How WRIT Found WIFE.-A re-
cent sketch Of the loves of great lawyers
contains this touching incident in the
life of the celebrated William Writ: In
his younger days he was victim to the
passion of intoxicating drinks, which has
been the bane of so many distinguished
minds. Writ was noble, talented, good
man, strong in all else but that one weak
ness-and friends with but two or three
God-b blessed exceptions turned the cold
shoulder and gave him up as lost. Atfi-
anced to a beautiful and accomplished
young woman, to whom he had made and
broken repeated pledges of amendment,
she after patiently and kindly enduring
his disgraceful habit, at length dismissed
him, deeming him incorrigible. Their
next meeting after his dismissal was in u
public street in the city of Richmond.
William Writ lay drunk and asleep on
the sidewalk, on a hot Summer day, the
rays Of the sun pouring down on his un-
covered head, and flies crawling over his
swollen features. AS the young lady APP
preached in her walk her attention was
attracted by the spectacle, strange to her
but, alas so common to others who
knew the victim as to attract little remark.
She did not at first recognize the sleeper,
and was about to hasten by, when she
was led on by one of those impulses
which form the turning point in human
lives, to scrutinize his features. What
was her emotion when she recognized in
him her lover She drew forth her hand
kerchief and spread it over his face and
hurried away. When Writ came to
himself he found the handkerchief, and
in one corner the name Of her he loved.
With heart almost breaking with grief
and remorse, he made a new vow of ref
ormation. Manhood returned, he kept
that vow, and married the owner of the
handkerchief. He soon built up name
and fortune, and in the generosity OF
gratitude remembered those who were
his friends when true friendship was
needed.

BE Recommendation most TO your
spending. No matter what comes In, il
moro goes out, you will always be poor.
The art is not in making money, but in
Keeping it little expenses, like mice in
n large barn, when they arc many make
great waste. Hair by hair heads get
bald straw by straw tho thatch goes OF
the cottage and drop by drop tho rain
comes in the chamber. A barrel Is soon
empty, il the tap leaks but drop min
uto. When you mean to save begin
with your mouth many thieves pass
down the red lane. Tho ale jug is a
great waste. In all other things keep
within compass. Never stretch your
legs further than tho blankets will reach
or you will soon be cold. In clothes
choose suitable and lasting stuff, and
not tawdry hnories. To bo warm Is tho
main thing, mover mind tho looks
A fool may mako money, but 1t needs a
wise man TO spend it. Remember that
it is easier to build two chimn0ys than 10
keep one going. If you give all To back
and board, there is nothing left for tho
savings bank. Fare hard and work hard
while you are young, and you will have
chance to rest when you are old.

TO embalm a man TO make him keep il
he had ever been soaked in that water.
One teaspoonful taken internally, would
turn man into corned beef in less than

lake come up Goldfish balls inside Of three
minutes, and an an old boot leg becomes
a mackcrel inside of two hours. Three
barrels Of water will make one barrel Of

Sis. Its buoyancy is remarkable. Mr..
b. of the Y. G. NJ. Institution, says he
has walked out into that lake until he has
had fifty feet of water under him, and he
only sank to the waist. Mr.. b. also in
formed me that in disrobing he accident

into the lake, sat down, made a clothes
line of his toes, hung his stockings on
them and sat there till they dried. l re-

MULES AND WOMEN.

pOIle unhnOWn person writes 10 me rs
follows
Mr.. M. QUAD Please advise me in
your next column what to do with kick
ing mule, shall pound him or not?
My wife is also trecherous as the muel,
believe her tongue is hung in the middle
and flies at both ends. l.. l.. p.
My dear man, you have come to just
the right person for honest advice. If
you had written to Henry Ward Beecher,
Wendell Philips or Dio Lewis, they
would never have paid any attention to
your letter, or would have deceived you
if they had. l know all about women
and mules. In fact | married mu--
woman l mean, and have owned moro or
less mules since my birth.
No sir, don't pound your mule. l
know it is customary for owners of mules
to commence on the animal at sunrise
with crowbar and pound him until bed
time, but have always found kindness
more successful. Seek to gain the friend
ship of your mule, and as soon rs you
succeed you can do anything with him.
When you go in the barn in the morning
have a kind word for him, instead of
knocking him down with the neck yoke.
Ask after the health OF his family-show
him that you are interested in his welfare
be civil and yet dgnfed, and as soon
as that mule finds out that some one in
this cold world loves him he will be n
different mule.
All mules kick, my dear sir, just as all
men love to hold fat office; but there's
a remedy for it. Get an old stove boiler,
| fill it with bricks, and hang it by rope
so that it will just swing against the ami
mails heels Every time he kicks it will
| fly back like the pendulum of clock,
and the patience Of the most enduring
mule will in time wear out. | tried this
once, and the mule kicked for twenty
four days and nights before he surrender
ed but after that you might run n steam
boat onto his heels and he wouldn't raise
hoof.
Feed your mule we'll. know of farm
ers who throw a keg of nails or an old
snp-pan into the manger, and expect n
mule to grow fat on such forage; but it
embitters their feelings, and makes them
more set in their ways. OF course, |
don't say you must feed mule on fried
eggs, currant jelly, raisin cake, and the
like of that, but don't expect he can feed
on rails, and feel enthusiastic all the time.
About your wife. Don't try to stop her
from talking unless you want to kill her.
It's natural for women to talk, sir. My
first wife used to nearly kill me; but |
now remember with strict grief how !
deliberately planned her death | bet
ten dollars that she couldn't keep right
on talking for three weeks, and she com
menced. had to go away from home,
but she was woman who wouldn't lie,
and trusted to her honor. ! returned
home at the end Of three weeks. There
was no one around the house, but on the
chair where | left my dear wife sitting,
was n corset, dress, dozen buttons,
and back comb-the last sad relics of
my loving partner. She had talked her
self to death, and as | began to weep, the
corset spoke up and said
"Come down with that little ten dollars
if you please. IN Quad.

THE DAY II DONE.

The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
AS a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his flight.
see the lights of the village
CLEAN through the rain and the mist,
And a fooling of sadness comes o'er me
That my soul cannot resist
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to mo some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters.
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Timo.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Lite's endless toll and endoavor
And tonight | long for rest.
Read from somo humber poet,
Whose songs gushcd from his heart,
AS showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start
Who, through tho long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And como like the bonediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend TO the rhymes of the poot
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that iniost the day
Shall fold thcir tents, like the Arabs,
And us silently steal away.

marry, etc. Finally she said, Deah
