A young married man named David,
who took unto himself wife only this winter
and located at Santa Fe, was in town few
days ago endeavoring TO effect loan Of
twenty dollars from his acquaintance, to
bay, as he alledged, coffin for his dead wife.
The fact that he walked into town two days
previous, didn't seem to be very sorely ais
tressed over his domestic affection, were re-
garded as suspicsous circumstances, and con-
sequently the loan was not negotiated. The
disclosure was made, yesterday that David's
wife is well and hearty That David is on the
tramp, and sought the accommodation to
pay his expenses to 'parts unknown sec
ton ofcountry, by the way, that must, by
this time be settled as thickly as the Neither

the woman dropped to the ground. The

the surprise of every one who was appgise-.
of the occurrence to find her comparatively
unhurt. She had dropped to the ground the

A second sooner or a second later she would
have been torn to fragments, as At no other
point within fifty miles could the same thing
have happened.
The escape was marvellous. seemingly

Az Issocrrr souL-About two months

AN INNOCENT SoyL.--About two months
ago Abjah Small, an innocent youth OF
twenty-four, welded the blushing Miss Shap-
pley, then a resident of this city, in tho bosom
Of her fathers family. Shortly after Abijah's
marriage the family moved to the country,
Abijah and his better half accompanying it
for, be it known, Abijah was not "fore-hand-
cd man, and made cad work Of it at the In
gathering of filthy lucre. He could, in fact
scarcely take care of himself. fst
Abah had been married eight weeks 10
day, when Mrs. Abijah gave birth to bounc-
ing boy, Here was n surprise for Abijab,
and a fire-brand for the rest Of the family.
The old man became ungovcrnably angry.
lie had been "nurturng viper" ct eetera
and 50 forth, all Of which Abijah failed to
comprehend and greatly wondered at He
protested that he was innocent of any pur-
pose TO be viper or any other kind Of a
reptile. True Mrs. Abijah had been quick
about 1t, but he wasn't to blame, "'pon his
honor hc' wasn't" But the old gentleman
wouldn't be Modified. The moro he conned
the matter over the more angry he became,
until, in fit of rage, he booted Abijsh off
the PREMISES. Penniess and without a second
shirt to his back, the young man left the
neighborhood, thinking the old man "a little
hasty' but not much TO blame after all. If
Sally, for such was his wifes name, gave
birth to a child every two months, that would
be six year, and such a rate of increase would
soon eat the old man out Of house and home
That was the secret OF the old mans anger,
but it was the queerest thing in Sally he had
"hearn on, to employ hs own elegant die
ton, "sincc the old COW died. And Il was
rather queer, wasn'tit? D.
