TKE TWO OhD BACHELORS.

Two old bachelors were living in one house,
One caught muffin, the other caught mouse.
Said he who caught the muffin TO him who caught
the mouse:
Z" This happens just in time, for we've nothins in
the house,
Save a tiny piece of lemon, and a tsaspoouful of
honey;
And what to do for dinner-since we haven't any
money,
Aad what can We expect if We haven't any din
ner,
But to lose our teeth and eyehshes end keep on
growing thinner"
SAID the one who caught the mouse to hum who
" We might cook the little mouse If Nc only Lad
some stufin'
II had but sage and onion we could do extremely
But how to get that stufn it is difficult to tell"
These two old bachelors ran quickly to the towA
And asked for sage and orions they wandered up
and down.
They borrowed two large onions, but no sage was to
be found,
In the shops or in the market, or in all the gardens
round.

And pull him down and chop him into endless little

Those two old bachelors, without airy loss of
time.
The nearly perpendicula- crags at once began to
climb,
And at the top, among the rocks, all seated in a

book.
'You earnest Sage" aloud they cried, ''your book

At these two bachelors bald heads a sudden aim

I'm EDITOR.

Editor Watterson, in the Louisville
Courier Journal, speaks as follows about
conducting newspaper: "Some peo-
pie estimate the ability of periodical
and the talent of its editor by the guam
ity of its original matter. 1t is COM
paratively an easy task for frothy
writer to string out column of words
upon any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, everiast-
ing flood, and the command of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them
together like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be but meager and poor
concern. Indeed, the mere writing part
Of editing paper is but small portion
of the work. The care, the time en-
ployed in selecting, is far more import
ant, and the fact OF. good editor is bet
ter shown by his selections than any
thing else; and that, we know, is half
the battle. But, we have said, an editor
ought to be estimated, his labor under
stood and appreciated, by the general
conduct Of bis paper-its tone, its uni
form, consistent course, aims, manhness,
its dignity, and its propriety. To pre-
serve these as they should be preserved
is enough to occupy fully the time and
attention OF any man. If to this be add
ed the general supervision of the de-
tails Of publication which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is how
they find time to write at all"

Fancy Cooks.

Whenever q New York family acquires

fed in engaging chef, whose salary in
private houses Is from $4,000 to So, 600,
and from $4,000 to 5000 at clubs, req
taurants and hotels. A fine French
cook, so called-many of the French
cooks are really Swiss or Ital.al~ can
command better wages than journalist
u literary man and in a certain way he
exercises much more personal and So
cial Influence. He is great power. g
thorough autocrat in mis- immediate
sphere, and those who introduce him in
to their houses must treat him With su,
preme respect and delicacy, lest he
abandon them, as he would put it, to
desolation and indigestion forever. He
resents the slightest suggestion as an
impertinence and an interference, and
refuses in most cases to permit even the
head of the household to cross the con.
fines of his culinary dominions.

I'd condescend to such means, Td-Pd
drown myself"
In this last amiable speech the young
lady had unwittingly hit upon the true
motive. The widow was intent upon
catching Elder Boyd, and she INDUCED
in costly bonnet, not because she sup
posed the elder would be caught with
finery, but because this would strength
en- in his mind the idea that she had
stumbled upon hidden wealth. The
widow calculated shrewdly, and the dis
play had the effect she anticipated.
Monday afternoon, the elder found an
errand that called him over to the
widows. 1t CHANGED to be just about
tea-time. He was importuned to stay to
tea, and, somewhat to his own surprise,
actually did.
The polite widow, who knew the eld-
er's weak point, brought one of her best
mince pies, piece of which her guest
partook of with zest.
'1You'n take another piece, I know"
said she persuasively.
REALLY, I am ashamed" said the eld-
er; but he passed his plate. "The fact
is" he said apologetically, "your pies
are so nice I don't know when to stop. I"
EDO you call those nice?" said the
widow, modestly. 81 call them COM

81 shouldn't want any better" said
the elder, emphatically.
GsThor T hov,a if Won lilo fhor, vyoYr
will drop in to tea often. We ought to
be more neighborly, Elder Boyd"
Elder Boyd assented, and he meant
what he said. The fact is, the elder
began to think that the widow was ver)
charming woman. She was very comedy,
and then she was such On excellent
cook. Besides, he had no doubt In his
own mind that she was worth consid-
cradle sum Of money. What objection
could there be to her becoming Mrs.
Boyd? He brought this question be-
fore her one evening. The widow blushed,
protesting to be greatly surprised. In
fact, she had never thought Of such
thing in her life, but, on the whole, she
had always thought highly of the elder,
and, to cut the matter short, she ac-
cepted him. A month afterward she
was installed as mistress of the elders
large house, somewhat to the surprise
Of the village people, who could not con-
ceive how she had brought him over.
Some weeks after theceremony, the eld-
er ventured to inquire about the pot of
gold which she had found in the cellar.
"Pot of gold !" she exclaimed, in sur
prise; "I know of none"
But" said the elder, disconnected,
"you asked me about whether the law
could claim it"
sob, Lor', elder, I only asked for Gu
riosity."
"And was that The reason you made
inquiries at the bank?"
Certainly! What else could it be?
The elder went out to the barn, and
for half an hour sat in silent meditation.
At the end of that time he calculated,
as closing consideration
CATER al, she makes good mince
pies"
It gives me pleasure to state that the
union between the elder and the widow
proved very happy one, although to
the end of his life he could never make
up his mind about the 'sPot of Gold"

TEE SORROWS OF SINGERS.

The lot of the famous singer is moi
always happy one. From the days OF
Maibran, who was in America over a
half century ago, to those of poor
Christine Nilsson, trouble and sorrow
have spared none of the great singers
who have been popular idols. The most
lucky Of these isJenny Lind, who retired
on a fortune before her voice failed, and
who leads happy domestic life in Lon
don. But AIalibran when young married
arascal, and, although her second mar
riage was not unfortunate, she lived but
very short time after it. Her contem-
porary and rival, Mile. Sontag, married
an italian Count and entered fashionable
life, retiring from the stage when quite
young. But her Count was also rascal,
who squandered all her money i'll gam
bling, and she had, when nearly 30 years
old, to resume her artistic career, which
was brilliant to the last. But her hus-
band was jealous as well as aspendthrift,
and when she died in Mexico there were
suspicious that she and the handsome
tenor Pozzolipi were both poisoned.
Mile. Grisi, who was the acknowledged
grandest dramatic singer Of her time,
welded q man whom she did not love
and who was not worthy Of her. and she
made a scandal by leaving him for the
arms of the equally famous tenor, Mario.
Mile. Alboni, probably the grandest con-
tralto singer that ever appeared in pub
lie, was married for the fortune in her
voice by an italian Count, but the mar
riage was not happy one, and they
lived apart for some years. He did not,
however, squander her money, aud when
he died she lost no time in becoming
the wife Of a French subaltern officer,
much younger than herself, who loves
her fortune devotedly, and makes him
self generally disagreeable to those that
rent houses or apartments Of hers in
Paris.
Missions husband, NJ. Rouzaud, is
said to have inherited insanity from his
family, and he was literally madly In
love with her when he persuaded her to
become his wife. He was crazy, too,
about stock speculations, ard, after
gambling all his own and his wife's
fortune away on the Bourse, he 6ied in
a mad-house. Another great singer,
Mile. Hebron, who was pet of Paris
some years ago, married q French Count,
and lost through him all that she had in
the crash of the Union Generate. She
is now compelled, after having lost the
freshness of her voice, to return to the
stage. Everybody knows how Adeiina
Patti threw herself away on poor old
French Marquis, from whom she fed
after he had enriched himself out of her
earnings, and how she has thrown her
self away in another manner with Signor
Nicolini. Adelins Is reported, by a
Western interviewer, to have said, also,
that her sister Carlotta's husband is
bad fellow, who spends all his wife
makes in gambling.
These are only few examples; more
might be given to illustrate the facility
with which popular singers, who can
earn from $500 to S., 900 night, sacri-
fee themselves on the altar of Hymen,
who must be a very mercenary kind Of
divinity. Philadelphia Bulletin.

Near the Crater of vesuyius.

Arriving az the edge of the 1872 crater
from the west, one crosses the crater PLAIN
and arrives at low semicircular ridge with
an average height of about twenty feet As
cending this rim-like heap Of scoria one
observes occupying its irregular bot
tom fumaroles and yellow patches
of decomposing lava. The complies crater
of July is formed of this ridge, together
with the southern portion of the former
cone of eruption. Within this space rose
another cone of eruption, whose center was
occupied by the main vent. On this occa-
sion 1t was possible to approach within a
few yards of the great mouth. from
which issued the column of vapor and
momentary puts OF fluid lava frag-
ments. Thus it viii be seen that there are
at present three cones and craters one with
in the other. This, however. was not the
most interesting point In the lava OF the
great plain we discovered q large cone or
lava tunnel about eight feet high, twenty or
thirty feet long and fifteen feet broad but
with a general slope downward. The
roof was composed of lava about
eight months old, but much decom-
posed. The whole cave presented one
gliSteniDg forest OF stalactiteS, some 800
about were counted; also stalagmites Most
OF these We're from two to three feet long,
and few twice that length, many, how
ever with uniform diameter Of less than
by septa, reminding one OF an Orthoceras
in structure. The colOrs most various
and beautiful; bird's -egg blue, aqua marine,
salmon white, yellow, and reddish
brown, and many variegated in these
coiors. The effect after the eyes quitting
the rugged and fierce scenes around seemed
to rest on some fairy cave. On attempting
TO approach the entrance the gust Of hot air,
redundant with hydrochlcric acid vapor,
almost prevented one from making
an attempt at an entrance How
ever, these beautiful and interesting
prizes determined me to make an en-
deayor. Nose and mouth mufiled, and hay
| ing placed my friends on each side of the
entrance with strap, l made dive down
some steps. The effect was at first almost
suffocation, singing of the conjunctiva,
and profuse perspiratiOn. To grab few

was the work of minute, then the hearty
pull up by my friends, fit of cough

me. This was repeated eight times,
during which | was able to obtain all the
best specimens, some thirty examples, and
