SEcEsu GHosT FoREsHADowED.-When
General Sherman's army occupied Savan-
nah, the citizens pleaded starvation and
asked to be fed. Amongst other applicants,
several ladies called upon the Provost Mar
shal of the Western District and unfolded
a horrible story of suffering and woe. The
gallant General B B---, impressed with
the tale, seated himself to write the order
for supplies. While so engaged, some re.
mark was made about termination of the
war. Whereupon one of the suffering ap-
plicants opened upon the General as fol-
lows:
"This warwon't be terminated until you
kill all the men, and then, women will fight
you, and if you kill all of us it won't be en-
ded then, for we'll come back as ghosts to
haunt YOU" This sanguinary oratiou, de-
livered with all the venom Of Southern
beggar, quite appalled, the General, who
quietly tore up the order he was writing,
saying:
"If such be the case, think you might
as we'll die of starvation, as then your
ghosts may be too weak to come back and
hauntus." And he coolly but politely bow
ed the lady mendicants into the street.

THE WIFE IN A BAG.
4 LESSON FOR MARRIED FOLKS


Involvedin gloomy thoughts, swain
Was sauntering DER sun-bright plain
False delicacy had made his mind,
For earthly blessings too refined
He thought him self foredoomed to know
Disgust in all things here below,
And chief among the woes of life
lie felt, or thought he felt his wife;
Her faults, 'twere hard to say or sing;
But still she was not quite the thing
Would fate permit to choose again
Oh double grief, which is in vain.
f" Not So" quOth Jove, in accents soft,
And bore the murmurer aloft
'There see those bags-now suit your wishes,
They hold not wind, as erst Ulysses,
But women, sir, besides they show
The qualities of all below
Now stand out there a mere beholder,
but lit them freely to your shoulder,
That which most commodous fits,
And to your back the nearest sits, fgt
VIII sure contain the maid, who best
OF all the earth can make you blest."
He bowed-the pleasing task begun,
And weighed them careful one by one,
This was too heavy-that too light
And none were yet exactly right,
And sung and easy. But at length
He finds one suited to his strength
He shoulders it--'' I've got it, Jove
lifts me neater than glove
In weight exact too-not hair
Defcient--nOI nor one to spare
Grant me, great king but such wife,
And I'm completely blest for life.'
" 'Tis yours" said Jove-" Unrip the binding,
And let us see the lucky fnding.n
Twas done-and wonderful to show,
Out popped his own dear wife below
MORALE
Shame burn thy cheeks preposterous elf,
Who made thee wretched but thyself?
Know heDceforth this, a truthful adage,
The faults in thee and not thy baggage!

THE FIRST NEEDLES. were first
made in London by negro from Spain, in
the reign of Queen Mary. He died, how
ever, without imparting the secret of his
art and it was lost till 1865, when it was
recovered in the reign Of Elizabeth. 1t
was one Elias Crowse, German, who
taught the English. The manufacture of
needles was literally lost to England for
nearly century but about 1850 it was
recovered by Christopher Greening, who set
tied in Long Crendon, in Buckngbamshire.
The reputation long enjoyed by Whitechap-
ell needles, points out the particular locali-
ty in London where the manufacture was
once carried on. At the present time the
largest number of needles are made at Red
ich, in Worcestershire at Hathersage, in
Derbyshire and in and near birmingham.
The product of Redich and its neighbor-
hood alone is very great. Even several
years ago it reached 100000 needles
per week.
