HOW WOMAN LOVES AND SUI
FERS,

As a reporter was walking through
one of the streets on the South side
last night, he saw a woman sitting on
a horse-block in front of a saloon,
weeping bitterly. The reporter
stopped and asked her if he could
aid her in any way, for she was a
neat, tidy little woman, with a pleas
ing and honest face. After several
questions the story came out. Her
husband, who is a workman, had
been paid some money that morning,
and had gone to this saloon and was
carousing inside with some Of his
companions. Her little girl was at
home, and several things were need
ed for her, which the father had
promised to buy, but she was sorely
afraid that the money would all be
gone before morning. AS the wo-
man told her sad story, with an air
of patient signation, her hands lay
folded in her lap, and on the upper
one was a long ugly scratch. "Does
your husband ever ill-treat you?'
| asked the reporter. She drew the
wounded hand quickly under her
shawl, and answered promptly, ooh,
no, sir; he is a good man, only when
he's drinking he is sometimes a little
quick with his children" "Why
don't you ask some of your friends
to aid you in trying to stop his
drinking, or else get a magistrate to
intertere?" She sprang up from the
stone, and drawing herself up, said
in a trembling, indignant voice: "He
is my husband, sir; do you think |
would 60 to a magistrate about my
husband, sir! my Harry? Oh, no,
sir. Inever could do that, no mat
ter what he did. "-Wheeling CIV.

A BOYS PRESENCE OF MIND.

The Dayton (Ohio) Democrat Of
the 18th inst. says; yesterday
some boys were skating on the ice on
the river, below the city, when one
of them, whose name is Robinson,
broke through the ice and disappear
ed from sight. His comrades were
/ terror-stricken, and ran away for
help, not being capable of rendering
him any assistance. Young Robin
son, it seems, had 0 presence Of
mind in his great trouble than his
companions. Being a good swim
mer, and accustomed to diving and
remaining q considerable time under
water. he determined to hold his
BREATH and work his way out Of an
air-hole. The current being pretty
strong, greatly aided the lad, and i'll
Il couple Of minutes he popped up
through a hole in the ice, and strik-
ing out with his hands he caught the
edge Of the ice, and with difficulty
he maintained his hold, and was not
swept under the ice again by the
strong current. Working his way
around the strip of ice against which
he had lodged, he soon got a footing
on the gravel at the bottom Of the
river, and easily made his way to
shore by clambering out upon the ice
and skating to the bank. But his
hands were so benumbed that he was
unable to loosen his skates, and he
stumbled along on them some dis
lance before he met any one to take
them off for him. 1t was about sup
per time. and after his comrades ran
away in their fright to get assistance,
no one was to be seen ut the river.
Before Robinson's friends arrived at
the river he had reached home, and
they got tidings of his safety while
they were engaged in searching for
his dead body with dr~ift-hooks."

AWkWARDNESS.

Nothing tends to make people so
awkward as too much anxiety to
please others. Nature is graceful :;
and atiectation, with all art, can never
produce anything half so pleasing.
The very perfection of elegance is
to initiate rs closely as possible; and
how much better it is to have the
reality than the imitation.
We shall probably be reminded that
the best and most unaffected people
are constrained and awkward III COM
pany to which they are unaccustom-
ed. We answer, the reason is, they
do not act themselves they are afraid
that they shall not act right, and that
very fear makes them do wrong.
Anxiety about the opinion Of others
letters the freedom of nature.
At home, where they act from within
themselves, they would appear a thou
sand times better. All would appear
just as well in society, if they did not
try to assume what they do not pos
sess~
Everybody is respectable and pleas
ing, SO long as he is perfectly natural.
We do not feel inclined to make a sin
gle exception. Nature is always grace
ful.
The most secluded and most igno-
rant have some charm about them SO
long as they affect nothing-so long
us they speak and act from the i'm
pulses OF their own honest hearts,
without any anxiety about what others
think Of It.
Coarsencss and vulgarity are the eff
feet of education and habit. True
politeness may be cherished in the
howell as well as in the palace, and the
most tattered drapery cannot conceal
its winning charms.
AS far as consistent with your stu
alton and duties, early accustom your
children to an intercourse with stran-
gers.
We have eel young persons, who
were respectable a polite a home,
seized with the most painful and un-
becoming bashfulness as soon as Il
guest entered.
To avoid this, allow your chidldren
to accompany you as often as posi-
bic when you make calls and social
visits. Occasional interviews with
intelligenent and cultivated individ-
uals have q great influence on early
characters and manners, particularly
if parents evidently place ahigh value
upon acquaintance OF that des-
cription.
We have known the life and sur
roundings Of a whole family greatly
changed for the better by the friend
ship of one of its members with a
person of superior advantages and
correct principles.

A bright story is told Of the ac.
complished wife-now dead-of Cen.
Hooker. When she was the admired
Miss Groesbeck of Cincinnati she
was onc at an evening party when a
fashionable young dandy was asked
if he would like to be presented to
her. "Oh, yes" said he languidly,
s.trot her out" The lady overheard
the remark, and, when he was pre-
sented, she adjusted her eyeglasses
deliberately and slowly scanned his
clothing from boot to collar. The
survey finished, she waved her hand
and carelesaly said: "Trot him
back; Pve seen all there is of him."

Some interesting "reminiscences Of
John Reese, a witty New York auc-
~tioneer, are published. n narrative
of the battle of Waterloo is put up.
How much for it," Twenty-Five
cents was bid. There was no quar-
ter ut the battle of Waterloo, nv
dear sir" Selling a copy Of some
account Of the Ccntaurs," it was
objected there couldn't be an account
of what V existed. Reese gave
an instance of a centaur-thc head of
John the Baptist coming in on n
charger. He said that Cadmus was
the first postboy, because she
brought letters from Phoehicia into
Greece" He knocked down ''Daly's
Deaths Doing's'' to "a decayed
a~pothecary," and took the money,
saying, ''smail iesers thankfully re-
ceiyed." Selling a volume Con
corning the apparel of ministers" lie
said he supposed it referred to their
''surplus ornaments" :'IIe said the
poems of the Rev. Mr.. Logan were

ened a ledger TO Austria because it
was backed and concerned by "Rus-
sia,'' and when it was knocked down
to Mr.. Owen Phalen, he objected to
selling to . man who was always
Owen and Phalen. He sold a table
to a man who didn't come for it; he
told another who wanted to buy it
at private sale, that the first purehas-
er was the most uncomfortable
man he ever knew. He said of O
copy of Lamb with the binding lost,
that somebody had ''leeced it, but
told the buyer he could easily re-
cover it. He put up a backgammon
board which was to be sold on the
square, and as perfect as a copy of
Milton, because there we're a pair-o'-
dice lost. He said the "Three Eras
of a Woman's Life was the story of
the most wonderful woman that ever
hyed-only three errors, and when
he only got ten cents for the book,
said the errors were not very expen-
sive.

THE MISSOURI! REPUBLICAN,.
IN THE FRONT RANK OF AMERICAN JOUR-
NAILS.
INDEPENDENCE, CANDoR, CONSERVATISM
ENTERPRISE, vIGoR.
REDUCTION OF PRICES TO SUIT H
TIMES.

The elections of 1877 over, TO con-
gress will all eyes turn to witness the
ourse OF political events in America.
Questions of vital interest are press
ing for settlement, II the discussion
bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of finance, paciti-
cation, internal improvements, civil
service reform, Indian and Mexican
border troubles, &c, are among those
which must largely occupy the pubic
mind. The proper development OF
the resources of the West and South,
by means of an improved condition
of river and railroad transportation
tacilities-the utilization of unem-
ployed labor in needed public works
the encouragement of immigration
to the fertile lands of the great
West, are matters of nation, As well
as of local concern. Scarcely lessim-
portant is the support of all meas
ures, by whOmsoever originated, aid
ed or Endorsed, giving to the South
ern states a full and free control of
| their own affairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The
state legislatures. especially those to
elect United States senators, will also
be invested with interest, as upon
them and the elections of 1873 Will
! deyolve the decision as to whether
the reins of political power shall con-
l.tinue to be held by the Republican
party, the tenure Of that power now
hanging by but a slender thread.
sUpon these and kindred subjects
! the Republican, which gives an earn
est advocacy to the principles o. the
constitutional Democracy, will ALWAYS
be found battling in the ranks of the
thinking, working people of the West
and South. And whilst sparing no
effort to obtain and promuigate the
most reliable information relative to
American politics, the Republican
will maintain its past reputation for
the collection of all important and
interesting news from all quarters of
the globe. Affairs in the Eastern
hemisphere, 10Y occupying so much
attention, will not be omitted in the
design of making this paper a regular
chronicleI of the exciting intelli-
gence of the day; and whatever en-
terprise and lavish expenditure can
do will be employed to produce a
tirst-class news and family journal.
With the lesscning in the prices of
materials and labor, the following
reductions in the rate of subscrip-
tions are announced:
