Good Writing.

Compared with the large amount
of matter that is printed in news
papers, the quantity of really good
work done is very small, indeed.
The best talent on a newspaper sell
dom has time to write at all, while
the writing editors" produce so
much matter that little of it is above
the mediocre IN quality. 1t is in
fact matter of surprise that the
standard is even as good as it is,
when it is considered how much is
expested of newspaper man. No
one thing a man can do for a iveli-
hood is so wearing, so inexorable,
so inadequately paid. Copy must
be ready on time, or it is useless. ar
ticles on matters of the hour must
be written at once, or be of no avail
Fatigue and headache do not ex-
cuse, the paper must come out on
time. Some amateurs think they
produce, and do sometimes produce
a good article, but they have had
the time for reflection, the opportu-
nifty for revision, the choice of sub
ject, a particular time to write, con
ditions which the professional jour
nalist cannot hope Tor.

HOW TO GET RICH.
By WI. D. MoRAxGE.

Put on the airs of an eight-keyed flute,
If you're only penny-whistle;
Pass where you can for garden rose,
IfyOu're only wayside thistle.
Blow, whenever you blow your horn,
So that people can understand
That you may be sharp, but you won't
be fiat
In soeiety's great brass band.
Pass the plate or hat in church
With the usual Sabbath air,
But move with mild, religious squalz,
That people may know you're there.
If you carry a nose six inches long,
(And bealS can scarce be longer),
Believe it a sign Of perception strong,
And the longer it is, the stronger.
But if in the order of usual tubes
Your organ is brief in measure,
Then breyity beingthe soul o. wit,
Consider your pug a treasure,
Love your neighbor-but mark the
force
Ofthe gospel rule of grace
The more you admire yourself, my
friend,
The higher your neighbor's place.
Clink your dime in the Deaeon's pan,
AS if you were throwing gold;
And give, with an eye to the business
hope
OF rcaping an hundred fold.
Whether your reading is little or great,
Quote right, or never quote;
Polish your uppers, though down in the
heel,
And never endorse anote.
Always advance best hand, best foot,
(Best hand, best foot, yonr Own,)
And thus you may feast on the tat of
the land,
While others enjoy the bone.

The End of 4 Wasted Life.

Last Sabbath, says the Wheeling
Hqteiigencsr Of the 14th, a man named
Henry Smith, aged about seventy
years, died Of exposure to cold, in
Sand Hill Township, Marshal Coun-
ty.
His history is strange and interes-
esting and shows that man can live
in a state of nature as well as the
beast of the field. For more than
twenty years he lived in open air
without a roof TO shelter him from
the storm. He was a man Of weak
mind, and possessed a violent and
ungovernable temper. About IS
years ago, while in q grogshop in
this city, he quarreled with a man
named Joseph Newt. and during the
afray stabbed him. The wound
proved fatal, and for the crime of
murder, Smith was sent 70 prison
for sixteen years. At the close OF
his term Of confinement he desirea
to remain in prison, but his equest
was refused. For many yeal $ he re
mained at the foot or fallen tree,
and subsisted on the provisions that
were given him by the charitable

Preside1t Grant,s Progneet.

The n, Y. Herald thus speculates
as to the probable failure or success
Of Grant for a second term:
General Grant viii be the republi-
can candidate for the Presidential
succession. His overshadowing per-
sonal claims, availability and popu-
larity will give him the nomination
against all corners and all combina-
tions. The democratic leaders and
organs generally confess that he is
too strong for their party as it
stands, and that, without considera-
ble reinforcements from the repub-
lican camp, it will be usless to fight
against Grants reelection. But
when we come to the spolls and
plunder we find that the diflculties
Of the President as a candidate for
reelection have increased since the
time Of Jackson with his patronage.
In every appointment of any conse-
quence, from five tolfve hundred
men are disappointed, and some
bOlters in each case are the conse-
quence. So, resulting, in the first
place, more or less from a division
of the spoiIs, Virginia, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Texas and Missouri have
been lost to the administration and
from the legislative squabble which
threatens a general riot in New Or
leans, Louisiana, too, may be count
ted as lost. Next our Custom
House quarrel, Fenton against
Conkling, resulting in the present
Custom House investigation, may
cause the loss of New York to Gen
elal Grant, although recovered to
him, according to Mr.. Greely, by a
shrewd employment of the spoils of
the Custom House last fall.
In addition to the States lost by
the administration, through factious
quarrels over the spoils, Sumner
threatens a break in Massachusetts.
Fenton and Greely and their follow
ers threaten all sorts of troubles at
Albany, Cox and his clique are bent
upon mischief in Ohio, and Trum-
bull in Illinois, while Carl Schurz is
operating everywhere for his new
departure with a new party. At the
same time the two democratic Sena-
tors on our Custom House Investi-
eating Committee, Messrs. Bayard
and Casserly, are working like beav-
ers to make up a case of ceSuption
which will neutralize the awful dis
closures of Tammany Hall through
the length and breadth of the land,
and with some prospect of success
One would think, too, with all the
opposition elements and floating
materials we have pointed out, that
if the democrats in Congress, or a
Democratic Convention, can bring
them into a harmonious coalition,
General Grant will have a sharp and
doubtful battle before him.

The Chicago Times shows that,
according to the basis of the new
apportionment bill, the day is not
distant when the House Of Repre-,
sentstives at Washington viii be
come one Of the most unwieldy leg
isIatives bodies in the world
Should the population Of the coun-
try increase as rapidly in the future
as it has in the past, we should have
fifty millions and $40 Representa-
tives after 1850; sixty-five millions
and 4sI Representatives after 1890;
eighty-fv millions and $50 Repre-
sentatiyes after 1900, and SC on. 1t
is plain, therefore, that the time
must come, and soon, when either
the older States must lose represen-
ta1ives, or the House become IN
manageable and too large for the
economical and prompt transaction
Of business.

How to Cook A Husband.

AS Mrs. Glass said of the hare,
you must catch him. Having done
so, a good dish is made ofhim as fol
lows: Many good husbands are
spoiled in the cooking; some women
90 about it as if their husbands were
bladders, and blow them up; some
keep them constantly in hot water,
while others freeze them by coniugal
GOODNESS some smother them in ha-
tired, contention, and variance; and
some keep them in pickle all their
lives.
These women always serve them
up with tongue sauce. Now it can
not be supposed that husbands will
be tender and good if managed
in this way; but they are, on the
contrary very delicious when man
aged as follows; Get a large jar cal
led the jar of carefulness (Which all
good house wives have on hand, }
place him near the fire of conjugal
love; let the fire be pretty hot espec-
tally let it be clear; above all let the
heat be constant; cover him over
with affection, kindness, and sub
lection, garuish with modesty, be
coming familiarity, and the spice Of
pleasantly, and if you add kisses and
other confeetiOnaries, let them be
accompanied with a sufficient por-
tion ofsecrecy, mixed with prudence
and moderation. We should advise
all good wives to try this receipt,
and realize how admirable dish a
husband is when properly cooked.

how deep the sorrow, time casts
shadows over the past. and the
wound is healed with scarce a scar.
Thus it was with Mrs. Clarkinson.
After the laps of three years she
married again, and after a time NOV
ed to Wood county. Clarkinson
was forgotten, or if ever remember
cd, it was only as we stand in the
sunshine to day and remember how
pleasantly the sun shoue last year.
For nearly twelve years she was as
happy as a kind and afectiOnate
husband and two beautiful and lov
ing children could make anOble and
true woman. At the end Of that
time (which carries us up to the Ist
inst. }, afIiietion again casts her man
tie DER her heart. Death claimed
her husband, and again she was a
sorrOwing, weeping widow.
She follows weeping to the grave
she hears the sad, solemn words,
Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes
the earth falls with a dull dreary
thud upon the coffin as the sexton
slowly covers up all that remains of
him who once lived as we live, but
whose voice is now silent and whose
spirit has gone before to the other.
The widow raises the black veil and
looks around. As she does so she
meets a pair of eyes fixed intently
upon her. She starts-memory
rushes back fifteen years and brings
up the picture of her first husband
there can be no mistake tbs he.
The recognition is mutual He
speaks, he calls her his 'dear Anna"
as he did in the days long gone by.
There is a sceae-the widow faints
