The s:Genuine Jarley.o

The Journal published nearly year
since, an account of the arrival of man
at Portsmouth, who represented himself to
be one Robert McAuley who had left that
place for California, five years before. Ma
ny of McAuley's relatives, from the strange
resemblance the person bore to him, were
deceived; bat his wife refused to acknowl-
edge the newcomer, who was in the last
stages of consumption, and we believe soon
after died. 1t seems that the man was
an impostor, though it is hard to tell what
motive actuated his conduct. A few days
since, we learn from the Tribune, the real
McAuley returned from California, and
sstarted for his home, which is several
miles distant from the city. His wife and
child were on their way to town at the
time, and as they were about passing one
another she Immediately recognized the re-
turning husband. Words are inadequate to
express the joy and surprise of the long
parted ones, so happily and providentially
met"

MoBBING IN BOONE CoUNTY.-The Fort
Dodge Iowa Sentinel learns from Mr.. VIM.
Dowd and Mr.. George Wilson and 9TH
ers from the Southern end of Webster
county, the particulars of certain mob law
acts in Boone county, which are given as
follows:
"oSme time since one Colwell had some
corn stolen. He brought suit against one
Pardee and his two sons and obtained
Judgment for Sl7. About two weeks since
the neighbors gave Pardee notice to leave
the country, but he refused to 60.
On the 18th of March mob visited his
house with the intention to fire the same
if he still refused to leave. They were
provided with straw and fire, and were pro-
tected in their wagons from the bullets of
their enemies by planks set upon end
Five men left the wagon and attempted to
set the house on fire. One Of them was
instantly killed by shot from the house ;
another, Mr.. Sprague, was shot through
the shoulder; another, Mr.. Phipps, was
shot in the ankle, (whose leg has since
been amputated), and still another was
shot though the heel.
The next morning the house and lis fur
niture was burned to the ground. The
Pardees have escaped. No arrests are vet
reported. Nither party. and especially the
one that made the attack, bears very en-
yiable reputation.

"I always know a helpless old bach

81 always know helpless old bache-
lor," says clver lady, by looking at the
corners of his pocket handkerchief. If 1
notice in them any little pieces of red, blue,
or yellow, worsted-such as washer-wo-
men run in to identify the property of each
separate customer-I know at once that
be has no one at home to mark his linen,
and that he must be poor, pitiful, mis-
anthropical, friendless, helpless old bache-
lor."
A genius once undertook to name and
classify the different sorts of fools in this
world. "First, the ordinary fool; second,
the fool who is one and don't know it;
third, the fool, who is not satisfied with be-
ing fool in reality, but undertakes, in ad-
dition, to play the fool"
One of the hardest trials of those who
fall from af1uence and honor to poverty
and obscurity, is the discovery that the at
tachment of so many in whom they con-
fided was pretence, mask to gain their
own ends, or was miserable shallowness.
1t was smart boy who owned up, that
he liked everything good, but good whip-
ping. The same boy liked good rainy
day, too rainy to 60 to school, and just
about rainy enough to go fishing.
Persons who are always cheerful and
good-humored, are very useful in the world |;
they maintain peace and happiness, and
spread thankful temper among all who
live around them.
An Irishman dropped letter into the
post-ofice the other day, with tho follow
ing memorandum on the envelope: "Please
hasten the delay of this"

In TRocEss OF HIBERNIANIzATIoS.-
The Springfield, Mass, Republican says /:
OF the 5,597 children born in Boston last
year, only l,4Il were of pure native pa
rentage. while 1904 had one foreign pa
rent. So that only about one-fourth of
the children born in Boston last year are of
native stock. The marriages tell the same
story. There were 2,l65 couples married,
less by 2S0 than the previous year, and
the whole falling off was among the na-
tives, the Irish marrying as freely as usual.
Only one-third Of the marriages were by
natives.

REsuREcr1oN.-As for the resurrection
of the dead, do not conceive it so very
contrary to the analogy Of nature. when |

a worm to all appearance dead, change its
nature, and that, which in its first being
crawled on the earth, become new species,
and fly abroad with wings.-Berkely

John G. saxe,s Three Travellers.

SAKE in letter to the Boston Post,
draws these portraits of three familiar trav-
elers:
Isl, The man who travels with his wife /;
I'd, The man who travels with his wife's
sister; Sd, The man who travels with an
other mans wife. The lst case is extremely
common, and not particularly interesting.
The man is taciturn, and sleeps apparently
as much as he can; the woman has a slight
ly subdued expression of face, and looks a
good deal at the scenery along the road,
of which she says for the most part
nothing. When she does speak, as some
times happens at the sight of something
very remarkable, she says "See John" !"
that is all. The man looks carefully af-
ter the baggage, and assures his spouse, in
reply to a question that its call right
The woman takes care of the small etraps"
and seems comfortable and contented. AL
together, they behave nationally, and, in
spite of their seeming unsociability are re-
ally very fond of each other, aud will make
pleasant trip of it-not only to the end
of their railroad tour, but the terminus of
their matrimonial journey.
The man who travels with Lis wife 5
sister carries himself, perhaps, in the main
like the man who travels with his wife,
But be is more talkative, and takes more
pains to be agreeable. He feels that
more is expected of him, and, as it goes in
commercial affairs, the supply is equal to
the demand. A pleasant thing is wife's
sister; unless, indeed she is quite the re-
verse-and that is not the sort of a wo-
man l am talking Of. She takes the wife's
place in the house sometimes, and NAV
chance to make an exc llent step mother.
Why hot?-for is she not already the
aunt of her nieces and nephews? This
sort Of marriage, however, is, | believe, an
ti-Levitical; and some of the theologians
don't approve ofit-which is pity.
The man who travels with another mans
wife is of much more marked behavior.
How attentive he is to all the real and pos
sible wants of the -lady He respects her
whims even, which, you may be sure, her
husband does not at home or abroad
How carefully he hands her in and out =
How seduously be plies her ear with dis
courses! And yet he imagines people
take him for the lady's spouse! No, my
dear sir. the brakesman in the corner knows
better than that. Husbands may be uxo-
rious, but kindness such as yours is more
like that of cavalier servente-which l
dare say you are not. It's tiresome,
though, after while, unless the lady is re-
markably attractive and pays her own fare,
(which she sometimes forgets,) and, for a
journey of thousand miles, your own
wife is the much more agreeable companion.

THE REASON WHY.

Do you wish to know the reason
Why your reighbor often calls
On the dashing Widow Wilkins.
And attends her to the ballf
Why his carriage is seen stopping
At some noted clothing store,
And the widow goes shopping
Where she never went befores
If you wish it, viii you
Let me whisper to you sly
If they esteem it proper,
It is not your business why.
Do you wish to know why Peter
Has forsaken friends and home,
And left his native country.
Ina distant land to roamf
Why Polly seems 50 lonely
Since the day that Peter LEFT,
And Of all the friends, the only.
Should appear to be bereftf
II you wish 1t, win tell you
Let me whisper to you sly-
If they have arecson for it,
It is not your business why
Would you like to know the secrets
Of your neighbours house and lifef
How he lives, or how he doesn't,
And Just how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the playf
If you wish it, / will tell you
Let me whisper TO you sly
If your neighbor is but civil,
II is not your business why.
In short instead of prying
Into other folks affairs,
If you do your own but justice
You will have NO time for theirs.
Be attentive to such matters
As concern you alone,
And whatever fortune fatters,
Let your business be your own.
One word by way Of finis-
Let me whisper to you sly
If you wish to be respected
You must cease to be o pry.
