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 JMiscfUfliwiis. “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.-« Jewish Messenger. 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. Kansas City News. 28 J 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. isro. o'.
