THAT NEW CELLAR FLO0R.-We
have been troubled for some time past
with dampness in the cellar, and last
week We got couple Of men 10 come
and dig it out for foot or two and
filed il in with a cement and mortar

that night. but concluded that Chubb.

be does sometimes when his muscles
need exercise. or padding one Of his
bows with a bed-slat. So we paid no
attention 20 it. The next morning
both Of our servant girls were miss
ing After hunting around for awhile
We looked into the cellar and there
was the cook, standing BY the furnace,
knee-deep in cement, holding on 70
the coal shovel, which was also bur
led halfway up 10 the top of the han
die. The nurse had sat down in her
fatigue, and only her head was visa
bic, while IL several places on the SUI
face of the floor there were ar holes
where the milk jug, the butter pot, the
cold veal and the lima beams had
sunk. To make the situation more
dreadful. the cement had hardened
during the night, and it became q
question whether it would be better
to blast out the cook with gunpowder
and resurrect the nurse with nitro
glyeerine and run the risk of killing
them. or to let them die where they
were and save funeral expenses, ex-
eept for the cooks upper half and the
nurse-girls head But when the &C.
ment man came he said it would be
better 20 cut them out with & cold
chisel, and be did it at cost Of two
hundred dollars, and that Terv night
both girls left without warning. The
cold veal is there vet. Centuries
hence some antiquarian will grub
around and blow il out and present II
TO museum as fossil specimen Of
some unknown animal, while be will
probaly go around leeturing on the

sis used in by-gone ages by a race Of
savages called the Adelers."

Rapidly bis wheels go round;
Though they cast no dust behind him,
Though they have no ramhling sound;
silently they bear us onward,

Soon the friends with vhon we mingle
We shall see and hear no more
Soon cur feet shall press the meadows

Free from graves and cypress shade;
Thanks to God, that world we're nearing,

why Old Maids Arc Not Married.

On Monday evening the Rev Hen.
~ Morgan delivered lecture in Bos-
ton on "0ld Maids" During his dis.
course he gave seven reasons why
old maids are not married Some
cling to family name don't want to
merge into Smith family. Some
prize their beauty too highly-don't
find purchaser. Some are too liter
ary. Literary women should not
marry; Mrs. Hemans found the feed.

to her tastes; Mrs. Sigourney was
unhappy in her domestic relations
Mrs. Fanny Kemble preferred to be

Mothers Advice.

Allen was sent to the city wbeI
quite lad. The scenes and objects
which met his eve, so unlike the
quiet and unchanging life Of bis ma
tive village. filed him with interes,
and excitement. He never felt tired
of looking and walking about in the
time spared from his employment
Among other places of which he had
heard much was the theatre. Some
of his associates went, and there was
no end to the wonderful stories thew
told of what they saw and heard
Allen felt rising desire to go too.
He manfully resisted it, however.
Come" said one of his compan-
ions, go with Us tonight. ="
No" answered Allen, mot to
night"
So you always say-not to night
come, decide at once to go"
Not tonight" still answered Al
len, walking away;

ion.
Allen shook his heal. No, no, -

How obstinaten' ~ rejoined the
other; why, what can be your rea-

Allen hesiiated for q moment.
" Ny mother told me not to go to the
theatre therefore, cannot 60" he
at length firmly replied. His COM
panion ceased to urge him long er; he
beheld in Aliens face 4 settled pur-
pose TO obey, and he left him without
Saying a word more. That was one
of his mothers last injunctions: MY
son, do not 60 to the theatre.
Under such circumstances some
lads might have said, Why, | see
no harm in the theater why should
l not go2 / see no reason why /
cannot so. Ny mother, / fancy, did
not know as much as she thought she
.dl-xshe, way of home, cannot tell
what is what besides, other young
men of my age 60" | say that some
lads might have reasoned thus, and
disobeyed and gone Not so with
Allen. His mother bade his not go
that was sufficient for him. He trust
ed to her knowledge, and confded to
her Judgment, and be meant to obey
her; YES, and what was better, he
was not afraid to say So 1t was a
wise decision, and if every youth
away from home had moral courage
enough to decide doubtful questions
in the same way there would be many
better men for it. Allen is now an
excellent and honored man-S. s

Faithful to his Vow.

A singular suicide recently occurred

a young widower. Some six years

that he should never marry again.
After the death Of his wife, Mr.. Doty
went to Chicago, where, 1t seems, he
afterwards became euamored OF 8
young lady, aud to whom, In due
course Of time, he engaged himself to
be married. The PROMISE that had beea
made to the dying wife seemed to
haunt him at all times, and had so af-
fectcd his happiness that some time
ago. when he WAS visiting his friends,
he said TO them that he dared not carry
a pistol or knife with him, as the
temptation was strong to him TO take
his own life. Having occasion to
visit the scene Of his former happiness

formerly occupied by himself and
wife. and there communicated his rash
Intentions to a gentleman whom he
had requested him to accompany him.

sharp report Of pistol announced that

THE JERSEY CHARTER ELECTIONS.

The charter election in Jersey City yesterday re-
suited in the return OF eight republicans TO four
democrats In the Board OF Aldermen, precisely the
same result as that OF last year. 1t was attained how
ever in different way this time for the democrats
lose one in the Fifth and gain in the Sixth dis
trict. In the Second or "Horseshoe" district
which contains scarcely a corporal's guard of
republicans, the regular democratic ticket
was defeated. Although there was not any
extraordinary visitation OF snow and frost in
this district during the Winter, politicians found
it very slippery Yesterday. The following is the new

trict fell TO seventylour. The vote was light, yet
there was very close contest. The democratic
candidates were decided Improvement on those
