Choosing q Wife by Proxy.
Denver (Col.) Tribune.


The following occurred on the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe road: A gen.
tlemaD travelling between Pueblo and
Kansas City was engaged in conversa-
ton by a very intelligent but rough
looking miner, who had been for four
years an auriferOus adventurer in the
San Juan country, and who had Struck
it rich" He made no secret of the
fact that his visit to certain town in
Michigan was for the purpose of mar
rying the girl he left behind him." for
whose future comfort he had built and
furnished a house high up among the
snow-capped mountains Of Colorado.
But this does not interest the reader as
will the balance of the story. He left
in San Juan a partner, whom he de-
scHbes "as square a man as ever struck
a drill" with whom he had constantly
labored three long years as mere pro
spectors," and with whom he now
Jointly held one of the most valuable
properties in their district jim. too,
desired to go east, but their mutual in
terests made it impossible; he didn't
know any one in particular East, but
then he wanted to go. Jim was rather
a bashful, reticent man, and did not
like to tell even his partner the real
purpose of his coveted visit; but upon
the eve of the departure of the latter,
the purpose of whose visit was known,
Jim made the request, in dead earnest,
that he bring him wife "Will you
do it ?" he was asked. "Do it? you
betr' Had he any instructions to give
in regard to the selection?" Yes; he
said, Harry, bring me good, honest,
sensible girl, what there's no foolishness
or show about-a girl what'll make an
honest man an honest wife, and that's
just the kind O woman I'll take out, and
the one that'll be Jim's wife" While
this manner of choosing a wife is a
somewhat novel one, i; must be con-
fessed that Jim's idea of the woman
best calculated to make with him the
journey of life was a good one.

The Unfortunate Not the Nest Unhappy.

1t was long ago found out that those
people who, according to their own
stories are the most unfortunate, are,
by no means, the most unhappy. All
of us know what it is to enjoy the lux
ury of a grievance, but there are some
of whom is justly said, that they are
unhappy unless they are miserable. [
have friend who seems to me one Of
the most contented of mortals. He is
a painter by profession; he does not
paint well, but his pictures find ready
market, and he is pleased with them
himself He likes his pictures, but he
likes better his misfortunes. There is
nothing That delights him so much as
to tell about some calamity that has
just struck him. Every time we meet,
he brings out precious morsel of this
kind for my entertainment. He was
just finishing his most profitable order
when somebody knocked over the easel
and pumped a hole through the "Sleep-
ing Beauty's" left cheek; or, the savings
bank went up with all his earnings for
the past winter; Or, "hall thief"
walked off with his new ulster; or, the

know a man whose first play was
accidentally damned. If that play had
succeeded, he would have had career.
Over how many lives has there been
thrown a pleasing melancholy, by the
inability to obtain publisher. A young
friend of mine is trying to get a volume
of amiable amateur essays published;
| am sure that it will be sad day for
him if his desire is gratifed. Years
ago, a young American musician was
struggling to obtain musical education
His friends thought, and he was sure,
that if he could only enjoy the advan-
tages of foreign study, he would turn
out a tremendous fellow. Enough
money was got together finally to enable
him to obtain the education he needed.
He came back from Germany, and be-
gan to play at concerts, and to publish
pieces" But it proved that the mu-
steal personality which had, at last been
given means of expression was not a
beautiful one There was something
hideous in the mans compositions.
The ugliness that existed in his early
attempts at expression had been sup
posed to be the result merely of his
lack of training. But it was finally evil
dent that this unpleasantness was in
herent. The better he learned to ex-
press himself the worse he was off. His
life, from being merely pathetic, turned
into something tragic" The Old CAB

A Peruvian Bonanza.

You've heard, 1 suppose, that they
expect soon to open up new and Won
derfully rich deposit of silver in the
mines of Peru? No! Well, then, it's
high time you were warned about it..
Take your Jacks advice, my young
sters, and be very careful about things.
Why, if they go on finding big bonanzas
in this reckless way, silver will be too
cheap for use as money! They'll have
to use something in place of it, of
of course; but there's no telling what it
will be. Only think, they might choose
double-almonds, or something of that
kind.
But don't allow yourselves to be cast
down about it, my dears Try to keep
up your spirits, and remember that, if
the worst comes to the worst, good chill
dren will never be SO plenty that peo-
pie viii cease to appreciate good

On q Coffee Plantation.

Coffee culture is very interesting, and
the growing crop is very beautiful,
The tress at maturity are from five to
eight feet high; they are well shaped
and bushy, with a glossy dark-green
foliage, and planted eight or nine feet
apart. The flowers are in clusters at
the root CT the leaves, and are small,
but pure white and very fragrant. The
fruit has a rich color, and resembles a
small cherry or large cranberry; it
grows in clusters, close to the branches,
and when it becomes a deep red is ripe
and ready to be gathered. The trees
are raised from seed, and do not begin
to yield until the third year. In Cen
trail America they bear we'll for twelve
or fifteen years. although, in exception
al cases, trees twenty years old Will
yield an abundance of fruit. The tree
is particularly beautiful when in full
bloom or when laden with ripe fruit.
The process of preparing coffee for
market is as follows: the ripe berries
when picked are at first put through
machine called the" despulpador, which
removes the pulp; the coffee grains, of
which there are two in each berry. are
still covered with a sort of glutinous
substance which adheres to the bean;
they are now spread out on large
"patios," made specially for this pur-
pose, and left there, being occasionally
tossed about and turned over with
wooden shovels until they are perfectly
dry. They are then gathered up and
put into the "retrilla," circular trough
in which a heavy wooden wheel, shod
with steel, is made to revolve, so as to
thoroughly break the hush, without
crushing the bean. The chaff is sepa-
rated from the grain by means of
fanning-mill, and the coffee is now
thoroughly dry and clean. After this,
it is the custom of some planters to
have it spread out on long tables and
and picked over by the Indian women
and children, all the bad beans thrown
out. 1t only remains then to have it
put into bags, weighed and marked, be-
fore it is ready for shipment to the
port. On some of the larger planta-
tons this process is greatly simplifed,
with considerable saving in time and
labor, by the use of improved machin-
cry for drying and cleaning the coffee.

The bad Husband Headache"
Contemporary Review

1t is many years since, in my early
youth, | was struck by singular coin
cidence. Several of my married ac-
quaintances were liable to peculiar
solt of headache. They were obliged,
owing to these distressing attacks, to re-
main very frequently IN bed at break
fast-time, and later in the day to lie on
the sofa with darkened blinds and
considerable exhibition of eau de CO.
logne A singular immunity from the
seizures seemed to be enjoyed when any
pleasant society was expected, or When
their husbands happened to be in a diff
ferent part of the country. By degrees,
putting my little observations together,
[ cam e in my own mind to call these
the "bad husband headaches" and |
have since seen no reason to alter my
diagnosis. On the contrary, | am of
opinion that an incalcuiable amount of
feminine invalidism arises from nothing
but the depressing influences of an un-
happy home. Sometimes, of course, it
is positive unkindness and cruelty which
the poor creatures endure. Much more
often it is the mere lack of the affection
and care and tenderness for which they

Restoring the Models.

The result of the attempt to restore
the models damaged in the late fire
bids fair to more than realize expecta-
ton. About {, 700 models have already
been restored, and from present midi
cations the whole number capable of
being put in good cond ition Will reach
at least 5000 m ore than the Commits
sioners estimate, or about 1900. 1t
is doubtful, however, if the present APP
preparation will be sufficient for the
purpose. as it is believed that it will be
exhausted by the time that the restor-
ing of the 10000 models originally esti-
mated for has been completed.

And rose and view and tender myrtle blenT.

To sing of Motherhood, its joy, its pain.
What does it give to US, this mother love
In verse and tale ind legend glorlheds
Chosen by lips divine as type above
All other passions? Men have lived and dled
For sisters, maiden queens and cherished wives,
Yet sealed by God, the one chief love survives.
Yet what is it it gives us? Shrinking dread,
Peril, and pain, and agony forgot,
Because we hold the ray OF gladness shed.
BY the first cry from lips that know us not,
Worth ali that has been paid is yet 10 pay,
For the new worship, born and crowned that dag.

That never knows itself. so deep ID lies,

To smooth Springs pathway, light her April

Watching and guiding, loving, longing, praying,
No GOODNESS daunting, and no wrong dismaylng.
And when the lovely bud to blossom wakes,
And when the soft shy dawn-star flashes bright,
Another hand the perfect flower takes,
Another wins the glaGneSs of the light;
A sweet, soft, clinging, fond farewell Is given;
Still farewell, and then alone with Heaven.
