Now a lawyer his majesty never had seen, For to his dominions none ever had been, And he felt very curious the reason -to know Why hone had ever been scuts to the regions .below. , ' Twas the fault of his agents, his majesty thought, a , Why none of those lawyers had ever been caught; And for his own pleasure he had a desire To come to the earth and the reason inquire. Wellathe lawyer, who rose with visage so grave, Made out his opponent a cansammate knave; And the old, devil was muchly amused ' To hear the attoiney so greatly abused. . As soon as the speaker had cam.e.to a close . - The couneel opposing then fiercely arose, And heaped such abuse on the head of the first, As made him a villain of all men the worst. Thus they quarrelled, contended, and argued so long, - 'Twits hard to determine the one that , was wrong; - a - And, concluding he'd heard quito enough of the "fuss," - Old Nick turned away and soliloquised thus : "If ail they have said of eaeh other bs. true, The devil has surely been robbed of his due ; Ilea satisfied now it is all very well— These lawyers would, ruin the morals of hell. , "They ' have puzzled the court with villainous . cavil, And I'm -tree to confess they have puzzled the devil;• . . My agents are right to let lawyer's go bail. Ii ' had then?, they'd swin.clle me out of my tail." Aphorisms for the Aged. "Cold snaps" are followed by plenty of obituaries for the aged. Therefore take waxning. Clothe warm, sleep warm, and above all breathe warm. Convert your muffler into a respira- tor, by covering both nose and mouth, and breathe through it every time you leave a warm room for out-of-door air. Don't rush up to a hot stove when you come in. Don't allow your sleeping room to get below 500 above zero. Don't allow your feet to remain long cold. , • - Remember your blood must I be kept at980 above zero, though the atmos- phere is 40 below zero. - Don't forget—the aged die during "cold waves" from lung and bronhial diseases. Keep off chills, inside and outside. Eat plenty of heat -producing food, such as naeat, butter, sugar, eggs, oysters, &c. Dodge watery slops, acids, and Much pastry. Don't be afraid of salt pork—' fat don't breed tricleinaa. ,Follow the above advice, I that you may survive the "blizzards" of the Nor'west. — Goiug from hot rooms to cold air (or viceiversa), the vast change to the lungs produces congestion, inflammation, effusion, or engmeierneut ; the blood is not oxidized—the heat goes down—the brain is stupefied—the machine stop. The obituary follows, as a "naysterious visitation of Providence"—which is a libel upon our Creator, and a proclama- tion of human ignorance or carelessness. ••A Street Car Episode. It was about five o'clock one evening when a Brooklyn street car, filled with passengers from New Yprk, left Fulton Ferry bound uptown. Just as we got well under weigh,: being on the rear platform, perceived‘an old man racing after the car, and ahen he succeeded in gaining it, a grin of intense satisfac- tion illumined his intelligent counten- fince. He was a person you would not forget in a hurry, for there seemed to be something peculiar about him. About the medium height; clear-cut, handsome features; sharp gray eyes and pure white hair. He appeared to be about sixty years of age, but well- preserved and straight- as an arrow. He was dressed in a suit of dark tweed, and carried a small valise. Upon en- tering he addressed a very thin young man, who had a half -scared expression on his face, in the following manner; "How is that for a run for an old man of seventy years? I will bet you a $100 that when you are as old as I am you couldn't do it." The aforesaid young man, evidently not having the money, did not want to bet, and kept silent. Taking an interest in the new -comer, I moved nearer him and had. the pleas- ure of soon drawing him into conversa- tion. "Yes, sir," said he, "I was seventy years old. last birthday. You may not belieVe it, but it's so. Why, forty years ago they had none of • these one-horse cars in this city. Old Billy Barry used to do all this business with a large wagon. which he called a conveyance. He had his regular customers on the road, and he called for them every morning. When he stopped in_front of a house he blew a tin horn, and if the owner kept him waiting any time, I tell you, the air seemed to actually smell of sulphur. Mind, I tell you, Barry could sWear." Then turning to the conductor, he said he wanted a seat, and pointing to a man reclining in the corner, he remark- ed "that he thought it shameful that any one could see a poor old man like him standing." After considerable squeezing, room was made for him, and carefully put- ting.down his valise, be eyed the pas- sengers. Presently an attractive young lady entered, and as no one appeared anxious to offer her a seat, our friend, with one hand on his valise and. the other on the region of his heart. arose and exelaimed in a rather high key: "Although I am seventy years old, I a,na a gentleman still," and with many bows offered her his seat. For the next mile nothieg occurred to break the monotony,_ except when any young iady entered, when the con- ductor would invariably put his arm lovingly around their waists and help them in. When Washington avenue was men- tioned the old man pricked up his ears and said to the conductor: "Was that street named after the great and glorious father of our coun- try- -the man who, like me, never told a lie ?" "I don't know nothing about that." replied the official, "but anyhow that is the name." Shortly after he asked the conductor if the next street was not Ryerson, and being answered in the negative, he seemed to become angry, and ex- claimed : "Are you positive about that, young man? for the person who just got off said it was. 'Could it be possible he wanted to play a trick on me—may the three furies of hell descend on him if he did I" At this all the ladies appeared shocked, and it was, not till the old man had lifted his hat several times, and been assured that his destination was yet half a mile away that sileuce was restored. -• "Ryerson street !" shouted the con- ductor, as he motioned our friend that his journey was at an end. • The old man was standing on the step, when he saw the conductor going to ring the bell. "Look here, yonng man, you don't take me for a slouch, do you? I never saw the earl. yet that I couldn't jump off of. Just ring for full speed. I can stand the pressure!" and in an- other moment he was hurrying down the street. Marriage. The foundation of every good govern- ment is the family. The best and most prosperous country is that which has the greatest number of happy fire- sides. The holiest institution among men is marriage. It has takep the race countless ages to come up to the condition of marriage. Without it there would be no civilization, no hu- man advancement, no life worth living. Life is a failure to any wo-man ho has not secured the love and adora ion of some grand and magnificent ma . Life - is a mockery tol any man, no natter whether he be mendicant or m narch, who has not won the love of some worthy woman. Without love and marriage, all the priceless joys of this life would be as ashes on the lips of the children of men. You had better be the emperorof one loving and tender heart, and she the emPress of yours, than to be the king of the. world. The man who has really won the.love of one good. woman in this world, it matters not though he die in the ditch a beggar, his life has been a success." There is a heathen book which says "Man is strengh, woman is beauty; mall is courage, woman is love. When the one man loves the_oue woman, and the one woman loves the one man, the very angels leave heaven and come and sit in that house and sing for joy.--. The Physiologist. A Story of Sandy Paul. Sandy was accounted a character in his day, and was occassionally made the victim of a practical joke. He lived in a, provincial town at a peried when stage -coaches and carriers' carts were the chief means of eouveyance, and gained a scanty subsistence from being hanger-on" at one of the inns where vehicles halted on their journey, besides doing other jobs about town. Sandy usually slept over night in the hayloft of the inn, having for a sleeping partner an individual nicknamed "Gawkie," whom he " lo'ed like a vera brither.,' Both were very partial to a dram. One cold night, Sandy, being pecuniarily successful during the day, as a matter of course got fou'; but after making a hero of himself for an hour or so, at last deemed it expedient to ascend to the dark loft and join his crony, whom he understood had retired to his slumbers some time previously. Having mount- ed. the ladder with difficulty, he shortly thereafter lay prone alongside of what he thought to ea his ordinary bed fel- low. Are \ sleepin' Gawkie ?" asked. Sandy. 'M.. i, I wish ye'cl lie ower a bit." No auswer— no movement. Said Sandy again with growing fear, while his hand cautiously explored, "Wow 1 but ye're a' caul,' G-awkie; ye're back's caul'—ye're a' caul'—ye're inside's oot—ye're deicl ye deevil l" and in great terror at his discovery he hastened to the kitchen of the house, where were :assembled several young people, to whom he made "the sad revelation." They all looked seemingly grieved enough. Sandy had been for some minutes giving way to what ex- pressed better far than words of elo- quence the supreme place his comrade had in his affections, when suddenly like an apparition, the veritable Gawkie himself rose from under the table, and 'enlightened him as follows :—"Ye're dreedfu' doon in the mooth aboot the swine, hut it ill sets ye, seein' ye helpit tae slaughter't an' scrape it yersel' !" There were then roars of laughter at Sandy Paul's expense. How Boys May Succeed in Life. . It may be that you are debarred from entering upon that business for which you believe yourself to be best adapted. In that case, make the best choice in your power. Apply yourself faithfully and earnestly to whatever you may undertake,- and you cannot well -help achieving' a moderate success. - Pa- tient a.**pplication sometimes leads to (-Teat results. You emphasize the fact of your being a poor boy, butthis affords no grounds of discouragement. The American President, Andrew Johnson, did not learn to read and write until he was af- ter 21. So numerous are similar cases that it almost seems as if poverty, in- stead of being a hindrance, were a posi- tive help. Rich boys are often spoiled, and their energies sapped and under- mined by luxurious habits, the to0 free use of money, aud the lack of that dis- cipline which comes from indigenoe. As an element of success, great stress must be laid upon incorruptible integ- rity, which of late years is unfortunate- ly too rarely found. A business man once said to -ale writer, "I can find plenty of smart young men to work for me. What I want is an honest clerk, whom I can implicitly trust." Scarcely a day passes in which some defalcaticon is not brought to light. Wide -spread misery often results from the lax priveiples of some young men placed. in a position of trust. Let our young friend resolve thakhe will live on -bread and water rather than appro- priate a penny that is not his own. A boy or man who establishes a reputation for strict honesty will not remain long out of enaployment. Don't give up all your time to busi- ness. Reserve a part, if only an hour, daily, for reading and mental improve-- ment. Some men prominent in busi- ness have found time for a wide and varied course of reading, which made them agreeable_ and instructive com- panions. Once at a dinner party an eminent clergyman made an incorrect historical allusion, and was at once set right by a quiet merchant who sat be- side him. Last of all, remember that you owe a debt to humanity. Try to live and • la - bor so that the world may be richer and mankind the happier for your having lived. A great inventor, a great philan- thropist, leaves a legacy to his race. Who can estimate the incalculable debt of the world to the inventor of printing, of the steam engine, of the telegraph? Who will deny that Washington, Frank- lin and. John Howard helped to make the world better than they found it? Will not the memory of Scott, of Dick- ens and ot Thackeray live in the fund of innocent Pleasure which their works are destined to afford for generations to come? All cannot attain their celebrity or emulate their great achievements, but no one is so humble that he cannot promote in some degree the happiness of those around him. A good 'mother, when her son was leaving the home of his childhood and going out into the great world, knowing that lie was ambitious, gave him this parting injunction: "My son, remember that though it is a good thing to be a great man, it is a great thing to be a goodman." No sounder, no truer words were ever spoken. A great man may:dazzle, but a good man is a beacon shining afar, by whose beneficent light a milltitude are enabled to wa11 in safety. The best success is often ehieved by the hum- blest, and an o cure life, well spent, is better than a wicked renown. Apache Courtship and Marriage. When an Apache brave concludes to marry, says the San • Francisco Post, either.a first or any subsequent wife, the manner of his courtship is the same. He makes no effort to become agreeable to his intended bride, indeed, rarely if ever notices or speaks to her, except in answer to questions she may put to him. He pays more attention,' however, to her male relatives, particularly her brothers,- if she has auy. Finally, if he becomes satisfied that a declaration will not be rejected, then the whole affair is accomplished in a few hours and gener- ally in this fashion. At night he takes, the presents intended for the girl's pareuts, who alone are entitled to receive any, and places them near the - lodge in which she lives. If the presents are horses they have their trappings' also, and are tiedwith macate near the lodge; if a cow is to be given, a single straw or a cow's horn, which signifies the intention is tied to the lodge. If the presents are accepted, which almost always harppens, the girl goes in the, morning and builds a new lodge or hut for herself and husband, and puts straw in it for their bed. If the man is rich there is some ceremony about the mar- riage; if poor, "very little or none. When the parties are of consequence one of the orators of the tribe is employed by the bridegroom to place the presents near the lotdge and make a speech to the Bride's family for -him. The orator stands at a distance of several yards, and id his best style makes the declara- tion for his principal. In this he dilates on his .client's qualities—his courage, his skill in hunting, or anything in which he is distinguished. The orator confines himself strictly to the truth in his speech, and promises that his. prin- cipal will naaintaiu and defend his bride, but at the same tinae informs her family that he may at some future time take auother wife, and even may -become tired of her and send her -honae --all of which are necessary incidents of Apache married life. He also tells them _that while she should remain his only iwife he _would be faithful t� her, and should expect fidelity, obedi- ence, and service from her. When he returned from hunting foray or play he wanted his food prepared as soon as .possible, and he should, expect her always to have a store of foOd on hand. On his part he would bring her game and spoils of the enemy whenever he could. Her relatives, make presents to the parents or family of the husband, and that is all that generally is done. Among these Indians it is considered a great indecency tig a man to look at his mother-in-law's face, and Still more so to speak to her. If by chance they hap- pen to come close together one runs in one direction and the other in an opposite one until they are several yards apart. . . What Kept Running in the .
