Living Age. Selections, THE BES[ WIFE IN THE WORLD. 3Y AMY RANDOLPH. ""The best little wife in the world!" said Herbert Ainscourt. "Of course--I dare say," responded Mr. Portcross. *'But what's your exact idea of the best wife in the world! Jones says he's got the best wife in the world, because she keeps his stockings darned, takes him to church three tiuies of a Sunday, and never lets him have an idea' of his own. Jenkins says he's got the same identical article, but Jenkins' wife keeps all the | money, draws his salary for him, and makes him live in the back kitchen be- cause the parlor is too good for the family to use." 'Oh! but Daisy isn't a bit ogreish--a little submissive, soft-voiced thing that hasn't an idea excépt what is reflected from me. 1 tell you what, old fellow, I'm the master of my own house; 1 come when I please, and go when I please. Dai- sy never ventures on a word of re- proach." "Then, you ought to be ashamed of | yourself, larking around at the clubs as you do, dissipated-bachelor fashion." '""'Ashamed! what of?" "Why, I suppose you dwe some duties to your wife!" "Where's the harm?! My wife doesn't care. "Probably you think so because she is quiet and submissive; but if she were to object--" "Object! I'd like to hear her try it." "Now, look here, Ainscourty your wife may be » model wife, but you certainly | | are not a mode. husband. People are be- that pretty little blue-eyed girl." i "I'll thank people to mind their own { business. Neglect her, indeed!' Why, { man, Ilove her as I love my own sonl." | '""4hen, why don't you treat her as if | you did!" 'Oh. come, Portcross, that question just shows what a regular old backelor you are. It won't do to make too much of your wife, unless you want to spoil her." Mr. Portcross shaok his head: "That sounds seifish. I don't like the ring of that metal." And he went away, leaving Mr. Ains- court to finish his gamg of billiards at ldisure. "What a regular old fuss-budget Port. cross is," laughed the later. "Always puking his nose iute somebody els:'s busi- ness. There's one comfort--1 never pay | any attention to what he says." Meanwhile Mrs. Ainscourt was sitting alone in her drawing-room, her two little | white hands tightly locked in one another, | and her fair head slightly drooping --a deli- | cate little apple-blossom of a woman, with | Blue, wistful eyes and curly flaxen hair, | | looking more hike a grown-up child than a | | wife of twenty-one summers. | *"O dear!" sighed Daisy. | here. « | He never spends any time with me now-a- | days, and 1 practice all his favorite songs, | and read the newspapers, so I can 'talk about the things he's interested in, an | try so hard to be entertaining. Its very strange." And then her oval face brightened into | sudden brilliance, and the sparkles stole { into her eyes; for the quick ear had de- | tected her husband's wine on the | stairs. The next moment he came in. | ~¥ Well, pet. how are you!" with a play- i fal pinch of her cheek. "There are some | bonbons for you. Where are ny light | gloves?" | 40 Herbert! you are not going away | again!" | "I must, Daisy. There are a lot of | fellows going to drive to High Bridge, and | 'm one of the party. -- You can go over to | my mother's for dinner, or send for one | of your friends, or something. ~ There, | good-bye, puss, I'm in a deuce of a hurry." And with one careless kiss pressed on { the quivering damask rose of a mouth | that was lifted up to him, he was gone. | Daisy Ainsconrt neither went to her mother-in-law, nor sent for one of her | girl-friends. She spent the evening all | alone, pondering on the shadow which was | fast overgrowing her li'e. **What shall I doi" thought the little timid, shrinking wife. "Oh, what shall 1 do!" | Jut, child as she was, Daisy had a | strong, resolute woman's heart|within her, | nor was she long in coming to a decision. #*Daisy," said her husband to her the | next day, 'you haven't any objections to my attending the Orion Bal Masque!" *'Are masked balls nicgiplaces, Herbert!" "0 yes, everybody goel;.only I thought y ybody g y 3 "It is so dull | I'd pay yon the compfliment of asking { whether Jou disapproved! or not." | "Can I go with you!" | | "Well--ahem-- not very well, this time, | Daisy. You see, Mrs. Fenchurch really | hinted so strongly for me fo take her, that | I couldn't help it." "Very well," assented and Herbert repeated with of praises he had once, ears: 'The bestiflittle wife in the world!"

And | lin's imj ning. He was late at dinner the next day; but, late as he was, found himself more punctual than his wife, and the solitary meal was half over before Mrs, Daisy trip- ved in, her cashmere shall trailing over p= shoulders, and her dimpled 'checks all pink with the fresh wind. "Am I behind time! Really, I am so sorry! But we have been driving in the park, and--" 3 "We! Whb are we?" band. "Why, Colonel Adair and I---the Colo- nel Adair that you go out with so much." "Now, look here, Daisy!" ejaculated Mr. Ainscourt, rising from the table and pushing back his chair, *'Adair isn't ex- actly the man 1 want you to drive with!" "Bat yon go everywhere with him!" *'I dare say---but you and I are'two dif: ferent persons." "Now, dear Herbert," interposed Dai. sy, wilfully misunderstanding "him, "'youn know 1 never was a bit proud, and the as- sociates that are god enough for my hus- band are good enough for me. Let me give you a few more oysters." Ainscourt looked sharply at his wife. Was she really in earnest, or was there a mocking undercurrent of satire in her tone! But he could not decide, so artless was her countenance, I'll talk to her abont it sometime, was his internal decision. "Daisy," he said, carelessly, when din- ner was over, 'I've asked old Mrs. Bar- berry to come aud spend the day with youd to-morrow." 'Oh, have you! I'm sorry, for I engaged out to-morrow," "You! Where!" 1 54 "Oh, at Delmonico's. I've joined a Wo- man's Rights Club, and we meet there to ize growledvher hus: am ganize. **Ihe deuce take woman'srights!" ejacu- 7 lated the irate husband. . "Of course I don't believe in them, but it's the fashion to belong to a club, and "such a nice place to go to evenings. I am dull here evenings, Herbert." Herbert's heart smote him, but he an- swered, resolutely: **1 beg you will give up this ridiculous idea. - What do women want of clubs)" "What men do, 1 suppose." "Bat T dow't approve of it at all." "'You belong to three-clubs; Herbert." "That's-altogether a 'different matter." "But why is it different!' '"Hem--why? because--of course any- body 'can see why -- it's self-evident.' 'I must be very blind," said Mrs. Ains- court, demurely, but I confess I can't dis- | criminate the essential difference." Herbert Ainscourt said no more, but he did not at all relish the change that had lately come over the--spirit of Daisy's dream. . She®did change, somehow. She went out driving, here, there, and everywhere. He never knew when he was certain of a quiet evening with her; she joined not only the club, but innumerable societies | for a thousand and one purposes, which took her away from home almost continu' ally. Mr. Aiunscourt chafed against the bit, but it was useless. an excuse to plead, Presently her mother-in-law bore down upon her, an austere old lady in black going 'over to Methuselah"s for twenty | | satin and a chestnut-brown wig. "Daisy, you are making wretched." "Am 17" cried Daisy. "Dear me, I hadn't an idea of it! What's the trouble!" "You must ask himself," said the moth- er-in-law, who belicved--sensible old lady my own difficulties. *"All I know is the bare -fact." So Daisy went hone to the. drawing room, where Herbert lay on the sofa pre- tending to read, but in reality brooding over his troubles, '"What's the matter, Herbert!" said Daisy, kueeling on the floor beside him, { and putting her soft, cool hand$ on his fevered brow. "I'he matter? Nothing much; only I am miserable," he sallenly answered. "But why!' she persisted. 'Because you are go changed, Daisy.' "How aia I changed!" "You are never at home; you have lost | the domesticity which was, in uy eyes, your greatest charm. I never have you to myself any more. Daisy, don't you | see how this is embittering my life!" "Does it make you unhappy?" she ask- ed, softly. "You know that it does, Daisy." "And do you suppose | liked it, Her- bert?" "What do yon mean?" he asked. {- "I mean that I passed the first year of | my married life in just such a, lonesome way. You had no 'domesticity.' Clubs, drives, billiard playing, and champagne suppers engrossed your whole time." I, your wife, pined at home alone." 'But why did't you tell me. you we unhappy?' "Because you would have laughed at the idea, and called it a woman's whim. I resolved, when we were first married, to fritter away neither time nor breath in idle complaints. I have not complained; ! I have simply followed your example. it was not a good cne, whose fault was | that! Not mine, surely." | - "No, Daisy, not yours." | "I don't like this kind of life," went on { Daisy. "It is a false excitement--a hol- | low diversion; but I persist in it for the | same reason, I suppose, that you did--be- | cause it was the fashion. Now tall me, | Herbert, whether you prefer a fashionable | wife, or Daisy!" "Daisy--a thousand times Daisy ™ But Daisy can't get along with a thea- tre-going, club-living husband." '"I'hen she shall have a husband who finds his greatest happiness at his own | hearthstone---whose wife is his dearest treasure--who has tried the expreience of | for love taker a wife; surface and finds it unsatisfactory.

"'Bat what must you havethought yourself, a mistress for your house agd | 'hem. | sermon, and sud, 1 doot sme o' ye hae of me all this time!" she asked him, after a little while. "I know 'what I think now." "And what is that!"

There 1s also an arrangement resembling the key- board of a piano, by which the machine can be made to sing. Every portion of it is open to view, so that no deception is possible. Yesterday the machine under the deft hands of Mme. Faber, enuncia- ted distinctly all the letters of the English and Gerinan alphabets, numeronslong and most difficult words, such as "Constanti- nople," "'Politzka," "Mississippi," ""Ra- detzky," "hurrah," and then darted off 'into long sentencos in English, German and French, winding up with a. laugh of the most natoral kind, followed by hisses, groans and murmurs. Every 'word was pronounced at once and' without the slightest hesitation. Of conrsd some words wepe more plainly enunciat «d than others: but the majority were given far mor: clearly than the majority of human bings spronounce then, and even the nasal twan - which French pe iple often adopt was close- ly imitated. In Prof. Faber's machine the motions of the mouth and tongue imitate precisely those of human beings. Differ- ent tones or keys can be given ' by proper mianipalition of the peda's.

It rust have been a pleasant thing to be | Antedjluvian, one of the men who lived | five hundred and sixty and two years, and | begat 'somebody. Antediluvizn life has its advantages. With a life of nine hun- dred and sixty-nine years before him, a man could accomplish much. He could, by personal observation, settle the oft .dis- puted assertion that the pole-cat lives two hundred years; he could, if a Burns or a Shakespeare; celebrate his own centenary; | he could be his own oldest inhabitant, and could gaze far along a vista of nine hun- dred years of yearly green peas and spring chickens... When: time was meted by years, and, instead of eight-day clocks, { they had eighty-year chronometers, a man | could enjoy the luxury of¥lying in bed till Daisy always had | September, or of going ona - three years' | rhgpring excursion. When bidding fare- | { well to his family, he might say, "I'm just | years; don't wait lunch." And the hoary | son ligrapdsire of ten centuries might permit his | toddlinig grandson to go out to play uutil | 1876,¢but he must return then, and not keep his parents sitting up for him.* Life insurance would be cheap, and the rate of | interest, when en gave notes for four le fogthree hundred | more, nist have been accommodatingly low. cheer a WEALTH AND PuPULATIO.

Mr. Huxtable, he head of the party, gives the following ec unt of the circumstances: , "I'reside in the township of Sandbeach, on the shores of Lake Huron, Michigan, where 1 follow the « pation of boat- builder and carpenter. My house is quite | close to the lake. My family consists of | myself, my wife and five children, besides - my hired man. We had very serious fires all round us, but did not' consider oursel- ves, in danger, and went to bed on Sunday night as usual." About one o'clock in the morning, I was roused by a knock at the door, On going to the door, I found that five children belonging to a neighbor of wine named Mann, had been sent to my place, by their father, to escape the fire which threatened to destroy their place, he intending to follow as soon as possible with the remainder of his family. Thegirl was twelve years old, and carried a baby inher arms. 1 had barely ascertain facts, when on locking out I saw the fire raging on all sides, our only chance of safety being' towards the lake. The fire was, approaching rapidly, and 1 had barely time to rouse wy family and escape to the boat? before the house was in flames. The children had barely time to dress them- selves, and were consequently half naked. We all got into the boat, which we las house, ready for any emer- gency: The fire quickly spread to the boat house, and we were compelled to cht adrift and go further out into the lake. We threw, a- heavy stone overboard to which a rope was fastened, as an anchor. It was blowing a hurricane, and we drift- ed farther and farther out. At daybreak, the smoke and ashes were so thick that.we could not see the land, nor the sun, and could mot determine our whereabouts. We lay to until Wednesday moraing, when at sunrise, we steered due east tor the Canadp shore and arrived at Kincacdine at noon, | Little Witlie Mann died, asking for foud, at seven o'cloes, in the morning of that day. 1 dreaded another night oa the lake, The younger children would have died from the cold and want of food, their ouly place lof sheiter being beneath a little - deck, in the forward part of the boat, where the tea little ones huddled together for warmth. - They were all extremely wet from the witer which constantly washed over the sides of the boat. We had noth- ing to eat frown Niuday evening to Wed- nesday at noouw. 3 emp os thine Ar a largely attended meeting of Re- formers held at Picton oa Saturday week, Mr. Striker was wuaninoasly chosen as the candidate for eleciion to a seat in the Lixcal Legislature. The Picton Times in speaking of Mr. Striker, says: "He emerged unscathéd from the trying ordeal | of the late inquiry, and now stands' in a better position than before the election. It was only the latter, mot thé spirit of X ich was broken--in Mr. Strikers interest, it is true, but _cer- tainly without his knowledge or consent." 1f the Reformers of Prince Edward coun- ~ ty do their duty, there will be no doubt of Mr. Strikers re-election.

Oxe cord of wood will manufacture | eight hundred pounds of paper, while one ton of 'straw gives seven hundred and fifty pornds. Wood suffers a loss of ten per cent., according to the kind of paper wide. There seems to be nu question of superiority between the two materials-- local conditions determining their prece- dence. The very best paper made without the addition of rags seems tobe that made from equal parts of straw and wood. Four . tous of paper are manufactured daily at dhe largest paper mill in the Unived States. 1s paper 1s sized in the ordinary man- ner, 200 pounds requiring only one pound of glue. : : 1 his recent charge to the Grand Jury y | of New York Judge Lainard gave it as tion have challenged th: criticism of its' i8 0 ion that "*it is safc w say, aud wy sbscrvation justifies we in saying, that nearly abl the fast horses and fast women in the city of New York are supported out What a field of mittee of Seventy!
