VARIETY.

"Time works wonders as the woman said
when she got married after a thirteen years
courtship.
We have lost good deal by our religion -
a woman said to her husband So Yes,'' replied
her husband Is you lost bad temper and l lost
a bad habit of drinking and ragged coat"
There are some delicate impulses that good
woman cannot resist she cannot help putting
three hairpins and spare shoe-string into the
first shaving-mug she sees. Women are no better
than men in this respect.
Why is it that two young people never do get
so diyinely spoony and sentimental over hot
oyster stew as they do at the same table, in the
same restaurant, over plates of ice-cream? We
DONE know why it is, but they never do.-Bur-

HIS FAT SAVED HM.-The advantage of q
generous corporosity was illustrated at Palermo,
italy, recently. A half dozen brigands made an
early call ut the residence of one Benedetti Mar
clio, with intent to flee with him to the noun
tains They found him standing, like Hiawatha,
lonely in his doorway, but when they contem-
plated the bulk of his person they must have
thought that they had on hand contract for
moving Mount Yesuyius on short notice. Moth
ing daunted, however, they laid violent hands on
him and sought to force him into carriage.
He simply sat down at the garden gate and re-
fused to bulge, but did not neglect to make
( violent outcry. The united strength of the
diavolos was unequal TO the task of his removal.
Kicks but increased his cries. and when a son of
the mountain of flesh appeared at the balcony
and commenced practiciDg on the abductors with
shotgun they hurriedly dispersed. Thus the
advantages cf being man OF weight in the COM
munity are sometimes offset. 4E

ssMEN OF STRAW"---THE ORIGIN OF
THE PHRASE.

1t would seem that the above desig-
nation is not exclusively applicable to
the particular class Of men VINO have
borne it in more modern times-in
other words, that the dtspicable class
of individuals who, in ages gone by,
have constituted the "nlen of straw"
equally flourislled, and were f,atfonized
in the courts OF modern Europe and an
cient Greece. We are assured, indeed,
by a clever writer in one of the London
quartcrlies (thc number we forget that,
in the courts of ancient Greece, even,
Il class of men answering precisely to
the description given in our caption
was to he found and from tho fact
notorious as it would seem) that
"Athcns at,ountled in straw Shoes"
the Inference is pretty plain that con-
venient witnesses were by 10 means
scarce among the highly cultivated
citizens of Athens. The writer would
seem to Intimate, also, that, as in West
minister Hall, formerly, "these sMen of
Straw walked openly in court, with
straw in one of their shoes, to signify
they wanted employment as wit
nesscs," SO tho probability would seem
to be that, while in the Greek courts
downright perjury was manifestiy con-
nived at by the Judges, so, in Chris
tioIlZcu ILnSHtilu, ItEahy years ago, ,Nlen
could easily be found to give any evil
dence upon oath that might be requir-
cd--and hence originated the saying,
sshe is 4 Man of Straw" The custom,
however, has high antiquity, and, as
commented upon by the writer in the
Quarterly Review, assumes an inter

not easily to be resisted. We copy his
concluding remarks, verbatim, leaving
to the reader to infer how full OF novel

stwho used, in former days, to ply
about our own courts Of law; and who,
from their manner Of making known
their occupation, were recognized by
the name OF straWshoes. An advocate
or lawyer who wanted convenient

find one and the colloquy between the
parties was brief. tDon't you remem-

GO TO WORK.

Uuder this caption the Sunny South
has the following we'll said and sensi-
bic article:
s'rhe great curse OF tho South is
idlers, white and black. In all our
towns and cities there arc hundreds Of
strong, healthy and fine looking young
men of all colors, standing or strolling
about the streets, from day to day, and
from week to week, with no money.
The universal excuse-"There is moth
ing to du.'' What an idea When
we have here in the South the gran
dest opportunities that were ever pre-
sented to any people to accumulate for
tunes; a land teeming with resources,
and should literally flow with milk
and honey. There is no time for idlers.
II you can't get work in one depart
tnent, get il in another. Leave the cities
and go out on little farms. Get few
acres Of ground, make it rich, plant no
cotton and in IA few years you will be
comfortable, independent and on the
high road to fortune. Don't try to be
merchants, lawyers, preachers or teach.

THE COMING BATTlE IN CONGRESS.

1t was the policy Of II celebrated and
successful General to break his retreat
ing army into detachn,ents, as though
they were demolished and broken to
pieces by the enemy, and then to re-
unite ut Il given time and place and turn
upon the careless and loosely arrayet1
pursuers. We take it that such is the
policy which the Republicans propose
to adopt ut the South. Protesting to
be Clisbanded in Mississippi and Ger
tain other States, they simply await the
disintegration OF the Democracy in
order to turn and beat them in the cleo
tions of 1878 and 1880. 1t is tho quint
esence of madness to suppose that the
Republican party is dead. II is not
dead Mt the North and it needs a por-
ton Of the electoral votes of tho South
to carry the next Presidency. A par
ty that has lived Il quarter Of \ centu-
ry, and has held national power sixteen
years, and is still holding the Chief
NIngis!racy and the army and navy,
will not die in II day. IA, ........
Hence we are not surprised to know
that Blaine and other Republican lead
ers are in correspondence with stalwArt
Republican allies looking to the entire
reputation of Hayes by the lsepabli-
can party. If by the time Congress
ed up 10 ensure II respectable following,
Blaine is to lead OFF and charge Hayes
with apostasy, reputation Of its prin-
ciples, and utter disregard Of tho pre-
cepts and doctrines which have given
it the upper hand for the past sixteen
years. The malcontcnts have agents
whose sole duty seems to be compiling
the elaborate record ,.of all the
appointees made from the South,
and the influences which induce Hayes
to make them. The outlook is that
Blaine will get n respectable following,
at all events sufficient to make a vigor-
Gus attack on tho Administration; and
the belief is that il the Democrats do
not come to his support and uphold
him, so far as his own party is concern
ed, he will be like Il shepherd who has
lost his flock. NOhio goes Democratic,
which is about conceded on all Sides it
will afford Il tcxtupo which illustration
will be made that Hayes is rePudiated
in his own State, or that the only sat
isfaction for the future OF the Republi-
can party is to read him out OF it, and
thus he aloof from any responsibility
for his official acts. If indications are
worth anything as showing tho way
the wind blows, they Enthusiastically
point to the fact that the President is
| ioosing ground with his party each
passing day.-7fo0ife Register.
