A Curtain Lecture.

1880 p. NJ.
What go to the country this summer
Now that's too absurd Mr.. b.
To bury the girls in a farmhouse,
Where never man they will see.
How can you expect them to marry2
You haven't the money to spend7
tell you that's all stun and nonsense.
You'll find il costs most in the end,
When they're left on your hands for lifetime;
You'll wish you had listened TO me,
And retrenched in some other direction
L tell you, you will, Mr.. b.
I've told every body we're going
To Long Branch, and then to the Springs;
And now to come down to the country
They'll be saying all manner Of things.
Have you thought of the shock to your credit ?
That's worth more than money, you say:
hope folks will think it is ineanness,
Aud not that you really can't pay.
think you might try to afford it.
1t don't matter much about me,
But the girls viii be so disappointed
It's cruel, 1t is, Mr.. D.
The Grays have asked Julia to Newport
worked hard enough, am sure,
To get her invited last winter
Must she write now and say she's too poor
To buy a respectable outfit
What excuse she can make don't know,
And it never will do to offend them
Indeed, Mr.. B., she must go
They move in the very best circles
It's chance that she oughtnt to miss
I'd never have given that parry,
II I'd thought it was coming to this.
Don't tell me that coal shares have fallen
That's the way with you-off upon stocks,
Whenever ask for dollar,
Or tell you the girls want new frocks.
Seems to me, to be rlsAing your money
In this way is very unwise
And il you will do it, why don't you
Invest in something that will rise2
You know how we all hate the country,
Aud just because board there is cheap
To ask us to 30 there this summer i
Mr.. b., believe you're asleep
-Bdzdr.

THAT. LITTLE PLACE OF BROWNS.

The place was mine, and we lived as
cozily ihere, my wife and little daughter
and J., as birds in nest, until the
Blacks, some old friends of ours from
the city, came to live in our neighbor-
hood.
We were at supper one night when my
wife told me.
"Theyre going to take the French
r)ofed house around the corner" said
Sally, "with the big extension and con-
servatory, and as happened to be walk
ing out just as the trucks came down, j
couldn't help seeing that the parlor
furniture is OF crimson satin damask and
ebony-I think it's ebony, but 1 won't be
sure, " continued my wife; but at any
rate it's inlaid."
"Well, that's comfort, any way"
said l. eff you're positive it's inlaid,
Sally, You can perhaps go on with your
eyes" she said, so preoccupied with
her theme that she hadn't eaten a NOR
sci, "and there's the handsomest bed
room set for Jane that most ever laid
my eyes on; it's one of these dressing
bureaus, Joe, with a magnificent plate
glass that reaches down to the floor"
"That's good" said L. "You can
run around there when you have your
next gown fitted, and see the hang of
it."
"I don't expect to run around there, u
said Sally, craning her neck up stifly,
turning up the end of her nose, and
drawing her lips down.
"Why, what's the matter ?" said I
"Wasn't Jane friendlyP I've done many
a good turn for Black in my day, and ]
hope they're not going to turn the cold
shoulder now"
"Oh, she was friendly enough" said
Sally; "but we can't expect, Joe, thai
people living in that kind of style can be
upon terms of intimacy with people thai
live as we do. There are certain restric
tions in society"
Restrictions be hanged !" cried
"I N as good Ilan as Black any day
in the week.
"You're as good rs the President, fol
that matter" said Sally; 50 but it's al
like pair of scales Joe, when one goe
up another goes down, and, from tn
way 6hings look, it II take a prett,
heavy weight on the Blacks side t
bring them down to our position"
[ must own this kind of logic vexe'
me little. 1 knew pretty well hoy
Black stood commercially. and I tolC
Sally there wasn't a feathers weight ol
his side, so far as the favors of fortun
were concerned. i'If he has mind t
live above his means, said 1, "he Cal
do it, and take the consequences.
"He has Just as good a right to liv
above his means, said Sally, "as yo
have to live beneath yours.

went out the door, and it ranked httl

wheel moves the fastest. The place of trac-
ton is the center and the hub becomes the
crank-pin, the motion is on double the diam
eter for short distance when 1t curves to the
center and the wagon progresses.
SILvER.-Tbe first currency in Massachu

(March 4th. 1885, that bullets of full boare
shall pass currently for farthing apiece, pro-
vided that noe man be compelled to take
above I'D at time" The first paper money
was made from the bark of the mulberry tree,
and was issued in China and was written of
by Marco Polo.
LOST DATEs.-You were right In the year
1641 the Legislature of Massachusetts enacted
that wheat should be received in payments
for all debts, thereby making it legal tender.
Mr.. W. V. Kilgore, a gentleman of much
experience in operating machinery and making

Thanksgiving Day was not observed here
Business was conducted as usual, and in the
way of feasting if for a National day our eiti-
zens could not have eagle stuffed with oys-
tiers, they saw proper to forego taste Of
smaller game. However, there was con-
Siderable degree of thankfulness manifested
for the blessings enjoyed and no great fuss
made about it. There were no services in the
church in town but Rev. Milford had relg-
Ious service at Crabapple church and enumera-
ted the many causes for which we should give
thanks.

WHATEvR policy the Democrats
may elect to pursue regarding the
finances in the present session of Con
gress, their party councils will be divid
ed. Senator Bayard will, it is under
stood, antagonize his fellow partisans
on their expected proposition to sbol
ish the national banks. He has ad
vaDced one of the strongest arguments
that we have yet seen in favor of their
continuance. He says, simply ana
truly, that to abolish them and substi-
tute greenbacks for their issue is to
destroy just so much taxable property.

THE exultations CT the Southern
Democracy over their prospective con-
troll of the FOrty-sixth Congress are
pointed. They do not acknowledge
the presence or the services of their
DOughface Northern brethren, but 60
about their boasting as if the entire
country belonged to them. The Mo-
bile Gala Register of a recent date ex-
poses this feature of the characteristic
arrogance of the Chivalry in the follow
ing editorial remarks:
To-day the Democratic party rules
in the National Legislature, and the
South can control the action of the
Democratic party. No longer despised
and down-trodden, it has regained its
place in the councils of the nation end
sends once more its statesmen to rule
the destinies of the Republic.
