Nelson's Appreciation of Himself.

The murder of Prince Caracciolo and all the other bad doings at Naples may be traced directly to his infatuation for Lady Hamilton. And whence did that infatuation arise? It has been ascer- tained that Nelson gradually became estranged from his wife because she did not take enough interest in his career, and seemed hardly to know that her husband was the idolized hero of the nation. If so, it was grievous fault, and the result, with man of Nelson's temperament. might have been easily foreseen. My dear, great glorious Nelson," if we remember aright, was the style in which the wife of cabinet minister who can scarcely have been personally acquainted with the admiral wrote to congratulate him upon the victory of the Nile. Lady Hamilton
 was even more demonstrative, and Nell son took naive almost child-like pleas ure in being made much of, and called "great and glorious'' to his face. He had done great things, and was not

ssThRt LeefIo Tim. .''

The boy with the basket of apples was half an hour late, for the first time in six months, and when he came in he was without his basket, and his eyes were red and swollen. He's been such straight, square boy, that he has many friends on this corner, and he was at once asked if the bootblacks had been robbing him.
 "No, not that" he said, "but don't you remember that 'Leetle 1im,' who came here once in 8 while with me?"
 '.Little Tim? Yes - he is your brother"
 ''That's what he was, and I was breaking him to sell apples and make change. We'll, little Tim is dead! | ssNo?"
 "Yes. When woke up at daylight this morning he was cuddled up to my back, cold and deadI The Lord took him in the night, sir, and wasn't it aw- full, sir, that I wasn't awake to put my arms over him, and hug his little head up under my chimp
 "It's too bad-too bad.'
 "It's awful on us all, sir. Fathers sitting in corner, crying like child ; mothers weeping and wailing, and the children are smoothing little Tim's curls and calling on him to wake up ! That's why haven't brought the apples, sir, and that's why won't be here for two or three days. We've got to bury leetle Tim, we have, and I don't see how we can ever gather around the stove again of an evening and he living in a graveyard! Pm big sir, but can't help crying, and father can't help but cry, and I wish-I'-
 And may the Lord seat little Tim at His right hand and give him a crown of glory.

 Imean 8 river with shore! Romantic Erin's sea-girt land!
 How sweet with one you love the most To watch the cocks upon the roost- I mean the rocks upon the coast! 'Twere sweet at moonlight's mystic hour To wander forth were few frequent, And come upon tipsy gent
 No! mol mean 8 gipsy tent In that retirement lone would
 Pursue some rustic industry, And make myself boiling tea No no!-I mean toiling bee.

Why Printers Die Young,

A writer fully accounts for the reason why printers die young, and why they are continually tramping from place to place in search of peace and quietude. He says that working for forty editors and scores of authors, every one of whom is as sensitive as sore thumb, and as lively and as interesting as a hornet, no wonder the printers die young, and only pachydermatous, griz- zly, mulish specimens, get their share of life. The writer wishes he could offer himself as an awful example of the perils which environ the man who meddles with cold-type. A thoroughly trained printer should have a step- mother, and then stepfather, and then should have been bound out to a tanner, and then have married a scolding wife, and lived in smoky house, and have had family of babies who were afflicted with the collie. He should have added to all this discipline thorough knowl- edge of science and law, languages, theology, history and biography. If in addition he has vicious-looking coun- tenance and an amiable disposition he may stand some chance with these authors and editors; but, the probabfli- ties are, after all, that they will worry him to death. This picture will have g very depressing effect upon ambitious boys who are anxious to learn the s'art preservative of all arts" The picture however, is a tolerably correct one.- | Elnaird Aduertiser.

A Tete.a.Tete Game.

We have frequently been much amused by the following game of ques- tions and answers, which, when played upon one as yet uninitiated into the mysteries, is well calculated to afford endless laughter. A lady may be sup posed to request gentlemen to write down this list:
 Set down lady's name. Set down some time past. Write the name of a place. Write either yes or no. Yes or no again. A lady's name. Some time to come. Yes or no. Yes or no again. Name of city'or town. Some color. Any number not exceeding six. Some color. Yes or no. A lady's name. A gentleman's name. Another gentle mans name. Still another gentleman 8 name. Name of clergyman. A sum of money. Name of 8 place. Any number at all. Some color. Any number not exceeding forty.
 When these conditions have been complied with the gentleman is re- quested to read of the list thus prepared as answers to the following series of questions:
 To whom did you make your first offer? When? In what place? Does she love youP Did you love her? Whom will you marryp How soon? Does she love youP Do you love her? Where does she reside? What is the color of her hairP What is her heightP What is the color of her eyesp Is she pretty ! Who is to be the bridesmaid? Who is to be groomsman Who is your confi- dantP Who is your rival? What clergy man is to marry youP How much is she worth2 Where will you resideP How many servants will you keep9 What k her color? How large family do you wish to raiser

Mrs.. GOMlN.

In relation to this lady the St. Louis
Republican says: Although there were
thousands to mourn for poor Gouley and to
follow his remains to the grave, the one
compared with whose love for him all other
love was as nothing, was not there to wit
ness this grand tribute to his memory.
Stricken almost to death by the blow
which she sustained In her loss, she has
never since been able to arise from her bed
nor has her broken mind regained it's
rational condition. From DR.. j. L. Stevens,
who is attending her, the reporter learned
last night that although her life is not
now despaircd of her recovery is very slow
and 1t will be some time before she can
accompany her husbands remains back to
her home.
The St. Louis Republican, from which
this is copied, and which is one of the
grea.est papers in the West, contains three
columns, descriptive of the ceremonies and
account Of the speeches when the body left
for Wilmington. All 81. Louis was in the
streets. A grand prayer was delivered by
the Rev. r. A. Holland, and an eloquent
and lengthy address by N. w. Xenophor
Ryland, Grand Master of the Masons OF
Missouri, also by John Goodwin, P. NJ. 1t
Was one of the grandest and most melan~
choly sights ever seen there.
