A Married Mans soliloquy.
BY ONE WHO KNOWS.

Blast the women They are always frettine
about something or other Yesterday the coal

Only let her get the upper hand anu she IL drive
like bazes But won't be driyenl Not I
If she wants the door fixed or wood dried. or the
wter brought or leech set, or tubs hooped, she
may do 1t herself l-Confound it l can't go
into the house but something is wanting If it
isn't one thing it is another II leave nv
boots in the parlor every night if have mind
and she may help herselfl See if | don't -
Wen see who will be master. Before we were
married, she was-'If you please my dear2-but
cracky if her tone hasn't changed She shall
and shan't, from weeks end to weeks end, and
If venture to put in word edgewise m shut
up by her internal clatter Talk about late
hours and extravaganza Wonder what she
calls late hours could stay once until broad
daylight, and she too if the party was agreeable
But now if | chance to tend the club once a
week, there is muss directly. And don't eY-
er think Of her Gracious me | wishI could
forget her for FIVE minutes, just to see how it
would seem. If young men only knew But
no If a man says word he is set down as a

It's worth a fortune to be compelled to hear the !
squalling brats night after nigh. Group or

way I'd shake the cholic out of EN- in a hurry |
But no, they must be dosed with pink and an
mis- and onions and the deuce only knows what, |
and trotted till their gizzards are fairly shaken |

Slocum can sit up, it won't hurt him ButI've |
done with it: won't that's a fact What's that /
you say? Mended my pants? And four new

she wouldn't do it. I'll give in, I'll own up

The Old House far Away.


The wild birds warble, the silvery rills
Sing cheerfully round the spot,
And the peaceful shades Of the purple hills
Fall dim on my mothers cot
It's windows are low, and its thatch Is low,
And its ancient walls are gray,
y, see love it! where'er | 90
The old house far away.
The little clock ticks on the parlor wall,
Recording the passing hours
And the pet geranium grows rank and tall
With its brilliant, scarlet flowers
And the old straw chair 80 cOzy and low.
Where mother sat knitting ali day;
o, see it love it where'er | gol
The old house far way.
Dear motherl how plainly see her now,
Reclining in that old arm chair, +,
With the sunset resting upon her brow,
That was once so smooth and fair;
With her crimped border, white as snow,
And her once dark hair now gray
o, see it! l love it where'e er / 20
In that old house far away.
Not all the treasures the world affords,
The riches of land or sea,
Nor all the wealth of earth's proud lords.
Can blot from my memory
The roof that sheltered each dear dear head.
And the humble floor of clay
Where the feet loved were wont to tread,
In the old house far away.

THE SPoYaE BcsNEss.-The sponge busines,
has become prominent department of industry
in the Cahama Islands. 1t is almost entirely the
growth of the last twenty years, and nets annu-
ally about $40, 900. The sponge is fshed and
raked from the sandy bottom of the ocean, at
the depth of twenty, forty, or sixty feet 1t be-
longs to very low order of animal life, organi-
zation being hardly detected. When first taken
from the water it is black, and becomes exceed.
ingly offensive from decomposition. 1t is SO
poisonous in this condition that it almost blis-
ters the flesh it happens to touch. The first pro-
cess is to bury it in the sand, where it remains
for two or three weeks, in which time the gela-
tinous animal matter is absorbed and destroyed
by the insects that swarm in the sand. After be-
ing cleansed, it is compressed and packed in
bales like cotton. The sponge has been applied
to variety of new purposes, and within the
past few years has quadrupled in value.

NOVEL MARRIAGE IN PENNSYLVANIA. The
Lancaster (Pa.) Express says that large crowd
of persons assembled in the reformed Mennonite
Church, in that city, Sunday morning last
to witness the marriage between two members
of the Mennonite persuasion. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. John Kohr, assisted by Rev.
Christian Wilmer. To those of the audience who
never witnessed wedding of members of this
denomination, the affair was novel and interest.
ing. The sermon was appropriate to the occa-
sion. The preacher read from the 9th verses of
the 9th chapter Of Matthew, and from the 22d
verse to the end Of the 9th chapter of Ephesians.
basing his remarks on these passages of Scrip-
ture. The whole discourse was devoted to the
duties Of candidates for matrimony to each 9TH
er, and their spiritual relations to Christ. the
head of the Church
At the conclusion of the regular exercises the
marriage rite was performed in front of the pull
pit The bridegroom was asked whether he be-
lieved this sister Of his faith was allotted bv
Christ to be his wife, and whether he was free
from all other women persons. Affirmative an
swers being given, similar questions were put to
the bride and answered. The usual questions
were put and answered, when the twain we're
pronounced man and wife. The manner of
bringing about marriages between the members
of this denomination differs from that of other
Christians, what is called occurring" is dohe bt
their preachers. the candidates for matrimonial
honors not being allowed to visit the object of
their affections. When a brother wishes to take
to himself one of the sisters as wife the fact is
communicated to the preacher who makes
known to the sister the feelings of this brother
and if no objections be made on her part the
bans are published in the church, and the we'd
ding takes place in due time.

THE SKY AN lNDIoATIoN OF THE WEATHER.-
The color of the sky at particular times affords
wonderful good guidance. Not only does a ro-
sy sunset presage good weather and ruddy sun
rise bad weather but there are other tints which
speak with equal clearness and accuracy A
bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind;
pale yellow wet; a neutral gray color consti-
tutes favorable sign in the evening and unfa-
vorable one in the morning. The clouds again
are full of meaning in themselves. If their
forms are soft, underlined, full, feathery, the
weather will be fine; if their edges are hard
sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally
speaking, any deep unusual hues betoken wind
or rain; while the more quiet and delicate tnts
bespeak fair weather. These are simple max
inns; and yet not so simple but what the British
Board of Trade has thought fit to publish them
for the use Of seafaring-men.

A PREACHER stopped short in a pulpit
discourse it was in vain that he scratched
his head-nothing would come out. My
friends" said he, as he walked quietly down
the pulpit stairs, pity you, for you have
lost fine discourse %
What a relief it would be to the congre-
cations if "divine interpositions" like the
above occurred more frequently. OF all the
men who believe themselves called 10 preach
nowadays, few seem to have any idea that
they are ever called to stop, and continue
to "spin OUT their discourses until their
hearers, in very exhaustion, lose all devout
feelings that may have been inspired by the
day or any of its ceremonies, and finally,
when the end does come, leave the house
more with the feelings of prisoners set free
than Of christian worshipers.
