Graceful Compliment to a Wife,

The following neat and beau
tiful reply was made by the late
Daniel O'Connell in response
to a toast given in compliment
to his wife, who was the object
of his long attachment. 1t was
given at a political meeting.
The English language could
furnish nothing more touchingly
tender and graceful:
"There are some topics Of so
sacred and sweet a nature that
they may be comprehended by
those who are happy, but they
cannot possibly be described
by any human being. All that
l shall do is to thank you in the
name of her who was the disin-
terested choice of my early
youth; who was the ever cheer
full companion of my manly
years; and who is the sweetest
solace of "that sere and yellow
leaf" age at which I have ar
rived. In her name l thank
you; and this you may readily
believe, for experience 1 think
will show to US all that man
cannot battle and struggle with
malignant enemies unless his
nest at home is warm and COM
fortable-unless the honey of
human life is presented by a
hand that he loves"

Helping the Party.

In the days gone by, a De-

close shave of being elected,
had the ill-luck to lose a pris-

hauled him about eight miles
out and drove him under a

Social Winter Nights.

To give at least the hours
between dark and day
light" to the family is with
in the power Of almost every
body. To sit around the FIRE
and tell stories, to talk over the
events of the day, to find out
what each one of the family has
thought about most of that day
is all enjoyable and instructive.
In one home of whose inner
workings l know something it
is the usual practice, and unless
interrupted by visitors, each
one in turn makes up" a story;
sometimes each one takes the
same subject; sometimes lin
tied time is given to each, and
he must fill that time with the
story he manufactures for the
occasion. This is not only
pure fun; but the correct use OF
language is taught in the best
possibly way. Another inter
esting amusement is to trace
the association of ideas; it has
a fascination for children, and af-
ter a very little practice they
will tell with accuracy and de-
light how they came to think OF
this thing and that. l fancy
that children who go out of
homes in which they have been
the intelligent companions of
father and mother, will not only
be better prepared to express
their thoughts, but really to
have something to express.
They well less easily be in
fluenced and carried about by
divers strange doctrines.

That Mexican Sugar Scheme.

N. Y. Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger
There is some inquiry in fin
ancial and railway circles to-day
as to the american capitalists"
which Mexican dispatches an
nounce have just purchased the
Morelos railroad, the charter
for which was granted by the
Mexican government some three
years ago, with a view of devel-
oping the..alleged rich sugar dis
trict through which It's to run,
but nobody here seems to have
any information on the subject.
Gen. Grant the Mexican Consul
and other gentlemen in a posi-
ton to be well informed, all
disclaim any knowledge of the
transactions, and if the Gamer
lean capitalists are not abso-
lutte myths, therefore, they must
be looked for in some other
city than New York. The road
in question is 1870 miles in length
with 90 miles already complet-
ed. The government subsidy
promised is SI,oS,ooo. The
sugar plantations in the district
are roughly valued at s5,z5o,-
900, but the population is quite
SPARSE.
