A Good wife-Or a Tough story.

A rich old gentleman, somewhat famous
for his anecdotcal powers, told a story the
other evening which shows that he either
has most remarkable wife, or else that he
has remarkable faculty for extending the
truth. He said he had not been hard
pressed for money during late years, but
he was once when he was doing large
business. "One day in particular" he
said, II looked 80 terribly glum at break
fast that my wife discovered something
was the matter. "What ais you, my
dear?" says she. "Well," says l, ''f you
will know, have got seventeen thousand
dollars to pay to day, and nothing to do it
with" "Is that all 2" says she. "And
enough too" says l. With that she says
nothing, but whips up stairs, and brings
me down the seventeen thousand dollars,
all in the small change i had given her,
from time to time, to do her marketing
with"

LB-A facetious individual not many
miles from Danbury, Conn, sought to
"draw his wife out" by pretending to
be found dead with an empty laudanum
phial by his side. And that lady was a
good deal shocked at first, but having read
that needle introduced into the human
flesh would indicate on the surface whether
the flesh was dead, and being woman of
eminent practicability, she at once armed
herself with polished instrument of
nearly two inches growth and with throb-
bing heart and bated breath introduced q
good share of its length into an appropri-
ate portion Of the deceased. What the
surface of the needle really indicated was
not learned, as he took it with him as he
passed through the sash.

ENIGMA DEPARTMENT.
A RIDDLE.

God made Adam out of dust.
But thought II best to make me frat.
80 was made before the man,
According to his holy plan.
My body He made complete,
But without legs or arms or feet.
A living creature became,
And Adam gave me my name.
Then from his presence withdrew.
No moro of Adam ever knew.
Thousands Of miles go In fear,
But seldom on the earth appear.
My body was complete and whole,
But was made without a soul.
But God in me did something see,
And put living soul in me.
A son in me the Lord did claim,
And took from me that soul again.
And when that soul from me had fled,
l was the same as when first made
And without legs or arms or soul,
travel now from pole to pole;
labor hard from day TO night,
To fallen mani give great light,
Thousands of people, young and old,
Do by my death great light behold.
The Scriptures cannot believe,
Whether right or wrong, can't conceive,
They are TO me an empty sound,
Although my name therein is found.
No fear of death doth trouble me,
For happiness ] cannot see.
To Heaven above De'er shall go,
Nor to the grave, or hell below.
And when NV frienda thpaa 1inea vou rand
Go search the Scriptures with all speed,
And If my name you find not there,
1t must be strange do declare.
EsS- Who of our readers who have not al
eady heard this riddle, can send US the correct
nswer.

A Joke on Butler.

A RATHER amusing story is in cir
IN culation at the expense of the emf
nant gentleman from Massachusetts COM
monty called "Old strabismus." At the
Presidents levee the other night, which
was densely crowded, an.old lady from the
interior somewhere, in faint condition,
requested her husband to get her an ice.
"Can't be did," responded "hub" in
some irritation "there amt no refresh
ments here"
"Don't believe it: Didn't we get plenty
at Belknap's the other night?" the old
woman said angrily "now go and get mo
an ice and some lemonade
81 tell you now don't be fool; there
amt no refreshments, everybody says So"
grunted the lord and master.
"You are quite mistaken, sir" said the
Hon. s. s. Cox, who happened to be near,
and who never looses an opportunity to put
in joke. "The President always pro-
vides substantially. There is his butler,
whose business it is to show ladies to the
upper room,' - and the Hon. little jester
pointed to General Butler. "You'll find
him little stuck up and cross, but you
mustn't mind that; tell him to get you ter
rapins"
This was said SO gravely that the two
struggled through the crowd to where Gen.
Butler was talking to some ladies.
~ say, mister, am told you are the
butler" said the man.
"1m General Butler" replied Old
Strabismus pleasantly, thinking the two
country people filled with admiration Of his
greatness.
81 don't care whether you are General
Butler or not, but my wife wants some
terrapins and lemonade"
"Sir?" snorted old b., in amazement
and disgust.
"Oh don't take on airs, old cock. Come
now, hurry up them terrapins,
You must be drunk, sir you must be
drunk
"No he amt" screamed the wife.
"Ie's Knight Templar, he amt drunk,
but guess you are"
s. s. Cox was forced to join. General
Butler, Redeemed in the face and began
putting his cheek out in the most violent
manner
81 don't understand this extraordinary
conduct. What do you want, sir-what
do you want?
Terrapins, tell YOU"
What do you take me for, you cussed
fool9" roared Benjamin.
You call me cussed fool and I'll hit
you on the snout" screamed the man.
AT this juncture an officer of thespolieco
seized the bellgerent husband and led him
away amid much laughter. Butler, turn
ing suddenly, saw the mischief maker.
81 say, Cox, did you do thatp p''
"Well, yes, I'm afraid did,"
Well, owe the terrapins, and I'll nav
You, mind that-I'll pay YOU"
And the two walked lovingly away.

TUT HIsroRY OF A NATIONAL REMEDY
Here is the history of the most celebrated
tonic of the age in nutshell. In 1860 it was
announced that certain combination of veg
etabe ingredients, with pure difiusive slim
ulent, was working wonders in the cure of
chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver
complaint, periodical fevers, rheumatism and
constitutional weakness. The unpretending
name given to the specific was PLANTATION
BIrrERS. The statement attracted the at
tention of lnvalids everywhere. The new
remedy received fair trial, and the results
more than confirm all that has been said in
its praise. Thenceforward it was a grand
success. The business columns of the press
spread the glorious news far and wide, and
the martyrs to indigestion, billiousness, physi-
cal prostration and premature decay, as if by
common consent, sought relief from the new
vegetable restorative. They found what they
sought. From that time to the present the
increase in the demand for Plantation Bitters
has been one Of the most striking events in
this age. june25+eod&wlw

Railroad Accident.

Eutland VI, 30. The night express train
over the Rutland division of the Vermont
Central Railroad due in Rutland about mid
night. last night met with a serious &C.
cident just north of Nergennes while passing
over a narrow culyert ut the rate Of 80 miles
per hour. The engineer felt a jar, the loco
motive however passed in safety but no sooner
had it passed than the culvert fell in making
a complete wreck of the train, consisting of a
baggage car, New York coach and sleeping
car. Boston coach and sleeping car. Strange
to say but one person, brakeman, was
seriously injured. Although all the passen-
gers were badly shaken up, it seems almost a
miracle that many were not killed

Hon. Joshua Nye has resigned his position
as Financial and Purchasing Agent of the
Maine Central Railroad Company, and his
connection with the road ceased on Saturday.
Mr.. Nye was Treasurer of the old Maine Cen
trail for sixteen consecutive years, and has
been Purchasing and Financial Agent of the
new corporation for little over year His
ability and fidelity to every trust have made
his services almost indispensable to the COM
pany, and they part with him with regret. 1t
will be hard to find man to fill his place. We
are glad to know that the resignation of Mr..
Nye will not have the effect to cause him to
remove from Augusta. He has accepted the
position of General Agent OF the Equitable
Life Insurance Company, for Ceatral Maine,
having entire control of its management in
that territory, and his headquarters will be in
this city. Were we allowed to give our read
ers the figures of the liberal salary he is to
receive, our readers would see that the SER
vices of MIR. Nye are appreciated abroad as
well as at home.
