A Countess In Conrf.

Quitea stir was created In the Po-
lice Court the other morning by the
appearance OF q woman who claimed
to be Countess by marriage.
What do you want?' said his Honor
"A warrant,
'Who fOr?'
For the arrest OF my husband
What has he been doing?'
he refuses to support me and my
children
He edoes?'
Yes
what is he? What does he do?'
He is Count
Count, and refuses to support his
wife and children! That Is bad for q
Count. 1t is very unfortunate. He
Is foreigner, Of course, Is he not?'
Yes, ne is German
You are sn American?'
i am. | was born and raised in New
York.
Il thought so. You American girl.
In New York have a weakness for mar.
rying foreign Counts. How long have
you been married to the Count?'
Ten years, your Honor
How many children have you?'
Seven
The court sympathizes with you.
Why don't you appeal TO the people!
You should go 10 the fashionable peo-
pie of the city. They always receive
with open arlns. counts, lords, etc., sl
foreign birth. They will help you and
thus prevent the name of distin.
guished parsonage from being brought
before the public in such an unfortu-
nate light. By the way, what name
was your husband, the Count known
by his native cOuntry?'
Jake Himmelhrenner.
And his claim to the title of Count Is
all right, is it?'
1T is.'
How did ne get the title of Count?'
He has counted boards in lumber
yard for twenty years.
'Ohp
Yes
Counts boards in lumber yard
does he? Well, you can have the
warrant, but remember Mrs. Himmal-
brenner, if you ever play upon the
feelings of the court in this 1anner

Mr.. TILDEN's partial excuse for Pelton's
Baltimore transaction, Lat he was trying to
redeem what really belonged to his uncle,
falls to the ground before the report of the
Democratic sub b-committee which went to
South Carolina after Congress met in Decem-
Der, 1876. That committee composed OF
Milton Sayler, Josiah G. Abbott and VIM.
Lawrence, the latter being the only Republi-
can, made this report to the country by tele
graph as soOn as they had concluded their Ia
bors "The sub committee of the committee
delegated by the House of Representatives to
inquire into the election of Presidential elec-
tors in South Carolina, and report the same
for fair understanding by the people, after
a careful examination of the returns from all
precincts in the State, find that all HoyeS and
Wheeler electors hGUe a fair majority on the
face of the returns" This report, which had
passed out of the public mind, is reproduced
by the Boston Advertiser as a strong corrob-
Grafton of Mr.. Dunn's statement that the
Board could only vote for Tilden by voting
contrary to the truth. 1t also ends the SIAN
dered talk about their being bought TO vote
for Tilden.

Invaluable AdHiee.

An old lady gave this advice to her
daughter about to be married. AL
young people contemplating the overt
act of matrimony should engrave II
upon the tablets of their memory:
Preserve sacredly the privacies ol
your own house, your married state
and your hearts. Let no third person
come 10 between you two. With Gods
belp build your own little world, moi
allowing your nearest earthly friend
to be the confidant of aught that con-
Germs your domestic peace. Let me-
ments of alienation, if they occur, be
healed at once; never speak of it out
side but to each other confess, and all
will come out right. Never let the
morrOw's find you at variance. Re
view and renew your vows; it will do
you good, and thereby your souls will
grow together, and you will become
truly one.

THE BIBLE SAFE.
The Old American Bible Society
and the Scripture ReTisers.
New York Herald.


A week or more ago the dreadful
story was started that the old Ameri-
can Bible Society, a nOn-sectarian assO-
citation, YVES getting ready to circulate
the revised version of the Bible, which
is now being prepared in England. AS
the work oi revision is being conduct
ed by companies about as unsectarian
and orthodox as Christians can be, and
alterations, none of which effect essen
tials of doctrine,are made only by gen.
eral consent, outsiders and some who
were within the fold could not imsg-
inc what the fuss was about; but IL
seems that some good people have been
so terrified at the prospect of any
change from the King James version
that they have lain awake nights to
tremble about it, and to groan at the
termerity of the scholars who dared to
search for verbel errors in q book of
which even separate words and letters
are sacred. But it now seems, We re-
joice to say, that the alarm was false
one; the revised versou is not to be
imposed upon the old Bible Society;
the latter will adhere to the terms of its
constitution, which provide that only
King James version shall be circulated,
and any man who is reckless enough
to want to ascertain what modern
scholarship has done to elucidate
doubtful words and passages will have
to do so at his own expense at the risk
of awful things here and hereafter. The
old Bible is safe, typographical errors
and all.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.


DAM in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, apd it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loSsEof appe-
tite and sickness; theJbogeis in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax: the, head is troubled with
pain, aceeihpsnisd with dull heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone; some
thing which, ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains OF
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa,
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial TO him, yet
he can scarcely summon up zfortitade
enough to try it. In fact, ne distrusts
everyiEemedy.ro Several Of the above
symptoms ATTEND the disease, but cases,
have occurred where few of them ex-.
listed, yet examination. Of the body,
after DEATH ''has shown the LIVER, to
.shave been extensively deranged.

How Lincoln Told a Secret.

The following story about President
Lincoln, which may not be new to all
our readers, was recently repeated by
Bishop Simpson: was informed one
day that Il committee from New York,
composed OF leading citizens, went to
see him in reference to the conduct of
the war. After they had transacted
their general business, and the commit
tee was making their way TO the door
he was standing in the other part of
the roomAone OF the gentlemen, who
presumed, on his acquaintance with
Mr.. Lincoln, to ask particularly search
ing questions, stepped up to him and,
In the lowest tone Of voice said: "Mr.
President, | would like to know where
Burnside's fAet is going" Burnside
had just sailed with the fleet, but the
destination WAS unkuoTn. Well"
said Mr.. Lincoln, in u low tone of
voice, "would you very much like to
know?" "Yes." he said he would.
"Well, now," said Mr.. Lincoln, "if
would tell you, perhaps you would
tell some one elsa" NO" said he, Il
will not" Then Mr.. Lincoln, putting
his hand to his face, and, as if to wbis-
per, said, loud enough for all 10 hear,
"He'S gone to Sed!'

The Chamber Over the Gate.
By henry W. LoNGFELLow.

Is it so far from thee
Thou canst no longer see
In the Chamber over the Gate
That old man desolate,
Weeping and wailiDg sore
For his son, who is no more
o Absalom, my son
Is it so long ago
That cry of human woe
From the walled city came,
Calling on his dear name,
That it has died away
In the distance of to day?
o AEsalom, my son
There is no far nor near,
There is neither there nor here,
There is neither soon nor late,
In that Chamber over the Gate,
Nor any long ago
To that cry of human woe,
o Absalom, my son
From the ages that are past
The voice comes like blast,
Over sees that wreck and drown,
over tumult OF trafflc and town;
And from ages yet to be
Come the echoes back to me,
o Absaiom, my son
Somewhere at every hour
The watchman on the tower
Looks forth and sees the fleet
Approach of the hurrying feet
Of messengers that bear
The tidings of despair
o Absalom, my son.
He goes forth from the door,
Who shall return no more.
With him our Joy departs;
The light goes out in our hears;
In the Chamber over the Gate
We sit disconsolate.
o Absalom, my son,
That I is a common grief
Bringeth but slight relief;
Ours is the bitterest loss,
Ours is the heaviest cross;
And forever the cry will be
"Would God had died for thee,
o Absalom, my son %
