Tyler's Second Wife.

A few years ago a friend loaned me q
book containing the "reminiscences of Mr..
Wise. In it he says that he was riding
out n evening with President Tyler,
who informed him that he was going to
marry Miss Gardner.
"Why," said Wise, "she is too young
for you"
Mot at ALL" replied the President,
'T'm still in my prime"
"That reminds me-" continued Wise
80 an old colorcd man down in Vir-
ginia, who was generally consulted by his
old master on any affairs of Importance,
to both. The old master was a widower.
and when he got the consent of a young
lady to marry him he communicated the
fact to the old man. MY sakes,' said
sambo, she is too young for you;' Not
a bit of it, answered the master, Tm
still in my prime 'Yes,' responded
sambo, you are in your prime now, but
wait till she gets in her prime, then
where will your prime be."-Courier
Journal.

Tell Your Wife.

If you arc IN any trouble or quandary,
tell your wife, that is, if you havc one,
al about it at once. Ten to one her in
vention will solve your difficulty sooner
than all your logic. The wit of woman
has been praised, but her instincts are
quicker and kcener than her reason.
Counsel with your wife, or your mother,
or sister, and be assured that light will
flash upon your darkness. Women are
too commonly adjudgcd as vcrdant in all
purely womanish affairs. No philo-
sophical student of the sex thus nd Judges
them. Their intuition or insight, is the
more subtle, and if they cannot see the
cat in the meal there is no cat there. In
connscling one to tell his trouble to his
wife, we would go further, and advise
him to keep zone OF his affairs secret
from her. Many a home has been hap
PLY saved, and many a fortune relieved,
by mans full confidence in his better
half. Woman is far more q seer and a
prophet than man, if she be given a
chance. AS a general rule, wives con-
fde the minutest of their plans and
thoughts to their husbands, having no
involvemcnts to screen from him. Why
not rcciprocate, if but for the pleasure of
meeting confidence with confidence? We
are certain that no man succeeds so we'll
in the world as he. who, taking n partner
for life, makes her the partner of all his
purposes and hopes. What is wrong in
his impulses Or judgment, she will check
and set right with her almost universally
right instincts. "Hclpmeet" was no in
significant title, as applied to mans COM
panion. She is meet help to him In
every darkness, difficulty and sorrow of
life; and what she most Graves and de-
sires is confidence, without which love
is free from a shadow.-Arkansaw

Blackening Their Faces.

Writing from Darjeering to Nature, the
Hon. Ralph Abercrombie says: sThree
cases have come under my personal OBJ
%servation in which brown-skinned ma
tives, in very different parts of the
world, blacken their faces to protect
them from intense light and boat" The
examples he gives are those of the inhabi-
tants of Morocco, as well as of others
along the north of Africa, who blacken
themselves around the eyes to avert
ophthalmia from the glare of hot sand.
The natives of Fiji do the same, and 81
do the natives of the Skim hills, and it
is only reasonable to suppose that a prac-
tice of such wide diffusion, and such
striking similarity, is found useful, i. e.,
protective in the places and under the
contemplated.

Ancient Prohlbitionists.

The Romans under a republic were
prohibitionists after & fashion. Men OF
honorable family were forbidden by Law
to drink wine before the age of thirty,
or to drink wine to excess; while for
women of any condition, free or slave, to
touch wine, except on some solemn oc.
casion as a sacrifice, was an offense visit.
ed % severe penalties. Hence, origin.
ated the custom of girls kissing their
parents on their lips, as a means of dis
covering whether they had been samp.
ling the contents OF the family amphora.
But the Law, as affecting women, was, In
time, 40 fur modified that they were per,
mitted to drink wine made from boiled
must or raisins. - Golden Argosy.

Jamaica Ginger Drunkards:

Georgia newspapers have drawn atten-
ton to the fact that Jamaica ginger has
become. quite popular as a beverage
since the Prohibitionists captured the
state, and the ginger drunkard is becom-
ing an institution.
The Hotel Mail says that while to the
