It is related of a certain old cynic that when (me of his juniors was introduced to him he would ask, " Are you married ?" If the answer was in the affirmative, his comment was: " Lucky dog 1" If he received a negative replj, he ejaculated: " Happy aog!" It is needless to 8ay that the old cynic was himself a married man. An old English poet has compared matrimony to a lighted lantern. Thp inRnrts nntaiifo bntt thfiir IirajIh against the pane to get in, while those inside butt their heads to get out again. How much cynicism there is in the old poet's figure, we caunot undertake to say. It is certain that unless things speedily mend, there will be a general and justifiable belief among young people in the infelicity of the marriage state. Now and then, as if by a flash of lightning, the public is shown the frightful skeleton which some unhappy couple have kept m their closet. Or a lawsuit takes the roof of a man's house and reveals a state off things inside which the shudderihg observer likens to the place of the damned. Scarcely a day passes in which it is not the duty of the newspaper chronicle to reodril some event Vtv vrVtinli a iornna AAnnla TV4AAVU ? VVU|/AV UUTVA ViOU VUV-U misery to the world. It is a dreadful ending to a drama which opened with so nrach happy promise. There was a lovely young bride, for ail young brides are lovely, crowned with the delicate flowers which were emblems of her sweetness and purity. -She gave her trembling hand to the proud and happy bridegroom. Long, perhaps, had he pressed his ardent suit. And now he was like a young king just come to his majority. She was trusting, and he*was so sincerely devoted that he knew that no wind of heaven should visit her cheek too roughly while he lived. What a charming picture they made as ikpv stood at the altar?a rare combination ol beauty and strength? joyfully entering upon the holiest covenant which humanity makes with humanity. How many good wishes follow them, what ripples of delight spread outward from the joyous event that makes them one. Wherever they gothey carry their happiness with them, so impossible of concealment that even the most indifferent stranger takes a share in their benediction. Hard-featured old people look on with an unconscious relaxation of visage. The machine-like servants, railway people, and hotel clerks met on the wedding journey surrender a trifle of their official coldness, and look kindly on the gay, innocent pair. Not only is earth to these new beginners a rosy place to live ir, but each has found the perfect companion for life. In the nature of things, this cannot always be. No more is it possible that one should always bear the weight of which hoirs on? nt th? Ride nf a J death-bed. The load of sorrow wears awav before we are satisfied that we ought ever to be happy again. And the rtfined joy of the bridal time is tempered by the cares and responsibilities of married life. Bnt when it happens, as it often does, that the drama that began with music, flowers, smiles, and sunshine, speedily ends in darkness and misery, the mournful conclusion is that there has been a terrible mistake. It is better, perhaps, that the world should never know just where the error lay. Perhaps it was in the beginning. Perhaps some fault of temper, some long concealed vice, some unsuspected weakness, came to the surface when all else was smooth and fair. Possibly, each of the partner* was in fault, and, instead of bearing with each other, they were f petulant, suspicious, exacting, or simply oold and indifferent. Whatever was the _ original cause of estrangement, things went on froiil "bad to woise until the domestic trouble is bruited far and wide. The man and woman who tasted together the sweetness of love's young dream are h^mf each other. The husband who intofd to love and charisb, (and meant it, too,) is trying to break his lawful wedlock. The wife ^ho vowed to love 9ud honor finds life a blank. She has lost her happiness forever. Tins is all very miserable. It seems more miserable because we involuntarily contrast the conclusion with the lovely picture of the beginning. In all the wide world there is no place so horrible as a home in which husband and wife are at odds. It is no home. The woman is an alien under the roof of him who * if as to defend aod protect her. The man, who should find rest and comfort * mshome, shuts his door behind him . with a sense of relief, and goes out into ' the streets to escape the horror that bj+dJh' io his house. Is it any wonder that murder, suicide, drunkenness, and ifcfckid often hurry to drop the curtain Op all this misery ? And is it any wonder ihAt young peoDle who see this wretched end of a promising life are afraid to try the experiment? For it is an experiment^ and, unfortunately, the failures aremore conspicuous than the successful issues. No man can tell whether a majority of marriages are happy or un-f happy; to* many skeletons are kept securely locked in domestic secrecy. But there are so many woeful chapters of wedded misery unfolded to the public gaze that men say, "I may be singly unblest; but I may also be cursed double." It is evident that many marriages are not founded on love and respect. Some are contracted like business partnerships; some are entered upon out of pique; and not a few marr^ without any adequate notion of the binding nature of the obligations so lightly assumed. We have gone far away from the oldfashioned homely idea of home. Unless we have more wholesome views of life and society, happy manftges will become more unfrequent.?New York Timet. . Reminiscence of Nellie Grant's Wedding.' When Mrs. Sartoris, radiant with happiness, had gone from home and kindred to cross the ocean and find new ties with strangers, her wedding robe and veil were the last articles to be put away in one of those zinc packing-boxes that - ?^ was used to preserve her silks from the effects of a jsdh voyage. An attache of the White House took a porter up stairs : to bring down this last packing-box?it was in Nellie's room. He knocked; re- j ,-a'wincr anawor hft PTltprftd. MrS. I Giant confronted him, and.by a sign motioned him not to permit the porter to enter, and laid her finger npon her mouth to invoke silence. The man glanced about the apartment to divine the cause of this imposed quiet. Upon his daughter's bed, his face bnr.'ed in her pillows, convulsed with suppressed emotiou, lay prone and prostrate the griefstricken father, who had gone through all the oeremonies'o? tliat marriage day:'; with dry eyes and an umnofeefc afra u ten - j an *e, bnt parent love for a favorite child [ !?u 1 conquered the *' belted sphinx " \ only in the privacy of his daughter's \ ohaujbtr.?Detroit Frre Prets. I 4 Charity Green's Gifts. " Double fold, and only five cents a yard. It was the cheapest piece o' plaid worsted I ever laid my eves on!" exclaimed' to herself Miss Charity Green, the old maid tailoress of Allantown, and she unfolded the three-dollar bank-note which she had received the day before for a week and a half's sewing at the Squire's, and smoothed the ragged corners, and looked at it affectionately. "Six yards 'U make me a full dress, ' and I must have it to wear at cousin Nathan's, as they've sent me their usual invitation to Christmas dinner. I guess I'll step over and get the stuff at j once and. run up the Dreaatns tins evenin', as I've got all them button I holes ou Joseph Blake's new coat to ! make to-morrow, and I've no time to let J grass grow under my feet." Mies Charity Green was a very poor ! woman who lived by her needle, and rented the "middle room "in widow Blake's small one-story house. She had a thin, faded face, with nothing pretty or attractive about it, except when she smiled, and then little children would be sure to forget all about the wriukles and the homeliness, and tangle her spools of thread and play with the scissors, which always hung around her neck, fastened with black ribbon, and I never dream of stopping or beiqg in the least alarmed by her frequent, "There, there; children ! Dear me! I do believe little hands are the busiest in the world? Who ever did see !" Poor Miss Charity Green ! She was that very sad spectacle, a lonely, almost 1 - - ? ?i | friendless woman, wunoui miuer ur I mother, brother or sister, husband or children in the world. Her life was turning its face toward half a century of years ; her health, never vigorous, was gradually failing her; and a cold, lonely old age rose up sometimes and appalled her with its chill and gloom. She had to work early and late, for the ropf that sheltered and the bread that nourished her. Poor Miss Charity Green 1 But as she tied on her straw bonnet that evening; there was a quick knock at the door, and the next moment a little brown curly head, with a pair of eager, | bright, dancing eyes was thrhst inside. "Come in, Johnnie; what do you ! want ?" said Miss Ctarity Green. And I if you had heard her VO^e just then you would have understood something of the 1 -*i "' ^on irannml ft fftrnri.fi | BtXJICt U1 iRU uuusg ov ^vuvim* ? v... w with children. " Mother wants to know, Miss Green, if you'll lend her a drawin' o' tea. She'll pay you to-morrow." " 0 she needn't* bo in the least bit o' hurry about that are," answered Miss Green, as she took the little blue cup from the boy's hand. " Do sit down, Johnnie, and warm yourself by the are." And the boy sat down in the great arm-chair, while the woman measured the tea in Che cover of her tin canister. | " Mother and sisters pretty well to- i day, Johnnie ?" "Yes, ma'am, only mother said she felt a little o' rhenmatiz in her right shoulder this mormn'." Dear me, suz I It won't do for her to let the rheumatiz get hold on her this time o' year. Ill jest step out into the shed and get'her-'a little boneset I al'ays lay up some every fall, for there's nothin' like it for rheumatiz,- as my grandfather used to say."

" I don't know," said the boy in a dis- j consolate tone of voice, twisting Ins! brown fingers in and out of each other. { " What! you and sisters not going to hang up your stockings ?" " No, ma'am ; mc^hersaid she couldn't afford to give us any presents this year. 1 Ellen and Jane cried all the afternoon! about it" "Wall, now, I declare 1 That is too bad," answered the sympathising voice of Miss Green, and she silently tied the paper and snapped the thread with her scissors, and as she placed it in the bo^'s hands she said to him, " Never mind.

I shan't take a minute's comfort thmkin' ; o' the children's disappointment, and yet I don't see how in the world I can prevent it. If I didn't need that pladd dress now "?here the woman unclasped her bead purse and drew out the banknote and looked at it wistfully. "Them children must hang up their stockings; but if they do I must go without my dress, for it's just come to that. One thing's sartin, I couldn't take a minute's comfort there in a new one thinking on Miss Russell's children ; no, not if it was the finest satin that ever stood alone," and here Miss Charity Green brought down her foot with solemn emphasis. " I must wear my shabby old silk, and those that don't like the looks must turn their heads t'other way; for as long as I hold three dollars in my hands them children sha'n't go without a merry Christmas." "Oh I is that you ? Do come in, Miss Green," and the little pale, sorrowfulfaced, care-worn Mrs. Russell lifted her head from the child's stocking she was ? darning as ner neiguuur oukicu mo room. 44 Little folks all abei?" whispered Miss Green in a low, mysterious tone of voice, as she came into the room with something carefully concealed under her shawl. " Yes, I sent 'em off an hour ago? poor things!" and a deep sigh -heaved the heart of widow Russell?a sigh that was born of wearying cares, and baffled hopes, and fainting spirits. "Wall, you see, Miss Russell," still preserving her low, mysterious tones, - ? ? ? v? ftua SlOWiy uncovering net xuvx uumu shawl, revealing several packages in brown paper. "I thought as it was about Christmas time when little folks would want some firms?you know children ain't like grown folks anyhow ; so I kinder thought I'd slip somethin' into their stockings, for I s'pose you'd ways enough for every penny." "Oh, Miss Green, you are too good now !" What a light it was that broke over the pale, worn face of the mother as her eyes fell on the bundles ! "S'pose you jest take a squint at .lent," said the old maid, breaking the sipall cords aad tearing away the wrappers. | Fjr#tt, tb$re waaa blue drum with red stripes for Johnnie, which his mother knew would fairly throw him into ecstasies ; then in a round piuk box was | a white china tea-set for Ellen, with the 1 most diminutive cups and saucers, and i the daintiest sugar-bowl, and creammug, and water-pitcher; and for little i Jane there was a wax doll, with black eyes, and ruby bps, and small dainty j rings of real brown hair; and a red-bird ! in a cage picking seeds out of a yellow 1 trough; and added to all these was a purple liorn-of-plenty tied with golden ribbons, and filled with sugar plums for ! each of the children, Mrs. Russell's faded eyes gleamed with new light as she gazed at the gifts. She tried to speak, but the words I choked themselves back in her throat, and she broke down in a sob of tears. " Wall, I do say now, Miss Russell," said her neighbor, attempting in awkI ward but sincere fashion to comfort her. : "Don't give up so. It ain't much, I { know, but then we all had to be chil| dren once." " Yes, Miss Green, and it's jest the thought o' that and the good times we used to have when I was a wild, careless gal at father's that's e'en a-most broke my heart ever since I told the children thev mustn't expect to hang up their stockings this Christmas. You never did seen children so pat down in your ' life; they ain't hardly smiled since, and : it's seemed as though we'd had a funeral i in the house when I put 'em to bed to night." " Well, s'pose now you jest get their i stockings and we'll slip them in, and you : can pin 'em up to the bod-post, you | know." i Mrs. Russell went to her chest of | cherry drawers and brought forth three small blue and white woolen stockings, j and the hearts of the two women were full of a tune of gladness, as they crowded the playthings inside. " The house won't hold 'em to-morrow I mornin'," exclaimed Mrs. Russell, j "Xhey's be as proud as kings and i queeDS." " Bless their hearts!" said Miss Green. : " There ain't no use o' tryin' to get this drum inside." "No, I'll jest set it on the mantle. Umi- toa f T #vxr>Act I sha'n't know whether my head's off or on to-morrow mornin' about seven o'clock." And so Mrs. Russell's mother heart dwelt on the delight of her children, and j Miss Green drank in her words greedily, with frequent ejaculations of wonder "9^*!*tfeow the wind does blow!" said thaold maid as she gathered her shawl eftMr about her head and hastened down the load to her home, while a raw blast struck her in the faoe. The night was foil of the moan of winds and the anger of black > winter^ clonds; but Charity Green did not mind this, for her heart was full of the last words of Mrs. Bussell: "I don't know how to thank you, Miss Green, but- yon have remembered the widow an4 the fatherless, and be sure God will remember it of yon." " Merry Christmas?merry Christmas, ! Miss Green !" The voioes, the bright, ! eager, children's voices, were outside the I door and inside the room all in a breath. There was Johnnie with his drum, and Ellen whose blue eyes danced with i joy over her tea-set, and little flaxenj haired Jane, who looked " cunning as a I witch," Miss Green averred, as she hogged op in troe motherly fashion ner precious doll to her heart. Then soch a confusion of voices and ronning of feet, drowned freqnently in the sound of Johnnie's drum, as went on for the next hoor in Miss Green's solitary room. "We're goin' to play company this afternoon," said Ellen, "and I'm goin' to set oot my tea-set and "? [ " And I'm goin' to be mother," broke in the sweet child-voice of little Jane. " And I shall bring dolly and the canary and act jnst like a big woman goin' a' visitin'." > " And I'm goin' to be a soldier jest come home from the wars," said Johnnie; and here he struck on his drum so loud that Miss Green put her hands to her ears, exclaiming : "Oh, children, for all the world!

It looked gray and shabby, it is true ; but she would not have felt half so happy in the richest velvet that ever adorned the figure of an empress. A Simple Method of Ventilating fiooiyg. Dr. H. N. Dodge informs us that he lias found the following plan very satisfactory for the ventilation of rooms that are much used during oold weather: Nail or screw a neat strip of wood, from one to two inches high, upon the window sill, just inside of the sash and extending entirely across from one side of* the window frame to the other. Upon the top of this strip fasten a piece of ordinary "weather strip," so that there will be formed an air-tight joint between the " weather strip " and the lower sash tka vnn^nir wVtAf.VtAr thA lat.tftr 1H V1 V*4V nAMMVnl ? shut down tight or raised an inch or two, the lower cross-piece of the sash sliding on the rubber of the "weather strip " as the sash rises. With this simple fixture in plaoe, the lower sash may be raised enough to admit a stream of air between the lower and upper sashes, where they lap over each other at the middle of the window, without ad; mitting the least air at the window sill. I The air admitted between the sashes is ! thrown directly up toward the ceiling, ' and there mixes with the heated air at the upper part of the room. The room is thereby ventilated in a thorough and i agreeable manner without drafts of cold ; air upon the persons in the room. The ; amount of ventilation may be regulated : by the distance that the lower sash is raised. This arrangement is cheap, simple and effective.?Scientific American, On a railway line, recently, a passenger stopped the conductor and asked : " Why does not the train run faster ?" " It goes fast enough to suit us. If you don't like the rate of speed, get off and walk," was the rejoinder. " I would," replied the passenger, settling back in his seat, " bufrmy friends wouldn't come for me until the train comes in, and I /irm'f want tn waiting aronnd the sta tion two or three hours." The heroic attack upon Fort St. Nicholas in the Shipka Pass, was led by an Englishman, Major Campbell. At the head of a battalion of 800 men he took the fort and held it for six hours, and then had to retreat. Of the 800 men only five, beside the major himself, returned to the Turkish lines. It is the pluckiest exploit of the present war.

The air we breathe, which a groat English physician calls gaseous food, ; may become impure to the degree of being indigestible to our lungs and utterly unfit for the performance of funcI tions which are quite as important as those of our solid and fluid victuals. Dull*headaches, nausea, loss of appetite and of the eense of smell, and the sadness produced by the unsatisfied hunger after exygen, are only incidental and secondary evils ; the great principal curse of the troglodyte habit is its influence on the respiratory organs. In 1853, when Hanover and other parts of northern Germany were visited by a vflrv malignant kind of small-pox, the great anatomist Langenbeck tried to discover "the peUVJ u?tv ?? fonnd to be a most reliable safeguard against chills and fever, bilious remittents, ana still more malignant types of malarious disease, and when employed as a remedy have always graved their adequacy to the task of eradicatlg such maladiqg from the system. For disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, which in hot climates and miasmatic localities are particularly rife, the Bitters are a prompt and thorough remedy.
