Hurt his Feelings.

THERE are few married men who
Il are not averse to seeing their wives
kissed, but an exchange relates the par
ticulars of a case in which a newly wed
ded Benedict felt himself insulted be-
cause his wife wasn't kissed. The bride
groom in question was a stalwart young
rustic, who was known as formidable
operator in free fight" His bride
was n blooming aud beautiful country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and the
twain were at party where a number Of
young folks of both sexes were enjoying
themselves in the good old-fashioned
style. Every girl in the room was called
out and kissed, except r., the beautiful
young bride aforesaid, and although there
was not youngster who was not dying
to taste her lips, they were restrained by
the presence Of her herculanean husband,
who stood regarding the party with a
look of sullen dissatisfaction. They mis-
took the cause, for suddenly he expressed
himself
Rolling up his sleeves he stepped into
the middle of the room, and in tone of
voice that secured marked attention,
said:
",Gentlemen, have been noticing how
things have been working here for some
time, and | amt satisfied | don't want
to raise fuss, but"
What's the matter, John - inquired
half dozen voices. " Have We done
anything to hurt your feelings?
+" Yes, you have all Of you have hurt
my feelings, and have just got this to
say about it Here's every girl in the
room has been kissed near dozen times
apiece, and there's my wife, who ! CON
slider as likely as any of 'em, has not had
a single one to night; and just tell you
now, if she don't get as many kisses the
rest of the night as any girl in the room,
the man who Sights her has got me to
fight that's all. Now so on with your
plays"

Guard Against Vulgarity.
ANONYMOUS.

We especially commend the following ex-
tract to the thoughtful study of heyoung,
Nothing is so disgusting and repugnant
to the feelings of the noble and good as
to hear the young, or even the old, use
profano, low Or vulgar language. The
young Of our towns are particularly gull
ty of profanity. In our day it seems the
" boy" does not feel himself "man" un-
less he can excel in this great sin. I'VE
would guard the young against the use
of every word that is not strictly proper.
Use no profane expression-allude to no
sentence that will put to blush the most
sensitive. You know not the tendency
of habitually using indecent and profane
language. 1t may never be obliterated
from your heart, When you grow up
you will find at your tongues end some
expression which you would not use for
any money, which was used when quite
young, BY using care you will save
yourself great deal Of modification and
sorrow. Good men have been taken sick
and become delirious. In these moments
they used the most vile and indecent Ian
guage imaginable. When informed of it
after restoration to health, they had no
idea of the pain they caused they had
learned and repeated the expressions in
childhood, and though years had passed
since they had been indelibly stamped
upon the heart Think of this, you who
are tempted to use improper language,
and never disgrace yourselves"

Secret Happiness.

An Italian bishop, who had struggled
through many difficulties without repin-
ing, and been much opposed without
manlesting impatience, being asked by
friend to communicate the secret of his
being always so happy, replied, at con-
sists in single thing, and that is, making
a right use of my eyes" His friend, in
surprise, begged him to explain his mean
ing. 3" Most willingly" replied the bish-
op. In whatsoever state | am, | first
of all look up to heaven, and remember
that my great business is to get there.
| than lock down upon earth, and call to
my mind how small space shall soon
Gil in it. | then look look abroad in the
world, and see what multitudes are, in
all respects, less happy than myself.
And thus | learn where true happiness is
placed, where all my cares must end, and
how little reason | ever had to murmer
or to be otherwise than thankful And
to live in this spirit is to be always hap
py."

For The Bloomfield Times
There's Not a Cloud Between me and
my Saviour,

During one of the battles in our late war, a
soldier lay dying, and when asked if he was
prepared, he said, "There's not cloud be-
tween me and my Saviour.1
"There's not cloud,'' Oh precious words
to fall from dying lips!
4" Between the saviour's face and mine, there
resteth no eclipse"
"Thcre's not a cloud % Then there's no fear,
no shirling, trembling feet;
No wavering faith, no lingering doubt, but
trust and love complete.
e'No cloud ~ Thank God no shadow steals
athwart the jasper walls;
No mist obscures the pearly gatcs-calm sun
light on them falls;
No dimning veil, with folds of gloom, shuts
from thy longing sight
The waving palms, the golden streets, the crys-
tai waters bright.
No darkness hides the Shepherds hand that
leads thee safe along;
No sullcn roar breaks on thy ear, to drown the
angelic song;
No whelmng waves dash DER thy bark; serene
ly doth it glide
Adown the stream, to anchor safe, beyond the
swelling tide.
"There's not a cloud' Oh! yc who mourn
for that brave soldier slain;
LoAwords like these, bring healing balm to
soothe your bitter pain;
Infinite love now shelters him all mortal strife
is o'er;
Sickness or sorrow, grief or voc can trouble
him no more.
No fiery shot, no rendius shell, no sickening
clash of steel;
No heavy roll of beating drum, nor lannon's
awful peal
No stern array in battles front, of fierce aud
vengeful foes
Can break the holy peace that marks the sol
dicr's last repose.
FThere's not cloud!' Oh! blessed words
when all of life is given;
When earth Iecedes, and nearer draw the bliss
full shores OF heaven:
| Then may these words in triumph tones fal
from my dying lips:
" Between the Saviour's face aud mine, there
resteth no eclipse"

"Taylor," said 1, "I wish you would
allow me to keep copy of this dispatch.
1t may affect my interests more than you
think for"
"Woll, if you think it does, go ahead"
said Taylor. "Only don't get me into
hot water-that's all"
"Pll take care Of that, Taylor" said
I going to desk and sitting down before
it. "Now, leave me alone few minutes
and I'll see if can solve this mystery"
Although am not naturally Of pry-
ing or inquisitive disposition, and detest
as much as any one the spirit that actu-
ates person to pry into the affairs Of
others and become party to that which
does not concern him, yet in the present
case | felt justified in the course l was
pursuing, and did not hesitate to do all
in my power to decipher the mysterious
figures and ascertain, if possible, what
was engaging the attention Of my clerk
to such an extent that he required the
medium Of secret alphabet through
which to communicate with his friends.
By the aid Of the piece of paper have
heretofore mentioned | soon obtained the
following translation:
"To Vim. jackson, 110 Coppco st. Three
thousand dollars in the safe and Parker gone
till tomorrow. Come down with the tools i'm

GAMNETT."
could deduce from this dispatch only
one conclusion, which was, that my clerk
was taking advantage, of the confidence |
rcposod in him, and of my absence from
home, to enter into conspiracy with
some william to burglari2e my safe, and
carry off the three thousand dollars con-
tanned therein.
In a perfect thrill of excitement I badc
my friend hasty good-by, and telling
him would more fully explain at some
other time, ran back to the depot and
took the night train for home.
As we whirled onward in the darkness,
| resolved the whole matter over in my
mind, and came to a decision as to what
plan | should pUsue-which will be bet
ter Illustrated by the actual facts as they
occurred.
Going directly to the police office, !
communicated my discovery to the chief
who set a trap by means of which the
burglars were caught in their nefarious
schemes.
The depot was watched, and a stranger
carrying in his hand large satchel, was
observed to get off from the halfpast elev
en- o'clock train from the city, who, af
ter lettering about in by-ways and alley
for nearly two hours, finally took his way
to my Office, on the door of which hC
gave peculiar knock and was at once
admitted by Gamnett.
The officers waited on the outside
sufficient length of time for them to ge
fairly at work, and then, breaking int
the store, found one man engaged in blow
ing powder into the key-hole of the safe
and the other-my clerk-looking owe
