The Duty Of Husbands.

The first duty of husbands is to SYM
pathize with their wives in all their
cares and labors. Men are apt to for
get, in the perplexities and annoyances
of business, that home cares are also
annoying, and try the patience and
strength of their wives. They come
home expecting sympathy and atten-
ton, but are too apt to have none to
give. A single kindly word or look,
that tells his thought of her and her
troubles, would lif the weight of care
from her heart. Secondly, husbands
should make confidants of their wives,
consulting them on their plans and pros
poets, and especially on their troubles
and embarrassments. A woman's in
tuition is often better than all his wis.
dom and snrewdness; and all her ready
sympathy and interest is powerful aid
to his efforts for their mutual welfare.
Thirdly, men should show their love for
their wives in constant attention, lin
their manner of treating them and in
the thousand and one trifiing offices of
affection which may be hardly notice
able, but which make all the difference
between a life of sad and underlined
longing, and CHEEKY, happy existence.
Above all, men should beware OF treat
ing their wives with rudeness and in
civility, as if they were the only per-
sons not entitled to their consideration
and respect. They should think of their
sensitive feelings. and their need OF
sympathy, and never let the fire of love
go out, or cease to show that the flame
is burning with unabated fervor.

Walking Sticks.

A walking stick has always been con
sidered a useful and graceful present,
likely to be of pleasant service, and long
possessed. Some are inclined to think
that the pilgrims staff, the bishops
crOzier, the drum MAJORS gorgeous mace
and the usher's wand have common
origin with the walking stick; at least,
we know that change of habit, and that
most unaccountable change of fashion,
has in our own time worked some
curious results; the various materi ais
called into use are alone sufficient to
cause surprise. Walking sticks have
been made of tortoise shell, the back
bone or vertebr@ of the shark, the tusk
of the rhinoceros, and woods of every
conceivable variety, and lately one was
exhibited made entirely of champagne
cords, with wire passed through them.
The handles have many more sources to
boast, as there are many materials not
large enough TO make whole sticks, such
for instance as the teeth of the giraffe,
the walrus, the elephant; and, in fact,
most large teeth and all hCrns are use
full for the purpose. 1t is remarkable
fact that women are seldom employed
at stick making, and boys but little,
there being so much knowledge and
skill required for the various processes
that men are chiefly employed; it is also
singular that steam power is not in use
to any large extent; machinery has the
power of TURNING out large quantities of
goods all alike. but cannot vary them
this is the reason of its not being gener-
ally adopted, for the very charm of a
stick is its natural peculiarities. There
must not be two alike, and if nature is
humored, as it is by skilled workman,
they cannot be; it will readily be seer
that a fixed method cannot be applied
to all, as each stick must receive treat
ment peculiar to itself.-HGtterS' Gazette

remembered was that he an his brothe
had entered the warehouse together at
dark; that he had sat down by the stove
near the front door, and his brother had
gone back some distance to the count
ing-room that when he had warmed
himself he rose to follow him. The
rest was blank. From the stove to the
hatcbway was a distance of thirty feet.
3. A boy five years of age was in the
habit of climbing out upon a window
sill, for which his mother had punished
him. Entering the room one day she
saw him again in his perilous situation.
Afraid to alarm him by speaking to him.
she ran below to warn him back and to
catch him in case he should fall. She
was too late, however, finding him lying
insensible on the pavement from fall
of dozen feet. The injury sustained
was apparently fracture at the base of
the skull, hemorrhage and serous dis
charge coming from his ears. He re-
covered, however, and his conscious d.
ness returned in forty eight hours. His
account to his mother of his fall was
Z" / wasn't bad, mamma Igot out on
the window, but l got back. before any
one told me-"
The comments have to make on the
cases narrated shall be brief. They are:
First-That the point at which men,
ory leaves one in injuries accompanied
by great shock seems to be at the record
of. the last prominent idea. In the first
case the walk around the houss was
monotonous, and the gentleman was no
doubt all the while occupied with the
circumstances connected with his not
getting in his front door, as he had Mt
first intended. In case second the
prominent idea OF the man was in leav-
ing the comfortable stove to join his
brother. In case third it was the
mothers Injunction.
Second-The points noted seem to es-
tablish the fact of enthanasia in cases of
violent death, not only to actual pain
inflicted by the injury, but as to the an
ticipation of the horrible event.-R. o.

Lost His shawl.

A gentleman returning from Europe
bought very handsome and expensive
shawl fer his wife. 1t cost between
s., 900 and 80 600, and he was naturally
desirous Of avoiding the disagreeable
necessity of paying several hundred
dollars more in the shape of customs
duty. On board the vessel was an ex-
ceedingly attractive lady, to whom
when they were in sight Of land he con.
fided his dilemma. Why, my dear
SIR" she said, naively. "that is no
dilemma at all. l will wear the shawl
ashore, and then no questions will be
asked" The gentleman paid 4 glowing
tribute to the wonderful fertility of the
feminine mind and accepted the offer.
The shawl graced the lady's shoulders,
and was certainly very becominY. The
trunks were examined and passed with
that mysterious chalk mark, without
which no baggage can receive the bene-
diction of Uncle Sam, and then the gen.
tleman saluted the lady, spoke of the
pleasure he had enjoyed in her COM
pany, hoped they would have the plea
sure of crossing the ocean together
again, and then asked for the shawl.
q" | beg. your pardon" she said, /" but
what shawl do you refer top" He
have on, to be sure" "And why
should give you my shawlP" she in
Quired. In word, the dialogue waxed
so warm that she threatened TO call q
policeman unless he desisted, and since
he could not legally claim the shawl
without convicting himself of a deliber-
ate attempt to swindle the government,
he was compelled to leave with the fair
stranger the present which he had in
tended for his wife.

A Sled.Ride Behind n Train.

One of our townsmen who was
north short time since tells a pretty
good story of a joke on conductor in
the employ of the Utica & Black river
railroad company. The conductor runs
a passenger train. 1t seems that young
fellow residing near Lowville has quite
local reputation rs dance artist, and
he travels about the country consider
ably and dances at entertainments for
the amusement of the people. He is
noted for genial manners, and the boys
attempt to run upon hin" on account
of his good nature. A short time since
the young man referred to had occasion
to travel from one station to another. a
distance of about two miles, and he con-
ceived the idea that it would be easier
to ride than to walk. He had no money,
so he resolved to beg a ride. The con-
ductor promptly refused to carry him
free, but the fellow insisted that he
ought to ride free. The conductor in
sisted that he should not, and the fellow
offered 10 bet that he would get free
ride to his place of destination. He had
a hand-sled with him, and when the
train was about to start he went to the
rear of the train and hitched on. Away
went the train dragging the sleigh with
the boy firmly seated thereon. Train
hands and passengers looked on in as
tonishment. The conductor went TO
the rear platform and asked the venture
some fellow for his ticket. The boy
laughed at him and hung on. The con-
ductor resolved to give him q shaking
up, so he ordered the engineer to put on
extra steam. The train fairly flew.
The sled scarcely touched the snow, so
great was the speed of the train. It
remained right side up all the time, how
ever, and the deadhead passenger hung
on like grim death. The upshot of the
matter was that the dance artist reached
his destination in safety, and joked the
conductor numerically. 1t is supposed
the latter bought the cigars for the
crowd. The boy, by his recklessness
and grit" won the admiration of the
conductor, and now he rides free on the
train any time he ikes.-Ronae (N. Y. }

The Loss Of Memory Through Shock.

Mental depression, incoherence of
thought and absolute insensibility are,
OF course, the common symptoms ac-
companying shock, varying with its
amount; and moments, hours, days,
weeks, or even months of blank follow
upon jar of the brain, according to the
degree of disturbance to which it may
have been subjected. These are ordin-
| airy phenomena; but while it has been
common to note the time at which the
patient comes to himself and memory
resumes its action, it is not so general to
inquire as to what particular moment
recollection vanished. think we are
generally content to date this from the
time when the injury was received, and
| yet, under some circumstances, it will
be found that there has been quite an
appreciable period aptecedent to this, of
which all record has been wiped from
the brain; and this fact may be of i'm
portance in several ways. Several
cases in my experience, illustrating the
truth of the proposition laid down, hap
pening in swift succession, induces me
to make record OF them.
/. A gentleman returning to his home
| one night went first to the front door to
| get in, but this being locked he went
round the house to the back door. Along
side of this entrance were steep steps
leading to an open basement, and, the
night being very dark, he missed his
way and fell into it, a distance of eight
feet. When found, supposedly within a
half hour atterward, he was completely
unconscious, and upon examination it
was discovered he had scalp wound on
the back of his head down to the bone,
which was unbroken. He was restored
to consciousness in a few hours, and the
next morning was wholly cognizant OF
passing events, and several days later
was about as usual. He retained no
memoryOwhateVe of his fall, all recol-
lection ceasing at the time when ht
turned away from his front door to &c
around the house, though after this hC
had to traverse a distance of q hun.
dred feet to reach the point where ht
fell.
.. Two weeks since / attended a gen
tleman who had fallen through a hatch
way of warehouse, distance of ninC
feet, into cellar. He had a rib broker
and a deep wound in his chin. WithiI
half hour after his fall he was removed
to carriage, assisting somewhat thOs'
who were helping him. He had grea
confusion of thought for several hour
atterward, asking continually where hI
was, what was the matter with him
etc. He had a sharp surgical fever, al
abscess developing in his jaw; but aftel
the first thirty-six hours his intelligence
was completely restored. He had NJ
recollection Of his accident. All that h'

Fashion Notes.
NNWW AWN0H'
trimmings continue the rage.

Jet trimmings continue the rage.
White is the favorite color for even
ing dresses
Small Japanese fans with long handles
are very fashionable.
Young ladies wear their corsage bou-
quets on one side of the neck, near the
shoulder.
White jet and white Spanish lace APP
pear to be favorite decorations of white
dress bonnets.
Long round trains show rows of fine
plating, and square trains employ side
garniture and full trimming at the backT
New silk handkerchiefs for the neck
are in pale shades of blue and rose, and
edged with plating of Breton, Lanque-
doc or Valenciennes laces.
A revival has taken place in the
fashion of wearing bodice that differs
from the skirt, both in material and in
color-the spencer, in fact, of forty
years ago.
Skirts are decidedly shorter this sea-
son, whether for the matron who wears
striped velvet, brocade and satin, or for
youthful dancers in gauze, silk muslin
and India muslin.
IL is becoming q fashion for ladies
each to adopt a separate flower for her
own, and to wear it on all occasions /;
natural blooms especially whenever
they are obtainable.
Full fraises of lace are worn high and
close around the throat. The lace is
put in treble box plaits, and there is a
long bow of muslin and lace added to
this to fall low on the corsage.
The newest corsage for evening dress
has the short basque shape at the hips,
is laced at the back, and terminates
there as well as at the front in long and
acute points. The neck is heart shaped
or round and very short puffed sleeves
replace shoulder straps.
Long black kid gloves with bracelet
of small yellow rose-buds at the top is
one of the caprices of semi-dress toi-
lettes. For debutante TO wear with a
white and blue toilette, white undressed
kid gloves had a band of tiny blue for
get-me-nots forming bracelet at the
top of each, just below the elbow.
Flannel, serge and cashmere in light
tones are made up with dark velvet for
bridesmaids at English weddings. Old
English, almost fancy, dresses are
adopted sometimes. At recent we'd
ding white satin, with Vatican plaits,
tight sleeves with puffs, and Olivia
caps of white lace and green satin were
chosen, and looked most quaint on the
children who acted as bridesmaids.

Washington as a Voter.

Washington voted at all the Fairfax
elections until the close of his life, uni
formly supporting the Federal candi-
dates. Although living some distance
from the court house, at the Alexandria
market, he generally voted early. The
polls were reached by a fight Of steps
outside. which in 1859 had become old
and shaky. When the general reached
the steps, he placed one foot upon them
and shook the crazy ascent as if to try
its strength. Instantly twenty brawny
arms, one above the other, grasped the
stairway, and dozen mems shoulders
braced It. Nor did a man move until
the venerable chief deposited his vote
and returned. Il saw his last bow
said one of them half century after
ward sit was more than 'kingly."-
