he Gentle with Thy wife.

BY CARRIE WILLIS.
Bc,gcntlc for you little know
How many trials rise,
Although to thee they may be small
TO her Of giant size.
BE gentle! though perchancc that lip
May speak murmnring tone,
The hcnrt may beat with Kindness yet,
And JOY to be thine own.
BE gentle Weary hours of pain
"Tis woman's lot to bear;
Then yield her what support thou canst,
And all her SORROWS share.
BE gentle! for The noblest hearts
At times may have some grief,
And even in q pcttsh word
May seek to find relief
Be gentle for unkindncss now
May rouse an angry storm,
That all the after years Of life
In vain may strive TO calm.
BE gentle! none are pcrfcct-%.
Thou'rt dearcr far than life;
Then, husband. bear and still forbear--
Bc gentle 10 thy wife

SWEARING Tho most truthful and strait
forward article on this disgusting habit that
we have ever heard is the following, whose
authors name wo are not acquainted with /:
"It is no mark of gentleman to swear
The most worthless and vile, the refuse of
mankind, the drunkard and the prostitute
swear as we'll rs the best dressed and cducatcd
gentleman. No particular ondowments arc
requisite to give finish to the art of cursing
Tho basest and meancst Of mankind swear
with as much tact and skill os the most rein
cd ; and he that wishes to degrade himself to
the lowest level of pollution and shame,
Should learn TO be common swcarcr Any
man has talent enough to curse God, and i'm
precato perdition on fellow mon. Profane
swearing never did any man any good. No
man is the richer, or wiser, or happier for it.
1t helps no mans education or manners. 1t
is disgusting to the refined, abominablc to
tho good, degrading to the MUD, unproita
BILE, needless, and injurious to society. Wan.
tonly to prohne His name, to call His ven.
geance is perhaps of all offences the most
awful in the sight of God"

LOST RELICS OF THE PAsr-Among the
saddest losses that the country has had to
mourn for some time is tho destruction of old
colonial and revolutionary buildings by fire
at Alexandra, Va, yesterday. The country
Is just getting old enough 70 cherish warmly
the memories ana relies or It's young days,
and when it is known that among the houses
destroyed by this fire were the Masonic lodge
of which Washington was the Master, and the
old Colonial Court House, in which his pro.
vlncia' troops were quartered in 175 |, from The
door of which Braddockmarchcd to his defeat
in 1865, and in which cx.Prcsidcnt Washing
ton gave his last vote, in 1900, feeling of
genuine sorrow is likely to come over our
hearts. We could better have spared many
richer and grandcr cdfices. These relics are
the things that certify the truth of history,
and in this age of iconoclasm, when it is
argued that William Tell and Shakespeare arc
myths, there is no certainty that ere long
some irrcverent enemy of the past may not
propose to prove that there was no such per.
son Us George Washington. The old rcvou.
tionary flags in the Court House were saved,
however-the flag of Washington's body
guard, the fsg Of Paul Jones, and that of a
company of Alexandria Contincntals These
lessen tho misfortune in some degree. but it
is a greater loss than busy Yankceand of to-
day has time to brood over, this loss of the
grand old landmarks of the revolutionary
days.

TIIE STAR SlRIus.-Many things combine
to render this brilliant star an object of pro-
found interest. Who can gaze on its pure
siivcIy radiance, and reflect how many ages
1t has adorned the heavenly dome with it's
peerless lustre, and how many generations
OF mankind have rcjoiced in it-and among
them all the wise and the good and the great
of history without awe, and admiration!
In ancient Egypt, it was an object of idol
red color but is now lustiroouSS tio 8 white and
the cause of this change of color, as well
as the nature and period of the reyo-
luton it denotes in the star itself, are wholly
unknown It's distance from our earth is not
less than 100000 times our distance from
the sun; and its light must travel twenty.
two years to reach us Another circumstance
OF deep interest connected with it is, that it
has changed its position, during the life of
the human family, by about the apparent
diameter of tho moon and the astronomers,
detecting some Irregularities in it's motion,
have been convinced that it had comp ,nion
star-which they thought to be non luminous,
since their telescopes could not detect it
But Mr. Clark, with his new and powerful
achromatic telescope, has found this neighbor
of Sirious, hitherto invisible, and verified tho
conclusions to which astronomers had been
led by reasoning on the facts they had ascer-
tained.

lis situation. 1t is stated that the in
habitants of Boslick, near Balhngar,
Roseommon, were terrified at the sudden
movement Of the heath bog of CoFiisk
The bog is a high one, of many hundred
acres, and it made such rapid progress
that at dusk fifty acres Of the low land
had been covered up, destroying crops OF
potatoes, turnips, etc. The alarm OF
the inhabitants is extrene HRgy OF
them are leaving their homes for more
secure places. The bog continues its
motion, and fears are entertained that
much damage will be done. One poor
man has lost his entire potato crop by
the occurrence.

New York Extravaganza.

A New York correspondent of the
Rochester Chronicle writes T" -
The style of life generally in vogue is
beginning to startle sensible people, who
are compelled to inquire What are we
coming tor It is the fashion for every
body to live beyond his means, and it is
to this false state Of society that so
much crime is due. Our bank cashiers
and other men in monied positions are
Led into defalcation in order to Sustain
their position, and it is beyond doubt
- at a large part of the fashionable
~ 'd is on the verge of bankruptcy.

finally he winds W in bankruptcy.
There have been no great fortunes
made in this way since the new style OF
life was begun. Old for tunes have IN
creased, but no new ones have been
made. Our shoddy aristocracy is now
returned to rags, and the ePoem0ranl Al
wealth of lucky oil blowers is now a
nroyerb. All the great capitalists of tais
city laid the foundation OF their success
in the old-fashioned state of things. IT

astonishing to see how little money is
cleared in New York, even by the I'M

remark of business men is: i am SICK
of trade-there' no money in my line oi
