and helped to the platform on which he doubled

which time his bunch OF Spanish had become

while his unintelligible iargon of profanity was
anything but complimentary to everything he
could think of.

TIE SECRET OF 4 WIRES POWER.


Nothing is more beautiful than the
belief of the faithful wife that her
husband has all the talents, and
could, if he would, be distinguished
in any walk Of life; and nothing
would be more beautitul-unless this
is a very dry time for signs-than the
husbands belief that his wife is
capable of taking charge of any of
tie affairs of this confused planet.
There is no woman but thinks that
her husband, the green grocer, could
write poetry if he had given his mind
to it, or else she thinks small beer or
poetry, in comparison with an oc-
cupation or accomplishment purely
vegetable. 1t is touching to see the
look of pride with which the wife
turns to her husband from any more
brilliant personal presence of display
Of wit than his, in the perfect CON
fdence that if the world knew what
she knows there would be one more
popular idol. How she magnifes
his small wit and doats upon the eself-
satisfied look in his face, as if it were
sign of wisdom. What q counselor
that man would makel What war
rior he would bel There are a great
many corporals in their retired homes
who did more for the safety and sue
cess of our armies in critical moments
in the late war than any Of the "high-
cock-a-lorum" commanders. Mrs.
Corporal does not envy the reputa-
tion of General Sheridan, she knows
very we'll who really won Five Forks,
for she LAS heard Of the story o hun
dred times, and will hear it hun
dred more with apparently upabated
interest. What general her hus-
band would have made, and how his
talking talent could shine in Con-
gress. o e4. ~
There isn't o wife in the world who
has not taken the exact measure of
her husband, weighed him and set
tied himin her own mind and knows
him as we'll as if she had ordered him
after designs and specifications of her
own. That knowledge, however,
she ordinarily keeps to herself, and
she enters into league with her hus-
bard, which he was never admitted
to the secret Of, to impose upon the
world. In nine out of ten cases he
more than half believes that he is
what his wife tells him he is. At
any rate she manages him as the
keeper does the elephant, with only
a bamboo wand, and sharp spike in
the end. Usually she fatters him,
but she has the means of pricking
clear through his side on occasion.
1t is the greatest secret of her power
to have him think that she thorough
ly believes in him.

HOW A CLANDEsTINE OOURTsHP
WAS BROKEN UP.

A most ingenious device for carry
ing on clandestine courtship was
brought to light by o grape skin,
Friday evening. The young lady
lives with her parents and brother
on Pine street, The young man
whom she favored is trifle obnox-
ious to the rest of the family, and it
has been their aim to keep him at a
distance. As he had not been to the
house for some time, and as she had
not been discovered with him on the
street, the family Aattered themselves
that the ill-starred match was broken
up. On Friday evening the brother
arrayed himself in his best suit and
went down street. An hour later,
while passing along the dark side OF
the street, he encountered the OBJ
iectionable suitor engaged in close
conversation with another man. Not
wishing to notice him he lifted his
eyes above the level Of the other
party's head, and was preparing to
sail by with an unconscious demean-
or, when no unfortunately stepped
upon the skin Of o grape, and losing
his balance, shot violently into the
strange gentleman's legs, bringing
him down upon himself. The young
mans embarrassment was changed
to horror and astonishment, when
the stranger cried out in the voice OF
his sister, "Oh Tom how could youP"
He sprahg to his feet in an instant.
The stranger was also getting up,
and presenting q most. remarkable
Appearance. His face was red as
scarlet, and his glossy moustache
was turned half way around, one-half
laying across his mouth, and the
other5 hugging the lee side Of his
nose. "Why Maryl" exclaimed
the shocked brother. But Mary said
nothing, and held her head, while
her lover made scarce. The brother
took the sister home, and her mother
escorted her to her room, where she
us at once undressed and put to
he'd With hot bricks TO her feet, and
a o1art oi bonesst down her throat.
Her mother, Who could not believe
Ill Of her daughter, declared it was a
case Of bilious fever, and deteImln-
ed to get the best Of it. The ioyer

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE
WORLD.


Although every school boy and
girl in the land has read of the "seven
wonders of the world" and every
person of any intelligence has either
read or heard of them; probably
ninety-nine persons out of a hundred
who might be asked the question
could not name them.
They are:
l. The Pyramids, the mystery of
the past, the enigma of the present,
and the enduring for the future ages
of this world.
2. The temple, the walls, and
hanging gardens Of Babylon, the most
celebrated city Of Assyria, and the
residence of the kings of the country,
after the destruction of Nineyah.
3. The Chryselephantine statue Of
Jupiter Olympus, the most renowned
work OF Phidias, the illustrious artist
OF Greece. The statue was formed Of
gold, and was sitting on a throne
almost touching the summit of the
temple, which was severity feet high.
A. The temple of Diana at
Ephesus, which was 220 years in
building, and which was 425 feet in
length and 23O in breadth, and sup
ported by 127 marble columns of the
Ionic order, 80 feet high.
5. The mausoleum of Halicarnas-
sus, erected to the memory Of
Mausoleus, the King of Caria, by bis
wife Artemisia, B. Q. 1858.
6. The Pharos, at Alexandria, a
lighthouse erected by Ptolemy Softer
at the entrance Of the harbor at
Alexandria. 1t was 42O feet high,
and could be seen at distance of a
hundred miles, and upon which was
.rscriSed "King Ptolemy to the gods,
The s,viors, for the benefit of sailors"
7. The Colossus at Rhodes, the
brazen image OF Apollo, lO5 Grecia9
feet in height, and witch was located
at the entrance Of one Of the har2ors
of the city of Rhodes.

LOST NOVEL


The Suns "John" has q pathetic
"Reminiscences of Meriden lConn. },
which he thus relates:
| am now at Meriden. It's the
very place where a female novelist
was lost to society. She was lost in
this way: She had written a novel,
"The Dead Minister; or, The Fatal
Dish Rag" or some such name, and
she had lover, and one fatal night
she down to read that novel TO her
lover. She commenced to read, as
follows; "Winfred Attleboro sat
with bated breath a fishing" ="
"You mean bated hook" said be.
81 mean bated breath, says she.
Saws he, "Who in the deuce ever
fished with a bated breathY
Says she, "You're a fool2"
SAYS he Farewell, Susan; alasl
farewell"
He might have added another let
ter to that alas, for it proved a last
farewell. Two loving hearts were
severed, and her book was lost TO the
world, for in her rage she used it to
kindle fire 10 ripen some goldfish
balls with.

THE WILLIE DE HAvKE.

The following additional particulars
of the loss of this steamship and the
horrors Of the wreck, come from New
York kilograms of December 14th:
By the Liverpool steamer arriving
last night, several Of the survivors oi
the Vile de Havre disaster returned.
Mr.. Wait, passenger says that on
Thursday, the Goth, the fog cleared
off and the weather was clear. This
continued until Friday night, up to
the hour when the disaster occurred.
The lights were all in order when
she was struck by the Lochreas amid
ships. Tim force of the collision was
so great that the Lochrean cut into
the side and deck of the Vile de Ha-
vre ten OF twelve feet deep and TWEEN
ty-fye or thiry feet long. She began
to ell at once, and sank in about
twelve minutes. The scene on board
was heart-rending and beyond any
description. Five minutes after the
collision the mrinmast fell, bringing
down the other masts with it. This
mast fell across two large boats filled
with passengers, killing several and
rendering the boats useless. The
steamer had eight boats, but the time
was too short and only two could be
safely launched. The whale-boat
and the captains gig were not proper
ly launched before the steamer set
tied down and sank; 313 human be-
ings'were struggling in the water at
the same moment. A number of
these were picked up and placed in
the two boats, and, happily for the
survivors, the sea was not running
high, and 81 persons were rescued,
27 being passengers and 60 officers
and crew; 226 went down with the
steamer. The captain remained
brayely at his post and was rescued,
Three-quarters of an hour after the
collision other passengers were seen
floating on planks and some clinging
to life-buoys. The captain and mate
showed great courage. They sank
with the steamer, but rose again to
the surface, and after remaining
nearly an hour in the water, were
picked up. The mental anguish Of
some Of those saved, but whose rela-
tives were drowned, was frightful to
witness. Mrs. Spoford, of Chicago,
was saved, but lost her four children.
Mrs. Bulkley lost three children.
When all the rescued we're transfer
red to another vessel the picture Of
shipwreck was realized in all its ter
rors. James Bishop, Of New York,
foated three quarters of an hour and
was saved. Mr.. Cramer, of Troy,
New York, sank with the steamer, but
arose and foated an hour, being at
last picked up. Miss Anna Hunter,
of New York, sank with the steamer,
but arose and foated an hour on a
timber and was also saved. She lost
her father, mother and sister. Miss
Mary Hunter, sister Of the above,
was saved in the same manner. The
same experience fell to the lot of
Misses Madeline and Helen Mixter,
Of Boston, whosank with the steamer,
but arose and hoated an hour on loose
timbers, and the latter over an hour
on the pilot house. Both were final
ly picked up by the boats of the
steamer.
