HY WIFE. Who rise* with the morning sun. And tiss a care for all that's dooo, And then two days’ Work in one T My wife. Who baa tbe victuals sweet and good, And cooks them nicely without Wood, But picks op chips as women should 7 My wife. Who stays homo the live tang day, And watches things when I’m awav With some nice girl to the ba«e-ball play T My wife. Wbo tends me when 1 think I'm ill, And brings on time each powder and pill, And keeps the noisy children still 7 My wife. Who often her ione watch doth keep Beside the cradle while I sleep, And never let’s me see her weep 7 My wife. When business presses on me so That out of town I'm forced to go, Who acts as if she didn’t know f My wife. Who meets me with a loving smack, When from ray lark I'm salelv back, And tells no tales behind my buck 7 My wife. Who never cores for any show, And sweetly smiles and tells me so, Yet always willing i should go 7 My wife. Wbo leaves the dimly burning light, That 1 may find my way all right, When I come home a little f My wife. Who turns her dresses upside down. And inside out without a frown, That I may wear the best in town 7 My wife. Who beeps the bnttons on my clothes, And doe* it when—nobody knows; Pet baps when I’m in sweet repose? My wife. Who’ll weep when death has sealed my doom, And plant sweet roses on my tomb. And not marry again before they bloom 7 My wife. Tbe Future King of England. The Prince can unbend ; and, indeed, if one cared to describe characters in the Prince of Ligne style, (“he is fiddle, he is diddle,” etc.,) through half a dozen pages, one could analyze bis royal highness into a number of curiously contradictory elements. The fact is he is as uffable us he is proud ; and many are the insiances related of his good nature. It be remembered that a few years ago he was ridden over in Rotten Row by a gentleman, who called on the tal lowing day at Marlborough Ilouse to make the humblest apologies. The Prince was very good oalured about it, and insisted on bia visitor remaining to luncheon. In a dub or at a mess diuncr the Prince is simply a gentleman amongst gentlemen. The Prince is a torv in politics. Rnd a sort of Broad High Churchman in religion, gome time ago he presented a couple of beuutilu! altar candlesticks to the church at Sandring ham. But the friend of Dean Stanley would not be likely to go too for in this direction. Bis toryism, too, is of that kind which is open (on certain questions) to conviction. Thus the only vote he ever gave in the Rouse of Lords was in favor of the bill for legalizing marriages with a deceased wifi’s sister. His brother of Edinburgh voted with him, the Duke of Cambridge being in the majority which threw out the bill. Gen erally speaking, however, the Prince m good conservative on political ques tions. The Prince, it should be mentioned, is an excellent lather, and very desirous that his sods should receive a substantial educa tion, “and be taught to do something with tbeir hands,” as be puts it. He is also a good sou, and sets the example of treating tbc Queen’s slightest wish as a command. It is out of deference to her will that he never attends horse-races ou Sundays whilst traveling abroad. He once begged by letter that Ibis rule should be relaxed so as to enable him to accept Mur«lml VacMubon’s invitation to see the “Grand Prix” run, but ■ negative answer was returned by telegraph, and the Piince did not go to the race. Of the prince’s literary tastes there is not much to be said. Like most modern princes, be is, hy the mere force of circumstances, a good linguist, speaking French and German as perfectly as English. Wbat is more, be can make an after-dinner speech in French, and he can joke in the same tongue. He is tond of late hours, but no matter how late be may go to bed he rises early the next morning. He is a keen sportsman and a very fair shot. At wbist he plays an ex cellent hand. And whether the occupation of the moment be whist, sport or dancing, be enters into it with a hearty relish which contrasts strangely with the blase airs of the golden youths of the day. His constitution is an excellent one. He rarely has a day’s illness, and be is a living proof that no amount of tobacco can enfeeble either mind or body. 1 believe that he was the inventor of the now popular drink, ••lemon «Dd soda.” His education, by the way, was about as s» rioos as can be the educatiou of a man who is born to everything worth having ou this earth ; who becomes a colonel at 18 and a general at 21. Tbe Queen made a brave effort to briog up ber sons in Spartan sim plicity. Their table was of the plainest kind ; they were made to do a fair amount of work, aßd they were required to take out door exercise every day, in wet as in sunny weather. But once at Oxford, tbe Prince wes virtually bis own master, and he certainly distinguished himself more by a universal urbanity than by too exclusive an attentiou to tbe classic authors. There is a rather ludicrous tradition at Oxford of bow the Prince, w hen an undergraduate, went “up to town" one bright afternoon, incognitas, as be fondly deemed, as well as incognito. Wbat was bis dißgust on striving at tbe Great Western terminus an tquerry in at tendance and a loyal carriage awaiting bis orders Whether tbe Prince, despairing, requested to be driven to Exeter Hall to pass a quiet afternoon, tbe legeDd relatctb DOt. It baa Often been said that there is no royal road to learning. Let any one who believes this talk half an hour with the Prince of Wales, when he may perhaps ask himself whether this goodly proverb is so very true after all. There is a royal road to knowledge, though few have the privil ege of treading it What most of us must gain from the study of books a Prince of Wales can gaio from the living conversation of the greatest men of the day, from travels under the guidance of the most delightful of cicerones, from the best places at all the most famous sights and shows, from early conversance with reasons of state and ques tions of policy, from assisting at (and taking pari in) the making of history. The Prince is admirably informed on an extraordinary number of questions. Of late, too, he has shown a taste and capacity for work from which onp augurs that he will scarcely be tbe rot faineant which certain persons have prophesied aod hoped he would be. There is no doubt that on questions of for eign affairs he will insist on having a voice. His interest in them is, of course, of a two fold nature. He is a thorough Englishman, and very enthusiastic about the necessity for tbe maintenance of our prestige ; be is also« German prince. His German sympathies, however, did not carry him so far as to ena ble him to approve ol the spoliation of Den mark ; and he even expressed himself with unwonted bitterness on the subject. But his feeling was rather personal than political. A member of his household, who spoke in cautiously about the matter to the princess, received what is vulgarly called “a wigging” for his pains. Few men have been moie onscrupnlonsly libelled thau lie. On one occasion he was much pained by a cartoon in a comic paper which likened him to George IV. “1 hope I’m not quite so bad as that,” rather naively observed his royal highness, throwing over his illustrious great-uncle without any cere mony at all. When one subject.of scandal began to pall on the public tuste another was tried, and we were told that the prince was head-over-ears in debt. As a matter ol fact, the Prince has always known perfectly well wbat tie was about. He i 9 very gener ous, giving away far more than the public is aware of, and a model landlord. Apropos, lu re is a story in which tbe Prince comes oil' well, and another person who may be called B, very badly. The Prince won a bet from B, wbo thereupon begged for time to pay his royul highness. Of course the Prince con sented ; and to do B justice, he paid. But some months after, B won a bet of tbe Prince. 'l’ll* sum was a trifling one, uud tbe Prince being rather suddenly called away to atteud a stute ceremony, the thing escaped his inind for a moment. lie Was awuy from Marlborough bouse two days, und on his re turn found a dunning letter from B, who re eeived his money by return of post; and 1 dare say tbe Prince has forgiven him. I may add that be is a luithfu! und punctual corres pondent, and can write both with humor and feeling. His opinions of contemporaries ure certainly expressed in some of his letters with a vivacity that will make them excellent reading lor our grand-children* —London Truth. Tlie Princess of Wales. For fashionability, for nobbincss, for chic, for everything that women most admire in women, there is really no describing her ; she must be seen to be appreciated. Her dress ing is always tbe last expression of Parisian elegance, and invariably her toilet 19 as fin ished as an epigrum. down to its smallest de tail. From her daiuty, high-heeled boots up to the tightly-drawn veil over her face, she is the most consummately apparelled lady, in the French style, who graces this metropolis Judging her merely as a wo man, with no aid from her high rank to be wilder a man’s imagination, I think there are many girls here in society who, with tbeir limpid eyes, glowing complexions, soft, turn bled hair and general loveliness, would wtu the race for a heurt sooner than she. But that matter is not to be thought of, of course. Bbe is Princess, future Queen and Empress, aud wonderfully well she is adapted to her station. Will you believe that yesterday, in the midst of the universal salaam which greeted her entrance, from a varied collection ot greatniaa, site walked straight across the room to a little paralyzed child who was propped np in a perambulator and began to with it I The all unconscious midgei chatted back babble and gave her a flower it held in its shadowy fingers. It was a loueh i»g little picture, and oue which was worthy the pencil of an artist. When she left the bazaar Mnd drove away through the streets cheer upon cheer greeted Alexandria, as the various p;.sseis recognized the soft, sad face. Hurrahs for royalty mean something more here than they did in imperial days in France, when tbe choristers of the Grand Opera were detailed during tbe day to stand on street corneis and shout "VtveV Empereur An Englishman will bear a wrong in silence, deeming submission a duty to God and law, hui you cunnot make him shoot if he doesn’t want to. —London Correspondence. Sketch or an Empress —Tbe empress of Austria, who bus just celebrated her silver wedding, lately enchanted the Irish hunting gentry by her splendid riding. Sha followed close to tbe hounds, and invariably led tbe field without having to draw upon the gal lantry of tbe sportsmen. She takes fences, gates and brooks just as they come, and although there are many plucky lady riders oo the shires, no ODe could touch the em press. Assuredly no finer or utterly fearless horsewoman ever skimmed across the level midland pastures, or took postß and rails with greater coolness and skill. She is as full of life, intelligence and gayety as ever, and she has tbe same detestation of toadyism aud formality, and tbe same freedom from all conventional restraint, which gave rise to tbe unpopularity that she had to encoun ter in tbe early years of her reign. Tweoty-six years ago Francis Joseph found this lady at her father’s country place, and at once became desperately enamored of her youth aud beauty as she appeared in the forest followed by two splendid wolf bounds. Sbe was just fifteea years old, tall aud elegant in figure, with the most limpid blue eyes, and a charming face set against masses of golden hair ; in feet, a perfect Diana. Francis Joseph had been long ex pected to select for bis wife one of ber older sisters, bat the very first look at her deter mined him not to seek any further in that family. Tbe princess herself was equally taken with tbe royal lover, and tbe courting went forward with such a mutual inspiration that tbe marriage was arranged aud took plaue within tbe year. Thk Royal Eyrs of England Most Englishmen know tbe Queen by sight, have seen tbe fine cut featores which hare possi bly become a little heavy by age, but which remain in a most remarkable degree aristo cratic, though comparatively few, perhaps, have heard the clear ringing voice, which is delightful in ordinary conversation, bat which becomes most painfully disagreeable and unpleasant when excited, or have seen the heavy-lidded eyes wake and flash light ning for a moment, and then sink back into disdainful repose. These fl ishes of light in the eyes are common to only three members of the royal family—the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Princess Beatrice. It is an extraordinary phenomenon; the whole face changes for an instant when suddenly lit np with tbe excitement shed from the eyes, and the phys’Ogoomy is entirely altered for the moment. The late Lord Russell said once to Lord Datling that he would rather anything than her majesty’s displeasure, for “it dazzled and shocked you like a sword suddenly UDsheathed in the sunlight.” The metaphor is apt and true, and a friend of ours who was dining at the royal table at Wind sor on one occasion, when her majesty be came suddenly displeased with a certain member of her family whom we will not name, has often assured us that her face changed so for an instant as to be almost unrecognizable.— Whitehall Review. Womanly Modksty —Man loves the mys terious. A cloudless sky and tbe full blown rose leave him unmoved ; but the violet which hides its blushing beauties behind the bush, and the moon when emerging from behind a cloud, are to him sources of in spiration and of pleasure. Modesty is to merit wlmt shade is to a figure in painting— it gives boldness aud prominence. Nothing odd* more to female beauty than modsty. it sheds around tbe countenance a halo of light which is borrowed from virtue. Botanists have given the rosy hue which tinges tbe cup of the white roses the name of “maiden blush.” This pure and dalicate hue is tha only paint Christian virtue should use. it is the richist ornament. A woman without modesty is like a faded flower diffusing au unwholesome odor, which the prudent gaiTle ner will throw from him. Her destiny is melancholy, for it terminates iu shame and repeniunee. Beauty passes like the flowers of tbe albe, which btaoni und die in a tew hours ; but modesty gives the female charms which supply the place of transitory fresh ness ol youth. Braoty.— There is something in beauty, whether it dwells in the human face, in the penciled leaves of flowers, the sparkling sur face of a fountain, or that aspect which genius breathes over its statue, that makes us mourn its ruin. I should not envy that man his feelings who could see a leaf wither or a flower fall without some sentiment of regret. 'l’his tender interest in the beauty aud frailty of things around us, is only a slight tribute of becoming grief and uffec« tion ; for nature in our adversities never de serts us. Sbe even comes more nearly to us in our sorrows, and, leading us awuy from the paths of disappointment and pain into her soothing recesses, allayg the anguish of our bleeding hearts, binds up the woundß that have been inflicted, whispers the meek pledges of a better hope, and. in harmony with a spirit of still holier birth, points to that home where decay and death can never come. Thb Michigan tramp does not sit still and let moss accumulate on his back, while all the rest of the world goes ahead. A few days ago a genuine specimen of the iron plated traveler of highways called at a house und asked for dinner. “No food to spare,” was the reply. “Can’t you give me an old coat ?” “No.” “Or a pair of old boots?” “No.” “Can’t you spare me even a pair of socks 7” “No.” “ Nor a piece of bread 7” “No” The fellow’s chin fell as he fumbled in his pocket, and Ins voice had a lonesome sound’ as he pulled out a small autograph album and said, “Well, if you cant do anr better, I’ll have to be satisfied with your ortergruff. Please use blue iuk.” “Why, Charles,” she exclaimed in great surprise, “are you chewing tobacco?” And Charles lapped tbe quid carefully under his tongue, and replied : “Why, no, dear; I’ve been out a good deal to-day and my teeth got badly sunburnt.” It was a uevr idea to her, but she would rather have his whole mouth sunburnt than to find him chewing tobacco. These women are so suspicious. Thk sight of a man wheeling a baby car riage in tbe street is a sign, oot that baby is weak, but that the man’s wife is strong. And yet, if we were to judge from the ami able grin with which the fond father, under these circumstances, salutes every passing acquaintance, we might erroneously suppose that he was realiy doing it just for the fun of tbe thing. A doctor of divinity was once giving his class some instructions about preaching in such a manner as to gaiu attraction and ap plause. “Young gentlemen,” said he, “it’s all contained in a nutshell. When you go to preach in .tbe city, take your best coat; but when you go to preach iu the country, take your best sermon.” A magazine writer says there is “too much money hoarded in this country." There may be ; but all tbe magazine articles in tbe world will not iuduce editors to put their millions of dollars into circulation until confidence in tbe business world is fully restored. At least, that is tbe way we feel about it. Prof. Felix Adi.kr says there are occa sions when it is aoeolutely wrong to tell tbe truth. The professor may Oe right, but he can’t swerve us from tbe babit we formed years before we embarked iu the newspaper business. “Don’t be an editor,” shrieks the Boston Transrupt. It is all very well to say, "don’t be an editor,” but when a man is too booesl for anything else, what is he to do ? “Thkbe’s arrest for the weary.” Tbeo the weary buries bis bead in a stone jag, and beers up as well as lie can under tbe circum stances. A tocng lady’B prayer book is so heavy now that it takes a young man to carry it home from church. NEW FIRM! Copartnership Notice. I HAVE this dav sold a half interest in my business to G. F.

LIYII This important organ weighs but about three pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about three gallons) passes through it at least Once every half hour, to nave the bile and other impurities strained or filtered from h. Bile is the natural purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car ried through the veins to all parts of the system, and in trying to escape through the pores of the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol low. Murrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes through it, as long as there k an ex cess of bile; and the effect ©f even r. few doses upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish all who try it—they heir;, the first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hepatine in accordance with directions. Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is given. SOLD AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PILLS BY ALL DRUGGISTS.
