of others. And these claims, grounded
on natural affection, are made the more
potent by considerations that affect our
selves. By making homes pleasant we
administer largely to our own happiness
for what delights are comparable to those
enjoyed IN the bosom of ones own fami-

New York city is badly afflicted with
a horse plague, but the eastern shore Of
Maryland seems to be also in q very des-
perate plight from the same cause. The
disease is a peculiar one, bearing no re-
semblance to the epizootic. The horse is
suddenly attacked with dizziness, and
spins around until he drops dead. The
disease has been especially fatal among
valuable blooded stock, and no remedy
has as yet been discovered. In one county,
that of Kent, the loss in horsetlesh
amounts to $25, 000.-Erchange.
An unknown man about thirty years

but then if you are bent on it, go ahead.
I'll see you when you come out, and in

And the toothache goes right away then,
and the victim goes right home.-Detrost

There are persons who carry two
faces-one for their families and the 9TH
er for their friends. The face they wear
abroad is smooth and sunny-the one they
wear at home is rough and dark. The
forbidding aspect is as disagreeable as the
pleasing one is fair to look upon. Abroad
they are generous; at home they are sell
fish. Abroad they are the pink of cour-
tesy; at home they are habitually rude.
Abroad they are amiable; at home they
are churlish. Abroad they are mild and
tolerant; at home their word is law, and
the law is given in no gentle tone. They
change their faces on the threshold Of
their homes, and there all their mean and
odious traits are called into play. They
are prepared to make the most of the
slightest cause for angry complaint and
spiteful censsre.-Cor. N. Y. Herald.
The following effusion was written as
the address of letter sent from San Fran
cisco to a gentleman in Jacksonville, ILL.,:
In the middle of the blackjacks, in the city of
the plain,
On the creek called Mauvaisterre, where the bull
frogs sweet refrain
Lulls one to sleep at evening and wakes at morn
again;
Where the bilious-looking women and cadaver-
ous-looking men
Take ouinine all the DAYTIME till the bullfrog
croaks again;
Where the Shiny looking reptiles glide whenever
you appear,
And with croak jump off the log into the Maui
vaisterre-
Lives my young friend. ---, who has as
much renOwn
For wit and bubbling humor as any man in town.
Tbs refore, P. NJ. of Jacksonville, observe if he's
about
You'll know him by his curly hair and little
turn-up snout,
And if you chance to see him out there among
the boys
That have left behind in the State of Illinois
Please hand to him this letter and say to him
fOrI:
That everything is lovely and the goose hangs
high.
