THE GIRL WITH THE CALICO DRESS. A fig f-r your npper-ten girls. With their velvets and sarins and laces, Their diamonds and rubies and pearls, And their milliner figures and faces; Tin y nicy shine at a party or ball, Kniblazoned with half they possess, Bat give me in place of them all My girl with the calico draas. She is plump as a partridge, and fair As the rose in its earliest bloom, Her teeth will with ivory compare. And her breath with the clover perfume, Her step is as free nnd as light As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press And her eye is as soft and as bright, My girl with the calico dress. Your dandies and foplings may sneer At her simple and modest attire, Bat the charms she permits to appear Would set a whole iceberg on fire ! She can dance, but she never allows The hugging, the squeeze nnd caress, She is saving all these for her spouse, My girl with the calico dress. She is cheerful, warm-hearted and true, And kind to her father and mother, She studies how much she can do For her iwcet little sisters and brother; If you want a companion for life, To comfort, enliven and bless, She is just the right sort of a wife, My girl with the calico dress. A CALIFORNIA WIFE. We have been told that when John Hig ler, late Governor of the State of California, was a member of the State Legislature, Mrs. lligler, his wife, absolutely washed the clothes of the honorable gentleman for so much a dozen. At the time of his election. Bigta w;i- very p or, and his per diem was hardly enough for himself and his wife to live on in those j rodigml tines. To make both ends meet, and savo something against a rainy day, Madame lligler put her should er to the wheel as above related. Now, won't this be rather startling to the pale-faced attenuated damsel of the East, who scream and taint B the sight of a wash tub or a cob web. Think of it. The wife of an ex-goxernor, with her sleeves mid gown tucked up, bending over the aras-h tub, while her has band with his clean diek y standing upright chafing his ears, rose to a question of privilege, "Mr. Sp aker ! Mr. S-p-e-a-k-e-r !" And think of the e.-wash-er-woinan being feted, three years after, as the wife of the Governor of California, worth $l,.rO0,(H);) money enough to make the heads of universal mobdom duck and dive like a-.i affrighted water-fowl in a stem ! Good for the IVnn.-ylvania Dutch girl. Five hundred years hence when the histo rian lifts the veil from the catacombs of the past and write the history of the unforgot ton dead, he may, perh.tps, append this little episode to the history of one of Cali fornia's Governors, and the little ragged girls that Then go down to dip water from the liio Sacramento, may think better of their mothers who have to labor, because a long time ago Mrs. lligler, the Governor's wife, rilh-d her wash tubs from this noble river rhese are the pioneer women of Califor nia ; there are man- such, as strong willed and as true, who quail nt at their own f t steps in the woods, whose hearts swell with hope at The banging of the hammer And the creaking of the crnne. Two Scotchmen thus discoursed: I say, I Seorgie, man, I hear thou's been makin' a fule o' theeself." "Ah, man, I've gotten a wife." 44 Why, did'nt ye know Pve dun that same thing meself.' What kind o1 body hast thmt gotten.'" 44 A parfed deeval, man, a parfect doevaL" HBBaaah me, man, 1 wislt mine war ua warse than that." 44 Warse than that," responded (ieorgie, 44how can she le warse than that Isn't lleelzebub the warst erittur a man could hare for an akwentence in this world f1 ''Nought o' the kind, man nought o' the kind. Did'nt ye knaw that the Bible says (and tho'i knawest it c;in not le wrong) to 'Renal the deeval, and he'll flee from you; but bleas thy aoaT simple lad, if ye resist my wife, she'll flee right at ye." W Not long since Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered a lecture, in which he tok the ground that the people of New England were degenerating for want o limestone out of which to manufacture the necessary bone and muscle. The Albany Allan disputes the theory of Dr. Holmes. The editor says that the trouble with the men of New England is, "that thev are (like .-harks) running all to head, and the head running all to mouth." "When doctors disagree w ho shall decide.'" Extract from a poem just published in Euglund : Farewell, Torrengower ! nnd Ganawarra ! Farewell, Wara Itnrjurg ! and Irrawarru ! Farewell, Ban a Hurra ! Poliah ! Morang ! Farewell, Merrimingo! and thee Hurnewang ! And thee, llooroondara ! and GooaamBbae ! Farewell, Xnrab Xarab ! and Hinuainongy ! And Wimmera plains, by Tongoouiungie ! If it Is all like the foregoing, the poHm must be a rich and ingenious work a sort o'high art production. High Southern Ground. Captain Jones, United States Army, a Virginian by birth, stationed not long since at Benecia, California, had with him as body servant a slave named Joe. One morning the Cap tain was startled by the news of Joe's hav ing shot another negro, and sternly asked him how he dared to do so. Joe seemed at first east down, but rallying himself and looking the Captain full in the face, replied "I)e fact is, massa, dat ar nigger was one of dm New York free niggers. He'sulted me, and I had to take high tudron ground wid him." A Finn Place to Ltae. According to fluniboldt there is a tree in the South Sea Islands which produce ready made shirts.

LeffRIJK AKD DIFT0N, OCULISTS AND ARTISTS. rR, LbBRUN offers to those suffering from L Deafness his inlalliable Aural Kennedies, which have been successful in nearly three thousand cases of confirmed Deafness. These remedies have bee: pronounced by Drs. Kbra mer, of Berlin itard and Ueleau, of Paris; and Curtis I ilcher and Ye irsly , of Lond. n, as the irtoSt wonder uf ever applied for diseases of the internal and middle ear. They comprise dif ferent courses for li e various diseases that affect the externa!, internal and middle ear. If the disease is confined to the external ear, their effects are apparent on the fifth or sixth day. Dr. LeBrnn warrants a cure in every case, when the ear is perfect in its formation. He has eighteen certificates from those who have Leen deal from h.lancy, whose hearing is now completely restored, and they are now i nabled to learn thelangaage. Over twenty seven hundred cases of deafness h.ve been successfully healed by him. Certificates to that effect may be seen on application. In nervous affections, infl . tarnation anil mu ous accumulation in the Eustachian Tube and Tympanum, thieUening and inflammation of the Membiana Tytapaui or "drum," Otorrhoea or discharges of malter from the Auditory (.'anal; when the deafness has been produeec by Scai let, Typhus, Bilious, or Remiitent Fe ver, Colds, use of Quinine or M urcurial Medi cines, M ums, gatherings in the Ears, etc., or when it is accompanied with noiss like fall ing water, chirp ng of insects, whizzing of steam, rustling of leaves, ringing ot bells, pulsa;ions, etc.. etc., the disease can be radi cally and permanently cured. Lr. Dufton is the only practitioner in the United state s who piactices the new, pain less, and successful method in treating all the diseases to which the Eye is subject. Where every o:her ma ns nas fail- d to afford relief, he asks from su- h a air and impartial tril. TESTIMONY. Thj nndersiKwe,; practitioners of Medicine in the city of New York, having had occasion to w.tness the practice of Drs. LeBrun & Iiul ton, in diseases oJ the Ear and Eye, laying aside all professional j a.ousy, Ireely adn.it that the course pursued by them in treating diseases of these dlecate organs, from the un daralleied success attending it, is well worthy the attention of our professional brethren throughout the United States, believing as we do, that Aural Suigery has not met with that attention which its importance demands. Their system of treating dist ases of the middle and internal Ear, in chronic or com plicated cases by means of "Medicated Va p ;rs," forms a new era in thepractice of Aural Surgery, and fills up a void which has long been felt by the general practitioner. In dis. eases of the Eye, they s. , o,n require to resort to an operation. As skillful Artists and Oc uiists, enthusiastically tievoted to their pro fession, we cordially recommend them to such as require their aid. Signed, WILLIS MORTON, M. D. V. D. MOTT, M. D. C. A.
