The Wheeling Girl Who Shot Her
Lover.

From the Wheeling West virginia. Register.
William j. McNash, a nail feeder
in the Riverside Mill, has for long
time kept company with Miss Matte
Batham, and it has been thought
they were to be married. During (
the past summer they were formally
engaged. Believing in him, and i'm
plicity trusting i'll his word, she
trusted him too far. AT length,
when likely to become mother, she
called upon him on Monday eve
ming last and demanded the fulfill
ment of his promise.
To aggravate her, it would seem,
on last Thursday evening he told
her that elf she intended to do any
thing she must do it quick, for he
would be married to another girl in
few days" Maddened by her con-
dition and his threatened desertion,
she determined to compel him to
keep his faith with her, or take such
revenge as she was capable of giving.
On Monday night, as we have said,
she went to his boarding house
about supper time, and demanded
that he should tell her whether he
would marry her. He refused to
give her the least satisfaction, but
promised to give her an answer af-
ter. supper. He never went neal

FRIEND "Jerry" is good.na'
tured, civil fellow, who attends
to his business and provides
well for his family, but has one
little failing, IN this, that when
he goes to his home in the
suburbs at night, he is usually
more or less under the -in-
luence OF contraband fluids.
One night, little after dark,
he started for home with nice
turkey, safely done up in
strong wrapping paper, under
his arm. "Jerry" found the
road from the station to his
pretty cottage, some half mile
distance, uncommonly rough
that night. He several times
stumbled and fell over all sorts
of Instructions in the path.
Ea3h time he fell he dropped
his turkey, but contrived to
pick it up again. On entering
the house he seated himself as
as we'll as he could, and said
to his wife, "Here, wifey, I've
got 'leven turkeys for YOU"
eleven turkeys, Jerry! What
do ye mean? There's only

The Newspaper Business.

The editor of the Gallipolis
Journal lately spoke, after the
old.fashioned stereotyped style,
about a brother editor who
had obtained a new suit Of
clothes, as if editors are too
poor to have such things! And
some other editor makes a
wonder that the editor of the
Portsmouth Republican shou' d
be found with 50 National
Bank note!
Now, this talk should be
played out. Editors are not
poor as a class; and the news.

NO LOVE IN A COTTAGE FOR NE.
BY CASSIUS.
They may talk of love in cottage,

They may talk of love in q cottage,
And bowers oftrellised vine
Of nature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids halfdivine.f sleeping
They may talk of the pie lures OF
In the shade Of a spreading tree,
And walk i'm the fields at morning,
BY the side ofa iOotstep free!
But give me n sly Irritation
BY the light of a chandelier
With music to play in the pauses
And nobody very near;
Or a seat on silken sofa
With glass Of pure old wine,
And mamma too blind to discover
The small hite hand in mine.a
Your love in a cottage is hungry,
Your vine q NJ st for flies
Your milkmlid shocks the Graces,
And simplicity talks of pies
You lie down in your shady slumber
And wake with bug in your ear,
And your damsel that walks In the
morning.
Is shod like mountaineer,
True love Is at home on n carpet,
And nightly likes his ease
And true love has an eye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady. trees.
His wing is the fan of a lady,
His f0Ot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with a jewel
And shot from silver string.

A medical journal in New York has made
tie discovery that half the diseases which
affect modern humanity, are to be attributed
to carpets. The writer asserts that carpeted
rooms constantly occupied contain millions
of particles of hair, cuticle, epithelium,

which, set in motion by the trailing skirts of
the women, make the air alive with infection
and fill our nostrils and lungs with the seeds

KEY TO CHARACTER The differences of
character are never more distinctly seen til an
in times when men are surrounded by difficult
ties and misfortunes. There are some who,
if disappointed by failure in an undertaking
from which they expected great things,
make up their minds not to exert themselves
against what they calf ate; Others despon-

will rouse themselycs in such moments, and
say to themselves s'the more difficult it is to
attain my ends, the more honorable it will

mortal life is just like the fire on that hearth.
We put on the fresh fragment, and the

into coal. The heat is fercer, and the more
