DIDN'T SEE TT.

A short time since Young man living in
Ogdensburg, whose name we shall call
George, took to drinking rather more than
usual, and some OF his friends endeavored
to cure him. One day, after he had been
drinking several times, they got him in a
room and eonyersing about delirium tremens,
directing all their remarks to him. and tell
ing what fearful snakes and rats we're al
ways seen by the victims of the horrible
disease. When the conversatin waxed high
OF this terrible thens, one of their number
stepped out of the room and from a tran
which was a. hand, let large rat in the
room. Mono of the friends appeared to see
it; but the young man who was to be the
victim seized chair at the rat, smashing it
in the operation. Another chair shared the
same fate, when his friends seized him, and
with terror depicted in their faces, demand
ed to know what was the matter.
''Why don't you see that big rat ?" said
he, pointing to the animal, which after the
manner of rats, was making its way around
the room, close to to the walls.
They all saw it, but all replied that they
didn't see it-there was no rat
''But there is p said he, as another chair
went 10 pieces in an Intellectual attempt to
crush the rat.
At this moment they again seized him, and
after terrible scuffie threw him down on
the floor, and with terror in their faces,
yelled
''Charley run for the doctor 90
Charley started for the door, when George
desired to be informed 'what is up"

WoMAN.-The priceless value of the love
of true woman. Gold cannot purchase
gem so precious. Titles and honor confer
upon the heart no such serene happiness
In our darkest moment, when disappoint-
ment and ingratitude with corrodipg care,
gather thick around US, and even guant pow
erty menaces with his skeleton finger, it
CLEANS around the soul with an angels
smile. Time cannot mar its brilliancy-
distance but strengthens its influence; bolts
and bars cannot limit It's progress. 1t fol-
lows the prisoner into his dark cell. and
sweetens the home morsel that appeases his
hungers, and, in the silence of midnight it
plays around his head. and In his dreams he
folds to bis bosom the form of her who loves
on still, though the world has turned coldly
upon him. The couch made by the hands
of loved one is soft to the weary limbs of
sick sufferer, and the portion administered
by the same hand loses half its bitterness.
The pillow carefully adjusted by her, bring
ing repose to the fevered brain, and her
words of kind encouragement revives the
sinking spirit.
Il would almost seem that God, compass
sionating woman's first great frailty, had
planted this jewel in her breast, whose hea-
yen.like interest should cast into forgetful-
ness mans remembrance of the fall, by
building up in his heart another Eden, where
perennial flowers forever bloom, and crys-
tai waters gush from exhsustless fountains
