THE DYING WIFE.
Ur the (tern upon my bottom,
Let me feci her mrl warm breath;
Tor a •trots* chill o'er me u*****,
And I know that thin ia tloath
I would treat* upon the treasure-
Mooronly given ere I go—
Fed her rosy dimple finger*
Wander o or my cheek of anew.
I am pawing through the water*,
Hut a bleated abort* nppuurs;
Kneel boaide me, ImalNtiid, dearest,
last nn* kiaa away thy teara.
■Wreath* with thy grief, my hnalrand.
Suit e from midnight until day,
It may leave an angola bieaaing
Whim It vaniabca away.
l alt the getu reat on my boaom,
Tla not long ahe can lie there;
See! how to my heart aim nestles,
Tla the pearl 1 love to wear.
If, in after yean, Wide thee,
Hit* another in my chair,
Though her voice be sweeter music,
Ana her face than mine* more fair—
If aohartib call thee “Father 1"
Far more beautiful than this,
Love thy Ant-born! Oh, my hnaband!
Turn not from the motherli-w!
TeU her sometimes of her mother—
Too may call her by my name!
Shield her from the winds of sorrow;
If ahe errs, oh! gently Manic.
Lead her sometimes where I'm sleeping—
I will answer if ahe calls,
And my breath will atir her ringlets,
When my voiee in blessing falls.
Then her soft blue oye*a will brighten,
And she'll wonder whence It came;
In her heart when year* pass o'er her;
She will find bur mother’s name.
It ia said that overy mortal
Walks between two angels here;
One reoortls the- ills, hut blots if,
If, before the midnight drear,
Man repenteth; if uncailueUod,
Then he at ala it for the skies;
And the right-hand angel weepetll,
Bowing low, witli veiled eyes,
I will b her right-hand angel,
Keating up the good for heaven;
Striving Unit the midnight watches
Find no misdeeds unforgivon.
Vou will not forget me, husband,
When I'm sleeping *neath the wall
O! love the jewel to us given,
Aa 1 love thee -uext to Oikl 1

cal P’
RUTH FOSTER’S HERO.
Ruth Foster was a very pretty girl. She
was a slight, brown-haired beauty, with a
voice like a bird, and a pair of blue eyea
that might have melted the heart of a
stoic. There was not an unmarried man
around Logtown—the scene of my story—
who did not fuirly worship Ruth, and con
sidered her the incarnation of beauty and
sweetness; not one of them but would have
risked his life in any perilous adventure to
win a kiss from her lips. Much were the seuti
rnenta of the unmarried men, and I doubt
very much whether nine-tenth* of those
already joined in the holy bonds of matri
mony would uot have been willing to sun
der the aforesaid Minds immediately, and
kneel ut Ruth’s feet if by so doing they
might stund on even terms with the rest of
her suitors.
The other ladies of Logtown failed to
see anything in Ruth worthy of particular
attention, and declared themselves un
able to account for the infatuation of the
men. Whs not her face freckled ? Did
not her nose turn up ? And was not she
an insufferable oonceited little thing, and
not a bit better than she might be ? To
these nuostions the ladies of Logtown res
ponded with one voice in the affirmative.
Nevertheless Ruth was not greatly dis
tressed in consequence of the opinion
which she knew they entertained of her.
With a coquetish toss of her pretty head
she remarked to herself that they only
thought so liecause they were envious.
When she said this she was looking in the
1 mirror, and I grieve to say that she was
well aware how charming was the image
she depicted in its depths. It would have
seemed much better in her as the heroine
of the story to have been exceedingly mod
est and demure, and not ut all aware of
her own attractions; unfortunately she bail
been told too many times that she was
handsome not to feel thoroughly convinced
of it.
So she went on the even tenor of her
way, admired by the men and envied by
the women, and flirting desperately when
ever she came across any person good look
ing enough to render a flirtation enter
taining.
But Ruth hod no intention of marrying
—at least not around Logtown. She was
of nn inspiring aud romantio turn of j
mind anil desired t< / marry none hut a !
hero. She pictured ,to herself an indi
vidual with dark lusU-ous eyes, a jet black
moustache, a low thrilling voice, and
plenty of money. She supposed that this
ideal personage would be exceedingly
strong and courageous—able to overpower
a grizzly in a hund-to-hand encounter, and
perfectly willing to undertake any sueli
little exploit whenever she should request
it. Among her many suitors there was no
one who in any way approached this ideal.
Bob Sykes, who she looked upon as the
most desirable of those already at her feet,
whs young, rather good-looking, and the
owner of a rich elnith, but he was of a
fearfully practical disposition, did not un
derstand the urt of sentamentalizing by
moonlight, and squinted slightly out of
hi left eye. Ruth hod made a solemn
vow, that she never would, under any cir
cumstances, marry a man who squinted.
She could not bear to think of ever be
coming known to the world as Mrs. Bob
Sykes, and it must be confessed that this
application wus by no means so romantic
ns the one which she hoped that her hero
would bear, namely, Fitz Verde do Vere
Lacy. So she waited patiently for her
hero, who, in due course of time, mode
his appearance. He was a man fresh from
the city of New York, who was reputed to
be immensely wealthy, and who came to
Logtown for the purpose of examining
some quarts loads, in which the company
ho was acting as agent proposed to invest.
He realized Ruth’s ideal in every respect,
with the slight exception that his name was
not Fitz Verde do Vere Lacy, but Reginald
Mortimer.
Ruth first Raw him at the ball given by
the proprietor of the Wobbletrap Hotel, at
which Logtown had gathered all its beauty
and obivniry. He wus introduced to her;
they danoea togethor two or three times,
and’ fell in love. At the supper-table he
occupied a seat direetly opposite Ruth, and
while investigating the mysteries of roast
turkey, mince pie, sandwitebes and pound
cake, he took frequent occasions to feast
his eyes upon her beauty. From the way
in which he scowled at a waiter who was
dilatory in responding to his request for a
turkey'leg Ruth felt convinced in her in
most soul that ho was a man who feared
no earthly peril.
When she retired that night, or rather
morning, she lay awake a long time, and
sighed frequently as she thought of Regi
nald. Reginald also lay awoke and sighed
and groaned as though he was experienc
ing inteuse agony. His sighs, however,
were not caused so, much by the tender
passion as by the fact that while gazing
abstractedly at Ruth he had consumed en
tirely too much turkey and coke for a
young man of a dyspeptic turn.
I will not dwell upon the manuer in
which their acquaintance ripened, and
the mutual passions increased, but will
merely state that before the expiration of
two weeks matters had approached a fo
cus, and a proposal was imminent. The
ladies of Logtown were very much shocked,
and Bob Sykes was sorely grieved tit the
facility with which this stranger secured
the affections of Ruth; the firmer pro
nounced it soandalous, and the latter gave
vent to many profane and wicked expres
sions, and finally sought sympathy and
consolation in the society of Fannie Myrtle
-a young lady who had been endeavoring
to captivate him for some time.
One Saturday evening Reginald and
Ruth were alone in the moonlight that il
luminated the scene in the rear of the pa
ternal Foster’s mansion. They were not
seated among the flowers, for there were
no flowers there, but upon a pine log
which lay a short distance from the house.
Near at hand were thick clumps of bushes,
and not far away the pine forest spread its
dark mantle along the hill.
Reginald lmd just made known his love,
and received for his answer a whispered
“yes,” that sounded more sweetly to his
ears than the ehime of silver bells. With
arms that clasped and lips that met with
thrilling touch they sat, their souls steeped
in the wild ecstaoy of love’s first young
dream. The night breeze swept by them
with gentle caresses, the moonbeams
streamed around them in silvery splendor,
aud from a far-off tree a solitary owl hoot
ed derisively; but engrossed with one
another’s society they heard none of these
things.
As Reginald was assuring her for the
fiftieth time tlmt he would cheerfully die
for her sake. Ruth suddenly grnspetl his
arm with a shriek of terror, and exclaimed:
“Look there!”
Gazing in the direction of her pointing
finger he saw something that filled his
heart with horror. From a thick clump of
bushes not more than twenty yards fkun
where they sat, u liu-gc animal issued and
came rapidly towards them with crouch
ing, shambling motions, nnd giving vent
meantime to fearful growls.
Reginald Mortimer saw at oneo that the
approaching animal was either a grizzly
or the ghost of one. As ho did not be
lieve in ghosts he concluded that it was a
bona fid* grizzly, and when Ruth threw
lier arms around his neck and exclaimed
in quivering uceents, “Save me Reginald!
save me!” he evinced a stronger inclina
tion to save himself.
Hastily unwinding her arms he departed
! from the scene of danger at a rate of speed
that would have tanked the capabilities of
a race-home to Hurpasn, panning not to
look behind until he Lund himself un
harmed iu his own room at the hotel,
from which, I msv as well mention here,
he took his final departure the next morn
ing in the 4 o'clock stage.
Almost dead with terror, Ruth saw
herself thus deserted and knew that the
horrible monster waa approaching nearer
and nearer. Wildly, thrillingly, her
shrieks ran ont upon the still night air.
Hudilenly a manly form came dashing
np to her rescue, brandishing an axe, ana
yelling in a way which might easily have
frightened a score or more of grizzlies into
convulsions.
There con be no doubt but that the
grizzly was dismayed by the appearance of
this reinforcement, for the effect produced
upon him was sudden and markable in the
extreme. He seemed at once to fall into
several pieeea. The frame of a youth arose
from the ground, and the fact was revealed
that all the commotion had been caused
by Ike Foster, Ruth's fourteen yesr old
brother, who had possessed himself of an
old bear skin, belonging to his father, with
the benevolent design, os he afterwards
expressed it “of having a little square
fun."
Ruth, however, did not become aware
of this circumstance until somo time after
ward, ou the arrival of the person with the
axe, she exclaimed:
“Saved! Oh, Bob!” and fell fainting in
his arms.
I suppose that many of my readers have
no doubt lieen anticipating some such cat
astrope as this; and have waited patiently
for a moment when, Ruth and Bob should
fall into another’s arms, become reconciled,
the one to the fact that her hero squinted,
the other to the circumstance that he had
been completely “run out” by the dash
ing Reginald Mortimer, and in a word
to forget, forgive, get murried and be hap
py.
If any such supposition lias been formed
it is certainly incorrect. This is not a ro
mance, but a simple recital of the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, and
therefore, however strongly I might feel
disposed to end it in a different ■ c, I
must adhere strictly to the facts.
800, as I exclaimed once before, when
he found himself completely vanquished
by the new eomerin the contest for Ruth’s
love, he took himself to Miss Fannie
Myrtle. The young lady consoled
him so effectively that with the inconsis
tency which I grieve to say characterizes
the entire male sex lie forgot all about his
previous passion and eventually conducted
Miss Myrtle to the hymenial altar.
Ruth was evidently mistaken when she
supposed thut she was fainting into the
arms of her own faithful Robert, The in
dividual who came so fearlessly to her res
cue was not Bob Bykes but old Murtin; the
wood-chopper, a blear-eyed anil nearly su
perannuated Celt, who never entertained a
passion for anything in his life except a
whiskey bottle.
When Ruth recovered, she embraced
him fervently, and called him “dear Bob,"
and wasted a good deal of tenderness on
him before she discovered her mistake;
but no affair of the heart ever grew out of
it; there was no wedding, aud Ruth still
exists iu a state of single blessedness.
HER SPRING HAT.
How the Average Woman Conitracta Her
Head Gear.
A woman who is considering tho matter
of her spring hat is an interesting subject
of contemplation. First she buys u straw
frame that looks as if it hail been struck
by it hurricane, and then sat down ou by
nn entire coroner’s jury. After that., when
she rides in a street ear, she drinks in the
details of every spring hut thut outers and
drinkN them off by heart, and does metal
sums over the cost of the ribbon, mid
makes up her mind to have flowers in hers
like those worn by the woman in the cor
ner, and luce like that gaudy looking crea
ture iu the middle. And when she walks
down the streets and studies all the hats
that come along, and when u woman passes
her with one on, she twists her neck around
to see how it looks behind, and is disgust
ed to see that the woman is also dislocat
ing her neck to see how alio trims her hat.
When she arrives in front of a milliner}'
store she lingers until she lias analyzed all
the spring hats in the window, and she de
termines to trim hers nineteen different
ways, aud decides not to have flowers like
the woman who sat in the eorner. Then
she shoots into the store and asks to see
hats with the air of a person who lias a
whole female seminary to rig out with
eighty dollar head-gear. She examines
every hat in the establishment, overhauls
ton bushels of flowers, gets about twenty
dollars worth of work out of the sales
woman, and then says she will look farther.
Then she goes homo with her mind fixed
on thirty-eight or nine different styles in
which she wants to trim her hut. After
awhile she begins to think she ought to
have a feather in it, and she passes two or
three sleepless nights trying to decide
whether to put one on or not. At lust she
resolves she will. Then she lies awake for
two more nights endeavoring to determine
whether it shall be red or blue. She fixes
on blue. She buys the trimming and sews
it ou in seventy successive positions, her
mind filled with the deepest anxiety as to
whether the feather should go on the right
side, the left side, or on top. She puts it
on the right side, but just then Mrs.
Brown posses the front window with a
feather on the left side of hcr’s and so she
changes it. Tho next morning Min. Fer
guson calls, and her feather is on the right
side, and then another change is mode.
At church the next day Mrs. Smith had
feathers an both sides, and Mrs. Johnson
lias one on top. Then more sleepless
nights and more painful uncertainty. At
last, iu utter despair, she takes the'hat to
a milliner and pays ten dollars to have it
trimmed. When it. comes home she pro
nounces it "hateful,” and picks it all to
pieces, and broods over it, and worries and
frets, and loses her appetite, and feels life
to be a burden for a week or two longer,
until suddenly she hit* the right thing,
and beoomes once more serene and happy,
and puts the hat on and goes ont to make
a million of other women miserable, be
cause. their hats are not trimmed exactly
like hers. Asa wife, woman is a blessing;
as a mother, she is irn inestimable boon;
as an organizer of spring hats, she is sim
ply an object of compassion.
A student who secretly droppud a piece of pa
per, on which tin* word “moukey" was written in
largo letters, iu the cap of a professor against
whom he had a spite, told the joke to all his class
mates. Tho next day the professor said to the
class, in Hand and polite tones, “Gentlemen I
have to thank one of votir number for the eoortcav
of dropping his card in my tap yesterday.” that
student was called monkey ever after.
Marriage has conic to be looked upon in In

cents for steady customers.
A sure way to turn good people l * heads is to j
