HUSBAND AND WHE.-The word "hu8-
band" means literally ''the band Of the
house" the support Of it, the person
that keeps it together, as a band keeps
asheaf Of corn. The word "Wife" means
lite5ally a weaver" Before the great
cotton and cloth factories arose, one Of
the principal emPlOymeuts in every
house was the fabrication Of clothing
every family made its own. The wool
was spun into threads by the girls, who
were therefore called spinsters; the
thread was, woven into cloth by their
mother, who accordingly was called the
WezEer. or the wife.

A San Francisco correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun writes: "Nules are much
used here packing goods over mountains
impracticable for wheels. They are
driven loose, often twenty in lot. To
prevent straying, a white horse with a
bell is put in the lead. The herd accepts
his lead; they listen for his bell and
never stray. But put a cOlOred horse in
his place and he is not noticed. Put any
kind of a fellOw-mule there and they
treat him with contempt. This dOgged
superstition seems founded on some
dogma to which all mules are welded.
If your team passed on q dark night, a
white horse at pasture, they are sure to
see a ghost, snort, tremble and be OIL"
The relationship Of man and woman
in rainy weather is easily discovered. II
they are lovers, the woman viii have all
Of the umbrella, and the man won't care
a fig how wet he gets. But if they are
married, it is Just the opposite. Marriage
uakes the difference, that IS all

COUNTRY vs.. TOWN.

An eternal warfare seems to rage be-
tween the country negro and the town
darkey. This was illustrated at the
passenger depot yesterday. A colored
youth from Pike county approached a
town negro, and the following CONVEX
sation ensued: T.r NH
oWhar bouts is de ticket Office 20
ssRight dar fore yo' eyes," -,:s
ssFore whose eyes ?" -"
"Yone."

"I'm a mighty slack man when I
gifts stirred up"

''Dat's de kinder excise what Pm a
pinin' fer"
And with that they clenched and
had a right lively tussle. They were
separated, however, before police
came along, and the Pike county
darkey found the office. The town
negro, it may be well to mention, was
badly used up.-Atlcsntn Consultation.

the young. The Courier meptions,
among the causes of this shipwfeck OF
80 many lives, the fact that parents are
often negligent of their children's
habits. Boys are out at night at the
gaming tables, In the very power of
temptations, in the midst of the grossest
crimes, while their parents are quietly
resting at home without thought OF
the place or company claiming their
boys attention. Parents, take care OF
the moral habits of your children, and
they will be sure never to wear the
stripes nor toll under the muZzle Of the
muSket.

One fine morning when Franklin was
busy preparing his newspaper for the
press, lounger stepped into the store and
spent an hour. or more looking over the
books, etc., and finally taking one in his
hand, asked the shop boy the price.
"One dollar, - was the answer.
Gone dollar" said the lounger, scans
you take less than that ?'' Ja3 .l"ats .
ssNO, indeed, one dollar is the prlce.''
Another hour had nearly passed when
the lounger said: T#o
HtIs Mr.. Franklin at home ?'' .s-i.

The shop boy Immediately informed Mr.
Franklin that gentleman was in the
store, waiting to see him. Franklin was
soon behind the counter, when the loung
er, with book in hand, addressed hin
thus:
"Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest yor
can take for that book?"
"One dollar and quarter" was the
ready answer. lIa" l..n
"One dollar and a quarter! Why
your young man asked me only dollar. ,
''True, "said Franklin, and could have
better afforded to have taken dollar
then, than to have been taken out of the
Office" t.t uea
The lOunger seemed to be surprised
and wishing to end the parley of his max.
ing, said:
"COme, Mr.. Franklin, tell me what is
the lowest you can take for it9''
"A dollar and half"
ga dollar and halfl Why, you offered
it yourself for dollar and quarter.
"Yes," said Franklin, sand 1 had bet
ter have taken that price then, than a
dollar and half now.'
The lounger paid down the price and
went about his business--if he had any
and Franklin returned into the printing
Office.

Martha ]. Lamb, in Harper's Magazine.
Hasslar was hampered and embarrassed
continually by limited appropriations.
His operations were not of that character
easily seen; Congress wondered continu-.
ally what he was about While he was
systematizing methods and training as
sistants, Congress was Struggling its shoul-
ders and clamoring because results were
inadequate to the expenditure. Hasslar
was an eccentric man, of irascible DISPOSE
ton and great Independence of character.
On one occasion a committee from Con-
gress waited upon him in his Office to in
spect his work.
0You come to 'spect my work, Ell? Vat
you know bout my work? Vat you going
to 'spect!''
The gentlemen, conscious of their igno-
rance, tried to smooth his ruffied temper
by an explanation, which only made mat
1 ters worse.
"You knows noting at all bout my
work. How can you 'spect my work, ven
YOU knows nottingg Get out of here; you

The committee did ego back to Con-
gress'' and report, amid uproarious laugh
tier, the result Of their inspecting inter
view.
When Hon. Levi Woodbury. was secre.
tary Of the Treasury, under Jackson, he
and Hasslar could not agree as tOithe com
pensatfon to be allowed to the superin
/ tendent, and Hasslar was referred to the
President, at whose discretion the Law
placed the settlement of the dispute.
