THE HEN-PEcKED MAN.-The hen-pecked
man il most generally married, but there are
instances on record of single men being har-
rassed by the pullets.
Yu can alwus tell one of these kind Nv
men, espesbily if they are in the company Nv
their wives. They look as resigned to their
fate as hen turkey on wet day.
There aint nothing that will take the starch
out of man like being pecked by woman.
1t is wus than seven months Of the fever and
agy.
The wives of henpecked husbands most al
wus outlive THAR victims, and have known
them to get married again and git hold ov a
man that time, (thank the Lord y who under
stood all the henpeck dodges.
One of these kind of husbands is an honor
to his sex.
The henpecked husband, when, he gifts out
amung men, puts on airs Nv bravery and
defiance, and once in while will git leetle
drunk and then 60 home with firm resolve
that he will be captain of his household; but
the old woman soon takes the glory out Of
him, just as she would half drowned chicken

THE ARK.-The Hartford horse cars in the
winter present such a ridiculous appearance,
with their canvas covers, that once were
white, but now are of an inde6nable color,
that the following dialogue seems very natu-

pay The late Robert Hall, the celebrated
Baptist preacher of London, who continued
his pulpit services long after disease had made
him great sufferer, was particularly sensi-
tive to any want of attention on the part of
his audience. On one occasion there was a
great commotion in the choir, at the opposite
end of the church, which at last he could bear
no longer, and cried OUT
"What is the matter there? should think
the devil was among you"
"No, sir; ; it's not the devil, but lady wots

she's not likely to come to, soon" said one Of
the choir.

the doctrine of Washington physician that
bald-headed men were short lived. 1t gives
us pleasure to state in refutation Of that
gloomy theory, that a learned New York

than Woods had done, that my command was
too small for the provost duty of Columbia
but said that Howard's orders were, one bri-
gade must guard the city, and he could not
change them. Inow had intimation that the
Union officers released by US from the city
prisons had formed society, to which had
been added many members from our soldiers
and the negroes, and the object of which So
ciety was to burn Columbia.
Colonel j. D. Palmer, commanding my
regiment, the Seventy-6fth Iowa, and to whom
1 had entrusted the charge of the most dan
gerous part of the city, viz: that on the riv'
er and in "Cotton Town. confirmed my opin.
ion that there was a plot to burn the city, by
telling me that several fires had started in his
district; that he had succeeded in putting
them out so far, but could not hold out much
longer; and that in his opinion, the next one
would fire the city.
The wind after sunset had increased in VIC
lence, and about o'clock, was blowing al
most hurricane from Colonel Palmer's dis
trict right toward the heart of the city. AL
at once, fifteen or twenty flames, from a.
many different places along the river, shot up
and in ten minutes the fate of Columbia wa
settled. Most of the officers, and many of thu
men, worked like heroes all night in saving
property. Gen. Sherman set the example
and often during the night noticed him a
hard at work as any private soldier or fire
man. By the next morning, it was discover
ed the guard had been to small d.; and thougl
a square mile of the heart Of the city had bccl
eaten out, and the mems appetite for revenge
sat:ated, yet it was then considered that di
vision of troops was necessary for proves
duty. My command was relieved to 60 int
camp to rest and recruit, as the entire com
mand was entirely exhausted and worn out
On our march from Columbia, one of tn
released Union officers, noted above, called OF
me, and stated, as he had heard rumors that
had fired the city, he wanted me to take hi
name and address, and, if necessary, use him
as his testimony would entirely exonerate M
from such charges.

sa" Consumers of sugars will be pleased
with the prospect of low prices for the coming
season. The New York Grocer says sugars
will be abundant and cheap. The crops in
all producing countries are large, and as the
beet root crop of Europe this year will yield
an estimated amount Of 1 100000 tons, an in.
crease of 100000 tons over last year, this will
fully meet the wants of Europe, and by so
much lessen the demand for cane sugars. The
result will be that larger amount Of raw su-
gar than usual will seek market in this
country, and consequently keep prices down.

Arc the Planets Inhabited

This has been a mooted question
among those supposed best qualified to
answer. Reasoning from analogy, it is
hardly possible that such magnificent
worlds as are within scopic inspection.
far surprising our own in magnitude
and celestial beauty, are solitary globes
destitute Of living forms organized for
enjoyment as much as we enjoy In con-
nection with the planet on which our lot
was cast. This earth is inferior in many
re poets to which it belongs-and why
shouli it have been selected for the dis
pay of organized beings instead of some
other of far greater capacity occupying
a higher position in relation to the cen
ter OF the solar system?
One modern philosopher has attempt
ed to show that it is only in the particu-
lar circuit in which the earth moves, life
can be developed. On either side there
must necessarily be perpetual monoto
ny without organized, vitalized forms
Assertions and proofs are widely differ
ent. It is in accordance with the econo-
my Of Divine government to believe that
every one Of the planets in the solar sys-
tenn aud millions more beyond, are teem-
ing with living beings similar to those
occupying this. fitted to the conditions
of the physical structure of those distao.
spheres. With the spectroscope it ha,
been demonstrated that the compositio
of those worlds is essentially like the
earth in metallic resources. and why not
ia all other respects?

Cash Value Of "a I.ssborins Man.

Under this caption the Portsmouth
New Hampshire. Chronicle has the fol
| lowing sensible article:
T, 1t is often remarked By persons WHIT
| do not possess property, and who depend
upon their daily labor for support Of
themselves and families, that they arr
worth nothing financially speaking.
This language is generally INDUCED in b,
men in the community who style them
selves business men. Let Us examine the
question financially and see if their asser
| tons are correct.
Last year the price of common labor
averaged one dollar and half per day.
Admitting that the laborer received one
| dollar and a half per day, it required The
| whole of that sum to support his family
nevertheless we contend to say that the
| laborer was worth in cash to his family
| the sum of 1889.
The amount he would receive for one
year labor at one dollar and half pc,
day would be $465, so, which amount
would be the interest at six per cent OF

cash value of the laboring man to hi.
family.
The cash value Of the laboring man to
the community is much more than the
above named sum, as labor is the only
true wealth to any country. Without
labor our FORCES, furnaces. wooden mills,
and indeed manufactures of all kinds,
would cease to be- The music of the
loom and shuttle would be siIenced for
ever. Our national and our most enter
prising merchants take in their signs -
Without labor civilization recedes, and
the bat and owl would soon occupy the
crimson chambers of our would be bust
ness men.
Let the laboring men of the United
States realize their position. Let them
reflect that labor ia honorable; that labor
is wealth. Let them remember that they
are a power in the State, that to them
this great government is indebted for all
it possesses of liberty, glory and gran
deure.
Let them only reflect. that labor is
honorable; but let those who look down
on the humble laborer and mechanic re-
feet for one moment before they speak
in terms oe disnaragement of the 'hewers
of wood and drawers of watsr.' The
custom is too prevalent in the community
of remarks in sneering manner of the
great industrial class of our people, lead
ing youths among us,to think that honest
industry is not honorable, be it what it
may. That time has passed.
Honest, industrious mechanics and la
borers are the wealth of States, and until
theyare encouraged and fostereo our peo-
pie cannot be prosperous. 1t is no. the
cash value alone by which ne enriches
the place of his residence, but he adds
by his labor to its material wealth no
country or nation that commands the re-
spect of the world. but what respect was
gained through the skill of her mechani-
cal population. Then let all classes, more
especially the rich, respect and inculca,e
their children with tie true theory fife,
that labor is honorable, and if, in after
life, misfortune should ovartake them,
willing hands will be put forth to earn
their support"
