WILLIAM MITCHELL. This Cut illustrates the_ manner of Using DR. PIERCE’S Fountain Nasal Injector, on . i i s \ - \'-\'\‘i.. \‘~ ’\' . This instrument is especially designed for the per- fect application of - DR. sacs's CATARRH REMEDY. ) It is the only. form of instrument yet invented witir which lluid medicine can be carrrcd [ugh up and perfectly applied to all parts of the aflccted nasal urssaves, and the chambers or cavities communicat- nrv tlIerewith, in which sores and ulcers frequently exist and from which the cutarrhai discharge gene, rallyI roceeds. The want of success in treating Cutan- heretofore has arisen largely from theimpns- sibility of applying remedies to these, cavities and chambers by any of the ordinary methods. This obstacle in the way of effecting cures is entirely overcome by the invention of the Douche. In using this instrument. the Fluid is carried by Its own weigh , (no snuitlng, forcing or pumping being required.) up one nostril in a full gently flowing stream to the highest portion of the nasal passages, passes into and thor- ' orrglily cleanses all the tubes an chambers connected therewith, and flows out of the opposite nostril. Its use ls pleasant, and so simple that a child can under- stand it. Full and explicit directions accompany each instrument. When used With this instrument. Dr. Sa<re‘s Catarrb Remedy cures recent attacks of “Calif in the Head’ by a few ap- iicatious. _ symptoms 0_I Cutarrh.

Dr. Sage’s Cuturrh Bemedyfiwhen used with Dr. Plereo’s Nasal Done 0, and ac- companied with the constitutional treatment which is recommended in the pamphlet that wraps each bottle of tho Remedy. is a perfect specrfic for this loathsome disease, and the proprietor offers, in good faith. $500 reward fora case he can not cure. The Remedy is mild and pleasant to use. containing no strong or caustic ‘drugs or poisons. The Catarr Remedy is sold at 50 cerits, Douche at 60 cents, by all Draggists, or either will be mailed by prm prietor on receipt of 60 cents. B. V. PIERCE, 17!. 0.. rictor, ole Pro BUFFALO, N. Y.

But in all the glory of a J uric sunlight, the bright river glittering as it runs on to the sea, roses flinging their rich perfume on the soft air, soft musicg‘glending with the song of birds, the excuse and‘the object are some- times forgotten, arfii a _ delicious sense of purposeless idiom? and inexplicable enjoy- ment alone remain .°' At least such was the case with Philip Kerr, captain in the Royal Rifles, as, loan- iug'against a lreeflhe looked at the scene around him. " . What to him was the remembrance that two brothers stood between him and a title ? W hat the apparently certain fact that his father’s broad woodlands and the halls where he was‘born were not for him ? That his only home: was the headquarters of his regiment in a 4 garrison town, .or the dining room of the Bag and Famislr? It was nothing to him at that moment that his pockets were empty and his banking ac- count ovérdrawn. Had he not irreproach- able lavender kids on his hands, and as far as he was concerned, priceless boots on his aristocratieally small feet ? Above all, was there not smilingfiupon himpbetween her turns at croquet, the» only unmarried daughter of the great city firm of Richly, Alpafl’rk Co. ? Not very young and not very handsome, to be sure, but then there- was a dowry of thirty thousand down, and seventy thousand to come when the senior partner should take his flight to a better world, and that surely would balance thirty, years of age and a remarkably plain face. Besides, she was well inclined to regild with her wealth seine worn out coronet or, failing that, to attach herself 0‘3 a branch grafted on to some long descended family tree, and so enter “society? in her own right as fourteenth cousin by marriage to a peer of the realm, rather ,than be admitted by sufi‘erancc of dowagers on the lookout for heiresses. ‘ While awaiting. this desirable event she kept her hand in by series of unlimited and sentimental flirtatious with every agreeable and intelleclural man she fact; for Theo- dosiaRichley went in for intellect—high art, Broad Church notions and woman's rights —and Philip being particularly agreeable and passably intellectual, and above all, the third son of a Scotch baron, Theodosia. had selected him as her present, aid-de-ca , and attache. She [fad always the alterfi five, in allucases‘wljéu intellect asserted its superiority and became too troublesome, ol referring it to the senior partner, without whose conscnI, as she plainlively remarked, “I should but inflict on you a penniless wife my dearest Henry," or Robert, o.whaicver might be the christian name of the present aspirant ; and this reference generally ter- minated in the dismissal of the agreeable and intellectual being, no particular reason being given, and the fair Theodosia gently hoping that “thoqgh things were not pro- pitious, still friendship need not be broken." Then, by way of consolation, would arrive anonymous presents, and a sentimental cor- respondence would be kept up with the family ; but to this stage Philip had not yet arrived. _ He was content to he smiled upon, to dis- rega‘i‘d the warnibgs of wiser men than him- self, and drift down the stream, careless whether it stranded him on the sunny shore ofa home paid for by his heiress love, or dashed him on the barren rocks of foreign service. There were'just two or three things that Philip could not do. With all his many fascinations,his perfect moustache, his talen for soothing irate tailors, his seat on horse- back, ond his step in the valse, he could not be angry or stern with a woman, or, indeed, with any one. He could not take anything deeply at heart, and he could not fret or fume as to what might or might not be his destiny ;'and he leaned lazily against the tree and thought of nothing. The game was ended at last, and Miss Richley came toward him. “ I am very tired, Captain Kerr,” she rc- marked, “and the seats are all in the sun." It was a fair challenge, and Philip accept- ed it. He was a habitat: of [he house, and he knew of a shady walk; he could do no less than offer his arm to, the heiress and take her to it. And there they sat, the sunlight just play- ing through the branches and the river rip— pling by. There was a certain luxury and ease in all this which struck Philip. A vision came across him of the dull gar- rison town and the troop ship and the for- eign station, and then the contrast ; a home in England, hunting and shooting. London in the season, and the ’ moors in August ; and the thought shot across him, “One word, and this may be mine." Then came a flit- ting thonght of a fair young face, with its rosebud blushes and its trusting look. He put it away as too costly a bargain, and turned to the woman at his side. , Now he had certainly paid great attention to Miss Richly. They had been much ‘hrown together, and prudent relatives had implored him not to neglect so golden an opportunity,and here it was at once. He had but to speak and dare his fate. As well finish the matter now. Poor little Louie l Well, no doubt she would find a better fel- low thau he was, and so his resolution was taken. Truth to tell, Theodosia was expecting an offer from him every mo t. It was no new position to her, and her heart was too well arranged under her lightly laced silk boddice to indulge in fluttering. She has gone through the same thing some fifty-one times before, yet to-day she is puzzled. “Philip dear” is the lrandsomcst darling she has ever seen, except those Italian loves, the guardsa noble, and they are useless ; and then his father is a baron,who married a Lady Alice Somebody, .and his second brother is a clergyman, who married the widow of a dean, who was the daughter of an Archbishop. Yes, dear Philip is on all sides so well connected ; yet Theodosia was puzzled. A friend had only that day spoken to her of a Scotch baronet W110 desired an introduction, and then she would be a lady, if not in her own right at least in right of her husband. Yet the friend had said Sir M’Grcgor M’Gregor‘ had red hair, splay feet and an irritable temper; and dear Philip was so good looking, and with such a sweet dispo- sition ; so that between Philip’s charms and her own indecision she listened when he spoke of his “devoted love” with a pleasant smile, and he felt the (lay Was won, and that they were engaged. No, not engaged. She was too good a daughter for that— not engaged till she had spoken to her dear papa, and smoothed the way for Philip to appeal to him for his parental blessing. Phil would have dispensed With the bless- ' if the settlements had been all right with- “ it, but he had no choice; he tried to throw a lover like nrdor into his voice as he said, “Do not keep me too long in the agonies of suspense, dearest i’” but he felt being formally accepted, he could not be ex- pected to imprint a kiss on his fair one’s cheek. There was not much of a rose-bud blush, and a good deal ofpmldre dert'z there and it looked dusty, to say the least. Miss Richley had a strict sense of propriety or raiher a desire to avoid its being knowu to the world at large how far matters had gone in any little affair of this kind ; there- fore, Phil was not called upon for any dis. play of devotion; and when he put his heir- ess in the carriage which was to convey her back to the mansion of Marquis Square, where the family resided during the season, the farewell on either side was so studiously courteous and commonplace that the acutest of chaperons could not have detected any- thing particular. Phil charierad a hansornhlighted a cigar and drove back to London, pondering on his present position, and wondering lazily how it would all turn out; but as be dismissed his vehicle at the club door a woman offered him roses for sale. He stopped,and a shade _ came over his imciant face as he gave her a sixpencc and took a pad: tea rose from her stock. , “I wish I was a rich man for your sake. darling,” and the thought that flashed across his mind ; but the Rose bud to whom that thought was dedicated was far away across the seas, and Phil dismissed the passing cloud, and went up the steps humming a gay air. Next morning, however, his courage slightly failed him when he went to his nec- eSSary interview with the senior partner. If he did not succeed, he would probably have the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the commissioners in bankruptcy; and if he did. But the life that such sqcoess entailed offered a prospect not too agreeable to the well born, thoroughbred Philip Kerr. , Apparently the visions of the night had not presented the Scotch baronet, red hair, splay feet and all, in too delightful a view to Miss Theodosia Riehlcy ; “besides,” as she mentally observed, “after all, dearest Philip was an Honorable." So, dressed in a most elaborate morning costume, all white fur- belows and blue ribbon, she welcomed the rifleman with one of her most fascinating smiles. Mr. Richley, though only a shop keeper, was at heart a true gentleman, his daughter’s welfare and happiness were his first consid- eralion. “Let future husband,” he often said, bca gentleman, and above all a good man, and [’11 find the money for a house and home such as she has always been accus- tomed to.” '_ Under these circumstances Phil’s honest acknowledgement that he had nothing to offer in the way of settlement was no bar to his prospects. His handsome face, his kind- ly, genial manner, won Mr. Richley’s heart, and the acute old tradesmen read his char- acter truly. If he had no very strong points about him, at least he had no very weak ones. His virtues and vices were all of the negative order, execpt"thal he possessed a splendid temper. The parental consent and blessing were soon given ; and then appeared on the scene Mrs. Richley, who, dilly prompted by her daughter, added her blessing and congratu- lations, till Phil felt he could do no less than kiss his bride elect in a mostcalm and deco was way, in full view (as was proper) of her loving parents. Moreover, he was invited to take up his abod‘e there for the remaining fortnight of his leave ; audio 0. good or evil hour, as it may seem to each individual reader, be ac- cepted. The luxurious establishment in Marquis Square suited not only Phil’s notions of comfort better than his third floor bedroom, and his club dinner, but 495.0 the state of his pockets. Rooms and dinner were gratis in Marquis Square ; that was a great point. All went well for a few days, till the arrival of some country cousins, who, being newly married, expected to see every couple of lovers as demonstrative as they were themselves. Phil did not do enough kissing to please them ; he did not squeeze his fair ' one’s hand in a corner, and he made himself generally agreeable without seeking perpetual tete-a-tetes 4 with his fina'nceeT “My dear Theodosia," observed Mrs. Rus- sell one evening on their return from the opera, whither Phil had escorted them, “I suppose it is not the fashion ; but really now if my William in our courting days had not put his arm round my waist as we drove in a carriage, and in the dark, too, I should have been seriously uneasy.” Another time it was, “Dearest, how very odd that Captain Kcrsnever seems to care to be alone with you! My William could not bear-a third person in the room 1” Theodosia might have disregarded this, but her own sense told her that Phil was not a devoted lover ; and though the congratu- lations of the Kerr family had been most enthusiastic, though they had mentally adopted Theodosia and her thirty thousand as a daughter and sister dear to their aris- tocratic hearts, yet there were sundry out- lying members who preserved the right to opinions of their own, and would have pre- ferred Phil‘s bride cousié erably younger and very much prettier even if her pockets were not so well lined. Now this heresy against the right divine of gold, Theodosia secretly resentedaind again she had visions of the baronet and thought that “Lady M’Gregor" sounded quite as well as, or better than, the “Hon. Mrs. Kerr.” In short, having landed her fish, Theodosia was getting weary of it. The pleasure to herwas in the catching, not the keeping, and Phil was far-too secure and careless to please her. Courteous and gentlemanly he could not fail to be, but he was no actor. He could not assume a virtue he had not ; and he could not look impassioned, and he could not speak poetically, when he was feeling peculiarly cool and indifferent. So the time went on, till on the morning that he was to leave, it was Mrs, not Miss Richley, who greeted him on his entrance to the library. ' “It is a very painful task, Captain Keir, that is inipOscd upon me, but I have no re- source,” were her opening words. “I cannot control my daughter’s feelings; indeed in this instance I quite coincide in them ; so does her father. We feel that there does not exist between you the love which alone can render marriage a state of blessing, and it is better at once to end this hastily formed engagement.” Phil stared, but said nothing. Mrs. Richley, having applied a filmy pocket-handkerchief to her eyes, went on : “Do not answer me, Captain Kerr, (Phil by the way had not attempted it) this de- cision is final ; yet, as an interview with my H ! useless°to yourself,rnnst beg you will at once leave the house without urging it." a certain sense of relief in the fact that, not daughter would be very painful to her and. What could Phil say ? A certain sense of relief, too, flashed over his mind. He simply bowed. expressed his thanks for the hospi- tality and kindness he had received, his re- gret at the sudden and, he must observe, unexplained termination of his engagement, and requested that a cab might be called to transport himself and his portnianteau to the club. " ' So ended Phil’s dream of an heiress. Yet that heartless young man was actually heard tthistie “A to o cara l” as he drove away from Marquis Square; and Mrs. Rich- ley would have felt herselfmorc than ever justified had she read his thoughts: “Free even if a beggar. Rose bud, I may think of you lovingly now." Phil did not lament when he found next morning that sudden orders had come for the regiment to sail for Canada. One week later and lie was on board the troop ship, as it steamed down the Mersey, and the band struck np,"The girl I left be- hind mc." A dour, sweet face seemed to- hover before him with bright, soft eyes, not cast up and down and sideways like Theo- dosia’s pale gray orbs. but yet Which spoke of a bashful affection as true as ever throbbed in the heart of a gently born English maiden. Yes, the hackneyed old tune carried his thoughts away to a by-gone time and a Southern land, and Phil Kerr came to the conclusion that he was, as he himself would have expressed it, "a brute,” and that he had been a “big fool,” Phil we} the only patient passenger on board ; for, strange to say, he had begun to think, and seriously too. Perhaps the brac- ing sea air affected his easy going ideas on many subjects ; perhaps it was that he had nothing to do but to smoke, play whist and think ; but certain it is that the gallant, self- satisfied andlcai'eless Phillbcgun to think his honorable self but doubtfully worthy of that true love. It might be, too, that the last month had shown him more of his better nature than he ever knew before; that love was as nec- essary to his happiness as, gold ; and that a future lay befbre him far boiler and truer than a wealthy marriage could give. Phil Kerr was a changed and better man. A year has passed before we see him again,and now it is in the capital of the work—Rome; a saloon in the Hotel Cos- tanzi, a scent of orange blossoms and a lady and gentleman breaking the seals of their English letters—Philip and his bride, the Rose-bud. . A sad and fatal boat accident had ended the lives of his two elder brothers; his father had died, died of a broken heart for the loss of “his bonny boys," and Philip, Lord Kerr had resigned his commission and hastened to Florence, where Rosie Amherst lived with her brave old soldier father and her gentle mother. He wood and won the Rose-Una of his dreams, and there was no complaint this time of a love-like ardor ; and now they sit side by side, in an attitude good Mrs. Russell would have highly approved of, reading their letters. ' “By Jove i” exclaimed Phil, “Rosie, look that foolish affair was broken off—you know was afl‘air, don’t you, dear ‘2” Phil here twisted his moustache, after the fashion of embarrassed Englishmen in gen- eral who possess such an appendage. “I know all about it. You were a very naughty boy to thing of selling yourself for gold. 1 only wonder you did not go be- hind the counter to qualify yourself for a junior partner—Richley, Alpaca, Kerr & Go. How very distinguished it would have sounded ?" Rosie met her justly meritedpunishme-it for this bit of sarcasm, and a reconciliation having been established, which included sundry pulls (.f Phil’s chestnut locks, that much tried individual continued : “Well, then, Rose-bud, after that sad acci- dent I had a letter from old Mrs. Richley, asking me to stay there when I returned to England. I came off so hurriedly that I never answered ; and then, you see, I started for Florence.” “I know all about that," replied Rosie, nod. ' ding her head a la Burlcigh. “Now you see, pet,” Phil went on, “the paragraph in the Times and Morning Post cannot be published in England till to-day ; but it is more than a fortnight since Iwrote to my agent, giving him my address here, and he has forwarded the letter. Read it, Rosie, will you ?” Rosie took the letter. The perfume of patchouly clung about it yet, and the mono- gram was gorgeous in green and mauve and gold. An irresistible smile broke over her bright young face as she read it : My Dear Philip—or rather, I suppose inns forget the past and call you Lord Kerr— do indeed congratulate you on your new honors, and they could fall to no one more worthy. Your extended views of life, your liberal ideas on every point, render you pe- culiarly fitted to hold a high place in this age of progress. After you left, I refused Sir M’Gregor M’Gregor. He had persevered for some months, but in vain. CouldI bury myself in that Highland castle with his dreadful sisters (three confirmed spinsters) and his dogs and horses ? N 0. Though he ofiered magnificent settlements, what were they to me ? Nothing to what my father could have given me, less than nothing compared with one memory of the past ! You know me. I could not live without intellectual society—intellectual and devoid of bioolry ; a society in which you would shine. It was my parents that parted us; I yielded to their will. Forgive me and at least let us be friends, even if we are never to be more thin friends to each other. Write to me that you are well and happy. Ah, would that your happiness stilldepended upon me. It would be the hourly study oflyour devoted Imonosu. Rosie fairly laughed aloud. “Poor old thing 1” she said ; “what. a queer jumble of strong-mindedness and sen- timentality. But Phil, you never loved her?” “Never, darling, never; and I should have given the same answer—‘Much obliged, but otherwise disposed of—even if this precious epistle had not come too late’. She would have bought me with gold ; little sorceress, you bought me with smiles and blushes and priceless love. Heaven «be praised for that Scotch baronct, for I really believe he came to her rescue just in lime ; and, thanks to him, I have lost an heiress and won a Rose- bud.” Mrs. Fair, since 'her new trial was granted, is getting fat and jolly. Some Japanese females are to enter Vas‘ sar College next month. Leaves, buds and flowers are :niore worn in bonnets than feathers.

Some one having been telling of Mr. Io- dcx, in London, who died lately leaving the enormous fortune of $75,000,000, and of the gorgeous monument of the Rhode Island Spragues, which is to cost $100,000, and of the wondrous wealth and profusion of Tweed and Stewart, and other shoddy mag- natcs and niiilionaries, the Richmond lu- quirer tells us how people had big fortunes, and built fine houses, and gave dinners, and drankfine wines, and spent money in other ways in the, old times ere Lodex was, or Stewart named. Thus it is that the Eu- quirer takes the shine out oftho nineteenth century. Why, what is Tweed, or Steivart, or Mr. Lodcx, or Belmont, or the Rolhscbilds, or the Marquis of Westminister, to Ptolemy Philadelphus, of Egypt, who amassed a little properly of $850,000,000? And which of our extravagant young ladies in tirade boasted times over gave licrlover, as Cleopa- tra did, a pearl dissolved in vinegar (0i- un- dissolved) worth $400,000? That’s half the expense of Miss Tweed’s wedding at a dash, and would dress one of our Baltimore and Washington bellies for forty years. Then there was Paulina, one of the ten in Rome, who used to wear jewels when she retrrrucd her visits, worth $800,000. Well, they boast of Mr. Stewart's “marble palace” upon 34th street and Fifth avenue. We do not suppose this house, which is about the best they have in New York, cost more than half a million dollars. Well, Cicero, who was a poor man, gave $150,000 for his house, and Clodius paid $650,000 for his stablisliment, for the house of A'ntony. Seneca. who was just a plain philosopher like Mr. Greeley, was worth $12,000,000. Tiberius left a property of nearly $120,000,- 000. Why they talk about a man’s failing in New York fora million as if it was a big thing. Caesar, before he entered on ‘ any oflice—when he was a young gentleman in private life—owned $14,000,000, and he purchased the friendship of Quaisor for $3,- 500,000. Mark Antony owed $1,500,000 on the Ides of March and he paid it before the Kalends ofMarch. This was nothing-he public money—Major Hodge’s defalcation being for the contemptible sum of $4t0,000. And these fellows lived well. Esopns who was a play actor, paid $400,000 for a single dish. Caligula spent $400,000 on a supper. Their wines were often kept for two ages, and some of them sold for $20 an ounce. They roasted hogs whole at their banquets. They were fond of ram’s head pie, and pastry stuffed with raisens and nuts. Dishes were made of gold and silver, set with precious stones. The. beds of Helliogabalus were of solid silver, his table and plates were of pure gold, and his mat- tresses, covered with carpets of cloth of gold, were stuffed with down from under the wing of'the partridge. . It took $80,000 a year to keep up the dig- nity of a Roman Senator—and some of them spent $5,000,000 :2 yes: . Cicero and Pompey “dropped iii" one ay on Lucullns—nobody at home but the 0 But we talk of population. We boast of London and New York. Home had a popu- lation ofbetweeniliree and four millions. The wooden theatre of Scaurus contained eighty thousand seats; the Collossenm, built of stone, would seat 87,000, and afford ed standing space for 22,000 more. The Circus Maximus (think of it. Old John Rob. ison i) would . 285,000 spectators.’ There were in th 9,000 public baths,- those of Diocletian alone accommodating 3,200 bothers. Even inthc sixth century, after Rome had been sacked and plundered by the Goths and Vandals, Zachariah, a traveler, asserts that" there were three hun- dred and eighty-four spacious streets; eighty gold statues of the gods; forty-six thousand and ninety-seven palaces ; thir- teen thousand and fifty-two fountains; three thousand, seven hundred and eighty five bronze statues of the emperors and generals; twenty-two great horses in bronze ; two col- lfisi; two spiral columns; thirty-one thcao tres; eleven amphitheatres; nine thousand and twenty-six baths; two thousand and three hundred shops of perfumes; two thousand and ninety one prisons. As a set-off to Mr. Spragne’s “monumen- tal tombstone,, we may merely mention the Mausoleum of Agustns in the northern part of the Campus Marlins, consisting of a large tumnlus of earth, raised on a lofly basement of white marble, and covered on the summit With evergreens as in the manner of a hang. ing garden—the whole surmounted by a bronze statue of Agustus. At the entrance were two Egyptian obelisks, fifty feet high, and all around was an extensive ~ grove, divided into walks and terraces. We have not space to speak of the Forum Romanum, the Forum Julium, the Theatre of Pompey, the Temple of Apollo, the Thea- tre of Marcellus, the Paniheum, the palace of Nero, (entirely overlaid with jewels and mother-of-pearl), the Clandian Aqueduct. the Flavian Amphitheatse, the Collossenm, the Arch of Titus, the Villa of Hadrian, the Baths of Caracalla—nor the great Roman roads, straight as an arrow, paved like the streets of a city, divided by mile-stones, and having houses for travelers every five or six miles—affording uninterrupted commu- nication from the wall of Antoninns through York, London, Sandwich, Bouiogne Rhcims, Lyons, Milan, Rome, Bruuduism, Dyrrach- irrm, Byzantium, Ancyra, Tarsus, Antioch.

Nor have we space to refer to Thebes, in Egypt (which had a population of 2,500,- 000), and that noble palace with its grand columns, whose corniccs were inlaid with ivory mountings or sheathed with beaten gold —nor Alexandria, whose annual port dues were $3,000,000, and whose library, in an age when books were rare, contained 700,000 volumes—nor to Capua, the second city of Italy—nor to Rhodes and its 3,000 statues and 106 colossi one of them one of the seven wonders of the world, costing $3,000,000—rior to Antioch, with a street four miles long, perfectly level. and double colonadcs through its whole length—nor to Athens, and the Parthenon, and the Theatre of Baccus, the most beautiful in the world, which seated 30,000 persons—nor to Cornilii and its pictures—nor to Syracuse and its fortress, one mile long by 'half a mile in breadth—nor to Tyre, and Carthage, and Babylon, and Bagdad, and Memphis, and Ephesus, and Byzantium and a hundred more.

An Indlgnant Wire. There was a little “episode” at Wild’s Opera House last night that had not been previously advertiser]. It was one of thosll impromptu affairs that sometimes occur in households not well regulated. It was a b" 0f Play in one act, in which a husband, a woman of the town, and an indignant wife appeared. The scene opened with the ap- genmnce of the town woman and the bus- and. They took seats in the orchestra chairs, and the husband made himself par- “(finally agl'eeiible. Things went on swim- mingly, and the husband doubtless thought all was well—but he hadn’t looked behind him. If he had done so he could have seen a tall, well-dressed lady enter the Opera House and carefully scrutinize himself and companion. One or two glances seemed to satisfy her perfectly, and then she delibe- rately walked down the center aisle and stood before the loving couple. About V srx hundred ladies and gentlemen turned their eyes from the actors on the stage and fastened them on the towering form of the indignant woman and waited. They were not obliged to wait long. The storm burst. sSit-V‘g’de—“Ain’t you ashamed of yourself, Husband—“Sit—sit—sit—down,my dear." Wife—“Sit down beside you and that thing there 1’" _ . Husband—“Don’t talk so loud 1 You see they all hear you. Now don’t.” Wife—“I hope they.will all hear. (And she talked louder.)

At the cor he tried to avoid her, but ' she collared irn, and again the audience cheered. It is oped she led him home a wiser, if not a etter man. 4‘ _l a O‘D‘E'Qa C To TIIE Gums—We have lately seen it stated that in one town, four girls were married at the some hour, about eighteen months ago. Two of them have separated from their husbands, and the other two are trying for divorces. Such things ought to wake up the girls to a sense of their danger. Girls talk and laugh about marriage as though it was a jubilee, a jolly, gladsome thing, a rose without a thorn. And so it is, if it is all right, if they go about it like rational beings, instead of merry making children. It is a serious thing to marry. It is a life business, and that 'of heart and hap- piness. Therefore never do it in haste never run army to get married ; never steal a marriage; never marry for wealth, or standing, or fine person, or manners, but only for character, for worth, for the quali- ties of mind and heart which make an hon- orable man. Take time, think long and well before you accept any proposal, con- suit your parents,then some judicious Iriend, then your own judgment. Learn all it is - possible for you to learn of your proposed husband ; when all doubts are removed, and not till then, acCcpt him. , o How A 0.1er: or Hmnornom was Comm—A correspondent of the Detroit Tribune describes at some length a fearful case of hydrophobia, where the 'man was in convulsions, “barking like a dog," fi'othing at the month, and making strenuous efi'orts to bite everything that came near. The doc- tors dccided to place the patient under the same treatment which had been successfiil in a former case, which, for the aid it may be to others who suffer from this disease. we here give as follows :—The injection under the skin of large doses of morphine and the administration of large doses of cas- tor, which is. a powerful anti-spasmodic. About one grain of thc'sulphate of morphine was injected under the skin once in four hours, and a half a drachm of the powdered caster, mixed with syrup, given internally. The offset was to produce sleep in about half an hour, which lasted about an hour and a half, when the convulsions returned at intervals of- an hour to an hour and a half until 9 o’clock Sunday morning, when the last convulsion occurred, 'afler which he suffered severely from obstinate vomiting until Monday at ten o’clock, when that also ceased, leaving the patient comparatively easy, but very much prostrated. Since that time he has gradually improved, and now is, to all appearances, quite well. In addi- tion to the above treatment small quantities of chloroform were inhaled at times, and on Sunday morning the patient was wrapped in a woolen blanket wrung out of a warm solution of mnriate of ammonia,'eighteen to twenty grains to the ounce. This wastho treatment which checked this fearful malady and which the doctors, for the sake of hu- manity, are anxious should be published to the world, and thoroughly tested. -———9—o. AMERICAN Honsns non. Juan—Our readers have doubtless noticed two large bay horses driven by Mr. S.'S. Vaughn, of. this city, about our streets during ‘the past year. Every body admired them, and they were regarded as the finest pair of matched horses in the West. Saturday Mr. A. B. Capron, the purchasing agent of ~ the Japa- nese government having heard of them came to the city, and after looking them- over immediately closed a bargain-for them. He said he purchased them for the. immedi- ate use of the Emperor of Japan, and that they were the finest pair of horses» he, had seen. The common mustang horse is the kind commonly used in Japan, and the agent thinks this pair will create a good deal of admiration in Japan, and show them what kind of an animalia horse can bc-made by cultivation. The money was "paid for the horses, and they are to be shipped for San Francisco as soon as ordered by the agent, Mr. Vaughn in the meantime "r'eceiv- ing a handsome price for taking care 0 them until they are ordered. Mr. Vaughn called one of them “Membrino,” and the other “Champion.” The former was ’sired by “Membrino Chief," and will be seven years of age this spring. The latter was sired by “Champion,” and will be six years old this spring. Both of them are sixteen and a half hands high, and are as perfectly matched as any two horses we ever saw.— Jacksmt (Mich) Patriot. . .v—O——_ “Which of the Feejee Islands are you from ‘9" asked a visitor of one of Barnum’s cannibals, the other day.
