How To CURE A BACnELoR'S IDIoSYNCRA-
SIZES. - Eccentric bachelors. if you want to
be cured of your oddities, and become
polished christians, marry. You, sir,
with the slOuching gait, the pocketed
hands, the illtailorcd frame, just pair off
with neat, smart little damsel, who has
nm eye for the picturesque and before the
honeymoon is over, she will so tranSfigurc
you that you shall scarcely know yourself
in the lookingglasS. Beauty and the
Beast" is no fable. Many terrible
m"nSter" has been transformed into a
gentleman by the necrnmatic influence Of
a pretty woman. You, Sir NimrOd, whose
talk is of double guns and settlers, of deer
shooting on the AdirOndac. or moose
hunting in the Canada wildS, do you wish
To he civilized and socializcd? Doubtless
you DO. In your leisure moments the
thought must Obtrnde that gun.talk, dog
talk, game. talk, is not the venacular of an
enlightened Christian, and that what you
are pleased to call "sport" is not the chief
end of man. Marry true gentlewoman,
sir, if YOU can persuade one to venture
on YOU, and she will soon divorce you
from a dog and fowling piece, and make
YOU as gentle and biddable a cavalier as
ever shawled lady at ball or opera
Even the miser may be won from his
golden pagod by generous wife, though
it must be confessed that Of all eccentrici'
ties. the greed of riches is the most diff
cult to eradicate.
The fact is that every eccentric bachelor
is like helmless ship that has yawned
more or less out Of her proper COURSE

How JACK BECAME A DEMOCRAT -JacI
was q red hot a bolitionsiSt, and his chic
pleasure seemed in making the fact as no
torious as possible. His friends and as
sociates, with one consent. pronounced
Jack bore and nuisance.
One day, Jack met at the house Of q
friend a young lady OF great persona
beauty and accomplishments. Attracted
by her lovelineSs, and captivated by her
intelligence, he became aSSiduous in his
attentions, forgot for while his "prn'
cipIes," and without inquiring what
might have been the political preference,
OF his ladylove, imprudently proposed,
was accepted and they were married.
The wedding was over, the guests had
departed, and the happy couple had re
tired TO their chamber. and were enScon-
ced in bed, when Jack, in the course OF
q quie: talk with his vile, unwiItingly
alluded to his fav0rite subject. by casual
" speaking of himself as a Republican,
&" What" exclaimed his wife. turning
sharply and suddenly toward him, ''are
you Republican ~
"Yes," replied Jack. " am a regu|al
out.and outer, douhle-dyed and twisted
in the wool.
Just double and twist yourself out
of this bed, them" interrupted his witr
IL ANA Democrat, am. | will never
sleep with man protesting the dOctt1ncE
you do"
Jack was rather spcechlcS> from amaze
ment. That the very wilc of his bosom
should prove traitor was horrible; she
must be testing. He demonstrated. but
in vain tried persuasion, twas no z" ;
she was in earnest. and the uhlv altcrua-
tive left him was prompt remuneration oi
his hereSv or Separat" bed in the other
room.
Jack did not hesitate To ahjurp the
cstabliSe,i doctrines which had grown with
his strength, to the mere whim and ca
price Of a woman, was ridiculous and
absurd, and throwing himself from the
bed, he quit the apartment.
In the morning she met him as if no.
thing had happened; but when Jack ven
tured to allude to the night previous,
there was a laughing imp in her eye,
which bespoke her power and extinguiSh
ed hope.
A second time he repaired to his lone.
ly couch and a second timr called on
his pride 10 support him in the struggle
which he now found was getting desper-
ate.
The second day was a repetition of the
first No alusiOn was made to the sub.
iect on either side. There was a quiet
happiness and cheerfulness about his
wife that puzzled Jack Soreiy, and he felt
that all idea Of forcing her to surrender
must be abandoned.
The third night he was alonel His
reflections were yet more serious than
the previous nights; what they were of
course, was only known to himself, but
they seemed to result in something deci-
ded for at about midnight three distinct
raps were made at his wife'S door. No
answer The signal was repeated in
louder tone. still all was silent. A third
time the door shook with the violent at.
tacks.
"Who's there W. cried the voice of
his wife, as if aroused from deep sleep.

you ever saw"

High minded literature forms excellent

| was standing quietly on the front
steps Of the Custom house the other day,

Whether the remark was addressed to
