rienee Of the night before, who organized i'll
force and succeeded in capturing four Of the
scoundrels, and diligent search is being made
for the fifth, who was still at large. The cir
cumstances stated above were told US by re-
sponsible gentleman, who obtained his informa-
ton from a reliable source, and that Mrs.
Susong had received letters from her husband,
who was still in the vicinity where he so nearly
met his death The first letter stated the oc-
currences of the fearful night and the second
his resolution to. aid all in his power to bring
the villains to justice and punishment for their
crimes.-KnorriHe Chronicle, January IA.
"The light, graceful, geranium style of
beauty" is what the New York Suncalls thepe-
culiarity-of American bellies.
= Let woman once think you unconquer
able, and, unless she is unlike all other women,
she will still want to conquer you.
A little ten-year old Miss told her mother
tie other day, that she was never going to
marry, but meant to be a widow, because wild
ovs dress in such nice black and always looked
so happy.
An old lady being asked what she thought
of the doctrine of total depravity," very
gravely replied, that she thought it a VERY
good doctrine, if people would only live up to
It."
= Tie Rochester Union declares that the
Radical party is going to the dogs. If this is
true, 4 lisa melancholy thing for the dogs.
= There is poor fellow.who says Sits work
ing between meals that's killing him."
asked by pious friend who his physician was
He replied "Dr. Jones brought me through"
"Nn, no." said his friend, "God brought you
out of your illness, not the doctor" "Wcll,
may be he did, but am certain the doctor will
charge me for it,"
= A. German clothicr in Belfast, Maine, re-
Gently sold man pair of boots. A few days
afterwards the man returned with them, and
said that he went out into the barnyard, to
work, where twas little wet, and the soles
came off. "Mine Got. mine friend, you didn't
ought to walk round in dem. Day ish cavalry
boots, made to ride mitr'
"A Rhode Island editor, who has some
reasons for claiming scientific knowledge, tells
the ladies chat if they want light and whole
some compilations, faces devoid of wrinkles and
crows feet, and bodies as fat as plump par
tridges they must eat oatmeal-make it prin-
cipal feature of their daily diet.
= When horse refuses to eat he should not
be made to do any service that day, for it may
be known that he is tired out or sick. 1t is
barbarous to compel a horse to perform labor
when in such a condition that he refuses grain,
yet it is often done; and by men, too, who think
they are mercitu.
= An Atlanta paper deplores the absence of
bright eyes, graceful forms and elaborate toilets
from the ladies' gallery of the State Senate,
which disoyal cotemporary is uncivil enough
to copy with the heading, "Where's Dinah 2"
- There is as much merit in catering to the
humorous side of our nature as to the sober
and sedate. Men and women were made to
laugh and to indulge in pleasantries just as
much as 70 pray and fast. Because face is un-
commonly long instead of wide, it does not
follow that its possessor is first-class saint
We would as soon trust countenance got up
on the broad as the long gauge.
= The testimony of daughter of the par
ties to a recent Indiana divorcc-sut seems con-
elusive" Father got mad because mother
starched his stockings. Mother picked up the
stockings and hit father on the head with them,
and it sounded as though they were sticks of
wood Father then stuffed hot wheat-cake
down mothers throat, and then mother set the
dog on father, and twisted the dogs tail to
make him bite harder"
- The New York Tribune in speaking of
the receptions on the 1st of January, draws a
terrible picture, thus: "To many women the
word drunkenness conveys nothing but the idea
of young men little confused in metaphor n
little uncertain as to the position of the door,
a little vague rs to smile, little uncertain as
to the axis Of vision-something to laugh at
and pardon-somcthing that gives them sort
of pleasant feeling Of superiority to masculine
folly. But if they could see that it meant yes
terday, in every county in this land, the hun
ger and naketlness of children, the shrek of
the trampled wife, the red knife of murder, the
infamy of namclcss crime, and once every week
or so the ghastly horrors of parricde and child
Staying, that curlle the blood of the decent
world, they would surely shrink from the awful
responsibility of offering their friends what is
at best useless and burdensome, and at worst
perditien."
- Let the true nature and object of marriage
be better understood, in accordance with the
natural laws-in the physical qualifications and
adaptations of parties entering tin IL proper
knowledge of tho duties and responsibilities
growing out of this relation. Let the qualities
most sought for in marriage, be changed; in
stead Of the slender form, the small waist, the
accomplishments of fashionable education,
the choicest decorations of the person-lc!
well-devcoped body, good health, a sound con-
stitution, q practical knowledge of domestic
duties, be the qualities most preferred-the in
dispensable prerequisites. We should then
hpve an increase of healthy offspring, less dis
content in the family, far less number of d
vorces, and more perfect union between the
husband and the wife, in all their interests,
comforts and happiness in life
