The cars did not run over the new bridge
at Waterville yesterday, as advertised. In
putting on the finishing touches Saturday
evening, three iron strips belonging to the
bridge were missing. They were known to
be on the spot early in the morning, and it Is
supposed that some miscreant dumped them
into the drink. A despatch was sent to Phoe-
nixville for duplicate pieces, and the bridge
will be ready for the train on Wednesday un-
less some other highwayman interferes.

A Hearty Appetite.

" Be careful what you eat" says our
health advisers. This is all right enough,
for the animal diet in warm weather
heats the blood, tends to headaches, and
is generally unwhOlesome, unless sparing-
ly used. On the other hand, fresh vege-
tables, berries, fruit and bread are cool
ing, corrective, and what the palate most
Graves. DO not be afraid to 20 without
meat for month or so, and, if you like,
live on purely vegetable regimen. You
will lose no more strength than is common
to the time, and you will not suffer from
protracted heat, as when dining on the
regulation roast. Many persons regard a
hearty desire for food as something unre-
fined, indicate, and to be constantly
discouraged. But that is all nonsense
1t is just as necessary for the man who
works only with his brain to eat beef and
mutton as for the man who labors solely
with his hands. The stomach and the
brain are twins; the former being the
elder, and having prior right to care. Let
that be well provided for, and it will sus-
tain its brother. The people who strive
to check wholesome and natural appe.
tite are people who regard dinner merely
as feed, and not the centre of an agree
able social custom, and as the domestic
event of the day. We are sorry for them,
as they must regard eating as prosacal
duty obligatory on them because they
have bias in favor of living. We all
know that we must eat to live; but by
no means live to eat, simply because we
enjoy what we eat. We are not gour-
mands because we relish chops, nor are
we invalids because we want strawber-
ries. A good appetite is a good thing,
but not if it is to worried by urging or
neglect.

The Demure Flirt.

A magazine writer says: "The demure
flirt is in many respects the exact OPP
posite Of the dashing firt. The latter
looks you straight and steadily in the
face with clear, unfaltering eyes; the
former has downcast orbs, sometimes
lifted suddenly with great effect, and as
suddenly the white lids, with their long
dark lashes, fall. The demure firt
bushes great deal, and is quite simple
and modest in manner. She is also Of a
lachrymose tendency, and her eyes fill
with becoming tears on suitable occasion.
She is affectionate and dOcile. to credit
able extreme, and depOrts herself on all
occasions in model style. She does the
poor oppressed in telling manner,
and man is brute indeed If, after re-
ceiving her soft confidence, he is not in
clined to do battle in her behalf against
the world, and does not so express him
self to the extent of bona fide proposal,
for better, for worse 1t is q most favor
able circumstance for the demure flirt
ifshe is obliged for some reason to reside
with an aunt. This relative is repre-
sented under the strictcst vows of secrecy,
but the dutiful niece, to be such mon
ster of iniquity and oppression, and her
sufferings under her sad trials of 10 terri
bic nature, that the confdant tears his
hair and groans aloud that age and sex
prevent him from challenging the in
dulgent and worthy old lady and in
Aicting upon her condign chastisement.
While he fairly weeps at the piteous
recital, she beseeches him to calm him
SELF and say, she must bear with what
fortitude she may have the burden laid
upon her. Thereupon the afflicted youth
madly commences speech with my
poor angel the result is obvious"

Quite COntented.

A writer on the ways of Mormondom
says that the arrangement appears to
work better in the household when the
wives of the much married men are sis
tiers. 1t is not uncommon for a man to
marry several of them. Perhaps it is for
the sake of having only one mother-in-
dence in a family for some time, he can
not be judge of its domestic happiness
or misery. Even when there is only one
husband and one wife, in any COM
munity, "good faces are always put on
before company" Most people are SEN
sible enough to keep their private quar-
rels out of sight. A henpecked Mormon
may have this advantage over Gentle.
He may escape from one wife who hap
pens to be in a bad temper to the society
Of another, who, for the time being, is
more amiably disposed; but, on the
whole, he must have hard time, for &C.
casiOnally he will be obliged to stand the
extraordinary pressure of them all. The
wives, on the whole, bear their peculiar
lot with tolerable grace. 1t is said that
one lady actually asked her husband to
marry favorite friend of hers, that she
might have her always with her! While
another Norman lady replied to a Gen
tile lady. who asked her how she could
bear the knowledge that her husband
was passing his time with another woman,
" Certainly it is not pleasant to think Of
but we have this advantage over you,
we know where our husbands are-yOu
don'tw The other might have well re-
tOrted that in such case IGNORANCE is
bliss % However. "tastes differ"

John Bright's Sarcasms.

John Bright has long been regarded as
one of the most eloquent speakers in the
English House of Commons, and one of
the most popular orators with the people.
His sterling common sense, his candOr,
general favOrite, and he always draws q
large crowd when announced to speak in
public.
But it is not so we'll known that his
power of sarcasm is almost unrivalled.
When provoked by the taunts of Oppo-
nents to use this weapon, which he does
but seldom, his retorts are overwhelming.
Quite recently he replied to some of the
Tory party, who had been finding fault
with the measures of Mr.. Gladstone. He
said, "These gentlemen must find fault;
it is their nature; if they had been in
the wilderness they would have COM
piained of the Ten Commandments as q
harassing piece of legislation"
But his sharpest sarcasms have been
against members of the nobility. When
boasts had been made of the antiquity
of prominent family, that their ances-
tors came over with the Conqueror, his
reply was prompt, 81 never heard that
they did anything else" A noble lord
once said, on occasion of Mr.. Brights
sickness, that Providence was furnishing
him for misuse of talents by inficting a
disease of the brain. The sarcasm of the
rejoinder was terrific when Mr.. Bright
resumed his seat. cit may be so; but,
in any case, it will be some consolation
to the friends and family of the noble
lord to know that the disease is one
which even Providence could not inflict
upon him."

Charles Dickens Mother.

A letter from Mrs. Davey, widow of
the doctor who attended the father of
Charles Dickens on his death-bed, throws
new light upon the character of the
novelist, which will serve to do away to
a considerable extent with much of the
shadows cast upon his memory by the
biography ofhis egotistical friend. Mr..
John Dickens was man ofungovernable
temper. The resemblance to Micawber
was very slight. Mrs. Dickens, the moth
er of Charles, was little woman, who
had been very nice looking. She pos
sessed an extraordinary sense of the lu-
dicrous, and her powers of imitation were
unusual. She took in the inventory of a
room at glance, and anything out Of
place or ridiculous she would describe in
the quaintest manner. She had also
vein Of pathos, and could bring tears to
the eyes of her listeners when narrating
some sad event. 1t can thus be seen
whence Dickens inherited his genius.
Charles was decidedly fond of her, and
in the midst of their poverty and sorrow
ever provided for her wants. When his
father died he took her in his arms and
told her she must rely on him for the flu
turc. He sent DIR. Davey magnificent
silver snuff box in token of his gratitude
for the care ofhis father. The old lady
was very fond of her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Charles, and believed that there
was not another women in England No
well suited to her son. Old Mrs. Dick
ems died in 1868. She sleeps by her hus-
band in Highgate Cemetery.

English Homes.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican writes: zone noticeable fca-
ture observed by travellers in passing
along English roads and by English
houses is the air of repose and domestic
comfort which prevails everywhere, and,
as a condition of this, the thoughtful
care and painstaking finish which is be-
slowed on everything, however rude, in
contrast with the unfinished and extern
pore look of many of our Western homes
and villages. The idea which seems to
govern English home life is, that here
families expect to lice permanently, and
not merely to stay, and whatever is es-
sential to the real comfort of life is worth
providing for. Hence the houses are
all built of stone or stucco, and tastefully
set off with some architectural adorn-
ment or, Mt least, have their roughness
softened and their nakedness covered
with shrubbery or clambering ivy. The
winding lanes arc bordered, not with
struggling and unseemly rail-fences, but
either with neatly trimmed hedges or sub
stantial stone walls, over which creeping
ivy or some climbing and Towering vine
trails its cluster and hangs its luxuriant
wreaths; while the wicket gates that oc-
casionally open path through them
across the fields are specimens of ingen-
uity that show where the Yankee de-
rived his power of invention.
