A Little Nonsense. BY MAX ADXXSB. FALL TRADE. IMMENSE STOCK. For Cash, Receiving daily our fall stock of the latest styles in FINE JEWELRY, From th« Saturday Evening Po*t. Sawyer’s Only Detect.—Wbt-u the Saw yers returned from their wedding trip, we of course called upon them. Mrs. Sawyer alone was at home, and, after a brie! discussion of the weather the conversation turned upon Sawyer. We had known him for many years and we took pleasure in making Mrs. Sawyer believe that he had as much virtue as an om nibus load of patriarchs and martyrs, and the wisdom of Solomon, with a couple of editions of the revised cyclopedia thrown in. Mrs. Sawyer assented joyously to it all, but we detected a shade of sadness on beT lace while she spcke. We asked her if anything was the matter; if Sawyer's health was not good. “Oh, yes,” she said, “veiy good in deed, and she loved him dearly. He was the best man in the world; but—bnt—” Then we assured Mts. Sawyer that she might speak j frankly to ns, as we were Sawyer’s most inti mate friend, and could probably smooth any ] little unpleasantness that might mur their ; happiness. She then said it was nothing. It might seem foolish to speak of it; she knew it was not her dear husband's fault, and she ought not to complain; but it was hard, bard j to submit when the reflected that there was j but one thing to‘preveirt her being perfectly j happy; yes, but one thing; “for Ob, Mr. j * Adeler, I would ask for nothing more in this j _ __ - ■ ■world if Ezekiel only had a Roman nose!” Tft n We did not mention the subject to Ezekiel when we met him for fear ot exciting him. j But it is sad to tbiuk of two young lives being made miserable and two loving hearts separated just for want of one Roman nose. Bnt it is partly Mrs. Sawyer’s own fault, Any woman who truly loved her husband j might, we think, live happily with him if he bad a nose like a bar of Castile soap. FOOD FOR INFANT MINDS. We have received the first nnmber of a new j Sunday school paper jnst issued ih Chicago. It has for its motto “Onward to Heaven,” and j it contatns a request fcr a notice from other papers. One of the most prominent of the ! items in it is the following: “Old Bangs was a little too fond of his hit ters, and one day, after taking a snifter or two too many, be lay down by the roadside to sleep. A buzzard observed him, and, think ing ho was dead, alighted on bis breast and pecked him in the face. Whereupon old Bangs looked up and said, * You’re a leetle bit too smart; 1 ain’t dead yet.’ *’ We do not profess to know mnch about the best methods of instructing children, but this I seems to us to be just the kind of intellectual ' . m/Ycrra t\t a ifAYrnc food to fill the infant mind with a yearning for ^ AlvlliJib, HIAalUJMlu, pure religion, and to dispose it to seek to find i peace in holiness. The child whose tendency to yield to the impulses of original sm, impels it to walk in the path of wickedness, naturally \ would embrace the truths of Christianity with impetuous ardor, immediately after reading GOLD CHAINS, About the snifters ot old Bangs, and if the al- j lusions to bitters did not convince such an | evil-disposed babe of the instability of all earthly happiness, certainly the conversation j between Bangs and the buzzard would create and irrepressible longing tor celestial joys. We can cordially recommend Nticb a paper as this. THE HIRED GIRL. There is one reason why we should regret j to have the present troubles with domestic | servants ended. It :s because women derive so much pleasure from discussing the subject. Jt*lace two women together, and it makes no difference where the conversation starts from, it will be perfectly certain to work around to j the hired girl question before many minutes ; have elapsed. We have seen an elderly house keeper, with experience in conducting the ! talk in the right direction, break into u i discussion of Pythagoras ami the doctrine I of the transmigration of souls, and switch off the entire debate with such expedition that au unsophisticated listener would for some moments have au yidistinct impression that the conversation referred to the inefficiency of Pythagoras as a washer and ironer, and to the tendency of that heathen philosopher to hike two Thursdays out every week. And when a woman has an unusually villainous hired girl who bums up the coal, wastes tbe butter, mixes her hair with the bis cuit, and stuffs her cushions with the sugar, it is interesting to observe how she glories in the superiority of her sufferings to those of her neighbors, and how, as she tells of them, sh© gloats over her misery and feels good about it. A woman who has a realty compe tent servant is always in a condition <..r abject wretchedness on such occasions. THE MEANEST MAN. It tarns oat, after all, that the meanest man is not the man we referred to the other day, i who split up his wife's tombstone. 15 irrows ' is even meaner than he. Burrows was an in veterate tobacco chewer, but as his wife de- j tested the practice and made home tempest- • uous and stormy for him when he indulged in the habit there he always chewed when away during the day, and declared to his wife that he Lad stopped permanently. But oue evening, upon entering the front door and drawing out his handkerchief, he accidentally pulted out his paper of tobacco, and without noticing it left it lying on the floor. When Bui iows sat down to his tea, Lis wife walked in with the tobacco in her hand, and looking Buriows firmly in the eye, said, “Do you know who that belongs to, Mr. Burrows ?” He quickly turned, scowling to bis oldest boy a d said, with a severe voice: “Immortal Mars! Is it possible that you have be gun t • chew tobacco, you young reprobote? When d yon get that nasty stuli? What'd C. H. STRONG. B. F. MOSES. W. H. DICKSON. C. H.

And as he spoke the : stern father made a grab at the hoy and j dragged him out in the entry, where he chaa- j tised him' with a cane. Then Burrows threw | the tobacco over the fence, where he went out | and got it in the morning and enjojed it dur ing the day. “Merciful Moses!” be exclaimed when he laid us about it, “wh»t would 1 have done if my children had all been girls? It makes an"old lather’s heart glad when he feels that he has a boy he can depend on in such emergencies." WHY CHUBB MODB.VED. When Chubb’s wife died we called in to mourn with him, and if possible to console him in his affliction. The old man sat in the rocking chair, with his eyes closed, chewing a toothpick and rocking to and fro as he ap parently mused over the year, that bad sped so happily in company with bis late partner. We gently approached the subject of Mrs. Chubb's departure. We assured him that we sympathized with him in bis deep affliction, and the more sincerely because we well knew the estimable qualities of his wife and were familiar with the tirtnee with which she adorned her home. “She was, indeed," we said, “an excellent woman; a remarkable wo man; a woman of sterling qualities and of un affected piety.’’ Chubb stopped rocking and locked at us monrnfnlly. “Unaffected pie ty?" he exclaimed; “unaffected piety? That's jnst it. That is just what’s the matter. 1 tell yoo, Adeler,” he said, bringing his hand down emphatically on the arm ot the chair, “the way that there women could roast a su gar-cared ham would bring tears to the eyes of a graven image.” Then we went cat and left him alone with bis sorrow. There sre some kinds of grief that are too sacred to be lightly intruded upon. The proprietor is determined that every sufferer with pains shall know the wondortul power of Jackson's Magic Balsam, sod It gives him more pleasure to relieve the sufferers U pain than it does to sell the medicine. He has, therefore, decided to give from one hun dred thou.and to one million bottles of his celebrated Balsam away to all sufferers. And he would say that those who are not suffering should not be unconcerned, but recommend this valuable medicine to all who ere suffering with distress and pain. AGENTS: J. R.
