Kut I wa taken up mast w itu two animals which differed from the rest. One was a beautiful dog, and the otber a lusus naturae a lamb with the rudiments ot a fifth he, and some other abnormal characteristics which I bave forgotten. The old man said be bad stuffed both for their original owners, who bad somehow failed to take them away. Tfiey were placed at one end ot iLe room, one iu each corner, away from the wii.dow, end close to the w all, w here, except in Strong daylight, they could not be earily seen. Tbe counecii n of these particulars with my story will be seen io tbe requil. I bad been iu tbe village about six weeks, when tbe neighborhood vras aroused and alarmed one inorniug by tbe report of tie robbery of a jewel ler's. Bbop in the market town already rcterred to, that bad been effected durinz tbe preceeding Light. Much valuable property bad been takn This robbery bad been iffectea in eucb a way as led to tbe belief that a gang of practical tbieves bad done it. Tbe prevailing question was, "Do tbe robbers live among us, or have tbey come from a distance ?" This query was still going from month to mouth when we were start led, astounded, indeed, by a report of tbe second robbery of the same prem iics. and on tbe night following tbe breaking into aud purloining ot a pro vision warehouse ia our own village Were I writing fiction, I would not bave made tbe robbers pay so soon a second vu.it to the jewellers, as eucb an act would bave been deemed preposterous ; but I am relating what really occurred, and so am forced to ssv what 1 bave said, Tbe jeweller bad been so taken up by enri8 to find out tbe tbieves and regain Lis first loss tbat be bad not placed additional guard over what was left : besides, he was sure, be giid, tbat thieves would not ib nk o revisitiosr bim for a long time. As for the provision dealer, be said mr hearing tbat be bad no fear of bi place being entered, as be believed robbers would not care to tmch property so bulky and of snch iuferi value as bis. But be bad reckoned without bis host ; for be had lost fine bam, a large lot of tea, a deal o spices, a few b xes of cigars, and in deed a portion of most of what h dealt iu. The excitement and alarm occasioned bv these robberies was great and wide-spread. Two batches of detectives, one from Lancaster and tbe otber from Kendkl, came to our village to see what tbey could Gnd vat. Tbey were not short of questions. I mind ; but tbey took eare w hat sort of questions tbey aawered. It was easy to see tbat one of their aims was to make it appear that tbey believed tbat tbe robbers came from a distance, in or der to put the thieves off their guard; for their own opinion was tbe oppo site of this. Xo event, however serious, can keep hold of people's minds bevond a certain time ; and tbe.-e robberies were beginning to give place to s me otber subject, when tbe next act io tbe drama began to be played It was on a Friday afternoon, about a tnootb after the robberies. Tbe day was wet and wild ; and as my work was the out-door carving of stones which had been placed in position in tbe roogb, I was unable to go on with it, and so had to retnrn to my quarters. I bad got my dinner, and had just called for a pint of ale with my pipe, when ao elderly ill-drest-ed man came in, and silting down on tbe bench beside me, said, in broad Lan cashire accent : "I'll sup wi" tha lad, if tba doesn't care on which he lilted taj mug to his lips, and drank freely. I bad oot got over my surprise wbea bo, wiping bis month with his hand, cave me tbe history of the pas day or two. Tbo account was this : He had beec a gentleman's gardener, near Lancaster, over twenty years ; had a capital place, but had not Lad sense enough to keep it, for be had ;jone on the loose fur a fortnight, .wiich was more than bis master would put op with ; so be was dis charged.

I'll Bad you pleuty io eat and drtak; you can bave a bed as wel.; and if yon please me, I'll cot Be you leive without a few W cat say you: ' "I say agreed," replied the garden er risinjr to bis t'ett and grasping the landlord's hand. I'll not begin to morn, however; but I'll look rand, an' git riddy for Monday morn." This proposal was satisfactory, wberefjre the gardener was made happy. Shortly afterward we had an addi tion to our curopany by the incoming of the old bird staffer, whom I shall henceforth ?11 the naturalist (a this designation was the one which pleas ed bim), his son tbe butterfly breeder, and two other men whom I bad not yet seen. Ttese the strangers first looked herd at tbe company; but tbe naturalist, giving them a signifi cant nod, which seemed to 6ay, 'All's tight,' tbey settled down and called for a glass of rum apiece. I3y ibis time the gardener bad fin ished his dinner, when, putting his arms on the table and his bead on bis arms, he fell, or seemed to fall, asleep. Tbe rain, which continaed to come down, compelled me still to abide un der cover: so, placing my chair in a comer, aud putting my band against tie wall, I tried to r a nap also. Tue naturalist and ais compamone were now in the room beside tbe gar deuer aud me. I cannot tell half nor quarter of what was eaid by the first one and then another of tbe four persons ; nor did I understand some of tbe phrases which tbey used. 'Bruce and 'Won der,' "flix' 'stufliug,' were words often employed by tbem. I recollect that B. uce' was the name of the dog, and IVonder' the name of the lamb, in the UiUaeuui before spoken ot; aud the otber terms, I judged referred ti th materials who w hich tbey were stuff ed ; but I cjuld not see why tbey nouId speak in so low a tone as tbey did whea thev so ike of them. Once r twice they referred to tbe birds by souio slaug phmse. But after-evenia made this clear enough. By-aud-by tbe weather took up, wbeu the men, draining their glasses, iroL un and went awav. I be moment ibey were gone the gardener rouseu i ' . , . ui. took h. memorandum-book out of bis pocket, and began to write there-: . . , - , i i. . .

Af er supper one night I took ',bc gardener to tbe bardlike habitation ot ibe old naturalist As we went along, he acked me w take particular notice of ibe dog and tbe lamb. "For," said he. "I was struck wuh the questions one cf tbe men put as to whether Bruce' or 'Wonder' conld take any more 'cotton' or 'fliX. And it is just oossible that he has a way of taking out aud putting in the stuffing after Lhn hkin has become set and Dara : thinir worth knowing. I should think " Wnen we got to tbe bouse, tbe old map came to the do r, closing it after bim. Being asked if be would allow tbe gardener to see over bis eollec lion of preserved animals, he at first seemed perplexed, and saying, "I'll ask my son." He went in, leaving us outside. Shortly he returned, aud said. "It is not convenient to enter the room to-night, as it is being cleaned aud the contents re-arranged but if Your friend will c.me to-mor row night, and come alone, be shall see over it." We agreed, and came away. 1 was at a to. 6 to account tor tbe condition imposed ; but my companion was set up with tbe arrangement. Next night came, and tbe gardener set off ou bis errand. 1 was all lm oaiieut for bis return. But when he came back he seemed unwilling to re late the result of bis adventure, s ui ply saying, "I'm in no humor for talk to-night : I'll relate what I've etcn and eaid to-morrow." My friend bad got on well with his gardening. His potatoes and onjons, bis turnips and carrots, had been got in ; and it was clear that if tbe next two days sboold prove fine, be would fuish the job on the Saturday night. On Friday night he came to me in the kiict en, ia a corner of which 1 was reading, and asked me to take a short walk with bim. I got op and went Tbe night was fine, but dark We walked in tbe direction of the museum. He asked me if I could keep a secret for a day or two. lie pljingiathe affirmative, he said be bad a strong suspicion tbat tbe old naturalist or bis son was no better than be should be; that be was sure be or tbey knew more about tbe late robberies than'otber folks ; and that he believed if be bad a few shillings which he could call his own, he could come at tbe truth, and concluded by asking me to lend him a sovereign tor a few Jys. I agreed, for I had begun to feel an unaccountable curi osity growing within me. We had not walked far before we met tbe naturalist's son, apparently by appointment ; for my companion told bim that I bad promised bim a loan and thereore he would be at bis father's hoose tbe next day and make a purchase. We parted and came home. About the middle of Saturday af ternoon he set off, and in less than ao honr be came back, bearing a tol erably sized parcel.

Giving mea playful dig in the side, be left me His absence during tbe nght and tbe day after surprised the landlord, but I said nothing. I was all patience until Monday came. It came at last. I was busy at my carving, whea I beard a well known voice below. On looking down from my stage, whom should 1 see ia tbe road beneath, smiling all tbe face over, but my old friend tbe gardener in a policeman's uniform. Tho truth flashed through me in a moment. I went down. Grasping me by tbe hand, he said, "Tbe se cret's out, you 6ee! Come along with me and see the upshct." I was about to witness a denoue ment I had not looked for. Up ibe road were a couple of policemen. My old companion was tbe chief, being a sergeant of police. He led the way to tbe museuji, and was first to en ter. "Good morning, old friend,'' be said, en encountering the naturalist. "I've come to take away a few more parcels cf your cheap provisions." I saw that tbe old gardener was detected ia the speaker, and that the game was seen to be up. Tbe old man's eon rushed to tbe door and scrambled off, only, however, to fall into tbe clutches of one of tbe officers who was on tbe watch. Tbe old maa was utterly helpless, and al most beside himself. Smking into bis cbair be cried out, "I'm not the thief; the thieves aro there," point ing to the door and meauing, I could see, bis sons and bis coufederates, thouga tbey were uot present. We went into tbe museum. Tbe first tiling the old gardener &s I shall siill call him did was to take hold of "Bruce," while be desired one of bis comrades to lay hold ot "Woader."

Aud as be bad hoped, so did it come to pass. Tbe naturalist, who, it came out bad long been a receiver of stolea property, and hisson,!whose first bur glaries these were, got each five rears1 penal servitude; one of tbe otber men who came from a distant town, and were old hands was likewise con vicied and punished; but the fourth, by some forgotten reason, got off.

One of tie chief topics of tbe day is tbe behavior of tbe mutinous stu dents at tte School of Arts and Trades, at Angers The caase of the oa.bresk is now made tolerably clear. Four of the scholars having out stripped their companions, and been especially Uvored at tbe prize dis tributions, their comrades' jealousy was excited to the point of brutal persecution. The result was that one of tbe cictims died from bis in juries, as already reported. ibe greatest indignation naturally pre vails against tbe perpetrators of the outrage, who In adopting tbe ' bri gade," so long in nse in tha military schools of St Cyr and Saumur bave added a refinement of cruelty to the custom. Hitherto tbe "brimado" bas been a series ot practical j ikes inflict ed on new comers, such as bave been known to occur in the public schools of England, but ia tbe case of Angers ibe motive of tbe barbari ties seems to have been jealousy.

Stephen A Douglas, Jr., son of the Little Giant, whom be really resem bles, has boon lectwing recently in Central and Souther.. Illinois, and below is given an extract from his speech, made before a large audience in Mattooa la3t week, and reported in the Journal of tbat city : "I am a stalwart Republican. Na turally enough I could be expected to feel a warm affioity for the Demo cratic party. Every association of my boyhood, find every atom of re spect for my father made it so. Af ter tbe war, I went to North Caroli na to settle the estate of my mother, which did not require much work, for between tbe ravages of the war and the bankrupt courts, little was left When I went there I was prejudiced iu favor of tbe Democracy, and con sidered myself a most enthusiastic and loyal Democrat Oa the prin cipies of that old party, I believed, rested tbe true foundation ot our Government, aad in the party tbat bad always advocated tbem I expert ed to see tbem perpetuated. As time wore on and I made tbe acquaint ance of Democracy as interpreted ia tbe South, I wondered how tbe word came to be so effectually lost It was tbe course of those who misrepresent ed themselves as Democrats tbat con verted and niado me a Republican. However, I still claim to adhere to the tbree great principles on which my father based his political creed. Tnese are: First, loyalty to the country ; second, hard money ; and third, tbe sovereignitv of tbe people. Tbe idea of tbis third principle is tbat tbe nicj rity shall rule. Tbis is dis regarded in tbe South, and therein is a cardinal principle of my father's Democracy constantly being set aside. At least 40,000 fraudulent votes were ooonted against us in North Carolina. Before the election, Vance, the Dem ocratic candidate for Gjvernor, ad mitted that if Judge Settle, bis oppo nent, received 03,000 votes in the State, which were th" figures claimed for bim by his Republican supporters, be Vance was defeated. Tbe Re publican vote was 110,900, and tbe Democrats made theirs 123.3G9. 1 would be willing to swear that in my own county COO more votes were returned than tbere were voters in tbe county. I knew the people of tbe county thoroughly, had canvassed it several times myself, and knew exact ly what tbe lawful vole ought to be Tbey turned out tbe grave-yards and bad them all back again before tbe polls closed. Tbe people of North Carolina, and, in fact, most of the Southern States, are purely local in their politics. They will often take more iuterest in the choice of a con stable than President. Iu that cam paign tbe interest centred in tbe con test for Governor. Little compara tively was said about the President, because tbe people did not take so macb interest iu tbat branch of the contest i et the Democrats contriv ed to pat Tilden's vote several ibous aud ahead ot their candidate for Gov ernor, which every maa in tbe State knows must bave been bv fraud." Speaking of tbe candidates for Pres ident, Mr. Douglas said: "Tbe people of the South want Grant Tbey have confidence in bim Tfcey believe tbat be will furnish the protection that tbe Republicans need Ihev d not cay just bow tney ex pect him to regulate things, but they ibink be can, and will do it. Blaine's opposition to the 'Force bill' injures bim with tbe Republicans, and, while tbey admire him for bis bold utter ances and gallant course, yet tbey waot Grant. Grant is their mau. Every Southern man who has a diffi culty with another and gets worsted, bas a re h pec i for bis successful oppo nent Tnat is the case with the feel ing tor Grant. He never does or says anything that anybody can make a handle of, and seems always to do just tbe right tbing without any pa rade or ostentation. Jast take that Dennis Kearney. Everybody stood back io amazement at tbe boldness of the demagogue and Communist, and actually felt apprehensive tbat be would lead tbe laboring people ot tbe cnuntrv to do some dreadful thing But when Grant reached Saa Fran cisco and Kearney sent up his cird, Grant quietly sent it back with in structions to say 'tbat if Kearney re presented a political party he did not wish to see him If be was simplv one of the people he could attend tbe public reception ' 1 bat settled Kear uey. He bas been steadily gliding into obscurity ever since tbat time. Grant never flops. The South be lieves Le cau be trusted, and will stick to bim." FMrb. Bat Not vrn Paten.

I just can't wear this pa'cbed coat to school " id Fred, flinging himself into a cbair aod sticking out bis feet, while h's lace was drawn up in euch an ngly scowl you would bave thought bim a dread ful b y. "Why, Fred, I am surprised ; only this morning you looked at those patches, and said, 'Good for you, mother; those sleeves are jolly, now tbe elbow are all io ;' and wben you put it on you smoothed it down, and gave me a kiss, and told me 1 was tbe best mother in tbe world." "Yes, so I did ;" and at tho pleas ant voice of bis mother tbe boy drew in his feet, and tbe frown went off of bis face a little. "But you don't know bow hard it is," added Fred ; "every boy in my class has a new coat, and some brass buttons and all. I can see the very sbine of tbem now," and Fred kicked tbe poor cat as it was lying in tbe sonshine streaming over tbe bright kitchen floor. "Come, come !" spoke up the moth er, "ibis will never do l lour eoat is well enough if yon only tbiuk so ; at any rate, I cannot buy you a new one," and Mrs. Green put the baby ia his arms and began dishing op the soup tor dinner. Out on tbe little porch went Fred with baby. TLe sua was so bright and warm that in spite of all bis trouble be could'nt help feeling jo6t a little nappy. Seating himself on tbe step he be gan talking to tbe dear little fellow, as be often did when in earnest abant things. "Baby, wouldn't you bate to wear patches I Patches on tbe elbows, patches on the knees, patches all over ! vvby, 1 am almost all patches, and tbe bovs have nicknamed me Patch !' 1 tell you, baby, it is pretty nard, but wben I get to be a man, you shan't know wbat a patch looks like." Here the baby crowed and jumped as if be understood every word tbat was said. "Come!" called mamma, "bring baby in ; your dinner is ready." Fred seated himself at the small table and waited for Lis mother, but she took tbe rocking-chair by the stove and commenced to sing baby to s'eep. "Mother, aren't you going to cat dinner ?" "No, son ; I feel too tired now." Fred helped himself to a plateful cf the delicious soop, but somehow it didn't taste good, and tbere was a big lump in bia throat, and glancing around to his motLer he saw a sad, troubled look on her face. She had stopped singing, and was stroking baby's hair softly. He couldn't stand it any longer, but, jumping op, ran to her, and hugging her tight around tbe neck, boy fashion, burst out with : "Mother don't yon look so sorry, I can wear tbe patches as well as not, and tbe old coat's real warm. I guess it won't kill me if tbe boys do call me 'Patch ;' and Mr. Maxwell said yesterday I learned ever so fast, aud be hoped sumo day you'd be proud of me. But yon can't if I don't get over these proud fits, can you? Come, no-, mother, let's eat up all tbe soup, aud have a good lime.'. And they did ; aod how tbey both eoj yed tbat dinner. Jutt before Fred started for school that afternoon be ran up to bis little room, kept so clean by bis own bands, and there be asked ibe loving Saviour to give bim more help to overcome the small tri als of every-day life, and to mske bim a wise, good boy, adding at tbe close, "Please to make me a cimfort to my mother." He reached the school room just as tbe bell rang, so was spared any taunts from the boys then. But at recess Harry remembering bow easi ly be had fired up in the morning, began again calling bim Patch,' but to Lis surprise Fred's laogb rang out pleasantly, aud he answered: "les, 1 s pose that s mv name as long as these clothes lasv But, boys, look ! I tell vou there's some fine work on ibis old coat, and if I're gut to wear it and be called .'Patch, I'l belter keep my temper, and not give you a chance to call it 'Cross-Patch." I'oirirDtti. Any lacit ot rennement to ones manner, or aav incivility in one's or dinary personal address, ought cer taiuly to be a matur of regret to the person wbosa daily life displays sucb a delect. But it is by no means un common for men and women to think or to nreiend tbey think, that rule ness of mancer and Leglect of tbe courtesies of life are evidences of a strong character : and tbat a coarse and uucivil habit of speech is an ad mirable proof tbat the speaker is a "pluiu, blunt man," who is above shams and pretences. .Now, while coarseness mav exist along with strength of character and righteousness of 1; re, it is always a bleiuisb to them, ana never a help. It is, ol course, true mat rennement is not righteousness, and that a rude and ignorant saint is al-vays belter, in Clv'd's sight, it not in man's, than a refined aud intellectual sinner. Bit tbat is not the question at issue. Tbe only point concerning which one! ought to think is the question wheth er a lack of graciousneis in character and courtesy iu manner is in itself a good tbing or a bad tbing. Unfortu uately, there is too common a ten dency to coiifuse this qiestion by considering it along with totally ir relevant matters. Badness is some times polished; gooduess is some- u rr es rough; tbereture, lllogically con cludes tbe hasty reasoner, anxious to excuse his own coarseness, rude ntrength is better than courteous strength. Tbis shallow argument fiuds plenty of ucceptance, because it is a great deal easier tor most people to be thoroughly coaise than to be studiously gentle ; aod so they con clude that it is a matter ot little mo ment whether their manners are at tractive or not. Every one who is trying to lead a good life, should also try to lead a winsome aud courteous life. By abandoning gentleness of disposition aud graciousnees of word aod deed, be throws away a means of growth aod an effective weapon. Coarse Christians little know how often tbey play into ibe enemy's bands. It is almost always a grave mistake, in a matter of manners, or in any other matter, to try to put yourself on oth er people's level. If you are trying to do right, tbe chances are tbat, by adopdng a coarse mauner of t-peech or action, you will degrade yourself, both in your own eves and in those of him wbom you are trying to reach, and yet will tail in the good you seek. Rude and rough people are ready to excuse themselves tor their own coarsencs ; but, after all, tbey despise it in those who are striving to instruct and belp tbem. Cleanness and brightness and win someness in thought and word and deed and manner aod material sur roundings are always ready to belp what is good. Coarseness and dingi- uess aud ogliness are evils tbat must sometimes be endured, but ought never to be defended as virtues in themselves. If a bad mau lacks re finement, bis manners are of a piece with bis morals. But for a good man to be couiidoo iu tastes, ungrammati cal in tpeecb, repulsive io personal appearance, and rude in conduct, is a proof that be is willing to put bin goodness to a vry severe test in the etea of tbe world ; and that be does oot find, from bis reading of the Old Testament and tbe New, tbat God desires tbrt all things be done decent ly and in order. Sunday School Times ibe Law f Tmpait. Wbat constitutes trespass is a ques lion that arises continually, especial Iv among farmers and owners of sma'ler tracts of real estate, and the ideas concerning it are about as vague as tbey well can be. An in teresting article on the laws govern ing this question appears in tbe last quarterly report of ibe State Board of Agriculture, which deserves to be read by every tarmer io tbe land, as tbey are ofieoer called on to face tbe troubles analog out of sucb cases than any otber class of men io the community. Trespass is defined as "anr transgression or offense against (be law of nature, of society or the oountry in wbich we Iiv, whether it relate to a man's person or bis prop erty." Ordinarialy, however, it has refer ence only to an entrance on tbe prop erty cf another without authority, and in doing damage while tbere, whether much or little. Tbe laws give tbe owner exclusive control over bis property. Auy infringements of bis rights without his permission, or justified by legal authority, therefore constitutes a trespass. It does not need tbat tbe land should be enclosed by fences. Tbe law supposes ao im aginary enclosure, which answers every purpose, and the simple act of passing it constitutes trespass, al though no barm should result to any crops, cattle or aught else. Even a person legally authorized to seize certain goods oa a man's premises dare not break open doors for tbat purpose ; if be does his authority avails bim nothing, and he becomes a common trespasser. Neither is a person jas'ified in so ar ranging spouts as to discharge water on another man's land, even though he never step off his own grounds, nor to permit filth to pass a boundary line without due permission. When a spoot first discharges oa a man's own premises and the contents then Gnd their way to a neighbor's premi ses, it does not constitute a trespass. Hunting and fishing, however, con stitute tbe most common aud annoy ing sources of trespass to which our farmers are subjected. No matter tbat neither grass nor grain are trampled down, whether gates are left closed, bars left up, and uo rails broken, tbe pursuit of game oo ibe lands of another without permission is trespass. io even enter an enclosed piece of wood, wLere tbere are no crops to be injured, in pursuit of game, which may bave taken refuge tbere, is a vio lation of law quite as much as if a wheat field io ear had been trampled down. In fishing, as in booting, tbe ordinary pouds and streams are tha exclusive property or those through whose land tbey now or in which tbey bapoen to be situated. Io tbe esse of navigable streams, any one may boat up aud down tbem aud fish in tbem, but bas no right to land on tbe shores and do so. BFKLI LErtER (Reulr Corref ponI-ace. ) Berlin. Jan. IT, 1S30 i Recent concentrations of troops j and material of war, effected by Rus sia upon ber western frontier, do not appear to have caused much alarm either in North German military or financial circles. Prussian generals contemptuously deride tbe notion ofj a Russian raid into East or West I Prussia or tbe "Duchy ;"and a well- known German military periodical, among tbe contributions, to wi-ri! are several members of the Grocer Generalstab, has taken tbe pains to explain to its readers wbat would be tbe results to Russia of a war against Germany within six week of tbe date of which ibe order for ra ibiliz i lion should be signed by tbe German Emperor. Among these results are tbe occu pation of St Petersburg and Moscow by German armies, wbich the writer does not conceive to be regarded as desirable by tbe Russian Govern ment; wherefore be attaches no more importance to the "mansiogH" aud "dislocations'' tbe marchings and tbe counter-marcbings, Ac , tbat bave i been indulged in vf late by s me 8 or 0 Russian army corps, tiiau be would "to tbe yelling ana drumming cf African savages, who tbiuk to fright en their enemies to dea;b by muking a hideous noise. 'r Russia, he observes, will certainly not terrify either Germany or Austria by displaying "clumey accumula tions" of badly armed and worte drilled men in her Western provin ces At the same time the leading finan cial sheet of Berlin points out tbat tbe last war has added sixty millions of roubles per annum tj Russia's budget for interest uoon new loans alone. It is expected tbat the amount set down in tbe budget of 1830 for payment ot interest upon the Impe rial State debt will be one hundred and seventy millions of roubles, tbii ty millions more than in 1873. Tbi Russia should dream ot attempting to fight Germany under these circum stances is regarded as altogether out of tbe question upon the Berlia Bourse. At a time when Europe is more than ordinarily troubled with coaceu. trations of tAops aud rumors of war, it is, at any rate, satisfactory to know tbat one of tbe most necessary adjuncts to a victorious army is wanting just now both io Russia and Italy. According to tbe Geamao papers, a great part of tbe Muscovite forces are still armed a itb tbe Krinka riQe.a weapon, of wbich tbe best that can be said of it, is tbat it may be generally relied upon to go off with out hurting its bolder. And now comes a Parliamentary paper, issued by tbe Government of King Hum bert, to show that as yet only about four hundred thousand of bis Majes ty's soldiers have got the Veterli rifls, and before the remaioing two hundred thousand receive it, a grant of nearly $2.500 000 must be obtain ed of tbe Parliament aud tbe rifles ordered. War was probably never averted for waut either of money or weapons, bot it has sometimes been postponed; and io the prolouged consideration which delay affords more peaceful coneels may alwava appear. Tbe authorities of Gotha have made their report for the year 1879 on the subject of cremation. Tbe first body submitted to this in de of disposal was treated on tbe 10th of December, 187S, since when fifteen others bave been similarly dealt with. Tbe time required for ibe complete incineration of tbe bodies is about 2 hours on an average, and it is regard ed as a most satisfactory fact tbat not onlv bas no complaint as to tbe result been made at Gotba, but that a number of other Germau towns are preparing to follow in its wake. (Jelling Married. In marrying you make your own match. Do not marry any one to get rid of him, or to oblige him, or to save bim. Tbe man tbat would go to ie s..ruction without you, would quite likely go with you, and gerbaps drag you along. Do not marry in haste, lest you re pent at leisure. Do not marry for a home and a living, when by burning up your cor sets aud taking care of your health you can be strong enough to earn your own living. Do not let aunts, fathers, or moth ers, sell yon for money or position into bondage, ttars, and life-long mis ery, wbich joq alone oust endure. D.o not place yourself habitually iu the company of any suitor till you bave decided the question of mar riage ; human wills are weak, and people often become bewildered, and do not know their error till it is too late. Get away from their influences, settle your head and make op your mind alone. A promise may be made in an hour of balf-delirions ecstacy, which must be redeemed througa years ot Borrow, toil and pain. Do not trust your happiness in tbe keeping of one who bas no heart, qq bead, no health. Beware of oaace blood. Do not rush thoughtlessly, into wedded life, contrary to tbe counsel of your beat friends, .ove can wait : that which cannot wajt j8 something of a very digerent charac ter.
