A HoNE observation-disclosures is a
dreadful weapon Of domestic tyranny
Many household can tell the grinding
power Of a sel6shness which DISCUSSES itself
under the form Of delicacy Of tastes and
habits Many are the tears Of ve1ation,
anxiety, modification and disappointment,
occasioned by the unfeeling temper and in.
conslderate exactions which are the legiu-
male fruit Of undue attention 10 personal
comfort. One must be liItle observsnt Of
what is about him il he have not sometimes
been driven by the ingenious acquisitions Of
the selEindulgent, TO wish that the hair-shirt,
the pulse-and-wrter. and the 6inty bed Of
the anchorIe could be tried for the relor-
nation Of such. Providence seems often
TO discipline these people by increasing the
sensitiyeness they have voluntarily induced
Or cherished, until it becomes a tormenting
want which nothing in nature is capable Of
sllsying. They are crushed by the gods
their own hands have set up.

A RUSSIAN WIFE FAR.-The chief
opportunity Of seeing native hnery is mixed
up with very curious custom observed on
White Monday at the summer gardens,
when the unmarried girls present themselves
for the chance OF being selected and sought
in marriage by those who are on the look
out for wives. These young people arrange
themselves in rows by the sides Of the long
avenue, attended by their mothers, decksd
out IN their gayest costume. while eongre-
gated thousands promenade up and down
in dense crowds. The idea rsalises what
We call love at first sight, and is certainly
a novel way Of putting the power Of Cupid
10 the test. IL any arrow fails, the party
introduces himself to the mother, and en-.
changes addresses, and the matter is nego-
tiated at home This is confined 10 the
little PeoPle-I mean those Jus, above the
lower class; but in former times il was
to all ranks.-Lis in Russia.

HE FIRST MISUNDERSTANDING is Of

a paradise that is left us-one smile that
God let fall on the worlds innocence, lin.
geing and playing sill upon its sacred Wis
age. The first marriage was celebrated be-
fore God himself, who filled in his own
person. the Office of Guest, Witness and
Priest. There stood the two godlika forms
Of innocence, fresh in the beauty Of their
unstained nature. The hallowed shades OF
the garden, and the green carpeted earth
smiled TO look upon so divine pair. The
crystal waters flowed by, pure and transpa.
rent as they. The unblemished flowers
breathed incense on the sacred air, answer
ing TO their upright love- An artles. round
Of Joy from all the vocal natures, was the
hymn, a spontaneous nUptial harmony,
such as a world in tune might yield, ere
dscord was invented. Religion blessed
her two children thus, and led them forth
into life, TO begin her wondrous history
The first religious scene they knew, was
their own marriage before the Lord God
They learned TO love him as the interpreter
and sealer Of their love To each other; and
il they had continued in their uprightness,
life would have been form Of welded
worship-a sacred mystery OF spiritual one.

cence. They tasted sin and knew il in
their fall Man is changed. mans hear,
and woman's are no longer what the first
hearts were. Beauty is blemished. Love
is dsbased. Sorrow and tears are in the

adsean matter, and the world is bowed un.
der its curse. Still one thing remains as it
was. God merciiully spared one token OF
the innocent world; and that the dearest. 10

And this is marriage. This one flower OF
Paradise is blooming yet in the desert OF
