Familiarity does unquestlonably beget

Familiarity does unquestionably beget
contempt, If not checked and regulated by
the formalities of polite society. TrifIing
as it seems in itself, mere negligence of
dress is unquestionably a frequent cause of
domestic unhappiness. When the richly
attired bride degenerates into the slattern-
~ wife, as too often happens, she loses her
hold upon her husbands admiration, and
consequently his affection. A fondness
which has been awakened by outward
charms is not always proof against an ug-
illness engendered by negligence and dis
regard to appearances. The man, too, who
at home allows himself to sink into SLOW
en-, is in no less imminent danger of losing
the regard of fastidious woman, whose
innate delicacy of refinement is sure to be
shocked ut any want of propriety in man
ner or nicely of dress.-HarperS' Bd=dr.

he said to friend: "Ah, if you knew the
cost of these goods, you would not believe
for moment that practised polygamy as
an earthly pleasure. No. sir it Is with
me stern duty"

grounds for depot. and pay them one
hundred Thousand dollars in cash; fifty
thousand to be paid when tho cars are

his proposition. and it remains for them
to say how it shall be answered For

PEELED 10 choose between a Democratic
romincc and Radical. We would
suggest that they go a little easy. re-

whoever he may bc.-and that they do
not in advance furnish any clubs 10 Rad.

against the party next year. Success
The Democracy must attain next year. or
the people will be doomed to much s,if.

A THRrLLISo INCIDENT The world Of
fict,on hardly contains 4 more thrilling
chxpter than an incident which marked
the life OF the late Rev Mr. Lee. Presby-
terian minister Of the village Of Water.
ford, ". Y.
Mr.. Lee was sitting In his study about
midnight. preparing q discourse to de
liver to nis congregation, when he heard
4 noise behind him and became conscious
that some one was in the room. If.
Lee exclaimed:
What Is the matter7" aud turning
around in his chair, he beheld the grim
face of burglar, who was poi4,ins .
pistol at his breast. Tho rufilau had IN
t red the house by . window, supposug
the occupants we're locked ia slumber
"Gve me your watch and money :
said he, "and make no noise or fire ;"
You may put down your pistol. for !
shall make no resistance and you are at
liberty to take all the valuables l pos.
sess, was Mr. Lees calm reply.
The burglar withdrew his menacing
pistol, and Mr.. Lee said:
| Wut VoHNucs ou w thS P'~sS 49,
my most precious treasures are placed.
He opened the door aud pointed to the
cot where his two children lay slumber.
ing in the sweet sleep Of innocence and
peace.
These are my choicest jewels. VIII
you take them 7"
He proceeded to say that as minister
Of the gospel he had but few earthly pos.
sessions. and that his means were devo'
ted to but one ohject-the education ol
his motherless children.
The burglar was deeply and v'sibly AZ
fecteJ by these remarks. Tears filed hi'
eyes, and he expressed the utmost sor
row at the act which he was about tc
commit,
After 4 few remarks by Mr., Lee, thu
woHld be criminal consented to kneel anf
join in prayer; and there in that lonely
house, amid the silence Of midnight, thu
offender poured forth his remorse ant
psnitcnce, while the representative Of re
iigion, Of peace aud good will, told hin
to "go and sin no more.
Such scene has but few parallels il
| fact or fiction.
