NOT ENTIRELY WITHOUT REASON
Bundav has been married two weeks and
left his wife. Bunday is a little man and
his wife weighs two hundred and forty
pounds, and was the relic of the late
Peter Pots. About ten days after mar
riage Bunday was surprised on awaken
ing in the morning, to find his better
half sitting up in bed crying as if her
heart would break. Astonishcd, he asked
the cause of her sorrow, but receiving no
reply he began to surmise that there must
be some secret on her mind thatshe with
held from him, that was the cause OF her
anguish; so he remarked to Mrs. b. that
as they we're married, she should tell him
the cause of her grief, so, if possible, ne
could avert it, and after considerable
coaxing he elected the following from
her:
'Last night I dreamed I was single,
and as I walked through a well lighted
street | came to store where Il sign III
front advertised husbands for sale
Thinking it curious, | entered and ranged
along the wall on either side were men
with prices affixed to them. Such beau
tiful men; some for 81 900, some for $500
and so on to $3.50. And as had not that
amount could not purchase"
Thinking to console her, Bunday,
placed his arm lovingly around her and
asked: -,
"And did you see any men like me
there?"
ooh, yes" she replied, drawing away
from him; "lots like you; they were tlcd
up in punches, like asparagus, and sold
for ten cents per bunch"
Bunday gotup and went to sec his law,

THE APOLOGY.

Too late stayed; forgive the crime ?
sUnheeded flew the hours;
So lightly falls the foot of time
That only treads on flowers.
All! who with steady eye can mark
The ebbing of the glass,
When all it's sands are diamond sparks
That dazzle as they pass?
Or who to sober measurement
Times happy f1eetness brings,
When birds of Paradise have lent
Their plumage to his wings?

GRAY HAIRS.
+ hel Hold ND the light

It cannot be! Hold up the light
Close-the other way;
Yes, child, your laughing guess was
right
NV hair is turning gray.
Among those tresses, long my prlde,
A thread of silvery sheen
Has dared audaciously to hide
Their ripping waves between.
All me! When youth and childhood
seem
Scarceito have passed away,
.Tis sad to startle from ones dream
And find ones hair is gray.
I know the fire burns in my heart
Or flashes from my eye
AS fiercely as it used to start
In days so long gone by.
I know I feel, love, I hate,
AS keenly as Of yore;
I had not deemed 1t was so Late
Child age stood at the door.
Life's hours seem more than ever 1uu,
And Joy crowns every day,
Yet o'er their current comes luIl-
Ny hair is turning gray.
You offer comfort, darling,-say
The silver lies alone;
Companionless it will not stay
Ere many months have flown.
GRAY hairs you think circlet bright
To crown regal head;-
One used to praise their raven light
In halcyon evenings fled.
But ah! that voice is silent now,
That form is laid away,
The lips are closed that used to VOW
Long ere my hair was gray.
Well, let it come,-the silver sign
7 live again in thee;
Thy tresses are as surely mine
And still more fair to see,
For mornings gold is glinting back,
And mornings purples lie
Along my darEng's sunny track,
Reflected in her eye.. -.
What matter, since her young LIE
More brilliant every day?
Her mother grieves not, though she
Her hair is turning gray.
All well the clouds have often riffs
Their masses dark between;
AS suddenly the topmost lifts
A silver ray is seen.
It NAV be God draws back the clouds
And lets heavens glory through
In silver lines across the shrouds
: That bar it from my view.
And can hail his path of light
Which marks my upward way,
And so give thanks because this night
My hair is turning gray.

A Curious Case.

"A most curious case of inhorited
tendencies is vouched for by the
Cincinnati Gazette rs having occur
red iii the town of Bradford juno
ton, Ohio. The story is of a baby
boy who was weaned with considera-
BILE difficulty at the age of two years.
All the usual substitutes provided to
bamboozle urchins in such casos
wore Indignantly rejected by our
subject; he wouldn't touch the
nursing bottle food WIS refused,
and what with hunger and constant
fretting he suffered nervously, and
his health fuilod to such degree as
to occasion serious alarm. He suf
fered, too, from m excess of saliva
on his little stomach, disease
which mann" as probably more fully
understand than bachelors do. For
tho purpose of temporarily pacifying
him, his father, an inveterato smoker
occasionally yielded to the child's
entreaties, by withdrawing the
cigar from his own mouth and al
lowing tho boy to!-puff at it for q
short while ut time, in his own
way. It was observed from the be
ginning that the new found sub
stitute for the maternal fount i'll
variably gave entire satisfaction
the stomnchic complaint disappeared,
the child acquired an appetite for
food, and began to thrive. But the
for smoking increased evon
more rapidly. From few little
initiative puffs ut the beginning, the
child grew into smoking u whole
cigar q day. and Increased the num-
Der till in q year Or 30 he consumed
from ton to twelve cigars daily. 1t
was noticed then that he sutfti
in health, suffered ncrvously, and
lost flesh /; and that mentally Inc had
little of tho healthy curiosity or

A Bloody Blot.
BY Telegraph to M< Eeu, and Courier

by 7elegroph to TIE fews and Courier
V1cKsDUna, December 14.-A riot
is reported ut Rolling Fork, thirty
five miles above this point, growing
out Of an attempt of the negroes to
rescue u prisonor. Seven negroes,
including the two leaders of the riot
were killed. The difficulty origina-
ted as follows: On Saturday night
November 9th, q party of negroes
assembled at the village and were
drinking and carousing. One Of
them pushed against a youth, whom
he met in the street, using rough
language. At tho same time the
youth drew knife and inflicted O
scalp wound on the negro he thon
tlod to II store for safety. The
negroes became very much exaspera
ted, md avowed vengeance. A war;
rant was obtained for tho youth,
charging him with assault with in
tent to kill, but before it could be-
served the negroes broke into the
store and beat tho young lud severe
'ly with IN iron bar. Finally one of
the party shot the boy in the thigh.
At the report of the pistol the
negroes ran, but the whites had be-
gun to assemble, md fearing n
general riot pursued and captured
ten of them and put them in tho
statioilhouse, placing q guard over
them. During the night ono of
the guard not upon duty came out
on the porch with u gun on his
shoulder and was ordered away by
the sentinel on duty AS ho turned.
his gun, which was cooked, struck
against the window and was dis-
charged. The negro prisoners
thinking that they were being fired
upon, stampodcd and the guard
opened up an indiscriminate firing,
wonnding two of their own number
and two negroes, all slightly, but
tho prisoners escaped. On Sunday
tie most intense excitement pre-
vailed there, as it was learned that
Noah Parker and Arthur Brooks,
two notorious negroes, were trying
to organize the negroes for m as

were organized under the RcY. Mr..

The New Speaker.

Tho men who stand first in the
political and commercial ranks OF
our country furnish the best owl
donco that America is still u repub
lie, much as it hus fallen away from
tho severe simplicity of other years.
Most of them arc of humble origin,
and have risen to u commanding
position in spite of the adverse cir
cumstnnccs which surrounded them.
Birth and early advantages have
had little to do with their success,
but an indomitable perseverance, and
unwoarying energy had Through
trials and obstacles thoy struggled
forward until the ono talent became
five and the five ten.
Michael G. Kerr, of Indiana, who
has just been elected Speaker of the
House of Congress-, is Brilliant
example of this class. Born in
Pennsylvania III 1927, he had but
few opportunities Of obtaining the
education which he was ambitious
to have, but, by hard study and ap-
plication, ho succeeded in laying tho
foundation for it. Afterwards, bv
teaching and attending school al
tcrnately, lie gained n knowledge of
books, which served him in good
stoad in aftcr, life. Ambitious to

elected to the State Assembly, and
III 1862 to Che position Of reporter

What to do With Trhmps..

The authorities of city have
sent a circular TO the authorities of
other cities, requesting them to
meet i'll convention to discuss the
proper treatment Of tramps. Re-
ferring to this an exchange adds:
The evil is SO large and SO univei-
sally diffused, tlmt the action of
town OF State authorities can alone
grapp'e with it successfully, and
the effort now being made to secure
uniform municipal Legislation in tho
matter is Il wise and necessary one.
What is needed is to set tramps
ut work. No doubt, there is occa-
sionally an honest and industrious
man who | o comes a tramp because
he cannot find work. 1t would bo
hard to refuse such man the tenn
polary relief which he sorely needs,
but indiscriminnte private charity
encourages IL score or idle va Grants
Where it relieves one real case OF
sltfe ing. The honest tramp will
gladly p;y for the food and lodging
by work, and the lazy tramp, who
discovers that he can no longer
live.on charity, will find tho cham
of his profession gone. Let us have
III every town, a relief committee Of
the town officials, who will tuln no
man away hungry, but who will re-
quire tramps to work out the full
value of what they receive. In this
way the tramp nuisance can be
speedily abolished, houscholders can
be saved from annoyance and danger
while no injustice will be done to
the deserving poor. Tho expert
ment has been tried in many isolated
towns, and has been entirely SUCCESS
FIJI. The uniform action Of all the
towns in the country, however, is
needed before the tramp nuisance
can be finally and eilectually sup
pressed
