And don't be sorrowful, pray;
Taking the year together, my DEAR,
There isn't more night than day.
IT'S wintry weather, my darling,
Times waves they heavily run.
Bat taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more clouds than sun.
We are old folks, now, my darling,
Our heads are growing grey,
But taking the year all round, my dear,
You will always find the May.
We have had our May, my darling,
Our roses long ago,
And tho time of year has come, my dear,
For the silent night and snow.
And God is God, my darling,
or night as well as Of day,
And We feel aud know that we can go
Wherever He leads the way.
Aye, God of the night, my darling,
OF the night OF death SO grim,
The gate that leads to life, good wife,
Is the gate that leads to Him.

Winning Holden 0nini0ns.

Perhaps no man living has won more golden opinions than Dr. Walker, as the enormous and widely increasing sale of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR B1rrERs attests. We never look into one of our exchanges, btt there Is d pahesyfic of the Bitters staring ts in the face. Our readers will say that there must be a reason fot all this praise. They are right. The efficacy of this celebrated medicine is established by evidence which it is impossible to doubt. Among the thousands who have borne testi- tnony to It's excellence, there is not one dissentient voice. In very many phases of inorganic diseases it seems to be un- failing. All diseases arising from Q vitiated state of tho blood are surely eradicated by it. It is an efectual remedy for pulmonary complaints, bill ious, remittent and intermittent levers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. It purges the body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone to the system, and, where the vital powers are enfeeb1ed, restores their functions to vigorous and healthy ae- tion. All this it does the mora effectu- ally, because it's operation is not inter- fered with by the presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR BITTERs is perfectly free from any such hurtful ingredient. We have always believed that plants con- tain the true remedies for disease, and ost the remedies necessary. Dr. Walker is on the line of real progress, and we hope that he will not resi- on his present discoveries. s.-Con.

Domestic OuarreIs.

Married people, who have common sense and control over themselves, do not openly quarrel. Quarreling de- stroys their peace of mind, makes the servants and people in general talk, and leads to no practical result When two there is not supefabundance of of 'affec. fec. tion upon either side, the best thing for them to do, in utilitarian point of view, is to avoid open ruptures, and jog along together as smoothly as circum- stan ces will permit. This is what is In many cases done. The man goes to his club or becomes absorbed in his business. The woman flies to her friends, and keeps herself in good heart by discussing the affairs of her neigh bors, and conclusively knowing that the latter are, in their domestic rela- tions, about as miserable as they cat we'll be.

How Carl Rosa t4ot Married.

Carl Rosa and Parepa, antlpodal as they were Tn complexion, stature and avoirdupois, were supremely harmoni- ous, excellently adapted to associated enterprise. He had never undertaken management until after his marriage, and he is indebted to her, it is said, for the inspiration. He is so modest and retiring little fellow that many per- sons have wondered how he could sum- mon courage to propose to a woman so much larger than himself.
 The manner of his proposal is thus related. The musical twain were en route to Hartford by rail seated side by side; Rosa seeming to be unusually depressed. Parepa, close observer, and always sympathetic, noticing his melancholy, inquired the cause. He answered.:
 have been unlucky in this coun- try. For some reason or other have not been able to keep my friends in America. With the best of feeling and intentions, I appear to lose as rapidly as make them. think I have not to- day single friend" -.--.- she brightly. ,~'-
 "Alas P he exclaimed, signing, "I fear have not !'
 Indeed, you are mistaken, my good Carl. If you have not so regarded me heretofore, I promise you now that will always be your friend"
 Rosa's boyish face kindled with de- light :; he took her gloved hand, and with chivalrous instinct lifted it to his lips.
 "And," she added, with charming ingenuousness, |" will be your wife also, if you ike.' 5
 A fortnight later they were married. She had long been very fond of him, and he of her, and she knew it. But he was so sensitive and self-depreciating that she felt that he would not reveal his affection unless he were liberally encouraged.
 Few men or women have been better partners, sentimentally or financially, than Parepa and Rosa. They gave English and Italian opera at the Acad- emy in better style than it had ever been given, and notwithstanding tb @ great expense to which they had gone, they realized handsomely from the en- deavor. Rosa and his wife cleared here over $25O, ,O0O.-ChicGgo Tunes.

A Horrible Murder.

A San Francisco exchange tells the the story of ghastly murder. Chris
 tofore Citcovich, an Austrian fruit seller, was found dead in his room. The discovery of the death arose in conse. quence of the horrible stench emana- ting from the apartment in which the horrid sight was found. Repairing to the designated place, the coroner found the body of man, perhaps fifty y-eight years of age, far gone in decomposi- tion, lying upon the table. On exami- nation they also found the instrument of death-a dirk knife, with blade six inches long, driven into the skull from ths top of the head, and penetra. ting down into the neck, the handle of tue keen edged weapon barely discover ing itself couple of inches from the top of the hair. By the side of the ghastly corpse was another dirk knife. but with wider blade, covered with congealed gore, while beneath the pu- trefying body lay hatchet, with which the knife must have been driven into the head, also dipped In the crimson blood of this old victim to some barbarous, fint-hearted and cruel brute, who must have perpetrated the deed for the hope of gain. It is said by those about the house, that the old man had not been seen for ten days; but the men of the morgue are of the opinion that Citcovich must have been dead for three or more weeks. They say that no sight, within their knowledge and experience among the sickening sights to be met about the "Dead House" was ever so revolting.

A Romance in High Life,

At the gaming table the Duke of Richmond incurred debt of honor to Lord Cadogan, which he was unable to pay, and it was agreed that his son, lad of fifteen, who bore the title of Earl of March, should marry the still younger daughter of Lord Cadogan. The boy was sent for from school and the girl from the nursery a clergyman was in attendance, and the children were told that they were to be married upon the spot. The girl had nothing to say the boy cried out, "They surely are not going to marry me to that dowdy !' But married they were. A post-chaise was at the door the bridegroom was packed off with his tutor to make the grand tour,, and the bride was sent back to her mother. Lord March remained abroad for sev- eral years, after which he returned to young man, but in no haste to meet his wife whom he had never seen except upon the occasion of their nasty mar riage. So he tarried in London to amuse himself. One night at the opera his at- tention was attracted to beautiful young lady in the boxes. "Who is that ?" he asked of gentleman beside him. "You must be a stranger in London" was the reply, "not to know the toast of the town, the beautiful Lady March," The Earl went straight to the box, announced himself, and claimed his bride. The two fell in love with each other on the spot, and lived long and happily together and when the husband died, she also died of a broken hearG within few months.

A Deep Mine.

The deepest mine in Cornwall is Dol coath, now about 72O yards from the surface. The workmen descend and ascend by means of man-engines, and Capt. Josiah Thomas, the manager, as of the workings, states that one man has been working in the mine for forty years. During all that time he has lived at Connor Downs, distance of five miles from the mine, so that he has been walking ten miles per day in addi- ton to bis labor, and calculation which Capt. Thomas has made shows that this man has, during his forty years work, walked 10000 miles. which is equal to journey five times round the earth, or half the distance to the moon,
