Starting I'm Married Life.

WILL tell you story of my own ex-
perience in starting in the world. When
/ was very young and very poor, 1 mar
ried a very poor young man; he worked
out by the day, or by the month, on the
farms, and in order that the stormy days
should not consume the incomes OF the
fair ones, something must be done. What
should it be? He had no trade for indoor
labor, except making shingles. Then he
had no shop, and it would cost SO mach
to buy lumber and build one. Hereto
fore he had spent TIE stormy days like
hundreds of young men in the country,
lounging about public places in the vii
lage, or at some neighbor's. He had
formed the habit, and liked it right well.
Now" said 1, "James, if you ever get
ANYTHING ahead, the winter must not con-
sumo what the summer yields.
''True," said he, ''but what can l do?"
Ihesitated a moment, looked at the
neatly secured floor of our little log
cabin, and snow-white recess and window
curtains, which, by the way, were pieced
out from worn-out garments.
'Get neighbor Wilson to bring you
some timber, get it sawed, and make the
shingles for half"
"Where," said he, ''here in the house:"
eyes, here in the house" said l.
Year after year passed. In our kitchen
barrels were hooped, chairs were bottom
ed, barley forks were made and sold, and
l used to pack the shingles. And what
| of it if l did help him saw the small tim
berp All this was done in bad weather,
and the children were growing up enjoy
| ing the liberty of making all the litter de-
sirable, whenever they were released
| from their hours of study. No one on
earth loves neatness more than /; but L
| learned, in time, to sacrifice neatness, In
measure, to prosperity and happiness.
Husband is nervous and irritable by
nature, and it will not do in all cases to
try to teach old dogs new tricks, so
have picked up after him, boots, hats and
clothing, washed and combed him almost
every Sunday morning, and, as to the
boys. they have made all sorts of farming
implements in the house when they could
not play out-of-doors; and whatever in
nocent amusement they wished to engage
in aside from mental improvement, they
| have done made many efforts to teach
the boys order about the house, but never
| fairly succeeded.
Now for the result of my course: We
have a farm of more than hundred
acres, well stocked; there are several
rooms in our house, but shingle are not
made in any of them. Sometimes when
husband brings in barrel to hoop for our
our own use, / tell him to be careful not
to scratch the paint off the floor. Husband
| is steady, hard working man, and when
night cones he is at home; the boys, or
rather young men, are honest, ambitious,
| ome-loving boys. No smoking cigars,
or taking a glass, or lounging about, with
them. Studious, noble, good and true
they are.-Cor. Rural Ne'o Yorker.

" GOING INTO BREECHES."
NO. A..

Joy to Philip he this day
Has his long coats cast away.
And (the childish season gomez
Put the manly breeches on
Officer on gay parade,
Red-cOat in his first cOckade,
Bridegroom in his wedding-trim,
Birthday beau surprising him,
Never did with conscious gait
Strut about in half the state
Or the pride yet free from SIM
of my little manikin;
Never was there pride or bliss
Half so rational Ms his.
Sashes, frocks, to those that need 'em,
Philips limbs have got their freedom.
He can run, or he can ride,
And do twenty things beside,
Which his petticoats forbade;
Is not he happy lads
Now he's under other banners
He must leave hi- former manners:
Bid adieu to female games,
And forget their very names;
Puss-in-corners. hide-and-seek,
Sports for girls and pussies weaki
Baste-the-bear he may now play at,
Leap-frog, football, sport away at;
Show his skill and strength at cricket;
Mark his distance, pitch his wicket;
Run about in winters snow
Till his cheeks and fingers glow;
Climb a tree or scale n wall
Without any fear to fall;
If he get hurt or bruise,
To complain he must refuse,
Though the anguish and the smart
Go unto his little heart;
He must have his courage ready,
Keep his voice and vissge steady;
Brace his eyeballs stiff as drum,
That tear may never come;
And his grief must only speak
From the color in his cheek.
This and more he must endure,
Hero he in miniature.
This and more must now be done,
Now the breeches are put on"

HABEAs CoRPUs.-Our readers will
remember. says the San Jose Mercary
of March nth. the Sykes-Burnet case,
Of Santa Clara, In which a young lady
supposed to have been married by
Judge W. F. Stewart, denied the fact
when confronted by the Judge and tho
witnesses, some days afterwards. The
affair at the time caused considerable
excitement, which has never entirely
quoted down. The girl, Miss Hattie
Burnett or Mrs. Sykes, we can't say
which, has. since the alleged marriage,
lived with her parents, and all efforts
Of Sykes to obtain a recognition Of his
rights, as he claims, have been u~navail-
ing. The matter was put into the
hands of detectives from San Francis
Co, at one time, tho result Of their la
borS has never been made public. Yes
to-day the girl was brought before
Judge Payne, on q writ Of habeas cor
pus, In order to discover whether or
not she was acting under restraint.
Her testimony and that Of her parents
was that she was free to act as she
liked, and upon this version she was
allowed to 90 n she came. Tho Ques-
ton rs to whether she was married or
not, was not brought up. We under
stand that the case will be taken to a
higher Court, and the mystery un-
ravelled.

The Palladium says:
The horses were properly fastened

WHILE one comedy Quakeress has
been agitating orthodoxy in Protestant
America, another has been creating n
stir In Catholic France. A Mrs. Alsop,
a Frenchwoman by birth, but English
by her long residence In that country,
was sent to France by the Society OF
Friends in London. to dispense 4,000,-
900 francs among the suffering people.
Incidental to this duty she undertook
the work of propagandism in q mild
form, and delivered a series Of address
ses explaining the doctrines Of her
sect. 1t would appear from the report
which she recently gave to the London
Quakers that she received a heartier
welcome and moro considerable and
graceful treatment from the Catholics,
both lay and ~ecclesiastic, than were
accorded to Miss Smiley by OUT East
ern Protestants. The priests every
where visited and assisted her, and it
Is not known that 4 single one of them
has thus far been called to account for
his Christian kindness before q solemn
tribunal OF his church.

reasonably be supposed, was greatly

tained a chicken which would soon

sRoREr SOCIETIES.

Notwithstanding all interested OPP

forms and for various objects, social,
benevolent and political, flourish OK.
tensively and we'll throughout the
country, and still others are continu-
ally springing into existence. In the
interest Of labor, locally speaking, we
have the Miners Union, a powerful
combination OF our hardy working
miners, whose objects are mutual be-
nevolenoe and assistance, as we'll as
the sustaining Of wages to a proper and
adequate standard. Indoing this they
benefit not only themselves but the
community at large, as those injured
by the numerous accidents to which a
miners life Is constantly liable, or
taken sick, are properly provided for
by the Union, and the wages paid out
to the miners each month Is distributed
directly among the st~ore-keepers and
business mon Of the community for
supplies, etc. The Sons Of Temper
ance, Good TemplArs, Odd Fellows,
Masons, and similar societies are prin-
cipally of a mutually benevolent ma
ture, and all more or less beneficial.
The object Of secrecy Is simply greater
effectiveness and social influence and
Improvement. As an Instance We will
state that the present membership Of
the Odd Fellows In the United States
numbers $50, 900, representing not less
than a million and a half Of people
when the families Of the members are
taken iato the account. The good In
fluences of the Order penetrate all the
family circles Of It's membership, and
even beyond, for not only their wives,
parents, children, brothers, sisters, and
kindred experience 1t In times Of sick
ness, but the attendants, nurses, doc
tors, aud others in the sick chamber,
and even the neighbors also, expert
ence the sense of relief brought by Its
ministrations. And at how cheap .
rate is all this mutual protection and
insurance against pecuniary distres, In
time of sickness brought about!
