skin. When the time for retiring
came Mr.. Bachelor was shown into
his room He was making ready to
retire when he discovered that. a
pane of glass was missing. So, as
he was in the habit of doing at
home, he put his pants in the place
Of the missing glass. He slept very
well all night, and got up early next
morning. to find to his great hor
ror that his pants were gone. He
looked around for them until he got
cold, and then went back to bed.
In short time breakfast was an
nounced, and again he had to re-
fuse. After breakfast the girls went
ont to milk. After they had fin
ished milking they brought the milk
and set it down in the hall and went
back to separate the COWS and
calves. While they were thus en-
gage they found one of their miss
ing calves enveleped in a large pair
of pants minus one leg. Mr.. Bach
took advantage of their absence,
went out into the hall to get some
milk, as he was very hungry. About
the time he got to drinking in a
good way the girls returned to get
their milk. In his hurry to get
away before the girls came back the
bail of the bucket fell over his neck,
and thus he carried the bucket of
milk back into his bed. In his
fright he tore the bucket to pieces
and threw the milk all over the bed.
just at this moment Mr., - en-
tered the room, and you can mag
inc how lovely the poor old fellow
looked with milk all over his head
and in his eyes and among his mus
tache with the bail hanging around
his neck. Mr.. soon got him
quietel, and sent off to borrow an
other sewing machine, and all hands
went to work to fix up the unfortu-
nate mans pants. Ittook two pairs
of Mr.. IS pants to replace the
missing leg in the bachelors pants.
After they had finished the pants
they found that the new leg was not
the same color of the rest, but it
answered for Mr.. Bach to get out
into the cedars with, and stay until
night came on, and then he went
home. He has not been seen since,
but he is too old to yield to mistor
tune.

The disgusting development Of
American snObbery, says the New
Orleans Democrat, finds it's most
offensive illustration in the latter
day custom of telegraphing all
over the country the movements
of the members of the fami-
lies Of the President aud his Cab
met, as if anybody cared where
they 60 or what they do. Dir. Bur
chard Hayes can't take a walk, or
Mrs Hayes can't wipe Master
Webb's nose, but the whole country
must be told of it. a few days ago
our press dispatches informed us
that Mr.. Webb G. Hayes had gone
fishing or somewhere else, "attend-
ed by Mr.. Devens." This is pref
ty pass in republican America, that
the first law officer of the govern
ment. or at least the man who
stands as such, should be represent
ed as the attendant" of sprout of
a boy who happens to he the son of
the man who occupies the White
House.

Here is sample of the trait OF

This torturing screw of contrac

Laying Hens.

The Maine Farmer says hens can
be made to lay eggs all the winter
This is the plan: 'sKeep them in q
warm light place; give them warm
water to-drink: change their food
twice a week; give occasionally q
feed of mashed, boiled potatoe:
with meal and little black pepper
added, and throw into their pen
once a week a cabbage head for
them to pick upon" We think il
would be well to add some pebbles
and little chalk OF pounded egg
shells. II this simple plan will
make hens lay throughout the cold
winters in Maine, it would be an
easy matter to effect the same re-
suit in our much milder climate.

No we don't want to be rich
We thought we did, but thieves
and scoundrels have changed our
minds. A. t. Stewart was worth
his millions, but he died as
men die. His relations have
been busy trying to break his will,
while his administrator has been
trying to carry it out, and occasion
ally turning up his rich nose at
poor women and taking vengeance
on the Jews, and the thieves being
very industrious, have stolen the
body of the great dry goods king.
Vanderbilt died possessed of his
Millions and now there is no end
to the scandals and effort to break
his will. No, we believe we don't
want to be rich. Then when we
turn our attention to banks there
we see the mighty fallen. Some
kill themselves, others are put in
the Penitentiary, others have fled
the country, others have gone to
the insane asylum, others have re
tired on the money that honest
people had deposited in their
banks, others have forsaken their
families and taken strange women
abroad. We have concluded not to
get rich. Again we take a look in
the direction of Life insurance
companies and their presidents
and directors have taken off their
broad cloth and clad themselves in
beautiful stripped cotton. This
fixes it, we never did care to be
rich any way, and pow we shall not
furnish a dead body for thieves,
nor wear pretty stripped clothes

FAREWELL FALSE ONE.
BY W. At. WATSON.

When the evening shades have gathered DER
And the birds are hushed in sleep;
And all is wrapped in silent gloom,
As silent as the misty deep.
Then memory often wanders back
To the sunny days long since flown,
When my heart with rapture beat,
When claimed you as my own.
Such joys for me could never last;
A sad and lonelier fate is mine;
gave to thee my hearts pure love.
In deceit thou gavest thine.
But go thou false and fckle one,
give thee back Thy vows.
The heart that loved is cold to thee,
Thy smiles no more its fame can rouse

houses in the Forty Congress,
not two thirds majority however,
