AN IDYL OF THE PERIOB.z1R TWO
PARTS.


'tCome right in! How are you, Fred?
Find a chair, and have light
tsWell, old boy, recovered vet -
From the Mather's ias,Id Tos<ezIf 20
s1Didn't dance. they and Light Dra
aDidn,t you?
Awful bore. but -
Joliy little y Eu r Mi IN sSyes neEsta
Said she didn't care to dance,
ID rather have quiet chat
Then she gave me such a glance;
So, when you had cleared the room
And captured all the chairs,
Having nowhere else, we two
Took possession of the stairs;
1 was on the lower step,
Mollie on the next above;
Gave me her bouquet to hold
Asked me to draw off her glove.
Then. of course, ] squeezed her hand,
Talked about my wasted life,
Said my sole salvation must
Be true and gentle wife.
Then, you know, used my eyes;
She believed me every word;
Almost said she loved me-Jove!
Such voice 1 never heard
Gave me some symbolic flower,
Had a meaning, oh! so sweet;
Don't know what it is, Pm sure
Must have dropped it in the street.
How spoonied! and she-ba! ha!
Well, know it wasn't right,
But she did believe me so,
That kissed her-pass light.
II.
s'MoIlie Meade, well declared!
Who'd have thought of seeing you,
After what occurred last night,
Out here on the avenue.
Oh! you awful, awful girl;
There-don't blush-I saw it ALL"
''Saw all what?' ''Ahem-last night
At the Mather's, in the hail."
"Oh you horrid-where were you?
Wasn't he an awful goose?
Most men must be caught, but he
Ran his neck right in the moose.
L was almost dead to dance
I'd have done it If could
But old Gray said l must stop,
And / promised ma would;
So L looked up, sweet, and said
That I'd rather talk with him.
Hope he didn't see my face
Luckily the lights were dim;
Then how he squeezed my hand
And he looked up in my face
With his lovely. great big eyes;
Really, its dreadful case.
He was all in earnest, too;
But thought I'd have to laugh,
When he kissed flower gave,
Looking-oh! like such calf
/ suppose he has it now,
In a wine glass, on his shelves.
It's mystery to me
Why men will deceive themselves.
Saw him kiss me! Oh, you wretch
Well, he begged so hard for one,
And l thought ther'd no one know,
So I-let him-just for fun.
I know it WASH really right
10 trifle with his feelings, dear,
But men are such eonceited things,
They need lesson once year."

The public was repeatedly informed
several weeks ago that DR.. Livingstone,
the African explorer, whose loss has
been so often announced, was safe, and
had arrived at Mozambique, and was
remaining there waiting the arrival of
q vessel bound for England. The ST.
lence with regard to him since that
time has renewed the apprehensions
with regard to his safety, and the sus-
picion that the story, like some former
ones, was a wicked fabrication.

THE HUSBANDS CosrPLAssr.
BY JOSEPH TAYLOR.

A few short months ago, my dear,
Before we two were one,
You vowed TO do so many things,
That now are never done.
You said, when home from daily toll
came with aching brow,
Your hand alone should soothe iss pain
1t Reoer soothes it aos1.
You said you would no burden be-
And dress as means as allow;
But what with silks and rings and things
You do not do so Eotc.
You used to sacrifice yourself,
And to my wishes bow,
Allowing me to have my way
You ReUer do so NOR.
And used TO sing and play and smile,
And gush l can't tell how;
You won my heart, grieye &c ssy--
You ReUer cash so R0to.

HE COULDN'T Tell. A LIE.-Alf. Bur-
nett, in one of his letters to ''The Peo-
pie" of indianapolis, relates the follow
ing anecdote:
By the by, a good story is told of
Ben. Butler and his notorious honesty.
A short time since, Ben. Butler and
Wendell Phillips had business with the
President, and arm-in-arm proceeded
to call upon him. The President was
busy, and sent word that he would see
them presently. Phillips and Butler
strolIed on into the conservatory, in the
rear of the White House, thence into
the garden. Butler and Phillips were
engaged in an animated conversation
upon some topic, when Butler became
excited.
A large Ratchet. belonging to the
gardner, was beside tree; Butler cas-
ually picked it up and while talking,
he made several deep gashes with it
into some of Gen. Grants favorite
trees. Just at this juncture the Presi-
dent appearing, Butler secreted it I'M
der his coat-tails.
After the compliments of the day,
the President spied for the first time
his mutilated tree, and with tones of We
hemence inquired who had been eut-
ting and gashing that tree? After a
few moments pause, Butler stepped
brayely up to the President and took
him by the hand saying, Mr.. President,
cannot tell lie; cannot tell a lie !;
Wendell Phillips did 1T!

HUSBANDS GOOD-BYES.

Some husbands never leave home in
the morning without kissing their
wives and bidding them "GoOd-bye,
dear" in the tones of unwearied love !;
and, whether it be policy or fact, it has
all the effect of fact, and those homes are
generally pleasant ones, provided al
ways that the wives are appreciative
and welcome the discipline in kindly
spirit. We know an old gentleman
who lived with his wife over so years,
and never left home without the kiss
aud goodbye, dear" Some husbands
shake hands with their wives, and hur-
ry off as fast as possible, as though the
effort were something that they were
anxious to forget, holding their heads
down and darling round the first corner.
Some husbands will leave home without
saying anything at all but thinking
good deal, as evinced by their turning
round at the last point of observation
and waving an adieu at the pleasant
face or faces at the window. Some hus-
bands never say a word-rising from
the breakfast-table with the lofty in
difference of a lord, and going out with
heartless disregard for those left be-
hind. 1t is q fortunate thing for their
wives that they can find sympathy else
where. Some husbands never leave
home without some unkind word or
look, apparently thinking that such
course will keep things straight in their
absence. Then, on returning, some hus-
bands come home pleasant and happy,
unsecured by the world some sulky and
surly with its disappointments. Some
husbands bring home a newspaper or
book, and bury themselves for the eve
ming in its contents. Some husbands are
called away every evening by business
or social engagements; some doze in
speechless stupidity on a sofa until bed
time. Some husbands are curious to
learn of their wives what has transpired
through the day; others are attracted
by nothing short of child's tumbling
down stairs or the house taking fire.

The vote in North Carolina on the
question of a Convention was the heavI.

foot up nearly 100000. The majority
against the Convention will be about
5000 Eighty-th,ee counties give a
majority ofl0,231, but the remaining
seven will probably reduce this one
half. One object in calling the Conven'
ton was to effect some arrangement
with the holders of the enormous State
debt which the Radical rulers have con-
tracted, and which the revenues Of the
State are inadequate to meet. But the
Convention is defeated, the people OF
North Carolina being deferred from
voting for it 10y the threat OF Federal
disfavor, and they must bear the bur
dens imposed by usurpers until they
can be removed in some other manner.
