wife, accompanied by one of her daugh-
ters, accordingly forced open the door
when they found the husband and father
stone dead, and laid out in coffin! The
mother fell to the floor in swoon, and
the daughter ran terrified from the spot.
A speedy Investigation brought to light a
note on the shop bench, which stated that
the deceased had taken his own life by
swallowing prussic acid, and that the cof-
fin was the work of his own hands.
Trouble had rendered his life uncomfortable
and hence the rash act. Death must have

A DIvoRcE.--A correspondent of the
Volksfound,' writing from /" Indian Pra-
rie.' relates the following -" In Sullivan
county young married pair, who had
been united in the bonds of wedlock about
six years, having become somewhat mutu-
ally disagreeable Of late, the husband. in
his anger. FASTENED to a lawyer and took
steps to obtain divorce from his wife.
One day he came home to his wife and
said to her, " Betsey, have fulfilled your
wish; you said you wished you were sep
arated from me here is the decree of di-
vorce.' His wife was at first surprised.
but far too indignant to express any emo
ton She said she was ready to leave
she only needed to pack up her goods
she wished he would be present to see
that she took nothing except what was
her own. He stepped into the adjoining
room, where the bureau and clothes press
were. The wife proceeded in silence to
take out the clothes, when suddenly her
eyes fell upon small dress, and, quite
overcome she broke out in conyulsive
weeping. The husband, hitherto an in
different observer, remarked her emotion
and discovered the cause. 1t was the
dress of their only child, little daughter
OF three years who had. died almost three
years ago. The husband was not less af-
fected by the sight than his wife. He
embraced her with emotion, begged her
pardon again ard again, tore the decree of
divorce into thousand pieces, hastened
to the Clerks office, took out new mar
riage license, and was married immedi-
ly to his late wife,"

The NrwsrApER.-Ach child beginning
to read becomes delighted with newspapers,
because he reads of names and things which
are very familiar. and he will make q
progress accordingly. A newspaper in
one year, Is worth quarters schooling
to child, and every father must consider
that substantial information is conn scted
with this advancement. The mother of
family being one of it's heads, and hav-
ing more immediate charge of children,
should herself be instructed. A mind oc-
cupied becomes fortified against the ills
Of life, and is braced for any emergency.
Children amused by reading or study are.
Of cource, confederate and more easily
governed. How many thoughtless young
men have spent their earnings in tavern
or grog shop, who ought to have been
reading? ? How many parents who never
spent twenty dollars for books for their
families would gladly have given thou
sands TO reclaim son or daughter who
had ignorantly and thoughtlessly fallen
into temptation!

A REMARKABLE SUICIDE.-A Cleve-
land (Ohio) paper tells strange story to
the following effect:
A man whose name and residence is
suppressed out of delicacy toward his
family, became reduced in circumstances,
owing TO indorsing note for a brother,
who became bankrupt, and the misfortune
preyed upon his mind, and he became
gloomy and apparently threatened TO be-
come insane. About month since, his
family became aware that some myster-
ious task was claiming bis attention in a
tool and work-house near one of his barns.
To all inquiries as TO the nature of his
work he returned an evasive answer. but
kept steadily on. Sometimes he would
allow two or three days to pass without
visiting the shop; but during such times
he would be more than usually vacant and
cast down. One day last week he sud-
denly appeared before his family, dressed
with more than usual care and stated that
he intended paying business visit to his
brother-to be absent two or three days.
He would listen to no suggestions that
some of the family should accompany him,
and went away. Next morning curiosity

EXECUTIONS IN JAPAN.-A letter from
Jeddo (Japan) in the Abeik du Nord, con-
tains the following passage: Executions
are very frequent in Japan, and at Jeddo
scarcely day passes without one. Be-
heading and ripping open the abdomen
are the most usual punishments inflicted.
Not long since the murderer Of = prince
was boiled to death in large kettles. The
other modes of execution by which the
Japanese tribunals attempt to terrify GRIM
inals, are crucifxion, cutting open the
chest, breaking the limbs with an iron bar
exposing the criminals to the attacks Of
insects in hot weather after stripping him
naked and smearing his body with honey,
&c. These punishments. however, do not
diminish tie crimes on the contrary, they
seemed to have produced the most reckless
contempt Of death. The following incident
occurred not long since: A Japanese po-
iceman was walking along the middle
Of the street when European on borse-
back told him to stand aside, and, as the
order was not obeyed, struck him with a
whip. The Japanese rushed on the ag-
gressor, endorsed him, and drew his sword
TO kill him when neighboring shopkeep-
er exclaimed that it was the English con-
sui. The Japanese hesitated on hearing
this, and the foreigner meanwhile got
away. With his drawn sword in his hand,
the policeman Immediately went to his
nearest tribunal and stated his case to the
presiding judge. You drew your sword
TO avenge the affiont,' said the magistrate !;
that was right; but you did not kill your
enemy, and you know that an insult, if not
avenged by the blood of the offender,
must be avenged by that of the offended
The judge had hardly finished speaking
when the policeman ripped up his abdo-
men with his own hand and died on the
spot"

How RAIN FALLs.-Where does the
rain come from You answer, 8 From the
Clouds" But where do the clouds come
from You may think the wind blows
them over you. But if it blows clouds
over you from somewhere else, it also
blows them from over you to other places.
The fact is, the water of the clouds is just
as much over you on clear day as on
cloudy or rainy day. On fair day when
no clouds are seen, the water is divided up
into such small particles, that it does not
obstruct the suns light, SO you see no
clouds or water. A change of temperature
in the atmosphere, as VIXEN warmer and
colder current of air meet, causes the small
particles of water to unite in pairs, and
the pairs unite, and these quadruple drops
unite, and SO on until hundreds or thous-
ands of the small invisible particles unite
in one, and even then that one may be
many hundred times smaller than pins
mead. a mass OF these combined drops
which are still small enough TO float in the
air, refracts, or bend out of their course
so many of the suns rays tLat they stop
and often darken its light. 1t is thus that
clouds gather in clear sky. When
enough drops unite to make one 100 heavy
to float in the air, it begins 10 fall. 1t
meets and unites with many others in fall
ing, and often SO many uni'e that great
rain drops are formed by the time they
get to the ground. Each large drop is
made up of thousands, perhaps millions
of the small drops that float in the unseen
air in clear sky.-American Agricultr-

"You'd better keep silent tongue in

battles as we have" answered one of the
men; "a good soldier is always on his
guard"

he should know how to distinguish between
the cracking of branch and the ring Of

The rebel did not relish the noise made
by the loud shrill tones of the female
guide, and in order to put an end TO il he
controlled himself sufficiently not to reply
to her last remark. The party then con-
tinued on their way in silence-which was
not broken by either of them until they
had gone about three miles, and loud,
clear challenge suddenly startled the rebels.

We are betrayed! !" y'lled her compa-
mons; and even as the words passed their
lips they were surrounded by dozen
Union soldiers, one of whom carried

As the rays of light flashed upon the
hag, the rebels saw the grey hairs, the

ground, revealing the slight, but iron-like
frame of Union soldier in the prime of
life.
