A Cincinnati Ronanee.

A romantic affair in Cincinnati is no.
ticed by the Gazette, running in this wise:
Several years since young married cou-,
pie mutually agreed for various reasons,
70 separate. To accomplish this end the
Hends of both parties experienced greaE
YEA of trouble, and it was apparent to all
t Una! Se young couple loved each other
tSuue.ts A short time after the separa-
and and .as ysang man quietly left the city,
elanseS s the long years which have
Sare;I~ snce that time no one but his

husband No. returned to cS1.;n ,oo. -
quietly took lodgings at n-;ua.a Ss. ~
where there were no other bo sase nousss

parlor, for the purpose of INTRODUCING 49,
to her two guests, who were there aw ~

to introduce" Here it ended, and :
scene eusued which it would be difficult @
portray. On turning round, the lady gaxs
one shrek and fell to the floor. The had.
lady and husband No. q for q moment
could not understand the situation in wKieh
they were placed, but it is sufficient tosay
that the husband and wife, who many
years before had been separated, wafe
again together. A few moments ioals
were required to explain the matter, and
to convince husband Ne. q that his hsci.
mating young bride was a grass widow.
He threatened to leave her, and she rathe,
encouraged him in his threat. He did 90,
and they who were once separated are

A Plea for Domestic Service.

The November number Of the Atlantic

ney Corner" series, In which she urges
that domestic service is one of the easiest
emplOymen:s for woman who have to earn
their own living: cd. y,

that those which woman would be likely to

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr., Peter Martin, Of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building of this city in November last and
thus far It has given entire satisfaction. II
surpasses other furnaces IN the following
important 2psrticulars: 1t has compara-
lively, a greater heating surface; produces
alwEer volume of heat with a given amount
Of fuel; the condition Of the air in respect
<otemperature, moisture and purity, is su-
perior; the admission OF cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated
To avoid scorching and decomposhg the
sir, as Is done, to some extent, by other hot
airfnrnaces, and TO secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh afr, warmed
tqfpleassnt temp persture, as well as TO pro-
tectgcths wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects OF the fire, it Is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches In, diameter, This win insure the
influx Of such large and rapid eurrentoI
fresh sir as TO preyent the wrought-iron
Iiues nom being overheated, and thus secure
ther durabilIty of the furnace, and keep the
WARM airT In 4 healthful condition. II Is
deemed proper 10 State in this connection,
that our Board Of Education was Induced
to order Mr., Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used In
our schSool edifce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-,
tion az q, large number OF furnaces and,
othep ih6dss of warming school houses and
other public editices mot cpiy in Western,
