An English Wife.

Our readers may think we have chosen sing
ular caption for this article and may ask them
selves the question, is an English wife any diff
ferent from othersY Well, we will proceed to
answer that question by saying that although
they become wives by the operation Of their own
wills, and in accordance with law, as women do
in other countries, yet after they have attained
to that condition they hold different position
under law than do wives in this country. For
instance, when a woman becomes a wife in this
country she is not presumed to have entirely
sunk her identity, and merged all her rights in
her husband; but she can still hold and convey
property, and if her husband refuses to contrib
ute to her support, she can work for herself and
cannot be compelled to supporthm
This - not the ease in England There ifs
woman marries, she merges hosself entirely in
her husband, and the rights she enjoys indepen-
dent of him are so limited to be svarcoly,
worth mentioning If heis too lazy to work. and
obtain means for her support, she cannot COM
pei him to do SO as long as he chooses to live
with her. If she leaves him and labors to sup
port herself and children, he can follow her and
take up his abode with her. and eat out her sub
stance. If she earns an amount of money, he
can collect it and squander it if he chooses, and
she has no redress, and cannot restrain him. If
she commits adultery the husband can at once
obtain divorce from her; but if he commits
adultery he may continue to live with her and
use her and use her money to support him, and
she only submit-the law grants her no re-
lief. She cannot flee away from him, as he has
a right to follow and take her wherever he can
find her, and no person may interpose to pre-
vent him. To all intents and purposes she is
mere chattel, quasi slave.
Recently came before q magistrate
where the husband was to lazy to work, and
who lived upon his wifes earnings, while she
was striving to support herself and six children.
Not only did he live on her earnings, but he car
ried the things out of the house and disposed of
her, but he virtually laughed at her, and when
sheasked if she was compelled to support the
lazy fellow, the magistrate told her that he did
not know as she was but that in law he had
right to live with her and all that she had be-
longed to him. This is the boasted equity of
English law. Who would choose to be an Eng
lish wife,

The Valley of Death in Java.

The destructive agency of carbonic acid gas
on animal life is well exemplifed in certain pla-
ces where large quantities are evolved from the
earth. The most striking instance, however, is
the celebrated valley of Java, which, if an ami
NAL enters he never leaves. The following in
teresting account is given by an eye witness:
We took with us two dogs and some fowls to
try experiments in this prisoners hollow. On
arriving at the foot of the mountain we dis
mounted and scrambled up the side about a
quarter of mile, holding on by the branches of
the trees. When within few yards of the val
ley we experienced a strong nauseous, suffoca-
ting smell, but on coming close to the edge this
disagreeable odor left us The valley appeared
to be about half mile in circumference; the
de[----..-- % T5S5o feet, ana Tie whole covered
with skeletons Of human beings, tigers, pigs,
deers, peacocks and all sorts of birds. We
could not perceive any vapor or opening in the
ground which last appeared to us of hard
sandy substance.
1t was now proposed by one ofthe party to en-
ter the valley, but at the spot where we were
this was difficult, at least for me, as false
step would have brought us to eternity See
ing no assistance of a bamboo, we went down
within 18 feet of the bottom. Here we did not
experience any difficulty in breathing, but an
offensive, nauseOus smell annoyed us. We now
fastened dog to the end of bamboo, 18 feet
long, and sent him. We had our watches in our
hands, and in IA seconds he fell on his back; he
did not move his limbs or look round, but con
tinued to breathe few minutes. We then sent
another, or rather he got loose and walked in to
where the other dog was lying. He then stood
quite STILL and in 10 seconds fell his face and
never afterwards moved his limbs; he continued
to breathe minutes We now tried fowl
which died in minnie and a half We threw in
another, which died before reaching the ground
During these experiments we experienced a
heavy shower of rain, but were so interested by
the awful sight before us we did not care for
getting wet. On the opposite side near large
stone, was the skeleton of human being, who

without the Children.

o, the weary solemn silence
OF house without the children,
0, the strange oppressive silence,
Where the children come no more
All the longing of the sleepless
For the soft arms of the children,
All the longing for the faces,
Peeping through the opening door
Faces gone forever more
Strange it is to wake at midnight
And not hear the children breathing,
Nothing but the old clock ticking,
Ticking, ticking by the door.
Strange to see the little dresses
Hanging up there all the morning;
And the gaiters-ah their patter,
We will hear it never more
On our mirth forsaken floor.
What is home without the children?
Tis the earth without its verdure,
And the skv without ito sunshine
life is witherOd to the core
So we'll leave this dreary dresert,
And we'llfollow the good Shepherd
To the sreener pastures vernal.
Unere the lambs have "gone before"
With the Shepherd evermore.
