Married POItteness.

"Will you?" asked a pleasant
voice, "Yes, my dear, with pleas
ure," replied the husband, It was
quietly, but heartily said, the tone,
the look were perfectly natural.
How pleasant and gratifying must
that courteous reply have been to
the wife. Many husbands Of a few
years experience are ready enough
with the courtesies of politeness to
the young ladies of their acquaint-
ance, while they speak with abrupt
ness to the wife, and do many rude
things without considering them as
worth an apology. The stranger
who they may have sen but yester-
day for the first time is listened to
with delight, while the poor wife, if
she relates a domestic grievance, is
snubbed, or listened to with but liz
concealed Impotence.

For years there has existed a strange

here to be distinguished for their i'll

bition Of each Heaven knows, aided by
empty heads aud coarse tastes, they wero
rude enough, but which girl was entitled

mined, aud popular disfavor varied from
day to day rs some fresh instance OF i'll

They were daughters OF families holding
recognized social or official positions,
and, received at almost every house, one

at an entertainment one night, for exam
ple, and a lady, recognized as o con-
hrmed invalid, feeling faint, attempted
to get to the d%ressiDgroom on the floor
above. The stairs were blocked, and the
rudest girl never moved. Her yopne
man, from very shame, rose TO his feet
and, after the sick lady had with Difficult
ty %ciambered over the female rutian, b,
said:
"Well, -" calling her name, which

Like the flight Of the turtle far and feet
The wild mule erept Ger the iron streets
And the people watched the racer bright
As onward he sped like a beam Of hight
Past square and block and hog holes deep
Like the glide of a ship in a sailor's Sleep
He's a melted mule as strong and hno
As nature can bring from the darksome mine
And so may he crawl Ger the iron rail-
While a eentury's sun shall shine and pale
And may all the boys be thore to see,
And a now regime Ger the mule bex be.
