r,rr CROCODILE BATTERY.

In the summer of l846, when everybody
in England was crazy with railway gam
bling, was sojourning on the banks OF the
Rohan, small stream in one Of the north
western provinces Of India. Here | hrst
became acquainted with the Mugger, or
India crocodile. had often, before leav.

specimens of the animal, and had read in
"Voyages and Travels" all sorts OF horri'

THE HORRORS OF MARRIAGE.

Mrs. Elizabeth Oakes Smith, one oi that
class of ladies' who are in despair at the
"wrongs" inflicted upon woman by those
wicked wretches called husbands, tells the
following anecdotes:
''In New England, even, where it might
be supposed that marriage was the least
adulterated, it has become very much o
household arrangement for thift or econo-

domestic points, in the same manner that
housekeeper is secured. Now. sligh,

Of position, who proposed 10 do the labor
of one Of her servants, provided her Pc
nurious husband would pay her, wife,
the price of service, six dollars per month,
which he was not ashamed to do.
Now the fact is that nineteen Yankee
wives out Of every twenty are allowed to
sit at home like queens, with hardly suffi-
cient occupation 10 save them from ennui,
while their husbands work like slaves in
counting houses and manufactures. But
instead of complaining about this system,
the husbands glory in it. This peculiarly
has been noticed by every European trav-
eller, and our countrymen have been Sc
verely blamed for. petting their wives TOO
much. We are far from backing such an
ungallant opinion, but there can be no
harm in bringing it before the eyes of those
