Lovers and Husbands,

husbands, am talking to you. WHY
don't you pay the same little attention to YOUR
wives after marriage as before When YOU are
"courtlnG' the dear little creature is an object
OF constant sollcltude on your part She must
take care of her feet on damp evening. You
softly whisper in her ear that she must take
care OF her health for your sake. What charm
ing disinterestcdness for your sake, not for
hers. Ihen you very tenderly wrap her
shawl about her, and keep your arm there to
prevent the little witch from taking cold.-
Always on the alert, very thou ghtful are these
lovers for their intended comfort their memo
rles are very retentive.
But, husbands, can you inform me why it
is that you lose your memories so soon after
marriage! Why tits that many of ou q will
not say alD neglect to pay these little atten-
tons to your wives that are so essential to a
womau's happiness. Is it because she is less
dear to you than of yore? Do You weary of
her who left home, parents, brothers and sis
ters for your sake-giving her happiness to a
strangers. keeping? Do you weary of her
you promised to love and cherish till death
parts you! Is this the return YOU make for
all she gave you? Those many little name
less attentions that make courtship so delight
tu!, ought not to be discontinued after mar
rage. They are just as acceptable then as

husbands, they are the cream of woman's
hie-the flowers of her existence; flowers
whose tragance never pals on the senses.
If you want your wife to study your COM
fort and taste, show that you appreciate her
efforts to please you, by praising her. 1t goes
great ways with women Avoid finding
fault on every occasion. Many clouds have
arisen in the domestic sky occasioned by
fault finding Lovers, do not bestow all yonr
attentions on your sweethearts, but reserve
few for your wives.

Past prepares for him, however, very

written by him in 1861 and 1868 The first
two were written in the autumn of 1861. to

La his letters to Estrada he reiterates with
emphasis the views expressed in the commits

refers to MaXimilian in these words:

The final letter is from Santa Anna to
MaXimilian himself, Dec %, 1863, after
Max was on his throne. 1t is written in the
cxaggeration of diplomatic Spanish;-

The Mitten.

About seventeen years ago, there was fair
girl, so pure, SO lovely, SO refined, that she
rises to my mind, as almost akin to the angels.
She was wooed and ultimately won by hand
some young maU Of considerable wealth. He
sported u fine team, delighted in hunting,
and kept pack of hounds. He neither pIaV-
cd cards, drank wine, nor used tobacco. lie
had no occupation, no calling, no trade. He
lived on his money, the interest Of which
would have supported man handsomely
L never saw the fair bride till few days ago.
Seventeen years had passed away, and then
her beauty and her youth, her husbands for
tune and his life, during the latter part of
which. they lived in log cabin on the bauks
OF the Ohio near Blennerhassett's Island-a
whole family in one single room, subsisting on
water, fat bacon and corn bread. The hus-
band had no business capacity. He was u
gentleman of education, Of refinement. of no.
bic impulse; but when his money was gone
he could get no employment, simply because
lie uLd not know how to do anything. For
awhile he HOunder9d about-first tryincy oDc
thing, then another; failure was written on
them ALL
He, however, finally obtained situation

he over-worked himself and died, leaving his
widow and six little children in utter destitu-

GUS and beautiful girl had become broken
hearted, care-worn, poverty stricken widow.

RATES OFeADyERTlsINc
Nitro-Glycerine.

Mr Nobel, the inventor of the Destructive
compound, nitro glycerine, has been enCieeaySSS
Gr'ng TO convince the savans of New. YS,sH
that the oil Is not Us dangerous as gGoaox
der. lie showed, Icy placing the oil upoSrSH$
auV;i, that 1t would only explode upou EheIpts
struck WITH hammer. at the point OfssotS-
tact all the rest of the oil remainipr~,ine5
Pioded He showed, also, that the ordinary
conditions necessary to explosions are, that
the nitro-g lycerine shall be heated to three
hundred degrees. To effect this. a portion Of
the oil in u vial was put into wooden box
aud surrounded with saw dust. The latter
was set on lire by means of a fuse: when the
saw dust caught it burned with heat equal
to three hundred degrees, which were re-
quired, and the consequence was q frightful
explosion.
Having done that much, and having shown
the etect OF the compound, in blasting rocks,
Mr.. Nobel rested from his labors, apparently
satisfied with his demonstration that nitro-
giycerlne Is an innocent fluid, perfectly harm
less. unless extraordinary means are taken to
explode it And yet Mr.. Nobel has not sat-
lshed the doubling, as to the innocuous char
acter OF his production. In the explosion ut
the Wyoming Hotel, New York, the box was
on hre when 1t was taken into the street,
Now, how did the fire commencc2 Had the
bottles broken and produced spontaneous
combustion in the saw-dust?
at San Francisco the boxes which exploded
were not on fire, and those who handled them
were unaware that there was anything pecu-
liar about the packages. At Aspinwall, tho
immediate circumstances attending the ex-
ploslon are unknown. in consequence OF tho
death of the crew and Iaborers engaged in
getting out the cargo. 1t is not likely that
any one set fire to the boxes. Nor was the
heat of the hold ofthe vessel, even in that
tropical latitude, as high as three hundred
degrees. Except in the Wyoming Hotel cx-
Plosion, there is no evidence of heat being
applied to nitro-glycerine, and yet the consc-
quences were fearful in Panama and Califor-
MIA.
1t is evident that Mr. Nobel does not vet
understand the qualities ofthe terrible liquid
which he has invented. His theories may
be correct as to the character of the oil when
it is fresh, but after it has been manufactured
some time it evidently undergoes chemical
changes, which renders it unsafe to store or
carry.-PhHadeLohia Inquirer.

Influence of Female Society.

1t is better, says Thackery, for you to PASS
an evening once or twice IN a lady IS drawing
room, even though the conversation is slow
and you know the girls song by heart, than
in club, tavern, or the pit of theatre. AN
the amusements of youth to which vittuous
women are not admitted, rely on it. are
deleterious in their nature. All men VIII,
avoid female society have dull perceptions,
and are stupid, or have gross tastes, and revolt
against what ispure. Your club swagyerers
who are sucking the butts of billiard cues ali
night, call female society insipid. Poetry is
insipid to yokel; beauty has no charms for
blind man; music does not please n moor
beast who does not know one tune from an
other; and as a true epicure is hardly ever

about her girl coming out, or her boy at col

One Of the great benefits man NAV de-
rive from woman's society is, that he is bound
to be respectful to them Tho habit is of
great good to your moral man, depend upon
1t. Our education makes Of us the most
emlnently selfish men in the world. We
tight for ourselves, we push for ourselves,
we yawn tor ourselves, we light our pipes,
and say we won't go out; we prefer ourselves,
and our case and the greatest good that
comes to man from a woma1Ss society is.
that he has to think for somebody besides
himself, somebody to whom he is bound to
be constantly attentive and respectful

"ONLY A LITTLE BRooK"-A simple
but very touching incident has been related
to us, says the Maine Press, in connection
with the last moments of a beautiful little
girl in Bath, who lately died at the age of
nine years and eleven months. A very little
while before she died. as the sorrowing friends
stood around her, watching the last faint NOV
ings of the gentle breath, the last faint lut-
tering of the little pulse, they became aware,
from her broken words, that she shrank with
natural dread from the unknown way that
was opened before her. She had come to
the borders of the mysterious river which sep-
crates US from the hereafter, and her timid
feet seemed to hesitate and fear to stem the
flood. But after time, her fear subsided,
she grew calm, and ceased to talk about the
long, dark way till at the very last, she bright
ened suddenly, as smile of ofcoufdence and cour-
age lighted up her sweet face 'Oh, it is on
ly lite brook ?' she cried, and passed
over t. the heavenly shore.

Maximilian, unfortunately, did not profit
by Santa Annals offer of service, and did
not shower honors upon him. The old
stager in whom the fires of ambition burn
ardently as ever, has now gone to work to
upset the throne, or put some one on it who
knows better how to appreciate merit He
has certainly a bad record to contend with.
He is almost as inconsistent as a Radical
politician Of this country.-Rtch. Emo.

Lose nREssEs.-We do not see one lady
In ten walking the streets, says a venturesome
c'temporary, without constant fdgetti1g
with the long skirts of her dress. Some pin
them up at regular spaces. giving them very
rrmpied appearance; others wear "pages,"
or an elastic cord just below the waist, pull
ling up the dress just as our grandmothers
used to do when they went to scrub the kit
chen; others frantically seize the side breadths,
holding them in front, having the appearance
of u desperate determination of sitting down
the first convenient opportunity. Some walk
on, letting their dress hang, are suddenly
brought upon the front breadth, stumble,
founder pull up, and try it again. Now ali
this could be avoided. Modesty and respect

would save the amount the goods cost, and as

The Long Ago.

The scenes of our childhood seem as a
pleasant dream, long since dreamed The
past-the days when we were what We are
now no longer.
Who that has taken many steps on tho
road to mortality, does not love to lipger on
past scenes? The visions rise before US, soft
ened and meIlowcd by the hues-thc IDEAL
