DEAR WHIG:-Congress is preparing to
leave US; therefore, the melancholy days :"
are come. However, the voice of the ''mud
Singer" like the truth, will be heard in
the land, and on the stump we shall be told
how he has fought, bled and died for the
Confederacy. When our Congress leaves
US, life is monotonous, and we shall be
compelled to read all the murder cases and
police news until next December, so as to

that induced the man to buy tiger to keep
him company after his wife died.

OBSCURE MEN HAPPIEST IN WEDLoCK.
No woman will love Il man the better
for being renowned OF prominent. Though
he be the first among men, she wall be,
prouder, not fonder; aud as is often the case,
she will not even be proud. But give her
love, appreciation, kindness, and there is
no sacrifice she will not make for his con-
tent and comfort. The man who loves
her we'll is her hero and her king. No less
is hero to her, though he is not to any
other; no less a king, though his only king
dom is her heart and home. 1t is a mans
own fault if he is unhappy with his wife,
in nine cases out of ten. 1t is very ex-
ceptional woman who will not be all she
can to her attentive husband. and very
exceptional one who Will not be very disa-
greeable if she finds herself wilfully ne
elected. 1t would be easy to hate a man
who, having bound a woman to him, made
no effort to make her happy; hard not to
love one who is not constant and tender,
and when a woman loves she always strives
to please. The great men of this world
have always been wretched in their do
nestle relations, while mean and common
men have been exceedingly happy. The
reason is very plain. Absorbed in them
selves, those who desired the worlds ap-
plause were careless of the little world at
home, while those who had none of this
.egotism strove to keep the hearts that
were their own and were happy in their
tenderness. .a.

CAPTURING EELs IN COCHIN CHINA
An ingenious device is practiced in Cochin
China for the capture of cells, which con-
sists in cutting pieces of bamboo as thick
as the arm into SECTIONS of about three or
four feet in length, the divisions of the in
terror being broken out, with the exception
of the one at the end, which forms the bot
tom of the snare. At the entrance is
placed a slight grating Of bamboo, and
some bait, either of fish or earth worms, is
introduced into the interior. The bamboo
is then laid at a slight depth in the mud,
and the cells enter the hollow tube, in
which they can scarcely move, and cannot
turn themselves, and are consequently
taken captive. The bamboos are taken up
every morning, and the eel, which holds
on very firmly to the interior, is pulled out
by means of a strong hook.

Poetry.
LEFT ALONE AT EIGHTY,

What did you say, dear-breakfast?
Somehow I've slept too late,
You are very kind, dear Ef1ie-
To tell them not to wait.
I'll dress as quick as ever cam
My poor hands tremble sore,
Aunt Polly, who used to help, dear heart,
Lies t'other side o. the door.
Put up the old pipe, deary,
couldn't smoke to day,
I'm sort o dazed and frightened,
And don't know what to say.
It's lonesome in the house here,
And lonesome out O. door
Inever knew what lonesome meant,
In all my life before.
The bees go humming the whole day long,
And the first June rose has blown
And Pm eighty, dear Lord, to-day
Too old to be left alone!
o heart of love, so still and cold!
Oprecious lips so white!
For the first sad hours in sixty years,
You were out Of my sight last night,
You've cut the flower; you're very kind.
She rooted it last May;
1t was only slip; pulled the rose,
And threw the stem away:
But she, sweet, thrifty soul, bent down.
And planted it where she stood;
"Dear, maybe the flowers are living" size saId,
ASLEEP in this bit of wood''
Ican'trest, deary-I cannot rest;
Let the old man rest at will,
And wander from porch to garden post
The house is so deathly still:
Wander and long for a sight at the gate
She has left ajar for ME,
We had got so used to each other, dear,
So used to each other, you see.
Sixty years, and so wise and good.
She made me better man
From the moment I kissed her fair, young face.
And our lovers life began,
And seven fine boys she had given me,
And out of the seven, not one
But the nobest father in all the land
Would be proud to call his son.
All, well, dear Lord, I'll be patient,
But feel so broken up:
At eighty years it's an awesome thing
To drain such a bitter cup.
I know there's Joseph, aud John, and Hal,
And four good men beside,
But a hundred sons couldn' 1T be to me
Like the woman made my BRIDE
My little Polly, so bright and fair
Sowinsome, and good and sweet,
She had roses twined in her sunny hair,
White shoes on her dainty feet.
And held her hand-was it yesterday
That we stood up to be wed?
And-no, remember, Pm eighty to-day,
And my dear wife, Polly, is dead
Baptist Wee ekly.

MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES.
Sir Walter Scott, in a narrative of his
personal history, gives the following eau
ton:
eff it should ever fall to the lot of youth
to peruse these pages, let such readers re-
member that it is with the deepest regret
that | recollect in my manhood the oppor-
tunities of learning which I neglected in
my youth; that through every part of my
literary care have felt pinched and ham,
pered by my own ignorance; and I would
this moment give half of the reputation
have had the good fortune to acquire, if by
so doing | could rest the remaining part
upon a sound foundation of learning and
science"

GOOSE ON MICHAELMAs DAY.-Queen
Elizabeth, on her way to Tilbury Fort, on
Goth Sept, 1889, dined at the ancient seat
of Sir Neville Umfrieville, near that place;
and as British Bess had much rather dine
off high-seasoned and substantial dish
than simple fricasee or ragout, the knight
thought proper to provide a brace Of fine
geese, to suit the palate of his royal guest.
After the queen had dined heartily, she
asked for a half pint bumper of burgundy,
and drank obstruction to the Spanish
Armada
She had but that moment returned the
glass to the knight who had done the hon
ors of the table, when the news came las if
the queen had been possessed with the
spirit of prophecy that the Spanish fleet
had been destroyed by a storm. She i'm
mediately took another bumper, in order
to digest the geese and good news, and
was so much pleased with the event that
every year after, on that day, she had the
above excellent dish served up. The court
made it custom, and the people the fash
ion, ever since.

Doctors Make Drumkard..

s'Doctor, you have desolated my home,
wrecked my happiness, and beggared my
children"
The distinguished physician to whom
these words were addressed stood amazed
and COMPOUNDED. With character above
reproach, and a consciousness of strict
| honor and integrity, he could not see how
the accusation was applicable to him. For
! d moment he believed the woman to be
crazed or demented; but as she turned and
! left him, the expression of her care-worE,
sorroWful face brought slowly to his mind
the meaning of her words; and he remem-
bered that he had indeed, unwillingly, and
while intending good, done her an ire
parable wrong. A few years previous dis
ease had fastened upon the system Of her
husband, and the kind family physician
had prescribed whiskey; and there began
the downfall of a once upright, exemplary
man. From few spoonfuls of weak toddy,
the proportion was gradually increased;
| then it was made stronger. and on and on
he went, his burning thirst growing insa-
table, and his love of whisky greater than
/ that for wife and children.
| 1t is a hard heart indeed that is not
moved with pity at sight of a once good
and noble man wrecked and ruined by this
terrible destroyer. Who can censure that
unhappy woman for reproaching the man
she had trusted with her husbands life,
when he gave it back to her foul and dis
torted? Better a thousand times, would
it have been had he sunk into his grave be-
fore the accursed cup was presented to his
lips; for, though keen the anguish of wife
and children, it would have been soothed
by the remembrance of pure, unsullied
life.
None but those whohave Waded through
this black slough of despair can imagine
the bitter grief of such as have seen the
noble life Of a loved one turned into foul
blot-a miserable outcast, loathed and de-
tested by all.
Doctors are the unintentional cause of
more mischief in this way than can easily
be imagined. Would that every member
of the profession could be induced to fol-
low the example of the one in this little
story. Filled with remorse for what he
had done, he vowed meyer again to admin
lister whiskey as a medicine under any cir
cumStanceS.

of all women, "Let our loved ones die of
