The Wife's secret.

''Iil tell you the secret of our hap
py marriage life,'' said a gentleman
of three score and ten. 1--WE have
been married forty years; my bride
was the belle Of New York when |
married her, and though l loved her
for herself, still beautiful flower is
all the lovelier poised in an exquisite
vase. My wife knew this, ard true
to her genuine refinement has never,
in all those forty years, appeared at
the table, or allowed ne to see her
less carefully dressed than during the
days of our honeymoon. Some might
call this foolish vanity l cali it real
womaEllness. l presume | would
not have ceased to love her had she
followed the example of many others,
and considering the every day life OF
home necessarily devoid of beauty
allowed herself TO be careless of such
small matters as dressing for her
husbands eye; bu, love is increased
when we are proud of the object
loved, and to-day | am proud of my
beautiful wife with her silver hair and
gentle face, than of the bride whose
loveliness was the theme of every
tongue. Any young lady can win a
lover how few can keep them such
after years of married life.''
In all the little courtisics of life, in
all that makes one attractive and
charming, in thoughtfulness of others
and forgetfulness of self, every home
should be begun and continued. Men
should be more careful to sympathize
and protect the wife than the bride
more willing to pick up her scissors
hand her the paper, to carry hel
packages, than if she were a young
lady /; and as no lady would for mo
mens think of controlling the moment Is
and engagements of a young gentle
man, neither should she do SO wher
he is her husband. If by making
herself bright and attractive she fail.

drive him farther from her. / do no

A River of Petroleum.

A writer in the Galveston NeDS
expresses the opinion that a river OF
petroleum is flowing through the
subterranean cavities of Texas. 1t
takes its start in the carboniferous
strata north OF the Colorado river,
and may be traced at various points
on its course to the Cult of Mexico,
by oil appearing on the surface OF
springs, streams and lakes, while
at what is known as Oil Bay, or
the Cult, the water is SO covered
with oil that the waves have nc
effect.

The First Railroad.

Just forty-nine years ago-the first
passenger railroad in Epgland, the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway,
was opened with great ceremony. A
year before prize of $500 had been
offered for the best 10 onotiye en-
CINE. which had been won by Robert
Stephenson's Rocket, upon which
were subsequently modelled the old
grasshopper engines OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, their appearance
being suggestive of their name
Eight locomotive engines had been
completed and placed upon the line,
and all had been tested with entire
success. To every engine was at
tached four passenger carriages, each
containing twenty persons. The first
engine, the Norihumbrain, drew the
most distinguished guests-the Duke
of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel and
I other members of tn, Ministry. 1t
had one line Of the double tack TO
itself, he other even locomotives,
with their carriages, followed each
other on the other line. The posses
sion started from Liverpool at eleven
O'Clock, with flags, music, fine wealth
er and great enthusiasm. Seventeen
miles from Liverpool they stopped to
take water, and in order 10 afford the
Duke of Wellington an opportunity
of seeing the procession, the seven
locomotives, with their carriages,
were ordered SO pass slowly by, the
Northumbriau standing on its track.
Several gentlemen had alightcd while
the locomotives were taking in wa

earnest supporter of the railroad
cause, catching sigh; Of the Duke of
Wellington, between whom and him
self there had been some political
GOODNESS, ran eagerly ACROSS the track
TO shake him by the hand. At that
moment the order was given for the
seven engines TO move forward. Mr..
Huskissen was bewildered. Tho

ginc, struck him while he was still in
doubt where 20 flee. The wheels went
over his leg and thigh, and he eX-

tivity. The trip was concluded, that
the people waiting along the line
might not be disappointed, but all re-
joicing and gayety were at an end
The next day the railway was opened
for passenger traffic, and carried l40
persons from Liverpool to Manchester
in two hours. The original calcula-
tions of the construction had been
based on probable returns from heavy
crchandise-coal, cotton aud iron.
They had formed no high eXpecta-
ticns Of any great emotument for
transporting passengers. But the
railway was hardly opened before an
average of 200 persons daily were
willing to trust it with their lives. In
few years it was found that the
enormous traffic was too heavy for
the original rails, and it became
necessary to relay the road at con.
siderable eXpense.-Er.

do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
Aught of its load;

Beneath my feet,

For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord plead;

Though strength should falter, and though hear

kind as given in the Biblical writings,
on the grounds that it was impossible
that in the period in question SO many
could have descended from two ances-
tors-Adam and Eve. This objection
however, Euler has undertaken to
meet, by showing that, in process Of
doubling the population from one pair
1t might amount to any conceivable
number. 1t has been laid down that
a population can double itself in 25
years. It is true that, if the popula-
ton increased to its present pitch in
$3.50 years it may have doubled itself
every 200 years. The inhabitants Of
the earth would thus, in 200 years ap-
proach 3,OOO,O 900 and at the same rate
the difference between the birth rates
and death rates would be nearly con-
slant, although themselves varying
widely. 1

unE PATCH ON THE PANTS.


Political chances and changes
Bring one another on top,
And sometimes the upper dog quickly
Is changed to the undermost pup;
And one Of the great alterations
The fortune of politics grants.
Is broadcloth galore for fellow
Who once wore patch on his pants.
You hardly would think that the weighty
Could rise to the surface 30 soon.
Or that flesh to the average mortal
Would be beniflcent boon;
But there in his pride you behold him.
Attending SO well to the wants
OF his brothers and pephews and uncles
And sisters and cousins and aunts.
Full many gem. says the poet,
The caves OF the ocean know;
Full many Senator Davis
The streets of New York can show;
Full MANY q koscins modern
In Obscurity spouts and rants;
Full many a great party leader
Has once worn q patch on his pants.
If this could be done. and that other,
If something with nothing could mix,
Ii oil could with water but mingle.
If honor could grow out OF tricks,
Let none dare deny that by one of
Dame Fortunes most singular slants,
That man might be greatest among us
Who once wore patch on his pants.

sides alike desire q Government o
almost unlimited power to crafty
their wishes aud foster their schemes.
In word, almost or quite every form
of concentrated wealth, except real es-
tate, desires by construction or other
wise to add new powers to the al
ready tremendous powers possessed
by the National Government. Do not
understand me as saying that every
man of wealth desires the anninila-
ton of the State Governments or their
practical overthrow. There are thous-
ands upon Thousands of such men
who are Intelligent enough to see
that the preservation of the rights of
the States is essential to the mainten-
ance of freedom and prosperity and is
one of the greatest Safeguards that
can be conceived of the Union itself.
But on the other hand fear that there
are thousands and tens of thousands
of men in the country who would
prefer even limited monarchy to the
form of Government under which we
live. They do not believe in unniver-
sal suffrage; they do not believe in
the rights of the States; but they do
believe in strong centralized Gov
ernment, backed by standing army
and presided over or ruled by Chief
Magistrate chosen for long term or
even for life. They are too sagacious
to expect their hopes to be speedily
realized. They know that Govern
ment like ours can not be subyerted
in day, but they also know that,
even If its form be left untouched, its
essential principles may be day by day
weakened or destroyed until in the
end it shall be in substance and in
practice the consolidated Government
they desire. Hence they favor and
applaud every usurpation of Congress
and the President, and regard with
every thing that tends to
weaken or destroy the reserved rights
of the States. ......#.....,.-.
