A House of Our Own.

Next to being married to the
right person, there is nothing so
important in ones life as to live
under ones own roof. There is
something more than poetical
charm in the expression of wife
writing to a friend, who said:
"We have our cozy house; it is
thrice dear to US because it is our
own. We have bought it with
the savings OF our earnings.
Many were the soda fountains,
the confectionery sal l9ons, and the
nece Ssaries of market we had to
pass, many a time my noble hus-
band denied himself of the com
fort of tobacco, the refreshing
draught of beer, wore lis old
clothes and even patched up boots;
and |, oh, me! made my old bon.
net do, wore the plainest clothes,
and did the plainest cooking.
Saving was the order Of the house,
and to have a home of our own
has been our united aim. Now
we have it. There is no landlord
troubling US with raising the rent
and eXacting this or that. There
is no fear harbored in our bosom
that in sickness or old age we
will be thown out of bouss and
home, and the money which 9TH
erwlse would have gone to pay
rent is sufficient to keep comfort
in the winter days of Iife."

trips they probably took an i'm
preston of the seals, and had a
stamp made like it. They then
fixed up the false box, and,
watching their chance, they
somewhere, on that run, substi-
tuted it for one of the real ones"
"What became of the messen-
gerp, we inquired. "That's
what got us" said our entertain

any guilt or completely with the
Others upon him, and yet we
were obliged to discharge him
for his want of attention, and,
at least criminal carelessness.
And that's how the great $780,
O0O robbery occurred, that's
how we hunted the robbers, and
that's all l know about it," said
the old expressman, as, throw
ing away his cigar, bouncing
from his seat, he began nerv-
ously pacing up and down the
room.
And now, kind reader, you
have it before you just as he re-
lated it.

Quarreling.

If there is anything in the world
that will make a boy feel badly,
except pinching his fingers in the
crack Of a door, it unqnestionably
is quarrel. No boy ever fails to
think less Of himself after it than
before. WHAT'S worse,it blunts his
senslbilitjes on the one hand, and
increases the power OF passionate
irritability on the other. The
truth is, the more peaceably we
geton, the better for our neigh
bors. In nine cases Out of ten,
the best course is, if a man cheats
you, cease to deal with him; if be
is abusive quit his company, and
pay no attention to him, for it is
very true ''that ifa person throws
salt at you, if you have no sore
places it will not smart" and ii he
ISLANDERS you, take care to live so
that no one will beiete him. No
matter who be is, or how he mis-
uses you, the wisest course is moth.

quiet way of dealing with the
wrong we meet.

A Social Curiosity on
Long Island.
From the BROOKLYN Eagle.

Long Island produces an exam
pie of rare resignation on the part
of a husband and father. In 1859,
Raynor Burcham, of the village
of Freeport, married Miss Ellen
Smith, of Merrick. Raynor had
considerable money. he is not so
well off now by several thousand
dollars. He is a shoemaker by
trade. For FIVE years they lived
happily, and two children were
born to them. About FIVE years
ego Mrs. Burcham conceived a
sudden liking for a young man
named "Jimsey" Smith, and was
often seen in his company, "Jim.
sey" grew passiOnately fond of Ell
len. Ellen invited him to her
home, and her legal husband found
no favor in her eyes thereafter
"Jimsey" was thenceforth a hus-
band to her, and Burcham had
quarters assigned him in the gar
ret. He did not Object, end OF
course no one else did. Things
went on swimmingly, Burcham,
without a murmur, supported the
usurper of his place in the home.
Ellen and her paramour tired of
the monotony OF Merrick, removed
to Hampstead, taking from Burch.
am such articles as they thought
necessary for the establishment
of Glove of a home" in that viii
lage. Smith, however, did not
find work congenial to his taste.
They returned to Burcham's home
at Merrick, and were made well
come by him, but "Jimsey" sud
denly di,appsared, and was gone
for several months. During his
absence Ellen and Burcham renew.
ed their vows; were remarked by |
Justice of the Peace, and happy.
Suddenly "Jimsey" returned. !
Then Burcham had to revacate
his marital couch and betake him |
self to the garrett. From that time
to the present the three have liv.
ed together. There Is no evidence
of discord observed by The neigh !
bors. They eat at the same taLlc,
and often go out together.

The Facts in the Oregon
Case.

1t is we'll enough to bear the
facts in the Oregon case distinct
/ ly in mind. Watts, the Rcpub-
lican, whom Gov. Grover re-
fused to recognize, was post
master and Republican candi-
date for elector. The two posi-
tions were incompatible. Post
masters are not eligible = that is,
not capable of being elected to
the electoral office.
after the election, Watts,
believing that he had been cho-
sen, resigned the postmaster
ship. This, however, did not
mend the matter, and the other
two Republican electors recog-
nized its defect by forcing him
to resign his pretended position
as elector also, then choosing
him to fill the vacancy. Watts
title to the position therefore
rests not on his having been
elected by the people, for the
pretended reelection of him by
his coadjutors is an admission
that he was not and could not
be elected by the people, but on
this pretended election Of him
by his coadjutors. But this IL
tie is worthless, for two electors
have no right to choose another
elector from the beginning.
They may fill vacancy caused
by the death or absence Of an
elector whom the people have
chosen, but they can not choose
an original elector; that is a
popular function, and no power
can perform it but the people
themselves. If, therefore, Cron-
in, recognized by the governor,
was not one of the three law
ful Oregon electors, there were
only two chosen-and so Hayes
fails Of the single vote that he
depends on for his election.
