The ! after marriage showed her true colors. slightest deviation from her orders was fol lowed by condign punishment, and in mo- j meats of ancr the most convenient missilo i was hurled at his devoted caput. If he liirca- j tcned she Would smash a quantity of china ware, or hurl a porcelain vase at his head, ; irrespective of its cost. If he frowned she I would belabor him with the first suitable J utensil that came withm her reach. On Tuesday she visited him at his office, and not complying with some request made, she j feli upon him. She struck him un.m the temple with a f-tand, beat him with heavy metalic ink- paper weights, aim lore from his head sufficient hair to make a dozen large-sized mourning rings. The husbanj couldn't endure thic. He Went to Alderman Dougherty and made the iibovc statement, which we got from the worthy Alderman's docket. A warrant was issued, and the lady, in all the glory of wa terfall, crinoline, and red ivory ear-rings, was arraigned as a defendant. The husband, who looked as though he had either been editing a daily paper, or doing long duty as an omnibus horse, made his apperance with his head tied up in a while handkerchief. He deposed to the facts as above stated, and thr laiy was taken down to Moyamcnsing. Nobody went bail for her. Depth of the Sea. The sounding effected with the new trans Atlantic cable, have enabled comparisons to be nude of the different dphts of the sea. Generally speaking, they are of an great depth In thy neighborhood of this continent thus the Baltic, between Germany undSwc drn, is only 320 feet dei-p, and toe Adriatic, between Vfiiice and Trio, 130. The gre t rht depth of 'ie channel between England and France is 300 feet, while the southwest of Ireland, where the sea is open, the depth it more than 2,000 feet. The seas to the Foulh of Europe are much deeper than those in the interior. In the narrowest part of the Straits of Gibralter the depths k only 1.000 .:. On the co-ist of Spain the depth is near'y six thousand feet. At two hundred and fifty miles south of Nantucket, south of! Cape Cod, no bottom was found at 7,300 feet. The greatest depths of ail arc to be met with in the Southern Ocean. To the west on the Cape of Good Hope, 16,000 feet Juve been measured, and to the we-t of St. Helen, 27,000 feet, Dr. Young estimates the average depth of the Atlantic at 20,000 feet, and of the Pacific at 23,000. Galiga anl. How 5t ear we are to Death. When we walk near powerful machinery Wc know that one single mis-step, and these mighty engines would tear us to ribbons with their ponderous jaws. So when wc arc thundering across. the countr' on railways, and there is but half an inch fimge iron to hold us on the track. So when we are on the sea in a ship and there ie nothing but the thickness uf a plank between us" and eternity. Wc imagine then that we are to the edge of the precipice. But we do not see it. Whether on sea or land lhe partition which divides us from eternity is omething thinner than an oak plank or half j sn inch of fknge iron. The machinery of : life and health is within us. The tissues i which hold those floating powers in their place are often not thicker than a piece of paper, and if this thin partition were ruptured or pierced it would be justthc same with us. Death is inseparably bound up with life in the structure of our bodies. Struggle as we may to widen the space, no man can be further from death than the thickness of a sheet ... paner.
