How to dispose of an Unfaithful Wife.

A circumstance lately occurred near Rad
clife, Lancashire, England, which excited
much gossping during the Christmas holidays.
A young couple tired of matrimonial bliss,
suffered some interruption in consequence of
rumor that the beloved spouse was on terms Of
had been admitted into the family as lodger.
The husband, however, being a sensible man,
resolved that he would manifest no difference
in his outward department until his suspicious
were confirmed by uccuar demonstration. He
then solicited from the foreman of the estab-
lshmeni where he was employed, permission
to stay from his work for fortnight. He rep
resented to his wife that he had LOST his situa-
lion, and proposed lha, they should 90 10 Aus
tralja. She expressed her concurrence, aud
the only difficulty that presented itself to her
mind, was with respec, to John the lodger.
The husband was prepared for this contIngen-
cy, and proposed that John should accompany
them, TO which he ultimately consented. The
preliminaries being arranged, and the house,
hold furniture sold, the whole party proceeded
TO Liverpool in order to take passage TO Aus
traIia. The husband, instead OF taking berths
for three persons, only contracted foriwo. by
an arrangement with the captain, he was per-
miued to 90 70 sea with the other passengers,
and unperceived by his wife and her paramour,
he got on hoard the steam tug when it parted
from the ship, and returned TO Liverpool, leay-
ing his wife and John to pursue their way to
the anlipodes. Perhaps il may be supposed
that this was rather expensive mode Of get
ting quit of an unfaithful wife. The sequel Of
the story proves the contrary, for John bad de-
posted ESQ in the hands Of the husband, till

The Trial Trip of the First Locomotive

Major Horatio Allan, the engineer of the
New York and Erie railroad, in a speech
made during the recent festival occasion, gave
the following account of the first trip made by
a locomotive on this continent
when was it! Who was it, And who
awakened its energies and directed its move
rnents 1t was in the year 1928, on the banks
of the Lackawaxen, at the commencement of
the railroad connecting the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal Company with their coal mines
and he who addresses you was the only person
on that locomotive. The circumstances which
led to my being alone the engine were
these The road had been built in the summer,
the structure was of hemlock timber, and rails
of large dimensions notched on caps placed far
apart. The timber had cracked and warped
from exposure 10 the sun. After about 300
feet of straight line the road crossed the Lack
AWAKEN Creek on trestle work about 80 feet
high, with curve of 355 10 400 feet radius.
The impression was very general that this iron
monster would either break down the road
plunge into the creek. My reply TO such ap-
prehensions was that it was too late to consid-
er the probability Of such occurrences; there
was no other course but TO have trial made
of the strange animal, which had been brought
here at great expense but that it was rot
necessary that more than one should be in
volved in its fate that would take the first
ride alone, and the time would come when
should look back TO the incident with great in
terest. As | placed my hand on the throttle
valve handle, was undecided whether TO move
slowly or with fair degree of speed but be-
lieFing that the road would prove safe, and
preferring, if we did go down, TO go handsome
ly, and without any evidence of timidity,
started with considerable velocity, passed the
curve over the creek safely, and was soon out
of hearing of the cheers of the vast assemblage.
AT the end of two or three miles | reversed the
valve, and returned without accident 10 the
place of starting, having thus made the first
railroad trip by locomotive on the Western
hemisphere

ADVERTISING For "A WIFE.

Harry Allenby was, in every sense of the
word, fast young man. That is TO say, he
drank hard-played hlgh-was up to every
thing in the way of merriment and fun, and
considered it his bounden duty to spend as
much money as he could squeeze out Of the old
governor, as he dutifully called his father
Yet Harry was very good-hearted fellow,
though he was now sowing his wild oats, and
his mother would assure her husband that he
in his young days was quite as bad before she
married him but then, she said, with sigh,
'poor Harry may not be so fortunate in his
choice of wife as you were. All, there s
not many women in the world like me now-a-
days. and the old lady would finish off with
growing catalogue of her hundred and one
virtues while he, poor old gentleman, would
hide his diminished head behind newspaper.
But this morning Harry was not in his usu-
al spirits. Something unpleasant had disturb
ed him, for he sat in a istless attitude, his
arms crossed over his head, and his heels con-
siderably higher than the mantIepiece. pm
What is to pay, old boy e said Philip
Clayton, one OF Harry IS firm friends, as he en-
tered the room and noticed the rueful expires
sion on that young gentleman's countenance.

a Story in Two Chapters.

Some years ago Cincinnati paper received

to be most thrilling romance, with the expec-
talion Of being provided with the concluding
portions as might be needed. The chapter was
very ingeoiousy written, and concluded by
leaving The principal character suspended BY
The panlaoons from the limb Of tree over
perpendicular precipice. Il attracted the atten-
tion of the press, and inquiries were about to
be made concerning the continuance of the sto-
ry and the fate Of lis hero. Day after day the
viclimized publishers looked for the remaining
chapters, but in vain; they never came to hand.
Finding that they had been sold, and wishing
10 put stop TO the jokes their contemporaries
were cracking at their expense, they briefly
concluded The story thus - Iio

The History Of Butter.

FROM lhe various statements in history, il
may be safely Concluded that the discovery Of
butter is attributable neither TO the Greeks nor
Romans, bnt that the former were made. a.. w
quairied with it by the Scynthians. TbraciansL A
and Phryeians, and The latter by The people of
Germany. 1t appears, says Buchanan, tha,
when they had learned the art of making it,
they employed il only as an ointment in their
baths, and particularly as a medicine. II is
never mentioned BY GAen and others as food,
though they have spoken Of it as applicable to
other purposes. No notice is taken of it by
Apicus, nor is there anything said in respect to
II by The authors who treat or agriculture,
though they have given accurate information
regarding milk, cheese, and oil. This may be
easily accounted for BY the fact that the ancients
were entirely accustomed to the use of good oil.
In like manner, butter isyery lirle employed
at the present day in Italy, Spain, Portugal,
and the southern parts of France but it is sold
in The apothecaries' shops for medicinal pur-
poses. During the ages Of Pagauism, butter
seems TO have been very scarce in Norway
Mention is made by historians of present Of
butter so large that man could not carry il,
and which was considered very respectable

him. He had two intimate cronies. one named
Hal, the other, lawyer, Ellis. The whole
trio were often sadly intemperaie. and in nro-
family exceeded the vilest swearer ever
knew. One Sunday morning the party pro-
vlded themselves with bottle of whiskey, and
took walk down the rivers bank, to have
'time. They followed the tow-path about a
mile down, and then turned off into a field
And then the bottle was emptied-down the
throat. When the exhilerating fumes oe the
spirit had reached their soddeDed brain, Hall
pointed to the trunk of huge sycamore tree,
which lowered up, blackened and scared by
bolt of lightning, which had stricken it year
or two before, and made 10 Ellis this horrible
proposal-that they should spedr without ces-
saton, until The tree fell Brown was living.

Ellis began their internal task Taking out
their watches to mark the time, they alternate
ly, for five minutes at a time, poured forth a
torrent of imprecatons, such as would have
made 6ends tremble, and hell itself recoil with
horror. Presently thunder storm sprang up,
great cloud of inky blackness stood in the
zenith, and anon sheet of lightning flashed
across the sky, while peal Of thunder stunned
the ears OF the two men, rendering them for
the moment deaEdumb-bInd. When they
| recovered their scattered senses the sycamore
tree lay PROSTATE, the trunk split as accurate
ly as though cleft by the axe of an exnert
woodman. How they reached home no one
knew, but Hall, not long afterwards, slept his
last sleep in the village church-yard Ellis
became pious, was afterwards deacon in the
Presbyterian church, but subsequently relapsed
into Incorporate habits, and died from the eff
tects of ardent spirits. Brown left the coun-
try, took an assumed name, and went 10 Eng

patent. He took passage in the Pacific on the

when Gallop removed all the goods that re-
mained into his own sloop, stripped her of her
sails and took her n tow and hauled up for the
Islands again. But the wind increasing, the
pinnace was cut adritt, and disappeared in the
direction of Narragansett Bay, where it is
probable she was stranded.
On board the pinnace, Gallop found the body
of Mr.. Oldham. The head had been cleft, the
hands and legs were much mangled, and the
flesh was still warm. The corpse was thrown
into the sea. ''i-'-t
Thus terminated this extraordinary conflict,
in which Gallop appears 10 have shown as
much conduct as courage, and which in itself
illustrates the vast superiority that profession
