Little Husbands and Big Wives.

The veteran wag and patriarch OF the press,
NJ. M. Noah, takes off the common propensity
to intermarriage of big and little people:
Can any of the acute philosophers who disco
yer in every mans physical conformation the
causes OF all his actions, explain TO us the rea-
son of this Why will little man as general
rule, select the biggest woman he can find as
matrimonial partner Is it that contrarieties are
reconciled and extremes meet in love or is it
that the man of pigmy proportions is more amb-
tous in his welded desires, more daring in his
aspirations than his taller fellows Does he add
a cubil to his stature by marrying a woman whom
he can "look up to ?" Does he take "wider
views" of wedock than others, or can nothing
but stupendous conquest satisfy his expansive
soul
There is some foresight certainly in his choice.
for the bonds of wedlock are sometimes excee-
dinghy heavy, and hard to be borne, and it is well
to have helpmate who is able to sustain more
than an equal share of the burden. But then,
when he is exempt by reason of his corporal
lack from mBny of the Ellis that flesh is heir to,
why should he rush into full liability by an ali-
ance with one who is subject TO more than due
proportion of these ills 2? He solemnly prom
iscs to "love and cherish" her too! He cherish
her. The idea is ridiculous 1t requires two
efforts on his part-a right and left side effort
to embrace her In a conscientious man of
full size the vow would be a rash one-in this
case it amounts to constructive perjury. As well
might pert bantam offer his services to cher
ish an oyergrown hen turkey. How proud he
is of her He attends her to market each NOR
ming, and helps to purchase and arrange her
stock for the day, and it is amusing to see him
fdgetng around bis Ttiantic bride When
standing in conscious dignity beside her, he Dor
rows importance from the contact, and reminds
you of the spirited frog that sought to swell him

The Ups and Downs OF life.

The New York correspondent Of the New Or
leans Bulletin relates the following:
At chance visit New Years day, became
acquainted with quite bit of romantic truth H.
Illustrative of tie ups and downs of life. In Bee-
ker St, in the midst of considerable poverty, is
now living one orthc love victims of Aaron Burr
who resides with her mother. Al the time Burr
became acquainted with the former, the mother
was living in great splendor with her husband,
who was an extensive merchant The daughter
had been tastidlously educated aud decately
nurtured no pains or expense had been spared
in her education She became infatuated with
Burr. and lived with him as his mistress. The
stem broke her fathers heart: he neglected his
business. and in wear or two died, leaving his
widow bare competency. The wonderful fas-
citations and seductive eloquence OF her daugh-
ter's seducer won even her; and she accepted
an invitation to become one Of the family. She
entrusted to Burr the remnant OF her property.
At the latters death, il came out that the compe-
tency was wrecked, and for years, mother and
tIauGhier-excellently connected, and with blood
relatives rolling in wealih-hase struggled as
sempstresses for living The daughter yet
preserves the name Of Mrs. Burr, and is evident

TEeEEES,

The power Of truth is irresistible. We may
run from it, but we cannot fight successfully a.
gainot it. No one by resistance ever made the
truth false 1t is possible to resist the truth, or
rather TO turn aside from its influence, but it ev-
er remains the truth still Like God, the truth
is eternal and Interchangeable. When truth is
permitted to exert its haIlowed power upon US, it
is sure to benefit US, but when we strive to push
it from us, we lose by the effort Lights light !:
a man may close his eyes, or shut himself up in
darkness, but all around him and in his hiding
place. the light is still shining. Those who de-
sire not to walk in the light are workers of
evil while those who wish to be governed by
the truth seek it, earnestly and continually, that
they may be thus governed. 1t is bad sign to
see men striving to get away from the truth,
from whatever motive; 'honesty is the best pol
icy - and We love 10 have all come to the light
that 'their deeds may be nude manifest whether
they are good or evil Men who know they
are doing wrong think 10 hide by feignng igno-
rance, or making apologies, excusing them
selves, or by other subterfuges Of hypocrisy;
but ifthey would let the truth have its way, they
would soon be ashamed of themselves, and be
led to abandon their evil way. The world is
blessed with the word Of truth, as with the light
Of the sun; but how are they welded to error,
and ariU cling to their idols! They seem to think
the truth will suffer by their delinquency Not
so. 1t must increase, but they will be sure to
decrease. However they may think on the sub
iect. the friends, advocates, and lovers of truth
will come of 'morc than conquerors'' in the end.

Farewell Farewell! kind, generous heart,
Thy earthly pilgrimage is DER,
twas thine TO act noble part.
But thou cans't act thy part no more
For IN the tomb thou sleepest now,
ana GOODNESS sits upon thy brow.
our hearts with grief are running Ger
To think that thou shouldst yield thy breath
Upon that far unhallowed shore
~ suffering, MISERY, gold and death;
Without one kindred by thy bed
To smooth the pillow for thy head.
Thy heart was ever pure and warm.
And virtuous deeds have marked thy way;
Thou never did'st one being harm.
And those who knew thee best will say
That thou dids't never do one deed
To cause human heart 10 bleed.
Thy friends and kindred, all deplore
Thy fate in that far distant land
And sigh to think that we no more
Shall clasp thee with friendly hand:
And Thy poor wife, and children, moan
For thee, the Idol of their home
They weep to think that for their sakes
That thou dIdst brave those dangers dread.
And thy deyotedness but makes
Them mourn thee more, now thou art dead
Ana when TO Heaven they breathe a PRAYER
They feel that thou art resting there.
These holy thoughts must soothe their grief
And hush their wailings of despair,
And look to Heaven in fond belief
And trust that thou art resting there,
Where suffering want, disease and pain
Comes not and friends shall meet again.
Farewell! and though wen see no more
Thy smile, or hear thy voice on Earth,
We trust to meet thee on that shore
Where purer feelings have their birth,
And higher. nubler spirits dwell,
And friends no more shall sigh farewell

Mr.. GRIswoLD, Of this city, received lettor
Ter of the l4th inst, who was on board the Eu-

vessel left San Francisco in October, with 1876
passengers, for Panama had a good sailing
breeze for ten days, and ten days was almost
constantly becalmed After being twenty DAYS
out it was found that they were short of water,
and the passengers were put upon short allow
auce 1t soon rained, and plentiful supply was
caught. After some days more their provisions
began 10 fail, when meeting Of the passengers
was held, and a committee appointed, who, after
an Investigations reported provisions enough, on
halt allowance for fifteen days only. After ten
days more, no land appearing, another meeting
was called by the committee, and ratious rodu-
ced one third more. The water by this time had
become scarce and roPy, the sea-biscuit wormy,
and starvation began TO stare the crew the face;
there was great bitterness and cursing, and some
praying. On the 30th of December, land was
discovered. MIR, GriswoLd says there was great
joy. The pieces Of bread pork, and other bits
Of their scauty rations which had been hid away
for a final death struggle with hunger, were ca
gerry sought and eat BY each passenger. They
were six days after that IN working tho vessel to
land, so perfectly calm was tie weather, and du-
ring this time suffered immensely from hunger
The ship had to be sold or mortCaged to pur-
chase provisions, and most Of the passengers de-
serted her at Acapulco, although 400 miles from
Panama.

SAFETY OF STEAM TRAvEL-Dr. Lardner,
in a volume of 40 pages on the subject OF steam
travel, gives a table which is very interesting
though. unfortunately, some of its unfavorabe
conclusions are far from holding good in our
own country. He says that
'In every mile Travelled, the loss of life has
been only to II ,G6l 467-cqual 70 going round
the world 600 times, and the reception of any
injury whatever, only as to 7,350,738, or about
300 times around the world. From the chapter
on the causes of accident, it appears of all acct
dents beyond the control of passengers, sc per
cent. arise from the collision Of trains; 80 per
cent. from defects in wheels, aXlcs, or rails )
per cent for switches; 3 per cent. fer cattle On
the line, and per cent. from the bursting Of en-
zine boilers Of accidents produced by the i'm
prudence of passengers, % per cent. occur from
improper place or posture "a per cent. from lea
wing train in motion; II per cent from jump
inc off; II per cent. from crossing the track in
cautiously; per cent, for getting out on the
wrong side, and per cent. from landing aru-
Giles into train when in motion. OF these ac-
cldents, 81 per cent. are fatal 1t will be per-
ceiyod that trains running out of their usual
time, are less safe than regular trains and that
a passengers safety depends much on his always
being in his place in due time"
