A Miserakle MaM.

Next to a bull in china shop. the
most interesting object to contemplate
is man in a dry goods store waiting
for his wife to get through with shop
ping. Seeing her balance gracefully
on one of the revolving stools at the
counter he essays the same feat, and
only saves himself from sprawling on
the floor by clutching at what he calls
the "sideboard." Then he follows her
to the next department, steps twice
on her best silk dress, and falls over a
small rash boy, almost grinding him
tn powder; then he tries to look I'M
concerned while hi, wife smiles sweetly
on a good looking clerk with his hair
parted in the middle, but when she
mildly suggests to him that he may
take the elevator To the fourth story,
and ask Miss Shawson, the dressniaker,
which would look best on her new
elephants breath silk-vegetable ivory
buttons or centennial buckhorn-
then he starts for the door end makes
good time getting home. And now
he has hal enough of shopping to sat
isfy him a lifetime. while his wife
says she is thankful he knows what
her trials are.

The way to get credit is TO be pune
tual; the way to preserve it is not to
use il much.
Settle often; have short accounts.
Trust no mans appearance; appear
snce is deccitful. perhaps assumed for
the purpose Of obtaining credit.
Beware Of gaudy exterior rougbs
usually dress well. The rich are plain;
trust him, if anyone, who carries but
little on his back.
Never trust him who flies into a
passion on being dunned, but make
him pay quickly, IL there is any vir-
ture in the law.
Whenever you meet a man who is
profoundly fond Of argument, you
will meet one profoundly ignorant OF
the operation Of the human heart.
Mind your own affairs; let all the
errors you see in Others management
suggest correction in your own.

The habitual use Of celery is more
beneficial to us than is commonly sup.
posed. A writer, who is familiar with
its virtues, says: l have known many
men, and women, too, who, from va
rious causes. had become so much af-
fected by nervousness that when they
stretched out their hands they shook
like aspen leaves on windy days, and
by a moderate daily Use Of the blanch-
ed footstalks of celery rs salad. they
became us strong and steady in limb
as other people. have known some SO
nervous that the least annoyance put
them in a state Of agitation, and they
were in constant perplexity aud fear,
who were also eficctuaily cured by a
moderate daily use Of blanched celery
as salad at meal time. l have known
others cured Of palpitation Of the
heart. Every one engaged in work
weakening to the nerves should Use
celery daily in the season, and onions
in its stead when not in season.

This wonderful grass. hitherto al.

great advantage it has Is that not n

ing another poisorous draught.
Ere the arrival Of her mother and
physicians, she was unconscious. and
beyond the power of speech. The ut
most efi;rts were made tn saw, her
life. asd though pronounced hopeless
by physicians, the mothers hope and
trust permitted no relaxation CT ef
fort. After eighteen hours lingering
between life and death, she rallied.
She lived, but was very feeble, and
blamed her friends fr saving q
"worthless life From the facts gath
cred, 1t seems that she was deluded by
mock marriage with a villainous
scoundrel, who, through her impru-
dcncc in making his acquaintance,
gained a potent, magnetic influence
over her. under which she became 50
infatuated that she fed from home
and all its tender associations and
placed herself in bis diabolical power.
The train that bore her from hap
nv home. a bright and joyous girl,
four weeks later bore her back a de-
serted wife. Her betrayer, when
ready to desert her. with the audacity
and heartlessncss Of demon, told her
Of his deception-that he had wife
and family. To GIL the measure Of
his villiny, and to overflow her alrea-
dy full cup Of misery, he tore from
her, her jewels. all her valuablcs. and
left her pcnnilcss, "a stranger in a
strange land" to find her way as best
she could TO home and friends.
Wholly overcome with grief and
shame, she resolved to end her wretch.
ed life, but by that uncomfortable in
stInct 30 natural to humanity. she
wanted to die among friends, and &C.
cordingly returned to the city of her
happy home. Still she could not sum
mon courage to meet the parents she
had 80 cruelty deserted, and would in
all probability have died. had not her
friends so provilentially found her and
rescued her from death.

The Detroit postmaster knew that
something would happen it he had to
run his office by tallow candle power,
and something has. In the dim light
afforded by candle one Of the dis
tributors put letter intended for Mrs.
Somebody into Mr.. Somebody's box.
The husband opened is, found the
photograph OF a young man with his
hair parted in the middle, and letter
starting Off with.

Is the old hunk going TO Chicago this
week. as he intended?"
The "old hunk" went out of the
Office in three jumps. and he beat the
street-car three blocks in getting home.
There may be divorce, a scandal and
some shooting, aud all because a tallow
candle began to blink and wink and
sputter just at a critical moment.

A lady in this city, says the Mar
quette Journal. suspected that her
husband was in the habit of kissing
Katy, the cook, and resolved to detect
him in the act. After watching for
days she heard him pass quietly through
into the kitchen. Now Katy was out
that evening and the kitchen was
dark. Burning with jealousy the
wife took some matches in her hand
and hastily placed her shawl over her
head, as Katy sometimes did, entered
the kitchen by the back door, and was
almost Immediately sliced and embrac-
ed in the most ardent manner. With
her heart almost bursting with rage
and jealousy, the injured wife prepared
to administer terrible rebuke to her
falthless spouse. Tearing herself
from his foul embrace, she struck a
match, and stood face to face with
the hired man. Her husband says
his wife has never treated him as well
since the first month they were married
as she has for the past few days.

TnE Changers of Robertson county,
Tennessee, have devised plan where
by they will be enabled to put upon
the market all the surplus stuck they
may have for sale. The plan is pub
lie auction commencing on the first
Monday in each month. The owner
of whatever is offered for sale apprais-
es its value, and if it fails TO bring the
amount demanded he can retain or let
1t go, as he may determine. This
plan or a similar one in every county
in the Southern States might prove of
great convenience. il not advantage, to
all the people. We invite the con-
sideraiion its Importance demands.

emulation it necessarily produces, that
