LENT.-Lcnt will begin this year on the
10th of February, much earlier than it has
done since 1869. This will bring the high
festival Of Easter on the 2Sth of March,
which is within six days of the earliest period
upon which it, can ever possibly occur. On
some years Easter falls as late as the 25th of
April. Some years there are as many as nine
Sundays between Epiphany and Ash Wednes-
day, but this year there will be only FIVE Sun
days intervening between the jubilee of
Epiphany and the solemn fast of Lent

THE BABY'S ASLEEP.

Tue girlish young mother starts up to her
feet,
She knows we'll whose footsteps sound out
in the street,
And flies, in her dread of a noise waking
shock
To open the door ere her husband can knock;
But yet, ere she usl.ers him into the room,
How softly she whispers this fiat of doom
"Be careful, tread softly, and silence pray
keep,
Because the sweet cherub, the baby g asleep."
They take tea together, and quietly chat
OF friends and relations, of this thing and
that,
Bat chiefly of baby, favorite theme,
That keeps the wife's features with pleasure
agleam,
Yet often she gives fond glance to the spot
Where bahy's asleep in its wickerwork cot.
y stir, the least sound, nIakes her mother
heart leap,
And anxious she. looks to where baby's
asleep.
She clears tea away, and how noiseless she
moves
Like well-kept machine in it's neat-ftting
grooves;
She comes III d she goes with the tenderest
There haste In her movements, yet care in
her pace;
She knows it l. ghJ buoyant spirits to curb
For oi o IS glec the baby's rest will dis
And often she'll pause, and with gentleness
peep
To see if there's comfort where baby's asleep.
o, blcst is the wife full of motherly care,
For sure her child harvest few wild weeds
will bear;
a fig for a woman who raves of her "rights -
She knows not her sex's divine heart de-
lights;
She knows not the pleasure, the heavenly
bliss,
The rapture ecstatic, a soul-stirring kiss;
On timorOus tip-toe she never doth creep,
And, ange!-iike, hover where bAby's asleep.

MOVING a PRINTING NG-OFFICE.-Noti long
siuce, in a country village of no mean pre-
tensions, and not a very great distance
from this city, fire broke ont. and among
other places threatened with destruction
was a printing office. As usual there was
Il lush Of excited persons, some of whom
proffered their services to remove any arti-
cles of value to place of security. Among
the rest of the volunteers was a tall la.il,
tallow-haiied fellow, evidently recent inn
portation from some verdant and secluded
valley. The proprietor entrusted him with
a full case of type, and told .liin 10 take it
down stairs earefrlly, leave it in IL place Of
safety, and return Cor another. He seized
the case, and rushing down, reached "a con-
venient spot, where he dumped the con-
tents. Then, Fastening back with empty
case, he encountered the astoniShed owner
with the hurried exclamation ''Mister
just fill this ere box up agen, will you ,
The fire is burnn' like thunder - The re-
quest was declined in no complimentary
terms. Ciepeldnd Printing Gazette.

Before daybreak, every man and woman
on Buckley mountain was plunged into a
paroxysm of grief and waling The Great
Oak and Ash collieIy had exploded, and,
with the exception cf the toor-k keeper.
every man of the Grifiths gang, who had
gone TO work at a. M, was torn and
scorched into shreds and D ches and scolia

gather from the door-man's ante-aeortens
statement, he had gone down the pit as
usual, but had almost Immediately been
horror struck to discover that the door was
open and that the air was blowing straight
along the Great Ash Gallery instead of
coming along the eastern workings. There
upon, he had slammed the door and had
run as fast as be was able to SHUT the door
ct the end of the gallery. The miners,
meantime, had returned into their work
ings and were shouting and swearing about
the air. When both doors were closed,
the air returned into its proper course, car
rying with it all the gas that had accu-
mulated during these four hours. OF
course, it ignited like spark of gunpowder,
and with irresistible force swept through
the mine and burst up the two shafts with
a gigantic tongue cf flame and report like
Titanic artillery.
The idiot boy had remained out of bed
in expectation of some catastrophe, and
when he saw the two vivid flashes and
heard the heavy reports, he danced around
the village street, crying .'lIoorah ! hoo

SHE WAS TIED Back. --She vas about
seven years old, two feet eight i'm hight,
ard fashioned something like a pair of
tongs. But she was ''tied back" like big
girls. She was badly tied back So much
tied back, in fact, that locomotion WAS in
peeled. Men turned to look at the little
figure, with its jaunty hat and floating rib
bons, its clinging drapery and tho bare
stockings below. Newsboys gaaed ut her
as she passed, and broke out in screeching
laughter, with a eli Squinty Look at
that % But not whit did this little lady
care, She tossed her head in scorn of their
ribald comments, and her cheek glowed
with the proud consciousness of being ia
the fashion. She was tied back--iike the
big girls-and that enough for her.
Her little Grecian nose stretched its carti-
lagos in the effort to tuin up as she passed
other little girls who were not tied back,
and 10 doubt she entertained a profound
contempt for them, either because they
didn' tknow the fashion, or had bad figures.

JOKE by TELEGRAPH. -Denver, Col;
gives an instance Of Joke being sarried
too far. 1t WAS pcrpetrated years aga,
but only came To light short time since.
Some time after the Atlantic cable had
been established. u telegraph operator at
Denver sent the FOL owing tispatch:
To the Emperor Napoleon, Garden of
the Tuilerics, Paris, France Gov. Gilpin
will not accede &, The session of Italy tp
France. Please let Bohemia alone
The operator supposed it would mako
some fun in The Omaha Office and stop
there, as the station agents have general
understanding in regard to each oih.r's
jokes. BY some hook or crook the .iis-
patch went on and dived under the oc.aa
and came mp smilingly IN the Garden II
the TIilleries, in Franco. The mannel Of
its reception 10y Napolen has been lost To
history. All that is known is that the EN-
peror did not pay for 1t, and the facetious
operator was hunted up and obliged o pay
the bill of $500 in gold for his little jake.
The operator was entirely satisfied with
the result Of Sedan.
