fact, and that the continuance Of the cohab
;tot;o,, vrsa not sufieient

fact, and that the continuance Of the o0hab
itation was not sufficient.
On these facts and points, the Supreme
Court held that the marriage Of the plaintiff
with William Reed, during the lifetime Of
Guest, her husband, was null and void, and
of no legal avail whatever. Such was the
uniform and well settled rule Of the common
law. The statute concerning bigamy does
not render the second marriage legal, not-
withstanding the former husband or wife
may have been absent about five years, and
not heard Of It only declares that the
party who marries again, in consequence OF
such absence Of the former partner, shall be
exempted from such operation Of the statute,
and leaves the question of the validity OF the
second marriage just where it found 1t.
Elizabeth Reed, then, was really the law
full wife of Guest, and continued so until the
death Of the latter, in 1900; and the true
question is, whether there was evidence suf-
icient to justify the Court below in conclud-
ing that she was afterward married to Reed.
Though the court below may have decided
upon erroneous grounds, yet If, upon the
return, there appear to be other and sur
fcient reasons to justify their decision, the
judgment ought to be affirmed. There is no
proof Of any subsequent marriage IN fact,
ana no evidence OF any boleuuAAalion u on0
ceremony with Reed, after Guests death.
But proof Of an actual marriage is not in
dispensably necessary. Such strict proof
is only required in prosecutions for bigamy,
and in actions for criminal conversation. A
marriage may be proved, in other cases, from
cohabitation, reputation, acknowledgment Of
the parties, reception in the family, and
other circumstances from which marriage
may be inferred No formal solemnization
was requisite. A contract Of marriage made
per verba de PRESENT., amounts to an actual
marriage, and is as valid as if made an facie
ecclesie.
In this case there existed strong circum-
stances from which marriage subsequent
to the death of Guest might be presumed.
The parties cohabited together as husband
and wife, and under the reputation and un-
derstanding that they were such, from 1900
to 1906; and the wife, during this time,
sustained good character in society. These
are sufficient grounds to infer an actual mar
riage.
Judgment of the court below, favorable to
Elizabeth Reed, and ordering the payment
of the annuity to her, affirmed.

But there's nought can give me rest.

THE EAGLE.-The eagle, as an emblem
is not as is generally supposed Of Roman orr
gin. Xenophon describes the sceptre Of the
Persian kings as ga long staff, surmounted by
an eagle with spread wings" According to
Aristopbanes the scepties Of Menelaus and
Agamemnon were also surmounted with
eagles. The wolf Of Romulus and Remus was
the emblem Of the Romans before the adop-
tion Of the eagle The Eruscaps brought the
frst eagle mounted sceplre to Rome, in the
time Of Tarouin tho Elder. The kings who
succeeded him adopted tke symbol, practice
which was finally oonsecsated by the Emper-
ors. In 1920, a bronze eagle Weighing eight
pounds, was discovered in a little village
in Germany, among the ruins of an old
Roman fortifcation TIE cabinet of Vienna

the head Of Augustus and on the other an
eagle holding in his claws crown Of oak

is now the national emblem Of Prussia, Aus
tria, Russia France, and the United States.
A white eagle was the emblem Of Poland

Government of Children.

Let the mother be, and let her select
servants such as she wishes the child 10
be. The youngest child is affected by
the conduct of those in whose arms he
lives.
Let a mother feel as she ought, and
she will look as she feels. Much of o
child's earliest moral training is by looks
and gestures.
When necessary, exhibit firmness and
authority always with perfec, temper,
composure, and selfpossesslon.
Never give a child that which ii cries
for and avoid being too ready in ans
wering children's demands, else they
become impatient Of refusal, and selfish.
When the child is most violent, the
mother should be most calm and silent.
Out screaming screaming child is as
useless as it is mischieyous. Steadily
deny the object screamed Tor, is the best
cure for screaming.
In such contests, witnesses should
withdraw ana leave the mother and child
alone. A child is very ready 10 look
around and attract the aid of foreign
sympathy in its little rebelions.
Never promise TO give when the child
leaves off crying. Let the crying be a
reson for not giving.

ADVICE. Boys, read something use
full every day, something to reflect upon
while at your work or road to school
Be inquisitive find out things. Don't
let the blood pass from your heart to
your fingers euds thousands of times
and you know nothing of its notions
Store your minds early with wisdom
Read little every day.
Remember Roger Sherman. He was
one of the noblest examples of how
much self-culivaton may do for "A man.
His school privileges were of the most
ordinary kind.
Early in life he was apprenticed TO a
shoemaker, and instead Of joining in the
vulgar conversation so common TO many
of his companions, he would sit at his
work with an open book before him, and
devote every moment that his eyes could
be spared from the occupation in which
he was engaged TO reading,
BE saving of your little allowance, and
buy books,-lives Of good and great
en,-men such as Washington and a
host of others, whose virtues have rem
dered their names immortal. Cultivate
a taste for reading. The field of nslruc-
ton to which it will lead you is bound
less.

Mrs. Hodges and the Moonshine

"lt's nothing but moonshlne l''cried
old Mrs. Hodges as she stopped TO grasp
what she thought was silver, lying upon
the floor The old lady's spectacles were
on awry, and it was difficult matter
for her 10 see straight at best. "lrs
nothing but moonshine," the old lady
murmured again TO herself as she sat
down and began TO pick the stitches in
her knitting. "Well it is wonderful,
that | was SO deceived, but amt the
first one that has been fooled, that's GER
iain--nor shall be the last one, unless
the world strangely alters.
There's old brother Taylor, who
would insist that his Ebenezer was the
smartest child i'll the world and
when the boy chose a trade and want
ed to be an honest and respectable me-
chanic, he forced him into one of the
learned professions, thinking his Ebene-
ger would get TO be President, maybe,
and find lots of silver in his pathway,
bit IL prOpes TO be moonShine The
boy isn't rich nor hardly respectable, and
never VIII be, lear.
"Then, there is sister Pike, with her
five unmarried girls living on her like so
many leeches. 1t all comes of moon
shine for silver. When they were young,
she wouldn't hear TO their being taught
any thing that is useful. She looked
upon all labor as degrading the girls
must not hem their pocket handkerchieis
for fear it would mar the beauty of their
hands; they learned to play the piano,
when they should have been learning in
my opinion, to play on the spinning
wheel, they wrought little brown dogs in
worsted yarn, although, if they hadn't
have told me what The animals were
meant for, should have taken them for
horses; learned French when they
should have been studying cookery
books, and spun street yarn when they
should have been at home. They have
grown to be artificial creatures, and fail
ing to accomplish what they have been
taught is the great end of women's life,
viz; 10 get married-ihey live sour,
grabbed old maids, almost worrying sis
ter Pixies life out of her Oh, oh me I!
this all comes of neglecting what is use
ful for what is ornamental-countlng
that TO be silver, and worth great deal,
which is merely moonshine.
Then there is Jack Rogers, who left
an interesting family and good lucra-
tive situation for the purpose of growing
suddenly rich in California. He has just
got home poorer than he went; has
come home sick and dispirited. Poor
fellow if there is gold in California, it
proved to be moonshine for him. It's
my opinion that when folks are well of
at home, they had better stay there"
Here the old lady dropped like the
thread of her discourse, and the thread
of knitting, and we cane away
