PHILOSOPHY FOR TIE DIS
CARDED.

Yes, she was false-hcarted, as every one knows ;
And shall regret that he pays for Aer clothes.
Or sigh that / have whole bedfto myself?
Do you think l should weep when foot up my
bills,
And find no small items Of feathers and lace,
OF cotton and crinoline, trimmings and frills,
OF corsets, and bustles, or ronge for the face
Should I grove that the dear one once fondly
adorod,
Now tests tho new broom on another mans head
Should mourn when my rival comes down -
for her board
And long to fork over tho greenbacks instead
Should languish and pine when travel by rail,
Because I'm not buried in traps to tho ears ?
Should banker each night for an infantilc wall,
And yeam to buy whistles for Line little dears
Lhould l strive in gin cocktails to drown such
regrets
Should take brandy-smashos to smash up such
woes?
Should take to horse racing, or venture large
bets
Or seek consolation in six-penny shows2
Should smile and encore at the Bowery dances,
Cause he was caught first in the eoniugal
All, no? He may live with his package of
fancies,"
With my thanks that he's taken her of from my
hands.

C0URTING AN EMlGRANT FEMALE
IN w A SH OE.
By DAN D. QULLE.

Our Washoe bachelors are always on
the qui pipe during the last months of
summer and the first ah1 second fall months
when the emigrant trains are rolling in of
the plains, with whole troops of sun brown
ed dnmsels.
The girls have all heard that the chances
for getting husbands arc "awful good in
Washoe." They know there are "sights
of chances" so they begin primping short

My friend Condl ick wanted wife.
lie wanted a piece of "unsophisticatcd

He talked much of when the train would
arrive, and of pretty emigrant emigrant
girls.
lie swore he would "gobble up ono This
fall sure"
At last it was reported that big train
was camped on the Carson, two miles be.
yond Dayton.
Condrick mounted his mustang and de.
parted. flT 3C. .rEtTI- -HHI
The report proved true, and what was
better, "W omen absolutely abOunded, !" as
Condrick afterward informed me in his on
thusiastic way.
lie rode among the tents and wagons,
ostensibly much concerned to know ex.
actly the State, county and town from
which each family hailed, but in reality
taking notes of the fine points of all the
marriageable looking females in camp.
AT last he struck one that suited him to
dot.
Long afterwards, he said to me with
great sigh, which he tried TO smother into
laugh, "Oh! she was clipperl Trim as

though sunbrowned. showed peachy rud-
diuess, with eyes! ali! such great, brown,
swimming eyes,-that drove your soul

up into your throat aud left you speechless

To this sumptuous female Condrick laid
seige.
Ills progress was good.
AS tho shades at evening settled down
upon valley and hi he and his elarmer
took STROLL.
AS they walked along the meandering

What fires Of love burned in Condrick's
eyes! s
AS his ohNrmcr leaned trustingy upon
his arm, Heaven seemed TO descend aud
rest on the lowera aud nearest hill.
AS the murmur CT u bes in rose was
her voice to his soul.
Seating themselves on grassy bank,
they gOzed together on tho darklmg eddies
OF tho gliding stream.
In glowing colors Condrick painted for
the fair being by his side picture
Of tho wonder ul wealth hidden within
the rocky vaults of the WhiPporwil
mine.
Charmed by his eloquence and absorbed
in the contemplation of the picture he had
placed before her. she forgot all else and
gradually her beautiful head dropped
dropped lower and lower and finally
rested upon his bosom--his mauly chest.
Great Heaven thrill dartad through
his frame, and so affected him that It was
only by tremulous effort that ho could
smother the volcano of emotions swelling
within his bosom.
lie felt desire to bound to his feet and
utter wild whoopl
But no didn't.
No; he constrained his emotions he re-

Her great eyes closed wcarily, and the
silk of their curtains rested on hor cheek.
lie was happy rs he was, but he could
not be as he was forever.
She seemed to have the same thoughts.
She slightly raised her head. Its press
ure on his chest was not 30 great as former

He was distressed. Would she rise?

The thought was agony.
His head grew dizzy. lie felt himself

She put her arms about his neck, and

The Wealthiest Man-An Annual Ineomo
of $4,000. 900 i't1"

Alexander T. Stewart tho dry goods ma
bob OF New York, has the largest income of
any man in America, or (probably) in the
world. lie has lately paid an income tax
of S2500 900 Ion net income of fpe mil.
lions dollars!
This would bc the interest at G per cent,
of over eighty millions. We know of no
cases among the wealthy men of England
that surpasses or equals this; and we sup
poso A. 7. Stewart ia the "richest man"
living. Mr.. Stowarta annual business is
thirty millions, and his profits-as appears
by his tax-are five millions year. lIo
owns fourteen millious in real estate. Mo-
ses Taylor, who pays taxes on an income of
$500, 900, can scarcely bo called wealthy
man in comparison with Mr.. Stewart
What vast amount of COOL might be done
with such an income as Mr.! Stcwart's!-

Oh tho snow, tho beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and the earth below
Over the hOuso-tops, over the street.
Over tho heads OF the people yeu meet,
Dancing,
Flirting,
Skimming along;
Beautiful snow II can do no wrong,
FLYING tn kiss a fair lady's check,
Clinging TO lips In frOlicsome freak
Beautiful snow from the Heaven above,
Pure as an angel, gentle as love
Oh tho snow, the beautiful snow,
how the flakes gather aud laugh as they go1
whirling about IN its maddening fun,
II plays H. its CLEO with every one,
Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurrying by
i lighrs on the face mud sParklcs the eye
And even the dogs, with u bark and q bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around
The town is alive, ani tie hcart IN glow,
To welcome the coming Of beautiful snowi
How wild tho crowd goes, swaying along,
nailing each other with humor and song
How the gay sledges, like meteors fash by,
Bright Tor the moment, then lost TO the eyoI
Ringing,
Swinging,
DashinR they 60,
Over the crust Of the beautiful snow
Snow so pure when il falls from the sky,
TO be trampled in mud By the crowd rushing by
To DO trampled and tracked by thousands of feet
Till 1t blends with the filth in the horrible street
Once was pure as the suow--but l fell
Fell like the snow flakes, from Heaven to hell
Fell to be tramped as filth of the street
Fell to be scofItd, to be spit on aud beat
Pleading,
Cursing,
Drcading to die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for morsel Of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Merciful Godl have fallen so low
And yet was once like the beautiful snow.

SMOKE FoR THE CURE or WouYps.--A
correspondent of the Country Gentle
man recommends smoke as q cure for
wounds in men and animals. IIc says: "I
cut my foot with an axe. Tho lady of the
house, sezing tho foot while il was yet
bleeding freely, held it over a pan contain.
ing smoking tag-locks. In few minutes
the bleeding stopped, and the smoke was
removed, aud a baudage applied to protect
it from accidental blows. The wound
never suppurated and consequently never
paiued me- have seen the remedy triod
in many similar cases, and always with the
Same results.
Let tho reader bear in mind that no lini.
mont or slave, drawing or healing, should
be applied. You have merely to smoke tho
wound well, and nature will do the rest. I
suppose the smoke OF burning wood would
produce the same results, but il would not
be 30 manageable. There is q principle in
the smoke Of wool, which. when applied to
the flesh, coagulates the albumcn, thus rem.
dering ii unsusccptble of putrefaction:
The same principle stops bleeding by coag
ulating the blood. II promotes healing.
and may be applied with decided benefit to
all ulcers, wounds and cutano us diseases"
