How to Select a Husband.

IL huo OccH pIOiOuHuly IelllufScQ,
that the true way Of telling q toad
stool from mushroom is to eat it.
III you die it was q toadstopl if you
live it was mushroom. A similar
method is employed in the selection
of husbands marry him, if he ILL
treats you he is bad husband: if he
makes you happy he is good one.
There is really no other criterion.
AS DR.. Samuel Johnson remarked,
the proof Of the pudding is in the
eating thereof. Some young men that
seem nneXceptional, indeed very de-
sirabie, when they arc single, are
perfectly horrid as soon as they get
married. A II the latent brute there
is in the heart comes out as soon rs Il
sensitive and delicate being seeks her
happiness i'll his companionship. The
honeymoon last q very short time,
the RECEPTIONS and the round Of parties
arc 500 II over, and then the two sill
down to make home happy. If she
has married society man, he will
soon begin to get bored; he will
yawn and go to sleep ON the sofa
Then he will take his hat and go down
to the club and see the boys, and per,
haps not come home till morning
III she has married Il man cngrosscd
IN business, he will be tagged out
when he comes home. He may be a
sickly man that she must nurse, and
a morose man that she must seek to
cheer, drunken man that she must
sit up for, u violent man that sh,
fears, Il fool whom she soon learns tc
dcspisc, a vulgar man for whom she
must apologize-in short, there arc
thousands Of ways Of being bad hus-
bands, and very few ways of being
good ones. And the worst Of it is
the ladies are apt TO admire in single
men the very traits that make bad
husbands, and look with contempt or
rldicuic upon those quiet virtues
which make home happy. Men with
very little personal beauty or style,
often make the wife happy-and
sometimes quite the reverse. The
number of ways Of being bad bus
baad is almost as great rs the nun.
Der of ways of being ugly. No one
can tell from the dcmcanor Of a sin
gle man what sort Of q husband he
will be. Meantime she must marry
somebody. Eat it; if you die it was
sort Of toadstool, if you live it was
q sort Of mushroom.

Why We Are Hopeful.

In one word: We no longer doubt
the success Of the Democratic ticket.
The only doubt is abont Mr.. Robin
son and, if he is defeated ut all, it
will he hy Il minority vote only and
the fact Of another Democratic draw
ing oil Il large dsancctcd Democrat
ic vote. Bat that would certainly
show that the Democrats united can
carry New York next year. There
never was party that had SO many
sure votes without contest MS the
Democrats have. The Southern 13S
votes are rs good as cast. The 2l
votes of New Jersey and Indiana are
almost equality sure. This makes
1G4 votes out Of tic 1S5 votes already
sure, not counting either New York,
Ohio, California or Oregon, who have
all Democratic Governors to-day.
But New York alone, Of course, is
more than enough. IIoratio Say-
mour carried it in 1858. Tildcn car
ried it in 1876. The Democrats car
ricd the State on every Important oc-
casion for the last twelve years, en-
ccpt in '72 when the Greeley liasco
shipwreclied everything. They will
carry it this year, in spite OF their
divisions, and, reunited, be still more
certain Of doing SO in lSSO.-P0St.

living Eelow Camden got into quar-

A erribie Voyage.

1t was announced recently that the
ship Tcmplar had arrived in San
Francisco with the yellow fever on
board. The details OF the Tcmplars
voyage make up one Of the most won
derlul stories Of suffering ut sea ever
related. She left New York in Sep
tcmbcr, 1878, and was three hundred
and twenty days in reaching San
Francisco. Eight days out from New
York the ship encountered two
days gale and was seriously damag-
ed. On October II she was struck
by hurricane, lost her rudder head
and was set to leaking badly. At
Rio the Templar was repaired. Vel
low fever carried OF rinc of the crew.
Sailing from Rio, she had been on
her voyage but two days when the
captains wife and seaman died of
the fever. In latitude fifty degrees
south sixty-four degrees west the
royagcrs came upon heavy weather,
and during the gale lost the iron tank
containing every drop Of fresh water
on board. The crew nearly pcrishcd
from thirst, but Il supply of water OBJ
tanned, the ship sailed without impor-
tant miShaD until the oath of last
June, when the first mate fell over
board and was drowned. Having re-
covered from two severe attacks Of
the yellow fever, Captain Anderson
again fell ill with the disease just be-
fore the Tcmplar ended her year .
Struggle with death and disaster in
every form but onc-that Of fire.
