A Texas Wife.
The beit natured woman in the
United Slates lives in Austin. She
i has been mariied a number of
| years to a man named Ferguson,
but she and her husband have nev
er had a quarrel yet, and he lug
frequently boasted that it is utterly
impossible to make her angry.
Fergusou made several despera e
attempts to see if he could not ex
asperate her to look cross or scowl
at him, roere'y to gratify his cuti
otity, hut the more ou'rageoos he
acted the u ore affable and loving
she behaved. L ist week he was
taiking to a frien 1 about what a
hard time he had trying to find
out if his wife had a temper. Tin;
friend off_red to bet £3O that if
Ferguson were to go home drunk,
raise a row, and pull the table
cloth full of dishes off the table,
she would show some signs .f an
noyance. Fer uson said ho didn’t,
want to rob a friend of bis money
for be knew he would win; bn*
they nt last, made tt e bet of £SO,
the friend to hide in the front yard
and watch the proceedings of the
convention through the-window.
Ferguson came home late, and
apparently fighting drunk. She
met him at the gate, kissed him,
and a:-sited his tottering steps to
tke hou>e, He sat down hard in
the middle of thelloor and how’ed
out.-
‘Confound your ugly pictur*-,
whnt did you bv pulling that
olair from under me?’
‘O,l hope you didn’t hurt your
self. It v.as my awkwardness, hut
1 will try and not do it again,’and
she helped him to his ieet, al
though she had nothing to do with
his falling.
Hethensat down on-the sofa,
and sliding off on the floor, abus
ed her like a picK-pocket for lift
ing up the other end of tho sofa.,
ail ot which she took g"ou-Eatured
iy, aud fitiaiiy the led him to the
supper-table. He threw a plate at
her, but she did as if she had not
noticed it, and asked him if he
would lake tea or coffee. Then the
brute seized the table-cloth and sat
down on the floor, pulling the
dishes and everything else over
with him in one grand crash.
What did this noble woman do?
Do you suppose bhe grumbled and
talked about going home to her
rna, or that she sat down And cried
like a fool, or that she sulked and
pouted? Not a bit of it. With a
pleasant saiile, she said:
‘Why, George, that’s a new idea,
ain’t it? We have been married
ten years, ar d iiave never yet eat
en our supper on the floor. Won’t
it be fun; just like those picnics we
used to go to before we got n arri
! td,' and then this angelic woman
j de’iberately sat down on the floor
| alorig-side of the w r-tch, arranged
j the d-eh'd and fixed him up a
! good supper.
This broke George all up He
owned up that he was only fooling
her, arid offered to give her the
fifty dollars to get herte'f a new
bat, but she took die money and
bought him a new suit of clothes
and a box of cigars.— Texas Siftinys
A Story for the Child’ en.
A fiiend of ours told us a story
which interested ns so mueli that

Lawyer L. was cruising from the
' Pulaski House to enjoy his mor

by, threw dirt ir big face, and seme
of it was proj cted with considera

1 In a f.w mi ruts be w ped the specks

more was thought of the occurrence
until Mr. L was reminded of it by
a bill, “For services, 810 ” He told
the collecto’that there must be a
mistake, (hat surely the doctor did
not iot. rid to charge him for re
moving aspecK of dirt fiom bio

returned said: ‘Dr. H., saj s the
bill is correct.’ ‘Very well,’ said
the lawyer, ‘receipt the bill, tore’s

wis considered the bast joke of the
season. About a month after the
lawyer was passing l)r, Id’s office
on South broad etreet when Ihe
latter espide him. Oh! L , come
in, I have just bought a' piece of
property, and I am trying to make
out what these papers mean.

The lawyer sat down and cere

Kit Warren's elopement.
It was in the niidi’le of June, in
the year eighteen hundred and —
no matter what.
I was nineteen anti in love. She
was young and heaulif"! and solid
and promised to be mine, a mine of
pure womanhood and onlv regret
ted that I was 11 n inor and would
have to hide iry time. Well, the
old poople paid no attention to us
ch'ldrtn," but we knew they would
bridle cur aspirations if they knew
we had any bridal aspirations.
Ho we made the best nso we could
of our dollied advantages, by pull
ing the humikorebief for each other,
squeezing hands, indulging kiiteii
ieh love glances, saying pet words
and in fad, through the usual very
large assortment of very «iilv
tilings.
I wanted but a few months of
twenty and I also wanted Mary
June.
I warned her of danger an 1 pro
posed t! at we skip.
She objected ; and said pa would
not give us anywhere to stay. 1
insisted I could stay in a hollow
stump,eat frog mint, drink tt.-ur
i ant water and be happy with her.
She hesitated blushuland signifi
ed ihatshe was down with thesanio
complaint.
About day light next morning
we broke ranks and-started ta the
proachei’n house, without leave or
license, for we hadn’t asked leave
and we didn't knoyv license was
necessary. A mile from her fathe, ’s
yve ascended a hilt ar.d the sun
broke suddenly upon us. At the
moment that I turned to gaze at
the laminaJy, she was in the mid
die of a creamy sentence, in which
she called mo rose, or sugar plum
or a gii’ger-cake or a pan cake or
something eße that was powerful
nic‘>. In a moment she rightabout
ed, struck a cow trot f r home and
went blubbering the words : “I'm
going to my ma n a-ma-a-a-a-a ha
a a-a In vain dd I catch up and
beg. The more I talked the u-ore
ahe didn’t say anything but mama,
which she blubbered into at least
forty syllables. I had go to it
atone.
The matter was a profound niys
tery for fifteen years. She had
then besotne a wife and mother.
In October 1863,1 was stationed
on Janien’s Islai d, near a deserted
house I saw a box of old letters in
the bull.
One of them was from Mary
Jane to a friend, and the following
extract explained away the (b erop
ancy : ‘As we grow old yve delight
to r call the recollections of youth
ful folly. I once loved a gawky, tal
low faced “broth of a boy,’’ who
had neither energy money nor at~
trncikns. But I lovnl him with a
love that amounted to madness.
Wa left home to run away and get
married, and our having took

grin ! The point ot a cambric nee

on his countenance that was not
traced by wrinkles running hori
zontal,-perpendicular and at every
known angle, tangent ar.d direction,
while his lips strutted up and shut
the cavities of his nose arid his
month opened into the form of a
triangle. My love probably yvent
down his throat; at least il was
gone and forever. If that boy bad
not looked at tho sun I would not
now liave been the mother of James,

‘Don’t you know that you told

A Tramp's Revenge.

ter supper on tlio evening of the
