'lir devil carie to the earth Oise day, And unto the court house wondedhis way, Jn t as an Attorney with very grave face Wjts proceeding to argue the points in a case. Now a lawyer his majesty never hstd seen, For to bis dominions none ever had been, And he felt very curious the reason to know K y none had ever been Fent to the regions below. - ' Twas the fault . of his 'agents, his majesty thought, - - Why none of those lawyers had ever been. caught; And for his own pleasure he had a desire. To, comp to the earth and the reason inquire. Well, the lawyer, who rose with visage so grave, Made out his opponent a'ceiisun-uuate knave; And the old devil was muchly amused - To hear the attorney so greatly abused. As soon as the speaker had came to a close The counsel opposing then fiercely aroan, And heaped snob abuse on the head of the first, As made him a villain of all mon the worst. Thus they quarrelled, contended, and argued so long, 'Twas hard to determine the one that was wrOnb; And, concluding he'd heard quite enough of the "fuss," Old Nick turned away and soliloquised thus : "If all they have said3of each other be true, Tho devil has surely been robbed of his due ; 1 am satisfied now it is all very well— These lawyers would ruin the morals of hell. "They Have puzzled the court with villainous ad'Yil, And I'm free to confess they have puzzled !the devil ; My agents are right to let lawyer's go bail. If I had them, they'd swindle me out of my tail." • Aphorisms for the Aged. "Cold snaps" are followed by plenty of obituaries for the aged. Therefore take warning. Clothe warn', 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 yon leave a warm room for out-of-door air. - Don't rush up to a hot stove when you coma-iu. Don't allow your sleeping room to get below 50 ° above zero. - Don't allow your feet to long cold. Remember your blood must be kept at 98 ° above zero, though the atmos- phere is 40 below zero. Don't forget—the aged die during scold waves" from lung and bronchial diseases. Keep off chills, inside and outside. Eat plenty of heat -producing food, such as' meat, butter; sugar,, eggs. oysters, arc. Dodge watery slops, acids, and much pastry. Ipon't be afraid of salt pork—fat don't breed trichinae. Follow the above advice, that you may ' survive the 'blizzards'.' of -the Nor'west. Going from hot rooms to cold air (or vice versa), the vast change to the Lungs; produces congestion, inflammation, effusion. or engoigemeut ; the blood is not oxidized—the heat goes down—the brain is stupefied—the machine stops. The obituary follows, as a "mysterious 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 York, left Fulton Ferry bound up town. Just as we got well under weigh,; being on . the rear 1 tf m erceived;:an old man racing after the car, and «hen he succeeded in gaiuiug it, a grin of intense satisfac- tion illumined his intelligent counten- ance. 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 oe his face, in the following manner . "How is that for a run for an old roan of seventy years ? 7 -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 i to conversa- tion. - - Yes sir," said. he, I : was seventy Y yearn old last birthday. ou may not wanted to play a trick on me—may the three furies of hell descend on him if he did !" At this all the ladies appeared shocked, and it was not till the old mau had lifted his hat several times, and been assured that his destination was yet half a mile away that silence 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 b.ell. - "Look here., young man, you dou't take me for a slouch, do you ? I never saw the car yet that I couldn't jump off of. Just ring for full speed. I can stand the pressure!" and in au - other moment he was hurrying down the street. Marriage. The foundation of ev6ry good govern- ment is the family. The best and mostprosperouscountry is that which has the greatest number of happy fire- sides. The holiest institution among men is marriage. It has taken the race pountless 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 woman who has not secured the love and adoration of some grand and=magnificent man: Life is a mockery to any man, no matter whether he be mendicant or monarch, 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 emperor of 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 ; man 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 inproviucial town at a period when sta.geecoaches and carriers' carts were the chief mans of conveyance, and gained a scan y subsistence from being a " Banger -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 thereafterla:• prone alongside of what he thought to :.ke his ordinary bed ,fel- low. " Are % k, sleepin' Gawkie?" asked; Sandy. " M,. si, I wish ye'd lie ower a a 'bit." No answer— no movement. Said Saudy again with growing fear, while his hand cautiously explored, " Wow ! but ye're a' caul,' Gawkie ; ye're back's caul'—ye're a' caul'—ye're inside's oot—ye're deid ye deevil !" and in great terror at his discovery he hastened to the kitchen of the house, where were .assembled several , young people, to who•ni 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 G-awkie himself rose from under the table, and enlightened him as follows :—"Ye're dreedfu' doon in the mooth, aboot the swine, but it ill sets ye, seein' ye helpit tae slaughter't an' scrape it yersel' !" There were thea roars of laughter at Sandy Paul's expense. 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 of 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 noone 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 he was ambitious, gave him this parting injunction 1 "My son, remember that though it is a good thing to be a great mau, it is a great thing to be a good man." 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 multitude are enabled to walk in safety. The best success is often achieved, by -the hum- blest, and au obscure life, well spent, is better than a wicked renown. Apache Courtship and Marriage. When an Apache brave concludes to marry, says the Stan 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 aesys'er to questions she may put to him. i previous to the advance. TVe shall He pays more attention, however, to her male relatives, particularly her then be obliged to make ail advance brothers, if she has any. Finally, if he becomes satisfied that a declaration will of Ten Per Cent.

At night he takes 1 the presents intended for the girl's parents, 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 tied with malate 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 1 always happens, the girl goes in the 1 morning and builds a new lodge or but '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- o cone. When the parties are of consequence one of the orators of the tribe is employed by the bridegroom to place the • pr'esents near the Lodge and . make a speech to the Bride's family filar him. The orator stands, at f, distance of several yards, and in his best st-1e makes the declara- tion ter his principal. Inthis he dilates on liis client's gbalities—his courage, his skill. iu hunting, or anything in which he is distinguished. The ' orator confines himself strictly to the truth in . his sp©cell, and promises that his prin- cipal will maintain and defend his J bride, but at the same time informs her family that he may at some future time take another wife, and even may become tired of her and seud her home —all of which are necessary incidents of Apache married He also tells them that while she should remain his only wife he would be faithful to her, and should expect fidelity, obedi- ence, and service from her. When he returned from hunting foray'br 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. Nl- Among these Indians it is considered a great indecency for 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 oue until they are several yards apart. - How Boys May Succeed in Life.
