And o Gear over- neat sister, how much of this ease, this rest, do you or fa to have? He bis business into fewer hours. up from the office earlier than usual, thinking to enjoy a drive with you. Rash man! He finds the front porch filled with the parior furnisure, the maid pf all work down on her knees vigorously applying a po and vou towel—] breakneck position, endeavoring sweep down the cobwebs tliat exist chiefly in your brain. He swallows the disappointment which the first glimpse of home induces, and, bravely venturing all, tells you to take off that towel, put on your bonnet and shawl, and come with him. And you!—you turn on him a look of mingled scorn and reproach, and indicating the confusion round about with a lofty wave of your broom, exclaim contemptuously, “This looks like driving. doesn’t it?” My erring housewife, your nusband may, in despair, go for some younger, handsomer woman to drive with him, and there are uncharitabie persons in the world who will not pity you if he does, for this is not the oniy time that neatness has conflicted with comfort— that the house has proved an insur- mountable obstacle in the way of hap- piness. Henry has ten minutes after dinner; he seats himself and resolves to rest for that space of time. You look tired. The martyred’ air with which you have car yourself during the meal has irritated him. He does wish that you wouid sit down too, aud let the house go to the dogs, if it must, through ten minutes of sheer idleness. But no; With weary footsteps you drag yourself upstairs and down aguin, appearing in asun bonnet. Not too pleasantly, he inquires, “What are you going to do now?” With a Joan of Are expression, you hereicaliy reply that you are going out to prop up that trellis in the back yard. It's leaning over, and Jocks di- lapidated; and when you have 2 hus- band who won't put a nail in anything to keep it from failing to pieces, why, you must do it yourself. You ain’t good for much, you know, but thank the Lord! you do love to see things in order. Henry may jump up, stride out to the tre grasp hammer and _ nails, and, striking getically but blindly, hit his thumb, swear, toss the hammer farther, snap out the intelligence that he'll send a man from the store to fix it, and go down town in anything but a Christian frame of mind. Or he may doggedly sit still and permit you to prop up the trellis, since you do want to distinguish yourself asamartyr. But his peace is spoiled; wicked thoughts fill his mind, and it is barely possible that he will inwardly declare that if the first law of Heaven is order he doesn’t want to gothere. True, there are men who would tenderly embrace their wife, tell her affectionately that she is tired, beg her to rest, and say, “I will do it myself dear,” and who will perform the task without a grumble. But, alas, for fesh and blood! such men live only in books and behind the footlights, and it is the unamiable, live creature, not the paper or stage creation, with whom we ave to deal.—Flora iicDonald, in Good Housekeeping. —— to Didn't Care for His Soul. Once in a while even the unawed humorist meets his match. Mark Twain was traveling in a car on the New York & New Haven Road a short time ago with two clerical friends whose company he is particularly fond of. The three sat together in the car, and only an expert could have distinguished Mark from the clergyman. The three heads were bent to a focus while Mark was relating one of his pilgrimage ex- periences, when a fourth head was un- steadily inserted in the circle, anda boozy but sympathetic face was upturn- ed to listen. The head was gently shoved aside and the three resumed their pow-wow. fe the ruby-tipped nose. was insert- and again it was shut out When for a third time the nead appeared un- abashed, like a jack-in-a-box, Mark lost patience, snd hunching up his noes 4 shoulders he slid the head back along the top of the seat, remarking gravely: “My friend, we are settling a delicate doctrinal point touching damn- ation, and we want you to keep your head out of danger.” As he drawled out the last word the drunken head fell over the end of the seat-back with an emphasis that made its teeth rattle, but the owner soon lift- ed it and stuck it back in the ring, murmuring plaintively: “Why, deacon, you don’t seem to care a —— for my soul!”’—Boston Record. A well-known lawyer of Galesville, Wisconsin, was going down-town to his office. As he was passing the residence of Mrs. P——, her little boy, about one and a half years old, was running away across the street, and his sister was a om aT bring ae beso The jawyer to the girl, “['dlet him go; he is hardly eo Erni back.” The mother of the child, who had not been seen, was standing near the door, and heard the remark; as quick as a flash she spoke to the girl and said, “Yes, you had better bring him back, as we intend to make a lawyer of him.” —Harper's Magazine. saning out of a window in a} Bowser, When [ order a suit of clothes jthev are ready for me at the date set, and if there is any son why 2 dress- vaker can't do business on business | principles, I want to know it” | But I can‘t help it,’ I protested. “No, you cant!

Fi go down this very after- noon and buy you a new dress, and I'll fohow the cloth until you have it on your ba I'll show you. Mrs. Bowser, that business is business!" He began operations after dinner. Mr. Bowser has an alarm clock that goes oif to the minute. Lie therefore argues that everybody else ougit to go off with the same promptness and dis- patch. He jumped off the car and rushed into a dry-goods store and said: " “Give me twelve yards of stuff for a dress—quick!" “Calico or siik?’’ queried the clerk. “Why, silk, of course. You can give me two shades—six yards in a shade. (li take green and blue.” “But no one can get a dress out of twelve “ls of silk and as for the colors: “They can't, eh!’ howled Bowser. “My moiher never had over ten yards for « dress, and twelve has got to make one for my wife. The colors are all right.” The clerk gave him what he asked for, aud Bowser rushed home and flung the package in my lap with: “Been gone just thirty-seven minutes by the watch, while you Lave been fool- ing uround taree afternoons. There's twelve full yards, and if you have any left you can line my overcoat ! Why, I never get less Don’t you see how narrow silk is? “Um! 1 thought it was sheeting width, of course. There's another fraud I'm going to look ta” “And the shades—I can’t wear ’em— no one could.” “You can't! Weil, you will, ali tho ‘Ynis talk about n ng’ the complexion with dress goods is the twaddie of idiots! If green and biue won't hit you, then let her miss! it’s my te, and I think It know what be.ongs to harmony. We'll go down after supper and get some dress-maker io begin work.” “Bat I know what she'll say. “Ol! you do! Well, you leave that n bossing this job, Mrs. Bow- ser, and ll learn you a thing or two before we get through!” % After supper we went down-town toa dress-maker’s. As we got out of the carriage Bowser charged me to keep my mouth shut and let him do the talking, and I cheerfully promised obedience. He carried the bundle under his arm, and as we entered the shop he asked: “Will you take a contract to build Mrs. Bowser a dress and have iit tinished ; at a certain date?” “Let me see the goods,” she replied, but no sooner had she opened the pack- age than she as “Is it some fancy skirt for the circus ring?” “Circus ring!” he whooped, “what is there about these goods to remind you of a circus ring?” “The colo “Mrs. Bowser.” he said as he turned to me, “we will go elsewhere, It is evident that this person has come out of some door knob factory to take up dress-making.” At the second place the dress-maker smiled as she saw the colors, and replied that she wouldn't think of beginning work without twenty-four yards of silk at hand. “Then you'll never begin!” exclaimed Bowser. “It’s high time the long-suffer- ing public kicked against this dress- making robbery. When I buy tvelve yards of silk for a dress-maker to steal you can expect I’m going to die the next week.” The third dress-maker seemed to understand the situation at a glance, She opened the silk, rolled it up again. and calmiy but firmly said: “I am very busy just now. You'd better take it to some blacksmith- shop!” Then we went home for the night Bowser was mad and wouldn't speak to me. and as he siept he dreamed of dress-makers, and I overheard him say- ing: “Colors! I teil you it’s all bosh! How many horses and cows do you see of four or five colors?” The next day we visited twelve other dress-makers. Two of them called Mr. Bowser an old fool, and four others samy ” laughed in his face, while the other six. refused to have anything to do with the dress. When we left the last place he said: “Mrs. Bowser. 'm a man who can’t be bulldozed. Those dress-makers have formed a ring to steal cloth and keep up prices. [il beat ‘em at their own me. We'll wait until we goto New Fork and then buy a ready-made di ” When we got home he called the cook ‘into the sitting-room and gave her the silk, and she thanked him kindly and added: “It comes in very handy, Mr. Bowser, for my sister is a tight-rope performer and wants a new pair of silk tights.” 1 couldn't help laughing, and Mr. hasn't to me gince.— fools to be imposed upon as you are! | The Tree-Planting Mania.

The weeping and is said to have been the one sent to Pope from Turkey by Lady Mary Wortley Mon- tague and planted by him in his gar- den at Twickenham. It was of the species which grows upon the Euphrates and upon which the weeping daugirers of Jerusalem hung their harps. Garrick planted two willows on his lawn beside his Shakspeare temple. One of these was destroyed by a thunderstorm after his death.” Its overthrow greatly dis- tressed his widow, who, as the story goes, was found running upand down in the storm wringing her hands and erying, “O, my Garrick! O, my Gar- rick!’ The tree known as ‘Dr. Jolunson’s willow” at Litchtield was said to have been planted by him, but th probably grew out of his ady and talk of it. It was blown down : generation ago, and at the time « destruction measured over four fert diameter—a size to which it could hardly have grown had it been planted so late as Dr. Johnson's time. A slip of the old tree was planted on the same .site, and is now « flourishing trunk. Other offsets of the old tree were planted by his admirers throughout the neigh- boring country. The trunk of the old tree was worked up into snuff boxes, canes, and other articles of that class and sold as mementoes. Enough of these are said to exist in England to absorb half a dozen trees in their con- struction. Byron, when he first went to New- stead Abbey. at the age of 10, planted anak there. He had an idea that as the tree flourished so should he. He “awakened to find himself famous,” and, returning many years later to Newstead, found the sapling choked up with weeds and almost dea Scott was too broad a man to fall into any especial craze, yet he was perhaps the most persistent and enthusiastic tree-planter among the great masters of the pen. He found Abbottsford a bar- ren heath and left it a wooded lawn. He planted many varieties — willow, aspen, oak, and birch. He was very desirous of raising a grove of Spanish: cbestnuts. A friend living at Seville, a merchant, volunteered to send him the seed. When the nuts arrived, how- ever, it was found that they had been boiled. Rous of thet His’ impu of his s n, in Franee, also’ had a touch planting mania in early life. was inspired by the master o had upon the grounds atree by t great store and which was the del 1s life. Rons- seau and a companion secured a dimin- utive sapling and set it out in the schoolyard at 2 short distance from the handsome tree of the master. The ground was arid and life was given to the big tree only by bringing water to it, which was done with much labor. This the two boys could not compass and to save their hope tunneled a con- duit under ground from the big to the little tree, which soon began to flourish, while its large neighbor sickened. The schoolmaster’s solicitude led to the dis- covery of the scheme and to the preser- vation of his beloved tree. $$ « —____—_ A young man had his girl out car- nage riding the other evening, and the horse took fright and ran away. In turning a corner the vehicle over- turned, and the young lady was pinned tothe earth, and the body of the car- riage lying heavily across her waist. She was rendered unconscious. When she was released from her perilous situation she slowly opened der eyes as consciousness returned, and faintly gasped: *Don’t—squeeze—me—quite— so—hard—next — time — John.” —Mer- chant Traveler. The Gaming Mania. It is not new, but it’s still instructive. Not that instruction or experience ever does the least good in poker or stocks. Look at the late deal on Pine street. The renewal of temptation is the death of experience. 1 am told that from one savings bank alone, during the last two or three weeks, $600,000 bas been with- drawn and put into the hands of brokers, some of whom have speculated themselves and failed. I beiieve they played dominos in Egypt three thou- sand years ago for money, and I dare say the mercenaries of ancient Carthage shook dice for the remuneration they had for their brutal services. Poker was known by another name, but I doubt not that Nebuchadnezzaz’s army anted up in their camp in the warm Assyrian night; and while Brutus was uarreling with Cassius in his tent the man soldiery were probably staking their prospective drachmas at some game of chance.

So mote it be! If we were all wise we would all have about the same amount of money, and that would not be as much as people think.

This question has not been ctorily answered, but it is- certain hese diseases are not only the mos il but among the most com some member of nearly every fam) land is the victim of one of the tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgic attacks, which, in the form of neuralgic headaghe, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant oc- currence. Not until the diseovery of Athlo- phoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous headache, and they were generally con- ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros has been proved to be not only a certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, but a safe remedy. If, in the use of Athlopboros, the bowels are kept Sreely open, its success is certain, and to aid this, Athlophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartic, will be found to be a valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo- phoros is no experiment, it has been tested and has proved its wonderful efficacy. The Athlophoros Pills were originally pre; asa remedy for use in connection wil eee for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy, they are a certain cure for either of these very com- mon and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or general debility.

For diseases of women they are invaluable. These ills are perfectly harmless and may be safely used by adults or children. Testimonials of those who have been cured will be sent free on application.
