In THE SICK RooM.-A want Of sym.
pathy on the part of nurse is like per-
petual cold bath to a patient. This is
not a very common blunder. But the
opposite is so common, that it may some
times become question in the patients
mind whether he would not prefer abso-
lutte coldness. TO be continually dodg.
ing around the bed, and pouncing upon
every object that is not at right angles,
smoothing out the sheet, and dabbing at
the pillows, and saying dozen times an
hour: GLOW do you feel now 2" Don't
you want something to eat?" "Can I do
anything for you?" "Let me bathe
your head w--is enough to drive sick
man wild. He feels that he would like
to ask you to go away and hold your
tongue; but he knows that all this fidget-
ing is prompted by affection, so he holds
his tongue instead, and bears it all with
what measure of patience nature has be-
slowed upon him. In point of fact, the
sick person is generally very ready to tell
his wants. His food and drink and phys
ic are the momentous matters of the day
to him, and will not be forgotten. He is
likely to tell you when he feels better.
He is sure to tell you when he feels
worse.
Worse than all these things is the SOL
emn face in sick room. 1t is hard for a
troubled heart to put on cheerful coun-
tenance, and it is no wonder that nurses
so often fail in this. But we have known
persons who thought that cheerful face
and bright smile in sick room we're
indications of a hard heart.-Scribner.

effect that the parson had been seen, in
his green dressing gown and night-cap,
carrying heavy sack from the wood near
by into the garden. The chain of evi-
dence was apparently complete against
Soren; and the poor parson now sealed
his own fate by declaring that he be-
lieved he had killed Niels, though uncon-
sciously. He stated that he was wont to
walk in his sleep. He had found texts,
written sermons and visited his church in
a state of somnambulism. He must,
therefore, have found the man dead in
the wood while thus unconscious, and
have buried him while in this condition.
To be brief, Soren was found guilty and
executed.
Twenty years after, Niels Bruins turned
up again, alive and well, grown now
old and gray. He recounted how his
brother Morten (now dead) had concocted
a plot to fasten the crime of murder on
the pastor, in revenge for the rejection Of
his suit. A body had been disinterred
and dressed in Niel's clothes the dress
ing gown and night-cap had been alb
stracted, used as we have seen, and re-
placed; Morten, dressed in them, had
brought the corpse in the sack, and
buried it in the garden; and then, his
plot carried out, he had given Niels a
purse and bid him begone; and not to
return, or his life should answer for it.
Niels had kept out of the way till Nor
tens death, and had now returned with
this terrible tale.

The Modern Husband.

AS if in response to many wives who
think the modern husband is degenerate,
we reprint the subjoined sketch, which,
let us hope, is q fair average illustration
of the great original;
He is not unsympathetic and hard.
His business tends to make him sUn1e-
what harsh and rough. Contact with the
world rubs the poetic bloom from his
mind and dries his sentiments, and units
his tongue for the utterance of the sweet
and dainty nothings which occupy so
large place in the vocabulary Of wo-
mans expectations. He is decidedly
matter of fact. He takes great deal
for granted, and wants his wife to assume
something, and not look for vain repeti-
tions when words are worth 80 much.
The wear and tear of life tell on his
nerves and sensibilities, and take the SEN
timent, the poetry, the gallantry, out of
him, insensibly but effectually, and he
appears indifferent without knowing it.
He is absorbed in his business plans and
cannot pretend to the least enthusiasm in
his wife2s rufles and laces and lawns, and
his enjoyment of her new set of jewels is
materially abated by the prospective raid
upon his bank account In modern life
diferentiations are vastly greater than
in the old days, when husband and wife
worked together behind the counter or
on the farm, each understanding the Ia
Dor of the other, and joining as a true
yokefellow in drawing the mutual load.
The modern husband does not wear his
wife out by working her too hard. She
neither weaves nor spins, and the tailor
makes his coat.if he does not sew on his
shirt buttons. He treats his wife more
as companion than as a drudge. He
takes pride in her wit, enjoys her sing
ing, admires her taste, and is pleased with
the society she draws around their fire.
side. The cd ardor is not utterly gone,
though it no longer flashes into exclama-
tions of endearment; and it only needs
the breath of a real occasion to blow
what seemed the dead embers ofaffection
into brilliant fame. Scarcely day
passes that we do not hear of some beau
tiful instance of devotion and self-sacri-
flee on the part of those whom it is too
much the fashion to ridicule for selfish
ness, and accuse of infdelity. The
steady toll and devotion of lifetime are
thousand times more precious than gal
liant protestations, and the husbands who
stood with folded arms on the deck
of the sinking steamship, choosing
to 60 down in death with their wives
rather than escape and leave them to
their fate, illustrate in picturesque and
thrilling way what thousands of modern
husbands are doing every day.

ROMANCE OF A RING.-Some time ago
a wealthy young gentleman of Washing
ton was engaged to be married to beau
tiful belle Of Morgantown, of this State,
and brilliant Society wedding" was
looked forward to by the friends Of both
parties, particularly the young lady init
mates of the prospective bride. But the
course of true love was true to the prov
erb about true love in general, and about
a month ago the engagement was broken
of, how or why does not concern this
story, though the whole affair may posi-
bly, be rudely dragged before the public
by unromantic lawyers, and for no fault
unless carelessness is crime-of either
of the parties. Of course, her engage
ment broken, the young lady quickly
sent back her ring, and the quickest way
she could think of was by mail, so by
mail it went-that is, it started from
Morgantown, but never reached Wash
ington. The gentleman made no inqui-
ries about it, and but for train of events
that couldn't possibly have been arranged
by chance, might have gone on thinking
that his former fancee was mercenary
enough to hold on to the magnificent
ring that had been token of her loyalty
to him. But the mysterious destiny that
shapes our ends ordered it otherwise. A
few weeks ago one of the Morgantown
young lady's friends saw the ring on the
hand of a lady in the same town, who
was not acquainted with the frst-named,
and consequently did not know the ring
nor its history. Investigation was at
once begun, and few days time and
very little trouble traced the ring to
clerk in the Fairmont post-ofice, who, it
is alleged, had stolen it from the mail,
loaned it to q gentleman friend at Man
nington, who made it do duty as an en-
gagement ring for his fancee in Morgan
town! The Fairmont post-office clerk
was arrested by the government officials,
and will be tried in the United States
District Court at Parkersburg soma time
during this month. To the trial of the
post-ofice clerk will be summoned the
young lady who "sent back the ring"
and possibly all parties connected with it,
including the Warrington gentleman
and his fancee. Should the question of
the ownership of the ring come up, it will
prove knotty one. To whom does or
did the ring belong at the time of its
loss? The case will be an interesting
one at all events, and highly so if it
should be necessary to prove the owner

The second axiom laid down is:

able to put millions into his pockets
while eerving the interests Of rail-
way companies.
The third chapter is headed "Ru-

! discussion of the nine rules essential
to perfect success in the manage
ment Of railway rings. The charac-
ter of these rules may be gathered
from the following:
"Rule 9th. That Ring will OBJ
