this city has been quite active since the

tinues to be pretty lively. At present

A Happy Life.

man who has married for love Is Il
happy fellow. He is generally cheerful
and always thinking about the dear ones
at home. He prefers to live out of town
for the sake of his children. He is rarely
late at business. rises early, gardens
little, eats hearty breakfast, and goes to
the necessary labor with Il light heart and
conscience. He often brings home pleas
ant surprises for his wife and children.
You may recognize him IN trains loaded
with parcels, which he good-naturedly
carries with perfect unconcern of what
Others think-a new bonnet. music. books,
cloak for his wife; while in another
parcel the wheels of a cart jack-in-the
box, doll or skipping rope protrude
through the paper, and suggest the nurs-
cry. He is brave and kind, though he
makes no nois in the world. The human
izing influence Of that darling red checked
little fellow who calls him father, brings
a glow and rapture of the purest pleasure
earth holds, for the man who has never
felt tiny hand clasp his will always lack
s0mething-he will be less human less
blessed than others. This is the noble,
the honest, the only form of life that
imparts real contentment and Joy. that will
make the death bed glorious, and love sees
peace through its tears. 1t is so purely
unselfish, SO tenderly true, it satisfies the
highest instincts. 1t stimulates men to
the best deeds they are capable of.

A BRIDAL COUPLE DoUsED.
London Telegraph


A newly married pair, who arrived on
their honeymoon trip at a celebrated
Scotch watering place when accommoda-
ton was at premium, had a mattress
spread for them by compassionate inn
keeper in one of his bath rooms. In the
middle of the night he house was alarmed
by loud screams proceeding from the
nuptial chamber. What was the matter2
Well, this The young BRIDE wishing to
ring for a servant, had caught hold of
what she supposed to be the bell rope and
pulled it sharply. Unhappily for her and
her spouse it was the cord of the
showerbath over their heads, and forth
with down plunged such deluge of cold
water as would throw damper upon the
most devoted honey making couples. Her
husband, in dismay, caught frantically at
another cord on his side of the extern
porized couch. but the only response was
an equally liberal deluge of water, this
time nearly boiling hot. The unhappy
pair then screamed IN unison. When the
servants came they found the floor of the
room flooded with water and the wife was
perched like monkey on her husbands
back, uttering the most lamentable cries,
while her good man was fumbling about
in the dark, trying his best to find the
door.

The Growth of New York City.
From the New York Herald.

The statistics of travel on the omnibus
the surface and the elevated railroad lines
furnish some excellent data with respect
to the growth in population and the com
mercial development Of the city Accord
ing to table just compiled from the
report of the State Engineer, it appears
that the total Number of passengers
transported upon the horse railroads and
omnibuses in 1877 was ia, 492. 831. In
1880 the number of passengers was 1922
32O047, loss of 12,172, 784. In that
year, however, the Sixth and Third avenue
elevated railroads carried SO, Ala, 451 pas
sengers on all lines-omnibus, street car
and elevated railroads, except the Second
and Ninth avenue air lines. in 1880, was
154. 734 ,499, which is equivalent to gain
of 30 per cent. in three years. IT, during
this period, there had been some great
and exceptional demands upon the differ
ent lines of conYeyance-as there was, for
instance, in Philadelphia some months ago
on the occasion of the Penn celebration
these figures would be utterly valueless;
but all the conditions were normal, and
the data must therefore be accepted as one
of the measures of our growth and pro
gress,

Literary Notes.

Mrs. MAYBURN'S TWINS, by John
HabbertOn, author of "Helen'S Babies"
is Il book that will go straight to the
heart of every mother in the land, and
that mamma does not exist who will
not vote il delightful. Natural rs life,
it sVarkleS on every page with delicious
humur, and its occasional patho' is
touching i'm the extreme, while the
style of composition bctrays master
hand. The action covers single day,
but what a busy day it is, and how
crowded with important and realistic
household events. The story is in brief
the diurnal experience of Mrs. Mayburn,
whose husband is loving, but thought
less, and whose children are real flesh
and blood youngsters, at once the Joy
and torment of their mothers life.
Mamma has her hands more than full
with the children, whose pranks at
times almost drive her wild; but, III
addition, the supervision of Bridget, the
help, mending, marketing and getting
ready her husbands meals on the
minute, claim her attention and tax
her patience. 1t is an absorbing and
fascinating story; gem OF the first
water i'm setting that adds vastly to its
attractiveness. Mothers and fathers
especially will find in treat of the
rearest kind. T. Il. Peterson & Brothers.

beloved poet just deceased, extending
over period of forty-tive years.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in an article
entitled "What does Revelation Re-
veal?n seeks to prove that the-obJec-
tons brought against the Bible by
modern unbelievers are based upon
miSeOnception of the true intent and
scope of the sacred volume. Lieutenant
Commander GoTringe writes Of "Ihe
Navy" with abundant knowledge of
its needs, and with a degree of frank
ness almost, ifnOt quite, unprecedented
in the naval service. w. III. MaliOck,
the well-known English eSsayist, i'll the
first of a series Of Conversations with
a Solitary" very ingeniously contrives to
put the advocates of democracy and
modern progress on the defensive.
Finally, Gail Hamilton contributes a
paper, ''The Spent Bullet" in which
science, the pulpit and the law are with
exquisite wit taken to task for the part
they respectively played in the Guiteau-
Garfield tragedy.

THE LOCAL BUSINESS STATUS.

The closing with our report has not
been marked by any unusual features.
Business, in all the various branches,
has been fairly active, and wholesalers
and jObbers report trade as good. Espe-
cially is this so in dry goods. While
orders are small, they are coming IN
rapidly, and in the aggregate amount to
a very large sum. Prices remain firm
and unchanged.
In groceries a good trade has been
done at full prices. Smoked meats
have advanced i@4c. Country produce
is slightly lower, which constitute the
only noticeable changes.
The iron market is weak, and while
prices of nails and other manufactured
articles are unchanged, concessions are
made on round lots. The anticipated
trouble over the new scale of prices, and
the fact that the coal miners of both
Ohio and Pennsylvania are demanding
more pay, has had a tendency to check
production, and no new orders are being
placed.
Money is easy and plenty, and the
banks are accommodating customers at
5(a.7 per cent for strictly gilt-edged pa
per, and none other is offered.

CURRENT THOUGHTS.
DIR. ELLIOTT'S CONSULSHIP.
Albany Journal.

We hope it is not true that an effort is
being made in Washington to have DIR.
Elliott recalled from the consulship to
which lie was recently appointed. The
oflicemay carry with it noineonsiderab!e
dignity, but its duties are doubtless en-
tirely within the compass ofJhe Doctors
ability. For he would be 4 very stupid
man who could not perform the simple
clerical work required of consul or
even Of a charge d. affairs. The work of
neither office is half as complicated as
that of village editor, and the duties
of many of our foreign ministers sink
into insienificance when cOntrasted
with the diplomatic skill and cunning
required to successfully run 4 ward
caucus. We hope the Doctor will not be
recalled.
