The farmer sat in his old arm chair, Rosy and fair, Contented there. 44 Katie, I declare," He said to his wife who was sitting near, We need not fear The hard times here, Though the lenf of life is yellow and !vn. 4 I'm the kint, and you the queen, Of this fair scene, 'i hese f elds of green And gold between, rheso cat! le grazing upon the hill, Taking their fill.

" Unvcxcd with shifting of stocks and shares, And bulls and bears, Stripes and cares, And the'affalrs Of Speculation In mart and street, In this retreat Sweet ieace can meet With plenty on her rural beat." NIGHT AND MORNING- It was a wild and windy night, and the light snow filled the air with fine cutting particles a night when a good warm fire aud the so ciety of friends becomes vitally es sential to a man's comfort and his happiness. Margaret Edgarton arose from her seat by the scanty fire, and opening the door looked out upon the night. She stood a moment, and then, with a shudder, closed the door and returned to her hus band's side. Heaven pity those who are ex posed to the storm this night," she said fervently. "Amen 1" respond ed her husband, In a solemn voice. "Though we are very poor, Marga ret, there are many poorer than ourselves." ..,, . The man raised his dark, serious eyes devoutly upward, and the fair, youthful head of his palo wife drooped to his shoulder. Yes, William, but I tremble for the future. Thq rent due, and our stav here only at the mercy of our landlordoh, Willie l v The feeble voice broke down In tears.

After A few. common place remarks, the stranger said I : , "It's a rough night, friends, and Poetry.

Gone, and when or howT they could not Imagine, but gone he certainly was. Thev wondered over the circum stance; but, In the trouble and an xiety of their utter destitution, tne Btrange man was soon dismissed from their thoughts, to make room for their own immediate difficul ties. ' Ten o'clock was the time given them by the landlord for the re moval, and with heavyhearts they prepared to go. Through the kind ness of a neighbor they had been allowed the use of a building for the storage of their little furniture, and a room in his house until Mr. Edgarton's health should be suf ficiently re-established' to admit of his performing some light ' manual labor. Nine o'clock came at last but one short hour of home life re mained to them. Fifteen minutes later there came a quick, impera tive knock at the door of Mr. Ed garton's house. Mrs. Edgarton went to answer the call, when a well-dressed man put a package in to her hand, and hastily turned. away. 1 ",i The package was addressed in a bold, masculine hand : 44 Mr, .Wil liam Edgarton." , . , The husband tore it open and there dropped out two papers, one having an official and the other a private seal. He -examined the former, and found it to contain a deed, conveying to him and his heirs a certain piece of land, with a commodious house thereon, and its appurtenances. Transfixed with surprise, he broke the seal of the private letter, and a 100 note met his eyes, accompanied with these brief words : 44 Last night you freely gave your all to a poor and destitute wayfarer, who now begs you to accept the accompanying deed and money, in reward of noble kindness. A con veyance will come immediately i to take you to your new residence. When you are fairly established there, your friend, the writer of this,' will be pleased to call on yOU. . ; - . i !

' V That was a hamir dav for Mr. and Mrs. Edgarton. It was also a happy day for the charitable Jir. Morgan, and no doubt the angel who records the eood deeds or man. wrote many a shining line against his name that dav. William Ed garton assumed the post offered him iu ins euiuiisiiiuiuv, Hnu iaiuuuuj were his duties discharged, and more than satisfied was his em ployer. Mrs. Edsrarton grew to be the merriest, blithest little woman, to be found anywhere. Mr. Morgan spends many a de lightful evening at their house, holding their bright-eyed little Howard on his knee, and telling him pleasant stories of the great and good. Blessed be charity. Miscellaneous: A Model Wife. A popular essayist', writes' as fol lows : " ' . " ,'" 44 A? I went up the . new Massa rnnd the other dav I met a raesred. stout and rather dirty woman.with a large shallow basKet on ner neaa.

How .roust the world look to a man in a basket, riding about on his wife's head? She put him beside the road. In the sun, and almost in danger of passing Ve hicles.

It is at lea-t a new commentary on the apostolic remark that the mail is the head of the woman.1 - A Mistake All Around. A farmer living near Washing ton. N. J.. was awakened early one morning by the noise of some one entering his horie. Spring from his bed he's dliexl oit ti nieet the ntruder, and as he entered the citchen he saw the form of a man itanding in the room. Determined to defend his Drotertv ftt all hn- krds, he called to his hired man; who slept in ah adjoining room,and seizihgf a chair aimed a deadly blow at the burglar's head. -The dark ness interfered with his aim, and the chair struck the upper part of a door, and splintering to pieces,rell at his feet. Before he could recover himself, the hired man made his appearance, and mistaking his em ployer for the burglar who had suddenly disappeared struck him with another chair and knocked him down. Lights were soon pro duced and the" whole family arous ed, when it was discovered that the supposed burglar was an employee, on the same farm, who had been out on a 44 sparKing" i expedition, and had endeavored to gain access to his room without awaking the family. His employer informed him, as he caressed the bruise on his body, that hcreefber ' he should take a night-key or h keep better honrs.

" Happy woman ! , Expression of the pje-hrot The eye-brows are a part of the face comparatively but .little no ticed, though in disclosing the sen timent of the roind scarcely any other features 6f the face can come into competition. In vain the most prudent female imposes silence on her tongue; in vain fehe tries , to compose the face and eyes ; a single movement of the eyebrows instant- 'ly discloses what passing in her, soul. .Placed upon me sain, u attached to the muscles which move them in every. 0; ration, the eye brows are obedient, in consequence of their extreme nobility, to the siighest internal impulses. Their majesty, pride, vanity, severity, kindness, the dull aud gloomy pas sion soft and g-ay, are alternately depicted. "The . -e-brows alone," said Lavater, the prince of physi ognomists, "often give the most positive expression of the charac: ter." "Fart or ts soui," snys Pliny, the elder, -resiues in me. eye-brows, 'vhich moves at the command of the wiii."

A Plucky Wom an. , When Patrick Cahill was ar raigned before 'Justice Del mar,, in Brooklyn,' his wife, Mary, said that he abandoned her and her two chil dren in Ireland twenty years ago. After their marriage there he lived with her four or five years, and then he took a little trip to Eng land. She received a letter from him, saying that he, was going to America, and - that she :would see hinvno more. . She did not believe his story nd Went to England to search v for him.

Unfounded Suspicion Punish , cd ,i.t . A lady in Marquette, iMich., sus pected that her husband was in the habit of kissing Katy, the cook, and resolved 'to detect him in the act. After watching for days she heard him come in one evening and quietly pas into the kitchen. ow, Katy was out that evening, and tho kitchen was dark. Burn ing with jealousy, the' wife took some matches in her hand and hasti ly placed her shawl over her head, as Katy sometimes did, entered the kitcheji by the back door, and was almost immediately seized and embraced in the most ardent man ner. With-her heart almost burst ing with rage and . jealousy the in jured wife prepared to administer a terrible rebuko to her faithless spouse. Tearing herself from his embrace, she struck a. match aud stood face' to face with the hired man. Her husband says that his wife has never treated him so well since the first month they were married as stic.has for the past few days. Dangerous AVealth. The London G7o6e says: "It is said that among the pos sessions inherited by the present Duke of Richmond was found a bank note for 50,000. This unique piece of fpptHKuoney, whose exis tence we have no doubt, was pre served wuh great caution, and by means which must have been a source of peril to friends and foes. YTe are informed that the late Duke caused the note to be deposited in a casket, and this casket was so fast ened that any one who attempted to handle it at once received six pistol shots. The ingenius casket, we are tqld, became a burdensome possession to the present Duke. His ancestors had not transmitted to him the secret by which it might be opened with afety, and he Was therefore not unnaturally timid in the examination 'of his treasury. Under these circumstances we are not surprised to learn that he final ly determined to deliver the casket and its contents to the Bank of England, "and 'to. investigate the in-gf-nuUy or the terrible contrivance. The duties of property would even ho In excess of its rights if every inheritance were "tied up" in una way At Tit k Centenniai,.

Whether this latter Idea be correct or not cannot well be determined but it is certainly a curious coinci dence that t the governments who have been ther,most hearty in , ac ceptance haye.leen most prominent in building these elegant fittle structures- These are the British government, the German empire, the Spanish kingdom, the Brazilian, the Swedish, and the Japanese countries. , The Austrian bakery is, I am informed, a private enterprise, and there will be no government building'erected for the represen tatives of the kaiser.

Origin of Mahogany Furniture. About the eighteenth ccnturva West India captain brought some mahogany logs as a ballast for his ship, and gave them to his brother, who was then building a house. The wood was thrown aside as too hard for the workmen's tools. Some time afterward his wife wanted a candle box. The Dr. thought of the West Indian wood, and ont of that tho box was made. Its color and polish tempted tho Dr. to havo a bureau of the same material, and this was thought so beautiful that it was shown to all his friends. Tho Duchess of Buckingham, who camo to look at it, begged wood enough to make another bureau for herself. Then the demand arose for more, and Honduras mahogany becamo a common article of trade. Narcotics. Sleep produced by narcotics or so- called sedatives, says the London lAincet. is poisoned. Their uso gives the persons employing them an attack of cerebral congestion,on- ly dmering in amount, not in kind. from tho condition which naturally issues in death. There is grave reason to fear that the real naturo of the operation by which these de leterious drugs, one and all, bring about the unconsciousness that bur lesques natural sleep, is lost sight of, or wholly misunderstood, by those who have free recourso to poisions on the most frivolous pre tenses, or with none savo the exi gency of morbid habit. Great re sponsibility rest on medical prac titioners, and nothing can atone for t!ie neglect of obvious duty. How he Weighed his Wife. -The Lewiston (Maine) Journal has discovered the method and thus reveals it: She is a woman weighing, it was supposed, about 250 iiounds, but her husband could not induce her to be weighed, so the other day ho was out driving with his wife and drove up to Mr. 'Dorman's store in Auburn. Tho wife did not notice that the team stood on Mr. Dorman's hay scales. While he was talking with a gen tleman at the door, his whole team was being weighed. Ho then drove over to Lisbon street and Jeft his wife to do some shopping. Then he drove back to Mr. Dorman's hay scales and the team was then weigh edminus the wife. It was but a simple sum i in subtraction to dis cover the weight of the woman. On getting homo the joke leaked out, but his neighbors declare that Caleb will never be more sorry than he was the hour when his wife learned that she weighed two hun dred and forty odd pounds. A Species of Insanity. Mrs. II. T. Helm bold, wife of the well known buchu Hembold, in testify ing to the insanity of her husband, says :, Newspapers are ono ' of his manias ; he didn't care what they said, so that his name was In them; he used to be working all thotlmo with printers, editors, and report ers; there is an increase of that passion : he publishes the most ab surd bill-posters now; he bores tho men to death in tho offices whero they print papers ; I think this is Insanity ; it is very mortifying to me and to his family. If all men who bored newspaper men to death in the offices where they print; papers were declared Inj sine the lunatic asylum would bo full. Whitewash. : The following recipe for -white wash, sent out by the treasury de- partment, to . all the light, houso keepers, makes an article that an gwers on wo dt brick or stone nearly ' as well as oil : paint, and is much cheaper : - Slake a half bushel of ? unslaked lime with boiling Water, . keeping it covered during the pro- ' cess. Strain it, and add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water,threo . founds of ground rice put in Doli ng water and boiled to a thin paste ; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting and a pound of clear glue, dissolved in warm t water; mix f these well together, and let the mixture stand for several days. , Keep the wash thus prepared in a' kettle or portable furnace, and when s used put it on as hot as possible' with either painters' orwhitewash brushes. i f -.Wilmington Review : Mr. Joseph j II., Dulles, an old respected citizen,, of Philadelphia, died on " Sunday , last, aged SI years.
