A ST. LOUIS BLIZZARD.

Thjsbe has been added to the storms, fires, floods and other catastrophes which have characterized the year thus far, a series of remarkable atmospheric disturbances in the home of Mr. Little, of St. Louis. It appears that money was here, aB everywhere, the root of evil. Mr. Little plaintively states : , " I Was Missing money out of my Pocket. I Began to Bet down the amount "at Night it Was Short Next day an.d on the 2nd also In the Morning I was looking on the floor She flow up and Said What ar you looking for I said I Had lost' some mpny She looked at me like a Tiger " Shaking her fist at me and Saying X did not Take -your money I said Darling I do" not say you did She Shook hur fist and. said you had Better, Not I Finally had to lock My Pantoloons up Nights " II is usually supposed that a soit answer turneth away wrath, but Mr., Little's endearing ( epithets seem to Tiave utterly failed. The subject' of rats next proved an apple of discord: , ' ' " 1 Said I Would go and get some tin, aid fix the holes' l got 60c Worth of Tin, , and commenced: to Fix Holes She Began to Tar .around it Made me Tremble Saying X paid' too much for tin" , ",• , ' Here is a picture of ,a wife who, .would "Tar," and a husband .made to "Tremble" worthy of the pencil of .Hogarth. - there was worse to come, for the wife went on to i&vade #te most cherished privileges of man: '' ( ' ISaid on the 5 pf Bee. I wpuld go and .geVSnavecTrShe^flew ap«and said; don't you Shave yourself no How, often do^you snave l f l Basd A Twice jb. weefc.^Bat, wont /la mj ,q|hey tHusbfljaa. shaved ibj^f anj3rl,,would lialf to then she said I did not Need Shaving in a SKe Bare Way She was Running down

T.he Baptist? Some of my Best frisiafls Erery day calling than all ssrts ot ihiGSTames I sgid one day after I had heard it for 2 or 3 weeks PJoase dont Talk about my best friends She flew up and said her Tung was her own and she wood Talk and would not stop, So I Said I Would take a Walk " We learn from this that Mrs. Little had had previous experience, and that her " Other Husband " had retired fram an unequal strife. We would particularly call attention -t» the meekness and wisdom of Mr. Little in recognizing the piofound truth that every woman ' 3 i' Tung " is her own, aad in deciding to " take |,a Walk." Mr. Little's wardrobe was the next point of attack, and he ventured to remonsixate: " I Said Some ef My Close had Been" taken She Said Who Took them I Said Some Body Jumped to the fjrate and grabed the i Poker and S4H Jo jou Say ITcok your Close Why Darling I Said I did not Say anything of the kipd She Said you had not Bettor She said go Who Cares for you I Was to faiat to go then anfl there I Said I Was afraid oi her. She Said I Was a Coward" Considering the proximity of the " Poker," Mr. Little's cowardice is not surprising. He continues his recital of stoints* and wrecks, Mid tells us : " She looked at me With Vengeance She Shook hur fist at me I got up like a good little boy * * * the way She Would Talk about folks Was a Sin to David Crocket the Six Weeks We Ware ts& x v it Was Come and go you Shant She Caled me Geo or mr Little it Was go C»me or Shant." — Exchange.
