the reinforcemcnts will be assigned to the lst
Artillery: but it is not stated for what reason
the transfer has been made. Wo take the iiDer-

lady having remarked that awe is the most de-
licious feelnga wife can hold toward her hus-
band, Fanny Fern thus comments:

ed, whose hair you have cnt, whose crayat you
nave tied, whose shirt you have put in the wash,
whose boots and shoes you have kicked into the
closet, whose dressinggown you have worn
while combing your hair, who has beon down
IN tho kitchen with you at eleven O'Clock at
night to hunt for chicken bone, who has hook
ed your dresses, unlaccd your boots, and tied
your bonnet; who has stood before your look
ing glass with thumb and finger on proboscis.
scratching HIS chin wlIom yon hrIse battered
and tcased; whom you have scen asleep with
his mouth wide open ridiculous!
