The ChicagorjejpiiJZtbirt, of Tuesday, tells the following: Louis Feine and his wife appeared before Justice Sturtevant, yesterday morning, charged with conduct to the prejudice of good order. Louis keeps a saloou on. Canal Street, near Monroe. He has a young wife, and the two 'amuse themselves, on these Spring evenings, by setting in the saloon and playing' euchreT for" kisses. It" bo happened that several people stood at the window and peered in at the chinks and crannies at this spectacle'of hbmelike bliss.1 . ; A . couple, of officers, noticing the crowd, joined it, and themselves peered. But, at that unhappv moment, it came to pass that the husband had won the game, and with a magnanimity at once unasked for and. insulting, declined .to receive his dues. She pressed payment on him. lie declined. She threw the' cards in his face. $ He slapped her. She lifted a chair and threatened him. The devil of discord held at once entire possession. He seized and shook her. The police went in and arrested them both. Their faces were jed,; theirs eyes ; sparkled, , and - their mouth nervously twitched. . When they came before the J ustice, however, love' had relit his lamp and furled his purple wines. ,They stood hand in hand, with downcast eyes, like truant children, and blushed when their ex ploita were narrated. ' Each pressed the other's hand as : the throwing of the pack, the slapping of .the face, the lifting of the chair, were, mentioned,' and sighed out, " I didn't mean to do jfc" . ,'-T.i i.i.". ' i i . to,They were fined $3 each. 5 He paid it-and they departed, she saying tJJow, Louis, you won't- refuse my kisses again, will you. love?" And he replied : " Ohy never' . '.'J- " z "Xr.

Strenghth of character consists of two thinirs power of will and of. selfrestraint, therefore, for its cxistencestrong feelings and strong command over them. -Now, it is her we make a great mistake :we' mistake" stron; " feelings for, strong character.

Did we never see a man receive a flagrant insult, and only trow

,a little pale, and then reply quietly? That is a man spiritually strong. Or did we never see a man in anguish, stand, as if carved in solid rock, mas.tering himself ? or, bearing a hopeless daily trial, remain silent and never tell the world what cankered his peace? .That 7 is 7 strength. He . who, . with strong passions, remains chaste; he I "who, keenly sensitive, with '.' many power of indignation" in him, can be ; proved and yet restrain himself and forgive these are the strong men, the spiritual heroes. F. W. Robertson McDonald Clarke the Mad Poet. McDonald Clarke., known, as the mad poet,, died in the lunatic asylum, on Blackwell's Island, New York, a 1 few days ago. He wrote the oft-quoted lines: - " ' '. :''' ' .:.'"" " ' Now twilight lete her curtain down, And ptua It with a star.' '

Donald Clarke, the " mad poet, died almost a quarter of a century ago. The monument to his memory, erected :in Greenwood, Cemetery, records 'his ' death as haying taken piece March 5th J 1S42. The mention of the eccentric, so well known in New York in i his day, calls to' mind an anecdote. ' j It was said of a noted talker that he

had flashes of silence; and 30 was it true of the Mad Poet " that he had W5casioial fia-Ue of sanity, and.especially of that sort which ' heljed 'itim loft

upoa yhis: flighty, bnt .laniversal: acknowledged kindly mature. .. During the last year of his life Clarke was given the freedom of the Astor House table, and not seldom did he accept the hospitality so generously sxtended. All the habitues of the hotel knew him, and he;was an object of curiosity to visitors. ; One day, while quietly taking his dinner in the general refectory, two gentlemen from the South, intending to draw the poet out, seated themselves opposite, himj and commenced a conversation intended to reach his ears, not very deaf at, any time to tones of flattery. " s - -I " Well " said one of them, " I have been to New York two month, and have seen all I wish to see, with one exception." "Ah! What's that?" asked the other. - - ' ' " McDonald Clarke, the great poet!" responded the first, with calm and dignified emphasis, and so as to attract the 'ears and eyes of the company. ' Clarke raising his eyes from his plate, and . seeing that the . attention of the table , was centered upon him, stood up, placed his hands, with fetvent self-coosciousness "over his heart, and bowed with commensurate gravity to the Southerners, said ; "'am McDonald Clarke," the great poet." The persons addressed started in mock surprise, silently gazed at him a few moments, and then, amid an irrepressible titter of the company, the first speaker drew from his pocket a silver quarter-dollar, and laid it before him, without a smile. The " mad poet " did not lose his dignity, but with equal composure, raised the money with silence, and, putting it jnto his pocket, drew thence a shilling, which he deposited before the Southerner, with these words : I kl Children half price." The irrepressible titter broke out into a general roar of laughter, amid which the " children " retreated at once. 2- - 1 I The owner of a large dog at Grand Rapids, Mich., a few days ago placed a one hundred dollar looking glass before his Canine to worry hi nv The dog flew round barking and growling. The owner was delighted and cried Sick'em;" the dog " sicked ;' the mirror and the " other dog " disappeared at the same time. The joke rather turned on the other, who, instead of crying " sick " felt " sick." COLOR WORKS.
