TraSt Her.

Confidence is everything between
husband and wife; and woman
loves and desires above all things to
be trusted. She would not be ig-
nored of his troubles or his anNieties.
Anything is better to her than to he
shut out from the innermost of the
life of one who should be all hers and
she all his. Women, generally, are
averse to keeping things to them
selves, and husband is often over
dosed with condolences; but many
really affectonatc men lead, as far
as their wives are concerned, a dou-
BILE life. OF that which is not do
mestic they think it right TO say Moth
ing. Some grievous troubles may be
upon tnem-dread of failure, certain=
ly of loss, remorse for some mistake
which has plunged them into anxiety;
and they make no sign of it save by
q change of manner, which to the
women who are ignorant that they
have many cares is incomprehensi-
ble.,. s@
The wife would be sympathetic,
but when frowning bros, silence and
lack of the usual caresses are all the
token she has of her liege lords trou-
BILE, all her boasted intuition cannot
keep her from flying to the conclusion
that it is personal mattsr-that she
is no longer loved, or that, he loves
some one else. And ! believe much
domestic misery has been caused in
the first place by the mans secre-
tiveness when he had no secrets which
might not have been shared by his
wife. You may say, why should he
talk to one who cannot understand or
give counsel-to being with such
vague ideas of stocks and banking
and speculation that she can only
wonder why things have gone wrong?
Well, there are many reasons: The
woman who holds him dear will give
him more sympathy than any other
living being, for one thing; and he
needs sympathy whether he knows it
or not. And then she has her rights,
for she is partner in firm of two,
and the books should not be closed to
ther. She is mate of the vessel in
which he is captain. and surely
should know what shoals are near ;
and, moreover, if you love her you
do not want to make her miserable.
Trust her.

Love In q Graveyard.

A Saratoga correspondent writes:
Right near the grave of Chancellor
Walworth sat two of the lovingest
lovers in Saratoga-young, sentimen-
tai and gushing. They have been
engaged the last two weeks. Passing
behind the monument with Mr.. Pal
merston, the venerable old sexton, 1
heard the following conversation from
these melting lovers, almost too full
for utterance. I give it literally:
''Angel, pet!"
"What, Charley!'
''Whae awful poetry on the grave
stones, lovey!"
"What, sweetie?"
81 said what awful verses on the
gravestones, darling!"
"Oh, did you, my own?"
"Yes, ducky, listen!'
sHere lies the wife Of Robert REGULAR,
He walked the ways of God perpendicu-
lar"
"Oh, my!"
| Then came q long pause. He was
holding her hand in one of his, while
the other whipped his pantaloons leg
with cane. Then the pause was
interrupted by:
"Oh, sweetle!" .~,--
"What, Charley?'
such queer gravestones!"
"Such queer what, darling!"
81 said what strange poetry on thu
gravestenes." - -.-. ..
"Oh, did you, pet?''
"Yes, angel; look at that one
"Forty years maiden,
One year wife,
Two months mother,
And that took her life"
''Oh, Charley" .-
| That is just what they said.

Fish Stories.

By Capt. Frost, Of Mexico, Mo.
Fishing through the ice for smelts
is a thriving industry at Damariscota,
Me. More than one hundred houses
built upon the ice shelter the fisher
men. Most all of them have a little
stove in which fire is maintained,
and there all day long the fisher sits
with his lines dropped through a hole
in the ice inside his house.
In pond near Easton a catfish
about three inches long was seen
evading black bass. The catfish
finally got his head well sheltered un-
der q stone. The bass after several
futile attempts 10 dislodge it, at last
took the catfish by the tail, drew it
out, swan leisurely around several
times, and then, giving IT Sudden
toss, caught it by the head.
Joseph Shelby of Grass Valley,
Ohio, drew an old stump from his
pond recently, and, as he pulled it
ashore, some young catfish dropped
from it. More than three hundred
catfish were slowed away in the
stump, packed as close as sardines in
q box, with their heads all pointing
in the same direction. The fish had
apparently taken up winter quarters
in the stump, The little fellows were
all alive and were returned TO their
native element. s=s =. e.
Fishermen from Buffalo recently
discovered remarkable fishing
ground in Birch lake, Mich Baited
hooks dropped through holes cut IN
the ice were ravenously seized, and
thirty fine piekerel were taken in l2
minutes. The diseoverers got men
and fishing apparatus, and thousands
of fish were taken in day. Now
more than 500 men are employed. and
pickerel are being carried away by
the ton. The transportation to the
railway is serious undertaking, as
the distance is great. Trains a,e
made up, consisting of thirty to forty
teams, carrying provisions aud fuel
for the journey, which takes them
several days. At Beaumont, the fish
are loaded into ears and shipped
East. AT Buffalo they are packed
in boxes and barrels.

The Boy Who Steed On the Burning
' Deck.

Deck.
Owen Casabianca was native of
Corsica, on which island he was born
in the year 1888. His father was
Louis Casabianca, q distinguished
French politician and naval comman-
der, and the friend of Napoleon. He
was captain at this time of the
Orient, one of the largest vessels in
the French navy, a magnificent ship
of-war, carrying 120 guns and 500
seamen. OF Casabianca's mother we
know little, save that she was a
young and beautiful Corslcan lady,
and devotedly attached to her son.
Owen was her only child, hand
some, manly little fellow, with her
beauty in his flashing eyes and dusky
hair. She died while he vas yet
quite young, and when the green sod
was placed over her grave, the boy
left the pleasant valley under the
smiling hills Of Corsica to 60 with his
father and tread the hard deck of a
war vessel. Mere child as he was,
Casabianca soon grew to love his
fathers dangerous calling, and be-
came favorite with all on board.
He was made midshipnan, and al
