GRAY Mare the Better Horse.

This well.known proverbial sayinl
originated from the following circum
stance. A gentleman of q certain
county in England, having married
young lady of considerable fortune
and at the same time possessed o
many other charms, he found, not Ions
after marriage, that she was of higt
domineering temper, and always con
tending to be mistress both Of him an(
his family; therefore he formed the
resolution of parting from her. Ac
oordngly he waited upon her father
and told him that he found his daugh
ter Of such a temper that he was
heartily tired Of her, and if he would
take her home again he would return
every penny Of her fortune.
The old gentleman, having inquired
into the cause of his complaint, asked
him why he should be more dsquieted
at il than any other married man, since
it WAS the common case with them all,
and consequently no more than hemi9ht
have expected when he entered into
the married state. The young gentle
man desired to be excused if he said he
was so far from giving his assent to
this assertion than he thought himself
more unhappy than any other man, as
his wife had spirit no way to be
quelled, and most certainly no man who
had sense Of right and wrong could
ever submit to be governed by his
wife.
"Son," said the old man, "you are
but little acquainted with the world if
YOU do not know that all women gov
ern their husbands, though not all in
deed by the same method; however,
to end all disputes between us, ! will
put what have said upon. this proof
if you are willing TO try it. / have
five horses in my stable you shall
harness these to q cart, in which shall
put a basket containing one hundred
eggs; and if, in passing through the
county, and making a strict inquiry in
to the truth or falsehood of my asser-
ton. and leaving horse at the house
of every man who is master ofhis fam
ily himself, and one egg only where The
wife governs, you shall find your eggs
gone before your horses, hope that
you will then think your own case not
uncommon, but will be contented to
60 home and look upon your wife as
no worse than her neighbors. If, on
the other hand, your horses are gone
first, l will take my daughter home
again, and you shall keep your fcr-
tune"
This proposal was too advantageous
to be rejected. Our yonng married
man therefore set out with great eager
ness, to get rid, as be thought, OF the
horses and his wife. At the first house
be csme to he heard woman with a
shrill and angry voice call to her hus-
band to 90 to the door. Here lie left
an egg, you may be sure, without ma
king any further inquiry. At the next
he met with something Of the same
kind, and at every house in shcrt until
his eggs were almost gone. when he ar

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
THE OLD MAN DREAMS.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

o for one hour of youthful joy!
Give back my twentieth spring!
I'd rather laugh bright-haired boy
Than reign gray-beard king!
OFF with the wrinkled spells of agel
Away with learning's crown!
Tear out lifc's Wisdom-writtcn page,
And dash its trophies down!
One moment let my life blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame!
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
Oflife all love and fame.
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And, calmly smiling, said,
"If | but touch thy silvered hair,
Thy hasty wish hath sped.
"But is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished forday?'
All. truest soul of womankind!
Without thee, what were life?
One bliss cannot leave behind:
I'll take-my precious-wife!
The angel took sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew,
"The man would be Il boy again,
And be a husband too.
Sand is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears? @
Remember, all their gifts have fled
With those dissolving years?'
Why, yes; for memory would recall
My fond paternal joys;
/ could not bear to leave them all;
I'll takc--my-girl-and-boys!
The smiling angel dropped his pen,--
"Why, this willnever do:
The man would be boy again,
And be father too!'
And SO laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noisc,-
And wrote my dream, when morni
foke'
To please the gray-haired boys!

What might have been u very serious railway ac-

Livingston bridge, six miles south OF Hudson this
morning. The first Atlantic Express Is due at
CatsSil station at haifpast one A. W., but does
stop there. soon after passing there this morning
and when within one hundred yards OF Livingston
bridge, the engineer Mr.. Charles Melius suddenly
observed that the switch which lets trains on to
single track at that point was misplaced. He IN
stanty shut of steam, wstled for breaks, reversed
his engine and pulled the patents, but
THE WARNING DID NOT COME SOON ENOUGH.
The locomotive and four express cars OF the Ma.
tonal and Merchants Union Express Company ran
on the switch and Off 1t, turning upside down, and
were completely wrecked. All the platforms and
bumpers Of the sleeping aud passenger cars were
broken, and the bodies OF some OF tile cars were
also badly broken; but strange TO say no one on the

Tho Removal of tho Br0okIya Navy Yard.
New London papers are again agitating tho
subject Of the removal Of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and Its transfer to that locality. The
question whether the yard shall be removed
at all, at least fer the present, is stll meoted
one. But taking the matter fairly in view, In
all Its bearings, IL is certainly apparent that
the proposed removal would be benefit to
our growing sister city. An immense amount
OF valuable and available property, including
very extensive water front, would by this
means be threwn open to private enterprise
and capital, and business generally would
receive marked and permanent impetus. AS
to proper site for the new yard numerous
suggestions are made, but it is generally con-
csded that the true locality for the naval estab-
lshment in this section Is at some point on tho
Hudson river, twenty or thirty miles above the
metropolis. bordering on Tappan Zee, for
example. Here there is every facility for the
erection of navy yard upon magnificent

that might be brought to bear in favor of the

doubt not will be introduced by General

the question Of the sale of the property at an
