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 rest when evening comes and iter daugh ter is at large in the streets '( Frequent ing the village store, Ir. hanging about the door of the drinking saloon How many time is the son ol ten years old away from hr me at nightfall breath/ ing in worse malaria than the stagnant pools, from the rude talk of older boys or of coarse vulgar men? Out grow it. will they ? Do they l Now and then a boy poisoned in childhood by vici uis as soeiates, does JOedown the poison, and comes out clean a and pure man ; but look over any community in search of tho young men without guile, whose souls and bodies are clean, and are they the rule or exception ? Scrutinize the l sisters of these young men, aud do you expect to find them sp tless among the the exception '( [lt is the curse of the world that its boys are cherished the sacredly than its girls ; they,whose temptations to physical vices are tiie strongest, have the least duDe to forti fy them against evil. Do not say that because of the difference in their na tures, boys and girls cannot be trained by the same standard of morali'y It is a base libel upon manhood, fostered so long in the world that it has come almost to be believed. If boys have greater temptations so have they strong er powers of resistance,if these powers were only cultivated; but too often are they wholly neglected. Do not trust to the future to bring your boys out right,for it will ceriainiy bring them outsca red. Neither trust them being above temp tation. for infants of angels and Arch' angels would in their infancy be sub ject to temptation ! Kn iw always where they are and what they are doing and what are their inmost thoughts ; and this not by prying, tyrannic 1! over sight of their movements, but by such a loving, yearning inteiest for tbeir vvelL tu'ng that they love to open the*r souls yours will be Pv -- 1 These boys cf vou wil lexpect them to bring y.i , , less, high minded girls In them, how on y u 't.nk it honorable to give less in return, than Lign minded boys? *‘ 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 eral. 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 Seven Hours at u Buughole. Josef li Hammerschmidt, of 96 Mont rose avenue, Brooklyn, who recently spent seven hours at the buughole of a cask of precious wine to prevent the es cape of the pit cious liquor, was married yesterday to a widow in Hoi** Tnnitv Chuivh in Montrose avenue. Ham merschimdt’s custom had been, when a cask of wine arrives from Germany, to shut himself in his cellar with his fa vorite dog and a bunch of bologna sau. sage and chee.-e, and spend the day bot tling the wine. On t'his bottling day he refused to a low any one to remain 1 in the house except him elf. His house- j keeper spread his lunch in the cellar.put J i’is dog her*, too. and went away j When Ilammersehmidt went, below he ; found the dog was rating his lunch ' He angrily took hold of the ani mil, tied j one end of a r >pc t > its i.oek and the oilier to the spigot of the ca.-k nd rais ed a cltri to beat him. ’i he dnj jump ed the full length of rope, and took the ; spigot with him The wine ppm ted out in a stream, and Ham-.Herschuiid', dr p- S ptng his club, rau to the buughole clap.- ' fling his band over it, began to cry hit ! help, but no one was in the house to j heed the echoes of his voice died inside 1 ot the cellar. For seven hours lie call ed for help, and bmd back the wine ; At length, iate in the afternoon, h : s j cries were heard, and he was relieved when he was well nigh exhausted. Tb j V&tfUd the spigot were going arou j mind to run no mord ‘\Oiiq Gerrna . s himself to the widow, who accepted I him. —jYetc iork &un. 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. ‘The mails have changed, madam,” lespondi'Q the clerk at the general de livery window of the pst offiee t? an applicant for a letter. “Yes indeed.’ said the old lady, looking straight into ♦he e'erk’s eyes “You are right in saying the males have changed.

Well, my friends, there is not much known, and the lntl is not encourag ing.

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 Bite.

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.

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.

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.

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.
