WOMAN's RIGHTS. is a Wo- mans right to stay at home. For what other reason did her hus- band marry her?
 It is woman's right to have her home in order when her husband returns from business.
 It is woman's right to he kind and forbearing whenever her hus- band is annoyed.
 It is wOman's right to examine her husbands linen, and see that it wants neither mending nor but tons.
 It is a wOman's right to be con- tent when her husband declares he is unable to take her to the seaside.
 It is a woman's right to be s@- tisfied with her old dresses un- til her husband can buy her new ones.
 It is wOman's right to nurse her children instead of leaving 1t to the maid.
 It is woman's right to get her daughters married - apply Or u0t at ail
 Il is woman's right to feel pleased, though her husband brings friend unexpectedly to dinner.
 II is 6 w0man's right to De con- tent with her own garments without encFouchiug OF those o. her husband, =,
 And, finally. it is woman's rign to remain a woman without en- deaVOrinp to be a man.

A Stage Drivers Story.

The following romance is faith. cred by a stage-driver in San
 Diego county, and nobody can doubt his reliability During a conversation on the vegetable
 wealth of California, ,Jehu detailed the following to the wonder ofhis hearers: "There is," said he, "this year a crop of wheat in San Diego county, the stems If which aver age twenty feet high, each trunk
 bearing four ears, each two feet i0ng and fully cOr1ed. The trunks are so thick that axes had tO be usei to fell them in the same way as trees." One Of his audience Ter iarked that it must be rather ricn soil thereabouts. Yes, ro-
 piled this truthful Jeems, ''close to the wheat @ peace of hay was raised, and the crop was so heavy
 a part had to be spread on fresh
 ground before it could be proper
 ly stacked" ."-S0n FrdnciscO CoU.
 There are matrimonially incIin-
 ed noodles who are not content
 with getting married like other
 people, but must have the knot
 tied in train at thirty miles an
 hour. or on horseback, or while
 crossing a river, or up in bal
 loon, or in some other unusual
 way to raise the doubt whether they marry for a sensation rather than for love. Such eccentric or idiot couples will turn green with
 envy at the knowledge that one pair recently married in England
 eclipsed them all in novelty of the proceedings. The bride was without arms, and when it came time for the bridegroom to put the ring upon the fourth finger of the brides left hand according to the rubric she just shook off her slipper and presented her newly washed left foot to the bride groom's clasp. The account says he placed the ring on the third toe. Perhaps this was mistake, or 8 corn on the fourth toe may have interfered with the ring be- ing slipped on it. Then both standing, and the bridegroom holding the brides left foot in his right hand the required formula was repeate1. Whether the pre- scribed ceremony of clasping right handz during the exchange of VOWS was omitted altogether, or get around by stepping on each others right foot, is not recorded but the account says that after the ceremony the bride signed and registed, holding the pen with her toes, in 8 very decent "hand."

THE OLD SWING.

I w.nder'd far away from home
 That happy childhood spot The rustic porch, the greenleaf shade,
 The low-roof'd simple cot; But still fond thoughts were crowding fast, And mem'ry loved to bring A happy murmur of the past.
 And our old willow swing. I --~nt to school n wonder house.
 Tha hous= uDon inc 1jA Thr robin warbIed in tde glade,
 Beside the ripping Till Tn mpm'ry still hear the tones
 And merry laughter rag. Of my companions at the school,
 Around our willow swing. I vandar'd through yon leafy grove,
 wander'd through yon dell. To meet upon the f1nw'ry plain
 My little playmate. Nell; And there we'd stay, loving pair,
 Till night her shades would bring; And oft in after years I've thought
 Of her and our old swing. The graveyard yonder on the slope,
 Bears witness to the worst; And that white tombstone can but say, That little Nell went first, The grave has had its victory,
 And desth has had sting I see 1t in the silent shade,
 And in the empty swing I've come to thee again, old home,
 A changed worldworn man; My hair is gray my eyes are dim.
 My cheeks are growing wan. But though in distant climes, I've been. An exile wandering, Thou hast been present everywhere, Thou dear old broken swing. I am the last of those who dwelt
 Within these cottage halls, Decay is written on the spot,
 Damp ivy climbs the walls: But only when within the grave
 My form is mouldering, Can forget my childhOod's home, And the old willow swing.

The Arizona sentinel., 1874-09-19

A female writer for one of the sentimental papers, speaking ol affinities, observes that woman now and then meets a man 10 whom she can truthfully say:"On the barren shores of time, 0 my souls kinsman! I have found m thee my pearl ofgreat prize ana there is nothing more precious out of heaven" I have no d0uDt that this is the case, and while l would not rudely mar the sweet poetic beauty of the picture thus summoned up, my experlence teaches me that the women Wno begin by talking in this sugary manner are usually prone to throw skillets and flat irons at "thelI souls kinsman" after marriage, and to growl at the ''pearl ot great price, because he comes to oeu with his feet cold.-M1c Atder.
