Yet Mr. Garrison, who acts in that eapacity ata Philadelphia dime! museum, lately ventured on that enter- prise, only to find that after getting a wife he suffered the loss that Adam did before getting one,and had bis mb taken | from his side by her angry parents. They have shut her up, because they) say she 1s crazy ; but they have not shut | her husband up, although he is evident-} ly mad, for he istalking in the most! lively manner about it; suing out writs | of habeas corpus ; declaring that she is} not crazy, and that he did notrun after | him with] cannot her, as her parents charge doing, because he is so thin he even walk, to say nothing of running. | “As to her being crazy because she} married me,” he modestly says, “a good | many women have been crazy in the} same way. Plenty of them had follow " ed me from town to town.” Just this feminive passion for living skeletons the phy-| riologists and phrenologists have never | satisfactorily shown, The same skele -| ton in the dector’s shop with clothes off and really very little thinner, will, in- stead of fascinating, frighten most women. But stand him up in a museum and,according tohis testimony, the handsomeat and best rounded man what provokes of “‘a show’’ whatever. —s { The Skeleton’s Bride. an! cents, former pri ec, A Rare Cuance.—L.

IMPORTED in town will, beside him, stand no bing S BED WH i AT | 4 Theres may be some advantages in marrying a living skeleton § which| appeal witha good deal of force to| women. Inthe matter of sewing on buttons alone there must be Consider—! eble advantages ever these husbands | whose rotundity and fullness put aj} coustant strain upon that familiar ap-| paratas for fastening one’s garb) about one. On the other hand, or| rather on the other knee and elbow, | there musi, in the skeleton’s garments, be a tendency to thread-hareness wherever his asatomy is subjected to excessive friction, Agaio, hétever, a’ living’ Skeleton could not, if he would; really fool his wife, because it isso easy to see through him. For amusing the children a skeleton husband would be invaluable, because since they are “‘pleased with a ratile,” he would be always ready with his bones to delight them in that fas- hion, and his “articulations” would be useful in teaching them to speak clear- ly, As they grew older he would con- tinue to be an entertainment in himself alone ; for as the boy said of Daniel in the lion’s den, they could sit and see the whole show without it costing them a cent. Under those circumstances it is pro- bable that the living skeleton is right. His wife,who has been taken care from him, is not insane, but is kept from his bony embraces by ber cruel parents. She is probably aching, as she once must have ached, to sit lovingly again upon the reunds of his legs; rest her fond head upon histendeg breast-plate, and be claspei once more in the cord- age of hisarms. We wish them both good iuck, and hope that her parents’ excuse for keeping her is, like her husband, altogether too thin.— Detriot Free P ess. = A Nerve and brain food is needed in all cases of nervous aud sexual prostration Mack’s Magnetic Medicine mests this want more effectually than any other preparation, and the price brings it within the reach of all.
