A Saco woman, while putting down
a carpet few days ago. accidentally
spilled a paper. Of tacks in a chair,
and, before she had time to remove move
them, she was called away to attend
to lady visitor, who dronped in to
tell her about a love Of bonnet she
had seen over in Biddelord and in
the excitement Of listening to the de.
scription of the bonnet, she forgot all
about the tacks. When her husband
came home at night he sat down in
that chair to take off his boots, and
then he got up again, without vast
ing any time, aud made a speech;
and his wife is ready to take her oath
that he can quote more. Scripture IN
a short space Of time than any man
now living. Up to the present wrl-
ting, with the aid Of screwdriver
and pair Of pincers, a large portion
of the offensive tacks have been re-
moved; but his customary evening
seat on the railing Of Cataract bridge
is vacant now, and will probably re-
main so for some time to come.

RULES FOR LADIEs.-1. Marry not n
profane man, because the depravity of
his heart will corrupt your children, and
embitter your existence.
2. Marry not gambler, a tipplor, or n
haunter of taverns, because he who has
no regard for himself will never have
any for his wife. -
8. Marry not man who makes promi-
ses which he never performs, because
you may never trust him. f.,sa.
4. Marry not a man whose actions do
not correspond with his sentiments. be-
cause tho passions have dethroned reason,
and he is prepared to commit every crime
to which an evil nature, unrestrained,
can instigate him, The state Of that man
who regards not his own ideas of right
and wrong is deplorable, and the less
you have to do with him the better. !
5. Marry not man who is in the habit
Of running after;all the girls in the coun-
try because his affections are, continually
wavering, and therefore can never be
permanent
(. 6. Marry not man who neglects his
business; = If he does so when sitgle5 he.

An enterprising gentleman from
Portland, Me, while travelling recent
ly in the interior Of Missouri, being
uncertain as to whether he was on
the right road, stopped at a farm.
house to inquire. The lady OF the
house, stout, buxom white woman,
unable to inform him, referred him to
her husband, who was at work in a
field near by. On going to that place
he found the husband was a negro,
black as the ace of spades. Stop
ping a moment at the house on his
return, he said to the wife, :" How is
it that a good looking woman like
yourself should have married col
ored man ?" "Oh, that's nothing
said she; "my sister did good deal
worse than that" How could that
be ?" Why, she married man from

HE CARRIES THE LAMBS IN HIS
BOSOM.

HE CARRIES THE LAMBS In HIS
BOSOM.
A sweet golden head had forgotten life's
way,
Asleep on its pillow of roses.
Wee hands shutting close as if tired of
play,
Like buds which the summon discloses
But the beautiful song Of my birdie was
still,
And over the lips of my blossom,
The dimples lay white as the frost on the
riH,
When spirit sang low to MAJ spirit at
will,
"He carries the lambs in His bosom"
There is never lamb from loves sor-
rowful fold
But wanders in fields that are vernal,
And never bud hid away from the cold
But blooms in the summer eternal;
When storms sweep the hills, and the
night gathers deep,
think Of my Paradise blossom, -
And hear the same song for the weary
that weep,
"The weakest are safest, for, over the
steep,
He carries the lambs in His BOSOM"

Our state Judiciary.

"Many years will elapse before the
State will have such judiciary as the
present"
- We would call such an utterance (says
the Abbeville Medium the very essence
/ Of sarcasm, coming as it does from Judge
T. J. Mackey, who, although judicial
officer of South Carolina, can lay aside
his political spectacles and, things in
their true light. The South Carolina Ju-
dietary, although not openly leagued
with corruption, falls far short Of the po-
sition it occupied in the good days of old
what it possesses in honesty, itlacks in
ability. A Judicial officer, in addition to
honesty of purpose, impartiality, and an
earnest desire for the right, should by all
means possess clear intellect and full
knowledge of the law. That many of the
Judges now on the bench in this State
lack in these latter qualifications, are
view of many of the decisions Of our
courts during the last few years will
make clear. We trust that many years
will elapse before another such judiciary
ias our State now has will pass upon caus-
esat law which concern the people and
the commonwealth. ga 5a@f...;. :,

house of Mr.. Aaron Guernsey, and
asked for supper and nights lodging,
which was given her. She told her
sad story as follows. She was a ma
tive Of Ireland. Had recently
buried her husband and only daughter
and had come alone across the wide
ocean TO find her only son who had
been in this country seventeen years.
Fifteen pounds, sent her by her son,
was all the money she had for the
long, tedious journey. which was all
spent long before she had reached her
destination. She expected to find him
az North Haverhill, but on reach
ing that place learned he had gone
from there to some point northerly
on the B. C. Il NJ. Railroad for which
corporation he was at work. She
walked nom North Havcrhill to Lis
bon on Saturday, and from Lisbon to
Mr.. Guernsey's. house on Sunday, a
distance of twenty-seven miles, car
rying q bundlein each hand containing
all Of her worldly goods. The next
day, on coming to Lancaster village,
she learned that her son was at the
Wing Road Station, some fifteen miles
I dQwn the line Of the road, to which
place she went the following day. and

warmer greeting ever toolplace within

separated, and who were reunited only
through so much hardship and depriEa-
ten on the Part Of the former.
