CAN CARPET-BAG EATl

1t was but day or two ago, while travelling
upon the cars between this city and Goium-
bus, that train stopped at small village
not hundred miles off, the conductor crying
out !; Fifteen minutes for dinner.''
The passengers, of whom there happened
to be large number, rushed into the dining
apartment and took their seats at the table,
one of them depositing his carpet-bag in the
chair next to him. At the usual time the

his pay ment for dinner.
sHow much 2 said the passenger
Eighty cents replied the land lord.
Eighty cents for dinner! why that is extor-

sYes sir that is nay carpet bag
sWell, that carpet bag occupies seat and

sOh! is that the case Well, here is your

Turning to the carpet bag the passenger re-
marked Well, Mr.. Carpet Bag, as you have
not had much to eat, suppose We take some
thing, at the same time opening its mouth
and turning therein half ham, a roast chicken
plate of crackers, and sundry other articles,
amid the roars of laughter of the other pas
sengers.
The prevailing opinion among the passen-
gers was that the earpet-bag won.-C Cincinnati

A FEW ouEER THINGS

We know lazy, shiftless, trifihg devils, who
never paid dollar of taxes in their lives, who
are bowling twelve out of the twenty -four
hours about the ssenormous taxes bur
dened with.''
We know men, whose ragged pantaloons dis
play the flag of distress at halt mast, who could
not buy the toe nail of niger if able bodied
slaves were selling at Il dollar a dozen, who
fly into passion if they hear of an ''attack on
slave property
We know of men who never did a day IS
work in their lives-save when borrowing or
stealing was impossible-who are bowling like
wolves against ''niggers coming to the North
to compete with the labor OF poor white men.
We know of men who never had an entire
dollar in their lives, spend hours in expatiat-
ing upon the images of paper currency.
There are queer people in the world, and
much oil all the talk on the above topics is done
by the classes mentioned Buckeye State.

THE WIFE TO HER HUSBAND.

A year thy heart has been my home
One short, one blissful year
And need / tell thee now thou art
Een-to my soul more dear
Than when, half trembling. half afraid
To thee L gave my hand.
And left my own to seek with thee
A home in stranger land
/ need not tell thee-well thou knowest
ALL all that L would say
That deeper. stronger's grown my love,
With every passing day,
Till thou unto my wayward heart
Art as the sun of earth,
And linked with thee my every JOY
And every hope has birth.
There's nought on earth like welded bliss,
Where hearts and hands are twined;
Thank Heaven. that thine and nj ne is thus
In holy faith combined.
And oh : that I may worthy grow
OF love so true US thine,
And help to share thy every care,
As thou hast done of mine.
Then, husband mine, IN wholly thine,
Through all earth's veal and woe;
Our cares, our hopes, our ways are one,
And where thou goest 60"

A SOLDIERS LIFE.

A soldiers life is hard one. 1t is full oi
privtaons. 1t is hardly one that would be
selected by the indolent or the luxurious. l,
is one of toll and care, and no little endu-
rance. Yet it is remarkable how we'll SOL
dier's life agrees with even many of those
whom we have been accustomed to consider
effeminate. We have personally known sew
eral young men of feeble health and ndiffer-
erent physical stamina who, having ssgone to
the war; have returned robust, hearty, vigor-
