THE MAIN CHANcE.-Many readers will re- member the ancedote of the unfortunate indi- vidual, who while being afflicted with terrible boil upon enc of his joints, undertook to descend to his cellar with a favorits family pitcher to draw some cider. He slipped upon the stairs and fell to the bettom,. breaking his carbuncle. and uttering at the same time scream of agony. His -affectionate wife rushed to the cellar and exclaimed at the top of her voice, "Oh, Rich ard hare you broken the pitcher?" "No," answered the indignant and growing sufferer, with an imprecation which it is not necessary to insert here, but will" and suiting the action to the words he flung the prized pitcher against the cellar wall. smashing it to pieces. A paral- Tel to the thrifty Yankee wife, who was so much more careful of her crockery than that of her husband, was found in salesman in whole some grocery establishment in Boston the other day. A merchant from the country was in the act of trading for few chests of tea, and while they were debating upon the price. the purchas- CT suddenly disappeared through an open hatch way into the cellar. Without apparently ob- serving the sudden exit of his customer, the clerk coolly turned to another, and asked, "what can I sell you to-day?" But the descended mer- chant soon reappeared, with slight limp in his gait, and considerable illustration in his counte- nance, when the matter of fact clerk, turning to him again, and without noticing the accident at all, says to him, Il think you had better take that tea" The trader looked upon his impe. turbable countenance with astonishment, but ob- serving nothing but "speculatien in his eye,' concluded that nothing like eommiseration o, sympathy could proceed from man whose only rule of action was contained in tho motto Business is business"

GARIBALD1 ONCE LIVED IN CINcINNAT1.-N may not be uninterresting to know that Garibal di, the leader of the insurrectionists of Rome once kept public house on Sixth street, be tween Plum and Western Row, in this city, His house was for some time one of the stop ping places of the celebrated Charles Hammond as editorials from his pen will show, as any man who has file or who reads his paper may see He kept liquor, but his eatables and familiar yet gentlemanly converse, formed the principal at fractions for Mir. Hammond. Many time, oul citizens informs us, did the veteran editor refel to Garibaldi as the prince of good eating and good company. From Garibaldis industry and good management in this city, he made money and when he left for Italy, he remarked that hii 825,O0O cash that he had amassed, would make him as wealthy in Rome as Griffin Taylor and others of great wealth, &c.,, were considered ir this country. A friend of ours, from whom we obtain this information, remembers remark o Garibaldi at the time. He said Before lonl there will be a revolution in Europe, and wisf to have hand in it." By the late foreign news it will have been observed that his name has fig ured largely y.- Cincinnai Commercial

SPRING.
BY AFFORD TRNNYSON.

Dip down upon the northern shore,
 0 sweet new year, delaying long; Thou does expectant nature wrong, Delaying long; delay no more. What stays, thee from the cloudod moons, Thy sweetness from its proper place; Can trouble live with April days, Or sadness in the summer moons? Bring orchis, bring the fox-glove spire, The little speedwelPs darling blue, Deep tulips dashed with fiery dew, Laburnums, dropping wells of fire. o thou, new year, delaying long,
 Delayest the sorry in my blood,
 That longs to burst frozen bub, And flood fresher throat with song. Now fades the last long streak of snow; Now burgeons every maze of quick About the towering squares, and thick By ashen roots the violets blow. Now rings the woodland loud and long, The distance takes lovelier hue,
 And drowned in yonder living blue The lark becomes sightless song. Now dance the lights on lawn and lea,
 The focks are winter down the vale, And milkier every milky sail On winding stream or distant sea; Where now the seamew pipes, or dives In wonder greening gleam, and fly
 The happy birds, that change their sky To build and brood, that live their lives From land to land; and in my breast
 Spring wakens too; and my regret
 Becomes an April violet,
 And buds and blossoms like tho rest.

DAD IS GROWING OLD, JOHN.
BY J. Q. A. WOOD.

BY J. Q. A. WOOD. Ay, Dad is growing old, John, His eyes are getting dim, And years have on his shoulders laid A heavy weight for him; But you and are young and hale, And each a stalwart man, And we must make his load as light And easy as we can. He used to take the brunt, John, At cradle and the blow, And earned our.porridge by the sweat That trickled from his brow; Yet never heard we him complain, What'er his toll might be, Nor wanted e'er a welcome seat Upon his solid knee. But when our boy strength, came, John, And sturdy grew each limb, He brought us to the yellow field, To share the toll with him; But he went foremost in the swath, Tossing aside the grain Just like the blow that heaves the soil, Or ship that shears the main. Now we must lead the van, John, Through weather foul and fair, Auu l6L luc OlU ulslu Fcuu duu uOZc, And tilt his easy chair; And he'll not mind it, John you know, At eve to tell us OCT Those brave old tales of British times, Of Grand-dad and the War. heard you speak of Nam, John; 'Tis gospel what you say, That caring for the like of us Has turned her head 50 gray; Yet John, I do remember we'll When neighbors called her vain, And when her hair was long and like A glsaming sheaf of grain Her lips were cherry red, John, Her cheek was round and fair, And like ripened peach it swelled Against her wavy hair, Her step fell lightly as the leaf From of the summer tree, And all day busy at the wheel She sang to you and me. She had a bu xom arm, John,
 That wielden we'll the rod, Whene'er with willful step our feet The path forbidden trod; But to the heaven of her eye
 We never looked in vain, And cvermore our yielding cry Brought down her tears like rain. But that is long agone, John, And we are what we are, And little heed we, day by day, Her fading cheek and hair. An! when beneath her faithful breast The tides no longer stir, 'Tis then, John. that we most shall feel We had no friend like her. Sure, there can be no harm, John, Thus speaking softly o'sr The blessed names of those, ere long, Shall welcome us no more Nay, hide it not-for why shouldst thou An honest truth disown? Thy heart one day will lighter be, Remembering it has flown. For Dad is growing old, John,
 His eyes are getting dim, And Nam is treading softly down The dim descent with him. But you and are young and hale, And each stalwart man, And we must make their path as smooth And level as we can.

OUR FOREMOTHERS

We hear enough about our forefathers. They were nice old fellows, no doubt Perfect bricks Tn their way. Good to work eat, or fight. Very well. But where are their companions-their "chums'-who, as their helpmates, urged them along? Who worked and delved for our fore. fathers, brushed up their old clothes and patch. ed their brooches? Who unpettcoated them selves for the cause of liberty? Who nursed our forefathers when sick-sang Yandee Doodle to their babes-who trained up their boys? Our foremothers. Who landed at James River, and came over in the Mayaower, and established other early settlements? Were there women among them? One would think not Our Yan- kee neighbors especially make great talk about the Pilgrim Fathers who squatted on Plymouth Rock, and there is a wonderful ado made over it every time they wish to get up 8 little enthu- siasm on liberty. and refresh themselves by crow ing over freedom and the chivalry of Virginia are not whit behind them, when they take Q notion to vaunt themselves upon the glory and greatness of the Old Dominion. And our staid Pennsylvania Quakers, too like to plume them- selves slyly upon the merits and deings of Will fam Penn and his associates !; but, with all their blarney" so plentifuly distributed on all sides, what do we hear or gather about the foremothers? Didn't they land on rock too Didn't they on. counter hardships? And after all, didn't they WitH lHelF hluu nedTlS anu WdTm dTtDs, SuStdlu the Tagging spirits of their male companions. and keep the stalwart, but chilly old forefathers from freezing to death during those horrible cold winters which some of them had to shiver through? We have our monuments commence rating, and our speeches, our songs, our toasts, and our public dinners, celebrating the wonder full deeds of our forefathers but where are those in honor of our foremothers? We had better be getting them ready. We talk ourselves hoarse, and write ourselves round shouldered, while boiling over with enthusiasm about the nice things our forefathers did and yet nothing is said about our foremothers, to whom many virtuous act and brave deed may be ascrbed such as any hero would be proud to own. Be sides, we forget to remember that if it had not been for our foremothers, we ourselves would not be here to know, and be proud of what our forefathers did We wish not to detract. All hail to the noble old boys, our forefathers, say we. May the glory of their deeds never be less; but the Good Book tells us to render unto Cae- sar,' etc and we wish to speak word in season for women generally, and especially for our mo- ble and selfsacrifcing foremothers lest time and the one-sded page of history shall blot them for, ever from our memories-Baaaer of Lhe Coce. n1nt

IN THE WRONG Box.-An unmarried lady, perfect specimen of an old maid, being on visit to a friend who lived in large manufacturing town, went one Sunday to church alone, and was shown into large square pew, in which half-a- dozen females were seated. The prayers were drawing to a conclusion, when the officiating minister deviated from the afternoon service into another with which she was unacquainted. This was novelty to Miss P-, who was in the habit of attending public worship at a fashiona- ble chapel in London. When this interpolated service began, her co-pewers stood up; she, as a matter of course, followed their example, and, on doing so, was surprised to see all the congre. gation except themselves either sitting or kneel- ing. Her companions presently knelt down, She again followed their lead, and by paying great attention to the succeeding prayer, she dis covered that it was thanksgiving for safe de- iiverance from the great pain and peril of child' birth. The usual afternoon service being over, she rose from her knees with crimsoned cheeks and in an agitated state of mind, which were not lessened by the clerk coming into the pew, and asking her, Have you child to be christened: Maam p Pushing him aside, she rushed out ot the churching pew, into which she had inadvert- ently been put, and made the best of her way
 out of the church. On entering her friends drawinS room she looked so excited and alarmed
 that Mrs. M. exclaimed, My dear Charlotte,
 what has happened to you? have you been rob bed or assaulted ?" Worse, worse-much

 AMUSING ADVENTURE AT A HoTEL-A TRAVEL. FRS WIFE MAKES SAD MIsrAKE-Among the passengers who arrived from Pittsburg, on the train on Tuesday morning, were Mir. Blank and lady, the latter being one of the most beautiful creatures we have ever seen, except in picture frame. Arriving at the - hotel, Mr. Blank and lady refreshed themselves, and then started out in different directions, the former to insert all advertisement, the latter to purchase love of bonnet.
 Having effected her purchase, Mrs Blank re- turned to the hotel and ascended to her parlor on the third foor in order to try on that duck of a bonnet" Her room was No. 6l. No. 6l when turned upside down, is precisely the same as Mo- l9 This caused Mrs. Blank to mistake another room for hers. Instead of entering her own parlor, she entered that of Mir. A.. an old bachelor boarding at the hotel. At the moment Mrs. Blank opened the door, Mir. A. was en- gagged in changing his clothes. Mrs. Blank gave look, shrieked and fell senseless on the floor. At that moment MT. Blank returned. He rush. ed in very excitedly, and wanted to know "what it all meant"
 Mrs. Blank pointed to the terrified Mr. A. and said herrid man." Mir. Blank said something about hearts blood, villain, and revolver, and blood" spoken in so disrespectful manner, feil back upon his resources, locked and boted the door, and completed his eutrenchment by push ing his bureau against the key hole. In a mo- ment Mr. Blank returned, in company with two Colts revolvers and cheese knife. The mo- ment he kicked against the panels Mr. A. hal, loed for help, and in less than no time the pro- prietor was on the spot.
 "What in the world is the matter?" exclaim- ed the surprised proprietor, panting with the ex- ertion of running up stairs.
 "Scoundrel in my room !" gasped Blank, "i in- suited my wife-take his life or perish in the at- tempt"
 "Your room sir !-this is not your room L. This room belongs to Nr. A. high-toned gen. tleman, who has resided for years in the house and would no more insult lady than pick pocket"
 Possible ?" said Mir. Blank, looking very fool. ish.
 Certainly, it's possible. If you'll look at your key, you'll see that your room is on the floor above.'
 Mir. Blank saw his mistake, and blamed him. self for getting into passion before he question ed his wife more closely. He offered to make an apology, which offer was magnanimously ac- cepted. Mir. A. removed the bureau, unlocked the door, and invited MT. Blank into the room. Mr. Blank ordered the champagne, and the scene closed by swearing eternal amity all round, land lord included.
 MoRAL.-Men, like guns, should never "go off" until properly loaded. Before acting upon the prompting of an excited female, first ascer- tain that that excitability has taken rise from legitimate causes
