AN INTERESTING MATRIMONIAL
PARTNERsH1P.-Miss Olympia Brown.
was married last spring, but hasn't
changed her name. She says that she
and her husband agreed before they
were married that they should hold on
to their own names. In fact, she
wculdnt have married without such
an agreement. I asked her if Mr..
Willis (hcr husband) didn't wish to
change his name to Brown. She said,
"Oh, no. He would be simple if he
did, Willis being much prettier name;
besides, had his name been Higgin-
bottom, he would have preferred to
retain it, considering it was his own,
and the one he had always been known
by" I asked her if no one ever called
her Willis I She said, "Oh, yes, some
times they did, but she didn't wage
any special war on that, any more
than if they had called her some pet
name that never belonged to herr And
so it is John Henry Willis and the
Rev. Olympia Brown; and ho attends
to his grocery business, and Olympia
breaches to her congregation of saints
and sinners every Sunday, and they
keep . snug little house in Bridgeport
on Gordon Hill, and the name on the
door is "Olympia Brown"-that part

Our soft naples have come through
the winter as sound as cOttOnw0OCs,
and where they have been cultivated
they look extremely thrifty; in short,
they are the most hopeful trees we
have yet planted. Such being the
fact, these trees ought to be planted
largely, and they will be. Men will,
after time, plant them by the acre
for sale. There is no great difference
between the hard maple, and the soft
maple for making sugar. The sap Of
the soft maple is not as sweet, but it
is more abundant, and the quality of
the sugar is light, and Of good flavor;
80, as the matter now appears, we can,
if we grow the trees, make maple
sugar here in small quantities, as well
as not. In ten years from. row, the
maple trees here in town cal be tap
ped, and it will be q matter Of some
curiosity to ascertain how the sap will
run where irrigation is required. Ono
thing is certain, there viii be no wad-
ing around through the snow and mud
to gather The sap, and no rain and
snow storms will make the work every
way disagreeable.- Greeley, Co.., Tr;.

We are informed by an English pa
per, which is very exultant over the
fact, that "antiquary, after a long and
painful examination old documents
has discovered that the name of Chau
GERS mother was Agnes" 1t is proba.
BILE that no tongue will ever be able to
tell what a load this takes off our mind.
For years we have been haunted by a
dark and dismal dread that it would
turn out that Chaucers mothers name
was Mary Jane. It brooded over us
like nightmare; it haunted us like a
goblin. We would wake up at night
and feel the cold chills run down our
back as We meditated that that wo-
mans name was Mary Jane. We felt
that if it should be found out that she
had that name, all the happiness would
be blOtted from our life, existence
would become burden, annihilation
would be bliss, and groceries and mar
keting useless baubles. But her name
was Agnes, and things are serene
again. That is, they are partially
serene; we can not be entirely happy
until some other antiquary ascertains
if Chaueer's maiden aunt had wart
ON her nose. Clear this up, and the
world will no longer be q gloomy prison
for us.-Mar Adelcr.

DON'T MARRY A NTOEER.

a writer in Good Words tells the
following story of the difficulty some
people meet with in entleayorinr to
!ead a ''leligious life" A young lady
had gone to visit a young couple OF
the better class of the poor. They had
no children, and the husband being q
stOker on the railway, they were above
the reach Of want. Under these cir
cumstances it seemed to the visitor
that they might have attended to their
religious duties at least to the extent
OF going to church on Sundays. and
she ventured to intimate as much to
the young woman, who was standing
rather idly at the door. "Will YOU
please walk i'll till show you some.
thingi" was the woman's answer; and
she conducted her visitor to the little
kitchen, where her husband sat by the
fire. He had just come home for half
an hour to have his tea, and was watch
ing the kettle with the most absorbing
interest. He was, Of course, in his
working clothes, and his hands and
face were of deep oily black, after the
manner OF StOkers.
"Now, ma'am,~ said the woman,
pointing to him, "you see that there
man; that's my husband, and I'm
bound to do my part by him, ain'f IT,
"Surely," said the visitor, anxious
to uphold the duties of matrilnony.

mcnt has he to wash himself through
the week, out early and late and half
of the night, too, and blacker nor any
crow all the while. Well, on SUNDAYS
it is fitting and proper that he should
look like Christian if he can, SO lie sets
me to it, after We eats our breakfast,
with a bucketful Of soap-suds and
scrubbing brush, and l rubs at him OIL
and off all day, till my arms ache, and
he amt much better than he wor; and
then after we has our tea, he says to
me: "Come, Sally, have another try,
there's q brave wench," and goes ut
him again, and sluices him down until
you'd think a born nigger 'ud come
out white; and if you'd believe me,
ma'am, when polishes him off with a
dry towel afore he goes to bed he's

ment, "So you see, ma'anl, those as
