A Difficult Question Answered.

Can any one. tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one of Adams
ribs, a hired girl wasn't made at the
same time to wait on her 1--WE can
easy! Because Adam never came whi-
ming to Eve with ragged stockings to
be darned, collar string to be sewed
on, or glove to be mended, "right
away, quick now ~ Because he new

not he. He made the fire and hung
over the tea-kettle himself, We'll ven
ture, and pulled the radishes, peeled
the bananas, and did everything else
that he ought to do. He MIXED the
cows, fed the chickens, and looked af-
ter the pigs himself. He never brought
home half dozen friends to dinner,
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegran-
ates and the mango season was over.
He never stayed out at night until
eleven O'clock to "ward meetings" :"
hurrahing for an out-and-out candidate,
and then scolded because poor Eve
was sitting up and crying inside the
gates. He never played billiards, noI
drove fast horses, nor choked Eve
with cigar smoke. He never loafed
around corner groceries, while solitary
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle al
home. In short, he didn't think she
was specially created for the purpose
of waiting on him, and wasn't under
the impression that it disgraced a mar

That's the reason Eve did not neet
a hired girl, and we wish it was the
reason that none of her fair descen
dants did, Fanny Fern.

guiding the mind of the youthful pio.

that remains to us Of her brief biogra
ply is, that she taught her son to read
the Bible. Near the village Of Gentry
vile, Spencer county, Indiana, is her
grave, a modest, grass-covered mound,
without headstOne or monument. A
few weeks before his tragic death, the
President expressed his intention, in a
letter to q friend, to visit the locality
and erect a suitable memorial over the
grave. A paper, in commenting on
this fact, remarks "he was not permit.

He raised no monument of marble to

token to her praise such as few moth

Miscellaneous.
Fruits OfRecOnstructiOn.

Rev. j. P. BardweIl, of Oberlin,
agent for the American Missionary AS
sociation in Mississippi, was lately en-
ticed into a law office in Grenada, Miss,
and set upon by ruffianly crowd that
gathered in the street, in open day
The missionary to the freedmen could
get no reason for the choking and beat
ing which they proceeded to admins
ter, except that he was working for the
niggers. The Bureau agent, Lieut..
Blanding, helped him wash the blood
from his face and advised complaint
at once to the Mayor. On reaching
the Mayors Office, Mr.. Bardwell found
that the man who had led the crowd
and had beaten him with stick, had
already been before the Mayor, made
complaint against himself, and paid
the fine of ten dollars imposed by his
Honor the Mayor, and was ready for
more work at the same price. Three
days after, Lieut.. Blanding, agent OF
the Bureau, was attacked on the street
and shot three times, and died in twen-
ty-four hours.-1Cin. Gaz.

A DARING FEAT.-The Montreal
Gazette describes q very daring feat of
one Of the Grand Trunk engineer dri-
vers. Mr.. r. Laughland, driver Of en-
gine No. 73, was coming down the
line on the 28th ult., with No. Z freight
train, when, on crossing round the
curve two miles west of Cornwall, he
saw drunken man sleeping on the
track. He Immediately whistled
down the brakes, which the conductor
and brakeman applied as quickly as
possible; but the distance was so short
that it was impossible to pull up in
time. Laughland Immediately ran
out on the cow-catcher, and, as the To-
comotive came up, he stopped forward
and seized the man by the neck, and
endeavored to pull him on to the cow
catcher, but being unable to do so,
jumped off with the man and succeed
ed in throwing him clear of the train.
The whole train of seventeen cars
passed the place before it could be stop
ped. On learning the facts, the au-
thorities ordered that two days pay
should be handed over to Laughand
as slight reward for his gallant con-
duct.

1t will be remembered that after the
surrender of General Lee the military
in Georgia captured 100000 in gold,
which was claimed by the Farmers ,
the Exchange, and the Bank of Vir-
ginia, at Richmond. Recent investi-
cations of the facts, however, show
that a few weeks before the evacuation
of Richmond the Legislature Of Vir-
ginia passed a law authorizing the
said banks to loan the Confederate
Government, upon the faith of the
State, 100000 of gold to purchase
supplies for Lees army. This sum
was placed by the respective banks to
the credit of the rebel Government,
and before the surrender of Lee $780,
600 was paid, leaving $240,000 be-
longing to the rebel Government with
these banks at the time of the evacu-
alton. The Government, therefore,
claims not only the 100000 captured
in Georgia, but also the $240, 900 addi-
tional in custody of the banks. This
is the present condition of thequestion.
The notes of these banks have been
bought upon the expectation that the
Government would relinquish its
title to the $240,000 of gold.

RaTIt seems that the Copperheads
are. anxious for the Cholera. The
Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Republic, who is said to be "a
Western man, in a letter to that paper,
advises the country to pray for tho
speedy advent of the Cholera at WASH
ington, for, in his opinion, "upon tho
first well authenticated case, Congress
will adjourn and the President will be
left to govern the nation" The idea
Is about as brilliant one as copper
heads are in the habit of getting up.
This fellow didn't reflect that the Pres
ident might be among the first to
"shuffie off this mortal COLL" on the
advent ofthe Cholera at the Capitol.

A DELICATE QUEsTION.-A bash
full and rather green young fellow In
vited young lady TO attend ball
with him one night last summer
The invitation was accepted, and the
couple appeared at the ball. After
dancing for some time, "greeny" saw
his partner sitting in one corner Of the
room, all alone. Now was his chance.
So he walked up to where the lady
was sitting, and sat down beside her.
All well, so far, but the bashful young
fellow was at loss for something to
say. He f1dgeted about considerably,
and was sweating profusely. Finally,
taking hold of his wilted collar ho
commenced conversation thus: "It's
powerful warm in this room.

THE LION AND THE Ass.-On one
occasion Mr.. Burke had just risen in
the House of Commons, with some pa
pers in his hand, on the subject ofwhich
he intended to make motion, when
a rough-hewn member, who had no
ear for eloquence, rudely started up and
said, "Mr. Speaker, hope the Hon.
Gentleman does not mean to read that
long bundle of papers, and to bore us
with long speech into the bargain. "
Mr.. Burke was so enraged as to be in
capable of utterance, and absolutely
made for the door to run out, when Geo.
Selwyn stopped him with the remark
that "it was the only time in his life
he had seen the fable realized of a lion
put to fight by the braying of an ass"

How TO CLEANSE A CIsTERN,-

articles can be obtained at almost any

King for pardon. The king returns a
gracious answer, and copy of his let

his return to Egypt; the awe with
which the kings presence inspired him;

Ere I'm numbered with the dead.
"Oi this loathsome, dreary prison,

No green fields in which to range;
