The True Wife.


Ottentimes | have seen tall ship
glide by against the tide as if drawn
by some invisible TOW line, with a
hundred strong arms pulling it. Her
sails untitled, her streamers We're
dropping, she had neither side wheel
nor stern wheel still she moved on
stately, in serene triumph. as with her
own life. But | knew that on the
other side of the ship, hidden beneath
the great bulk that swan 50 majesti-
cally, there was a little toilsome steam
tug with heart OF fire and arms of
iron, that was 1ugglug it brayely on
and l knew that if the little steam.tug
untwined her arms and left the ship, it
would wal|ow and roll about and drift
hlther and thither, and 60 off with
the reflaent tide no man knows whith-
er. And so have known more than
one genius, high. .decked, full freighted,
wide-sailed, gay-pennoned, but that
for the bare, toiling arms and brave,
warm. beating heart of the faithful lit
tie wife that nestled close to him so
that no wind or wave could part them,
he would have gone down with the
stream, and have been heard of no
more.-| Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Study to Have Ideas.


A suggestive story is told OF the

which the academy of arts and scien-
ces awarded him the Rumford medal,

it was the age Of invention and i'm

that he who would make it study and
master it in all it forms would never

A RIVER OF INK.-In Algeria there
is river of genuine ink. 1t is formed
by the union of two streams one CON-
ing from region OF ferruglnous soil,
the other draining peat swamp The
water of the former is strongly impreg-
mated with iron, that ofthe latter with
galic acid. When the two waters
mingle, the acid of one upites with
the iron of the other, forming a true
ink. We are familiar with streams
called Black Brook in this country,
the inky color of whose water is evi'

EDITOR AGE:-I see by a late issue
of your paper that the ice dealers are
somewhat troubled about some pre-
dictions of Adventists that the end of
the world is coming in July. We
know of 10 class of Adven:ists who
predict such an event to take place
then, although it may come; but we
think that ice dealers and editors and
everybody else had better get ready
for the event. and not waste their
time and words in making light of it.
The following words of Holy Writ
may be Of some benefit to such:-

Before Messrs. Lawrence & CO., the New

ton system of operating in stocks, it was
often very difficult for inexperienced oper-
ators, or even old stagers, to deal proftably
by their single handed ventures. Now
the field is open to every one for successful
operations, and capital in any amount
from $40 to $4,000, can be used with
equal proportionate profit. Instead Of
distracting efforts among many customers,
the orders of thousands are concentrated
into one vast pool and co-operated for the
benefit Of all. dividing profits pro rata

The Night Session.

The senate was in session all last night
and as will be seen from our dispatches the
republican minority resorted to their usual
flibustering tactics aud refused to vote.
The sergeant-at-arms was sent for absen-
tees during the night and many were
brought to the senate, only, however,
when the roll was called to decline to vote
aud leave it without quorum. This sort
of tactics may be innocent pastime for the
republicans, but it will not be disputed
that its effect on the country will be far
from beneficial to that party. The demo-
Gratis have endeavored to pass the appro-
priations and in the end will do so, for
even flibustering has limit. The mat
ter under consideration is the army appro-
priation bill, the republicans refusing to
vote because the appropriations are not
framed in the old republican style, where,
By the people have been pluudered Of
thousands for political purposes. The
democrats insist, a right which they IN
NOuUdoAIy pOooCsSs (udL every OOItHE
appropriated shall be applied to the pur-
pose only for which it was intended, and
that no money shall be diverted for the
purpose of maintaining horde of deputy
marshals and federal supervisors whose
purpose is to defeat the will of the people
if necessary, by overawing voters and
bayonet rule at the polls. The democrats
insist that elections shall be free from mill
tary interference and that the horde of
disreputable bummers in the guise of
supervisors and deputy marshals shall not
be paid out of the public treasury. The
only hope the republicans have of success
is by employing disreputabe means under
the cover of law. The democrats will
contest the ground to the last ditch for a
free ballot and an impartial jury system,
free from political trammel And on that
issue democracy will win.
