TIE LUCKY LEGAL FEE.-A gentleman il
Cincinnati states that Nicholas Lonswortll, who
WAS in his native State - shoemaker, practiccd
law on his removal THAT city during the years
between lSU4 and 1920. lie once received as a
lenal ice for defending horse thief, two seconl
hand copper stills. The gentleman who had
them in possession refused TO give them up, but
proposed to Mr. Longworth to give him 4 lot of
IS acres OH Western Row, SO called, in lieu Of
tl.c,n-a prolN,sal which the latter, whose SAIL
p,.jue opinions Of the value of such property
were ahead of his time, gladly accepted. This
transaction formed the basis of an immense for
tune, the naked ground being now worth over
two millions Of dollars.

Be CAEEFuI.-Several anecdotes turn on
thai incyhaustiblc theme for ncrrimcnt the SOL
rows OF matrmony. In passing through the
streets a bier was struck against the corner oil a
house, and the corpse terminated by the shock.
Some years afterwards; VIXEN the woman died
in good earnest, her husband called to the bear
crs, ':prly gentlemen, be CAREFUL ill turning
the corners"

THE CooL1E TRADE IN New YoRE.-The
following appears in the New York Express Of
last Wednesdays issue. 1t needs no comment:
"Among the charters at this port Monday,
We see, was the ship Enterprise" from China
to Cuba, with Coolies at $50 per head. This
is better for the ship-owncr than carrying corn
at Did. per busbel, or flour at rates that will
hardly pay for loading and unloading.
"Ths scoole' business, it has been shown
ON time to time, is quite as bad as the African
ave trade. The 'horrors' Of the passage from
CLila to Cuba are said to be but repetition,
ii IT an aggrevation, Of the awful middle
passage from Africa Haven't black-republican
friends a word of sympathy for the poor Asia
tic Or is it the Coolies misfortune not to
have an ebon face and woody head? 2"

LOVE AND THEE.

LOSE AMI THEE.
Oh! would had the wealth of worlds,
The monarch's crown of gold
And all the gems in secret caves
This wondrous earth doth hold
The countless pearls that CLEAN unknown
Beneath the deep, blue sea;
Oh would had such wealth, that
Might scorn it all for thee.
Oh would were in courtly halls,
The bright and shining star
The gittering magnet for world
To gaze on from afar-
That might scorn the kingly throng,
The world OH bcnded knee,
AL for simple Ct ttace home,
With nought but love and thee.
care not for the golden wealth,
Nor sigh in courts to shine
only care, only sigh
To know thy heart is mine.
Far more to me than gem or gold,
Or jewel Of the sea,
Would be that simple cottage home,
With nought but love and thee.
THREE WEEKS AFTER MARRIAGE.
My dearest, a!c you going out
Indeed, It's very cold,
Let me, sweet love, around Your neck
This handkerchief cnfoid.
You know how anxious for Your health,
My own dear George, am I,
One lovely kiss, before we part
Goodbye, sweet chuck, goodbye!
THREE YEARS AFTER MARRIAGE.
You're going out why don't you go?
cannot help the rain;
You wouldn't grevc me nightly,
To necr conc back again!
Umbrella I don't know where 'tiS,
What'll you want next? / wonder,
Don't poster me about your cold,
Good craciouS-go to thunder!
