~ The true girl has to be sought ,

OF The true girl has to be sought af-
ter. She does not parade herself in show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gener-
ally she is not rich. But oh! with a
heart when you find hcr-so large and
pure, and womanly. When you see il
you wonder If those snowy things inside
arc women. If you gain her love your
two thousands are millions. She'll not
ask you for carriage or first class
house. She'll wear simple dresses, and
turn them when necessary, with no vul-
gar magnificate to frown upon her econ
omy. She'll have everything neat and
nice in your sky parlor, and give you
such welcome when you come home
that you'll think your power higher than
ever. She'll entertain true friends on a
dollar, and astonish you with the new
thought how little happiness depends on
money. She'll make you love home, (if
you don't you're brute), and teach you
how TO pity while you scorn poor fash
ionable society that thinks itself rich
and vainly tries to think itself happy.
Now, do not, pray you, say any more,
IL cant afford TO marry" Go find the
true woman. And you can. Throw
away that cigar, burn up that switch
cane, be sensible yourself, and seek your
wife in a sensible way.

One Of the Wonders Of the Deep.

Quite an excitement was produced al
Atlantic City, New Jersey, lass Satur-
day, by the arrival at the landing i'm the
Inlet of fishing sloop, having on board
a veritable sea monster, which the oldest
fishermen and watermen are at loss To
define. II is of the turtle species, with
a head similar TO a COW, with white spots
on the top. The body is black in color
and from the nose to the tip Of the tai
six feet long. 1t has four flukes or flip.
'pers, and is five feet seven inches in
breadth. The diameter of the body /.
two feet and half. 1t is estimated that
its weight is about seven hundred
pounds. The monster has been seen in
the neighborhood for two or three weeks
past and numerous fishermen had at diff
ferent times pursued il with darts and
spears, endeavoring TO capture it.
On Friday, about half-past five O'Clock,
Captain Dan Champion and crew cast 9
large seine off Brigantine Shoals, about
five miles out at sea, and were success
full in getting the animal entwined in
the meshes of the net. A rope and tackle
were slipped under his body, and it was
raised Into the sloop and deposited in
the hold, where 1t was kept until Satur-
day afternoon, when the rope and tackle
were again brought into requisition and
the monster transferred to large bat
teau, and finally placed in tub, which
had been built for that purpose, near the
New Inlet House. There It was visited
during the day by hundreds of persons.
who expressed the greatest surprise al
seeing what might be truly termed a
wonder. and which will no doubt engage
the attention of biologists and show
men.

AZ Another clerical scandal is now
announced. a Methodist Episcopal
clergyman Of New Orleans is said to
have suddenly become invisible, togcth-
cr with lady member of his flock, he
being. sad TO relate. a married mau. His
lawful spouse, with her little son, got
upon his track quickly, and came up
with him at a fashionable hotel at Ame-
mia, n thriving settlement about eighty
five miles from New York, on the line OF
the Harlem Railroad. a scene cnsued
between the first and second choice OF
the reverend scapcgrace, and the next
day, the hotel-keeper finding the party
destitute Of funds, they were elected, and
the march homeward was taken up. The
entire party booked for New York, and
as the first wife refused to pay Iarc ex-
ccpt for herself and little son, the wor-
thy divine was obliged 10 deposit dia-
mond pin with the conductoras security
for himself and second wife, in order TO
escape being put of the train. Both
women quarreled furiously during the
entire length of the journey, much to the
amusement of their fellow passengers.
On arriving at the Forty-second street
depot another exhibition took place
both women claiming a right to the cler-
|gyman. The first wife, however. car
ried her point by threatening to invoke
the assistance of policeman, and final
ly escorted her truant husband out OF
the depot, while the other woman def.
|antly brought up the rear.

OF Coffee is said to be adulterated by
washing the grains in sulphate of copper
to give them a regular green color, and
to hide the rotten grains. Try soaking
coffee in tepid water, and if the water
becomes greenish, Iou may be certain
there is copper in it: Don't use sue,
