stones; but could sec through it, l could

such singing as ! never heard ON earth.
They were all singing the same words, but
could not tell what they were. As was
looking, God spoke to me; He asked me if

don't know how sweeily we looked. We
were jusl like two little flowers tucked in

When we came to the gate, an angel

4 SLIGHT MISTAKE.

The Portland (Maine) correspondent Of
the Boston Heold, in a recent letter; writes
as follows:
A little incident transpired in 4 family
circle up town, the other evening, that is too
good 10 keen, and shall be Conhded TO the
readers of the Herald The kitchen Of the
excellent family Of which ! speak is pre-
sided over by a good-looking domestic,
whom we vii! call Mary Ann, she rejoicing
in the attentive deYOtions Of amanly young
male servant, employed by neighboring
family, named John. Now, such were
Johns relations with the fairy Mary Ann
they were engaged Just like anybody's
folks-that he was in the habit OF entering
his ipamorata's domain without the for
malitv Of knocking. And be il known that
the lord Of the mansion had been absent
several days, and was expected home by the
evening train. On that evening the mis-
tress Of the house sat in her boudoir, pant
ing in expectation Of the coming other hus-
band Shortly she heard, or thought she
did, his familiar footstep at the side
door, (his usual place Of entry,) and
dashing down the stairs in the dark
ness she precipitated herself into his
arms. A loving, lingering kiss was I'M
printed upon the cheek Of the representa-
tive Of the sterner sex. He answered not,
but pressed her closer to his heaying
bosom How long this thing would have
gone on is not easy for rs to say, had not
an adjoining door been thrown open by the
pretty Mary Ann with light in her hand,
when what a sight was revealed to all three!
Mary saw her handsome mistress in the
arms Of her own lusiy lover, John; the
mistress saw. not her expected spouse, but
Mary AIMS Young man; and JOhn-well,
he was 80 dunfounded, lsupposing he was
hugging Mary Ann all the time that he
couldn't see anything. In the midst Of the
muddle the husband entered, and the
tdJleou rirdRt was completed He soon com
pretended the affair, however, and had
too much good sense to scold his wife for
her carelessness, or to keep so good a
Joke to himself but he never imagined 1t

WOMAN.

As the dove will clap its wings TO its side,
and cover and conceal the arrow that is
proving on its vitais, SO IL is the nature of
woman TO hide from the world the pangs of
wounded affection With her, the desire
of the heart has failed. She neglects all
the cheerful exercises that gladden. the
spirits, quickens the pulse, and send the
tide of life in healthful currents through
the veins Her rest is broken the sweet
refreshment OF sleep is poisoned 10y melan-
cholly dreams dry sonow drinks her
blood, until her feeble frame sinks under
the last external assailant Look for her
after a little while, and you find friendship
weeping over her untimely grave, and Won
derine that one who but late glowed with
ali the radience of health and beauty should
now be brough; down to darkness and the
worm. You will be told Of some wintry
chill. some slight indisposition, thnt laid
her low. but no Ons knows the mental mala-
Nv that previously Slapped her strength, and
made her SO easy prey 10 the spoiler

4 nArRIMoNIAL TRrcE

from the chicago Iimc-.
During the week ending Monday, the
oath inst, there was not a single applic1-
ton for divorce before any Of the courts in
this city. We chronicle this as one Of
the most remarkable things in the history
Of Chicago. Seven whole days-seYen
times twcnty-lour hours-aud during all
these hours nobody applying for di-
vorce
This fact has % meaning. What Is it,
Does it mean that there il a cessation in
the everlasting matrimonial battle? II
there be such a cessation, Is il a truce pre-
liminary % a permanent peace, or Is II
simply an occasion during which the
belligerents may remove their wounded
and bury their dead? Probably the lat
ter. To suppose the former would be
equivalent 10 a belief in the arrival Of the
millennium.
Whatever may be the cause of this ces-
sation in the everlasting battle raging
between the matrimonial he's and shes, Il
is 4 subject of qualification 10 sympathetic
and observant spectators. This battle has
been one Of The most persistent and de-
structive on record. It's victims are num-
bered by thousands Il has made Chicago
more celebrated than Waterloo OF Their
mopylsa. II is a struggle which has in
volved all faiths and all nationalities.
Britons, Cclts, Teutons-and especially
Teutons-Yankees, Gauls, everybody, have
fought as ue'er men fought to free them
selves from the CALLING yoke Of matrimony
1t is too much to hope that this truce Is
permanent. So long as the breasts Of men
are inspired by love Of liberty, just SC
long will rage this fierce combat. 1t i
| therefore no more than a breathingspell
at the conclusion Of which the belligerent:
will fall 700 again with redoubled fury
Soon will the air-metaphorically speaking
be distracted with the shrill war-cries o
the warning hosts, and soon again will the
daily bulletins be overrIn with lists Of the
slain. In view Of this, we can only say, a
Byron did not:
ION with the fray. Let wrath be unconfned-
No rest for them who in the combat meet
| and when both are victols and both are van
pushed, may they be permitted
TO chase the beaten foe with flying feet.

A HINT TO TOUCHY PEOPLE.

Il learned a good lesson when ! was
little girl, 4" says a lady lone frosty
morning l was looking out Of the window
into my fathers farm-yard, where stood
many COWS, oxen, and horses, waiting TO
drink. The cattle sl stood very s;ill and
meek, ill one Of the cows, in attempting
to turn round, happened to hit her next
ueighbor, whereupOn the neighbor kicked
and hit another. In FIVE minutes the whole
herd were kicking each other with great
fury. Ny mother laughed and said; See
what comes Of kicking when you are hit
Just 50, ! have seen one cross word set a
whole family by the ears, on a frosty morn
ing. AfterwHrd, if my brother or myself
were a little irritable, she would say:
Take care, my children; remember how
the fight in the farm-yard began. Never
return a kick for a HIT and you will save
yourselves a great deal Of trouble"
