THE DYING WIFE’S APPEAL.
The following beautiful lines were placed
in the scrap book of a now deceased wife
about a week before her demise. How
beautiful and touching they are under the
circumstances. She expected when placing
them in the book to live but a short time :
Come npar me, let me lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear
Love's last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe these trembling words,
When they lie cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm anil loving breath.
Igo from thee: God only knows
How I have longed to stay—
How I have shuddered thus to tread
The long and shadowed way.
Faith tells me that I soon must know
The joys the blessed find,
And yet I falter while I cast
A lingering look behind.
I see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterness and tears;
But I can leave thee something still,
To light thy weary year;
Young tendei forms will cling to thee,
Perhaps will miss my tone, 0
And though they may not share thy grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hour
The motherless must know.
The world, with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make thee glad ;
But they must linger round the hearth
Still desolate and sad.
And O, when time shall call thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come
W r hen thou wilt win another form
To share thy heart and home—
When thou wilt welcome to thy hoard
A younger, fairer face,
And bid thy children smile on her,
Who takes their mother place.
But think not could I speak to thee,
That I would frown or blame.
Though they should love the stranger one,
And call her by my name.
For they will speak to thee of me,
My memory.is their trust;
A word, a smile, a look like mine
W’ill call me from the dust.
Yet make my grave no placo of tears,
But let the dear ones bring
To cheer their mother’s lonely home,
The blossom’s of the Spring;
And there thou, too, may'st kneel,
And so illy press the earth
That covers her, whose face once gave
A brightness to thy hearth.
Then will the fair forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou can’st forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, so true to thee;
But O, the spring-time of thy love,
Its freshness was for me.
May she be biest who comforts thee,
And with a gentle hand
Still guide our Httle trembling ones,
Who make our household band.
She the tenderness
That fills their mother’s breast,
But she can love them for thy sake,
And make thee more than blest

“Fetch Her Out/’ —A Rare and Bles''
sed Spectacle in California Twfnty
Years Ago. —ln those days men would
flock in crowds to catch a glimpse of that
blessed spectacle, a woman ! Old inhabi
tants tell how, in a certain camp, the news
wens abroad early in the morning that a
woman was come ! They had seen a calico
dress hanging out of a wagon down at the
camping ground—sign ot emigrants from
over the great plains. Everybody went
down there, and a shout went up when an
actual bonafide dress was discovered flutter
ing in the wind? The male emigrant was
visible. The miner said : “Fetch her outl ,;
He said : “It is my wife, gentlemen—she is
sick —we have been robbed of money, pro
visions and everything, by the Indians—we
want to rest.” “Fetch her out! We’ve got
to see her !” That was the only reply.
He “fetched her out,” and they swung their
hats and sent up three rousing cheers and
a tiger; and they crowded around and gazed
at her and touched her dress, and listened
to her voice with the look of men who list
ened to the memory rather than a present
reality; and then they collected $2500 in
gold and gave it to the man, and swung
their hats again and gave three more cheers,
and went home satisfied. A year o? two
ago I dined in San Francisco with the fams
ily of a pioneer and talked to his daughter,
a young lady whose first experienee in San
Francisco was an adventure, though she
herself did not remember it, as she was
only two or three years old at the time.
Her farther said that, after landing from
the ship, they were walking up tho street,
a servant leading the party, with the little
girl in her arms. And presently a huge
miner, bearded, belted, spurred and bris
tled with deadly weapons—just down from
a long mining campaign in the mountains,
evidently barred the way, stopped the ser'.
vant, and stood gazing, with a face all alive
with gratification and astonishment. Then
he suid reverently : “Well, if it ain’t a
child !” And then he snatched a little
leather sack out of his pocket and said to
the servant ; “There’s a hundred and fif
ty dollars in di st there, and I’ll give it to
you to let me kiss the child I” That anec
dote is true. But see how things change.
Sitting at that dinner table, listening to
that anecdote, if I had offered double the
money for the privilege of kissing the same
child, I would have been refused. Seven
teen added years had far more thau doub
led the prict.— Correspondence Buffalo Ex.
ftgy* An irate subscriber in Pensylvania
writes to us; “Please stop your paper.”
We are very sorry we cannot accede to his
request, unless he is willing to secure to us
an annuity of several thousand dollars, be
sides placing us perpetually on the “free
list at the theatres and on the railroads.-«

In the Fashion—Mysteries of the Pari*
isian Lady’s Toilet. -The beautiful daugh
ters of Eve have, from time immemorial,
indulged in corsets, or some equivalent;
latterly they have, in many cases, entirly
forsaken the ancient species of cuirass, or
have singularly modified that instrument
of unnatural torture ; and a statistic has
recently beet) published, which shows that
the mortality of women in France has de
creased eighteen and a half per cent.
There is generally a reverse side to every
picture. If death from tight lacing have
become less frequent, brain fevers, in con
sequence of carrying on the head immense
piles of false hair, have increased seventy
three aud three-quarters per cent. It is
the custom with most of the fairer sex to
think it better to be out of the world than
out of the fashion ; and hence the eccentric
absurdities of the day, eonductive to sicks
ness and premature death, will be encour
aged ad infiNitum. What between false
teeth, false hair, lilly white, and rouge, it
is difficult now-a-days to obtain a glimpse
of human nature. Every thing is false
here. You can be dark or tair at will. I
met a lady yesterday w'hom Dame Nature
has every right to claim as a brunette; she
was so to my knowledge some weeks since ;
she is now the possessor of golden locks,
which twist and twirl and caper around
her head in countless profusion. One lady
has applied to that part of the human form
diviue, in which brains are supposed to re
side, a wash of extraordinary power ; but
unfortunately for her the result is in a res
verse to the effect promised, for off came
her hair with a rnn and she is as bald as a
glacier. Her husband brought an action
against the operator and obtained damages.
Another lady disputed the price of a set of
teeth, which was produced, in prQof of her
right to refuse payment, and # respeet for
truth constrains me to affirm that the ats
tempts as yet seen at dental imitation, the
teeth in question were the rudest sort of
things that could be imagined ; they might
have been hacked by a clodhopper with a
blunt knife, and net at all calculated to win
the heart of the softest man.— Paris Cor.
N. Y. Herald.
Tiie Local PAPER.-The lollowing tribute
to the local paper which we take from the
columns of the Chicago Republican, con
tains so much truth chat we commend it to
the careful consideration of all buisness
men, and others interested in the welfare
of their local journals :
W hat tells us so readily the standard of
a town or city as the appearance of its pae
per ? And its youth or its age can as well
be determined by the observing as by a
personal notice. The enterprise of its cit*
izens is depicted by its advertisement; their
liberality by the looks of the paper. Some
papers shows a good solid, healthy found
ation, plethoric purses, and a well to do ape
pearanee generally; others show a striving
to contend with the grasping thousand
around them trying hard to wrench an ex
istence from the closefisted communities.
An occasional meteoric display in its cols
umns of teflfegraph or local, or of editorials,
shows what it can do if it had the means;
but it cannot continue in the expensive work
until support comes, which ought to be
readily granted. A newspaper is like a
church —it wants, fostering in the corns
meDcement, and for a few years : then as a
general thing it can walk alone, and reflect
credit upon its location. Taka your home
paper —it gives you more news of immedi
ate interest than any other paper ca# pos
sibly do; it talks for you when othea local
ities belie you; it stands up for your rights;
you always have a champion in your home
paper; and those who stand up for you
should certainly be well sustained. Your
interests are kindred and equal, and you
must rise or fall together. Therefore it is
to your interest to support your home pas
per, not grudging, but in a liberel spirit as
a plersure, not a disagreeable duty, but as
an investment that will amply pay the ex
penditure.
An Exacting Judge.—xle Does All the
Courting in His Court. —It is a very naturs
al mistake to suppose 9. court room is the
place to court iD. Example and precept
has induced the opinion in many that it is
not entirely unknown to the court-rooom.
Under these circumstances a very starchy
youth beheld a starchy girl seated on a
bench and watching curiously the proceed
ings cf the court. It was not in the youth’s
nature to resist tho opportunity of courting
her. He leaned gently over the blushing
beauty, whispered soft beguilements into
her willing ear, and perchance would have
p essed the rosebud lips, had not the Recor
der noted the action, and, growing indig
nant that one should poach upon his pre*
serves, even in his presonce, shouted angri
ly :
“Put that man out!”
The officers seized them both.
“Let the woman alone and take out the
man. I’ll let him know 1 don’t allow any
body such privileges in my court-room. If
there’s any courting to he done, I’ll do it
myself.”
It is needless to say the intruder, upon
judicial franchises, was ruthlessly thrust
out, and the peace of the court again secur
ed. — [N. 0. Picayune.
A Little Girl Hurried Alive.— About
four weeks ago a little Germun giri in Brook
lyn, Ohio, took sick with the lock jaw, and
in a lew days she was thousihtdead and was
buried. On the evening of her burial, the
mother for some reason, was led to the grave,
and, with her ear pressed close to the ground,
thought she heard a noise and believed her
chikfto be moving in its coffia. She with
held from asking assistance for fear of be
ing ridiculed ; and immediately procured a
spade and began to dig up the earth, Soon
she came to the coffin, and hurriedly taking
it from the eaeth opened it and there tound
the bodv of her child, nine hours af er its
burial, 'as warm as if it were living, and
lying on its side. She took the child to her
house, where a physician was immediately
called in and every restorative applied to
briog the child to life. It was too late.
The soul had taken its flight, and in a few
hours more the body was cold and icy. It
was scon burie 1 again, and has not since
been disturbed.
How came such a greasy mess in
the oven ?” said a fidgety old spinster to
her maid of-all-work. “Why,’ replied the
girl, “the candles fell into the water, and
I put them into the oven to dry.”
Carrying out llis Idea. A Fkek Lover
II Ct-b.vmd at Mound City Seeks Ilia Af
finity.—A gentleman who came up the
road from Fort Scott tells us a pleasant
story of men and things as they exist at
Mound City, which is a station on the Gulf
road. We give prominence to the affair,
not because wo were an eye-witness of
what wo relate, or because we feel a par
ticular interest in it, but because in this
age of “affinities," we like to show how ac
tively the thing works. The story may or
may not be colored. On that point it would
be ra>h to express an opinion. The duty
of a faithful reporter is to give such partic
ulars as may have come to his observation
at the latest moment* This we do, and
narrate the following :
“My dear/' said a married man, steping
up affectionately to his wife the other morn
ing, “I have found much solace lately in the
doctrine of ‘affinity/ and I think, without
obtruding on your privacy, that I have ob
served a similar peculiarity in your own
sensitive soul. Let us obey our instincts."
“Love," murmured the lady, “you look in
to my heart as into a mirror." That night
the gentleman came home and found his
pillow oeupied by the bead of a neighbor.
Like a good husband, he stepped away soft
ly for fear of disturbing his wife, and sought
the wife of the man wbo was ocupying his
bed, and in whom he thought it probable
he might find another “affinity." On find
ing her, however, he was surprised to dis*<
cover that her fondness for “affinities” had
been appeased otherwise. He now began
to think that the doctrine was spreading
quite rapidly, and that he was to be left
out in the cold. Not wishing to run all
round the town, and despairing of finding
a lady who had not an “affinity" already to
her h ind, he betook himself to a haystack,
where he slept all night, and got hack to
find his wife ready with a hot breakfast,
her hair all nicely smoothed down, and look
ing as fresh as a peach. That is the way
the “affinity" dodge works.— Leavenworth
Com mereial.]
Married on Horseback. — Yesterday
morning, just as services were opening at
the Congregational church in this city, and
as Mr. B. Wright was entering the build
ing, a lady and gentleman rode up on a pair
of prancing horses, and requested that they
should see the preacher. Mr. Wright in
formed them that services were opening and
that he would prefer not interrupting the
minister at that time.
“Yes, but," replied the gentlemau, “wo
must see him right away."
“What do you want with him?" asked
Mr. Wright.
“We desire to get married immediately
and that too, as we are, just now, ou horse
back."
Mr. W. was somewhat surprised at the
strange iemand of the parties, and although
he felt desirous of complying, as far as ho
could, with their wishes, yet he doubted the
legality of such a marriage, as also did Rev,
Mr. Beakman, who happened to be in the
church and who was called out by Mr.
Wright for consultation in regard to the
matter.
Judge Jenkins was then called out and
interrogated as to the legality of the wed
ding,. The Judge at once dissipated the
doubts of those who questioned the legality
of the marriage, and relieved the anxiety
of the couple, who were patiently waiting
for the ordeal.
Out on the streets then, in front of the
church, and while religious services were
being conducted within doors, with Judge
Jenkins and Mr. Wright as witnesses, Mr.
Beakman preformed the marriage ceremony
for the happy couple, and the two romantic
hearts were united for weal or woe, for bet
ter or worse.
The lady was quite young and beautiful,
the gentleman was much her senior in years,
but also a fine looking and manly, and the
happiness manifested by their faces when
the ceremony had beeu performed is beyond
description. Their names were Ephraim
Ilarbyast and Lizzie Cook.

Lost Women. —With all their vagaries
absurdities, it must be admitted that the
“strong minded" women sometimes say
things well worthy to he read and pondered.
Read this from a speech of Mrs. Burleign,
at the Woman’s Suffrage Convention, in
New Jersey : “My friends, has it ever oc
curred to you what a commentary upon our
civilization are these lost women and the
attitude of society toward them ? A little
child strays from the home inclosure, and
a whole community is on the alert to find
the wanderer and restore it to its mother’s
arms. What rejoicings w r hen it is found,
what tearful sympathy, what heartiness of
congratulation.
There are no harsh comments upon the
poor, tired feet, he they never so miry, or
reprimand for the soiled and torn garments,
no lack of kisses for the tear- stained face.
But let the child be grown to womanhood,
let her be led from the inolosuro of moral
ity by the voice of affection, or driven from
it by the strong scourge of want—what
happens then ? Do Christian men and wo
men go in quest of her ? Do they provide
all possible help for her return, or if she
returns of her own notion, do they receive
her with such kindness and delicacy as se
cures her against wandering again? Far
from it. At the first false step she is de
nounced as lost; lost, echo friends and rela«*
tives—we disown yon ; don’t never come
near us to disgrace us. Lost says society,
indifferently. How had these girls are!
And lc »t —irretrievably lost!—is the prompt
verdict of conventional morality, while one
and all unite in bolting ever? door between
her and respectability. Ah ! will not these
lost ones bo required at our hands in the
great Hereafter?"
Self Importance.— lt is related of a dis
tinguished Senator (Sumner?) who had
been in rather bad health, that he was ac
costed by a constituent during one of those
breathless periods of the late war when the
very destinies of the nation seemed to our
excited fancies to hang upon the fortunes
of the hour.
“Oh, Mr. , I am so glad to see you !"
said the friend. “Is there—have you any
news ?"
“Thank you V’ responded the Senator,
with grave serenity—“ Thank you: lam
much better!" —From “The Philosophy of
Self-Importance," in the January number
of Lippincott’s Magazine.
