MI PBIEND'S WIFE.
'I write, ay ilrroM ehum, for the
purpose of inviting you to vUit us.'
the letter ran. 'Dfui't refuse. My
wiff henily urcouda the luvltatiou.
Ah, Tom, ib Is a Jpwei my wife. I

I aupwered thift letter thua-:

ed to jeopardize my peace of nilmi nor

the mercy of your infernal practical
jokes. But I have no other recourse
now than to accept your invitation.
You muei protnlne me, my dear fel
low, you will not play any of your
joke. A married man ought to be
more dignified ; and if you do play
ny of yourtrickn on me, I warn you
I shall board the first train for home.
Yours, Tom Thurston.
I went. T wait met at the train by
Joe's aervant, a man who had a lon
body, drefsed in a long coat, a lone
waistcoat, long necktie, a long hat.
lon bootw,.and whoe name was
Long. I Instinctively hated the
man. He scrutinized me closely; T
returned the ac.utiny. He watched
my evefy movement like a detective
would a supposed criminal; I watch
ed his movement as a timid man
would a vioioim canine'. Hia voir
In Intonation was in length compara
ble to the length of his body; mj
voice in length of intonation when
addresoing thin man, wa comparable
to the length of the body of a Lilli
putian. We at length reached Joe's houne
I anticipated Joe'a welcome, but- in
hia place came tlie loveliest woman I
ever beheld. It is true, as Joe said, I
was alwaysfluenl in language, but to
thlH day. I cannot tlnd wordtt to hbMh
fy me iu describing her surpassing
beauty.
Joe, Joe,' thought I, 'it's lucky for
you that you met her flrat.'
You are Mr. Thurston?' aheabed.
timidly, approaching me, and ahyly
iflauciug at me under her drooping
eyelid. I told her that T was tiiat
perMonage, and inquired of Joe.
Forauawer, that gentleman himself
rode up on Iiorsebacic, sprang from
the saddle, grasped my hand, and,
like theJoe of old, cried :
Glmi to e you. old boy ! We'll"
have glorjoux irood times, bb or nlil
We'll hunt. flth. smoke, etc-till yon
grow so fat. hale and hear'y, that
your most iutiuiate friends won't
know you. Come in ; tea I wttiting
PMrdon me for not introducing ynu,
but I supposed ynu had introduced
yourself iu my absence. Apropos, It
was iuho-pltable In me to ubsent my
ielf on your arrival, but business cull
ed me away.'
So rattling on, Joe ushered us into
the contest little parlor that ever a
poor bachelor was called upon to en
vy. But the cosy little wife! What
was the envy of the room, with all its
adornments, to the envy of such a
wife? Must I admit it I may as
well right here as at any other period
of my recital I felt a strange thrill at
my heart. It was a thrill of exquisite
pain a thrill of jealousy of Joe's hap
piness. Joe,' T mentally orlpd. 'better. Tar
better for me had I decliued your in
vitation.' Presently we had a mot refreshing
supper, after which, Joe end I stroll
ed out for a walk and a moke.
Joe,' I exclaimed, enthusiastically,
your encomium of your wife were
merited Cshe Is indeed a treaiire
By Jove, if I could find such a jewel,
E would never rest till I won and
married her.'
Joe was ou tlie point of lighting
his clear when I began, but paused
with upraised match until I had fin-i-hed
and tlie match burned his lin
gers. I thought for a time he was aii
irry at my impetuosity, but his face
cleared away, an'd the old wicked
twinkle, that I had feared so much,
rprang to hie eyes. He grasped my
hand, saying:
You're tight, my boy: she'a the
dearest little wife In the universe. I
am glad you like her.'
After we had finished our cigars,
and talked for some time of our old
oolleueduys, we re-entered the house.
Nellie,' cried Joe, opening the
piano, 'favor Tom and .me with a
tune. He.has a passiou for, music.'
Perhaps Mr. Thurston' began
she, but was interrupted by Joe.
No, Nellie. I protect! No mister
ing around here. It's plain Tom. Do
you hear, Tom ? She is to call you
Tom, and you're to call her Nellie.
Violation of this rule will Incur my
eternal displeasure. Govern your
selves accordingly.'
'Perhaps he will object,' pleaded
Nellie.
'No. no.' 1 exclaimed, "it will please
me very much and I will feel hleh
ly honored to he allowed to address
you by your Christian name!'
PkIimw. Tom! It'll please her.
Won't it Nell?'
She laujrhed, and gave me be
witching look, accompanied with a
nod.

THiffRSDAY; NOVEMBER 6 1879.
Id the face. Joe was looking at me,
and I sawhe hail a desperate struggle
to oontrolthe; mucle- of bin mouth.
I wasfindeed fond ot musio. but I
wa entranced with her maKiiifleent
voice. fff evening passed on gold
nn IngB;r?Joe ran on in his wild old
way; tohMiU jokes and laughed just
as boisterously as he dhl when we
roomed together at the college. He
did not mIv u- much chauce to join
in the conversation ; for one comic
aneodnte1.; reminded him of another
which he must tell. We both laugh
ed heatttTyat his atorles, and talked
volumeajjiMeac'h other with our ey&a.
i ii (JrUrearctfd I loved Nel
lie. (Oh, truthful dream !) I dream
ed she reciprocated that love. (Oh,
vain dream i Then I dreamed in
trigue began. We determined to
elope. My heart bled for poor Joe, but
I felt It wbb death to live without her.
Now she hn met me under the old
elm tree south of Joe'a house. I see
her pale, excited face ! I (eel her
nervous hand clasping mine! Now
we are fleeing ! On, on, and now we
are pursued ! Joe is on our track !
The scene changes, and we are ou the
river. We glide along smoothly in a
light boat. Now we are safe, and she
is mine mine forever! But no, Joe
still pursues us. Now he is close to
us. Why cannot we glide faster?
Joe approaches swiftly. Now he clo
ses in on us. He has caught me In
his cruel gvaep. Her beautiful plead
ing eyes are raised to mine. Joe rais
es a knife ulnft. Then I catch his
arm; we struggle silently together. I
wrest the knife from his grasp, and
plunge it Into his breast, and he drops
from the misty boat, and sinks be
neath the dark waves. How dark the
river had grown by the pale linht of
the moon! The gaunt and ghastly
Quure of Mr. Long suddenly emerged
from the waves. I saw him catcii my
darling iu his long arms, aud, before
I could interfere, they had both dis
appeared beneath the turbid waves of
the river. This awoke me. I aroe
and resumed my wearing apparel,
bathed my feverish face, and went
forth into the air to try and exercise
the evil spirit with a fragrant Ha
vana. By the ensuing morning, my dream
had ceased to trouble me, but the re
ality of things did not cease. There
was Nellie before me iu all her beau
ty, all her sweetness, to tempt me on
to love her. There was Joe, with all
his exuberance of spirit, and as un
suspioious as a child to tempt me on
to oyjPy.He iMmed to do.all in his
pgiper t"iMyhH o(teii,
I ti red aa iiidf?ltfwir
aged to gel We6gagea!jjii-$itiglng knd
playing, and then would leave us
alone for hours. Days passed away,
and; relapsed into weeks; in these
weeks. I was almost the constant com
panion of Nellie' Hall. We were out
boating, riding, and to innumerable
concerts and entertainments, ail
through the suggesting aud planning
of Joe. I felt and knew well the dau
aer ; I was fascinated at first now I
was Irretrievably iu love. The
thought of breaking away from this
creature caused me pain like unto
death. I resolved to leave. No mat
ter what it cost me, the only honor
able coun-e for me to pursue was tore
turn to the city aud forget no, not
foret. for never could I forget the
only woman I ever loved or could
love.
Joe wbh absent on the day I arrived
at this determination. All the better,
I thought; it would be easier to get
away. I proceeded to pack up and
get ready to go on the evening train.
I noticed during the prooens of paok
ing, that the long body of Long was
overshadowing me. He seemed de
termined not to let any thing escape
his observation. At length, when I
had iluiehed my work, he approached
me. His long arm was raised to his
breastpocket, andtfrom thence he ab
stracted a letter, which he handed me.
I tore it open. It wad from Joe, aud
read :
'Thomas Thurston, you are a trai
tor; I uo longerdoubtyour perridy.
Long has watched ynu and Nellie
closely. It is useless to deny your in
tention of eloping with her. I de
maud satisfaction, aud it can only be
had fromyour heart'B blood. Meet
me oiljhrlver bank, and by the
light of the moon, and in the pres
ence of Long, we will settle our dif
ferences. Joe.'
I looked up. Long had disappear
ed, and iu his place stood Nellie.
Why, Tom, you're not going to
leave us, are you?' she asked.
I thought she addressed me in a
tone of regret. I looked in her bright
pytB eueh beautiful, loving eyes!
How could I p.iin her? How could I
drive the blood from her cheeks, and
the light from her eyes, by showing
tier Joe's letter, and telling her all?
She came very close to me, and said
coaxing'y '
'Don't go, Tom ; I will be so lonelv
here now.'
I cannot May, Nell. I regret to
have to leave' my words came fast
and almost inarticulately. 'I oiijibt
to be on my way now, ami I can only
stay lonsf enough to bid you adieu.'
But, Tom, what will Joe say?
Surely you will stay till be comes!'
she cried.
'No.no; I cannot. Nellie; Indeed I
cannot. Tcan never forget the hap
piness I have had here thl summer;
but I niut leave you now, and, I fear
It is forever.
My .voice was unsteady, and I clasp
ed both her hands very tightly in
mine.
Foraver!' she repeated. 'Oh, Tom,

What a worhi of tenderness, of re

One of John Phoenix's Stories.
Out in a certain Western forsome
time ago, the Major conceived that ar
tillery might be used effectively In
fighting the Indians, by dispensing
with gun-carriages and fusteuing the
cannon upon the backs of mules. So
be explained hia views to the com
mandant, and It was decided to try
the experiment A howitzer was se
lected and strapped upou the back of
an ambulance mule, with the muzzle
pointed toward the tail. When they
bad secured the gun and loaded it
with ball cartridge, they led the culm
and steadfast mule out ou. the blufT.
and set up a target in the middle of
the riverito practice at. The rear of
the mule was turned toward the tar
get,.and he was baoked gently up to
the edge of the blufT. The officers
xtood round iu a cecui-circls, while
the Major weut up and inst-rted a
time fuse iu the vent of the howitzer.
When the fuse was ready the Major
lit it and retired. In a moment or
two the hitherto unruffled mule
heard the fizzing back of his neck,
and it made him uneasy. He reached
his neck around to acertaiu what
was going on, and as he did so his
body turned, and the howitzer began
to sweep around tlie horizon. The
mule at lat became excited, and his
curiosity became more and more in
tense; in. a Second or two he wasi

was observed to climb suddenly up a

A few weeks ago, says the Lowell
(Mas.) Mail, we published a para
graph concerning a woman, In some
far-away laud, who had been twenty
years. In bed. We have been told of a
ca-e more remarkable than that, in a
town in New Hampshire, within half
a day's ride of Lowell- More than for
ty years ago, a handsome, Intelligent
daughter of a thrifty farmer of that
town became attached to a young
man in her neighborhood, toward
whom her parents were not favo-ably
disposed. They would tint cou-ent
to her marriage, and she, although
competent to reason with herself and
them on the subject, gave up a school
which she was teaching, went to her
bed, and never again arose from it to
work or go iuto society. At tho time
she was not more, than seventeen or
eighteen years old healthy, spright
ly, intelligent aud good-luoking.
The world to her, it wi.uld reeni, had
a3 many charms as for any one else ;
hut without the man of her ohoice
though that choice may have been
regarded as a poor one by her friends
her bed was her world ; and for more
than forty years she clung to It, never
once leaving it to help herself to any
thing out of her room. Tlie mem
bers ol the family were her servants.

He Destroyed His Usefulness.
A d?a?on of a prominent Connecti
cut church whose pastor had just re
signed, says the Hortford Courant, re
cently met a Hartford dsvlm when
the following conversation ensued :
I was sorry to hear that Brother
Blank had resigned. I have always
liked him. He is regarded as a very
able man, isn't he?'
W-s-1-1,, y-e-ft,' (hesitating. 'Oh,
ye-es, he's an able man.'
'But he is a first-rate preacher, isn't
he?'
W-e-1-1, y-e-B ; he's a very good
p readier.'
And he is a man of the highest
Christian character, bo we have al
ways thought here.'
'We-11, ye-es. Oh, yes, he's a good
Christian.'
Bu there must bs aomothlng the
matter, deacon. Why do you hesitate
so, and say, 'We-11, ye-ea?' Has
Brother Blank been guilty of any
thing wrong? I know of a church
that I think be is just the man for,
and 1 mean to reoommend him. very
highly. Have you any reason to sup
pose that he would not give satisfac
tion ?'
'Well, doctor, Mr. Blank la all you
say about him, but I'm afraid he's not
calculated tojaaka a successful pastor
in the country.'
Why not, deacon? You surprise
me very much '
Well. I will tell you one reason.
Mr. Blank lived next to a neighbor
whose hens aud chickens troubled
him vtry much by digging up his
garden. He spoke about it several
times, but it did no good ; those fowls
kept iu hie garden all the time. And
what do you think he did? Instead
of ehdhting some of them or building
a high fence aruuud his garden, he
came here to Hartford and bought the
best gauie-cock he could find, took
him home and turned him loose in
the garden. The next day that neigh
bor heard a great commotion among
the poultry, and when he looked over
the fence there were all his hens and
chickens lying in windrows, and that
game-cock walking over the bodies
and crowing. Now, you cau't say
that was unchristian conduct, but it
was certainly calculated to destroy
Mr. Blauk'a usefulness In that sec
tion.' Some Ancient Monsters.

mais. Une of tnese was an enormous
vertebra, somewhat resembling an
aquatio kangaroo, named the cama
rasaurua suprcmus, whose neck was
nine feet In diameter, whoEe hind
legs were twenty feet long, whose
spinal vertebiai wer&firty six inches
across, and whicli nraat have been
seventy-two feet long by measure
ments carefully taken. This auimal
could walk in forty feet of water and
catch ila prey with its fore paws. He
also describod another similar mon

were aix feet across, and whose hind
legs were forty feet long, with caruiv
erouB teetli placed in the upper and
lower juws like shears, so as to cut
up unimal food by traversing each
other iu tbe most perfect manner
The bones of the lower half of this
animal were solid and very heavy, to
keep ita feet down in tho water,
while bones in tbe upper part of its
body were built in honeycombed lay
ers as thick as pasteboard, strong but
very light and buoyant in water.
This monster has been named am
phicocliasragilissmus, and must have
been considerably over one hundred
feet in length. Both animals have
large aud powerful mils like kang
aroos, and when'catching their food
in the water, must have appeared as

ing as an equal support of the tripod.
How to Breathe.
The action of respiration should
never be carried on through the
mouth. Gjd breathed iuto rniui'.
noHtrila tlie breath of life." The cor
rectness of the inspired writer is fully
sustained by modern physiology
The mischievous habit of carrying on
the action of respiration through th
mouth instead of througli the nose, i.
the real origin of almost ali the dis
eases of tbe throat and lungs, and ev
en consumption itself. Medical
writers tell us that the excessive pers
piration to which some are liable in
thetr sleep, and which is so weaken
ing to the system, Is mainly the re
sult of sleeping with the mouth open.
Whether you walk, sit, read, write oi
eleep, keep your mouth closed, ex
cept when eugaged in conversation or
necessary vucui reading.
The philosophy is this : The veloc
ity of the blood through the body, and
the heat of the body itself, depend
mainly upon the quantity of atmos
pheric air taken into the lungs. Na
ture measures that quantity by the
nostrils, not by the mouth. Wtien
the mouth is employe), the measure
is too great ; but ju-t sufficient when
the nostrils are used. An excess of
air overheats the body, while the pass
age through the mouth otherwise in
juriously affect the throat. The hab
its of children iu this respect should
be carefully watched and regulated.
Open mouths produce a vacant and
uuseemiugly appearance, and may be
regarded bb a very sure precursor of
habitual colds aud sore throat.

OFFICIAL PAPER OFTIFFfftrJiTY
His Jfew Flying Machine.
An snterpriping; saloon-keeper on
Grand Riveravenue is always on tho
lookout for any novelty that may draw
customers, and perhaps this fact may
have been known to a bland-faced old
man who entered the place the other
day and confidentially began:
'If I could draw a crowd of one
hundred men to your place here,
what sum would you be willing to
give me?'
What do you mean;?' askedthosa
loouist.
If it was known that I had In- my
possession a flying-machine, and thak
It waa.to firy from your door her-on a
certaiu day and hour, wouldn't the
novelty be sure to collect a thirsty
crowd ?
'Yes, I think ao. If you have fly
ing-machine and want to show it off
here to-morrow night, I'H glvayou a
dollar, and if the machine Is ;a suc
cess, perhaps I'll buy it.'
'Well, sir,' continued the oldjnan,
in a whisper, 'I've got the boss ! She
fliea (rom the word go. All I've got
to do Is to toss her Into the air, and
away she Bails. It's right down fine,
aud no chance for failure, and I'll ba
on baud at seven o'clock to-morrow
uight.'
The matter became noised about,
aud the next evening there weje fifty
or sixty people iu and around the sa
loon to witness the experiment The
old man arrived on time, bavingsome
sort of a bundle under his arm,, and
he collected, his dollar of the ea
looniat and secured several 'treats'
from the orowd. When everything
was iiuully ready he stood on tha
walk oloar of the spectators and said:
'Gentlemen, I warrant this thing to
fiy. I didn't invent it myself; but I
am now acting as State agent to dis
pose of county rights. Hundreds of
men have tment years of anxious
thought and thousands of dollars In
seeking to iuveut flying machines,
but this one leads them all. She will
now fly. Please stand back and givo
her a chance to rise.'
The crowd fell back, and thejman
let fall the cover hiding bis bundle,
and gave an old speckled ben a tees in
the air. She uttered a dismal squeak,
sailed this way and that, and finally
humped against a telegraph post, and
-ettled down on the roof of a low
shed, cackling in an indignant man
ner at being turned loose in a strange
neighborhood. It was full a minute
heforo the crowd was sure that it was
I a hen, and during that minute tbe
oIiljnanI jiiinnnseri to have runa
distance of seven blocks. A few tried
to overhaul him, but it waa no use.

For Boys to Remember.
A gentlemau advertised for a boy to
assist him io his office, and uearly fif
ty applicants presented themselves.
Out of the 'whole number he in a
short time selected one and dismissed
tke rest.
'I should lika to know," said a
friend, "on what ground you Belected
that boy, who had not a single recom
mendation ?'
"You are mistaken ray friend," waa
the reply ; "he had a good many, and
if you can listen, I will enumerate a
few of them. He wiped IiIb feet
when he came in and olosed the
door after him, thereby showing that
he ia careful. He instantly gave up
his scat to an old man who Id lame,
showing that he Is kind and thought
ful. IIu took off his hat when he
came in, and answered my questioua
promptly and respectfully, showing
that he is polite and gentlemanly.
He picked up tho book I had purpose
ly left laying on tbe floor and replac
ed it on the table, while all the rest
either stepped over it or shoved it
aside; and he waited quietly for hi3
turn. Instead of pushing or orowdlug
which evinoea an honest aud orderly
disposition. When I talked with
him I noticed that hia clothes were
cleanly brushed, hia hair io ulce or
der, aud his teeth as white as milk,
aud when he wrote his name I also
noticed that his fingernails wereclean,
instead of being tipped with jet like
that little fellow's iu the blue jacket.
Don't you term those things letter
of recommendation? I do, and I
would give moie for whut I can tell
about a boy by using my eyes for ten
miuuteb than ull the letters you can
bring me."
She came iuto the office, smiling
and beautiful. George and she were
engaged, and George had a case. Ha
had a galley of solid agate ou his
frame, which lie was about to lock-up
.ind prove. George, blushing like a
girl, shook her hand aud called her
Jiis darling. She eyed the galley and
smiled sweeter than before. 'Doddy,
dear.' Bbe said, till eyeing the galley
of agate, 'Are them tlie things you
print with?' 'Yes, darling!' said
Doddy, feelingly. She swept her ta
per fingers over tbe matter, tijuab
bling tlie entire galley. George, tro

over his face. She looked up at mm
aud said, 'Why. Doddy, if all in lit

toward tbe door. "Good-bye, darling!'
he said. 'Bye bye. Doddy, ba sural
