WIDE AWAKE for April gives three
graceful contributions to Easter liter
ature. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps con-
tributes one of her finest poems, and
Miss Farman has funny piece of
verse entitled "Mamm's Spring
Story"
The long stories OF the number are
evidently designed to captivate the
boys, being THE First Hunt" by
J. II. Woodbury., and "That Night at
Lower Eddy" by G. NJ. S. Horton
Of the ", " 7ribGae. Little Sprig-
gins Brother will delight the small
or boys, and also their little sisters.
"Quinnebasset Girls" the serial by
Sophie May decpens in interest, and
Good for Nothing Polly" the hero
Of Miss Farmaa's, serial never so in
teresting as now, promises to the dis
Appointment of thousands of readers,
old and young, to close his adventures
in the next number. The Fourth

paul' in which lie loses his dinner
is capital. Mrs. Helen Tracy Myers
gives valuable paper relative to
sweeping the Carpet" which we
commend to all house-keepers.
But the chief feature TO the little
boys and girls all over the country,
| subscribers and non-subscribers to

pany, at Upton, came to Davenport
| last Saturday, and concluded that he
was the most astonished man in the
| United States. His wife and mother
in-law occupied a house on bridge
asenue-he came to town with them
last fall-and when he left them in
February both kissed him and hoped
he would be back soon. Full of hus-
bands anticipations he arrived tn.
morning OF the day mentioned, after
| an absence of two or three weeks
Nobody was at home. In fact the
| house seemed vacant. 1t did not take
this loving husband more than an
hour to ascertain that his wife had
departed for parts unknown-gon OF
| in "a huff, rs it were. On Friday she
| had sold part vi the furniture nj a See
| ond hand store, taken the most costly
| articles to the {. X. /. d =. depot and
shipped for Gailipolis. Ohio. and de-
| parted the same night, with her moth
err, for that same town. Mr.. HUI
| thinks that that is no way to treat u
husband and son-in-law, and puts the
blame of his loneliness in his mother
in-law. He believes that this is Il
| wicked world.
The above is from last week Wed
nesday's Davenport Gasetie. The In
dividual referred to, who by the way,
spells his name Frank H-o-u-g-h,
| came to Upton when he left Daven-
port, and in company with a Mr.. Clark
who is now here, took hold OF the To-
cal agency Of the American Machine
And Clark represents that when
Hough left here to return to Davcn-
port, as above indicated, it was after
| disposing Of some OF his CLARK 81
property in II wicked and fe,onious
manner, and that his continued alb
sence deprives the said Clark of a
horse which Hough took with him to
assist in moving his family to Upton.
That mother-in-law is evidently re-
sponsibic for horse and all.
