ScuAMIL.-The London Nescs speaks as fol-
lows OF the above named Circassian chief, who
for twenty years has defended his country
against the attacks of Russia, in continued
war:
abandoned to his own resources Schamyl
has for twenty years, successfully combatted the
most renowned Russian generals. He
born in 1897. His beard became grayish at
early age but his hair is light, and his constitu
tion, though apparently weak, has been SO well
preserved and exercised, that he possesses al
most the advantages of youth He is the first
horseman, the first marksman, the first SWIM
mer OF the Caucasus, though in that country
able horsemen, swimmers and marksmen
abound. He is not only an excellent general,
but most able administrator. Since 1884,
when he succeeded Chassi Mollah who died at
his side at the breach OF Himry, in engage
ment with the Russians, not single act OF
weakness can be alleged against him. Sober,
chaste, comparatively enlightened he has never
employed the power with which he is invested
for the satisfaction of his personal passions. OF
one hundred and fifty tribes different by ori-
gin, traditions, and TO a certain degree by Ian
guage, he has formed people ready TO die tor
their faith and their country.

MATRIMONIAL HAPPINEss.-Zchocke In one
of his tales. gives the following advice to a
bride:-" In the first solitary hour after the GER
emony, take the bridegroom and demand a sol
emn of him, and give him vow in return.
Promise each other sacredy, never, not in jest,
to wrangle with each other; never to handy
words or indulge in the least ill-humor Never,
| say never. Wrangling in jest and putting on
an air of i'll humor merely to tease, becomes
earnest by practice. Mark that Next prom
ise each ether, sincerely and solemnly, never to
keep secret from each other, under whatever
pretext, with whatever excuse it might be-
You must continually and every moment see
clearly into each others bosom. Even when
one OF you has committed fault wait not an
instant, bat confess 1t freely-let it cost tears,
but confess it. And as you keep nothing secret
from each other, SO. on the contrary, preserve
the priyaeies of your house, marriage state, and
heart from father, mother, sister, brother, and
all the world You two, with God help, build
your own quiet world: every third sr fourth
one whom you draw into it with you will form
party, and stand between you two That
should never be. Promise this to each other.
Remember the vow at each temptation You
will find your account in it. Your souls will
grow, as il were, to each other, and al last will
become as one. Ah! if many young pair had,
on their wedding day, known this secret, how
many marriage were happier than, alas. they
