,
My 4-year-o1d baby sat op my lap;
nto dusk of tho fading day—
So helpless be scalped as he nestled there,
So dependent on mother and mother -pare,
That asked; as I kissed the golden bled,
Whet wofild yq pi 'dear; it mamma, were
dead ?"
The eyes Met mine with a steadfast look, '
That showed neither eadgesP nor fear
The lips still Sullied in a careless Way,
As though IPS' deittli were a iuniefeend play;
Not e tear in the eye or thP vow() as he saki,
" I would live wiv grandma if yell as 4e94."
"But grandma is old and feeble, ypu know,
And not ahlo to care for ;
Yea couldn't say thole.' The face grow graye,
one quick scared look at my faeehe gave,
Then, stilibalf defiant, he slowly said, '
" I tould live wiv Auntie if you was dead.''
But Auntie has boys of her own, you know,
And she wouldn't want any moro. ,
1'o; you couldn't live there." The brown eyes
fell;
Life looks pretty gloomy just now. But still,
With a quiver of the lip and chin, he saki,
Touldn't I live wiv Cnole Tom if ypu was
dead?"
"Uncle Tom has no wife or home, you know,
And a man couldn't care for you."
The little breast heaved with its weight of woo—
Was there nowhere, then, for a boy to go?
.And he sobbed as his arms around .my nook he
threw,
1 would want to die and go with you,"

THE JUDGE'S WIFE.
Her name was Nita Dominique; she wee
an Italian by birth and just 17. Friendless
and alone in her own country, she had come
to America to seek the assistance of an
uncle who had emigrated to try his fortunes
some time previously. But instead of being
met at the steamer's dock by her uncle she
was greeted by the and news of his death,
and found herself utterly alone in a land of
strangers.
This is the etory Lucy Keene told to
Judge Devereux when be called.
"But she did not give up," said Lucy,
growing inore earnest as she narrated
Nita's simple story to the judge. "She
was determined to earn her livelihood
somehow, and as they all told her New
York was already crowded with applicants
for every sort of work she resolved on keep-
ing on to the country. But her money
was spent and the storm came on, and,
poor creature, she was worn and wearied
out, and, when night came on, she fell
fainting at our door and we found her
there.
"She is very intelligent," added Mrs.
Keene, "and has, she tells me, been edu-
cated in an Italian convent. I wish we
could find her a situation as governess or
resident instructress in some seminary or
aohool."
Judge Devereux listened quietly, without
expressing any.opinion. He was a hale,
handsome man, somewhere about 40,8 rich
widower, with two or three little children,
and report spoke favorably as to the possi-
bility of Miss Lucy Keene being some day
promoted to the dignity of Mrs. Devereux,
•of Devereux Terrace.
Lucy herself, a modest little rosebud of a
creature, soarcely dared to think of this
distinction in store for her, yet Judge Dev-
ereux's daily visits shed a sort of subdued
sunshine on her life. For it was a quiet,
monotonous sort of existence, boasting of
little variety and less excitement, so most
lives are when spent within the precincts of
a country village.
To this humdrum succession of days and
nights Nita Dominique came like the gor-
geous bloom of a fire -hearted cactus in a
sober bed of daisies, or a tropic dream, or a
meteor glowing athwart the midsummer
starlight, or aught else that is new and
strange and lovely. Her broken „Puglish,
like the lispings of a child first lealning to
talk; her pretty surprise at the manners
and customs of the western world; the
strong attachment she manifested toward
Lucy Keene and her eagerness to assist the
widow and her daughter in each and every
one of their household tasks very soon en-
deared her to them.
And even Judge Devereux, the staid,
grave, stately man, grew to notice Nita,
and chat with her, and be amused with her
innocent talk.
"Yes," he laid, one night after he had
gravely sat and watched her for some time,
" she is beautiful ; and it is no ordinary
type of loveliness, either."
Lucy Keene looked up from her sewing
and for a moment, one moment only, the
crimson rushed to her cheek and a keen
pang seemed to pierce through her heart.
" Ain I growing jealous ?" she ques-
tioned herself, hurrying away to the soli-
tude of her own room. "Jealous! and of
poor, friendless, solitary Nita! Oh, surely,
surely I am not so base as that 1"
But, nevertheless, Lucy Keene drooped
.a little after this, as a white lily, droops
when some unseen worm is gnawing at its
.roots.
It was a week or two after this when
Judge Devereux came into the sitting -room
of the Keene cottage just at dusk. The
doors and windows stood wide open to
admit the perfumed air and scent of early
• June,but there was no one in the apart.
ment, and, although the judge could hear
the silvery voice of Nita Dominique thrill-
ing soft Italian barcaroles down in the
garden as she wandered by herself he did
not turn in that direction, but threw him-
• self on the sofa in the bay window, where
the fluttering muslin curtain half con
.coaled him, and, with his hands crossed
beneath his head, fell into a dreamy sort of
. reverie.
Probably it was succeeded by something
-very like slumber, for when he came back
to a consciousness of the world aroundhim,
there were voices by the opposite window --
Lucy and her mother, enjoying the quiet
•twilight together.
"Harkl" said Limy, softly, after a mo-
ment or two of silence; "don't you hear
Nita singing in the garden? What a
thrush -like voice she has! Mamma, Nita
is growing restless; she thinks she ought to
have something to do."
"Lucy," said Mimi. Keene, "did it never
strike you that—that Judge Devereux was
beginning to notice Nita Dominique a
deal?"
"Yes, mamma." Lucy'e voice was
changed and constrained now.
"Do you think he is in love .with her,
Inky?"
I think he is, mamma."
"But, Ludy," said Mrs. •Keene, with a
disturbed tone, " it i not right. I thought
—I hoped—Juolge Dovereux was growing
fond of you."
',Mamma, darling "—arid by the sound
•of Lursy's voice the pidge knew that she
had left her seat and was nestling glose to
her mother's shoulder -4 it is right. Judge
Devereux has been Most kind to 00, but w
must never presume on his kindness. He
has never given us reel reason to suPnose
him Aught but a warm friend and genorons

"1 shah never endure the sight of Nita

" Mamma darling hush I" coaxed Luoy,
Ought I to grudge poor Nita the one drop
of sweetness in her bitter oup ? °pine,
pamma ; don't let us talk of this any
more. The piano is open in the back eoont
and I have not sung you the Italian can
zonet that Nita taught me last night?! -
The mother and daughter went away,
and when they returned, half an hour
later, with' candles lighted, the room was
empty,
" said Judge Devereux, a day r
two afterward "1 liavebeen thinkimg'of a
nice situation for Nita:"
" What is it?"
There was no bitter jealousy in the soft
eyes she turned up toward hie face,' only
the meet,friendly interestodne young girl
might feel in the welfare of another. •
"What do you think of her as a com-
panionand instructress to my little ',!
he asked. ••
"1 think Nita Dominique's compan
ionship would ennoble and improve any
one.
"Lucy!"
"Yes, Judge Devereux," ishe rejOined.
"Nita hes promised!"
"1 congratulate you I" she amid, with
choked accents.
"And I think I desetve congratulations,
now that I have secured a good governess.
I am net yet content,, however want a

"A wife, Judge Devereuxr,"
"Yes, a wife, Lucy, and no one but your
self will answer my expectations in the'
respect. My little treasure, I have levee
you long and truly—will you trust mewith
your heart? "
And Lucy Reene's protestations werd
drowned in the tender acoents of her love'S'
voice.

The Panhandle of Texas is a body of
territory running up at the extreme north-
west corner of the State between the Indian
Territory and New Mexico. It Is now
filling up with people, and in Crosby
county, where the hirgest gathering of
population is, there is a town which has
taken the narrie of Panhandle. Somebody
has started a newspaper there, and in a
recent issue of it appeared the following:
" Wanted—Irrunediately, 100 single young
women who are prepared to rough
it for a time to come to the Panhandle and
marry our thrifty young men who have
located on 640 acres of land and are now
living in dugouts, tents and cabins. We
can speak a good word for every one of the
boys; they are all noble American citizens
except one, and he is a little unfortunate
in being the son of an English lord. Girls,
thisi is a good chance. Besides this,
married life will beat single blessedness
every time. In a few months' time the
dugouts will be turned into cellars and
comfortable houses erected when the rail-
roads bring in lumber." There is no place
like a new country for the fair sex. There
every woman is a belle and every good
woman •is little less than an angel. The
rough raen of the frontier know how to
appreciate the intrinsic excellence of the
sex.—New Orleans Pik/tote.

Beautiful Women as a Bane.
- The tendency of the present day is the
laxity of conversation permitted by many
ladies in society in their male friends. This
latter evil is one of very rapid growth, and
has spread in many cases from the married
women even to the girls who think that
they can make themselves as agreeable to
the men as their successful rivals, by
adopting the same style and allowing the
same freetlites•of conversation. This, to a
great extent, is attributable to the rage for
beautiful women, which for some time
now has been dominant in London society;
for now a woman, if she is extremely
lovely, and can get an introduction, is sure
to be a star in society for a time, no matter
what her position may be, and whether it
entitles her to be feted and made much of
by the great ones in the land, and wishing
to make her reign as successful as possible
until a brighter star arises and eclipses her,
permits and encourages that loose kind of
conversation that is so attractive to many
men. This rage for beauty has been a
great bane in London society for some
time and has rightly been a source of
annoyance to the younger unmarried mem-
bers , of families who hold their position
by right, for it is an undoubted hardship
for 4thein to feel themselves shelved and
neglected by the men in favor of the fashion-
able beauties, and some of the sillier of
them think that they can improve their
position by copying the ways, manners and
conversation of these piratical craft.
Society'has lately advanced a stage further,
and the beauties of London society whose
"face is their fortune" are now finding
rivals in successful showmen, whose merits
as peta of the fashionable world are not
properly appreciated in their own country.
This same worship of a successful show-
man is in close analogy to the latter and
more rotten 'days of the Roman Empire,
when 'the gladiators were the favored ones
and pets of the Roman ladies. Society,
again, is' open to all who have the golden
key; and if any aspirant • who does not
happen to have a beautiful face, or to be a
successful showman, with flowing locks'
and wild appearance, can judiciously get
taken up, and is willing to spend unlimited
money, his or her success is also ensured —

Printers' Pie.
' A respected clergyman of the Church of
England in this city writes : Are you!
aware of the origin of the word "be" 68c
usedby you printers, I believe for con -1
fusion in your types. The term is derived
either from pinatz, a tablet, or from pica, .
a magpie. The allusion in the latter is to
the varying colors in which the directions
or calendar of the Church's service books ,
were set forth. The directions of the
calendar, which in its simplified forra now
precedes the Book of Common Prayer,
were so complicated that one of the first
duties of the Service Books Revision Com- .
mittee in Edward VL'e•thrie was to sire- •

Presently the menkeys appeared upon the
opposite bank,headed by an old gray 'chief-
tain, officered like so many soldierp. •One,
an aide -decamp, or thief pioneer., perhaps,
ran out upon a prejecting rook, and after
looking 'threes the stream, as if calm.'
lating the distance, scampered back
and appeared to communicate with
the leader. This produced a move-
ment in the troops. Meanwhile several
of the monkeys (engineers, no doubt) ran
along the bank, examining the trees on both
sides of the arrayo. At leneth,they all col-
lected around a tall cottonwood that grew
over the narrowest part of the stream, and
twenty or thirty of them scampered up its
trunk. On reaching e high point the fore-
most, a strong fellow, ran out Upon st
and taking several turns of his tail around
it, slipped off and hung head downwards.
The next on the limb, also a stout one,
climbed down the body of the first, and
whipped his tail tightly round the neck and
forearm of the latter, dropping off in his
turn, and hung head down. The third
repeated this manceuvre upon the second,
and the fourth upon the string resting his
forepaws upon the ground. The living
thain now commenced swinging backward
and forward like the pendulum of a clock.
The motion was slight at first, but gradual-
ly increased, the lowermost monkey strik-
ing his hands violently on the earth as he
passed the tangent of the oscillating
curve. Several; others uponthe limbs
above aided the movement. This
continued till the monkey at the end of
the chain was thrown among the branches
of a tree on the opposite bank. Here,
after two or three vibrations, he clutched a
limb and held fast. Thio movement was
executed adroitly, just at the culmination
point of the oscillation, in order to save the
intermediate links from too sudden a jerk.
The chain was now fast at both ends, form-
ing a complete suspension bridge, over
which the whole troop to the number of
four or five hundred passed. It was a
comical eight to witness the quizzical
expression of countenance along that living
chain.
After the troops had passed one monkey
attached his tail to the lowest on thebridge,
another girded him in the same menner,
and another until a dozen more were added
to the striug. These last were powerful
fellows, and running up to a high limb they
lifted the bridge into e position almost
horizontal. Than a scream from the last
monkey 'of the new formation warned the
tail encifthat all was ready, and the next
moment the whole chain was swung over
and landed safely on the opposite bank.
The lowermost links now dropped off like a
melting candle, while the higher ones
leaped to the branches and came down by
the trunk. The whole troop then scam-
pered off into the chapparal and die -
appeared.
How, to Select a Wife.
Good health, good morals, good sense and
good temper are the four essentials for a
good wife. These are the indispensables.
After them come the minor advantages of
good looks, accomplishments, 'family posi-
tion, etc. With the first four married life
will be comfortable and happy. Lacking
either it will be in more or less degree a
failure. Upon good health depends largely
good temper and good looks, and to eoine
extent good sense also, as the best mind
must be affected more or less by the weak-
nesses and whims attendant on frail health.
Young man, if your wife is falling into a
state of invalidism, first of all things try to
restore her health. If she is troubled with
debilitating female weaknesses, buy Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It will
cure her.

If you have all, or any considerable number
of these symptoms, you are suffering* from
that most common of American maladies --
Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated
with Dyspepsia, or Indigeation. The more
complicated your disease has become, the
greater the number and diversity of symp-
toms. No matter what stage it has reached,
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
will subdue it, if taken according to diree-
tions for a reasonable length of time. If not
cured, complications multiply and Consump-

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and
through that great blood -purifying organ,
cleanses the system of all bleod-taints and im-
purities, from whatever cause arising. It is
equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid-
neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing,
strengthening, and healing their diseases. As
an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes
digestion and nutrition, thereby building up
both flesh and strength. In malarial districts,
this wonderful medicine has gained great
celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and

earlier stages of the disease. From its mar-
velous power over this terribly fatal disease,
when first offering this now world -famed rem-
edy to the public, Dr, Pierce thought seriously
of calling it his "Coesumericas CURE," but
abandoned that name as too restrictive for
a medicine which, from its wonderful com-
bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative.
or blood -cleansing, anti -bilious, pectoral, and
nutritive properties, is unequaled, not orilv
as a remedy for Consumption, but for ail
Chronic Diseases of tho
Liver, Blood, and Lungs.
For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short-
ness of Breath, Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Bron -
chills, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kindred
affections, it is an efficient remedy.
Sold by Druggists, at $1.00, or Six Bottle:,
