The Struggle for Life - A
Gloomy but True Picture.

Gloomy but True Picture.
The Round Table is painting a
very discouraging picture of the
hardships and poverty among the
masses of the people, arising from
the oppressive burthens which the
tax collector is directly or Indirect
ly laying upon their shoulders.
The writers says:
"Almost everywhere there are
signs of pinch and grin. 1t is
hard work to pay the rent, butch
er, the grocer and baker; hard
work to pay for the children's
,, schooling and clothes; cruelty
hard work to squeeze out the in-
stalments for the summer jaunt or
sewing machine with many, every
little comfort or luxury once a
matter of course is now either en-
tirely cut off or measured out with
an anxious scrutiny, hesitating g
caution, that turns tho pleasure
halfinto pain. Friends whisper to
each other that they do not see
how they can pay their way this
this year and live. The cher
ished scheme of sending the eldest
boy to college must be given out.
The hope Of buying the pleasant
little country home must be for
gotten.
The piano the patient wife has
been waiting for these many long
years, must be put off to an in
definite future. Meanwhile, to
keep soul and body respectfully to-
gether, most people are working
harder than they ever worked in
their lives. They are wearing out
the physical machine by running
it a baleful speed, and keeping up
appearances at the cost Of nerves:
peace of mind, and at the chance
Of a healthy old age. This is nc
exaggerated picture. 1t is fami,
liar to almost every eye that rests
upon this page. Only the very
rich are just now thoroughly at
ease-although even their serenity
is too often inspired by the spec
ulative mania, that so few having
anything to speculate with, escape;
while nearly every one in the com,
munity who has to work for bread
who depends on a salary OF
stated wages for stated works.
in a chronic alienation or appre-
hension and despondcncy."

WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1869.

The following extract was hand
ed US yesterday by an Ex-Gov-
ernor, who told us it came to a
gentleman of our city under cover
Of a beautifully rose-tinted and
cologue-scented envelope, super
scriped in the exquisite handwrit-
ing of a lady, evidently refined
and cultivated one, as these, above
all others we have ever met, relish
a good joke, among which "Gob-
bling" stands pre-eminent.-DalIy

WHAT CAME OF BORROWING GEN
TLEMEN TURKEYs.-In former days
there dwelt in the brave Corn
cracker State, in close proximity
to each other, ayoung, buxom and
wealthy widow and a bachelor Of
scarcely more than her own age.
Both had inherited the property
and where comparatively strangers
to each others. But their planta-
tions joined, and many were the
acts OF neighborly kindness that
passed between them. Well, as
somebody sang to the witching
Widow Machree, the time arrived
when the "birds oin pairs" and
the widow found that although
she had plenty Of hen Turkeys,
she had none Of the other persua-
sion, they having mysteriously
misrepresentation she knew her
neighbor had plenty ola rare breed
and so sent Sambo over to borrow
couple. In due time be came
back with a large gobbler under
either arm, and a board grin on
his face.
"Well?" asked his mistress.
"Massa said," was the answer,
"dat he send dem turkeys, and
dat if they didn't answer he'd jest
come ober and gobble his own
SELF"
'Go back and tell him to come,"
commanded the widow with cheeks
like peonies.
The negro did as he was COM
manded-the horses Of the bache
lor was hitched that night until a
late hour at the post in front Of
the widows door-and there was
a wedding within three months.

The FRUITS OF LovE.-BeadtiA
full is it to contemplate what Love
does for this world only. How it
moves 10 efforts, spurs to success
kindles the desire or. gain, else
sordid, and cherishes a tenderness
fo- reputation. 1t dignifes even
the gaudy show of earthly luxury
and splendor to remember how far
this is the gift Of prompting af.
fection; how many of the beautiful
adornments are tokens Of love;
how much that would be folly, if
spent on selfish and sensual de-
sires, is sancti6ed and immortalized
by disinterested kindness for how
much lavish profusion true senti-
ment gravely pleads; how it alone
keeps the splendor undimmed on
the diamonds point, and the fine
gold unchanged 10 the bracelets
polish, and allows us to keep, wear,
or enjoy what we should be
ashamed toprocure. Loveprompts
US to toll, to endure, to forego and
10 sacrifice. Its children arc Pa
thence, Devotion and Hcroism.
Second only to Religion is it's mo!
tive and inspiration. How it sur:
rounds the dear object with every
comfort, privilege, and social ad:
vantage. with all the means Of
solid education and various az:
complishment! How it builds up
the spacious heart with the granite
strength of principle, and on the
front of sincerity shapes the orna.
ments Of grace!

STRANGE NUPTIALs-AN ANGRY
HUSBAND PARTS WITH HIS WIFE
AT THE ALTAR.-Some time since
we'll known young gentleman
appeared at ore of our metropoli-
tan churches with a very beauti-
full young lady, and, invoking the
services Of the minister, was inn
mediately united to her in mar,
riage. The lady appeared deeply
agitated, and there was a stern
determination visible on the coun.
tcnance Of the youth-a pale an.
cry face-evinelng anything but
joy in the nuptials. AS soon as
the ceremony was concluded the
man turned to the lady with the
remark: II have kept my prom
ise now-you are married to me )
but I will never look on your face
again"
There was a frantic appeal in
the girls action and tears she
begged, implored him to recall his
words-promised some wild things
better left unprinted-and then
sank fainting to the floor. The
man turned on his heel and quit
ted the apartment. What did it
mean?
The simple relation of facts
look like the coloring Of romance,
yet are they true in every partie-
ular. When it is further stated
that the parties are of high social
position, have numerous relations
and that they were utterly unat-
tended, the mystery will appear
more strange. Their friends have
tried vainly to reconcile the mat
ter. An obstinate silence greets
every appeal in behalf Of the lady,
and she, if indeed she can, refuses
any explanation.

A curious phenomenon occurred
in Bethel, Maine, last Sunday
night. A damp snow feel in tho
evening, which was followed by a
powerful wind that rolled it up
into balls frequently as Large as a
four gallon key. Hundreds of them
were counted in a single field. Pro-
fessor Cleveland described a SIM
liar phenomenon that occurred
about the year 1907 when they
were as large as barrel.

Too Much Married.

The Montpelier (Vt.) Journal
copies the following from pri-
vate letter, dated not thousand
miles from White River Junction /:
"They have got the funniest
snarl across the river that you
ever heard of. At a party last
week Ats, after exhausting
the ordinary games, and wanting
something new, mock marriages
were proposed. Accordin gly
names were drawn by lots, and
four couples stoodup obe married.
The ceremony was performed, and
they duly pronounced "man and
wife, by the laws Of the State and
before these witnesses" After
ward, they ascertaiued the man
officiating was a justice of the
peace and the parties were legally
married.! They are in the great
est alarm aboutit thatever was. One
Of them, Prof., Oft
Seminary, expects lady from be-
low in about a fortnight to marry
him, and nearly every one involv-
ed is expecting to be married right
away--one other gentleman to a la
dy below-and they feel like death.
They have ransacked all the law
books, and consulted authorities
far and near, and everything only
proves the knot still tighter. The
Justice has been fined $50 for each
couple. He says he is from an
other county, and cannot do busi-
ness here, and supposed the mar
riages not to be legal. 1t is GER
tainly a funny scrape, and made
still funnier by the fact that all the
parties belong to the "upper ten"
The best opinion is that they are
legally married, and can only be
divorced by the Legislature.

A TRUE LADY,-A true lady is
easily recognized iu public places
by the neat and tasteful dress, by
her quiet and unostentatious de-
meanor, and-if there is occasion
for her to speak-by her gentle
voice and choice language. Aloud,
harsh voice and "slang phrases
coming from those who in other
respects appear to have been we'll
brought up, always jars unplea-
sanity upon the hearer. There is
long list of unauthorized words
and phrases, which in common use,
and are supposed to give certain
zest to conversation, but which are
very far from being elegant. They
are coined in various places-in
the boarding school, IN the college,
in the store, and on the street.
One by one, they enter the family
circle, and become disagreeably
common. A man who continually
interlards his conversation with
words which the dictionary ig-
nores, does not thereby, increase
our regard for him and when we
hear a woman habitually using
'sslang," we cannot but feel that
she is wanting in that delicacy
and refinement which are the
brightest ornaments she can wear.
Indeed, it is very certain that the
frequent use of course and vulgar
words begets disagreeable con-
dition of mind. which may not be
realized by the possessor, but
which is very apparent to asso-
ciates,
