MY WIFE.
Tnere was time-there wAs n ,,,

She didn't use me sol
Twas "Robert," then or "Caudle. da.,,,
Or "dear," without the knob.
But now, | don't know how IL il,
She always calls me "Bob ~
She us'd to sing little song
About two turtle doves
That were exceedingly correct
And proper in their loves:
She doesn't sing that old song now, Z
But startles all the row
BY telling them eternally-
"The linnet wed the crow 2"
When came home of winter nights,
Extremely "high" or higher,
always found my coffee hot,
And slippers by the fire,
But now find hotter dish
Than coffee, and instead
of taking slippers on the foot,
take them on the head

Drawn tightly with "a curb, until
There's no resisting it.

But it's no use to try,
For there's something so imperative

as bis parents could wish. The other day.
while passing a. neighbor's, Nat saw brood

However, before he saw the owner coming up
the road, and not knowing what TO do with
the chicken to conceal it, at last succeeded in
crowding II into bis hat which he again placed
upon his head. But the chicken having a
longing for liberty, and being also pressed for
air managed to thrust its head through an

Mr.. Coughs Lecture on Curiosity

Mr.. Coughs Lecture on Curiosity.
Our citizens were furnished with an in
tellectual treat on last evening, by this
eminent lecturer on the above subject.
Mr.. Coughs enthusiasm, infused into the
lecture, held his hearers Pell-bound until
it was broken only by the rapturous ap-
plause of his audience. His definition of
curiosity was ''desire TO know what il in
the future, disposition to discover the
unknown, by research and inquiry; de-
sire to crafty the senses with what is new
or unusual ,, .aI Hsa
This motive 1t was that impclled Co.
lumbus to project his schemes and projects
until they eliminated in the discovery of
new world. Curiosity led Watts to in
vent an engine for the application of steam /;
a Morse to chain and subdue the Lightning
in its erratic course, until now it had be-
come 0 daily occurrence, for the former to
drive the ship across the ocean, and the
latter 10 fash the news from continent to
continent, tar beneath its sprging billows
Curiosity led the astronomer to explore
the regions OF space and bring toscience his
new found worlds while the chemist geol-
ogist and Psychologist were delving into
the mysteries of the structure Of our own
planet, and its inhabitants. This same
curiosity, when perverted from its legit-
mate channel, led to the many superstitions
of every age, cropping out in the signs and
Omens of astrology, the witches and old
wives fables and the many other frivolities
of belief which made up the train OF its
attendants. ...... ...
His appeal to the young men and women
to live worthy of their high rank In the
scale of being, was soul-inspirIng. and SUI
perbly grand in its application. They
were not the passing shadows of mo-
ment's duration, but destined to live to
eternity, forever approaching the "unap-
proachable,n and destined to have their
curiosity ever gratifed by new attain
ments in the scale OF progression, and at
each step to be greeted with the truth that
''it doth not yet appear what we vet shall
be" in the onward match to glory aud trne
perfection. hla tst1 i,at.
Mr.. Coughs ability to carieature his ideas
upon the stage is unsurpassed. The pre-
sentatIon OF his subject we think, however,
was overwroaght, and the force and effect
of his theme was weakened II not lost upon
his audience, by the violence and unnatur-
alness of his gestleulatlon, which at times
was inelegant and almost painful to his
hearers. His Illustrations were at times ex-
tremely Indierohs, and his hits Of the most
happy character. We think Mr.. Coughs

THE.W'AS - Stoc zss. -a,rhe titte road to
success is a fair, honest and upright way OF
doing business In all branches of trade.
Few, ifany succeed, permanently, by any
other course. What business men need, is
the respect and confidence of those who
deal with them. The truth of this theory
is fully illustrated in tlle case OIL, Schwatz,

Clothing Store No. lis Main street, In this
city From comparatively small begin
ming, less than two years ago, he has be-
come one ofthe most popular and extensive
clothing dealers in the city. His store is
daily thronged with customers, and his sue
cess has become a "flxed iact' in the bust
ness operations of Dayton The best thing
about II is, that when he sells his customers
goods once, they are always sure to come
back agaiB forthe simple reason that they
find he never deceives them-they can
always rely both upon his word and his
goods.
He wishes now to say TO his customers
and the public-especially to his country
friends-that he is now receiving the larg-
est and best stock of clothing ever offered
in Dayton. 1t has been selected with spe-
cial reference TO the holiday trade, aud
those who purchase will find every thing
as represented.
He takes this occasion to return his sin
cere thanks for the patronage heretofore
extended to him, and to assure his friends
that no efforts on his part shall be wanting
to merit q continuance of the favor and
confidence he has heretofore received. Fr
