A California editor is out in card
refusing to speak to any married ladies'
Of his acquaintance. Ilc says: "Wo
trust that our motive--which is pure
cowardice-will not be misc onstrued,
Somebody perishcs ANONYMOUSLY every

married women, and wo do not care to
have our turn come round. Deeply

grieved husbands. we make our bow and
retire. Hereafter our mods and smiles
will be lavished upon gi,ls and widows

THE WHOLE STORY.

Oh yes-I'll tell you the story,
Tho very words that were ssid
You see the supper was cooking,
And was s.icing some bread,
And Richard came into tho pantry, :.
His face was exceedingly red.
And he opened his hnlf-shut fingers,
And gave mo n glimpse Of ringj
And then--oh yes, remember,
The kettle began to sing.
And Fanny came in with her baby,
The cunningest bunch OF q thing.
And the biscuits were out in n minute
Well, whnt came next? Lot mo 500
Oh | oh, Fanny was there with her baby,
And VIC all sat dom to tea,
And grandma looked over her glasses
So queer at Richard and mel
But 1t wasn't till after milking
That Re said what ho had to say.
How Was it, Oh | Fanny had taken
Tho baby and gono away
The funniest rogue Of q fellow
lie had new tooth that day.
We were standing under the plum tree,
And Richard said something low,
But was tired and Austered.
And trcmbled, almost know;
For old Red is the hardest Of mixers,
And Brindlo go horribly slow.
Aud then-let mo seo-wherc was I?
Oh tho stars grew thick overhead,
And VIC two stood under the plum tree
Till the chickens few up to bed.
Well, he loves me, and we're to be married
And that is--about what ho said

A capital joke, and all the more palat.
able because it is true, and can be vouchcd
for. took place few Sundays since at one
of the most prominent Fourth street
churches 1t seems that worthy deacon
had been very Industrious in selling Il
new church book, costing IS cents. At
the service in question, the minister, just
before dismissing the congregation, rose
and said, "All you who have children to
baptise will please present them next
Sabbath" The deacon, who, by the way
was little deaf, and having an eye to
selling the books, and supposing his pas.
tor was referring to them, Immediately
jumped up aud shouted, "All you who
haven't any can get as many as you want
by calling on me, at Is cents each. y
The preacher looked cross eyed at the
brother, the brother looked at the cler-
gyman, tho audience punched the audi
ence in the side, the bubble grew large,
until it burst into loud guffaw; ladie.
colored up, crimsoncd, blushed, anc
thanked the Lord for tho low price Of.
peopling the earth. There was no bene
diction that morning worth speaking o.
The deacon, after he had found out hi
mistake, changed his pew from the from
of the chuch to the third from the rear
and although he cannot hear the sermon
he is consoled with the thought that tn
young ladies cant snicker at him.. j

ASbad Story.

"IIc came into the breakfast room one
morning, and in moment it was seen
that a cloud was on his brow. There
sat lady-l,ke wife, waiting for him the
table fairly groaned, not with plated sill
yer but the solid material. Tho cloth
was white as snow; the family were
seated around in pleasant expectancy {;
everything was smoking hot, and not an
article there but even pampered appe-
vorite dish was not there. Closer he
came to the table, and with the inquiry,
Did you not know that l wanted shad
for breakfast? he raised his foot, and
overturned the whole table on tho floor

A WOMAN's FRIENDSHIP. 1t is q
wonderful advantage to o man, in every
pursuit or avocation. to secure on adviser
III a sensible woman. In woman there
is at once subtle delicacy of tact and a
plain soundness Of judgment which are
rarely combined to an equal degree in
man. A woman, it really your friend,
will have q sensitive regard for your
character, honor and repute.. She will
seldom counsel you to shabby things, for
woman friend always desires to be
proud Of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend; she,
therefore, seldom counsels you to do an
imprudent thing. A mans best female
friend is q wife Of good sense and head
whom he loves and who loves him. But
supposing the mao to be without such Q
helpmeet, female friendship he mus
have, or his intellect is without q garden
there will be ON Enclosed gap even in thu
strongest fence. Better and safer, o.
course, is such friendship whero dispar
ity Of years or circumstances puts tn,
idea of love out of the question. Middl
life has rarely this advantage youth an'
old age have. We may have femal
friendship with those much youuee
and those much older than ourselves
Female friendship is to q man the bul
wark, sweetness and ornament Cf his ex
istcnce.

A Shocking Murder.

ST. LOUIS. Nov, II. A horrible murder
was committed near Usage Mission, Kan
sas, on the night of the 9th inst. John p.
Flanagan. the perpetrator, had recently
suffered pecuniary loss, and resolved to
dispatch himself and family. He admin
istered chloroform to his wife and two lit
tie girls aged ? months and years.
About o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Flanagan awoke from her stupor and
discovered her husband driving tenpenny
nails into the head of one of the children.
Flying to the rescue of her babies she
found them expiring. She succeeded in dis
arming her husband and gave the alarm
Flanagan was taken into custody. A
letter found tackled to the wall, addressed
to some relative, states that in consequent
of his mind being in such condition he
could not do anything, and had determin-
ed to kill himself and family, excepting
his son Clarence.
