Shakesperean readings" "morn-
ipgs with the poets, +" etc, , are the names
given at present to certain informal and
charming entertainments much appre-
ciated by those who have the leisure to
devote to such affairs. Nobody can
doubt that an accomplished reader may
make such opportunities both agreeable
and profitable, for the difference between
written and spoken eloquence is very
great-so great, in fact, that to read
with any pretensions to correctness OF
emphasis, clearness of Interpretation,
and attractive manner, the reader must
have studied long and well. The world
has endured much from public speakers
as well as from professional readers, and
many an instance of wicked hilarity in
church has been provoked by the solemn
occupant of the pulpit. 1t Is said that
the cultivated John Randolph corrected
the pronunciation of the good man who
ministered unto him in his last hours,
but person less sensitive and eccentric
might criticise the clergyman who gave
out hymn as follows:
He takes young children In his arms,
And in his bosom-beGrs.
So much for style of recitation which
at one period of literary cultivation was
called melodious, and which consisted
in =" slowing up" as they say in railroad
parlance, on the last line, and lingering
with kind of painful procrastination
upon the final word. In view of the ter
rible manglings which have taken place,
and the fine productions which have
been actually slaughtered upon that step
which divides the sublime from the
ridiculous, one might say that ga little
reading is a dangerous thing" and
those who can not read well would be
wise to turn their attention to something
which they could execute with less pain
| to an audience.

Scarcity Of Women in the Far West.

Among the blessings of fortune un-
equally distributed may be enumerated
women, who, while superabundant IN
many parts of the East, are so scarce IN
certain regions of the West that there
are not one-quarter enough for connu-
bial purposes. In Idaho, for example,
women are sadly wanted, not one man
in thirty, it is said, having wife. Con-
sequently, the twenty-nine unwilling
bachelors are eager for partners, ana
some of them have written to the East
inquiring why feminine expectations are
not made into the territory. They could
assuredly be made to advantage, prac-
tically considered, because many of the
Idahoans have comfortable cabins and
fertile fields-every thing, indeed, to
complete a desirable home except
intellectually an important lack. The
Territorial newspapers frequently men-
ton affrays growing out OF the paneity
of women, and express the OPINION that
if there were more of them compara-
tive peace would prevail. As Utah to
the south, is so literally supplied with
| wives it is not improbable that the Ida
| hoans may make raid over the border
and repeat the history of the rape OF the
| Sabines. Men may and can live with
out women; but they won't for any
length of time when women can be had.
If the Idahoans be much longer de-
priyed of their marital rights it is fear
ed that they will plunder their neigh
bors. 1t does seem hard that Nor
mon should often have ten or twelve
wives, and most Idahoans, in the adj
joining Territory, be deprived OF even
one wife. The interests OF humanity
demand new adjustment.-Neao Yori

A Puzzle for PhOnetickers.

A fast man on a fast day took his
horse and went TO the end of the fast
land, and there tied him fast, and as
fast as he could he broke his fast. Then
he rose and took off his hose, and went
with his hoes along the rows, and put
the rose on the end of his hose-which,
as everyone knows, is a sort of nose.
So his hose waters every rose in all the
rows. Now say who knows how for
eign wight could learn very fast the
meaning of hoes and rows or knows
and nose, or to perform any rite right,
or even to write wright right, if his liv.
ing depended on getting some right
which involved the right writing Of

Jealous Of a Corpse.

A scene of very disagreeable nature
is said to have occurred at a funeral in
Pittsburg, says the Leader of that city.
1t seems that young married lady who
died had previous to her marriage re-
ceived the attentions of gentleman
who afterward married another lady.
At the funeral of the former lady, the
wife.of the gentleman, who is practising
his profession in Pittsburg, repaired to
the house where the last sad rites were
being performed, and when the minis
ter Of she gospel had finished his eulo-
gy of the deceased, she went up to the
coffin and began to address the assem-
bled friends and relatives in an excited
manner. From what could be gathered
from her excited utterances it would
seem she was jealous of the deceased,
and she announced that should her hus-
band approach the coffin, even so much
as to look at the corpse, she would tear
out his eyes. The woman became vio-
lent in her demonstrations, and cOnsid-
erable confusion resulted among the
astonished persons present. She was
! finally elected from the room, and foI
| fear that another scene should occur,
a gentleman was dispatched to the
pavement outside, where her husband
was, and requested him not to enter the
house. The unpleasant incident ha:
occasioned great deaf of gossip since

In five weeks there was a failure, and
the grocer was S3, 900 cash out of pocket

The Better Side of Human Nature

A week ago young man in this city
smashed one of the street lamps. He
was arrested for disorderly conduct,
and when brought before the police
court he offered a unique explanation of
his conduct. He did not plead previous
good character in extenuation of his Of
tense, and to mitigate the punishment
to which he had exposed himself. On
the contrary, he informed the magis-
istrate that his previous character had
been any thing but good. He had been
guilty of many previous offenses of q
deeper dye. He had even served a
term of imprisonment in the State
prison. All this he related with the ut
most frankness. He did not seem in
back of all his dark and guilt-stained
past. He only added that he had prom
ised his mother, while he was in prison
and she was on her death-bed, that he
would not steal again; and that al
break his promise, he had stuck to it
through the sixty long hours he had ex-
perienced the pangs of hunger, and fin
ly as a step to secure food without steal
ing.
This story, confirmed by extrinsic
evidence, was published. At once pres
ents of money and offers of assistance
began to pour in on the young man. A
thousand hearts warmed in sympathy
toward him.
What does this teachp
1t teaches that even criminals will be
assisted in any attempt at reform as
