her for the consideration shown to the clergy,
turned about and retraced my steps to the
hotel, not without slight twinges Of conscience
for allowing the mistake to pass, and taking
the advantage Of it.
My first duty next morning was to seek
some knight of the razor. had noticed a
pleasant little shop at no great distance from
the hotel, in my walk the previous day.
Thinking that I should do no better by look
ing further, repaired to that. There was
in attendance boy about twelve years of
ego, who statca that his father, the proprie-
tn - 111SAsPs hid g1u6 ii d nsighboring
city, and would not return before noon.
Without any hesitation asked for the loan
of a razor, and proceeded to operate on my
self. While thus occupied the customers
began to present themselves, and expressed
great dissatisfaction on learning how matters
stood. Now, although am proud man, |
am not, thank God, cursed with that species
of vanity which prevents mans doing GER
tain kinds of honest labor, simply because
they are not gentee. Here was an oppor-
tunty afforded me to at least earn the price
of my breakfast. | took advantage of it.

business for couple of hours; and if any of
the unfortunate individuals who came under
my hand had any doubt of my fitness for
the business, they certainly expressed none

think had done sufficient, and feeling rather
hungry, having had no breakfast, divided
the proceeds with the boy, and prepared to
return to my hotel. But | was not done yet
As was brushing my hat, young dand
fed specimen of humanity came in; resolved
that he should be the last, went to work
on him. When he came to pay me, was,
to say the least, somewhat surprised to see
him deliberately produce my own pocket
book-the one had lost. Standing on no
ceremony, snatched it from his hand, and
demanded, in no gentle tone, how it came
into his possession.
Without stopping to reply other than by a
volley of imprecations as The reached the
door, he tumbled rather than ran down the
stairs into the street. Waiting for neither
hat nor coat, followed, the pocket book in
my hand. We measured off considerable
ground in a short space of time. On, on.

an uproar there was. Suddenly there came
fash of light, sharp and vivid for an in
slant, then utter darkness A policeman,
mstaking me for the thief, had gently tapped
me upon the head, as their custom is, and
with the usual result; the thief escaped, and
|, the victim, was apprehended. My ap-
pearance told heavily against me, but my
story being fully corroborated by the boy at
the barber shop, was released.
Upon examining the wallet | found my
own money intact, and about one hundred
and thirty dollars beside. This is all the
story.

I, as he concluded.

MAN AND WFE-Ho,o to lire Happy
Thomas Jefferson wrote the following excel
lent advice. There is much human nature
and good sense in it:
"IIarmony in the married state is the very
first object to be aimed Of. Nothing can pre-
serve affection uninterrupted but firm reso-
luton never to differ i'll will, and a determi-
nation in each other to consider the love OF
the other as of more value than any object
whatever on which the wish had been fixed.
How light, in fact, is the sacrifice Of any
other wish when weighed against the aflec
tions Of one with whom we are to pass Our
whole life. And though opposite in single
instance will hardly of itself produce alicna-
ton, yet every one has pouch into which
all these little oppositions are put; while that
is filling, the alienation is insensibly going
on, and when filled it is complete. 1t would
puzzle either to say why, because no one
difference of opinion has been marked enough
to produce a serious effect by Itself. Bat he
finds his affection wearied out by a constant
stream of little checks and obstacles. Other
sources OF discomfort, very common indeed,
are the little cross-purposts OF husband and
wife, in common conversation, disposition
in either to crticise and question whatever
the other says, desire always to demon
strate and make him feel himself in the
wrong, especially in sympathy. Much bet
ter, therefore, if our companion views thing
in light different from what we do, to leave
him in quiet possession of his view. What
is the use of rectifyinS them if the thing be
unimportant; and if important, let it pass for
the present, and wait for softer moment,
and more conciliatory occasion of revising the
subject together. 1t is wonderful how many
persons are rendered unhappy by inattention
to these little rules of prudence.

New Orleans and Texas Railroad.

| When the New Orleans and Texas
Railroad was finished to Donald
sonville, the company applied to the
Auditor to register the bonds in IA
vor of the road for $3.50, O00. On
his refusal to do so, a mandamus
vas sued out before Judge Dibble,
and decided i'll favor of the com
pany. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court sitting at Monroe,
and last Friday this Court affirmed
the decision of Judge DibbIe. 1t
was feared that if the Supreme Court
had reversed the decision of Judge
Dibble, the building of the road
would have been suspended or en-
tirely abandoned. But as matters
now stand, we feel assured from the
tone of the city papers, that the
road will be built without delay,
which Will add more to the value of
property in this part of the State
than the whole amount of assistance
given the road by the State govern
ment.

We have nothing to expect from

They have addressed us and sent us
their warmest congratulations on the

from taking any step in support of
their messages. We can hope for no
help from any quarter. King Victor
