The Husbands Complaint.
BY JOSEPH TAYLOR.

BY JOSEPH TAYLOR.
A few months ago, my dear,
Before We two were one,
You vowed to do so many things,
That now are never done.
You said, when home from daily toll
came with aching brow,
Your hand alone should soothe its pair
IL nerer soothes IL nou.
You said you would no burden be,
And dress as means allow;
But what with silks and rings and
things
You do not do so noic.
You used TO sacrifice yourself,
And to my wishes bow,
Allowing me to have my way
Yos Meier do so noc.
You used to sing and play and smile.
And gush / can't tell how;
You won my heart, / g;ieve to say
You neuer gush so aolc.
] mind the moonlight nights when /
Was moved 10 hear you vow
A joy 'twould be to die for me-
Why doa't you DO so f,o,ct

a Mining Renaissance.


A mountain trail-a narrow,
tortuous, difficult path. Two mi
ners, with their estates tied up in
ropes and slung across their back,
scrambling YEARLY up it. just at
the steepest part, the foremost
halted short, turned around. de-
liberately unslung his pack, sat
down upon it, and sighed. AS he
looked across the green expanse
of the valley below, to the brown
majesty of the opposite mountain
range, and over into the fathomless
ether beyond, a look not of earth
crept into his eyes, informing his
face with something of the glory
of the TRANSPORTATION. His com
panion, rough and hard though
he was, observed the change and
appeared to have some vague and
imperfect idea of its nature, for
without word, ne grounded his
own luggage and sat himself
thoughtfully upon a rock. For
some time the two maintained a
silence which was intensified rath-
er than broken by the just distin-
guishable murmur of the river a
thousand feet below. The wind
whispered its eternal secret to the
pines, and the sun, flaming grand,
> ly above, flung wave after wave of
light against the hills, which sent
back faint pulsations of heat, as it
were an echo.

A Young Husbands Dilemma.


John had just married and brought
home bride,
A graceful and buxom and beanti-
fnl miss:
And when at the altar he stood by her
side,
4 seemed the last drop in bis full cup
of.bifss.
Indeed she was one of the fsirest of
creatures;
Her lips were like rubies, her teeth
white as pearls;
The rose might have borrowed its
hues from her features;
The sunlight was moeked by her
bright golden curls.
With feasting and music the swift
moments few,
Till midnight approached, and the
bride and her groom,
After bidding their friends ind COM
panions edieu,
Retired-together Of course--to their
room.
There her beautiful wreath aud a Cos
samer veil
On top Of the bureau she carefully
laid,
Then placing her dress, with its long
silken trail,
On the back of chair by the side
of the bed,
And one by one-but / can't tell the
name
Of the various garments embroider-
ed and white;
Nor the feeling that over the young
husband came
As he sat and observed her disrobe
for the night.
But many brilliant illusion / ween,
The possession of such position
dispels
Tos man who has heard but never yet
That wonderful process, the peeling
of bellies
So John felt, on seeing those beautiful
curls
Those glorious masses of bright gol,
den hair;
And the teeth he admired-they were
whittier than pearls
All laid in box that she placed OIL
a chair.
Meantime in that box something more
caught his sight.
To show how tie artist Dame Natur,
can mock;
A full and judiciously chosen suppl,
VI cosmetics ad lib. rouge, ename
and chalk.
From her cheeks came her plunpers
which, lest she should lose 'em.
She placed in the toilet box too, will
the rest;
Then swiftly detached tbs full, palpi
tant bosom
Her lover so fondly, SO blindly, ha,
pressed.
Then she placed on the chair the hug
cushions she were,
When the husband was still NOR,
than ever non-plussed.
10 see what he never had witnessed be
a fair roman's hustle abreast of he
bust,
Then touching spring that was hid
den somewhere,
Her lower limbs parted precisely il
halves
And she laid on the ALTAR mean OF
the chair
Her last sacrifice, pair of fat calves
Her dissection completed, she plunget
under cover.
Like lath that might into a riyule
drop;
Then tenderly asked to her motionles
lover,
"My darling, how long do you meal
to sit up!"
my dear. I'm quite undecided" h
said,
What course in the case would b
proper and fair
To follow the fraction that got into bed
Or stay with the part that is piled ii
the chair"

The FIRST OF THE CREDIT
STSTEM.-The first occasion on
which we hear of an organized
system of credit, is when Joseph
mortgaged the cattle, lands, and
even the persons Of all the Egyp
tan people, in ord II to pay for the
corn he supplied them from the
State granaries. The end of sew
Ell years. famine found the Egyp-
tians not only paupers, but bonds
men, sowing Pharaoh's corn on
Pharaoh's land, and compelled to
pay for the privilege of doing it
twenty per cent. of the crop to
Fharaoh's treasury forever, with
out equity or redemption. The
Egyptians had no previous expe
rience of the Jews. Excepting
Abraham, a quiet, inoffensive old
patriarch, who came to Egypt be-
cause he was hungry-and he got
Pharaoh into trouble-they had
never seen a Jew before.
1t is, therefore, highly probable
that a remembrance of Joseph's
fiscal policy whilst chancellor OF
their exchecquer, contributed in
no small degree to the severity
with which they afterwards ground
down and oppressed the children
of Israel. But the fact especially
noticeable about the introduction
credit is this-bankruptcy and
credit came I'm together; Joseph
left Egypt nation of bankrupts.
And ever since that time, bound
together by an indissoluble bond

Bankruptcy and Credit, have gone
on thriving together, and will pa

Synopsis for the Past Twenty.FOur
Hours.

WASHINGTON, September q, PM
The area of the high barometer which
was Wednesday afternoon over Wiscon
siu and Lake Superior has moved south
east and east into Pennsylvania and
New York. The low pressure in
Georgia is probably now east Of Florida.
North and northwesterly winds have
prevailed in the Middle and Eastern
States, diminishing in strength during the
day. Northerly winds in the Gulf
States, northeast winds with cloudy
weather on the immediate South Allan
tic coast and brisk southeast winds with
a falling barometer now prevail west OF
Michigan and Indiana Clear weather
is everywhere reported, except on the
South Atlantic coast.
Pr0JaJMteS.-An area Of very low
barometer will probably exist north of
Nebraska, after having apparently
passed over Oregon, on Wednesday
morning. A falling barometer with
increasing winds from the southeast
and southwest are probable for Friday
from Lakes Huron and Supe-
rior to the Missouri river, easterl v winds
for the lower lakes and pleasant weather
in the Atlantic and Gulf States.

formed as to the progress Of the city
improvements, and also as to the rate at
which the government expenses are in
creasing. After the adoption OF a
resolution providing for the appointment
Of counsel by the committee, the COM
mittee adjourned.
The committee Of Seventy also held
a meeting to-day, but the result of their
deliberations has not yet been made
public.
John Wall, who is charged with hav-
ing killed Pat Cahill with a pitchfork at
the Empire stable, on Thirtv-eighth
street, on the 22d OF July, last night
was brought before Judge Barnard on
a writ of hajeaS corpus, TO have him re-
leased on bail. The Assistant District
Attorney having informed the court
that an indictment had been found
against Wall for murder, the writ was
dismissed and Wall remanded to the
Tombs.
This afternoon a number of the
vouchers stolen from the Comptroller
office were found, half consumed, On the
roof Of the new Court House. It's sup
posed that bonfire had been made of
the stolen vouchers, and that the pieces
were the remains of thick packages, the
interior OF which the fire had never
reached.

BOYS, Do You Hear Thai:

A New Orleans paper tells Of a prin'
ter who, when his fellow workmen
went out TO drink, during tie working
hours, put in the bank the exact
amount which he would have spent if
he had gone out to drink He kept to
his resolution for five years. lie then
examined his bank accounts and found
that he had on deposit S52l76. In the
five years he had not lost a day from
i'll health. Three out of five OF his tel
low-workmen had in the. meantime
become druukards, were worthless as
workmen, and were discharged. The
water drinker then bought out the
printing office, enlarged the business,
and in twenty years from the time he
began to put by his money was worth
100000. This is a good leson.
