The shades Of night were falling fast
. As through street called Randolph, passed
A youth. whose locks so early gray,
Aud countenanee did seem TO say.
H G, WhilGkens!
And with grave mein and look sedate.
And slight impediment in gait,
He strobe each lager bier shop by,
From youthful brats escaped the cry,
G. Whillikens!
He needed not, but onward pressed,
His mighty thoughts no words expressed
Save when some change Of grade before
Brought him up standing, then he swore-
q. Whillikens
The night was dark, the mud was deep,
Fine narrow path was hard to keep,
And presently splash was there;
Ayoice rang through the startled air.

Recambeut in mud hole lay
The youth whose locks were early gray;
Above, spectral lamp-post shown,
And from his lips escaped groan--
G. Whillikens!
There the next morning he was found,
Stretched at fnll length upon the ground;
And piiIowed there beneath his head
An empty brandy bottle said
Il. Whillikens!

A BACHELORS Observation-Disclosures
are styled by married men who have put
their foot into it, as only half perfected be-
ings, cheerIess yagabonds, but half a pair
of scissors, and many other titles are CIV
en- them; while on the other hand they
extol 4heir state as one of perfect bliss,
that change from earth to heaven would
be somewhat of doubtful good. If they
are sd happy, why don't they enjoy their
happiness and hold their tongues about it9
What do half the men get married for!
Simply that they may have somebody, as
a married man once said, 10 pnil Of their
boots when they are a little baimy.
These fellows are always talking Of The
Loneliness of bachelors. Loneliness IN

Who lives in clover all his days, and
when he dies has flowers strewn on his

him? The bachelor. Who strews flow

the tombstone that a six weeks grief has
set up in her heart, and goes and gets
married again, she does. Who goes to

wood to split, house hunting and market

The lazy servant to look afterl The mar

his wife? The maFried man. Who gets

WoMAN's TEMpER-Above every
thing let woman cultivate sweet
and amiabIe temper. 1t is this that
makes home happy. The sweet tens
per of the wife makes the flowers that
gem mans pathway. Man, perplexed
and annoyed with the cares and tolls
of a busy day, goes home and is sootth-
ed to rest by the music of kindly coins
ed words. 1t is like sunshine lighting
the dark and stony places Of the heart.
Let it be cultivated; for husband and
children are thousand fold the hap>
pier for it. Woman should strive to
possess a calm, sweet temper; and if it
should happen that amy mans eyes
fall upon this, we should say that he
should pray with all fervency for
better temper than he has. How some
women can live with cross, grabbed,
ugly men all their lives, and be still
so much like angels, is TO rs one Of
the hidden mysteries

Poverty in Wealth,

! A London merchant named James
Morrison lately died, worth S20,0OO,>
0O0. He had been in Parliament, he
was liberal in his expenditures, he
paid his debts, and therefore the Eng>
fish journals, which are severe upon
poor people, have raised Mr.. Morrison
to the seventh heaven in fuIsome euIo>
gy. He made his money, however,
in no very Iaudable manner. Any tra>
der who was in eight place." had
only to give Mr., Morrison 4 supply OF,
goods in marketable condition, at half
the cost price, and that liberal aentle>
man would Immediately give him a
check. Now and then, 10 be sure, he
came within hairs breadth of being
prosecuted as "recelver,3 bat always
drove Just outside the operation of the
law. III London, where he was known,
such character was fair mark for
sarcasm, and we find his history and
mode of trading very fully shadowed
out in the last number Of Dickens
Household Words, where, under title
of Twenty Shillings in the Pound"
every one who runs may find, in the
adventures of Petty, Larceny & Co.,
the haberdashers, IA palpable adumbra~
ton Of MIR. James Morrlson'S mode of
making money.
We notice the man, puffed up and
worthless as he really was, on account
of an aneedote relating to him, COM
municated by a correspondent Of the
illustrated London Times, as follows:
cit is said that during the last two
years of his life he was the victim of
singular mental hallucination, ima>
gining that he was in the utmost pow
ertv, and that but by daily labor could
he get daily bread. His friends ac~
cordingIy used to place spade in his
hands, and set him to work for short
time in the garden, paying him weeks
" wages of few shillings, and in
this way alone would he be quieted.'
This may be true, but is not very sins
gular. Thrift very frequently has such
a painful terminus as this. Accumu>
latlon sometimes operates upon the
mind in the manner here described,
and inficts the torture Of constantly
imagining that poverty is at hand
This Is one Of the pains and penalties
of riches.
Mr.. Morrison, haunted by the idea
ofntter poverty while he had 100000
600 of property, is fairly entitled to
the title Of millionaire. But he was
only in moderate circumstances CONS
pared with a fortunate Englishman,
named Martin, who has for forty years
been struggling with poverty, and |
now, by legal decision, has succeeds
ed to the Jennens property, consisting
Of S400, 900, 600 Of accumulation, and |
estates worth $2,00oO00 per annrm!
1t is difficult 10 imagine how a man
could live up to such ansincome. IT
is enough to unsetle the reason.

"The present times so sick,

So Shakespeare said centuries ago, and the
same is true of the present times, and Mr., DUFF,
is going to minister the right kind of medicine
to ease them a little, or what is just as well,
draw mems minds away from the contempla,
ton of hard times, and thus force slight relax
alton.
By reference to our advertising columns it
will be seen that we are to have aTheatre opened
Gin few days. at Phelps Hall. Mr. DUFF, the
manager is well known upon the Stage, and
everybody has heard of Mrs DUFF. We are
informed that capital company has been Sc
cured, and the lovers of theatrical performances
will have an opportunity of Witnessing some Of

will be seen that the Hall is to be. comfortably
seated, and every provision made for the con-
vevience and comfort of an audience. We be-
lieve our citizens can appreciate well conduct

meet liberal patronage. So in the words of
