WOMAN’S TRARS.
The fountain of a woman’s tears
Lie closcr to her heart than man's.
Sbe lives by moments he by years;
She pities where he looks askance.
First she to act the Christian part,
Keener to leel for griet and pain.
Perchance it is ¢ ecause her heart
Is less a stranger to her brain.
Howheit—-"tis womanly to weep,
And her sweet, sudden tear oft shame
Our better selves from torpid sleep
To win a purer, nubler name.
Dear, tender, tear-dimmed woman eyas!
How oft your tonder, pitying tears,
Have lifted from us, garment wise,
The pent-up bitterness of years!
How oft your tears in some dark day,
Down drooping, sweet as scented
thyme,
On our rough hearts have kissed AWAY
The stain of some intended erime!

Peculiar Phases of lusanity Among
Jealous Woman
It is an astonishing fact that
those who have positivly not the
slightest reason for doubting their
husband are t' e most jealous.
A lady and bher husband went
out to dinner, and opposite to
where the gentlemen sat was a
young lady. Well, wonld you be
lieve that the dreadful man actu
ally committed the oifense of raje
ing his eyes off Lis plate and leok
ing straight in front of him ? Pres.
ently a startling change came over
is delightful partner. She got
first red and then whits, pursed
her amiable mouth up and tossed l
her dainty head about, and when |
the couple returnei home she |
burst out into tears of Jealously |
and rage, reproachiug her husband |
inno measured tone. “I saw you.
staring at thatzcreature,” she sob- {
bed, “and she was making eyes at
you,tlie hussry,” ete. !
“lam going to diecharge my !
governess,” remaked Mrs, Phule
to her bosom friend.
“Why?” asked the friend: “She
seems such a nice, quist, modest
girl, and appears t+ b I:ach devo
ted to the children.”
“Artful creature,” remarked
Mrs. Phula. |
“She is actually sotting her cap
at my husband. Sha looks at
bim, and oaly Sunday when she
dined with us, ho asked her twice
to have duck, and actually opeu
‘ed the door for her when she left
ithe room. So itis high time she
left.”
~ There was a crime! Poor Phnle

HOW IS THIS FOR AN OUTRAGE?
ITrut-mt of the Agent ¢f the 8., F.
& W. R’y at Jacksonville, Fla., by
a Negro Policeman.
A few thorough-bred, white
skinned, straight-haired Geor
gians are evidently needed down
at Jacksonville, Fia., to do mis
sionary work. Llcad below, from
the Jacksonville Times-Union,
about the arvest ard treatment of
the agent of the 8, F. & W, R'y,
in that city, by & colored police
maun, a few days ago:
“Yesterday morning a most un
warranted assauit was committed
upon Mr. John A. Stephens,ageut
for the Savarnaly; i'lorida & Wes
tern Railway in ‘his city, by Po.
which will bear a thorough exam
ination.
' Mr. Stephens lef: the depot to
come to the city about 11 o'clock,
’ and being in a great hurry walk
'ed very repidly until when near
the corner of Buy and Bridge
streets, where he ,met a couple of
gentlemen who desired to see him
cn some business, and who stop
ped him. The two last named
gentlemen were standing on the
outer edge of the walk and Mr.
Stephens stopped right in front of
them, with his hand resting cn
the arm of one, and the po
sition which Le took did not oceu
py more than twelve cor fifteen
inches of the outer edge of the
welk. They had lot been stend.-
ing there a minate when Hug
gings came up and told them tc
clear the walk, as tiay ware about
to do anyway, &3 Mr. Stephens
was <u his way to the city
{0 weet an enyigement, bat
before Mr. Steplicrs had time to
move Huggings grabbed Mr,
Stephens by the arm and with an
onth informed him that he was a
prizoner. Mr. Stephens tried to
remonstrate, but it was of no use.
Huggings exclaimed, “G—d d—m
‘yoeu, you are my prigsoner, and I
' will have you to go to jail,”where
‘upon he was dragged up threngh
the heavy sand to the La Villa
lock-up and then told tLat by de
| positiug $lO for his appearance at
| court he would be released, which
' he did and was then turned loose.
While on his way to jail Huggings
remarked, “G—d d—m you, such
men a 8 you have got uo respect
for colored folks, anyhow, and 1
am always glal () get hold of one
of yoa to run 1., When Mr.
| Stephens told bim that he would
Igivs him necessary bond for his
appearanee if ihere were any
charges aguin<t him, the police
man orderel iim to shut his
mouth or he, Huggings, would
break his ¢- -4 !-ad aud he was
fgcihg to carry kit to jail.
On his way to t!e jnil he con
-Itinued to abuse Mr. Stephens in
| the most disgra~«ful manner and
| frequently treated him to violent
!jerks and other iy sults, Mr.Steph
;ans and his frieu s are wvery in
dignant at this oairageous insult,
and if there iy gany law by
which Policeman Fuggings can
get his just descris, be will cer
{tainly get them.”

THE GIRL OF TO-DAY.
Castroville (Tex ) Anvil.
*lf there is anything we know
less about than we think we
do it is the girl; and of this the
girl is glad, for there is noth
ing she hates to be known about
her so bad as the truth.
We have bevn acgainted with
her for a long time and watched
Ler pranks from afar, seen her
cut the “pigeon-wing” and knock
the “jack-step” in the back yard,
when she thought she had no
speetator; but still we don't know
her. i
From the time she is big enough
to swing on the gate and tie a
donble bow-knot, she begins to
ufl she kueps
this up untilhé 18 lcented in the
back yerd, exercising his talents
dissecting steve wood.
She may be a littla dull on
mathematies, hat invariably solves
the roblem of putting a No. 5
foot ina No. 3 shoe.
She will wear out two old dress
es running around to find out how
to make a new one in the latest
style, |
She will break the point of her l
brother’s knife making a crack to !
peep at strangers when they come
visiting.
She will greet you with the
most bewitching smile and langh
at your stupidcess when you are |
gone. l
She wll walk three blocks out
of the way toget a pep at her|
beau, and then pass by wifihout'
looking at him.
She will talk with you two
hours without being sble to re
peat a word you have said, but
will know how long you have
worn your duds and how many
battons have lost their grip.
She will attesl church, listen
with absorbed interest to eloquent
and pathetic sermons, then retarn
home and expatiate upon the hor
rible fit of Mrs. Senow's new
basque,
She will go to the table, mince
over delicacies with the most fas
tidious taste, then slip back in
the kitchen and eat a raw potato.
Bhe will wear out her last pair of
shoes dancing «ll day, then attend
a ball at night and complain of
being out of practice.
She willspend all night writing
a carefully worded letter, in the
most precice hand, to her Simon
Sugge, then seratch off a page to
her sister that Old Harry couldn’t
read.
She will be the most devout
creature on earth, and then hate
the earth that Sallie Griwes
walks on,
Sho will be industricus and
economical for a month, then
spend her savings for a red rib
bon.
she will slouch around the
house for a week making prepa
rations to look neat on Sunday.
She will flirt with all the besc
youngmen in the neighberhood,
acd finally marry some kuotty
headed Jim Crow.

A MUCH-MARRIED MAN.
He Had Twenty-six Mothers-in Law
and Died in the Asylum.
A Kalamazoo, Mich., dispatch
of the New York Herald of No
vember 23 says: William Sar
gent, whko once had as great a ma
nia as King Solomon for matri
mony, died this afternoon in the
hospital of the State Luuatic Asy
lum. Sargent was arrerted some
time ago for bigamy at Jackson,
in this State. On his trial it was |
discovered that he hal married
several different women in differ
ent places. As'he claimed that he
had a right to d> this sort of
thing without limit, and that in
the multiplicity of mothers-in-law
he found comfort, Sargent's sani
ty was doubted. He was proved
to be insane and was seut to the|
State Lunatic Asylum here.
While in the asylum it trans
pired that Sargent was perfectly
sane on all questions except that
of matrimony, and that he had
married, or attempted to marry,
twenty-six women in this and oth
er States. He was a travelling
man at one time, and had families
in variors places. One peculiari
ty of his was that when he was in
the bosom of ous family he seem
el to forget cutirely all abont his
other families, and, although he |
would stay in one place several |
weeks, he never wrote to or spoke \
of the wives and children he had
elsewhere. He was a fine looking ’
man, of gooc address, and was
very attentive to women. He
made several vietims in Canada, |
where he married as many as
eleven unsuspecting girls.
When be was arrested Sargent
was considered a villian of the
deepest dye, but it was learned
that_he had an insane mania for
marrying ar.d was not a deliber
ate scoundrel, many of Lis friends
took pity on him. Defore he died
the much married unfortunate re
covered suflicien’'ly to understand
why ha whas impiisoned and to
realize the fate he had brorght on
80 mAany women. |
Progressive Christiauity.
“Ah,” said the superintendent,
“ana there is Tommy Goodboy’s
wissionary offering, $27 50, That
will make some little heathan
hearts glad. Now, tell us how
you got this meney, Tommy.”
“Yes, sir,” said Toimnmy, speaking
up loudly and distinetly, like {he
good boy that he was; “part of it
sawon en change, scine of it ma
won on a erazy-quilt rafile, some
of it rister Laara won at progress
sive enchire, two dcollars brother
Bill won on the hise race, twenty
cents I got for marbles I won on
playing keeps, and the rest I won
in a grab bagand aprize cake at
the cliurch fair.” After a brief
consultation the brethren deeided
that they wonld send the money
ta the heathen, but wouldn't tell
how it was raked in. There wre
some things in modern Christiani
