A WIS F WORD.

Do not jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember
she treasures every word you utter.
Do not speak of the great virtues in
another mans wife to remind yours
of fault. Do not reproach your wife
with personal defects, for if she has
sensibility you inflict wound difficult
to heal. Do not treat your wife with
inattention in company it touches her
pride, and she will not respect you
more Or love you better for it. Do not
upbraid your wife in the presence Of
third party the sense of your dlsre-
gard for her feelings will prevent her
from acknowledging her fault. Do
not entertain your wife by praising the
beauty aud accomplishments of other
women. If you would have a pleas
ant home and cheerful wife,. pass
your evenings under your own root.
Do not be stern in yonr own house,
and remarkable for sociability else
where.

STRANGE REAPPEARANCE OF A MAN
AFTER AN HSENCE EOFTWENTY-SIX
YEARS.

The village OF Bainbridge, Ross
comfy, Ohio, has had Il sensation of
large size. Twenty-six years ago, Job
Pearce, merchant of that town, start
ed East to purchase stock of goods.
He did not return, and search was
made for him everywhere, and after a
considerable lapse Of time, the unre-
cognizable remains OF man were
found in Pcnnsylvania, along the route
Pearce was supposed to have Travelled.
The body not being claimed by any
one else il was supposed to be that OF
Mr.. Pearce, who, it was thought, had
been murdered for his money, of
which he had consid dcrable. At all
events he was given up for dead, and
his estate was administered upon by
an administrator. Matters ran along
as usual, his children marrying and
being given in marriage, and his wild
ow dying about eight years since.
Last Friday night, ht,howeverBainbridge
was astounded by the sudden and un-
announced temperance of Mr.Pearce'
who was looked upon as one risen
from the grave. He left the place a
business man in the prime of life and
returns an old man. He is reticent as
to his Whereabouts during his long
absence. The indications are that he
returns in comfortable circumstances
financially.

CLOVES,

Cloves are unopened flowers of
small evergreen tree that resembles in
appearance the laurel of the bay. 1t
is the native of the Molucca, or Spice
Islands, but has been carried to all the
warmer parts Of the world, and is
largely cultivated in the tropical re-
gious of America. The flowers are
small in size, and grow in large num-
bers in clusters at the very end of the
branches. The cloves we use are
flowers gathered before they are op-
ened, and whilst they are still green.
After being gathered these are smoked
by wood fire and then dried in the
sun. Each consists of two parts a
round head, which is the four petals
or leaves of the flowers rolled up, in
closing q number of stocks or fila
ments. The other part of the Glove
is terminated with four points, and is.
in fact, the flower cup and the unripe
seed vessel. All these parts may be
distinctly shown, if a few leaves are
soaked short time in hot water, when
the leaves soften and readily unroll
The smell of cloves is strong and aro-
matte, but not unpleasant. Their
taste is pungent, acrid, and lasting.
Both the taste and smell depend upon
the quantity of oil they contain. Some
times the oil is separated from the
cloves before they are sold, and the
oder and taste in consequence is much
weakened by this proceeding.

HE HAD HIS NAME IN THE PAPER.

Oh, no, man don't like to have his
name in printl 1t never flatters his
vanity at all! The other day, while a
man fromNorwalk was doing up some
Commercials a reporter said:
'Ah, my friend, we put your name
in print, did weP
Then the Norwalker looked up, and
assumed an important, cynical air as
he said:
My name in print Humph. I'd be
a fool to save a paper because my
name appeared in it. If saved all the
papers that had my name in them,
would have enough to fill barn.
There was an article in the paper
which pleased Inc and 1 thought it
would interest some of my friends.
That's what 1 was marking those pa
pers for, if you arc curious to know,
sir. don't notice whether or not you
had put my name in the paper, but if
you have done SO do not thank you
for it. I'm tired Of this being pub
lished SO much.
That's what Mr.. Jamison, of Nor.
walk, said, but when he stepped aside
a moment to talk with friend the re-
porter looked at the papers and the
article which the stranger had mark
ed. 1t was very brief, and was as fol-
lows:
Horace Jamison, of Norwalk. is at
the Burnett House, Oh, vanity! thy
name is man. Toledo Commercial.

TO BE A BOY.

If he comes into the society of men

sufficient importance to receive an an

ence of maturity he gets at least q
scolding for his audacity if he laughs
he gets whipped for it; if he cries he
is speedily informed that he has no
right to cry. For a while the little
fellow wonders why he is here any
how then he begins to look forward
with Joy TO the time when he will be
a man, at which time he intends to set
an example of how boys should be
treated. But if he ever arrives at man
hood he is very apt to forget that he
was ever an abused boy. Men, let US
do different in this matter. Let us
treat the growing generation with that
consideration which is due human be-
ings. 1t is true that children are fee
BILE in body and in mind; but the old
est Of US are but "children of larger
growth" We none of us amount to
very much after all and one thing
may be relied upon as certain-those
who come after us will not amount TO

in their training. We firmly believe
that if fathers would more generally

would spend more time III their COM

SOMETHING IN THE BED,

Judge Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he
goes to bed. The other night some-
how it slipped down, and as theJudge
was restless it gradually worked its
way downward toward the foot of the
bed. After a bit, while he was lying
awake, his foot touched it, and rs it
felt very cold, he was surprised and
scared, and jumping from his bed. he
said:
sMy Gracious, Mai:a! there's toad
or a snake or something under the
covers. touched it with my foot
Mrs. Pitman gave loud screams and
was ont on the floor in an instant.
Now, don't go to hollering and wa
king up the neighbors,' said the Judge
You 60 and get the broom or some
thing and well fix this thing mighty
quick
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge, with the remark that
she felt as if snakes were creeping all
up and down her legs and back.
%, nonsense, Maria! Now you turn
down the covers slowly, while hold
the broom and bang it. Put bucket
of water alongside the bed too, SOS
we can shove it in and drown IT.
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The
Judge held the broom uplifted, and as
soon as the black ribbon of the watch
was revealed, he cracked away three
or four times with his broom. Then
he pushed the thing Off into the buck
ct. Then they took the bucket to the
light to investigate the matter. When
the Judge saw what it was, he said
Il might have known that! just
like you women, to go screeching and
making fuss about nothing? Who's
going to pay me for that watch? It's
utterly ruined
1T was you made the fuss, not me,
said Mrs. Pitman. you needn't try
to put the blame Off on me-
%, hush up and go to-Led? Pm
tired of hearing your blather. Pears
to me you can't keep your tongue still
a minute
And theJudge turned in and growl-
cd at Maria until he fell asleep.

The water from the mines above
Cumberland is irnpregnated with a
decomposition of sulphuret of iron in
the coal, and flows into Willis creek.
The creek is now very low, and but a
small body of water flows down the
bed. At the head Of the city are two
or three extensive tanneries, and in the
tanning of hides large quantities of
tannic and gallic acids are poured into
the stream. AS soon as these acids
come in contact with the sulphate of
iron, the water becomes black, as is
now the case in front of our city.
There are millions of gallons of ink
now lying in the bed of the creek,
which needs but condensation and
packing to make a salable article for
expectation.

GENERAL JACKSON MADE HIM PAY

The keeper OF a boarding house
when Andrew Jackson was President
waited on him one day and complain
ed that Tennessean, who had been
appointed by him to a clerkship in one
OF the departments, would not pay his
board bill.

able in sixty days, and bring it to me.'
THAT will be of no use,' replied the
house keeper, 'for he never pays his
notes.

as he turned away.
The next day the boarding house
keeper re-appeared at the eWhite House,
and handed the note to the President
He took it, read it, wrote ANDREW
Jackson across the back in his well
known authograph,an and handed it back
saying: asa

the drawer or indorser. They will

WHAT right has any one endowed

the cause of dependency What is
the meaning of it? The cause is a

Providence never intended that one of
His creatures should be a victim of a
desire to feel and look the gloom of

through the instrumentality of des-
pOndency. Although we cannot ex-

misery, or clouded by the opacity of

Resumption.

General Brinkerhoff. of Ohio, says:
The democratic plan. as laid down in the
Ohio platform, is diametrically the opposite
of the republican. Instead of the greenback
or bank note, il bases itself upon the green.
back or treasury note, as the center of ac-
ton. and looks to the entire extinction Of
the national banks as its ultimate end.
Both plans favor resumption, but their
methods are as wide as the stars. Instead
of tornado of contraction. marking its
course with the wrecks of financial rum, in
erdtr to reach resumption on the first OF
January, 1879. the democratic plan looks
to the healing forces of nature, and the
expanding power of tree institutions and
an unshackied commerce The democratic
plan neither contracts not expands, and
It's processes are SO gradual that, whenever
bankanote is Withdrawn, treasury note,
Or its equivalent coin, will take its place.
In short, it leaves things as it Gnds them,
and declines any arrangement of existing
values,
