A BACHELOR is perhaps never in SO

A BACHELOR is perhaps never in SO great
danger of being caught as when be has
come to the conclusion that he perfectly sees
through the mothers little game, and merely
means to amuse himself by carrying on a
strictly guarded Irritation with the daughter.
We mean, of course, under the assumption
that the daughter is either a pretty or clever
girl with whom any sort of Irritation is in
itself perilous. His danger is all the greater
if it happens and it is only fair to young
ladydom to admit that it often does happen
that the daughter has sufficient spirit and
selfrespect to repudiate all share in the ma
terual plot. Many a man has been half
surprised, half piqued into serious courtship
by finding himself vigorously snubbed and
rebuffed where he had been led to imagine
that his slightest advances would be only
too eagerly received. Bot in any case, the
match maker knows that if she can only
bring the two people whom she wishes to
marry sufficiently into each others society,
the battle is half won. According to Lord
Lytton, whom every one will admit to be
an authority on the philosophy of Irritation
'proximity is the soul of love-" And ELI
gible bachelors complain that it becomes
every day harder to avoid this perilOus prox.
unity, and the duty of "paying attention,
which it implies, without being positively
rude.

Her robes Of purple Ger thy SHOWS
Robes Of purple tingsd with rosei
Wrapt in silence, cold, no sign

Where all day the whirlwind blows
Never breath Of summers bloom
Up from the bright Mug valleys come,
To warm or gladden. thy bleak home J
Proudly as princes wear ermine,
None less proudly wear thou thine
Since decended through long line

Lineage like thine none can claim
Born Of sulphurous smoke and flannel
Never a sound through ages gone,
Told to man what thou had'st known
Stern, grim mount, by keen winds shorn
Never a sound save sitting snow
Never hint of FIRE below

Under a mein of frowning pride,

That within our breasts may glow
Hearts of fire that burneth slow

"THAT's new article for beautifying the

up ever SO many rostrums for beautifying
the complexion, and depend upon it, the less
people have to do with bottles for it, the
better. My neighbOr, Mrs. BlOche, has
been using bottle for good many years,
for her complexion, and her nose looks like
a rupture Of Mount Vociferous, with the
burning lather running all over the CON-
tieuous territory" Mrs. Bibb informed her,
with a smile, that this was cosmetic for the
outside, and not to be taken internally,
whereupon she subsided into the toe of lke's
stocking, but murmuring something about
the danger of its "leaking in" nevertheless

ANTIDoTE FOR PoIsoNs.-A plain farmer
says: at is now more than twenty years
since 1 learned that sweet oil would cure
the. bite of a rattlesnake, not knowing It
would cure other kinds of poison of any kind,
both on man and beast | think no farmer
should be without a bottle of it in his house.
The patient must take spoonful Of it inter-
nally, and bathe the wound for a cure. To
cure a horse it requires eight times as much
as it does for a man. Here let me tell Of
one of the most extreme cases of snake bites
in this neighborhood. Eleven years ago this
summer, where the case had been thirty days
standing, and the patient had been given up
by his physicians, heard of it, carried the
oil and gave him one spoonful, which effec-
ted cure. 1t is an antidote for arsenic
and strychnine. 1t will cure bloat in cattle
by eating too freely of fresh clover; ii will
cure the sting of bees, spiders, or other int
sects, and will cure persons who have been
poisoned by low running vine growing in
the meadows, called ivy"

SENAroR CoNKIINa AsA PuaILIsr

SENATOR CoNKLING As PUGILIsT.-
Apropos of the pngilistic accomplishments
of Mr.. CoDkling a very good story is told
Muscle is his mania, and his leisure hours
are passed with the dumb. bells, of which he
can ''put up" great weight, or the boxing.
gloves, in the use of which he is quite an
adept. Being man several inches over six
feet in height, be is an ugly customer to
tackle. While Dan Kerrigan was member
from Brooklyn, Conkling saw fit to be quite
polite to him, but in a way that offended
Kerrigan, as Conkling always led conversa>
tion to him to sporting topics; and, though
probably not intending to do SO, conveyed
the impression to the Brooklyn member that
the Utica representative thought he (Kerri>
GAM knew nothing of other matters. One
day Conkling told Kerrigan he should like
to put on the gloves with him. Dan said
he was not much of a boxer, and besides was
too small man to contend with Ros coe, but
that friend of his was good sparrer, and
he would bring him to Conkling's room that
evening, if agreeable. The appointment
was made, and Dan appeared punctually, ac-
companied by a friend nearly as large as
Conkling. The gloves were spec lily donned,
aud the sparripg commenced, Kerrigan oc>
cupying himself the while in arranging in a
line on the table the inkstand, paste bottle,
glasses, and other articles of Congressmen's
table furniture. AS the boxers spared
about the room, Coukling "got in" seYeral
blows, light ones, but was not struck until
he reached position in line with the string
of "skulch" arranged by Kerrigan, when the
stranger led outa straight hard blow on the
Congressman's mob, which sprawled him fat
in the midst of Dams preparations. Conk,
ling rose rather discouraged, like the COW
when the locomotive knocked her down the
embankment, and his opponent handsomely
apologized, and expressed his surprise at
succeeding in hitting a boxer so superior to
himself Roscoe kept his temper, and secs
ond time they went at it, but again when
Oonkling reached the proper position he was
''laid on the table," like a Democratic bill
iD the House of Representatives A third
time the operation was repeated, when the
Congressman, disguised, laid aside the gloves,
and learned afterWard that Kerrigan's
friend was Ned Price, the celebrated boxer.

BUTLER ON SURRATT.-On the 2lst oi
March, in the House of Representatives
when the proposition to give one million
dollars to relieve the poor of the South was
up for consideration, very lively-even bit
ter-debate Occurred between several Re-
publican members, during which General
Benz. F. Butler relieved himself of the fol-
lowing, which he discharged at the head Of
Mr. Bingham, of Ohio:
The gentleman has had the good taste tc
attack me for the reason that could NOT
do any more injury to the enemies of my
country l did the best could other men
Of more ability could do more; and no man
is more ready to give the higher plaudit fol
their valor, their discretion, and their con.
duct, than myself. Because l could not dc
more l felt exceedingly chagrined If dur.
ing the war the gentleman from Ohia, Mr.
Bingham, did as much, / should be glad to
recognize that much done but the only
victim of tie gentleman's prowess that
know of, was an innocent woman hanged
upon the scaffold. His only victim in the
war was one Mrs. Surratt. can sustain the
memory of Fort Fisher, if he and his associ.
ates can sustain him in the blood of a wo'
man shed by q military commission, and

HENRY WARD BEEoHER ON FAST
HoRsEs.-Mr. Beecher descants thus "It
horse has had swiftness put into him, it is
fair to give him a chance to develop
his gifts. Of course there is reason in all
things. Even in trotting, it is easier and
pleasanter for some horses to go twelve miles
an hour than for others to go three. They
were made SO. Does it hurt swallow to
go swifter than an OK? Why not? Because
be was made so. 1t is easy to do the thing
we were made to do easily. And a good
horse was made to go fast. He does it,
when wild, of his own accord. He does
not lose the relish of speed even when do
mesticated Take q fine fed horse, which
in harness looks as if he were the pattern OF
moderation, very deacon of sobriety, and
turn him loose in pasture. Then, what a
change! He takes one or two steps slowly,
just to be sure you have let 60 of him, and
then with squeal he lets fly his heels in
the air, till the sun flashes from his polished
shoes; then off be goes, faster and 6ereer,
clear across the lot, till the fence brings him
up And then, his eye flashing, his name
lifted and swelling, his tail up like kings
scepter, be snorts defiance to you from afar
and with a series of rJali Igs, runnings, sides
ways and plungiugs, whiskings and whirls,
he starts again, with immense enjoyment,
into another round of running. Do you not
see it is more than fun? 1t is ecstacy. 1t
is horse'rapture !"
