A city editor says that man in N. York
got himself into trouble by marrying two
wives. A Western editor replies by assur-
ing his cotempory that good many men
in Michigan have done similar thing by
only marrying one. A village Editor re-
torts that quite number in his acquaintance
found trouble enough by barely promising
to marry one without going any further.

'Jehosophst boys just look at that
thar exclaimed Timothy Snuggs, the
other day, holding up magnifccntly en-
veloped letter to his shopmates. The let
ter he had just received from the hands
of the penny post, and it was really pret-
ty thing, and was directed in a neat fine
hand as follows -
Timothy SNuGGs, ESQ.
At Brown q Smiths Carriage Shop.
Cincinnati OHIO.
Before 90 farther | had better explain,
that Timothy is an apprentice boy at
Brown & Smiths Carriage Mandatory
His age is eighteen, and he had always
worked upon firm, and had never been
more than ten miles away from home, un-
til he came to the city to learn the trade,
which was about month ago. As may
be supposed he was rather green as to city
customs, and very easily imposed upon
He was, however, of such aplessant dis
position and bore himself SO manly to-
wards his shop-mates, that they did not
seem disposed to run him., as is general
ly the case in city shops with country lads,
though they could not resist occasionally
playing off upon him, little joke, just
for mutual merriment and fun.
For several days previous to the above
occurrence, valentines had been heprin
eipal theme OF conversation among tht
hands in the shop, and some curiosity wa
manifested 10 know who would receive
the first one. Timothy had but little t.
say on the subject, never having received
such thing in all his life, and KNOWN!
nothing about them save what he ha'
heard in the shop.
When the penny-post entered the shol
that morning, all eyes we're anxiously to
wards him, to see il he had any valentines
He had but one and that was for Timoth,
Snuggs, and as soon as. Timothy sot hi
eyes upon it, he made the expression, 'Je
hosophat boys, just look at that thar
why what that Tim ? said one of th
workmen, in apparent wonder.

While papa Omps with Allie.
There, take the hat and gloves, and bring
The slippers, warm and soft
While bounds the babe, with laugh and spring,
In those loved arms alOft;
And let each nook some comfort yield
Each heart with love be warm,
For him whose firm, strong hands shall shield
The household gods from harm,
Our love shall light the gathering gloon;
For DER all earthly hope,

A glad, rejoicing group;
And through the twilight hour Of joy,

ADVICE TO HOUSEWIVES.

Britannia should be first rubbed gently

washed in warm suds, and rubbed with
soft leather and whiting Thus treated,
it will retain its beauty to the last.
New iron should be gradually heated at

heat, it is not likely to crack.
1t is good plan to put new earthen-
ware into cold water, and let it heat grad
ually until it boils-then cool again.
Brown earthen-ware particularly. may be
toughened in this way. A handful of rye

will not be destroyed by acid or salt.
Clean a brass kettle Just before using it
for cooking, with little salt and vinegar.
The oftener carpets are shaken the lon
ger they will wear; the dirt that collects
under them grinds out the threads.
If you wish to preserve fine teeth, al
ways clean them thoroughly after you
have eaten your last meal at night.
Wollens should be washed in very hot
suds, and not rinsed. Lukewarm water
shrinks them.

a prodigious improvement to boil and
skimit before you use it, Ittakes out the
unpleasant, raw taste. and makes it almost

Never allow ashes to be taken up ir

A boisterous shout followed, while poor
Timothy, disappointed almost beyond en-
durance, and vexed at the merriment OF
his shop-mates, stood, some minutes,
transfxed to the stool. Josh picked up
the Valentine, and exhibited it all around.
1t contained a picture of one of the fat
test kind of Ethiopia's daughters, whose
nose had been well Aattened, that her
eyes, in fine frenzy rolling might show
to the better advantage. Her arms were
outspread, and above her head were the
following words:
"Cum rest on dis buzzum, my own stricken dear,
Wild desc arms I'll hug you; you hab muffin to fear "
After this poetry had been read by Josh,
in the most emphatic manner, the work.
men commenced running Timothy about
having black sweetheart; but he aver.
red that he hadn't talked to black wo-
man while he had been in town. 1t was
then charged that a 'cullo'd pusson' had
met him somewhere and fallen in love
with him, and having chosen him for her
Valentine, it necessarily followed that
some day she would be his welded wife
This somewhat reused the 'dander' oi
Timothy, and he 'swow'd' that he would
never speak to niger woman again, i
he died by it.
After taunting the poor fellow for ar
hour or SO, Josh let slip the secret. HI
told Tim that his shopmates had sent him
his first valentine to sound his love affairs,
and that if he did not wish them to have a
laugh at him, he must when he received
valentine in future, let no one see its con.
tents. He will no doubt profit by the ad.
vice.
The colored lady was placed in charge
of Josh, who has no doubt by this time
forwarded her to some lovesick swain, tc
bring him to bis senses or make him love
his sweetheart more. The richly emboss'
ed envelope with the 'poppies' all un-
harmed, was placed upon the wall, above
Tim Snugg's work bench, 10 remind him
daily of his "FirSt Valentine"
