We have published the following article be-

that we cannot forego the pleasure Of repeat
ing it.
MY WIFE is THE CAUSE OF 1T.
1t is now more than forty years that Mr.. l.

morning, on his way to H sSir,' said the
doctor, the weather is very frosty; will you not

My wife is the cause Of it. had been in the
habit of meeting some of our neighbors every
evening, for the purpose of playing cards We
assembled at each others shop, and liquors were
introduced. After while we met not so much
for playing as for drinking, and used to return
home late III the evening, more or less intoxi.
Gated My wife always met me at the door, at.

Il returned in such plight about four o'clock
in the morning. She met me at the door with

Boston Post says:
sit is highly probable that at least one Of ths,
men who went over Niagara Fails might have
been saved but for the obstinacy OF those who
tried to save him. Mr.. Patton, of Lockport,
incurred the expense of hi,ing livery express,
and, taking half dozen men with ropsa and
tackle, went to the Falls and earnestly entreat-
ed the privilege Of stretching his long cable
across the river, but was unceremneous'y thrust
aside. He had rope Of ample atseng'b, with q
windass to tighten it. He had also arranged
ON the rope pulley, with smaller cords attach
ed, by which to draw him ashore, when he had
become lasheo securely to it.
