The Misfortune Of Locking Like Mar
ried Man.

Max Adeler has friend nanesl Slim
mer, who deserves pity. He was going
up to RSa,ling not long since. and when
reaching the depot he happened to look
into the ladies' room. A woman sat
there with lot Of baggage, and three
children, and when shs saw Simmer she
rushed toward him. and before he could
defend himself sh- threw her arms about
his neck, nestled her head upon his
breast. aud burst into tears. Simmer
was amazed. Indignant. eonfounded;
and, ere he could find utterance TO his
feeling. she exclaimed:
go, Henry. dear Henry We are
united at last. Are you well? Il aunt
Martha still alivel Haven't you longed
10 see your own Louisap''
And she looked into SINNERS face
and smiled through her tears. .r
Madam" said he solemnly, "f l
am the person alluded to as Henry. per-
mi, me TO say that you have made mis-
take. Ny name 10 Lemuel, ! have no
aunt Martha. and I don't own a SOL
itary Louisa. obligo me by letting so
my coat; II excites remark.
Then she buried her bonnet deeper
In his waistcoat. and she began to cry
harder than ever. and said: H..
30. Henry, how can you treat me so,
How can you pretend that You are not
my husbandi"
Madaa." screamed Simmer. iii
you don't cease stopping my shirt
bosom. and remove your umbrella from
my corn. l shall he obliged TO call the
police. Let ms go, ! say.
"The children arc hero" she per-
sisted. They recognize their dear
father; don't you childreu?"
Eyes, yes, they exclaimed, Its pa;
it's our own dear pa"
Aud then they grabbed Simmer by
his trousers leg and hung to his coat
tail.
"woman," he shrieked, "this il get
ting serious. Unhand the. say"
And he tried to disengage himself
from her embrace, while all the brake
men and the baggaee-masters and news
boys stood around aud said his conduct
was infamous.
In the midst Of the struggle strang-
er entered with carpet ba.. He looked
exactly like Simmer. and when he saw
his wife in SINNERS arms he became
excited and iioored Simmer with that
carpet bag and sat ON HIM and s'note
his nose and caromed on his head. and
asked him what he meant. Simmer
was removed ON stretcher and the
enemy went of with his wife and family
in n cab. He called next day TO apollo
gize. His wife had made the mistake
because Of SINNERS likeness to him.
And Now Simmer wishes he may soon
be kicked in the face by n mule. 50 that
he will resemble no other human being
In the world.

TWO FOES OF HEALTH.

Cold and damp are inimical to health, and we
generally have an unwholesome combination of
the two at this season. They penetrate the skin
and integuments and affect the muscular, gland
ular and nervous organizations producing rheu-
matism, neuralgia chills and fever, and where
there is a tendency to dyspepsia or liver COM
plant, provoking an attack of indigestion or
billiousness. The best advice that can be given
under such circumstances is to keep the exter-
nal surface of the body warmly clothed, and to
keep the internal organs in vigorous working
order with the most whole some and genial of ali

OF the country 1t will be happy day for hu-
manity, and it will surely come, when this pure
restorative shall have taken the place of raw
spirits as stimulant in all our public and

harmless substitute for the fiery stimuants re-
ferred to. Its stimulating properties are not its
chief merits, although in this regard it surpas-

this nature, whatever their type may be, to meet

A MARROW EsCAPE-A very amusing incident
occurred during the week, which came near re-.
sultng disastrously to one OF our Auburn
bloods. The young gentleman had called to
leave parcel Of merchandise on Union street.
and after delivering the goods, fingered in pleas
ant conversation with q young lady until, con-
sulting his Watch, found it time to be back to
the store Being some distance from the gate.
and deslrous OF saving time, and probably with
view to display his agility to the young lady,
made leap to scale the picket fence, but his
pedal extremities being heavier than he calcu.
lated and the fence, perhaps, beyond his capac-
ity, the point of picket caught in mis- garment
at the angle OF the lower extremties, and sus-
pended him head down. In this condition the
young man made such fearful struggles to ex-
tricate himself that the young lady was afraid to
approach him. Stitch by stitch his garment
gradually gave way, making rent to his foot.
At the crack of the last stitch our hero embraced
mother earth in a most hearty but unlovely man
ner. About the time the young man had picked
himself up, and was, with one hand on his
knee, bowling himself out of the gate. gathering
In the flowing garments, the mother of the
young lady made her appearance, which added
to his confusion. Yet the matron, in the
kindest manner possible, invited him into the
house, and suggested if he would lay himself on
the sewing machine, she would repair the gar
ment without the trouble of disrobing. To this
kind offer the young man gracefully declined,
and continued bowling himself down the street.

AT HoME,-During the holidays our Repre-
sentatives have been among us, and as evidence
that their acts thus far are eminenty satisfac-
tory to the people, we notice they have met
with universal congratulations on all sides, es-
pecially in reference to their course on the Sen
atorial fight. 1t must be pleasure to an hon
est man worth the effort to acquire it, to be met
by his constituents with "Well done, good and
faithful servant!' Our Representatives during
their holiday visit have oft received this deserv-
el plaudit or its equivalent and when they fin
ally adjourn we hope it may be appropriately
showeled upon them with renewed emphasis In
speaking thus, we refer to the newly elected. Our
hold-over Senator seems not to have kept stride
with the people in their efforts for reform, as he
voted emphatically against their choice for
United States Senator. We trust his actions on
other matters concerning the interest of the
people will be such hereafter as to redeem him
from this error, as far as possible.
