Any previous attachment is impossible among the Hindoos J yet LuschmUls theTfoddess of beauty and love, who, like Greek Aphrodite sprang from thewhite froth of the ocean. Influenced by eelflsh motives or by family pride, the loveless marriage will be celebrated with a pomp and splen-, diyjr, jrhich tax the fatally excheqber to the. utmost, and perbapH leave them all drowned in debt. The extreme youth in whieh thBTJontrartlng parties are mated, together wRb local cus toms, renders It almost Impossible that the affections of either mq be other wise engaged J hence there is no room for |he discord occasioned .by ill as sorted marriages in Europe. . In accepting her husband for better or for Worse, without being consulted In the matter, the little Hindoo bride only follows the immemorial custom of her country* all unconscious that the least injustice is done her, and, if kind ly treated by her hnsbaod, becomes re conciled to the routine of life, and will repay his kindness with a love that errs only in its excess. Yet she is a slave, rather than the helpmate of her husband ; she dare not share bis meals, but must stand In attendance on him when be eats, and however harsh his usages, must endure it with patience and silent resignation, for “the luw, so far from affording any le gal relief, expressly declares that no degree of Wortbleseness on bto part can either dissolve the marriage or justify her In refuting to yield him the utmost deference as heriord hndmas- t" Yot the marriige is not Indis soluble. for, if the husband wishes for freedom, the most frivolous pretext, may be seized for degrading, supplant ing, and turning the luckless wife adrift, and polygamy being legal, the husband may select wife after wife as iong as he pleases. Under such a system, virtue am neither flourish, u >r domestic happi ness be understood, as the peace and purity of the Hindoo home are often PLOTTING FOR AN RMPIBB.

You see he mis took me for my brother Jim, and she- lug hew It was, I humored the mistake, though Jim is h blasted eight uglier man nor me. Bat I wasn’t standing on looks then; the circumstances didn’t admit of it. “Well, really,’ suys he, ‘‘Brother Wood, I am glad to see you. I ain't seen you since the camp meeting on the hill, nigh os to twenty yeais ago. And he took my hand and shook it like he was glad to see me. But I could hardly keep from laughing iu bL face at being taking as a class leader. You see, Jim is a Methodist dud a leader lo the church, audso is Johnson, and that’s how he called me ‘‘Brother Wood.” And then reoogA tffn* times and the enrapmeeting in the hills, and as the old man was willing to do most of the talking, I was will ing for him to do it. *i got alopg very well until we sot up to supper, when Johnson culled on me to say grace; - I^ad done mnny a hard day’s work ; bad been on many a long scout ; have been in some mighty hot tights ; but 1 tell you, honestly boys, the hardest and hottest work I ever done was to get out that blessing iu a genteel way. But this was uo time for flinching, and I got through witb It. Eveiything moved on smooth ly, until hed-ttm® came around. Broth er Johnson put the Bible on the stand, snuffed the candle and asked me to lead iu family worship. I had broken the Ice by oskios the blessing at the supper table, so I read a chapter in the book, and kneeling down offered up the .first ptayer of my life. By J1ugs, It was a good one. I didn’t for get to ptay for the restoration of the Union and the destruction of its ene mies. Maybe it was answered. I had a good night's rest, and wb®n I left In the morning felt better than I ever did In my life. In fact, boys, I believe it does a man good to pray 4 little once in a while, even if he is forced to do tf. I mean to do mure of it hereafter. But that Is the way I escaped, by being mistook for my brother Jim.” si'spIciouH jealousies that now so uf ten embitter t ho fountain of our loves ?

On Moildity flight*, at a late hour, I was sitting in one of the hotels 'talking with a prominoiit Republican politician, a gentleman thoroughly acquainted with all iusidd matters of the campaign- when the conversation turned upon the visit of Grant to Syracuse, I asked: “What is the secret of Grant’s interest in Garfield’s success f^ r r, The gentleman did not reply at once. Finally he said, with a significant movement of the hosd. “Hi hsa an object 4*’ Not a little surprised, 1 inquired I "How is ths»?" "It would not become me {o tdl talcs out of‘school, * responded the other. •‘I am too good a Republican.’’ I pressed the gentleman, and st last he said; “ 1 d i not feel bound to keep the secret, as I was opposed to Gar field.

"I The gentleman was silent. “Did you learn it fr.-tn an elector?” “I have already told you more than I intended,*' he answered ; "but as I am opposed to a third term, I raunot restrain iny feelings on this impoai- tioo.” This is the conversation almost verbatim. Later developemeuts rcc d’ed it vivid ly to my mind. Other remarks were made, but they were of no importance Grant arrived in 'he city yefterday, and belore hia departure this morning learned sufficient to convince me that the huge political job was not an improba bility but a fact I endeavored to gain an audience with Grant, to approach him on the subject, but owing to the crowd that constantly hovered about him, I found it utterly impossible to ob tain a private hearing. I cast about, nod as the result of ray observations and inquiries, I obtsined rhil I consider to be absolute proof that the plot was eq* tirelj the work of Conkling. I believe that the National Committee is in league with ‘Conkling, and from the disclosures I think that a sufficient num her of electors have promised to assist iu carrying out the schemes.

They had Just sung “I want to be an angel,” and had returned to their sport. And now, to begin the loving luro for that young soul, already to mortal view so near tbe pearly gate, the good woman held out her band# with tbe most winning graoe. and aek- en in her softest tones : "Dora, dear, do you want to be an angel 7” Look log up from her suddenly Intorruptod gam®, the lad pleat angel slightly "took down” her faaclnatod hoetass with the outburst, "Ob. go to grass; don’t bother!"—Congregations! 1st.

It to not the fashion of nature or reason, however 1 consequently, it to not s good or desirable fashion, despite tbe examples prominent in high social cir cles. When a young couple are wed ded, It appears to fatter very Httle that the girl should be one at two or three years the man’s senior > and, in deed, it doss not matter very little then.
