Young Ladies, Read.

Rev Mr.. Smyth, the Ohio State
School Commissioner, in a recent ad-
dress before a young ladies' seminary
In Cleveland, said:
The costly and gorgeous plumage
which our modern birds of paradise
have assumed for the purpose of attract
ing admiration, frighten ali wise and
prudent men from the idea, of attempt
ing to cage them. They justly Judge
that the almost daily molting of birds,
OF this feather, and the as frequent re-
plumlng, together with the suspicioA
that for all good purposes they would
prove of less value than either of the
two sparroNs which are sold for far
thing" are facts which do not harmon
ize with the weight of their purses.

of the legions of divorces, which are
becoming the shame Of our land, como

wife, while her husband is toiling at his
business, finds home too quiet for one
who discards home duties; and who.
has not mind and culture sufficient to
appreciate books, paintings, and music
She must array herself in dazzling at

opera with the first dandy or rogue who

A Strange but True Story.

For long time we have heard nothing
stranger than the story we are about to re
late. When Thos. Galloway was "a years
OF age he married lady of about the same
age, IN village way down in the State o
Vermont. This lady had daughter BY
the name of Mary by her first husband
who, at the time Of her second marriage
was two years of age Just one year af
ter Galloway's marriage, his wife died.
Little Mary was sent to live with family by
the name of Plunkett, in neighboring vii
lage, and Galloway left upon whaling cx-
pedltlon. He cruised and wandered from
place to place, and finally settled in Dear
born county, Indiana, twenty years having
elapsed since the death of his wife. He
afterwards thought of visiting his>old Yer
mont home, but he had heard from. good
report that his only brother John, had ief,
the place soon after he had taken his de-
parture, and that little Mary had grown up
to Womanhood, married, and emigrated, he
could not ascertain where. Having no
other ties of affection to draw him to the
place, ne scarcely ever gave it q passing
thought.
Shortly after settling in his new Indiana
home, he became acquainted with young
widow, and Notwithstanding the disparity
IN their ages, married her. Some three
weeks after his marriage, he discovered by
MS wlfe's account OF her early life, thatshe
was no other than his own step-child Mary
| She had married FIVE years before, and her
husband, James Lacklan, met with vic,
lent death in clearing two years afterwards
About three years after Galloway's Sc
cond marriage, he happened one day to be
IN ,Lawrenceburg, on the Ohio river, six
miles from his residence, when a man by
the name of Galloway was drowned off a
steamer at the wharf The body was re-
covered in Galloway's presence, and from
the appearance Of the features and cores
pondlng name, he began to entertain a
vague idea that it might be his only broth
en- John. Information gained from the
captain OF the boat strengthened the sus-
plclon he had formed, and ascertaining that
the unfortunate man had family in this
vicinity, and at the time of his death was
on his way to the West to enter land
Galloway resolved to return with the Cap
tam and find out the truth. He did so
and found his suspicion correct. His broth.

OF children, for the most part girls, and 3

his deceased brothers wife, he concluded
to take charge of the farm. Accordingly

a Rainbow at Night.

A friend writes US Of singular phenom-
enon which was seen a few evenings ago,
in this county about 40 miles from Will
mington, between the hours of 8 and 8
o'clock.
There had been thunder storm in the
afternoon which ended in showery rain
It was light in the East and the moon arose
dimly, but still bright enough to reflect a
perfect rainbow in the Western sky; the
arch was not quite as large as when seen
by the light Of day, and the primitive col
ors not SO plainly discernable, but the bow
was perfect in its formation and seen by
the fair pale light Of the rising moon, the
effect was both beautiful and singular. On
one side, through it's mists, the bow OF
promise cleaned its colors, gloriously
bright in the sunlight, were now blended
by the paler luminary of night, into one
broad arch of silvery mist. In the East
the moon arose in clouded majesty, shaking
the rain-drops to the West and tinting th,
fields of grain, and the far reaching fores
with her evening glory; and not conten
with that, she stretched forth her ligh
from the East unto the West, and penciIe
with unerring hand the symbol of God
promise to mankind, upon the misty, ives
tern sky. The bow lasted for perhaps
half hour, then faded gradually away
Next morning the sun arose brilliantly ~

had been out in Indiana on visit, and
while there l found kitten, which l
brought home for plaything for my two
children. To prevent any dispute about
the ownership of puss, l proposed and it
was agreed, that the head of the kitten
should be mine, that the body should be
the baby's and Eddie, the oldest, but only
three years old, should be the sole proPrie-
tor of the long and beautiful tail. Eddie
rather objected at first to this division, as
putting him off with an extremely small
portion of the animal, but soon became re
conciled to the provision and quite proud
of his ownership in the graceful terminus
of the kitten One day, soon after heard
the poor puss making dreadful meWIng'
