A Coiiuiibial Controversy.
The bolt on the back door needed re-,
pairs for a long time but it was only the
other night that Mr Throeton had the
presence of mind to buy anew one
ani take it home. After supper he
hunted up his tools-j*removed the old
bolt and measured the location for the
new one. lie must bore some new holes
and Mrs. Throeton heard hit? rambling
about the kitchen, slamming, pulling
out drawers and kicking the furniture
She went to the head of the stairs and.
called out:
“Richard do you want anything !”
“Yes I do !” he yelled back, “I want
to know where in Texas is that co k*
screw.”
“Corkscrew.”
“Yes corkscrew V’
“ Why, we’ve never had one, Rich
ard.”
“Didn’t eh ? We’ve had at least a
dozen of ’em in the last two years, and
I bought one not four weeks ago. —
It’s always the way when 1 want any
thing.”
“Well, Richard, I know that 1 have
never seen a coikscrew in this house.”
“Then you are as blind as an owl in
dayliiiht for I’ve bought five or six or
seven. The house is always downside
up, anyhow, and I never cau find any
thing.”
“The house is as well kept as
any one of your folks can keep one,”
she retorted, growing real red in the
face.
“I’d like my mother here to show
yon a few things,” he said as hestre cit
ed his neck to I >ok on the high shelf >n
Lite pantry.
“Perhaps she’d boil her spectacles
with the potatoes again,” answered the
wife.
“Do you kcow who you a-e talking
to r
“Y T es, I do.”
“Well, you’ll be going for York State
if you don’t mind.”
“I’d like to see myself.”
“Look out, Nancy.”
“I’m afraid of no man that lives,
Richard ”
“I’ll leave you ”
“And I’ll laugh to see you go.”
“Nancy Throeton, I’ll apply for a di
vorce to-morrow. 11l tell the judge
that l kindly asked you where the gim
let was,and you said we’d n ver had one
which is a bold~t‘ace falsehood, as I cun
prove.”
“Gimlet. ”
‘ Yes gimlet.”
“Why . l know where there are
three or four You said corkscrew.”
“Did I '{” Well now I believe 1
did.”
“And you abused me like a dog be”
cause I wouldn’t stv a gimlet was a
corkscrew,” she sobbed, falling on the
lour ge.
‘ Nancy,” he said,tenderly lifting her
np.
“Oh, Richard !”
“Nancv.l’H go right out and kill my
self.”
“No you needn’t—l love yon still !
only —you know a gimlet is not a cork
screw.”
“It ain’t—it ain’t, Nancy; forgimme
and less be happy.
And that household is so quietly hap
py that a canary bird would sing its
head off if hung up in the hall.
Talio Care of the Boys.
Yes, fathers, and mothers, it is your
boys that need your most thoughful
care. It seems to be instinct with pa
rents to shield their girls from evil, to
keep them f.oui the sight and sound of
sinful things. What mother would

*‘ Truth Conquers All Tilings/*
Thirty vau Fifteen.
A man who hasn’t lived with his eyes
shut, gets up and relate* his experience
as follows :
At fifteen years I thought a man of
twenty was rather advanced in years.
At twenty five, I looked on eighteen as
a boy. To day it seems to me that
forty is not old.
I hve learned that the best friend
Of man is—a woman.
To satisfy yourself of the friendship
of a mail put it to test; to safely caunt
on the love of a woman 4© not test
it
I never have been able to decide
which of two lovers is the happier—
the one who deceives or the one who
is deceived. It would never do to be
both.
As we grow old, the more young
girls attract us. At eighteen, all age*'
please us ; at twenty-IVur we are often
in 10-e with a woman of thirty.thiee
or four. Probably, as we grow old and
gray we Bhall love only the young
girls.
Formerly,l was affected by a pathetic
tragedy, or by ceruiu sinking. Age
has come. I weep no longer, but I weep
less.
In friendship, I like resemblances—
in love, contrasts
When we fall in love we believe we
shall never fall out. When we have
fuller out we wrnder how we can fall in
as life advances, we acquire experience
but we lose illusions. I fear we lose
mure than we gain.
When I recall my frolics of eighteen
years—fur objects whieh deserved
them so little—-I ant sometimes regret
ful. When I think of the pleasufe I
found in committing them. I wish l was
as foolish agakn, sc that I might recom
mend them.
1 understand how one can become
tired of balls and soci *ty. I cannot
comprehend how we ca.n eve* 1 lose
the taste for love, muaie, and read
ing.
At the age of twenty. T thought, grey
hairs made a person appear quite old.
I don’t think so now—l don’t s®e
that it changers the physiognomy For
several months past I have found sev

Lofeoiettves vs^nplrrsilHon,
When the Nicholas railway was con -
tracted. in 1858, from St. Petersburg to
Moscow, the work was t]m u >d ;r con
tract with American engineers, and the
cars rid engines were supplied from
baitiuiore by the famous establishment
of the Wmans brothers. '1 he lluaian
priests oppose eve _ y modern innovate n,
and >f course they were down on the
railroad.
When the road wos opened tboy de°
termined to stop it, and so they went in
force to a point on the road ami set up
a holy picture to stop the new work of
the devil The train came slowlv along,
and the engineer, seeiug the Dicture
stand'ng on the track, thought there
must be a man behind it, and so eame
o halt. The assembled multitud •
raised a shout and the priests called out
that the saint was all powerful aud would
prevail against wickedness.
The officer in charge of the train
came out and took a survey of the itua
tion. '1 hen he told the engineer to run
back a quarter of a mile and bring the
train to a halt. Tte shouting was re
doubled and the priestspere in the most
rapturous delight. But their exultation
was soon turned into grief as the master
of ceremonies told the engineer, “put on
all teaui and go ahead, without regard
to consequences ” The engineer went
ahead, and down fell the holy picture
torn arm crushed by the wheels of an
American locomotive Modern civili
zation was triumphant and the priests
their and foollwers no longer shouted in
triumph.
An Eccentric German who (Spent

Josef li Hammerschmidt, of 96 Mont

Sitting I p with Her Boys.
Here and there throughout tlie vil
lage a few lights flicker liivc pale stars
throughout the darkness One shines
from an attic window, where a youth
ful aspirant or literary honors labors,
wasting the midnight oil at and the elixir
of his life in toil, Useless it may be,
save as patience and industry are gain
ed and give him a hold - upon eternal
happiness Another gleamed With a
trhastly light from a ' hamtno into which
death is entering aud life departing.
One light shines through a low cot
tage window, from which the eurtai’s
are pushed partially aside*, showing a
mother’s face, patient and sweet, hut
ear 'worn and anxious. The eyes gaz
ing through the night are faded and
sunken, but lighted with such love
only steals into the eyes of true and
saintly mothers, who watch over and
pray for their children ; who hedge
them in from the world’s temptations,
and make of them uoble men, a>d true
and hiving women. It is nearly mid
night, and the faded eyes are strained
to the utmost to catch the far off sight
of someone coming down the street. —
The mother’s listening ear loses no
souud, however slight, that breaks the
stillness that reigns around.
1 No form seen, no quick, step heard,
she drops the curtain si l wly and goes
back to the table, where an open book
is lyi-g and a half kn t sock. The cat
jumps up in her anair, and yawns and
shakes herself, and gradually sinks down
again into* easy repose. No one dis
put< s her possession of the easy chair.
Up and down toe little room the mother
walks, trying to knit, but vainly; she
can only think of her son and wonder
and imagine what is keeping him. Her
mind pictures the worst, Miif her h art,
sinks lower and lower. Gould the
tho' ghtleßs boy know but the
anguish he is causing, he would hasten
at once to dispel it *ith his presence
She trembles oow, as she fo :
an uncertain step is heard, a sound of
cuarse laughter and drunken ribaldry ;
her heart stands ill, and she grows
cold with apprehension. The sound
passes, and dies away in the distance.—
lhank heaven it is not he, and a glow
com s- over her. and once more her
heart beats quickly
Only for a moment, for the dock on
the mantel shows on its pallid lace that
it is afmnst mffoignt. Again the cur
tijio is drawn aside, and a.-at 1 the anx
ious hiving eyes peer into the darkness
Hark 1 a sound of tootsteps coming
neater ; a shadowy form, advanci g.
shows more ard more distinct; a cheery
whistle, a brisk light, step up the path/,
way. a throwing wide open of the door,
and the truant boy finds himself in his
mother’s arum welcomed an 1 wept over,
lie cnafes at tive gentle discipline; he
doesn't tike to be led by apron string- ;
but lie meets ft is mother’s gentle, ques
tioning gaze with one honest and man
ly. and makes a half unwilling ptomise,
and in after years, .hanks heaven again
and again that he lrd a mother who
watched over i*im and prayed for him.
He knows better than she, now, the
go.,d that was done by her sitting up
for her boy.
Marriage illaxhsis.
The fo’lowing marriage maxims
are worthy of more than a hasty read
ing :
1. Never scold atone another either
alone or in company.
2. Never both get angry at once,better
never get angry at all.
3. Never speak loud to one another
iinle-s the house is on fire.
5. Let each one strive to yield often
est to the wishes of the other.
9 Never find fault unless it is per
fcctly certain that a faul has been com
mitted; and then do not scold about it
7. Never t*uot with a past mistake.
8 Neglect the whole world besides
rather tjx&n 0 e another.
9. Never make a remark at the ex
pense of one vnnther; it is me*nness.
10. .Never part for a day without
leaving words to think of during ab
sence.
11- Never meet without leaving a
welcome.
12. Never let any fault you have
committed go until you have frankly
Confessed it and asked forgiveness.
13. Never let the sun go down upon
any anger or grievance.
14. Never forge the happiness of
early love.
15 Never sigh over what might have
been, but make the be*t of what is.
Chaageable Mails.

Who is this great man who is to re
furoi his own party by shaking off the
r o;ues who handicap it, the very men
who bring him forward and laud his
excellence ?
Well, my friends, there is not much
known, and the lntl is not encourag
ing. We, of Ohio, know him to be an
amivble. inoffensive geutleman, belong
ing to a class from w hich we select ex
ecutnrs, guardians, and sometimes conn*,
ty commissioners. [Laughter.] lie never
obtained an office that was pot thrust
upon l.itn ; he never held an office in
which he got beyond its merest routine
lie came out of the late war with a re.->
cord that one has to search for to find
—a good soldier enough, but not the
plumed Hennery ol Navarre his friends
iu)w claim. He came from Congress
without the ’'iterance of a sentence,
the introduction of a single measure,
while his votes are the votes of a train
ed partisan helping the parly on in all
its erronious legislation, extravagance
and fraud, lie is a good ma.i, of course
he is. I'or lie la ks enough force of char
acter to be bad. He is one of the most
masculine negatives created by a wise
Providence to fi'l churches and lead pi
ous women and children from the sin
ful ways of earth to the happiness of
heaven. We thank God for the mas

This cry of reform is as hollow and
faulseas the pretended claims to re
sumption. Had there been any honest
intent son the r*art of these leaders,there
was a man before the Cincinnati Con
vention who if nominated,, would have
conrtollcd the sympathy and commanded
thm support of tne people. I refer to the
l it * Secretary of Treasury, Mr. Bristow.
A coarse, able, and a brave man, he
saw his opportunity and took up reform
as a lawyer takes a case, or a surgeon a
cancer. He tracked corruption, as
I. many others did. to the door-sill of the
White House, but, unlike others he
boldy entered, and, while indicting the
President’s confidential friends, and
boon companions was the first to make
the soldier President tremble. But the
convention of reformers would not touch
the re'oruier. They the mild
Hayes, and possessing him, they are
happy.— From a Speech hfj Gen. A. S
Piatt at Macacheek, Ohio.

a little point . f law. S’po.-in you lived

S’posin’ you was to say to Johnson that
a splendid illustration of the superiority

s’posin’ Johnson was to say that that
was all bosh, then s’posin’ Johnson was

couldn’t hold with your eye, and you
fake it up, and he was to ask you to
come down to his place to settle the bef.

A Reminsicene of tieorge D. S*rc

In June 1837. 39 years ago, occur
red one of Geo. 1). 1 rentice’s teirlffe
street encounters on account of his keen,
unsparing lashing of men in the Louis
ville journal. Begin ding t his 1 h-ard
the oilier day a story which will inter
est your readers. In all of Prentice's
battles the majority of the people in
Louisville were angrily enlisted in syui
pahty with the great writer or the victim.
At the date L write ot there was eui*
ployed in the office of the Journal n
young Pennsylvanian,a co mpnsitor abou
fourteen years of age, of media n height
but of wonderful muscular build and
power. Work underway in the compil
ing loom when shots were r.oard in the 1
street in front and of cour.-e foreman,
typos, "subs,” and -devi’s,” ruJicd t<>
the windows to see. Just in front c*’
the office were Geo 1> Prentice and a
man named Boyd, who had exchanged
S’verai shots, and, clinching had fallen,
Prentice under, ani B *yd was reaching
for his bowie knife to end (he wuik.
Our young typo only saw that li’.s luvo 1
chief was near death, when dropping
on the floor a half,tilled stickof matter,ho
turned, and ished down the stairway to the
street, and through the crowd with the
impetuosity of a ”ad bul ! , and aimed a
blow that would have ended the fight.
But it did not —the iuGnded bl r.v didn t
Our hero Pelt a sharp, stinginir blow on
the left side of his neck, which brought
him to bis knees and found be lyid be t\
cut with a bowie-knife in the hands of
a young medical student there. Turn*
ing in an instant, the man dtew his
own knife and at tack ted hu assailant,
striking him a cut which passed aim >t
clear across the abdomen, and reeioved
a second cut in the left side. whicL v an
inch lower, would have reached the
heart and tin is bed Lis life A dozen
knives wore busy in an’instant, and in a
moment more the battle was over. The
young medical student was lying bathed
in his blood, as was also tho typo and
another victim of the latter’s knife.
Careful nursing and attendance thiough
a long and dangerous iiluosk
resulted in recovery of nil,
and no legal steps were taken in
the matter. The third man’s name L
knew nothing of, but (be typo was
James B. Steedman, now of Toledo, and
who was one of the Generals at the dis
astrous field at Ohickamauga.Lvho well
earned the rank of Major Geueral. and
whose neck now shows pi duly the mark
of the deadly knife of l)r. Tomlinson,
now of Hurrodsburg, Ky.Jhe lather of
two of the wives of Gen. William Worth
Belknap, oT whom your readers have
doubtless heard recently. In September
of the same year yftung Steedman 1-ft

The Ilog.
Of all the beasts that roams, the h>g
is the dirtiest. Ilogs is dirtier than a
crow, and a crow is dir tier than a skunk.
Hogs don’t have no hair onto’oui like
other fowls, tlmy have bristles. Brush
es are made of bristles.
, Hogs would rather lay in the mud than
‘onto a feather bod. That is the reason
they a r e always, most nearly all the lime
seen wallering in mud holes.
Hogs is got different kinds of meat on
’em which is ham, back bones, tendej
lines, shoulder, sausage meat .lard, hog
head, cheese, pig’s feel, smoked jowl*
pickled pork, souce and spare ribs.
l’a bought some spare ribs at the
butcher shop yesterday, and they were
the sparest ribs I ever picked on.
Ilogs is got brains and things like
human —so medical men say—and
next to human they are ti e most ir.tep
ligent (fall creatures.
I seed a hog in Barnum’s show iast
summer, who could play cards arid drink
whiskey.
Next day, I seed a lot of men in a
saloon settin’ around a table imitating
him.
In front of the saloon was a man lyio
j in the gutter, and a little further > n
I down the gu'ter was another hog waU
! lerin’ in the mud That was com uh-ivo
evidence to me that hogs and human be
j ins was on the same levil.
Hogs live mostly on wi at they can
! pick up ’speacia ly when they go into
other people’s garden or corn fields.
I logs has a good ’eel to do with poL
itlcs. Men got wuss when votin on a
hog law than they do at a Presidential
I election.
Hogs is animals with human brains
done up in hog skins and bristles.
They have all tho natural instincts of
humans ’cepte.v ’they don’t go to rris< n
fur lyin’ in tie gutter, which other:
i folks does.
I’ve written all about hogs 1 can
J think of now, ’eepten that if yen wmt
ito drive a hog. start hm in the opr os fe *
way from where you want him to g< ’
he’ll take the other road
i first rate. tt h vjored citizen of
j was going home one night
tipsy, for the first and last- time in his
life, as he protests, and m> doubt tm'v
when he met Prentice reeling font one
tide to the other. “Prent ioe,”ex* no';
ed the elated novice “Pm drunk !”•
Staggered anew by *he amaz'ng
nouucement, the veteran slowly (f
himself up, with the aid of a neighbor
ing picket, and Surveying his disguised
friend said, severely : "Well Josh, l
have Veen guiltv in mv time f many
scandalous thing* and some outrageous
ones, and some d— and me m ones, but
‘thank God, f never was drunk !’
