This fresh humiliation is all owing to your submission of this morning!’ ‘That seems too true,’ murmur cd poor Arthur. ‘The more you give way, the more they exact. Ajid this ought to prove to you that the head of the house should alone have the power to command. Hallo! what may that signify?’ This question was caused by the sound of a couple of violins, the pi a} ers on which we r e approach ing down the public road, followed by a gay party of young folks dressed in their holiday clothes, who made a pause, and set up joyous shout as they reached the park gates. ‘Oh, its only a few friends and neighbors, sir, who, with Sir Ar thur’s kind permission, have come here to spend the afternoon and drink a glass ol homemade wine with me and my husband on this the first anniversary of our wed ding day,’ replied Fanny, as she opened the gate, and showed them into the little cottage. ‘Go in— go in; you’ll find my good man in the garden, and plenty to eat in the back room.’ ‘Oh, ho! I had no idea that you were a married woman, Fanny,’ said the colonel, with a smile. ‘Oh, yes, T am, sir.’ ‘You have got a good husband, I hope?’ *A capital one, sir.’ ‘Ah! Docs he let you have your own way in everything?’ ‘Lor, 1 no, sir; at least he thinks he don’t, but I manage it pretty well. My John Goodchild is a reasonable man.’ ‘As how, pray?’ CONCM'DKD NEXT WEEK. IN 5>attbcrsttilf<.

That’s the end of a lady’s train! She’s just going up the third story in the elevator. A short Italian prayer, which is not without wisdom, says: “I pray that I may not be married. But if I marry, I pray that I may not be deceived. But if I am deceived I pray -that I may not know it. But if I know it L pray that I may be able to laugh at the whole affair. A Western man, having lost his wife, was accosted by a sym pathizing friend, who remaiked upon his woe-begone appear ance. “ Well, T guess you would look thin, too,” was the melan choly rejoinder, “if you had to get up before daylight, make the fires, draw water, split wood, and feed the cattle, all before breakfast. I just tell you what it is, if I don't get somebody to fill poor, dear, sainted Maria’s place, I will be resting by her side before many weeks are past.” People’S.

WATCHES, CLOCKS and JEWELRY REPAIRED BY Jernigan. : - n w s 10 yfleuKine and recreation are abjolutely necessary to relieve our minds and bodies from too constant attention and labor. As frost to the bud and blight to the blossom, even such is self 1 interest to friendship, for confi dence cannot dwell where sel fishness is porter at the gate. The world is a beehive in which we are all hunting for honey; the few are successful, but the many only receive stings and pains in the effort. A man may be brave enough to walk right up to the cannon and yet not have the courage to hand his wife a letter he has car ried in his jacket for a week. There is no worship where there is no joy. For worship is something more tlmn either the fear of God or the love of him. It is delight in him. In most quarrels there is a fault on both sides. A quarrel may be compared to a spark, which cannot be produced with out a flint as well as steel. IfTOHllM'3NinN30 3N0N On hand and for Sale SPEC T A GLES, NOSE CLASSES, <£•<?.
