a poet, have no higher enjoyment than

The wife's Secret,
TAlllauce,1


81 will tell you the secret of our happy
married life" said a gentleman of threescore
and ten. 1--WE have been married for 40
years; my bride was the belle of New York
when married her. and though l loved her
for herself, still lovely flower is all the
lovlier poised in an exquisite vase. My
wife knew this, and, true to her genuine re-
tinement. has never, in all these 40 years,
appeared at the table or allowed me to see
her less carefully dressed than during the
days of our honeymoon. Some might call
this foolish vanity; | call it real womanli
ness. presume l should not have ceased to
love her had she followed the example of
many others, and, considering the every
day life of home necessarily devoid of beau
ty, allowed herself to be careless of such
small measures as dressing for her husbands
eye; but love is increased when we are proud
Of the object loved. and to day / am more
proud of my beautiful wife with her silvery
hair and gentle face, than of the bride whose
lovliness was the theme of every tongue.
Any young lady can win lover; how few
can keep them such after years of married
llfei"
In all the little courtesies of life, in all
that makes one attractive and charming In
thoughtfulness of others and forgetfulness of
self every house should be begun and con-
tinucd. Men should be more careful to
sympathize with and protect the wife than
the bride-more willing to pick up her
scissors, hand her the paper or carry her
packages than If she were young lady; and
as no young woman would for moment
think Of controlling the engagements and
movements Of a young gentleman, neither
should she do SO when he is her husband. If
by making herself bright and attractive she
fails to hold him, conpulsion will only
drive him further from her. l do not be-
lieye it possible to retain the friendship of
anyone by demanding it. / do not believe
it possible to lose it by being lovable.

RESULTS OF THE TRAGEDY,
Thus the visible incidents and surround
ings Of President Lincoln's murder as thew

secessions OF these States. Thus the four

my opinion, greatest Not the event of the
murder itself. Not that Mr. Lincoln strings
the principal points and personages,
OF the period, like beads upon the
single string Of his career. Not
that his idiosyncrasy, in its sudden appear
ance and disappearance, stamps the Repub-

AllaQaa Arson.

When the steamer arrived from Boston yes
terday morning Nelson B. Becl1worth was ar
rested and taken to the station. We are in
formed that he was arrested on a charge of set
ting fire to his store in Ferry Village on Thurs
day last. Constable Dyer says that he found a
kit containing a vessel that had been filled
with kerosene and covered with straw in the
store after the fire had been extnguished lie
also states, as does the insurance agents.
Messrs Munger and Coffin, that there was moth
ing of any especial value found in the store
after the flames were extinguished, while Mr..
Beckworth had about 81, 100 insurance.
In an interview with Mr.. Beckworth last
night he stated to the PRESS reporter he UNI
stood he was arrested for setting fire to his
store by insurance agents; that the insurance
was effected some time ago, and that at the
time of the fire he had about $500 worth OF
goods in the store; that he has always kept a
kerosene lamp burning in the store, and it was
so burning when he went to Boston on the
boat Wednesday night; that he has no doubt
when the fire was discovered people rushed in
and helped themselves to the goods, and that
he had 5000 insurance in one company and
$500 in another, and that he had made sworn
statement yesterday to the insurance agents OF
what he had in the store.
AS the store adioned a dwelling which was
occupied the charge against Mr.. Beckworth is

Rough on the Baby.

One day last week a man and two women. in
an open boat, started from Boon Island with
sick man for Portsmouth, leaving at the Light
man and babe Is weeks old. Wind, tide
and weather were against them, and they
found it impossible to make Portsmouth. The
sick man grew worse and it was feared that he
would die before reaching land, but after much
anxiety and exposure they were able to make
York harbor. After seeing the sick man prop
erly cared for, the rest started for the island,
but were again foiled in their attempt, and
were compelled to put back to land. Monday
of this week they again tried to reach the is
land, but failed and were forced to put into
Ogunquit for the night. Tuesday morning
dawned pleasant and as the sea was smooth it
is to presumed that they succeeded in reaching
their island home, and the anxious mother,
after an absence of number Of days, was re-
stored to her babe, which must have sadly
needed her care

Youthful Bear Hunters.

Steamer Chas. Houghton, on her Monday
trip to Rockland, brought from Sullivan to be
forwarded to Boston large bear weighing
nearly 600 pounds. The account of his cap
ture sounds like one of the old-fashioned bear
stories of frontier life He was killed by a
couple of boys IA and 10 years old. They were
out cunning and came upon the tracks Of the
bear, which they followed to a sort of den,
having a small aperture. One of the lads put
his head in, but took it out suddenly on seeing
the bears nose not six inches from his own.
The bear started to come out and one boy fired
at his head. The bullet went through his
nose. The other boy fired, with exactly the
same result, the bullet entering about two
inches above the other The bear was furious
and made rush with his mouth open. One
of the hunters promptly filled the vacancy by
running his gun barrel down the animal
throat, while the other dubbed his weapon
and dealt bruin blow that stunned him. They
then cut his throat and were congratulating
themselves on their victory But the pain of
the cutting and the flow of blood caused the
bear to recover from his stupor and he made
it exceedingly warm for his executioners for a
while. They ran and the bear pursued, gain
ing on them constantly and almost catching
them. Finally, however, he fell from loss of
blood and was soon dead. He was very fat,
having evidently just gone into winter quar-

CONGRESSMAN Reeds Financial View

Congressman Reeds Financial Views.
''Perley' of the Boston Journal reports Con-
gresham Reed as saying that the country is
really in great danger from threatened in
hation of the paper currency. No country had
ever yet tried the expert nent of making pa
per legal tender without encountering disaster
at some stage of it. If we escape it, we shall
be the one exception in a thousand years.
Now, he thought, is good time to retire this
dangerous element of our monetary system.
He doubted if there ever was a necessity for
the issue of greenbacks. Frederick the Great
carried on war, in comparison with which our
own was insignificant, for four years without
issuing paper legal tender We let go sound
money at the end of the first year. We have
been fourteen years in resuming. France re-
sumed in seven. He says he feels ashamed
whenever he compares our country with
France, that we, in spite of our advantages,
should manage with so Lit lie judgment. Mr..
Reed is astonished that the Republicans should
not take this opportunity of financial prosper
ity to get rid of the greenbacks.
