A MoDEL RAnRoAD.-The Parisians have
new amusement in the railroad to the Bos
do Boulogne, which has just been inaugura-
ted The road girdlcs the city there are five
intermediate stations. each a mile apart the
whole distance is about seven miles. An
American who has travelled on it says
There are electric clocks at every point
of the route. and the arrivals. meetings ard
departures are exact. within q quarter Of a
minute. There is a train each way. from Z
O'Clock in the morning to 10 at night. every
twenty minutes; the whole time Of the pas.
sage Is eighteen minutes. and the fare eight
sous. A trip out and back upon this road
will set any American to thnking Such
soldity of construction, such regularity Of
service, snch infaIlibiity in time, such GER
tainty of safety. such ingenuity Of arrange
ment. and such symmetry of architecture,
will be forever hopeless at home. The sta
tions are elegant structures. built of stone
and resembling an artists country seat The
floors Of the waiting rooms are laid in oak
mosaic. the balustrades of the stairways are
solid brass wrought up to marvellous polish !;
the landings that edge the stopping places
are paved with asphalte, like the sidewalks
of the Boulevards
1t is added that the company offered the
line to the public. as the most perfect cxem-
placation of railroad organization in France,
and the result is regarded as in accordance
with the promises given and the efforts made.

EARLY MARRIAGEs.-I am great advo-
cate Of early marriages. There is no check
like matrimony for the erring propensities Of
young manhood. Few live to what are call
ed years Of discretion without losing one Of
their parents; sisters wed, and get new house,
holds Of their own, and the 6rst home is lost.
Then usually comes the choice between the
devil and the angel
IF he prefer the latter. be viii generally
ind her in the guise Of the gentle wife.
/ believe half the worthlessness and idle
ness Of bachelorism are products Of inierfer-
ence and prevention Of carly marriages.
An early marriage is not necessarily an
imprudent one, any more than the graybeard 5
last wedlock is a wise one.
The divine instincts Of youth will guide US
more correctly in the choice Of a companion
than our world-wisdom, what we, in our cor
ruption. call maturer judgments. Neither are
parental aud guardian terrots always well
founded.
A young man is objected to because he is
poor because he is quick. careless of opin-
ion. inclined to defy harsh judgments-a dis
position which prudent old maids call reck-
lessness and which is as natural to generous
youth, as scandal is to prudent old ladies'
A young man, without positively fixed vi
ces. who has these three qualities.-generos-
ity Of feeling, affection and honor,--may be
safely entrusted with the welfare of the wo-
man he loves; my word for it, he viii secure
it more certainly than he who buys wife for
two carriage horses, sofa at the opera, and
an entrance into Mrs. Fungus act

A SCENE IN THE SAxcruARY.- Trinity
Church presented somewhat UNUSUAL scene
on Sunday afternoon last. A great many
German and Irish emigrants = the most Of
them said TO have just arrived from one of the
ships stranded on the coast came into the
aisle en naSSe The most Of them we're cloth

women with caps on, and some without the
men in jackets and trousers Of coarse blue
frieze. while the children booked so sunburnt
and weather-beaten, and altogether in so sorry
a plight as TO excite ones cOmmisseration
The group halted Immediately under the or
gan-gallery, while some Of them proceeded
up The middle aisle in the direction Of the
chancel. and. though not joining in the ex-
ternal services Of the sanctuary, it needed
but little discernment TO discover that the
motives which brought them together under
that sacred roof was q devotional one, not
the qualification of an idle curiosity. And
when the rich fall tones Of the choir breathed
forth the solemn. Deus miSereatur .here
was an indescribable something in their faces
which seemed to show that among all that
throng Of worshippers there we're none more
sincerely than they responding in their hearts,
God be mereiful unto US, and bless us. and
show us the light Of his countenance The
perils through which these strangers, with
their little ones had but just providentially es-

Judge Harris inquired Of defence whether they
intended to present these questions to the ma
Termner or the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Beach, counsel for the defence, informed the
Court that there discrepancy existing between
counsel to the proper course to pursue but that
the motion-if suspension was afowed-would be
made at the earliest opportunity to such court as had
power to grant a new trial. He again argued. and
gave in support of such argument, cases where SINH
lar objections had been allowed by the court as fatal
to the prosecution.
Judge Harris then proceeded to say that the
Court would yield to the request of the defence and
stated that he would not intimate any opinion of his
own, although he was free to admit he had one. II
was In accordance with the spirit of the law which
