie had npt proceeded far
when he found a ‘boy’ just set vjng up
a fine djsh of ‘Sidneys,’ which looked
marvelously like those that the good
wife brought to his own table. Halt
ing, the following eoll -quy ensued:
‘Have fine potatoes here, I see.’
‘Splendid]’ was the reply.
‘Wheredo \ou get them?’
‘Draw them.’
‘Does govi rnroent furnish potatoes
in your rations?’
‘Nary potato.’
‘1 thought you said you drew them
'Did! We just do that tb : ng!’
•‘But how, if they are notancluded in
your rations?’
‘Easiest thing in the world! Won’t
you take some with us?’ said the soldier,
as be seated himself at the table op
posite the sri pk ng vegetables.
‘Thank you. But tyiil yoq oblige
me by telling hojy you draw your po
tatoes, as tbey are pot found by the
commissary ?’
‘Nothing easier. Draw ’em hy the
tops mostly! Sometimes by a hoe, if
one lefi in the Jield.’
‘Hpmj Yesj I understand! Well,
see here, if you won’t draw any more
of mine, I will bring you a basket

PROMPTLY and NEATLY EXECUTED
AT THIS OFflck
On Failures.—Twenty years ago
the severest disaster that could befall a
businessman, excepting, of.course.Se
rious physical injury or family bereave
ment, was “failure.” To have it whis
pered on the street or published in the
papers that “So and So” has failed,
was an affliction for which there was no
effectual consolation.;
In these modern days, however, fail
ure is merely and incident of Business
life which agreeably relieves its monot
ony. Formerly failure revolutionized
a man’s mode of life, transferred him
from an expensive house to an Rumble
one, dismissed his servants, sold his
horses, mouexited his personal expendi
tures for dress and recreation, and maae
him seem what he was==a pogy paan.
Now, if any change at all is effected
by failure, it is generally a change for
the Lfpttpr ; the less money he has, orj
dinarily, the more extravagantly he
lives.
There is not one of our readers, pro
bably, who does not make or hear the
remark almost daily, “where does such
an one get his money,—he failed oftly
a few months ago ?” These social mys
teries are multiplying constantly, and
the number of men who liye in luxury,
hold high positions of society, and fair
ly glitter with the favors of fortune,
having no visible source of revenue, is
daily growing larger* ft? And hy it
pill be established as a business maxim
that the number of a man’s failures is
cumulative evidence of his sagacity and
ability, and it will be said—not to have
failed argues yourself a failure.—Bos
ton Ccnnmerctul Bulletin
‘Bully for you, old fellow !’ was the
cry, and three cheers and a tiger were
g.ven for the farmer. The coverant
was entered into, and np one but the
owner df^w potatoes from that held
afterward.
Fashionable WoMEN.-Fashion kills
more women than toil and sorrow* Qbe
dience to fashign is a greater trans

a greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution, that the hardships
of poverty and neglect. The slave wo
man at her task will live and grow old,
and see two or thr.e generations pf her
mistresses fade and pass away. The
washerwoman, wifh scarce a ray of
hope to cheer her in her toils, will live
to see her fashionable sisters all extinct.
The kitchen maid is h^rty and strong,
when her lady h&S tp bp pursed like a
sick baby.
It is a sad truth that fashion pam
pered women are almost worthless for
ail the good pnd§ of life 5 they have
but little force of character; they have
§till less power of moral will, and quiet
physjpal energy* They live for no great
purpose in life—they accomplish no
great ends. They are dojis, formed in
the hands of milliners and servants, to
be dressed .and fed to order. They
dress noboefy, they bless nobody, and
save nobody. They write no books,
they set no rich examples of virtue and
woman’s life. If they rear children,
servants and nurses do all, save to con
ceive and give them birth. And when
reared, what are they ? What do they
ever amount to, but weaker scions of
the old stock. Who ever heard of a
fashionable woman’s child exhibiting
any virtue and power of mind, for
which it became eminent ? Read biog
raphies of our great and good men and
women. Not one of them had a fash
ionable mother. They nearly all sprung
from strong minded women, who had
about’as little to do with fashion as
with the changing clouds.

A Stosy- Teller.—A gentleman,
who rather given to storytelling re
lates the following : “When I was a
young man I spent several years at the
South, residing fqr a while at Port Hud
son, on the Mississippi river. A great
deal of litigation was going on there
aboil the time, and it w a $ not an easy
matter to obtain a jury, Qne day I
was summoned to act in that capacity,
and repaired to the court tq get excus
ed. On my name being called, I in
formed his honor, the judge, that I was
not a freeholder, and therefore could
not serve.
“Where do you reside?” the judge
inquired.
“I am stopping for the time being at
Port Hudson.”
‘‘You board at the hotel, I pre
sume ?”
“I take my meals there, but have a
room in another part of the town,
where I lodge.”
“Ho you keep bachelor’s hall ?”
“Yes sir.’’
“How long have you boon living in
that manner f”
“Abput six months,”
“I thumb y°n are qualified,’'’ gravely
replied the Judge, “for I have never
known a man to. keep bachelor’s hail
the length of time you naoae who had
not dirt enough in iris room to make-
him a fi;eeholde^.. The Qqprt doesn’t
qxcuae you,”
Respect Due to Wives.—Do not

feelings. Remember she treasures
every word you utter.
Do nqt speajc of great virtues in
another man’s wife, to remind your
own of a fault.
Do not approach your wife with per
sonal defects, for if she has sensibility
you indict a wound difficult to heal. *

and she will not respect you more, or

encj of a third party ; the sence of
your disregard for her feelings wjlj
prevent her fiom acknowledging her
duilt.

lFife by praising the beauty and ac
complishments of another woman.
If you would have a pleasant home
and a cheerful wife, passyuur evenings
under your own roof
Do no. be stern and silent in your
own bouse, and remarkable for sociar
bility.
Be kiml, tender, affectionate and
faithful to } our marital vows, never
speaking harshly to your wife or
wounding her feelings by inattention*
Her happiness is bound up in a hus-
baud’s love, and it shqqld be as pre
cious to him as bis soul’.- salvation.
Respect Due to Husbands.—Do
not jest with your husband upon a sub
ject in which the:e is danger of wound
ing his feel ings.
Po not speak of the virtues of anoth
er woman’s husband to remind him of
a fault.
Do not reproach your husband with
persons! defects, for if he has sensibiL
ity you may inflict a wound difficult
to heal.
Do not treat your husband with in
difference in company, and show a dis
regard of his ppinions or views. It
will not strengthen his love for yon.
Do not neglect your husband iq the
presence of any one, not even the chil
dren- pesptetfor his position demands
that at the hands of the wife.
Do not attempt to entertain your
husband by praising the character,
ability or energy of another man, as a
reflection upon himself.
If you would have u pleasant home
and kind husband, seek to make him
happy when at home.
Do not be silent and indifferent at
home, and remarkably agreeable else-
v here-
He what God intended you to be in
your creation and relationship to youF
husband—a kmd, affectionate, loving
thoughtful and obedient wife, not as
suming to dictate or command.
If sorqe would practice what they'
preach, love- and forgivqpess^ many
more would be the happy hearts. But
alasi ’uanotso; the majority of hu
manity seems proDe to crush the hearts
so earnestly struggling to iise from the
dark ruins of .some former efrings.
Jffay God forgive ail such srqqllnesa of
soul.
Take a sheet of clean, white paper,
on it lay a leaf, and place the whole,
for a few hours, in bright sunlight.
Remove the leaf and lay way: the
sheet of paper in a drawer, or othe?
daik place. If, after a few month 1 -,
the paper be again placed in the sun—
light, an image of the leaf will be found
on its surface.
