NOT HIS SHIRT.

Mrs. Jones was one evening busy
cmbroidcring some muslin Mr.
Jones sat looking at the rich display
she was making and at last said
Why don't you fix my under cloth:
ing up fancy too?'
oh, replied Mrs. Jones, men
don't care about such things
OF course they do answered her
husband, but the women are too care:
less and lazy to take the trbHble to
put on the fancy work.
Nothing more was Said, but Mrs:
Jones looked as something had won.
derfully pleased her.
a few nights afterw ards, as they
were retiring, Jones appeared to be
anxiously hunting something he
couldn't find, and at last, very petit
lantly asked, where is my night
drcssg
Under my pillow, my dear gently
replied his wife. No it isn't, said
Jones, you have made mistake and
put some of yeur flummery here
oh no, that is not NINE said Mrs.
Jones, as she took up the garment
and held it up before her husband,
1T is your night-shirt fixed up as yod
said you would like it, And further
examination showed the astonished
Jones, that his shirt was ornamented
with a frill around the bottom, and
rutllc around the top, while pretty
piece Of embroidery run down the
front. To make the joke more de-
cided, his wife had put all his other
shirts in the wash so that, for once
he was compelled to sleep in this
fancy garment, and rs he expressed
it when ne got up in the morning, he
was rot sure whether he
was himself or some woman.
AT his request his wife took off the
fancy fixings, ms Jones called them;
and he never afterward complained
that she was careless of his Under
clothing.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY IA, 1880.

w hen TINS letter was returned TO
her unopened, she uttered cry of
despair All hope deserted her, and
she felt, that she was alone in the
world. When she had wept herself
ill, Mrs. White, was again the gentle
nurse.
Minnie thought, she was Il burden
to the kind woman, and proposed
making an effort to obtain employ
ment, in some small town. but Mrs.
White objected, and told her she was
welcome to stay, US long rs she had
shelter

work. she said to Minnie, that would
be better than selling your watch
She was successful, with the first
work she took out, and received
orders for moro. In a short time,
Minnie had constant employment.
Years passed, without change to the
brokcnlitai'tcd wife and mother On
her sons fifteenth birthday, she
wrote him letter which might have
soitcncd the hardest heart, but it had
no effect on linn: He had been in
ilucnccd against his mother, from his
early years, and his love was given
to the woman, who had usurpcd her
place. The letter remained unan-
Swcrcd
When Mrs. White died, Minnie
resolved to 90 to the city where her
husband was living. Size sold her
watch and chain, and few other
jewels, md the desire of her heart
was, to see those two loved ones, once
more, and then die
Death did not come to her rs she
wished. She saw thcm-thcy passed
near her in the street. but she was
not recognized, and she still lived on.
III very small room, with very few
comforts. Some hearts break sooner
than others, and Minnic's must suffer
on. She did not find ready sale for
her work now, and very often she had
not, suilicicncy Of food.
1t was not surprising, that Mr..
Minor, should pass Minnie without
recognition. The young girl, who
was as bright rs sun beam, and as
beautiful as tlnwnr,' was now, pro
lnaturcly aged, her frame was cmacia-
ted, and her hair strcakcd with gray.
No longer was her merry laugh heard,
rs in the oldcn time, but she was
ollcncr engaged in prayer.
Her son, had arrived ut manhood,
and while convcrsing with some
young friends, sad-faced woman,
thinly clad, in passing. extended her
hand. She did not intend to solicit
charity; it WAS the involuntary act Of
the mother, who recognized her son.

A lady tells something which ought
to have remained secret with her
sex. 1t is that woman, in choosing
a lover considers a good deal more
how the man will be regarded by
other women, than whether she loves
him herself.

voted. The Democrats
gave themselves i'll their

cording to the census re-
turns of last Juno there
arc only 1872 whites living
in the precinct over twen-

to the white the seven col
