About twelve months after marriage la the moat trying period in the whole cyclo or conjugal experience.

There is no public office of any prominence of so little apparent importance as that held by the vice-president of the nation. As anew example of how little attention the holder of the office attracts, we quote the following from the Washington Republic: "A prominent New York gentleman in company with several ladies was strolling about the Capitol the other day. The party were exploring the marble room of the gfenate and while there were introduced to a geatlfjjwa nfttntti Wheeler. When they nl»out lo lfiftve tb«y Ascertained accitten tally that this was the Vice-Pres-ident of the United States, whereat they were very much shocked and were, by request, taken back and reintroduced, one of-the ladies naively declaring she had actually forgotten who the vice preswas! Mr. Wheeler enjoyed the joke quite as much as the bystanders."

3 A STORE OF KNOWLEDGE. Did you ever take an inventory of Madame Gossip's store of knowledge? She knows everything about everybody, and all things past, present and to come, that ever did, could, would, should, can not, will not, or never shall happen, and is aware of all things that have ever taken place, and of a great many things that never have done so. She is much better informed about you than you are yourself knows your ngorals better than your confessor your constitution better than your doctor your income better than your banker, and the day you were born on better than your mother. She is omniscient and omnipresent, microscopic and telescopic: she speeds as many interrogations as a telegraph instrument, and has as many mysteries as the agony column of a "patent inside" newspaper has all the keys to all the mysterious problems of your Qeighborhood and, what is very comforting, always knows everything for "certain." She knows that Mr. Spoopendyke starves his servants because he is poor, and likes to save on the butcher and baker she knows that Mrs. Piety's great grandmother's second cousin was hanged for

Is a necessity in every house, and now is the time to SUBSCRIBE FOR IT, as you will not get one if you do not subscribe for it before it is printed, as the publishers last year tried to accommodate all by issuing about a hundred or more on "promise to take a copy when it came out," and consequently, they were "out" to the tune of the price of that many books, and this year and forever after their orders to the printers will be for just the exact number that are subscribed for, and no more. None will be printed on promises, as they are too expensive, the profits being too small to indulge in such luxuries. By subscribing, you get your name, or name and business in BLACK TYPE, FREE,
