Mutual Forbearance.

The lady thus addressed her spouse:
'What q mere dungeon Is this house;
By no means large enough, and was it,
Yet this dull room, and that dark closet,
Those hangings with their Worn.out graces,
Long boards, long noses, ana pale faces,
Are such an antiquated scene,
They overwhelm me quite with the spleen. -

And shan expect him at the door,
Exactly when the clock strikes fo,ir.''

Alas and in domestic strife,

A plague so little to be fear'd,

BEAMS IN oTHER PEOPLES EYES.
lFrom the Missouri Republican,

From the &teeouri RepubNoau.l
Not to put tho thing any too broad
ly, we may say it is always well to
have at least an atom Of truth in such
positive declarations as this, which
we find In the Chicago Tribune:
"The robbery of travelers has long
been practised In Mexico, but even
there the progress Of civilization haa
done much to put an end to It. Tho
practice is now. mainly cOnfned to
the state of Missouri. and the gov.
ernor Of that state confines his inter.
ference to firing proclsmstionsi at
long distance requesting the boys In
Missouri not 10 do that thing any
more" '-a - t--.14.iI. slea4.
The simple fact 10 that Just the same
sort of robbery is done all over this
country. The same week the Win.
ston affair occurred In Missouri
gang Of train-robbers endeavored to
wreck train in Kansas, and in quick
succession there were similar attempts
to rob trains in Colorado, California
aud Massachusetts. Is there any dis.
tinction to be made, 80 far az careless
ness Is concerned, between the at
tempts that succeed and those that
fail by accident Only3 ls Missouri to
be blamed any more for the escape Of
train-robbers that succeed In their
robbery than Kansas, Colorado, CAL
if0rnia and Massachusetts for failing
to capture the robbers who are foil.
ed7 If there is to be distinction, we
hold those most blamable who fail to
get the desperadoes that fail 10 their
work, for they have not the reputa-
ton to territy people aud deter pur-
suit that is begotten by success. But
we have not completed the list OF
states that have highwsymen to look
after. New Hampshire reports man
robbed and q coach.losd Of people
stopped on Tuesday. Let the critics
of Missouri remind US when any Of
these five republican states capture
their bandits. The governor Of Mis-
souri, has not confined himself to
firing proclamations at long distances,
bnt he has taken an active personal
part in the measures adopted to effect

state. Nor has his interference been

Is compound of the virtues of sarsaparil-

the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus-

ease which arises from impurity Of the

SARsAPARILLA a fair trial.
1t Is folly to experiment with the numer-
Gus low-priced mixtures, OF cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues, offered as

medicine Of such concentrated curative

The European rabbit has been SO

THE FUTURE MOT0R-P0wER.
lFrom tho Chicago Times J

The steam. engine, that has bean the
means OF revolutionizisg menufactur-
ing and transportation, was spoken of
with q good deal Of disparsgement by
several OF the members of the British
Association for tho Advancement Of
science at the late meeting ct Bath.
Nearly every person who spoke on the
subject gave it q bad name. Il was
stated that it was expensive 70 build,
costly to run, difficult 10 keep In repair.
dangerous to life and property, cum.
bersome, productive OF dirt and noise,
and not adapted to many purposes
where q motor 10 required. In the
opinion OF some, the stesm.engine had
had it's day, and played its part. and
was now ready to be put in Q museum
OF curlosities. They think 1t behind tho
times, and that it should give place to
something better.
These scientific men Of Crest Britain
object to the steam-engiue because IL
does not meet the wants of the present
fast age, because it spends too much
force for the results lt accomplishes.
and for the additional reason that Il
is fast consuming the coal that will be
wanted for heating purposes. They
want better force, more l0comotion,
quicker travel. less expense, and great.
er security. They want something that
will propel canoes 40 well-as ships; that
will run sewing machines - we'll -
trip. hammers; that will draw pleasure
carriages a. we'll As railway cars. They
desire motor that will not consume
fuel, produce smoke, or cause noise;
that can be managed by child and run

Contentment.

When all within is peace,
How nature seems to smilel
Delights that never cease,
The livelong day be9uile;
From morn to dewy eve
With open hand she showers
Fresh blessings 10 deceive
And soothe the silent hours.
1t ia content OF heart,
Gives nature power to please;
The mind that feels no smart
Enlivens all 1t sees;
Can make wintrY sky
Seem bright as smiling May,
And evenings closing eye
AS peep Of early day.
The vast majestic globe.
So beauteously arrayed
In natures various robe,
With wondrous skill displayed;
Is to mourner's heart
A drsary wild at best;
1t nutters to depart.
And longs to be at rest.

Hum an Frailty.

Weak and irresolute is man.
The purpose of to-day,
Woven with pains into his plan,
Tomorrow rends away.
The bow well bent, and smart the spring,
Vice seems already slain;
But passion rudely snaps the string,
And 1t revives again.
Some foe to his upright intent
Finds but his weaker part;
Virtue engages his assent,
But pleasure wins the heart.
'Tis the folly Of the wise,
Though all his art we views
And, while his tongue the charge denies,
His conscience owns it true.
Bound on q voyage of awful length.
And dangers little known;
A stranger to superior strength,
Man valnly trusts his own.
But oars alene san ne'er prevail
To reach the distant coast;
The breath of heaven must swell the sail,
Or all the toll ls lost.
