The love of neatness may lie carried to
excess, especially when It makes one forget
courtesy for cleanliness. Tins was especial
y the case with Col. s., when dining
with his friend Holmes. No sooner was he
seated at the table than, not liking the an
ptar0ncc OF his glass, he began polishing It
with his napkin. His host noticed the &C
ton, and said, uneasily, TO the waiter
Change the COlonel's glass" Another
glass was brought, whercupon the Colonel
picked up his napkin and recommended his
cleaning process. " How dare you bring
dirty glasses here 2" cried Holmes, anerilv.
Take ii away and bring another" A third
glass was set before the Colonel, who cody
set 10 work as before. Holmes, Too furious
TO speak, motioned to the servant, who once
more changed the glass. This time The
Colonel lost patience, and, turning angrily
around exclaimed "Do you want me 10
wipe all the glasses in the house?n The
harmonious conclusion of the dinner may

and support, clothe and bury her for 81, 600.
She has been hard working and faithful
wife, and has raised large family of chill
dren, who have never felt what it was to be
disgraced TILL now. Cne Of them, a young
man of twenty years and upward, cried like
a child when le heard Of the affair He had
oferod 10 support her himself if the old man
would give lin the iarm 10 do II with, which

WIDOWS AND THEIR WEEps-A fashion
correspondent thinks that under the present
reign of fashion the spiritual part of mourn
ing is being completely forgotten by widows.
Their dresses are OF the deepest coal black
it is true, but their jet ornaments are nv
flashing as the flame when coal is kindled.
They wear rich neclilets of black polished
stones, cut lance-shapcd or in pyramids.
linked by chains ali round Their snowy
throats; the same glitter as diadems In Their
ears. So much sparkle is devoid of calm
contented widowhood, and what makes tlle
matter worse is, that they dye their hair as
golden as chemical preparations can make
it.. So much incendidry mourning is to such
a degree combusiible that lady, while lately
admiIing a lovely creature in the glory ri
Sdowhood, expressed her unlimited plea
sure by saying that such toilette was enough
to make a vile look forward to her husband s
funeral with comfort

The Buffalo Courier and Republic of tile

feminine depravity:-"A young girl, named
Eliza MeArden, aged about eighteen years,
of rather more than ordinary good looks,
was brought into Station House No Salur-
day night, while suffering from terrible
attack of delirium tremens. A physician
was called in and morphine was administered
TO the unfortunate creature throughout the
entire night. Sunday morning hopes were
entertained that she would recover. Eliza
is said TO have been raised at or near Dan
vile, and losing both parents, came to this
city about six months since on a canal boat
Being beguiled from the path of virtue, she
was arrested for dsorderlY conduct and
sent to the workhouse for three months by
the Police Justice. Having served out her
time at the workhouse on Friday, the st
lust, and having no friends or home to go
to, she again resumed her abode in one Of
the dens in the lower part of the city, where,
making too free use of the poison sold in
that locality for whiskey, to drown her sor-
rows, was brought to the Station House, rs
stated above, n raving maniac. Had the
"lIome for the Friendless" been in operation

A nARD.woRKINa girl appeared before
justice in New York recently, aud said that
sho had been engaged by William Herbert,
German tailor, at No. 1874 Attorney street,
TO make pantaloOns at the rate of 1G cents 4
pair, and that after she had made the third
pair she demanded her money, which he
would not pay because, rs he said, he had
found n defect in tho work. A dispute or
curing, IIerbert's wife, Magdacna, attnck
ed the girl, and violently drove her from the
house. Herbert and wife on appearing iu
court admitted the truth OF the complaint.
and added, ON being questioned, that they
were paid SO cents for making each pair, 50
that they were realizing profit of 40 cents
clear from every pair of pantaioons made
by the girls iii their employ. Under the
threat of instant imprisonment, Herbert paid
the sewing girl her due, but his wife, upon n
complaint made against her for assault, was
temporarily locked up in default of $500 hail.
Justice Mansfield spoke of Herbert's offence
