Mamma was weary.
Annette watched her at the table at.
tending 70 everybody, but never attend
ing to herself. Every body was to be
fed everybody was to be fixed and
who vas TO see TO it but mamma? APP
petites were to please; pleasant dishes
were 20 dress ~luLcheons we're to beput
up every day; and every day mamma
thought and did it all but who thought
of doing for mamma?
Annette forgot that her omelet was
getting cold, that breakfast was almost
over, ana sat tasting and thinking, as
she saw hcuntouchedfood on mamma s
plate and the WEAKNESS and anxiety on
her face.
Every one was off to school or to
WORK hut Annette; Mamma, exhausted
frola hurry and labor, sat rocking and
resting.
Annette looked up from her school
Of dolls, and saw mamma pale and tired,
and remembered the untasted food on
the plate at mammals place at the
breakfast.
"She is tired" she whispered "she
is hungry she has SO many to tend,
and no Il to attend to her; if | was
only bigger if I was a like
Jo'phine, CT a big girl like our Ted"
and she sung a low lullaby, uncon-
scicus!y, TO the doll in her arms. 81
wonder if ] couid," she thought, iii
could make her anything good. l
wonder what ! could make; ;" and light
as the air her little feet flew over the
stairs, down to the kitchen and pantry
below.
81 don't dare TO ask about any
thing" she thought, "because mamma
would say, No, little daughter, you
can get ne nothing; I am not hungry,
and vou are too small ;" and she peeped
into this jar, and that pan, and dishes
without nuraber, to decide at last
that she only could "guess about
making broth, which Was easy, and
which it was quite certain her mamma
would like"
It was Just the incest thing i'll the
world to hear the meat binbbering IL
the pot, and know that she had put it
there: 70 see the rice dancing on the
bubbles, and to pick fresh parsley leaves
from the garden patch and fix them in
the prettiest china bowl, all ready for
the broth.
Never had luncheon tray SO much fix
ing before {; from the napkin, white as
snow. 10 the polished spoon. everything
was arranged ana ~rearranged, Till the
kitchen was redolent with the vapors of
broth, and Annette decided it was ready
and done.
But mamma was asleep and over
powered by WEAKNESS, on the chair
where she had rocked, and Annette
sat Oh tie 6ocr-sill 10 watch and to
wait.

SKATING WITH THE GIRLS.

Come, girls, get on your jockey hat J,
Dress in yonr skating suits;
Re sure to lace up snugly
Your pretty little boots
And We will all go Skating,
For the lee is clear aHd bright;
The 0 will oon be up, my dears;
Wen have d lovely night.
Then Don we're eff, a little hand
Tucked sGugly meath each arm,
While all the boys are talking love
And keeping darlings wa.n.
Oh, don't you th1uk it's jolly,
Mixing up ones self with curls,
And going off on moonlight nights
Skating with tie girls?
But when it comes to putting On
Lord love us amt it nice
To hold the darlinG's little feet :
For they have to he precise,
Or the skates won't fit 81 s2ugly;
so, with twists aIG twir!s,
How cong it fakes i'll putting ON
The skates of pretty girls.
The foot so email, 50 very trim,
The boot so high and neat,
Perhaps a glimpse of stocking white
May cause your heart to beat.
II takes - long TO put on skates
OF pretty ones With curls,
And YET VI wish we always could
GO ,katinG with the girls.

ross TWEED

A New York letter says $50 much
has been said in the daily papers OF
the luxurious surroundings, elegant
suppers, and refined living generally,
of Wa. NJ. Tweed, the fallen Yammany
chiefttiu, thai the Grand Jury, i'll max
ing their annual tonr of inspection
on "the Island asked 70 be permitted
to see foT themselves how Tweed VAS
treated, his mode of life, etc. They
found him living in 8 little seven-by-
nine room, with q strip Of Eag-carpet
III front Of the iron badsteau, q lew
books on a pine was hstand, and some
strips Of green cambria tackled up to
the White-wasneu wall. 4 small, prison
barred window looked out upon tie
ice, bound river and the leaAess trees in
the distance. His suit Of clothes was
the ordinary coarse, gray, prison-garb +;
aad, on inquiry, he answered them that
che wanted for nothing, made no com

quite as low o as they wanted him"
What a fall was there from the proud
leadership Of old Tammany days, with
the millions, the diamonds, the wines,
and the profusion Of other and happier
times!
The widower's grief has been pro
nounced by competent authority to be
lovely while it lasts, but it is not on
structed to endure the rude assaults of
time. A Connecticut man, who only
)ast spring threw himself upon the cold
turf that wrapped his beloved's clay,
and wept till his eyelashcs fell out, has
since had three one following him
around for alimony.

THE grand staircase of the new Opera
House in Paris, though effective and
striking, is said to be greatly overdone.
1t is literally one mass of gold bronze,
marble and onyx, combined with the
richest draperies, with statuary and
huge mirrors, and everything that the
most lavish expenditure and elaborate
ornamentation can bestow.

MEMORABLE NEW TEAR'S NIGHT

u IN L-N We "
The night of the first day OF J~anuaryr
1870, was the most remarkable within
TIE memory OF living man. Within the
period Of my own existence, [ have
seen nothing approaching the singular
spectacle then witnessed. Rain had
fallen during the day, enough to carry
off all the snow that had gathered dur
Ing the week, but, just as the last OF II
was beginning to toward the sewers,
the temperature suddenly fell, and at
dusk the half-melted snow began to
freeze. 1t was still freezing wien tie
Parislans left their homes either for the
theatre or for the homes OF relatives
and friends. Up to II o'clock there
was nothing but gsyety and happiness
in all parts Of the city, and meanwhile
the streets and sidewalks were covered
with Ice. This transformation was first
perceived when the gay reyeier5 began
to leave foT their homes. The first of
those who left the theatres vent down
the moment they placed their feet upon
the steps, and one after another, like a
row of bricks, they trmbled, slid, or
fell upon lie ice. Before the Vaude-
vile more thana score of men, women,
and children, went down peil-mell, and
Slid together into the cutters. The
efforts to rise were like those of an
inexperienced skater. Finding it i'm
possible to walk, or even TO stand erect, |
many sat down upon the ice, and either
wrapped handkerchiefs and foularls
about their shoes, or took off their
stockings to put them on the outside.
The police did al in their power to ala
the people, but they Were siippingabOut
like the rest, and frequently went down
beside those they were helping
rise. These brave fellows finally
took off their boots, and, with bare
feet, walked about for more than an
hour, until all leaving tue theatre were
deposited i'll the middle of the
As for the sidewalks, they were
impracticable, but when the ice
had been broken mp by passing car

THE RESULT Of 4 RAILROAD AZ
CiDEhT.

OLDEST.
\ Michigan romance this time. He
was middle-aged gentieman&nd he was
travelling on a railroad in the interior
Of the Wolverine State. He was portly
and well-fed in appearance, and the fob
which swung from his vest swung clear
nj the ends, SO round and prOtuberant
was that portion OF ills body which
would have been described by Shakes
peare as "With fat capon lined" He
didn't look sentimental or as all the
kind of a man to be easily affected by
lovely woman. He looked, in fact, as
though a square meal of the particular
dish he liked most would tempt him
more than Venus without her girdle on.
Some of the Michigan railroads are new
affairs, and the M Oh which this sleek
middle-aged man was riding was one of
the latest. The train broke down, and
for two or three hours the passengers
were lett to their own u for
amusement. Time hung heavy with
our middle-aged man, and he strolled
of TO the nearest farmhouse, thinking
that Il better place to wait IL than the
s~moking-ear. The hours dragged them
selves away, the train was repaired, and
the locomotive screeched ont Il warn
ing &c the loiterers outside TO resume
their seats in the ears, but the portly,
rniddle-a9ei man didn't appear. He
saw tie train start, evidently, for lie
stood with q woman on tio steps of The
farm house, but lie didn't appear at al
interested, and he was left behind. The
So crot of the Old G~sntieman's apathy on
the suhject OF rapid transportation
finally came out in the local paper pub
lishad in the village close by the scene
of the railroad accident. In the farm
house where the p0rtly old gentleman
stopped he met a woman whom he had
not seen for years, but who, when he
last saw her, was queen of hearts with
him. It was the old story of misunder-
standing, mutual obstinacyand a broken
engagement. The old flame vas re-
kindled IN the heart above the portly
stomach when the middle-aged man saw
his long-lost love, and, as she was a
widow, the encounter resulted in q
wedding. And a wedding is a better
thing than q funeral for a railroad &C
cident to produce.
PRTMUs WILSON killed his wife in

Eagles Fighting for IAN Eel.

A fight between two eagles occur
red at Masonboro Sound few days
ago. A large number of persons
were at the different landings along
the sound al the time, when their at
tention was attracted to the combat
ants by piercing cry, often repeated
at short intervals. The birds were
each of the bald-eagle species and
when first observed were about 200
wards above the Banks Channel. One
of the birds held pendant from his tai
ons an enormous eel, which the other
bird was eudeavoring to gain possess
ion of. The bird possessing the eel
was taken at great disadvantage, as
he required the use of his talons to
hold his prey, which left him but his
beak with which to ward off the as
saults of his foe. The attacking bird,
rea izing his advantage, swooped up
on his enemy, tearing the feathers
and flesh from the back and breast oi
his opponent. Long and fierce the
struggle waged. Each of the birds
was of enormous size, yet one of them
taken at SO great a disadvantage at
last perceived that resistance was in
vain, and after one despairing wall
released its prey.
As the eel descended and had near.
ly reached the water the triumphant
bird with victorious cry swooped up
on i, and, firmly closing it in his tai
ons, bore it away to the distant SAND
shoals. The struggle lasted about
fifteen minutes Wilmington ". C..

The other evening Detroit joker
slipped little pink loveletter into
the pocket of a staid old citizen as
they were riding on the street car.
OF course, the old citizens wife made
a dive for his overcoat pockets as she
passed through the hall, and when
she had digested the love letter, she
determined to commit suicide. While
going up stairs to get her bonnet she
got mad and changed her mind.
Walking into the room where he was
sitting before cheerful ERE, she ex.
claimed: Loves you better than hel
own life, eh?'" Who--what?" he
inquired. And she wants to know
how that bald-headed wife of yours
gets along, ehf' 4" | really ! cam,
-" And she wants fifty dollars to
buy her set of furs, does she?''
"Why, Mary--why, what are you
talking about, ?" "Oh! it's come out
I've got the proof" she shouted,
making a dash for his hair. The
worthy man has sworn the most sol.
emn oaths to his innocence; and offer
ing to let her employ detective to
shadow him; accounted for every

OF one thing young girls may be
sure, and that is, that the young men
who make the best sons and brothers
will also make the best husbands.
And young men may be equally sure
that those girls who are the best
daughters and sisters will also, as a
rule, be the best wives. IL your 9
man, before he is married, is des !
tute Of those affections and princi-
plies which come out in filial obedi-
ence, fraternal courtesy, and con-
trolling sense of duty, he will be
equally destitute of them after he is
married. The mere fact of wedlock
will not change the fundamental
principle of his nature. He will be
essentially the same human being
after marraige-or, at least after the
honeymoon--that he was before it.
The same principles hold true with
regard to women. The girl who is
dutiful 10 her parents, and industrious
and unselfsh and truthful, will be
almost certain TO be blessing to
him who gets her for wife.
