They may be just and generous,

They never give merely because

Women of many Husoa ads.

1t is asserted that a lady in CAL
houn county, H., although 20
years old, has recently married
her sixth husband. Her last nam
ceased husband was named Race,
and the man she has just married
is named Farris A romantic
feature of r er last matrimonial
venture is the fact that Mr.. Far
ris was her first lover; but cruel
fate interviewed ard prevented
their union. All of her dead hus-
bands are buried in the family
grave yard upon the farm on
which she resides, and her pres
ent husband, as he counts tho
green mounds, will have ample
opportunity to reflect on the I'M
certainty or married life. OF an
other woman living in Georgia, il
is related thas she has had five
husbands. She married four wild
overs in succession. The first
WidoWer lived one and a half miles
from the lady, when she was
widow; the second, third and
fourth lived about the same dis
lance from one another. so that
she has had in turn, charge of
the residences, and she is now liv-
ing happily with her fifth hus-
band within seven miles OF her
original home.

Growth in Wealth.

The United States must soon take rank
as the wealthiest nation in the world. It
falls behind only England and France in
it's present valuation, and it's average an
nual increase of wealth is greater than
that of both these nations combined.
It is estimated at $3.50. 0O0,O00 This
it an enormous gain. more than the en-
tire productive industry Of Spain, OF
Italy, or Russia. The resources of our
country, both agricultural and mineral,
surpass those of any other country; the
inventive genius of the people is greater,
and their industry is more constant and
universal.
The standing armies of Europe i'm
poverish the nations. Their direct cost
is immense, but their indirect cost is
greater. For 200, 900 or 300, 900 of the
best laborers are turned from producers
into consumers. Their labor ought to
produce an average value per man of
$500 a year. An army of 800, 900 men
occasions, therefore, loss in productive
industry Of $3.50, 600, 900 per year.
The comparative net gain to the Unit
ed States, by the absence of a standing
army, must be at least $500, 600, 900 per
year. Such saving enables us to out
strip all other nations In the increase Of
wealth

To Bed.

The tradition is current in Philadel-
phia that. DR.. Barnes, the distinguished
preacher and commentator, always went
to bed at 9 o'clock at night, as he rose
at 4 in the morning for study. The ira
dition adds that he sometimes excused
himself to company invited by his wife,
and left her to entertain them.
A New York. gentleman of the last
generation used to tell similar story OF
Gen. Washington, for the truth Of which
he could vouch, as he was present when
the incident occurred.
Gen. Washington was living In New
York after his first election to the Presi-
dency, and on New Years day, 1870, a
great number Of citizens called on him,
in accordance with their custom of keep
ing the day. He received them with
great cordially, and afternoon and even
ing passed pleasantly.
When the hall clock struck 9, though
large company were still present,
Lady Washington rose with dignity,
and, looking round the circle with a
smile, said:
"The General always retires at 9, and
I usually precede him"
The announcement was startling, but
the house was soon emptied. The New
Workers do not keep such hours to-day,
and few ladies have the social courage of
Lady Washington.
Many great public men, on whose
shoulders rest the weight of a nations
government, have found it absolutely
essential to be regular in their hours Of
sleep-an example that all may we'll
follow.

"Jenny Lind, or Mrs. Goldschmidt,

Palace. at place called Pimlico. Wren
I was last in London met her daughter
at photographers the royal photogra-
piers and she insisted upon my seeing
her mother. So went to see her, and
had very pleasant visit. Her marriage
was rather romantic. Goldschmidt is a
Jew. They studied music together.
When she came to America she sent for
him to come as pianist, and he used to
play at her concerts.
cit was her own arrangement, and
she paid his salary herself. She thought
he was grand musician, and used al
ways to get into one Of the private boxes
and applaud his pieces. Though she
was older than he, she loved him, and
was bound to marry him. He renowned
his religion in order to be her husband.
I guess he thought it was comfortable
place. She must be worth $1,000, 900.
There was joke about it at the time.
The question was, why did he marry
Jenny Lind? and the reply, Because
he was gold smit.

The Monkey at Home.

When they are engaged upon any

of approaching danger, and should
they be surprised through any fault of

al is either severely punished or in
some cases, it is declared, is put to

DR.. johnson on the War.Path.

DIs OVuuSOu On CuC W di Il StMs
DR.. Johnson's hatred of the Scotch is
historic. Some of the best things he
ever said or wrote date from it. Once
Srahan said, in answer to some abusive
remarks:
"Well, sir, God made Scotland"
Certainly" replied johnson, "but
we must always remember that He
made it for Scotchmen; and compari-
sons are odious, Mr.. Strahan, but God
made hell"
"Scotch learning" he said, sis the
bread in a besieged town. Every one
gets mouthful, but no one bellyful. I"
It was probably this national preju-
dice which led him to denounce Mac
Pherson's famous Ossian forgeries, or
rather frauds, when they were published.
Macpherson got mad and wrote a furi-
GUS letter to him, to which johnson in
dited this reply:
Mr.. JAMES MACPHERSON: have received
your foolish and impudent letter. Any vio-
and what cannot do for myself the law shall
do for me. hope shall never be deferred
from detecting what think cheat by the
menaces Of a rufian.
What would you have me retract? Thought
your book an imposture-I think it an impost-
ure still. For this opinion I have given my
reasons to the public which here dare you to
refute. Your rage defy. Your abilities since
your "Homer" are not so formidable, and what
hear of your morals inclines me TO pay re-
gard not to what you shall say but what you
shall prove. You may print this il you win.
SAM JOHNSON.
Then johnson, &c years old at the
time. purchased him a tremendous
cudgel and waited for Pherson. But
MACPHERSON never came, which was de-
cidedly fortunate for him.
