REPENTANCE AT LEISURE The Chi
cago Tribune says that at picture gallery
in Kenosha, Wisconsin,, the subject of
marriage was sportively discussed by n
party of young ladies and gentlemen gath.
cred there. Among the gentlemen was a
lieutenant of an Illinois cavalry regiment
(the 19th,) and among the ladies was a
Miss NJ, daughter of one of the old
est settlers. They proposed to get mar.
ried, to see how it would seem. Just then
a magistrate came in. Shoulder-straps
asked the squire if he would marry him.
He said yes, if he could tnd any lady to
have him. Miss NJ jumped up and
said she would have him. The justice iu-
structed them to stand up and take hold
Of hanls. The usual questions were ask
cd and answered, and in five minutes they
were man aud wife.
Then came the serious part of the joke.
When the new-made bride found sue was
really bride her laugh turned to tears.
Her lawful husband wished her to 20 to
his hotel with him, but she fed to her
own home. Her parents, nearly distract
ed, appealed to the justice to undo what
he had done; but were informed that
the statutes of Wisconsin gave him no au,
thority to separate man and wife. Night
came on. The bride was kept at home
and the husband forbidden to enter the
house. He is determined to have his
lawful wife. She aud her whole family
are in great distress. Thus matters stand
ut the present moment.

From The Montreal Gazette.
CHRISTMAS EVE, 1854.

ShoAoAHAo AVE. AooHs
A happy silence holds the air,
The very hrc' Us now are still,
And rest rrigus sJs reign every where
On lowly ,ia and towering hill.
The dark green pines rise lrcrmily
Up 10 the heavens, and below
The tender little iowrels lie
In peace beneath the untrodden snow.
The river ceases from his toll,
The cataract from the mountain wall
Sees his vrxrd waves no longer boil,
And, claimed 10 slrep, iuracis TO fall.
The tirs thai in the summer time
Walked with their melody the hours,
Hive sought in some ftr-disnnt cline
For other loves and other flowers.
M voice shake the deep set pine
That roarcd through the long summer day,
Ann, cuseed round the barn, the kline
Lie hhsklng in tn wintrv ray
n" sound save where the swcrr church bells
Bid Aearv man fon turmoil cease
To hear tn" welcome voice that tells
To troubled hearts Of love and peace.
On such calm and peaceful night,
70 watching Shepherds wakeful ewes,
The Heavens were opened and II light
Lit grhnhlr up the astonished skies,
Aud awe on every gazer's soul
Fell with great trembling, and a dread
As when the hoirse voiced thun.ters roll
Their crashing clamors overhead.
And suddenly the Heavens tecmed
With Cheruhim and Serdphim.
And where the wOndr0us meteor CLEANED,
Rang the Angelic Christmas hymn:
"Glory 10 Him who reignS above"
Twas thus the loving me ssngc ran,
eve ing glad news of joy anl love,
Peace upon earth-good will 10 man."
r Oh blessed words! through many year
Their sounds have fingered in the sky,
The stout To aid, the weak to cheer,
The weeping mourner's tear to dry;
But like sweet music in the mir,
That throbs awhile and then is still,
They die in heaven-min everywhere
On earth torgets toward man good will.
Oh, that tie bells this night might speak,
With Heavens own voice, amid the lar
And shouts Of those who nndly seek
A bloody pe,ce from bloody war:
That on the happy Christmas morn,
The angels might not quail to see
Our world with strife and battle torn,
And Hatred reign where Love should be

Horrible Tragedy in Turkey.

A horrible tragedy is reported in
Constantiuople letter of the 18th. The
/ following are the particulars as thus re-
ported Djemila Sultaua, the third daugh-
ter of the late Sultan, now in her twenty
second year, was married to Mahmoud Jel.
ladin Pasha. The position of subj ect
upon whom the Sultan confers the hand
of one of his daughters is anything but an
enviable one, as the princesses treat the
unhappy husband much in the same way
as.they do their slaves or rather worse, for
the latter have not the misery of appear
ing i'll false position. Il is well-known
that the husband of the daughters of the
late Standardization, Rama, Djemila-
have led the most wretohed of lives from
the arb,tariness aud jealousy of their wives.
The tragedy which occurred On the 18th
Instant arose from this cause The Sui
tana Djnmiln, from causes well or i'll found
ed, becamc jealous Ut one Of her slaves,
whom she imagined was regarded with
some favor by her husband in her high
ness rage against the unfortunate girl she
ordered one of her euuuchs to cut her head
off, which was done ut stroke of his
ciineter. Tnen she determined to extend
her revenge to her husband, and coolly di-
rectel that the girls head should be placed
nnicr cover OH the Pasha dinner-tabl,.
1t is the custom in Turkey for the male
heads Of families to due apart from their
women. On the day in question the Sui.
tama seated herself on the divan-l long
sofa extending across the room-previpus
% her husbands entering the dining room.
On his arrival, AS is customary, he went
up to his Imperial sp 'use and rendered
her the usual homage. She requested
him to proceed with his dinner When
seated, he called IN the servants present
to remove the cover which is thrown over
the tray which forms the top of the table;
to his surprise they hestated, and shrank
back The Sultana then called to him to
remove it himself, upbraiding the servants
for their conduct. The unhappy Pasba
obcyiug his wife's directions, threw off the
cnver, and then before him lay the CORY
head IF the murdered girl. He reeled
aud fell back corpse. Previous to ia
king eff the c,ver he had drank .herbet,
aud whether this was poisoned. as some
imagine, Or that the shock produced apo.
plexy, has not been ascertained, as no post
norton examination has been held. 1t
will, of course, be thought that the impe,
rial murderess was at once seized and
placed in the hands of justice. On the
contrary, Djenlila Sultano, IL princess of
the imp rial family, daughter of Sultan
Abdul NJ did, aud niece of the reiguins
Sultan, has up to the present moment re-
manned in her house unmolcsted, and the
only notice taken of the matter has been
that her imperial uncle is very angry with
her.

~ NEW YORK, July 70.
The market exhibits diminished ac-
tiYity but greater firmness in prices.
The prolonged high premium on gold
induces holders of goods to ask extreme
prices, which has Ind the effect of de
minishing the demand. Prints appear
the most active, though prices have
again advanced. All the leading styles
are sold up to order. Bleached shirt
ingS and sheetingS have advanced 2 3
cents, the market being bare of desiraT
BILE makes. Brown goods are not so
active, but are firm in price, as stock
does not accumulate. Drills are steady
with better supply. Cotton ,tlannels
have advanced 3 cents, with small
stock and good demand. Stripes are
more active and higher in price. Ticks
are firm, with a limited supply. Dem
inns IRE without change. Ginghams
have advanced / to i y cent. In de-
LANES there has been considerable bus
tie, and the stock has been sold down to
a low amount. Shawls are offering from
NIL our manufacturers, and attract much
attention. The assortment Is large and
much varied. Broadcloths are quiet,
but firm. In fancy cassimeres there is
much doing. Desirable styles sell
quickly on arrival. Fine satinets are
active, but mediums are dull-prices
steady. FlannelS continue brisk and
grim. There is greater movement in
foreign-made fabrics. New desirable
goods IRE quickly sold. The sale of
British dress goods is very large. Buy
ers are anxious to get an early choice
of new goods. Stocks are light relative
to the demand. Black nlpacas, coburgsy
and Italian cloths are very brisk.
Prints are dull. Silks are scarce and
high. WOolens are very active, doe
skins and black cloths especially, and
cloalSing. Clothiers are in the market
for beavers and Moscows. The import
ations continue to increase, and at pre-
sent are not too large; and prices are
remunerative.

Free Trade and the Iron business.
: There are some people who still talk
about free trade, just as they did in the
days before the war. They apparently
never stop to ask themselves where the
taxes are to come from to pay theinter-
est on our National debt ifyou DESTROY
the mixed industries of the country,
and remit the people nll to raising low
priced grain to feed the workmen of
foreign manufactures. People who
talk about free trade, or even a low tariff
should read N statement recently made
by Capt. Ward, President of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Association, Mt n
convention in Cleveland. Capt, Ward
said that many supposed the present
tariff on imports is ample for protection
as well MS for revenue, and that any eff
fort for its increase is, therefore, unnc-
cessnry. This mistake may be appre-
clated by learning that nine-tenths of
all the blast furnaces are idle; that most
of the rolling mills are working on half
| time or are idle; that the machine shops
are getting destitute of orders; that there

of Boston, Mass, have $4,000, 600 of

ported over 500, 0OO, 600 of coin during

rope now holds $500, OOO, 900 of national.
