voung scoundrel rush into the bed
room and lock the door. “There,
by the Eternal II have caught yoa at

band, and the first move he made
wa* to rush to tho wall where bung
their marriage certificate, incased in
a beautiful frame. In an instant
that which proclaimed them man
and wife was burled on tbe carpet
and crash went the husband’? foot
through the glass. Before the as
tonished young wife could rush
into her huahand a arras or offer
■me word of explanation, he snatch
ed the certificate from tho mass of
broken glasa and stuffed it into the
fire. Then be tore around tho
room, accusing her of being uu-
failliful, and bringing disgrace and
ruin upon his home and life, and
blasting his prospects for tbe fu
ture. Uy this time he had worked
himself up to the neeea*arv pitch,
and rushed to the bed-room to re
duce tbe curly haired cuss to mince
meat. Just at he reached tbe door
and opened it, out rushe't the
frightened Clara, hastily fsbsd iu

Some few years since, ui the coun
ty of Penobscot, there lived a man
by the name of lianre, whose great
est ple-is no wa* in tormenting oth
ers. His own family were gener
ally the hull of hi* sport. One cold
and blustering night lie retired to
bed atau early hour, his wife being
absent at a nciglib o V Some time
after she returned. On fi-.ding tbe
do Jr dosed, she demanded admit-
tan- c.
“Who are youVcried Mr. Hance.
“You know who 1 am. Let me
in; it's very cold.”
“Begone, you strolling vagabond!
I want notliiog of you here.”
“Bat 1 must come iu.”
“What is your name?”
“Yon know iny name. I: is Mrs.
Hance.”
“Begone! Mrs. Hance is a very
likely woman. Sho never keeps
sneb late hours as this.”
“If- yon don’t let me in I will
drown myself in the well,” Mrs. H.
replied.
“Do. if you please,” ho replied.
She then to -k a log, plunged it
info the well, and returned to the
side of the door. Mr. li M hearing
the uui«e, rushed from the house to
rare, a* lie supposed, his drowning
wife. She at the same time slipped
in. an 1 closed the door after her.
Mr. II., almost naked, in turn de
manded admittance.

“You kun.v who I am. Let me
in, or I shat! freeze.”
“Ih-gonc, you lhicri*h rogue! I
want nothing of yon here.”
“But I must I come tn.’’
“What I* your name?”
“You know my name. It ia Mr.
Hance.”
“Mr. Hance is a very likely man.
Uc don’t keep such lato hours.”
Suffice ft to say that Mr*. II, a fr

The broken leg was useless anil

swollen from the lues to the knee
and waa colored a dark purple. The
circulation wa* alnio-t stopped, and
the leg and foot InTaine cold. The

only the toes touched the floor. Tla-
fainily physician exhausted his akill

In the morning tho foot, anklo and

■he thought flashed upon him: If
God healed the foot can ito not also

not give her the medicine, hut went
and kneeled down at n sofa in.front
of her bed and there silently pray
ed : “Oh Lord! make her" every

mother, though looking et him

and dreamed that the room was full

that she waa indeed every whit

Training ol Dnnghtern.
Perhaps one of the most lament
able errors of the present day is tho
manner in which girls aro trained.
While proud ami happy parents aro
desirons that their daughters bo ac
complished iu music, drawing,
painting, and tho languages, they
seem totally to ignore the most nec
essary art ot housekeeping and
homo mnking, or imagine the
knowledge of such to bu degrading.
We know of no more pitiable object
than a young wife, placed at the
hoed of her husband’s home, utter
ly ignorant of Iter duties as its mis
tress. Trials, well calculated to
make her life miserable, await her,
and many of the unuappy marriage*
of which wo know anu hear, have
their origin in just each causes; for
while men are loving and indulgent
they are selfish, and but Tew have
sufficient self-denial to bear patient
ly the mistakes that interfere so ma
terially with their comforts.
A girl who baa been raised in a
well-regulated and orderly house
hold, cannot understand the misfor
tunes of such wives as we speak, it
is not only a knowledge of house
keeping which is so essential to the
well-being of a family, but it is
equally necessary to bo thoroughly
acquainted with tbe art of home-
making.
It don not do far tht wife and
mother to limit her efforts to tho
wants only—physical, mental and
moral—of the family; she must un
derstand how to keep her house
rlean and orderly; when and by
what mcatis her house became filled
with impure air. She must know
what kinds of food are easiest di
gested, which kind are nutritous.
This, of conrse, demands some
knowledge of philosophy and chem
istry. Then, too, she must under
stand tmw to make clothing suitable
for wittier and anmnier. In short,
a good wife and mother must be
familiar with the science of health
and the laws of hygine.
Many person* imagine that money

Russell railed upon his partner ami

citizen of Deuvcr, and stated what
lie hail done, and asked if he could
I erfo: in the feat. Miller replied
* Y- s, sir; I will do ft, and do it by
p-.ny express.” To accomplish thi*
Mr. Miller purchased 300 of the
fleetest hor-e* lie could find in the
IVest, amt employed 125 men
Eighty ot there nu-u were to be post
rider*. These he selected with ref
erence in their light weight and their
known daring ami courage. It was
very cs-ential that the lior*cs shounl
be loaded as light as possible; there
fare the lighter the tnnu the better.
It was nccosiry that some portions
uf the route should run at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The hor-
*ea were stationed from ten to twen
ty mile* apart, nml each rider
uould be i-i-qu-rcd to ride sixty
miles. For tho change of animal's
mid the shifting of the mails two
minutes, were allowed. Where
there were no stage stations at
proper distances tents sufficient to
hold one man nml two horses were
provided. Indiana would some
time* give chase, but their cayusc
ponies made hilt sorry show in their
cbnsc after Miller’* thoroughbred*,
many of which could make a siugle
mile in n infinite and fifty seconds.
All arrangements being complet
ed,* signal gun on the sicamcr at
Sacramento proclaimed the merid
ian of April 8, 18fi0—the hour for
a arting—when Border Ruffian, Mr.
Miller’* privnte saddle-horse, with
Billy Baker in llic saddle, bounded
• way toward the loothillx of the
sierra Nevada*, and made his ride
-•f twenty miles in forty minutes.
The snows were deep in the moun
tains, amt one ridCr wns lost for
several hours in a snow storm; and
and after Hie Sail Lnko Valley was
reached additional speed bccdnio
necessary to roach St. Joseph on
lime. From thcro on all went woll
until tho i’latta was lobe crossed at
Julcsburg. Tho rivur was up and
mulling rapidly, but tho rider
plunged, his horse into tho flood
■inly, how ever, to ntiro in the quick
Hand and drown. The courier sue
(■ceded in reaching the shore with
Ids mall bag iu hand, and traveled
leu miles on foot to reach tho next
relay. Joliu Fry, a popular rider
of his day, was lo make the finish.
Ilo had sixty miles to ride, with
six horses to do ft. When tlm last
courier arrived at the sixty mile
post out from St. Joseph, ho was one
hour behind time. A heavy rain
had set in and the roads were slip
pery. Two hundred thousand dol
lars might turn upon a single min
ute. Fry had just thirty-live min
utes in which to win. This waa
the finish of the longest race, for the
largest stakes ever run iu America.
When the time for hi* arrival was
nearly up, at least five thousand
people stood upon the river bank
with eye* torned towards the woods
from which the horse and its rider
should emerge into the open coun
try. in tbe rear of Elwood—one
mile from the finish. Tick, tick,
went thousands of watches! The
time waa uearly op! But seven min
utes remained! Hark! asbontgoes
up from tbe assembled multitude,
“He comes! he comes!” The noble
little mare, Sylph, tbe daughter of
Little Arrow, darts like an arrow
from tbe bow and makes the ran
of tbe last mile in one minute and
fifty seconds—landing upon the fer
ry boat with five minutes and a frac
tion to spare.

A man from Branch connty, this
State, being in Chester 1% soon
after a Fost Office waa established,
went op to tlie shanty t ne day with
intent to inquire for mail mutter. A
mail from Missouri was just ahead
of him, and inquired if there was
aqy letter thcro for Zacbariah
Burch.
“Be yon the fellor?” queried tho
postmaster.
“I am.”
“Oamcd Zacbariah, are ye?”
“Yes, sir.”'
“Too infernal long for this coun
try. You’d better chop ft in two.”
“I axed if there waa a letter here
for Zachariah Burch,” said tlie Mis
sourian, with a bad gleam in his
eye.
“And I heerd ye, and there ain’t
nothing of the tort here.”
“Kinder seems to tne there is.”
“Then I’m a liar.”
The pair looked at each other for
a minute, and then Burch remarked:
“Mebbe you are.
Uncle Sant’s official bopped ont of

Burch. It was a prettv oven match
for ten minute*, and then the post-
roaator got his favorite hold. Soon

“Stranger, I reckon it ain’t no nse

“I reckon not; but yo inquired
for a letter for Burch.”
“Yes.”
