Idut you 11 soon know the secret by
I learning J
The modus operandi, my dear!
If he stays out too late in the evening,
i artaking of supper and wine,
Lion t prove him a false fabricator,
> Hen he comes by asking the time;
for he surely will tell you the town
clock

” * ieil struck be counted it over
Just three times before it had done!
And then, it his hat, in the morning,
Is smaller by far than his head,
Don’t hint by the merest allusion
That his lordship went tipsy tobed ;
But rather regard the occurrence
A phenomenon, puzzling and queer—
With a strange look of mystification
In your eyes, if he’s watching, my
dear! J
And don’t fail to sew on his buttons,
And likewise his clothes mend with
care;
Don’t tease him for money for shop
ping;
Don’t frown wdien he acts like a
bear;
Don’t tell him too often, my deary,
That your poor head is aching with
pain,
Lest he whisper, way down in his
bosom ;
“O! I wish I were single again!”
Don’t tell him lhat INI ary, the house
maid,
And Ann, the obstreperous cook,
; Refuse to receive your suggestions
With even so much as a look.
Don't tell him how very annoying
You often have found it to be,
To be told to “get out of the kitchen,
And don’t come a-bothering me!”
But always seem cheerful and happy,
And always look pleasant and gay ;
Than a frown there is nothing more
jxjtent
In driving one's husband away ;
And thus yon must ever keep striving
You’ll find it an excellent plan ;
But whatever you do, dear, remember
That your husband is on by'a man.
A -Hake !sacks a San ; a
Buggy.
Mr. Walters and h’s wit- were re
turning to the city (ays tHe Dalton,
Georgia, Commercial) in a two-hore
buggy, from a trip into the countiy
About seven miles from town, on the
Mnnsfie*d road, they passed a snake
that was lying on the side of 'he road,
the griat size of which attracted their
attention. Alter passing the reptile,
Mr, Waters in Deluded fie would turn
back and kill it. He turned the team
around, drove back to a point opposite
the snake, drew his pistol and filed at
it, hut without effect. The horses,
not I eing used to the report of fire
arms, became restless and hard to
contiol, which caused the attention of
Mr. Walters to be diverted from the
snake, which tan rapidly to thehuggy
np the wheels, and on the dash-hoard
betore the occupants weie aware of it-
The snake, when it was within a foot
of the occupant* ot the carriage, coil
ed the lower part of its body, threw its
ueck into a graceful curve, drew back
its head, and was just in the act ot
launching its deadly fangs into Mr.
Walters, ween he fired the second
shot. This, though missing, had the
effect to cause the suake to lower it
self on the longue of the carriage.—
Mr Walters then fited two more thots
one of which took effect, and caused
:he reptile to fall from the carriage to
the ground, and Walters dispatched
it with a stone The reptile was
measured and found to be ovc
six leet long, and was thicker than a
man’s wrist.

Buake was not to be trifled with timely.
The hawk went for its prey when the
snake embraced him with a death
like grip. The hawk flapped and
squaked, but the snake held him fast

was attracted by the noise. The hawk

Philadelphia is very much excited
over the case of Mr. Shrnck, who has
been resurrected from the dead. It
appears that last September the victim
who is a man of thirty-five, had a
terrible utt ict of bemmomge of the
lungs, since then he b< n slowly
wast.tig way unti! on Sunday morn
ing !a.-t at 7 o’clock he breathed his
last, and Cite under aker was snnuuon

that luuc ionaiy with his assistance
arrived however, and whs about lift
ing the corpse from the bed one of the
attendants heard a groan and hastily
place*! the body in the bed agaiu Re
storatives were at once applied a (lector
sent for and at eleven o'clock Mr.

living. This was naturaliy something
of a suprise to his family, though
cases of suspended animation are by no

fact is not that Mr. Shr ck awoke to

! beyond the river was a track cloud,—
Oriierß were walking over the river,
and, although 1 dreaded it, something
urged me on and I felt tha' I had to

beautiful, and expanding it opened

A Washington dispatch says it
is stated definitely in Democratic
circles that John * Sherman, Secreh* tv
of the Traastiry, and Mr Stoughton,
Minister to Russia, will shortly be
indicted by the Stats Courts of Louii--
idnna for complicity with Andersen,
Wells and nthers’fin what is, called
the returning board conspiiscy. A
prominent Loui-ianna Democrat,
known to he in the of hu
party, announces lhat during the com
ing both the officials named will ke
called upon to ans werjsuch indictment.
The statemi nt, fw liich is corroborated
by many eiroumatatices* is that Gen.
Ogden.(leader of theJLoutsiar.na White
League, has in his possession doc
umentary and other evidence which
will he ample to procure such an
indictment* He withholds this testi
many until fcafterj Anderson’s trial. !
There is uo doubt of Anderson’s con- j
victim, and, in view of the fact that !
Anderson has threatened if fie goes •
t.> jail Sherman will have to go with
him, it is argued that Ogdeu thinks
Anderson will become a witness
against Jhe Secretary, *ud there is no
doubt that he and others in authority

former immunity, if, by doing so, he
could bectire ttie conviction of the
latter
The documentary evidence impli

of a paper signod try them, or at least

Sam Long, a well-known circus
clown, tells the blowing etory on
Henry Clay:
“I remember once we entered Lex
ington in procession, and it just hap
leued that Henry Clay waa driving
at the same time. I brought up the
rear of lb procession, riding a mule.
A* he wss directly behind me, I turned
my tace to the mule's tail and sang out:
“Here we aie follow citizens Witdotn
led by Folly.”
“The people laughed and shouted
and old Harry seemed greatly amused.
The next day at the circus I made a
speech, in which I advised him to be
President of the United fotates, and
take me in his cabinet. That night
he sent me a bottle of the finest wine
I ever tasted witb bis compliments
saying.
‘Froui the prorest fool to the be t
clown in the United Sta*es.’
“Ah ! sir, them was a great man
for you.”
How Afßlrd Waa Ideulified
The Snratogian has this pleasant
little story: “A lady visiting a Walton
street residence; the other day was at
tr.cted to a beautiful canary bird by
its close resemblance to one she had
lost Vast spring. She was informed
that the songster had come to them,,
they finding it one chilly morning
perched upon a window sill. The
lady stated that the bird hau beer,
taught to’perforiu the pret'y little feat
when given .its liberty in a room, of
picking up a pin aud sticking it in
the carpet. Toe cage door was opened
and as the canay flaw forth the lady
threw a pin out in the center of the
fl m ,r. The bird immediately flew
down to where it lay, caught it in its
bifi, dexterously stuck it in a perpen
diculai position in the carpet, after
which ii hopped off a step or two and
warbled forth some of its sweetest notea
as il iu exultation of the feat it had
accomplished. It was her long lost
songster.
