the ship “settled down and dived under, head-for-

1D
Good-by, my noble love, good-by ;
0 i never more may these fond eyes
Look into thine. O I must thou lie
Beneath these dreadful waves? Nor rise
When I shall call thee, I, thy bride ?
”I love thee so, my husband, let me stay
And share thy cruel fate close to thy side ;
Death would be sweet, if I might lay
My young head on thy faithful b‘reast,
‘ And die with thee, I should be blest.
Dear love, I cannot hear to hear thee
Call me darling ; my breaking heart
.New anguish knows, when I but see
The quivering of thy lips, usnow we part.
My heart so longs for but one hour
In which to tell thee o’er and o’er,
How loving and how true a wife
I thought to be ; bllt I shall dream no
more. .

Attention is now being called to the
New Yonu’s WATER SUPPLY.—Thc resi~
dents of New York city breathe freer now
that it has been discovered that the water
supply is sutficient for their wants for many
cars to come, even 1f the city grows as
fast as predicted. Many plans have been
suggested for making use of the salt water
which 'surrounds the island in case the
Croton supply should prove insufficient.
Mr. Tracy, the engineer-in-chief of the de-
partment of public works, on Tuesday ap-
peared before a committee and said that,
for the past ten years all the water passing
over the Croton dam had‘ been measured
and had averaged 340,000,000 gallons daily.
The storage reservoirs contain 200 000,000
gallons _more than were needed for daily
use, while the aqueduct has a capacity of
104,000,000 gallons; but whenever the daily
wants of the city shall exceed that amount,
another aqueduct will have to be built.
The aqueduct is most substantially built,
and only an earthquake could make it
useless.’ The average daily supply of
Croton water in 1870‘ was 85,000,000 gal-
lons ; in 1871, 87,000,000; in 1872, 91,000,000
gallons; in January, 1873, 101,000 000 gal-
lons ; and in February. 1873, 104,000,000.
The officials say that there can the no lack
of water but there has been difficulty in
getting it down town,.and this is being
remedlcd by the use of larger pipes. ‘A
destructive fire like those of Chicago and'
Boston is considered impossible. If the
water of the river should be needed. it could
be made as available by means of properly
constructed boats as by reservoirs. Pro-
fessor Chandler appeared before the com-
mittee and said that the Croton water-shed
will supply 806,000,000 gallons dal’IY- The
city reservoirs hold about ten days SUPPLY 3
while the reservoir at Boyd 001' “0“ 3 holds
mm days’ supply. Storaoe reservon‘s
wou d be desirable, and the Toughkeepsre
plan, of raising water from the Hudson,
might be used advantageously, but it would .
be‘very expensive. Salt water will corrode
iron pipes. Placing meters in certain places
would drive manufacturers out of the city
into localities where water can be obtained
free of cost. He said that there is plenty of
water for the city, but the difilculty could
wooden railroads that terminate in Quebec,
Of which there are over ahundred miles in
operation. The guage of these wooden rail-
roads is four feet eight and a half inches.-
The rails are made of hard maple wood,
size four ‘by seven inches, are set cdgeways,
and are notched into the cross ties four
inches deep, being secured in their places
by wedges driven outside of the rail. The
ties are eight inches thick, and are laid
twenty inches apart. The cars have four
wheels, and pains are taken to have the cars
and locomotives as light as possible. The
rails are said to last tour years, if made of
good wood, and not subjected to heavy
strains. In some instances trains have been
drawn over these roads at the speed of thir-
ty-fiye miles per hour, by locomotives
weighing thirty tons. These wooden rail.
roads seem to answer very well for light
I traffic, and .they are so calculated that iron
rails may be substituted for those of wood
when business requires “the chan e. The
cost of these roads varies fiom ,000 to
$7,000 per mile, according to the amount of
grading to be done; This is going back to
first principles. for the first railroad was
equipped with wooden rails.
‘
Our Wives.
Die Lewis, M. D., thus treats the subject
of marriage: “There are certain qualities
indispensable to agood wife. Health is fun-
damental. Without this, all accomplish-
ments are a vain show. Nothing whatever
can compensate for the lack of good diges-
tion and a quiet nerve. If the queen of his
castle_ sits in the darkness of dyspepsia or
writhes. in the agonies of tie douloureux,
the recollection that she shone as the bright
particular star at one Madam Pompadour’s
finishing seminary, or that at Saratoga lasI
season she astonished even the prbfessionais
' with her executions of Bache's composi-
tions, will not penetrate the gloom of his
home with a single ray of light. His house
may be filled with _se;vants, but only one
being is near and dear to him, and that one
perpetually whines, ‘Oh, don’t light the gas,
I can’t bear the light, and please don’t walk
so heavy. 0h, Charles, please don’t speak
so loud. Oh dear me, my head is dreadful I
Oh, dear me, dear me I’ We repeat, health
is fundamental. It may not be necessary in
the next world, but in this world it is abso-
lutely essential. Without it high birth, ed-
ucation, accomplishments, and wealth are
all nothing—all a mere mockery. Health
is by no means all that enters into the make-
up of a wifely success, but without it the
rarest qualities of hand and heart will at
least help her to achieve a beautiful failure.
Our dear friend, Professor R, married a
beautiful and cultivated lady, full of all
womanly sweetness. In consulting us a few
months after the wedding about her health,
she exclaimed, ‘I can not have it so ! I must
in some way recover my health. Why did
I net attend to it before? No woman with
weakness has a right to become a wife!
What'can be done? I would do anything
to secure a sweet, healthy condition of my
body. Do tell me what to do.’ Thousands
of women weep bitter tears when, afteaahe
ceremony, they find themselves unfit for the
marriage relations. Thousands and thous-
. ands of mep are turned back in their love
~ .by finding that, instead of the sweet, perfect
I
' meats and disease.
being they had fancied, there is deficiency
and disease. The new husband finds that
the beautifully moulded form he, had' ad-
mired so long is only a trick of the dress-
maker, and the body which had ed so
sweet and pure is the victim o .. place-
‘ Thousands and thou
sands of husbands turn away in bitter dis-
appointment. This is the source of num-
berless heart-breakings among married peo-
pic.”
NOAn’s REAL NAME—II is said that the
Chinese declare that Noah’s real name was
Ah Boo, and that he resided in Pekin.
Unfortunately Noah’s family Bible was lost
in the flood, and we cannot ascertain from
it exactly what his name was. His door.
plate also seems to be missing, and he had
a very careless way 'of neglecting to mark
his shirts; so we are bafiled in that direc-
tion. We have inquired at the libraries for
a copy of the Pekin directory of that. date
to see if Noah really figured in its pages;
the only copy any one of them had was out.
For our part, we do not believe that his
name was Ah Boo, or that he resided in
Pekin. These Chiuamen really 'claim
everything that is going from gunpowder up
to newspapers. If we give them any ground
on the Noah business, the firSt thing we
know they will be out with the assertion
that the ark was, insured in the Pekin Mu-
tual Company, and that Noah ,- used to give
the Pekin newspaper people free tickets to
go in and see the animals perform. The
interests of Christianity require that we
should believe the Bible.—N. 1". Sunday

WE SHALL Ear Tun FRUIT—A black-
smith had iu his possesion, but under mort-

many others, he was at one time fond of the
social glass, but was happily induced by a
friend to join the temperance society.
About three months after he observed his
wife one morning busily employed planting
rose-bushes and fruit-trees. '

The abolition of the franking privilege
on the score of economy looks as though it
will become more of a humbug than a suc-
cess. As an evidence, the appropriation for
stamps for the difierent departmentsexceeds
by three hundred thousand dollars the
amount appropriated last year under the
old system. Of course the expense of tran-
sporting the mails will continue the same,
so that the change will make no reductlon
in this item. There is no doubt of the abuse
of the frankine; privilege, but we think this
could have been corrected without 1ts_ abo-
lition, and we trust that public sentiment
will be so stirred up on the subject that the
next Congress will be induced to remodel
the law as it now stands. The prepayment
of postage on newspapers will be severely
felt by the local press of the country. The
is the worst feature of the law, as .the elrcu-
lation of information should .be taxed as
lightly as possible.

city; but I could not help stopping on my
way to attend this ~mectiug ill Chicago.”
Here a voice from the multitude was heard
by all : “Chicago is not on that roar .” The
effect was electrical, especially upon the
poor old gentleman, who was so confused
that he could say no more, and was obliged
to sit down. ' '
Abankrupt merchant gathered together
the fragments of his fortune and went to
California. He put all that he had into a
mill on the bank of a stream. Just when
the mill was finished there came a great
{reshet and swept it away. When Ethe
waters had subsided the man walked Ollt
with heavy heart to look at the ruins. As
he walked along the bank he saw some-
thing gleaming in the rock. He'lookcd and
found gold. The floods which swept awa
his mill laid bare a mine of wealth. Sue

the hair where the follicles are de-

Saved by this application, and stimu-

of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion‘ of dandruff, which is often so un-

A Tale Ora Shirt.
In Merced there dwells a married man,
whose wife is a stylish and thoughtful
woman, ever on the alert to fix up her dar-
ling "hubby” so that he will outshlne any-
body else’s darling “hubby.” Some tlme
since she conceived the idea of construcling
for her liege lord an outfit of open-backed
Shirts. How she discovered that there
were such articles—opening reversely—and
how she ot a pattern are matters of specu-
lation. Certain it is that she constructed
them upon the approved model, “did them
up” nicely, and laid them in John’s speclal
burea drawer, and revelled in the thought
of de John’s pleasant surprise. His sur-
prise was complete, and reached. its maxr-
mum when he attempted to put the thing
on. He had a “dim notion that he must
stand on his head or stick his feet throu h
first. but his wife knew. better. or
w oman's tact taught her that this was’nt the
.way, so she helped him put it on over his
head. Then he couldn’t get his arms in the
sleeves. Next he pulled it OR‘ and put his
arms through first. _ Thenhe couldn’t get it
on over his head. Finally a brilliant idea
seized them both, after a half hour’s work
on the wrong tuck. He bent himself over
in the form of an inverted letter U with his
arms outstretched, and atler a short strug-
gle, assisted by Julia, the thing was done,
all but the buttoning, and of course he
couldn’t do that unassisted. That week
John was as happy as anigger in a Major
General’s uniform, but Saturday brought its
revenge. He must take a‘ bath, so he hied
to Riley’s, walked into one of his unoccu-
pied bath-rooms and disrobed—that is, all
but the shirt. He couldn’t nnbuiton it, but
after a desperate efi‘ort he succeeded in
bursting off all the buttons. . This was at
least a partial victory, and he proceeded to
struggle with what was to. come. He
wrestled in despair with the obdurate
garment but come off it wouldn't He
struggled frantiCRIIy, savagely; but ’twas
no use; it stuck tighter than a mother-lu-
law. Finally in sheer desperation he
ripped up one side seam, from the extremity
to the neck-band, and he stood relieved.
Dressing himself—all but the shirt, which
he rolled up in a newspaper—and buttoning
his coat tightly around his.breast, he re-
paired to his home. And here he greeted
the partner of his joys as follows : “See here,
Jule, is there any law making me wear this
confounded shirt?” “No, John dear,” was
her meek answer. “‘15 there any law,” he
continued,“‘compelling you to manufacture
the cussed things?” A shake of her head
answered this query. “Well," said he, “I'm
glad of it, and the next time you make me
one of these darned things I’m blessedif you
shan’t wear it yourself" His shirts don’t
open in the back any more.
The Prototype of American Wits.
Falstaff may be regarded as the mighty
progenitor ofthe American knack of exag-
gerating in such a way as to make a thing
ridiculous. Indeed, I am of the opinion that
emigration,whieh has imparted his physis
cal fullness to man, has also imparted his
humor. We have not fallen away vilely.
We do not dwindle. Mr. Dickens declares
that the national habit of expectoration is
on the scale of the country’s streams. The
flashes of saliva flew out of the car windows
in a way that looked as though they were
ripping open feather beds. There is a gen-
uine descendant ofFalsiafi‘ who must always
have lived at Gads hill. You recall when
Grip was sick : “Towards eleven o’clockhe
was so much worse that it was found neces-
. sary to mufile the stablelock." That is very
simple compared with our wa . We have
made improvements in the alstaffian sys-
tem. Almost any newspaper might furnish
examples. We are told of grass in Colorado
that is so short that you have got tolather it
before you can mow it. I heard of a man
who moved about so leisurely that when he
works in the garden the shade of" his hat
kills the plants. Ano'her man wakes up in
the morning after a day spent in hunting
strawberries. He finds he can use only one
eye, the other being engaged in holding his
check, which had marched .over it. It Was
a case of dogwood. There was a man
once who stood on his head to have a pair
of tight boots driven on his feet. He found
himself sh(.1y after in China, perfectly
naked, and without a cent in his ockets,
There was Captain Jones on boar of his
schooner, one summer afternoon, observed a
heavy cloud rising from the land. Before
he could take in sail, millions of mosquitoes
broke upon his vessel, and part of the flock
went thr'ough the sail, leaving nothing but
the ropes. Another skip er who heard the
story compared dates Wll Captain Jones,
The skipper declared that he was b0arded
by the same flock, two days afterward, and
they all were canvas breaches. Apropos of
this, I recall a pair of pantaloons which was
distributed to one of the sufferers by the
forest fire. It was found upon trial to be
ridiculously small. The man’s wife wanted
to know if there lived or breathed a man
who had legs no bigger. If there did, he
ought to be taken up for vagrancy as having
no visible means of support, It was disv
cussed in the family whether or not to use
them for gun-cases. Falstaff says you might
have thrust Shallow into an ell-skin. It is
the same Shakesperean tone and style which
we have all inherited. Sometimes” this
breadth of imagination produces the effect of
wit by bringing two incongruous ideas unv
der one sta. ent, Duringa political pl‘Oe
cession a re arkably dirty man stepped in
front of a small boy sitting on a fence, ex-
pecting to have some fun by chafiing him.
He said : “How much do you weigh ?” The
answer was : “Well, about as much as you
would if youwerc washed ” The boy’s Wit
recalls to you Charles Lamb’s remarks to
another person; “Martin, if dirt was trumps
what hands you would hold.” I have always
noticed. that American imagination would
be quite capable of composing fables in the
spirit of the east. Like, for instance, a hand-
book which attributed to animals the pos-
session of the motives .of men. JIISI as a
traveler was writing his name on the regis-
ter ofa Leavenworth hotel, a certain insect
took its way across the page. Laying down
the pen, the man remarked, “I have been
bled by Kansas City spiders and interview-
ed by Fort Scott graybacks, but .d—n me
if I was ill a hotel where these insects look
over the register to take the number of your
room.”——J. Weiss’s Lectures on Shakespeare.

Tile Truthz—A Yorkshireman went to con-
sult one of the most consciencious. of law-
yers, and, after stating his case, said, “New,
511‘, 1 know you’re a lawyer, but I wish you
would Just please to tell me the truth about
this matter.”
The mysterious suicide of a Miss Annie C-
Doyle put the Washington quidnuncs in a
state of ferment the other do .. The 'excite-
ment subsided when it was iscovered that
the story arose from the breaking the neck
of a bottle of anisecd oil.
A Sherifi‘in Florida was requested to re-
sign. He wrote back: “Your communica-
tion is received, stating that my resignation
will meet the approval of the Governor.
It does not meet mine.” And so, like some
bigger lnen who have talked -of resigning,
he didn’t.
