SIlnkesneare,s Marriage.

At the time of this event, Shakespeare
was eighteen years ofngo, whilst Ann Hath
way, his bride, was mature maiden OF
twenty But if it be true, as Lord
Bacon says that a man finds himself seven
years older the day after his marriage, this
sudden maturity would nearly equnlize the
matter and keep the balance true. An old
writer describes her rs 80 tall handsome
girl with ruby lips" and it was on these
coral reefs that the boy poet is supposed to
have made shipwreck. The speech of Her
mia's lover, Lysander, has often been quot
ed to prove the infelicity of his welded life;
because one of the reasons given why "the
course of true love never did run smooth, ="
is that il is ''misgraffed in respect ofyears.
In Twelfth Night" also, this same point
viz: disparity of years, is pressed again
with nm earnestness that seems to spring
from bitter personal experience. / refer to
the beautiful scene where Viola, disguised
rs page, enters into conversation with the
Duke, of whom she is enamored, and re-
ceives from him this general advice;
"Iet ftill the woman tako
An elder than herself; SO wears she to him;
so sways she level In her husbands heart"
And to the man he says:
'"rhen let thy love bo younger than thyself,
Or thy affection may not hold the bent"
As convincing proof that Shakesp peare's af
fection did not "hold the bent, we are told
how he settled in London and left his wife
in Stratford, visiting her only once year
One biographer iLsinuates that ho never
sent her n penny of his earnings, "a clear
case ofunremittitg Ioye) but spent them
in the delights and dissipations of metro
politan life. In his last will and testament
he leaves no word of love for his wife, and
bequeaths to her only his 'second best
bed" The sonnets, too, which nre the
truest records and very issues of his life
indicate that there was some coldness and
estrangement between them, and speak also
of tho "disgraces' and 'blots" that clung
to him as the results of his cold offencesoi
affections.
Various anecdotes are told of him in this
connection. One story, related by the gar
rulous Aubrey is to tho effect that Shake
speare, on his journeys to and from Lon
don, used to put up at the Crown Inn at
Oxford The inDkeepeT, John Davonant,
and his wife, wero very fond of him, and he
stood godfather TO their son William. The
wicked world limited that there was some
thing more than friendship between the
poet and the witty and beautiful Mrs. Da-
venant. One day, as William was running
home in haste, some one asked him why he
ran so. He replied that he wished to see
hisgodhther who had justarrived. "You're
good boy" retOrted hisinterrogator, "but
You ought not to take the nHmo of God in
vain. ."--Prof H. p. EUanS, IN Western
Monthly for August.

A Curious Court ScENE.--The Chinese
papers report curious and touching scene
which lately occurred in the Shanghai
mixed courts. A dissoluto prodgal, having
q chain round his neck 10 which his hands
were fast, was brought up by his father.
The parent, n very respectable looking man,
declared he could mako nothing of the
prisoner He had tried all means TO cure
him Of his propensity for smoking opium,
but without effect. If no gave him money,
ii went in opium; clothes wero ut once
pawned to satisfy his cravings. Latterly
no had been chained up in house to sec
what effect that would have; but his ap-
pearance on that occasion was because he
had broken out, and had been picked up
by policeman. In fact, tho father de-
clared that ho would be glad il the court
would take him in hand and give him n
severe punishment. The Judge advised
him 10 give his son another trial, and add
cd that il after ono punishment no was in
corrigible, Chinese law would permit de-
capitation on tho consent Of the father.

"Gen. Grant and his family are said to

by the national treasury. BY what right
does the president convert it into pleas
ure yacht for the use of himself and rela-
tions? Is there any law in the United
States which authorizes him to take apublic
steamer and employ it as o means OF his
personal amusement And how does Sec
retary Robeson dare to prevert his official
power by ordering the Tallapoosa on such
an expedition? Gen. Grant is paid large
salary, and besides he has been enrichedby
donations. If he wants to go to Long
Branch in steamboat let him hire one
and pay for it, out of his own pocket, like

RAPID GROWTH OF WESTERN Towns. An
Iowa paper says: "To illustrate how towns
spring up in Iowa, we give an example
Last fourth Of July the town of Dexter,
near our state capital, did not exist. Not
house could be found on the spot to be
named 'city. Even the crossroads black.
smith shop was not there, and the tavern
was in the mystic future This year the
editor Of tho State Register went TO Doxtol
to attend fourth of July celebration. He
found about one hundred and fifty houses
there, many of them substantial buildings,
with stores that had already sold goods to
the amount Of two hundred thousand dol
lars. What is more, just outside of the
village, double the amount of improve
ment is going on. The town of Perry, on
the Des Moincs Valley Railroad, had last
March three houses in it. Now there are
6fty.fiye houses and nearly three hundred
inhabitants, and yet tho railroad only
reached there last week.
