The WIFE, more than any one, should
have full possession Of tho browning house,
hold grace Of silence, and know how to hold
her peace even from words of greeting or en-.
dearment. Men are 50 entirely unlike women
In this respect that while they do love
strongly and faithfully they do depend on
the daily outward expression OF it, as women
do. A word of endearment, a smile, or Ca
ress, are all pleasant enough now and then /;
but these little weaknesses are not necessary
for their comfort and happiness on the
contrary, loving wife can dispense with
food now and then aud think it no hardship
if by thus forgetting her own bodily needs
she secures the time to cater for the taste
or minister to the comfort Of those she loves.
But these trifling expressions of affection
and tenderness she cannot dispense with
without suffering and loss. They are her
life. With them her nature expands, broad
ems. becomes richer and nober; without
them she withers and greatly impoverished,
Some husbands little know how quickly
their wives may deteriorate aud become mere
cold machines if they pass heedlessly on
their way, forgetting the heart'iamine they
leave at home.-Mrs. IA. w. Beecher.

An Asylum Scene.

A crazy California farmer was taken to
the insane asylum at Stockton, on Feb.
2, by his brother and Constable Peck, OF
Tulare township, and commitment pa
pers were made out. The lunntic stepped
outside the door and suddenly broke
away, running at full speed with his
brother close behind him. Meanwhile
the papers were signed i'll the office and
Constable Peck turned to look for the
patient but could not find him. An ut
tendant, hearing that lllnatic had es-
capped, and meeting the constable Ill the
hall, mistook him for the patient.
"Where is he p asked the constable.
"Up stairs, said the attendant; 9TH
show you." They went up stairs to-
gether, one hoping to find the lunatic
and the other bent on locking up the pa
tient whom he was entrapping. When
they reached the ward which had been
selected for the new patient, the attend
ant adroitly closed the door and turned
the key, locking up Constable Peck as
mailman. In vain the prisoner shouted
that he wns sane, that the real llnatic
had run away, that it was mistake, and
that he was u constable. The attendant
marched down stairs with the conscious
ness of being very clever, and it was not
until the lunatics brother returned to
the asylum after long and unsuccess-
full chase that the constable was re-
leased.

In a ONandarY.

Several years ago the pastures OF
Queensland were SO thickly infested with
weeds that the sheep began to perish
from starvation. These weeds were of n
variety which is held in high estimation
by the ordinary English rabbit, and n
cargo Of rabbits was introduced. The
rabbits devoured the weeds, but unfortun-
ately they did not stop here; but they kept
on multiplying and devouring every liv-
ing thing, and swarmed in the streets
and houses to that extent that life became
almost uncomfortable to the Unhappy Aus
tralians.
1t was plainly evident that unless
something was speedily done to suppress
the rabbits, Queensland would become a
wilderness bowling exclusively with those
hungry beasts. The rabbits had exter-
minated the weeds, but new kind of
animal was imperatively needed to exter-
inmate the rabbits. A ship load Of weasels
was accordingly imported, and at present
they are reveling in rabbits. The rabbits
fairly melt away before them, and the
weasels, with delight beaming from their
happy faces, pursue them to their hid
ing places aud massacre them by thou
sands. The only question that bothers
the Queenslanders is what will they do
with the weasels when they have devour-
ed the rabbits, and the only solution to
the problem is that the next crop must
be wild cats, as they are the only animals
that can take care of the weasels.

An English paper tells this: A good
story is told concerning a town bred
curate, who had consented to do duty on
Sunday for his friend, the rector of q
country parish in the midlands. The
subject of the morning sermon was the
parable Of the prodigal son, and in the
hope Of impressing upon his hearers the
Joy which the patriarch felt on the re-
turn of his son, as instanced by his or
dering the fatted calf to be killed, the
young curate felt q pardonable pride in
dwelling upon subject which could not
fail TO be comprehensive to the drlllest
plow boy in the congregation. ere
member" he said, "this was no ordi-
nary calf which was to be killed; it was
no common calf or beast suffering from
murrain no half. starved calf, slowly
awaiting death. No! it was not even
merely a fatted calf but," becoming
more impressive, it was the fatted calf
which had been priced and loved by the
family for many years." A sea of wide
eyes and gaping mouths arrested for
moment the eloquence of the fedgling
parson, and in the next there was such a
chuckling and grins and futtering of old
heads below as had not been witnessed
even in the memory of the quaint legged
sexton for more than "many years."

Opposed to Biennial Sessions.

The Legislature of Maine is consider
ing the subject of biennial Sc" ions, and
the papers of that State print letter
from Mr.. Lewis B. Hibbard, editor of
the Vermont Farmer, in which he al
ludes to the experience of Vermont, and
advises against the proposed change.
He says:
First-You will get lower average
standard of ability in your biennial than
your annual sessions. I shall not stop
to dwell upon this point. The fact is
quite patent with us for reasons which
thinking men will see.
Second-Very few old members are
returned the second session. The
American peculiarity-a hankering after
office-is SO great and powerful that it
becomes marked exception for a man
to be returned the second time. heard
this evil deplored in recent farmers
meeting by the farmers themselves. and
yet, in 1878, they will elect new men, as
SO many wish to ego to glory" and
shame, teo, I may add, in too many
cases. Consequently, few. scheming
lawyers or other wirepullers manipulate
things to their liking with much greater
ease. A few days since one of our Ver-
mont farmers said in public assembly
and he was witty member of the last
Legislature-that dozen Oh so lawyers
lead as by string the 1876
farmers of the body, because they are
" green" and not familiar with the outs
and ins of Legislative experience.
Third-It is poor economy. That was
used as an argument when the State
went into it, but it was delusion, and
the figures used by scheming men did
81 lie" most egregiously. The State will
not save dollar practically.
Fourth-The average Of your Legisla-
turo will be lower than now, for reasons
above enumerated, unless you are very
much wiser than we are in Vermont.

This is the story which DR.. Schlie-
mann told Miss A. b. Edwards concern
ing his wife: But for her, l should never
have succeeded in preserving the treas
ure of Priem from the rapacity of
the Turkish officials on guard Mt His
sarlik during the excavations. When
[ struck the treasure and saw the
first glitter of the silver under the rub
bish, it was within few feet of the chair
on which the Turkish officer was sitting.
I covered it again instantly. I told them
all that it was my birthday, and that we
would do no more work that afternoon.
1 invited every one into my hut to drink
my health. 1t was within three or four
days Of the time appointed for us to
leave Hissarlik. Our stores were nearly
exhausted. But we brought ont all the
wine and liquors we had left, and Madam
Schliemann kept filling their glasses,
and managed to keep them all indoors
for several hours, during which time my
nephew and I dug out and hid the treas
ure, and refilled the hole with rubbish.
We worked like madmen. We never
could have done it but for the help and
presence of mind of Madam Schlie-
mann."

Mistaken Identity.

An English paper gives an account OF
a strange scene which took place at a
wake at Depford. An inmate of the
Greenwich Union, named Mary Scott,
had died and the body was taken to the
house of her two daughters, where
preparations were made for holding a
wake. One Of the daughters, however,
declared that the body was not that of
her mother, whilst the. other stoutly
maintained that it was. A fierce dis
pute ensued, and after n prolonged al
tercation it was decided to call in n third
person, an aged woman, who had known
the decease we'll.
This person emphatically said that the
body was not that of Mrs. Scott at all, y
decision which excited no small surprise
amongst the friends who were present.
Ultimately the body was returned to the
Union, where it was found that mis-
take had been made, and another body
was shown the Misses Scott, who this
time, however, both agreed that the sec
ond body resembled their mother less
than the first. The upshot of the affair
was, that the parent was found to be
still alive, and in few minutes after
ward the Misses Scott had the satisfac-
tion of again beholding the mother
whose loss they had been deploring.

Nearly SuffOcated.

An alarming occurrence happened ut
Wesleyan chapel at Ditton, in Eng
land, one Sunday recently, which shows
the danger of allowing heating appa-
ratus to get out of order. Shortly after
the commencement of the service, sew
eral of the congregation, mostly youths
and children, were observed to close their
eyes and then fall from their seat in
state of insensibility. AS one worshipper
after another dropped down with heavy
thud, it was evident that faintness, not
sleep, had overpowered them, and serious
alarm was felt by the congregation,
which was increased by the depressing
atmosphere that seemed to fill the build
ing. The sufferers were, however, re-
moved to the outer air, and an eff ort was
made to continue the service. This
deavor was not successful, for the
preacher had not proceeded long with
his sermon when he, too, fell fainting in
the pulpit. The service was brought to
an abrupt termination, and the congre-
gation hurried from the place. 1t was
found, on examination, that the heating
apparatus had become disarranged the
fiue was choked up, noxious gases were
generated, and the wonder is that the
congregation were not all poisoned in
their pews.

A Brave Woman.

A farmers wife living near Ghent,
Belgium, recently captured g thief while
she was in child-bed. Her husband had
left her during the evening to inform
relative who was to be the godfather OF
the auspicious event that had taken
place, leaving her in charge of nurse.
Shortly afterward this woman obtained
permission to return to her home to
fetch something that she required. She
had scarcely left the house before man,
with his face blackened, entered, and,
approaching the bed in the dark, threat
ened to murder the patient if she uttered
a cry, and demanded the money for
which her husband had sold a COW few
days before. Pretending to accede to
his demand, she told him that he would
find it in the cellar at the further end. In
a bag, concealed behind stone. The
man descended the steps, when she at
once jumped from her bed, shut down
the trap door and bolted it, and then
called to her neighbors for assistance.
The man was secured, and his face being
washed he proved to be the husband OF
the nurse,
