The Loss Of a Wife.

In comparison with the loss Of wife,
all other bereavements are trifing. The
wife! she who fills so large space in the
domestic heaven; she who busted herself
so unweariedly for the precious ones a.
round her; bitter is the tear that falls up
on her cold clay! You stand beside her
coffin and think Of the past. Itseems an
amber colored pathway, where the sun
shone upon beautiful aowers, or the stars
hung glittering overhead. Fain would
the soul linger there. No thorns are re-
membered save those your hands may un-
willingly have planted. Her noble ten
der heart lies open to your inmost sight.
You think of her now as all gentleness,
all beauty, and purity. But she is dead!
The dear hand that laid upon your bosom,
rests in the still darkness, upon pillow
of clay. The hands that have ministered
so, untiringly are folded, white and cold
beneath the gloomy portal. The heart
whose every beat measured an eternity
of love, lies under your feet. The flow
ers she bent over with smiles. bend now
above her in tears, shaking the dew from
portals that the vendure around her may
be green and beautiful.
There is no white arm over your should
er; no speaking face to look up into the
eyes of love; no trembling lips to muir
mur, 'Oh, it is so sad.
/ There is so strange hush in every
room, no light footstep passing around
/ No smile to meet you at nightfall. And
/ the old clock ticks and strikes, and it was
such music when she could hear it! Now
it strikes like knell on the hours through
which you watched the shadows of death
gathering upon her sweet face.
And every day the clock repeats that
old story. Many another tale it teleth
too, of beautiful words and deeds that are
registered above. Yet feel-Oh, how Of
ten-that the grave cannot keep her

a First-Rate Library.

Young man, have you a good library !!
No. Why not? I can't afford it. Why
can't you afford it! Because I'm too
poor, Do you smoke cigars or chew to-
bacco? Yes. How much do they cost
you per annum? a trife-a mere trife
only mere tride. How much do they
cost you each dag? Well, as am very
temperate, only about a dime for cigars.
At the end of the year, do you feel any
better than you would if you refrained
from the use cf tobacco! No, l can't
say that do.
Well, they cost you each day ten cents;
or, little over thirty-six dollars per an
mum. Oh, not so much; but stop, let me
soe-yes, you're right!-thirty six dol
lars a year Now, that sum would pur-
chase frst-rate library; you spend 1t,
for what-aye, for what? Do you COM
prehend the reason that you are too poor
to have a library-do you comprehend the
reason?- H5Hs0laIe Gazette.

A Good Joke---And Two of En-.

A Mail carrier on certain route re-
fused several times, short while ago, to
deliver the mails at post-ofice on his
route--he wanted his pay out of certain
moneys received at the post-ofice for
special purpose, and which the deputy
post-m aster, in the absence, too, Of his
senior, could not give. The carrier de-
sired to see the deputys authority for
acting as he did, and appeared i'll dis
posed to listen to reason. To aVenge
himself, he refused to deliver the mail, to
the no small Indignation Of the Journal
subscribers, among others. But last week
as he passed along, the deputy handed
him out document headed by the United
States Eagle, with his pinious spread, and
told him there was his authority for the
course he had taken, direct from the De-
partment The carrier opened the doc
ument, pretended to read, and handing it
back, declared it all right, and forked O.
yer the mail and has since left it with
commendable punctuality. The docu-
ment, however, was commission from
Brig. Gen. VIM. B. Greathouse. appoint
ing said deputy to a Workmanship in
the militia of the district Of Indiana!
Telling the above to one of the citizens,
he said it reminded him of an affair that
took place in the war of 1912. In Wes-
tern New York, poor fellow from the
country had been drafted to enter the
militia and fight for his native land and
the green graves Of his sires, sorely con-
trary to his natural inclinations. He
went to neighboring town to get rid of
military service. Awag of clerk in a
lawyers office told him he thought he
could Fix up something that would do,
and forthwith drew up singular docu-
ment, in which legal phrases, Latin,
Greek, &C., were freely mingled, and a
big seal applied, and handed it to him to
60 to out the quarters, and when the
names were being called, to step forward
and cry, 'hear ye, hear ye? three times,
and then present the document to the
General, and all would be right. The
honest fellow took it, aud at the appoint
ed day appeared on drill. The names
were called over, and General Bloom, FL
led with military glory, paraded up and
down the line like turkey cock, while
the names were being called. Suddenly
he was appalled, By the appearance of a
lean and lank individual stepping from
the ranks and saying, as he held the doc
ument over his head:
'Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!!P
/ The man stepned I'D to the General
and presented him the document. The
General opened it, viewed it right side
up, up side down, and crossways surround
ed by his aids, and finally handed it back
to the man, saying:
well, suppose it's some kind of a
habeas corpus, and We'll have to let the
fellow goP
The fellow made tracks quick with bis
paper, and was one of the chaps who
didn't serve in the war of I812.'-Erans
