MARRIAGES. M
DIE D.,

Died, on the 3oth day of June last, in the
62nd year of her age, Mrs MARGARET
NJ. SALES. She had been, for more than
n quarter Of century. member of the
Presbyterian Church, and her picty, though
unobtrusive and retiring, was sincere,
simple and pervading. Her faith had
been tried in the furnace of affection, she
had been visited with the sorest bercave.
ments which wife and mother can be
to experience, and for months before her
dissolution, she had the sentence Of death
visibly written in her own body, but the
grnce Of the Gospel proved to her, as it has
proved to all who have shared in It, an un.
failing source Of strength and consolation.
Her husband and surviving friends will. Il is
hoped, in cherishing her memory, strive to
catch the spirit of her example, and follow
her rs she followed Christ.

Mrs. Grumble's Scliloquy.

'THEKE's no calculating the difference be-
tween men and women boarders. Here's
Mr.. Jones, been in my house these six
months, and no more trouble to me than my
grey kitten. If his bed is shook up once n
week, and his coats, cravats, lovc-lcttcrs, ci-
gars,and patent leather boots, left undisturb-
cd in the middle of the floor, he is as con-
tented as pedagogue in vacation time.
Take n woman to board, and Cif it is per-
fectly convenient) she would like drapcry,
instead of drop curtains; she'd like the win
dows altered to open at the top, and ward
robe for her hounced dresses, and a few
more nails and another shelf in her closet,
and a cricket to put her feet on, and n little
rocking chair, and big looking glass, and
pea-green shade for her gas burner.
"She would like breakfast about ten min
utes later than your usual hour: tea ten
minutes earlier, and the gong, which shocks
her nerves SO, altogether dispensed with
She can't drink coffee, because it is too
eShilerating ; broma is too insipid and choc-
oiate too heavy. She don't fancy Cocoa
English breakfast tea, is the only beverage,
which agrees with her delicate spinster Or
ganization.
She can't digest n roast or a fried dish );
she might possibly peck at an egg, if it were
boiled with one eye on the watch. Pastry
she never eats, unless she knows from what
dairy the butter cartsc, which enters into its
composition. Every article Of food prepar-
ed with butter, salt, pepper, mustard, vine
gar or oil ; or bread that is made with yeast
soda, milk or sacratus, she decidedly rejects
Z" She is constantly washing out little
duds of laccs, collars, handkerchiefs, chemi-
zetts, and stockings, which she festoous up
to the front windows, to dry, giving passers
by the impression that your house is occu-
pied by blanches-seusc ; then jerks the
bell-wire for an hour or more, for relays of
hot smoothing-irons, to put the flushing
stroke to her operations.
"She is often afflicted with interesting lit
tie colds and inhucnzas, requiring the imme-
date consolation of n dose of hot lemonade
or ginger tea, choosing her time for these
out, and the servants are on q furlough.---
Oh! nobody knows, but those who have
tried, how immensely troublesome women
are !! I'd rather have a whole regiment of
men hoarders. All you have to do is, to
wind them up in the morning with power
ful cup of coffee, give them carte blanche to
smoke, and night key, and your work is
done"

ROMANCE IN REAL I.IFE.-Tn Tngham Co..
Michigan, it seems that one Mr.. G.. had
courted one of the fair ones in Vevav and
all arrangements were made for the consum-
nation of their happiness on Sund Goth
ult. But very much to the surprise of Mr..
e., on Saturday he received note from the
fair one, by special messenger,that she had
changed her mind. But he no doubt think
ing it ruse on her part, repaired to her fl-
theirs house with the necessary means of
consummating the bargain; when to bis ut
ter astonishment, what he supposed might
be ruse, was stern reality, for she, his
sintended, the evening before, was actually
married to Mr.. b. This was of course n
dilemma. But our hero, nothing dauntcd
by this defeat, and, probably not intending
to have her get too much the start, forth
with conrted up the younger sister, and was
married the same day.

'ATHER GAvAZZI's LECTURES AND LIFE
The anti.Popcry Lectures of this distin-
guished apostle of freedom are published
in very handsome volume by Messrs
Dewitt d. Davenport in the same style
rs Beatrice" and it is doubtless calcula.
ted to have even larger circulation than
that splendid work. Gavazzi now stands
before the world in the light of martyr
having freely exposed his life and con-
tended hand to hand with the assailants of
his doctrines.
The accuracy Of the reports Of the Lee
lures contained in this volume is avouched
by the testimony of many of the leading
cIergymcn Of New York. The Rev. DR..
w. r. Gordon. of the Seventh Avenue
Dutch Reformed Church, says :--"Having
heard most of the Lectures, as they came
over the falls Of the noble Italians elo-
quence, am gratified that memory rccog-
nises in every sentence n much greater
accuracy than / had right to expect
Besides the Lectures, this volume contains
n carefully prepared "Life" OF the Faith
er, revised and authorized by HIMSELF and
altogether we regard this as one of the
most valuable and important works Of the
season. From the great excitement crca-
ted by the visit and Lectures of Father
Gavazzi in the United States, the present
volume will undoubtedly have an immense
popularity and sale. Price, 80 cents pa

JAPANESE MARRIAGEs.-A very singu-
lar custom at the marriage OF the ia
panese is, that the teeth Of the bride are
made black by some corrosive liquid
The teeth remain black ever after, and
serve to show that woman is married
or widow. Another circumstance is, at
the birth Of every child, 10 plant tree in
the garden or courtyard, which attains
Its full growth in rs many years as man
requires to be mature for the duties OF
marriage. When he marries, the tree is
cut down, and the wood is made into
chests and boxes, TO contain the clothes
and other things which are made for the
new married couple. The japanese may
marry as often as they please; marriages
with sisters are prohibited but they can
marry any other relative.

~" The New York Courier dcs Etats

evening of the 10th ult., and therefore to the
latest moment, which says:
81 feel confident, that at Council held
at st. Cloud yesterday, resolutions were
adopted strongly in opposition to an occupa-
tion of the Danube provinces by Russia. 1t
was decided, that while it should be left to
Turkey to say whether she would consider
that occupation an act of hostility, earnest
representations should be made to the Porte
that the Treaties on which Russia pretended
to rely, offered not shadow of pretcxt to
Justify such proceeding. 1t was taken for
granted in the Council, that Turkey would
be governed by this advice and, in that
event, the French Government is determin-
cd to act with vigor, unless Russia con-
ccdcs."

THE GRAND JURY.

que stion Of quite novel character has just been
raised at ST Louis and though It's author has carried
the DAY on small subordinate point we are sure lie
will be beaten on the chief one The question concerns
the utility and constutcDaIty of the institution OF the
Grand jury such as it exists in this country That In
stitution is assailed by Mr.. HENRY BERNSTEIN, the
Editor of the An:irger des HesteHs He contends that
il is secret irresponsible. inquistoral tribunal be-
fore which any citizen can be denounced by the malice
of an enemy without knowing it and bis case be de-
cided without his being allowed 10 confront the Wit
nessss or bring cotrtervaiEg testimony Accordingly
il is an anti republican and unconstitutional apPendage
of the courts Of Justice adapted 10 break down not TO
maintain the liberty of the citizen which ought as our
contemporary holds 10 be put out OF existence neont
nently
With such an opinion OF this institution fresh IN his
mind and on his PEN Mr. Bernstein received invita-
,on to appear before the Grand jury of - Louis with
which he complied Here he was requested to put
himself under cath or Affirmation 10 the effect that he
would truly answer the questions which might be put
10 him This be positively refused to do. In any par
tcusr case Cd crime that might be under examination
he was ready 10 testify, and would swear TO testify
truly provided be were previously informed what the
case was; but farther than this he would not go II

required was only that in common use he still re
fused 10 take IT, not only from scruples Of conscience
but because il contrary the rights OF every eI
zen and beyond the constitutional prerogstves either
of the Grand Jury of any Magistrate Thus nothing
remained for this dscredited body but either 70 yield
TO is antagonist or TO go before the Courts and seek
,ndication fcE its authority in tie punishment Of the
reeussut Accordingly Mr.. BERNSTEIN was carried be-
fore Judge Colt and called OF to expain his strange
proceeding.
His explanation was shrewd and rather pquAnt.
