Blow up the conductor ii he don't hold on

anybody else.
Give him gowdy if you are asleep or busy
talking, and don't hear him call the streets.
The conductor ought to know when you want
to get of, even if you do not yourself.

always do it with your face towards the rear

The rule is that car shall only stop on the
i further side OF crossing. Always expect il
to stop on the wrong side, and find fault with
the conductor because he don't break orders.
If conductor observe your signal and stops
his car for you, don't hurry any, even if you
are square or more away. The other pas

pleasant towards you.
Never have the change ready for pack of
tickets, and abuse the conductor because he

BY carefully observing the above rules,
street car travelling will be rendered vastly
more pleasant than at present.

The following, says the Vincennes Sun, is
c. true copy OF an application filed with the
County Clerk, on the 2Sth ult., by party
living in this county. We omit the name of
the applicant: ,s1A
State Of Indiana, County of Knox, IS.
Knox County Common Pleas Court, Janu-
5 airy Term, 1S67:---represents to Your
Honor that he is the husband of Harriet
. Campbell; that he has been for more than a
year past bona .fde resident of said State
of Indiana, and is now a bona tide resident
of said Knox County; that he married said
Harriet on the third day of November, 1859 ;
that they lived and cohabited together as
husband and wife until the 25th. of August,
1866; that during this entire period OF time
he treated her I'M all respects as kind. faith
full and affectionate husband; that said Har-
riet on the day last aforesaid, aban-
doned him, your petitioner, without any
cause whatever, and went to Pike County,
Ind, where she has ever since remained !;
that he has often entreated her to return
home to the fireside which he has always
kept warm for her; that he has ever kept
fire blazing brightly on the hearth of their
humble home, and his arms have been spread
open all this time to receive her to his bosom.
He further says, and represents to your Hon
or, that he has written many aff.ctionate let
tiers to her, in which he has endeavOred to
soften her heart toward him: and one time
he wrote her letter, of which he here ap-
ponds copy: iraH zqk
My dearest Harriet, why have you left me,
Signing, and weeping all alone? nina
with none to talk to or caress me- jh
My wretched fate I much bemoan. 20
My eyes are swollen big with weeping,
My nose is red and swollen, too;

% AS have treated you before.
l say again, then, as said before, aA
Come back to your Johnny so true;
Come and stay at your home as before,
For theirs light in the window for you"
And your petitioner says and further rep
resents to your Honor that in response to all
his offers and entreaties, she has refused with
scorn and contempt to return to his home.
Wherefore he prays your Honor will hear
his prayers herein, and forever divorce him
from the said Harriet. ia 1872 ~

The Dnuntless BIRD.

The waters roar among the woods; q 2
= with heavy swing the torrent comes;
Tn the green meadows stand the floods;
The birds have left their messy homes;
The sea-gull inland waves his wings;
On bare branch the Robin sings.
The blossoms blue on sunken bank,
The red that leave a seeded urn,
With golden kings in fallen rank;
And brown as cedar in the fern;
And every cloud a shower brings;
Unblenching still the Robin sings.
And he hath known the tender walls
On April trees, the summer Lines
The moonlit songs of Nightmares,
The azure deep OF happier times
And now the howl of winter IlngS'
But still the dauntless Robin sings.
