MORE DISEASED CATTLE-City Inspector Morton
has during the last twelve months through his Health
Wardeps caused the seizure of at least 300 dead dis
eatod oxen, and other animals, which mad it not
been for his vigilance would have been on sale in the
mmkes and stails. Yesterday, large number Of
cattle arrived board the Western World from Alba
ny designed for city coDsuu p)n IN the form Of beef
Many Of them were in a feeble aud diseased condition
The street leading to the droyeyard Of Forty
sixth street and Fifth was literally bl0ckGded
with disabled oxen in dying condition. Six Of these
animals died during the morning, and were nmed.-
atcy sent out Of the city limits by Mr. Morton's
officers. The balance, during the afternoon and night
were removed, it is said, by butchers who do a re-
spectacle business in the city. Il j. reported that
these cattle had been fed poisoned whisky slop.
or swi and that the disease was not unlike that
which afflicted many swine in the great hog mart
Cincinnati reveral months since.
Unfortunately, these diseased cattle are now doubt
less on ,aie IN the market. aud tails Had the city
ordinances permitted the Health Ohccrs to seize upon
the animal, mten altre large number Of the drove
would have been sent to Barren Iiland, the common

Kissing,

A sprightly,, amusing American
respondent in Paris, thus describes
the rage of kissing in LA Belle
France :"
The almost universal custom of
kissing in Paris seems at first very
singular to stranger coming from a
country where the propriOties Of life
rarely permit you to take lady's
hAnd--much less to.Salute her. In
France, to kiss a'lady with whom you
are not at a III intimate, on meeting
hor, iS very common; especially i.
this the case il she be a married lady.
Not only the members of the family,
but all the 'ussts, expect invariably
10 salute the lady OF the house on
coming down in the morning. BIT
though the modest American may,
perhaps, escape the ceremony on or
dinary occasions, yet on New Years
day it ia imperative. On that morn
ing ! came down to my coffee about
nine o'clock. | sat down quietly,
bidding madam bon jour, as ON ordi-
nary occasions, But was not to get
off 80 easily. In few moments she
was at. my elbow, with Mons. B., |

cd, Of course, a regret and ignorance
at having, given her offence,
"Ah," said she, "you know very
we'll the reason. II is because you
did not embrace mo when you came
down this morning"
Madame was lady of, perhaps,
twenty-eight, with jet black, glossy
hair, large lustrous black eyes and a
clear, fair complexion, She was very
beautiful; had she been plain should
have felt less embarrassed. She wait
cd, as though expecting me to atone
for my neglect; but how could l be-
fore the whole table? l. sat all this
time trembling in my seat. At length
Madame said: Mons. B. cmbraccs

tremblingly, put my white, bloodless
lips, all greasy with butter and wet
with coffee, (for in my embarrass

those Of Madame. This was my first
French kiss.
Wo expect after this that our young
ladies will popularize tho phrase "sm'

Young America Bent on Matrimony

Over Fourteen. The following
appears as q veritablc local item in
the Detroit Free Press!
A couple of young sprouts Of
American blood made their appear
ance yesterday before Justice Purdy,
and requested to be united in the ho-
ly bonds Of matlimony. The ap-
pearance of the applicants excited
some suspicion, as their ages, judging
from their looks, were about twelve
for the lady, and fourteen for the
gentleman. They set their years up
to the full mark, however, and claim
cd right to demand the performance
of the ceremony, the young man
twirling a ten spot around his finger
with much nonchalence, as q sort of
tacit inducement to the court to pro-
ceed without further useless ques-
tions. Upon the signided assent
with much alacrity, and they being
asked whether they were willing to
take their oaths that they were OF the
necessary ages, young lady holding
up her hand swore roundly that she
was "over fourteen" The same per-
tormance was about being demanded
of the young gentleman, when in
walked the parental ancestors of the
two young hopofu's, and a general
discohcertion Of their plans followed.
They were about being led off by the
ears to their mammas, when Justice
Purdy requested the young lady to
explain how she dared to take the
oath that she had just taken, and
which he knew must be false. Moth
ing disconnected, she stopped down
aud unlacing o little gaiter, drew out
a piece OF paper on which was writ
ten the word fourteen" On the
strength Of this she had sworn that
she was cover fourteen" That
young lady ought to have been made
q wife as soon as possible.

~ Mark only the Hours that
Shine"

The above, if we rightly remember,
is tho inscription upon sun dial in
Italy. 1t inculcates a beautiful les
son which we may be prone to diSre-
gard. 1t would teach us to remcm-
Der the bright days of life, and not to
forget the blessings God has given
us, Life, it is true is not all bright
and beautiful. But still it has its
shades, and it is neither wise or CRATE
iul to dwell too much upon the dark
or portions Of the picture. He who
looks upon tho bright side Of life,
and makes the Lest ofeverything, will,
We think, other things being equal,
be o better and happier man than
those who, as Franklin says, are al
ways looking at the ugly leg, and find
occasion for complaint and oensure
in almost everything they meet with.

No Gloom at Homo.


Above all things there should be
no gloom in the home. The shadows
OF dark discomfort and wasting fret
fulness should never cross the thresh-
old, throwing their large black shapes
like funeral pals, over the happy
young spirits gathered there. lfyou
will, your home shall be heaven, and
every inmate an angel there. If you
will, you shall sit on throne, and
bc the presiding houshold deity OF
faithful wife, what privileges, what
treasures, greater purer than thine !!
And lot the husband strive to for
get his cares as he winds around the
long narrow street and beholds the
soft light Illuminating his little par
lor, spreading its precious beams on
the red pave before it. The night is
cotu and cheerless perhaps, anu the
December gust battles with the worn
skirts OF his old overcoat, and snatch
es with a rude hand and wailing cry
at the rusty hal that has served him
many year. He has been harassed,
perplexed, prosecuted. He has borne
with many cruel tone, many cold
word, and ncrved himself up to an
energy so desperate that his frame
and spirits are weakened and de-
pressed; and how his limbs ache with
wearineSs his temples throb with
the painbeat caused by a too constant
application; he scarcely knows how
to meet his wife with pleas ant smile,
or sit down cheerfplly to their Ii tie
meal which she has provided with SO
much care.
But the door is opened, the over
coat thrown hastily off. a sweet
voice falls upon his ear, and the tones
are so soft and glad that hope, like q
winged angel, flies right into his bo'
som ard nestleS against his heart,
The latch is liitsd, and the smiling
face of his wife gives an earnest
welcome. The shining hair il
smoothed over her fair brow; indeed
she stole little coquettish glance al
the mirror hanging in its narrow
fame, just to see if she looked neaI
aud pretty before she came out. Hel
eyes beams with love, her dress is
observation-disclosures? Why! he for
gets all the trials of that long, long
day, as he folds her in his arms and
imprints a kiss upon her brow.

to rule herself and her household
