A Thoughtful Husband.

Ifhe had confined himself to his legiti-
mate quill driving duties, there would
have been no occasion for him to be
strutting around with his left hand in a
string, a patch on his nose, and an absurd
old shoe on his left foot. He was, how
ever, only another victim to that egotisti-
cal opinion of all men, that they can do
anything better than woman.
He went recently, and found his wife
putting up peaches in those old fashioned
tin cans that are closed with sealing wax.
She had an old apron on, and two or
three little splotches of sealing wax orna-
mented the floor, while the cat under the
table was licking piece the size of a
postage stamp on her back with great
assiduity.
"See here, Maria" said he, you'll
cripple. yourself with that hot sealing
wax directly" but as she made no
answer, he continued, oracularly: "Wo-
men never have any mechanical genius,
any way. If there's way of doing any
thing wrong, they are sure to try it."
"Do you think you can do it any
better?" she observed with some acidity.
.".Why of course / can"
"Well, here, just distinguish yourself,
then"
So he sat down. She handed him a
fresh can, just out of the hot water. He
took it in his hand, and dropped it as
though it had been a streak of lightning
while he stuck his fingers in his mouth
and looked sudden death to her because
he could not swear.
She gave him towel to hold the next
one with, and he took it on his knee,
lighted the sealing wax stick, and COM
menced prodding around to top; but the
bottom burned his knee, and he jerked,
bringing the burning wax stick across
the back of his left hand. Then he
jumped up and howled, dropping the
can, which emptied y spoonful of boiling
preserves into his slipper. This made
him frantic, and he went dancing about
the kitchen like an inebriated dervish,
waving the burning wax until drop
took him on the nose.
In his agony he kicked the offending
can through the window, scattering its
contents over the dog, who rushed into
the street bowling, and raised an alarm
"mad dog~ that occupied the attention
of all the people within half a mile.
Then he submitted to be laid upon the
sofa, and plastered with -four and soap
and sweet oil, until he looked like a
badly repaired scarecrow.
He is now willing to take an affidavit
the size of barn door that he will here
after let the women be just as awkward
as they choose.

A Rich Man on Riches.

The following story, says the Wayside,
is told by Jacob Ridgeway, a wealthy Cit
izen' of Philadelphia, who died many
years ago, leaving fortune of five or six
million dollars:
"Mr. Ridgeway," said young man
with whom the millionaire was conver-
sing, "you are to be more envied than any
gentleman know"
"Why SOP" responded Mr.. Ridgeway,
~ am not aware of any cause for which
I should be particularly envied."
"What, sir?" exclaimed the young
man in astonishment. "Why, are you
not millionaire7 Think of the thou
sands your income brings you every
month p
"Well, what of that?" replied Mr.. R.,
call I get out of it is my victuals and
clothes, and I cant eat more than one
mans allowance, or wear but one suit at
the same time. Pray, can't you do as
much?"
"Ah, but" said the young man, "think
of the hundreds of fine houses you own
and the rental they bring you"
"What better am I off for that?" re-
piled the rich man. ~ can only live in
one house at time; as for the money I
receive for rents, why, I can't eat it or
wear it; can only use it to buy other
houses for others to live in. They are
the benefciaries, not l."
"But you can buy costly furniture, and
costly pictures, and fine carriages and
horses in fact, anything that you de-
sire"
"And after I have bought them," re-
sponded Mr.. R., "what then? l can only
look at the furniture and pictures-and
the poorest man who is not blind can do
the same. I can ride no easier in fine
carriage than you can in an omnibus for
five cents, with the trouble.of tending to
drivers, footmen, and hostlers and as to
anything 1 desire, I can tell you, young
man, that the less we desire in this world
the happier we shall be. All my
wealth cannot buy ME single day more
of my life; cannot purchase exemption
from sickness and pain; cannot produce
me power to keep afar off the hour Of
death; and, then, what will it avail when
in few short years at most, I lie down in
the grave and leave it all forever?
Young man, you have no cause to envy
me-"

A BLAST AT TOBACCO CHEWING The
habit of tobacco chewing has been con-
demned by one of the Hippodrome revi-
valists. 1t is an unclean and unwhole-
some habit, injurious to the mouth, the
stomach, the lungs, the blood, and the
nervous system. 1t has decreased in the
eastern and central portions of this coun-
try within the present generation, through
the progress Of good taste, refinement and
elegant manners. 1t still prevails%idely
in many parts of the West and South
especially in those dull places where the
enioyments of life aye few, and men feel
constant desire for some sort of stimu.
lus. There are men out there who dc
not scruple to chew and spit in presence
of their families, or in the society of the
softer sex. There are some of them who
chew before breakfast, and never take
the quid out of their mouths except when
devouring their victnals. There are
some of them who even chew at church
and you will find many churches which
have what Thackeray used to call an ex'
pectoratoon in every pew, for the use Of
all the males who sit in it. There are
clefgymen who chew in the pulpit, judges
who chew on the bench, doctor:
who chew while going their rounds, ane
editors who chew while composing theil
articles. So strong is the appetite fol
chewing, in some cases, that men have
been known to indulge in it while or
their way to the gallows. and prisoners
regard the deprivation of tobacco as thu
most unbearable of punishments. We
have heard of female chewers, but We
must suppose they are rare in any part o
the country, though snuff dipping among
certain classes of women is not unknown
in some portions of the South. There
are members of Congress who chew o.
they sit in the House or Senate, though
we feel sure that the proportion of mem
bers who there indulge in this habit il
less than it was generation ago. Tobac
co chewing is an excellent practice tt
give up, or refrain from.-Ne'o YORK

ATExAs INcIDENT.-The Waco TEX
as) Examiner of the 4th inst. has para
graph headed, Neatly Done," which
reads: "a young man living some ten or
fifteen miles above the city was awakened
one night recently by the suspicious bark
ing and growing of his dogs in the yard.
Rising lightly from bed, he peeped out
through window pane, and there sure
enough he discovered the cause of the
disturbance. Dimly outlined in the
moonlight stood the form of man.
With one hand he was evidently untying
the gentleman's fine horse, which stood
haltered for the night; while with the
other he held six-shooter, pointing di-
rectly at the front door. Taking in the
situation at a glance our young friend
gently reached for his shot gun, and pass
ing out at the back door and round the
corner, opened the attack from an unex-
pected and wholly unguarded quarter.
Under this skillful generalship the enemy
came down while just in the act of noun
ting, and without even 80 much as re-
spending to the first fire. The deceased
was buried without the honors of either
peace or war;"

LOVE BEFORE AND AFTER MAR
RIAGE.-"You love me no longer" said
bride of few months to her better
half in his gown and slippers"
"Why do you say that, Puss," he
asked, quietly removing q cigar from
his lips.
"You do not caress me nor call me pet
names; you no longer seek so anxiously
for my company" was the fearful reply.
"My DEAR" continued the aggravating
wretch, "did you ever notice man run
ming after car? How does he run! !
over stones, through mud, regardless OF
everything till he reaches the car, and he
seizes hold and swings on. Then he
quietly seats himself and reads his pa
per-"
"And what does that mean~
"An illustration, my dear. The car is
as important to the man after he gets in
as when he is chasing it, but the mani:
festation is no longer called for. Iwould
have shot any one who put himselfin my
way when in pursuit of you, as I would
now shoot any one who would come be-
tween us; but as proof of my love you
insist on my running after the car"
