No woman will love o man the bet
ter for being renowned or prominent,
Though he be first among men, she
will be prouder, not fonder; as it is
often the case. she will not even be
proud. But give her love, apprecia-
ton, kindness, and there is no sacri-
fee she would not make for his con-
tent and comfort. The man who loves
her well, is her hero and king. No
less hero to her, though he is not to
any other; no less king, though his
only kingdom is her heart and bone.
1t is a mans own fault if he is unhap-
py with his wife, in nine cases out of
ten. 1t isa very exceptional woman
who will not be agreeable to an atten-
tive husband, and very exceptional
one who will not be very disagreeable
il she find herself willfully neglected.
1t would be easy to hate man, who,
having bound woman to him, made
no effort to make her happy; hard not
to love one who is constant and ten
der, and when a woman loves she al
ways strives to please. The great men
of this world have always been wretch
ed in their domestic relations, while
mean and common men have been ex-
ceedingly happy. The reason is very
plain. Absorbed in themselves those
who desire the worlds applause were
careless of the little world at home,
while those who had none of this ego
tism strove to keep the hearts that
we're their own and were happy in
their tenderness.

ted, a stick that woull break Mr.. Durham's
back, and lose the district TO the Demo-
cratic party. This subject is being treated
as a matter Of no weight by many Of
Judge Durhams admirers and frierds, but
with such an accusation in the hands Of a
popular and able Republican opponent, is
il not wise for us 10 at least consider the
possibilities, yea, the probabilities Of defeat,
rccollecting that III. Democratic majority

seventeen hundred majority in form er
race, to six hundred, where Mr.. Durham

no doubt, be the opposing candidate Of the

paign.

Durham, not as one who has ever been OPP

failing to act in this matter, he has rsnder-
ed himself, as we think. incapable Of run

In our day, both married and single
persons live too fast. A bachelor now
has need of an income such as would
once have satisfied man with fami.
ly; and the husband and father re-
quires for his single household, the
means that twenty years ago. would
have supported two families, if moi
three. Daughters are sent to fashion,
able schools, at an enormous cost,
there to learn extravaganza, and, in
short, become fitted for any thing bui
to become the wives of poor men.
Sons are ruined with unlimited pocket
money, late hours, and almost total
absence of paternal control. Thus We
not only waste our estate, but perpet'
uate the vice in our children. In ev.
cry way we are living too fast.

In the main corridor of the Memo
rial Buildings annex, where the most
casual visitors are not likely to miss
it, a wax figure of Cleopatra is dis
played. She reclines upon a sort Of
throne, and is almost naked. The
workmanship is of the best and the
effect startling. The flesh tint is nat
ural, the hair lifc-like, and every de-
tail carefully done. Interior clock
work heaves her bare bosom, moves
her arms at intervals, stirs her legs,
turns her head languidly from side to
side, and rolls her eyes. Her face and
form are beautiful, and the accessories
are in artistic harmony with concep-
ton of the Egyptian Queen; yet the
features are not Egyptian, being rath-
er those of beautiful French woman.
An Ethiopian slave, equally nude,
stands at her side and fans her. At
her feet lies a naked little boy. A
bird futters ON the arm Of her seat. A
golden canopy hangs above the group,
all being enclosed in a glass case. The
whole is surprisingly natural, so much
so, that it has natural effect upon
the spectators. Young girls come
suddenly upon it and draw back ap-
palled. They have nerved themselves
to look at the statuary and pictures,
but this sight is too unexpected and
realistic to be borne with steadiness.
They escape without delay. Women
inspect the group shyly. Men are
not to be scared away by any feeling
of modesty, and, unless escOrting sis
ters or sweethearts, stay on the spot in
numbers sufficient to constantly crowd
that part of the corridor.

Edgar Poe, the poet, died at the age
Of forty, really starved out. II is not
a thing that Americans can think of
with satisfaction, that the finest works
Of imagination their country has pro-
duced--the tales Of Hawthorne and
Poe-never brought their authors half
as much money ss an inferior reporter
on a provincial paper now gets. For
"rhe Raven" Poe received ten dollars.
These stories, which would bring al
most any sum from u magazine, were
carried about for days and sometimes
weeks by the shivering dinnerless au-
thor, while his beloved wife was dying
on a spread Of straw-to find a pub
Usher willing to pay the merest pit
tance for them. As for Poe, history
records as his two great faults, a ten
dency to drink and way of borrow
ing money, which was never repaid.
He was, however, sauguiue Of being
able to repay when he borrowed.
However, it must be said that those
who could have presented any claims
ou Poe's assets (s) for money lent were
people who had built up magazines
and fortunes on his brains, giving him
in some cases about FIVE hundred dol
lars per annum for nearly three hun
dred and sixty-fve days and nights Of
actual toll. Poe was a very hand
some man, with an almost efieminate
beauty about the mouth and chin, and
a superb head and forehead he was
also a perfectly accomplished elocu.
ZIONIST, and if he lived now would be
the lyceum's ace Of trumps.
