Lincoln and Plus IX.

His eminence John McCloskey, Arch
bishop of New York, created Cardinal
by Plus TX, March %, 1873, arrived in
Rome when the Conclave had already
elected the new Pope. He is the first
and only American Cardinal. One day,
during the time of President Lincoln,
there arrived in Rome an envoy extra
ordinary from the White House. He
was presented to Cardinal Antonelli.
and said that President Lincoln had di-
rected him to salute the Pope, and to re-
quest him to appoint some American
Cardinals. Cardinal Antonelli, who
did not understand English, said in
low voice to the prelate who acted as
interpreter, "The man is crazy"
Then, turning to the envoy, he said:

reason for doing it." answered the en-
voy ''But America is too far Off"

The Wife of the Period.

A blushing couple-lately we'd
Had sought their Western home, tits said;
Where the young husband, with his dear,
Essay'd to act the pioneer.
He hired no help himself to aid,
And she employed no kitchen maid
Thus in n careful. prudent way,
Preparing for "a rainy day"
The bride with health and beauty blessed,
Was petted, idolized, caress'd:
The honey moon so sweetly sped,
1t hardly could be sung or saidl
But things grew mix'd on table, shelf,
The house seem'd not to keep" ITSELF
No place for this or that, was found
Things were promiscuous- pitchd around,
AS in old bachelors halls, where Cain,
Chaos, and dirty dishes reign;
Where hose, unmende,i, misery breed,
And bosom buttons burst, secede;
Where elbows. like a ragged rhyme,
ForfornIy miss the '.stitch in time;"
Where beds are made" with many n hill,
-Convuls'd as by thrcshing- mill;
Where cobwebs, dust, and lumber, lie,
Detestable as printers pi;
Where specks, and flies, and bugs abound
And creeping things invade the ground,
Well-when the fond, bewilder'd man,
With whom our story Just began,
Awoke to see how things aptear'd,
Or how his ZONE was engineered
Till ev'ry clearly dud was gone.
When the fam'd garment Hood had sung,
The very last-was on him hung
He thought to gently hint desire
To be supplied with fresh attire;
So, bright and early out he crreps,
One morn, while yet his darling sleeps;
Builds high the fire }; proceeds, anon,
To put the pots and kettles on,
Filrd with soft water to the hrim.
This done, just then, accosting him,
His angel, with her nightcap rais'd,
And looking earnest and amaz'd,
Exclaimed, (as something were amiss)-
"a Why, husband! husband! how is this?
Do tell me. precious !-~tell me why
This strange performance meets my eyer"
IS Don't be alarmed" says he, "dear Rose,
But must somehow have some clo'esi
You see, by Jovei there is a lack.
The last clean thing is on my back"
" OH thenv'-with ecstacy said she,
90 Wash, love, while at it, ONE FOR MEr
Thus women's rights wives do begin
To break their naughty husbands in.
