THE DYING WlFE's APPEAL.

THB following beautiful lines were
placed in a scrap book of now deceas-
ed wife about week before her de-
mise. How beautiful and touching
they are under the circumstances. She
expected when placing them there to
live but short time:-
Come near me, let me lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear
Loves last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe these trembling
words,
When they lie cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm and loving brerth.
I 20 from thee; God only knows
How have longed to stay
How have shuddered thus to tread
The long and Swallowed way.
Faith tells me that / soon must know
The TOYS the blessed find,
And yet 1 falter, while I cast
~ A lingering look behind.
see thee bowed before me here
) In bitterness and tears;
But I can leave thee something still,
TO light thy weary years;
, Young tender forms will cling to thee,
Perhaps will miss my tone,
And though they may not share shy
grief,
: Thou wilt net feel alone.
Fold them closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherless must know.
The world, with all its hopes and joys,
will sometimes make thee glad;
But they must linger round the hearth
Still iesolate and sad.
And O. when Time shall call thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come
When thou wilt win announcer Iofm
10 share thy heart and home
When thou wilt welcome TO tiny Deaso
A younger, fatrcr faco,
And bid thy children smile on her,
Who takes their mothers place. :.
But think not, could I speak to thee,
THAT I would frown or blame,
Though they should love the stranges
one,
And call her by my name.
For they will speak to thee OF me,
NV memory is their trust;
A word, a smile, q look Ike mine
will call me from the dust.
Yet make nv grave no place OF tears
But let the dear ones bring
To cheer their mothers lonely home
The blossoms of the SPRING.; 81
And there th0n too may'st knsel,
And softly press the earth
Phst covers hef, whose face once gave
A brightness to thy hearth.
Then will the forms Of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou can'st forget
Thou hast another BRIDE.
3 She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, 80 true to thee,
But O, the spring time OF thy love,
Its freshness was for NE.
Nav she be blest, who comforts thee
And with gentle hand
StiIl guide our little trembling ones,
who make our household band.
She cannot know the tenderness
That fills their mothers breast,
But she can love them for thy sake,
And make thee more than blest.

Nevada a Ridiculous State.

The Statehood Of Nevada is ridicu-
lous farce. Here is State with q pop
ulatiOn of some go, 600 with more elab-
crate government than the State of New
York. The heads of departments con-
sist Of Governor. Lieutenant Governor,
Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney Gen
eral, Surveyor General, Secretary Of
State and Superintendent Of Public In
struction. There are three Supreme
Judges, Clerk Of the Supreme Court,
State Librarian, who is ex-officio Cnrat-
or of the State Museum, Governors pri-
vate secretary, and small army Of dep
uties, all at exorbitant salaries. The
revenue to support all this fuss and
feathers has been drawn chiefly from the
tax on bullion and cattle, which in the
past have furnished it literally. There
are fourteen counties in the State with
equally elaborate governments, which
have been extravagantly supported from
the same sources, though, Of course, all
species Of property have borne their
share of taxation. But the flush times
have gone by, and, though the States
credit is good, and it has large school
fund from which it can borrow, it is only
question of time when the resources
will be inadequate to meet the expenses.
All sorts of propositions are being dis
cussed to avert the threatened dam
constitutional convention, dissolution Of
the State Government, etc. In my
opinion the best thing that could be
done would be to abolish the State and
either return to a Territorial form of
government or attach the Territory to
California. It is merely province of
California as it is, and is ruled by Cali
fornia capital. When the mines were

done. The ranges were over-grazed,
and are now mostly eaten, and the cattle

OF the %, $50 breweries in the Ger

the last returns were made, 6,524, while
in Prussia the number of breweries has
fallen from 10000 to 7,246, though the
quantity of beer brewed has not dimin-

all the beer drunk in that city, had in
1876 only forty-nine breweries, but they
were on so large scale that they made,
on an average, nearly 100000 gallons
each. The same is the case in Saxony,
where the production of beer has trebled
during the last forty years, while the
number of breweries has diminished.
Nearly a fourth of the Austrian beer is

beer continue to diminish, while the

Origin Of the $ Bakers Dozen, ;,

Close by Market street now Broad
way-lived and prospered baker, the
first man that ever baked New-Yea
cakes fact, the inventor of them.
The name of our friend was Volckert
Jan Petersen Van Amsterdam, com
monty known as Baas. He was Dutch
from his large feet to his round bald
head, and had no respect for any one or
anything that was not Dutch. He was
q regular attendant at the old Dutch
church, but, nevertheless, in constant
fear of being bewitched. His wife,
Maritje, was economical even to saving
the parings Of her nails, and his ginger
bread babies were always made in imi-
tation of his children. It was New Year
eve. 1866, and Baas was in his shop
dealing out cakes for small pieces of
money, called wampum. He had taken
an extra glass of rum in honor of St.
Nicholaus, when he heard sharp rap,
and in walked as ugly an old woman as
ever he had set his eyes on.
IT want dozen New-Year cookies"
she screamed.
"Vell, den, you needn' sbeak 50 loud, I"
replied Baas. ''Duyyel! I amt teaf,
den."
II want Dozen" screamed the old
woman, land here is only twelve"
"Vell, den, und what de duyvel is
dwalf but dozen?" said the baker.
I tell you I want one more!" she
shrieked.
"vell, den," said he, ''you may co to
de duyvel und get anodder; you Won't
get it here"
From this time on our bakers wife
and himself were made miserable. Their
money and cookies were taken away by
invisible hands; their bread either rose
out of their sight or sank into the earth;
their famous brick oven was torn down,
and poor Baas pelted with his own
bricks; Maritje became deaf; Baas was
black and blue from head to toe; and
such life as he led was purgatory.
Thrice the old woman appeared, and
thrice was she sent to ''de duyvel." And
at last, in his agony, Baas bethought
himself of St. Nicholaus, who advised
him, on hearing of his troubles, when he
counted dozen to count thirteen.
"Py st. Johannes de Dooper, put st.
Nicholaus is great plockhead I! y
thought Baas and while he was thus
thinking, St. Nick had vanished, and i1
his stead was the old woman. She re-
peated her demand for zone more anc
Baas, remembering st. Nickolaus, &C

claimed, "The spell is broken, ani

This is eight times as much as Europe,
