1t is easy when you know how. An cs-
teemed contemporary is dazed over that
new fad-the game of "Tiddledy winks,'
and undertakes to explain the mystery by
saying that "Any number of players may
engage in the game. Each player takes n
dingcs. The winks are dividol equally,
lik ewise the dufiicities. Take a wink, put
it on the dingus, then by pressing a It'd

Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human calves being
allowed to run ut large in society pastures
without a muzzle on. They have children
before they do mustaches. They are mar
Iied and the father of twins before they
are possessors of two pairs of pants, and
the little girls they marry arc old women
before they are 20. Occasionally one OF
these gosling's marriages turns out all
right, but it is a clear case of luck. II
there was a Law against young g~aloots
sparkling and marrying before they have
cut all their teeth, we suppose the little
cusses would evade it in some way. But
there ought to be a sentiment against it.
1t is time enough for these bantams to
think of finding a pullet when they have
raised enough money to buy a bundle of
lath TO build a hen coop. But they see a
girl who looks cunning, and they are
afraid there will not be enough to go
round, and then they spark real spry, and
before they are aware of he sanctity OF
the marriage relation they Are hitched for
life, and before they W a cook stove or a
bedstead they have got to get up in the
night and go for the doctor, so frightened
that they run themselves out ofbreath and
abuse the doctor because he does not run
too. And when the doctor gets there,
there is not linen enough in the house to
wrap up the baby.-Peorid CdG.

Missing From Home.

The Louisville Commercial of Jan.
7tb, mentions the mysterious disap
pearance from his home 10 that city,
Of Archie K. Bates, sou of the late
Hon. H. S. Bates of Titusville. Ar
chic is well known in Tionesta where
he has been a very frequent visitor,
aud where he has a host of friends
among the young people of our town.
About four months ago be was mar
ried to Banker QOigley's daughter of
Louisville, where he has been living
for a year or more past, having a pc
sitiOn as clerk 10 the office of his
uncle, Will II. May. The CONNER
ciat's report says:
"Their married life has apparently
been a happy oDe and the young peo
pie seemed greatly devoted to each
other. Nothing whatever transpired
to mar their happiness.
100 last Friday afternoon Bates
left the house, saying that he would
return 10 half an hour. Coming up
town he met a friend, aud il is said
they got a cigar in Kick and Jake's
saloon, on Jefferson street. above
fourth. When the friend left him
Bates said he was going home, and he
started 10 that direction. That is the
last that has been seen of hun. A
search has been instigaied, but with.
out avail. At every place that he has
been accustomed to visit inquiry has
been made, but a negative answer is
always the result. No cause can be
given by his friends for his disappear.
ance, except that, a few days previous
to his disappearance from home, he
bad been somewhat respondent, though
nothing was thought of it at the time.
His friends ale unable to offer 40 ex.
PLANTATION for his absence, and they
fear that something serious has befall
en- him.
THE day following his disappear
auce. after an unsuccessful search had
been made for him, Mr.. May tele.
graphed TO his mother in Titusville,
and he received a reply stating that
the young man had not been there.
His wife is almost distracted over his
disappearance"
