A mere boy and g4rl, who perhaps
have never met before, ate brought
together as man and wife, without
their consent being asked or given, and
by the arbitraly injunctions of their
parents. 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

»#p25-ly 307 king St., Charleston, 3. C,.
Iionae of ttid billy Johoraui, whom I
kuew t.i bw the most ultra Union man
; in all that rt-glm. I La-1 no personal
.mjuuluuotv witb him and MUa’i
I tbluk that lie had eveff se*-n me, ao I
! i-oo«lu<l®il M risk myself ttoil**r bis
} roof that night any way. It was my
purpose to give him a fictitious namt*.
for I felt pretty aute that if be dis
covered that 1 was Tom Wood, the
rebel scout, i wonlil not live to see
daylight. Mustering up couritge, su<l
helpeti along by the wet and ccld, I
j sought refuge ondet-Johnson's roof,
! and was hospitably r.vetve-l, Willie
oitriug by the flie warmtug myself,
I Jobueon kept looking Into my face
; very eurnestlr, wbeu all st once be
uro»e from his seat an<i approached,
l and standing dlrectiv In front of me,
, any* : “Aiu’t your nnm* W>-od 7”
“Here was a poser, and I thought I
was caught. I knew that if be reoo
ntzed me it would (*0 no good
about it, so I owned up mid said that
it was my uatn®. “Well,'’ said he,
‘thiH Is Brother Jimmy Wood ain’t li?*
This relieved me. 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 ?
Would we be ao impatient of the faults
of others7 Would we Allow trivial
misunderstandings to build up strong
walls between us and those who ought
to staud very doss to us 7 Would we
keep alive petty quarrels, year after
year, which a manly word any day
would compoae 7 Would we pass
neighbors of old friends on the street
without reoognirl'Mi, because of some
real or faucied slight, some wounding
of pride, or some uncisuii grudge? Or,
wotihFJbe sotflitry of ogr kind words,
our cvifAineiidatioos, our sympathy,
our comfort, when weary hearts all
about us are breaking for just such
expressions of interest or apprectatlvo
no we have It In our power t*» glv- 7
We all know bow kindly It mokea
us feel towards any one to sit beside
his death-bod. We are spending, our
last hour with him. We would not
utter a harsh Word, nor cherish a sin
gle grudge against him, for the world.
AH our coldness melts down before
the eyes thxt have death's far awiy
look In them. All tbs long-frozen
kindly sentiment in bur hearts to
wards our friend Is thawed out as we
have our last intercourse with him
Then we all know, too, bow slumber
ing love awak®s, and cold spirit* warm,
andall thecbill of selfishness dissol
ves, beside a dead man’s coffin. Every
ono feels kindly then. Not a trace of
grudging or bitterness lingers in any
heart. Blights and wrongs are for
given. Icy Winter changes to mellow
Summer. Loving words of gratitude
or appreciation flow from evety too
gtie. Praise and commendation, nev-
l)o the Thirl Termer* Mean to Make
Grant President 1—The Elector* to
Vote for Gr*nt Jfthe Republican* Wln<
INcwYork Star.l
SntAcrau, October Si—Ant the
Republican leaders plotting Imperial
ism? -lam impelled to this question
by a revelation made .to me, which, if
true, and if the Democrats are Unsuc
cessful, menus that the next President
of the United States Will be a man who
was not voted for. 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. Mark me wed.'ll. S. Grant wilt
be the next Presideut of the United
States!”
I asked for nh explanation, and the
gentleman replied: •
"You doubtless remember the fa-
rrioas conference at Mentor, ut which
Garfield, Coukliog, Grant and Logan
ere preseot?
I nodded aflfrmativBly.
TDK PLOT UDVRILEP.
’•Well, st that meeting a gigantic job
was put up. It was arranged that Grant
should ire President and Garfield Vice
President.”
•‘How could th.-tt be scnHppliahed V'
‘‘Easy. All that Would bu nra-esaary
Would be for the cleClora to cast their
ballots fi* Grant and Garfield.' 1
“Did Garfield consent to this dispo
sition of him?”
“He had no alternative. Without
Uonklnig's aki he saw that it was- abso
lutely iuip jasible for our party to suc
ceed.''
‘-What i-to be done With Aftbuff'
‘‘He will be provided for.',
“Will the electors consent to
their ballots for Grant and Garfield?”
In return the gentianau asked/
‘‘Dobs the Republican party waul to lose
Conkling and Groat?"
“WBy will aot Conkling xomc to
Syracuse with Graut, as first an noun
ced?“
“For the reason that he is not in good
accord with I lie Republicans here
The delegation from hia district went
against Grant at Chicago.''
‘‘Do you know this to be true?’'
“Yes."
••How?" "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-

for the good of souls was effectually

other day. She was entertaining the

large blue eyes, fair complexion, and
despite her blue ,silk dress and iong
sash, a pure heavenlinees of expres

be an angel,” and had returned to their
sport. And now, to begin the loving

the good woman held out her band#
with tbe most winning graoe. and aek-

It Would seem tb be the fashion
nowadays for men to marry women
older than they, or rather, considering
tbe fact closely, (or women to marry
men younger than themselves. 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

then. But they cannot remalh young,
