COnnubial Love.

Save her husband, she really cared for no
created being. She was good enough to her
children, and even fond enough of them !;
but she would chop them all up into little
pieces to please him. In her intercourse
with all around her she was perfectly kind, 8,
gracious and natural but friends may die,
daughters may depart, she will be as per-
fectly kind and gracious to the next set. If
the king want her, she will smile upon him,
be she ever so sad; and walk with him, be
she ever so weary; and laugh at his brutal
jokes, be she in ever so much pain of body
or heart. Caroline's devotion to her hus-
band is a prodigy to read of. What charm
had the little man? What was there in
those wonderful letters Of thirty pages long,
which he wrote to her when he was absent,
and to his mistresSes at Hanover, when he
was in London with his wife? Why did
Caroline, the most lovely and accomplished
princess Of Germany, take little, red-faced,
staring princeling for husband, and refuse
an emperor? Why, to her last hour, did
she love him so? She killed herself because
sue ioyed him so. She had the goul, audi
would plunge her feet in cold water in order
to walk with him. With the film of death
over her eyes, writhing in intolerable pain,
she yet had vivid smile and gentle word
for her master.

The Shirt that Opened Behind.

n man in Greenfield, whom we will call
William. got wp the other morning and pro-
ceeded to put on shirt which his wife had
just made for him, after one of the latest
patterns. AS she stood at the mirror curl
ing her hair, she heard suppressed sound,
halfway between q groan and an oath, and
turning round, said, laughing, "Why, my
dearI'
"Hush up" he calculated. ''Never let a
woman attempt to fit shirt; she can't do
it; it is one of the impossibilities.
"But, William deprecatingly.
Don't you taIk-let me talk. Do you
think am going down town in this rig? A
pretty disposition you've got just because
l happened to find little fault last week
with your ironing, you must so and make
me shirt without bosom! Such conduct,
madame, is unpardonable. No, 1 won t
hear word. When starched shirt front
is the only finery that man indulges in, is
he not ezcusable for being particular in re-

this thing sets like the deuce. Look how
baggy it is here in front, and it feels be-
hind as if there was beard bound across
me''-walking up and looking in the glass,
hitching up first one shoulder and then the
other, after the indescribable manner of
trying a new garment. His wife dared not
speak, but bringing good-sized mirror
from the next room, she held it up behind
kim for moment; and perceiving by his
chopfallen expression that he saw the point
and the front, she ran down stairs to settle
the coffee, and see that Bridget had set the
table geometrically. As William walked
down to his Office that morning he said to the
first friend that he met, 81 tell you, Tom,
that little wife of mine is born genius.
Look at this shirt, now she cut and made
it all herself. Do you see, it's open behind
no confounded button-holes to bother feI-
low. Just send your wife up for the pat
term" And it was by the way of Tom Is
wife that Lizzie first knew that William was
pleased with his shirts.

Exploit Of a st. Bernard Dog.


Doctor Berthier, county physician, has,
at the county hospital, situated about mile
and half east of Virginia City, New, dog
of the st. Bernard breed. The dog is not
fully grown, but it would seem, has the
instincts of his breed within him. Last
Saturday night, about eight o'clock, he
rushed about the hospital, acting in strange
and excited manner. Itsoon became evident
that he wanted some one to follow him.
Doctor Berthier ordered od"Uncle Jimmy"
wh, used to make his headquarters at the
station-house, but who is now Man friday
at the hospital, to go with the dog and SEE
what the trouble might be.
Finding that he had made himself under
stood, and that Uncle Jimmy was prepared
to follow, the dog led the way across the
country, through the snow, in the direction
of the city. At the distance of over quas-
ter of a mile from the hospital, the dog, who
rejoices in the name of Major, descended into
ravine. Plunging through the deep snow
filling the bottom OF the ravine, the dog
went to big drift and began tugging and
hauling upon some object buried therein,
lifting his head occasionally ard uttering a
bark to encourage Uncle Jimmy, who was
advancing toward the spot as fast as his short
legs would carry him.
Marveling greatly. Jimmy plowed his way
down the rayine, and, reaching the spot
where Major was at work, saw before him a
human being-a woman. He at first tried
to beat the dog away, thinking-as he is
rather cross nights about the hospital-that
he was hurting the woman. He soon saw,
however, that the dog was careful to lay hold
on nothing but the woman's clothing, and
that he was doing his best to drag her out of
the drift.
Jimmy managed to lift the woman-who
ne found was still aliye-out of the hole but
he was unable to remove her from the spot,
she being so nearly chilled to death as to be
unable to stand. Assistance was called from
the hospital, and the doctor turned out with
all his nurses, and all the conyalescents about
the place. 1t required the united exertions
of six of the strongest men that could be
mustered to carry the woman to the hospital /;
and after she was housed, the doctor and
nurses worked over her for several hours
before she could be placed in a bed.
The husband of the woman is in the hos
pital, and it appears that she left the city
late in the evening to visit him. Doctor
Berthier says that had she remained in the
snow twenty minutes longer she would have
perished. The next day, when she came to
her senses, she was so much ashamed of the
affair that she would not see her husband,
and has since left the hospital without going
to his room, begging that he might be told
nothing of her perilous adventure. She
owes her life to ''Nlajor," the noble and
sagacious St. Bernard.

How Cod Liver Oil is Made.

Very few Of the hard drinkers Of cod liver
oil know how it is manufactured. But a
correspondent of the New York Tribune has
examined a distiilery for the same at St.
Johns, Newfoundland, and makes the
following statement as to the manufacture
Of the oleaginous nectar:
During one of our rambles on shore we
inspected cod liver oil distillery, and the
mode of manufacture is so simple and inter-
esting that venture to insert description
of it for the benefit of consumers of the
beverage. The livers are first washed with
fresh water, and great care is taken to cleanse
them of all traces of gall, the gall not only
discoloring the oil but giving it disagree
able, bitter taste.
They are then placed in vat and heated
by steam from boiler underneath to a
temperature of liz deg. Fahr., which raises
the exuded oil to the surface, whence it is
skinned off carefully. 1t is then filtered
three times; first through three bags, placed
one within the other, the inner one made Of
flannel, and the two outer ones of muslin
then through three Others similarly placed,
one inside the other, but made of stuff re-
sembling Canton flannel; from these last
bags it drips into large tin trough, and is
drawn off into puncheons through faucet,
over the mouth of which is placed screen
of the finest muslin, which excludes every
trace of sediment and dirt.
1t is then ready for the market, and in
color and general appearance closely resem-
bles Sauterne wine. Our polite but fshy
host pressed me to drink glass of it, but
I declined with all the politeness 1 could
command. He evidently looked upon my
refusal to drink as slight upon his oil, and
brought every argument in his power to
bear to induce me to alter my decision. AT
last he was successful, for, after informing
me that out Of the same glass offered to u.s.
and standing on the same spot, the Prince
of Wales and the Duke of New Castle had
drunk of it, could hardly refuse.
1 found the flavor not unpalatable but ii
was almost tasteless, with hardly vestige
of the nauseating, rancid odor of the "Pure
Cod Liver Oil" sold in New York drug-stores
From being extracted at low temperature
it is said not to retain its purity longer thar
fifteen months, after which period it is mixed
with ingredients to preserve its taste, o,
rather to prevent its rancid flavor from
becoming too apparent.

Another Canadian Jury.

The conclusion of libel suit in Stratford.
Canada, is thus described by one of the
local papers:
"The jury retired, and after an absence
of four hours came into court and handed
his lordship written verdict of Guilty of
libel without malice His Lordship ex-
planned to them that this verdict was equal
to "a verdict of not guilty. The foreman
replied that they were unanimous in their
verdict. They were then asked to MAXI
their verdict in the usual way of guilty OF
tct9uilty. They again returned wish Sas
same verdict. His Lordship refused to ac-
cept it, and the jury again retired, and after
further absence of two hours came into
court and said they could not agree on any
,ther verdict. They were then discharged.
Bail was accepted for the defendants ap-
.earance at next Assizes."

swordfish have betrayed their presence by a

swordfsh have betrayed their presence by a
few bounds in the air, the whales draw to-
gether and close up their ranks. The sword
fish always endeavors to take the whale in
the flank, either because its cruel instine
has revealed to it the defect in the carcass
for there exists near the brachial fins of the
whale, spot where wounds are mortal-or
because the flank presents wider surface to
its blows.
The swordfish recOils to secure a greater
impetus. If the movement escapes the
keen eye of his adversary, the whale is lost,
for it receives the blow of the enemy, and
lies almost instantly But if the whale per-
ceives the swordfsh at the instant of the
rush, by spontaneous bound it springs
clear of the water its entire length. and falls
On its flank with a crash that resounds for
many leagues, and whitens the sea with
boiling foam. The gigantic animal has only
its tail for defence. 1t tries to strike its
enemy and finishes him at single blow.
But if the active swOrdfsh avoid the fatal
tail, the battle becomes more terrible. The
aggressor springs from the water in his turn,
falls upon the whale and attempts, not to
pierce, but to saw it with the teeth that gar
nish its weapon. The sea is stained with
blood; the fury of the whale is boundless.
The swordfsh harasses him, strikes him on
every side, kills and flies to other victories.
Often the swordfish has not time to avoid
the tail Of the whale, and contents itself
with presenting its sharp saw to the flank
Of the gigantic animal which is about to
crush it. 1t then dies like Maccabasus,
smothered beneath the weight of the ele-
phant of the ocean. Finally the whale gives
few last bounds into the air, dragging its
assassin in its flight, and perishes as it kills
the monster of which it was the victim.

The DeacOn's Horse.

A noted politician and divine, who was an
expert at horse trade, is reported to have
sold horse to one of his deacons. A day
or two afterward the deacon called on him
when the following colloquy took place:
Deacon N.-Elder K. that horse you sold
me is stove in the fore-shoulder.
Elder K-Eh! deacon? IF that be so ]
advise you to say nothing about it. You
may want to sell the animal, and it would
injure the sale of him.
The deacon withdrew, convinced that he
had still much to learn.
