THE EASY WIFE.

There's just one thing q man can have In All this world of woe and strife That makes the business not too bad, And that che things an easy wife. Dost fancy that love my girl
 For rosy cheeks or raven hair7 She holds my heart because she laughs-- Because she laughs, and dosen't care. Iput my boots just where it suits,
 And find them where put them too: That is thing, you must allow,
 A chap can very seldom do. leave my papers on my desk;
 She never puts them in a heap Or takes 10 light the kitchen stove The very one want to keep. On winter night my cozy dame
 Will warm her toes before the fire, She never scolds about the lamp.
 Or wants the wick a trife higher. On sundays she is not 90 fine
 But what her rufiies can hug light my pipe just where please, Aud spill the ashes on the rug. The bed is never filled with "shams"-- thing some women viiely plan To worry servants halt to death,
 And spoil the temper of a man. She lets me sleep tu any hour,
 Nor rises any horrid din lift just happens, now and then, To be quite late when I come in. . I tell you, Jack, If you wonld wed, Just get girl who lets things run; She'll keep her temper like lamb, And help you on to lots of fun. Don't look for money, s yle or show, Or blusbing beauty, ripe and rare; Just take the one who laughs at fate Who laughs, and shows she dosen't care. You think. perhaps, our household ways Are just perchance Q little mixed; Or when they gel too horrid bad We stir sbout and get things fixed. What compensa ion has man
 Who earns his bread by sweat of brow, If home Is made battle-ground, And life one long, eternal row?

Tanning Leather.


 According to Engineering, an import ant step in advance has recently been made in Germany in the science and art of tanning leather, and within the last few months the system referred to has been practically worked on sufficiently large scale in small experimental or exhibition tannery in Glasgow, erected for the purpose of demonstrating the value of the new process.
 The process is the invention of Ger man chemist, Dr. Christian Heinzerling of Frankiort-on-the-Ma and seems destined to result in total revolution in the system of tanning which has hitherto been in use and is truly lime. honored, lnasmuch as it entirely dis penses with the ordinary tanning mater. ials--oak- bark and other astringent veg etable products-and involves the use of inorganic chemical compounds only the special member of which is bichro. mate of potash. Generally speaking, il may be said that the other compounds all of which are readily soluble in water--have as their function the de. composition of the bichromate of potash so as to set free its contained chronic acid, which is re lily the chemical agent that exerts the tanning effect on the tissue forming the corium or lower layer of the animal hide.
 There are many considerations which seem to justify the expectation of great results from the adoption of the Hein. zerling process. One leading fact is. that It requires for it's completion period ol only from four to five or six weeks whereas the bark tanning process re quires from twelve to twenty or occas ionally even thirty months for it's com pletion. It has already been adopted IT fourteen tanneries in Germany, and IL being introduced into Russia, Belgium France. and Italy.

The tuber became green, ex- cessively hard, and developed little shoots bearing smaller tuber and root lets In point of fact there was tuber growing in the same manner as it would in the ground, and only differing from an ordinary tuber in it's hard consistance. Things went on in this manner until the end of September, when suddenly the leaves withered and the shoots became pendent, and the tuber gradually became soft and decomposed after its ten months sojourn on the stem of the bitter sweet. the latter continuing it's growth m the ordinary manner, unaffected by the fate of it's quondam associate"

JOHN EMPEY'S DEATH.
The Story of His Suicide, Which
Reads Like a Romance.
BE Had Lived as Long as He Could
Without His Wife.

ST. GEORGE, December IS. 1850.
Editors Herald:
At about 7.35 O'Clock last evening
report had it that Young man, John
Empey by name, had committed sui
| eide. A coroner's jury investigated
the matter, when the following acts
we're brought to light: About three
weeks ago the wife of John Empey
died in childbed, having given birth
to fine boy which is at present alive
and doing we'll. Since then Empey
has been q prey to melancholy and
ended by taking his own life IN the
most deliberate manner. Towards
evening he borrowed a common army
revolver and retired to his room, hall
u block from the residence OF his
father. Some time after syOunger boy
WIS sent to call him to supper. and just
- be arrived at the door, TO use his
own language, he "hesrd something
pop" towing, probably, to the close
ness with which the pistol was pressed
to the hesh, as nobody else heard III
and opened the door and said, John
ME, come to supper" the answer
was, 81 have shot myself" the last
words spoken. The boy ran fright
ened to the house, and folks sooD
gathered around. to find him to all
inten:s dead. He had made prepa.
ratlons with great dsliberatioD, hav.
ing made his will and left a note Gu
the wasnstsnd, stating that he had
lived as long without her (meaning
his wife)as be could, and had only lived
since her death to pay bis debts. He
had removed his boots and laid
a bolster on the floor. combed his
hair, opened his shirt and felt for the
exact location OF the heart. The
ball passed entirely through the body.
lodging in his clothing. In his left .
hand be held q miniature of his wife,
together with a Graded lock Of her
hair. These we're bloody when found,
proving that death had not been in.
and both arms we're
spread straight out from the body.
He was a promising young man.
and the city is cast into the deepest
gloom. The funeral tskes place to-
morrow.
Weather has been cloudy and
stormy the past week. Two cases OF

In company with Snift-boss Lew

day visited some of the underground
workings of the Buckeye mine, and
although our trip was hasty and de-

the present workings, is now down
over 200 feet, and preparations are
being made for the drifting necessary
to make the connection. After this
is effected, the Buckeye will be opened
up in admirable shape.

now got down about thirty feet. A
