EngIlsh and American Customs.

The etiquette Of English houses
differs very slightly from that of Ameri-
can houses, About fifteen years ago
the American gentlemen began to adopt
the English style of dressing, and since
that time they have also adopted most Of
the English social customs. The
American ladies try to dress like the
French, and pride themselves on their
Partisan taste but this is a feminine
popularity everywhere, and the American
ladies are only exceptional in procuring
the French fashion so quickly. 1t re-
quires two seasons to introduce a new
mode de Paris into England a single
season sufices for the United States.
Take a recent example The "Grecian
bend" came out at Paris two years ago;
il was adopted in America last autumn
It is displayed in English shop windows,
but not yet upon English ladies, for the
first time this winter. The distance be-
tween Paris and London, in fashion as
in everything else, is about two years
But London sets the fashion for Ameri-
can gentleman. "The fellows who have
their clothes sent over from Poole's lead
the ton"
| can remember the time when all
Americans of any station were attired in
Hamlet's customary suit of solemn
blackjack cloth coats and trousers,
and black silk waistcoats, and black
beaver hats. This costume is still pre-
ferred by some politicians, who believe
that it gives them a semi-professional
air. But tweed suits and colored walk
and light trousers are now as
prevalent in New York as in London,
and-marvelous revolution the gen
tlemen now agree to dress for dinner, for
the opera, and, to some degree, for the
theater. The rough-and-readY Ameri-
can Of the past has now been banished,
with the bufaloes, to the far West, and
it is as unjust to infer that the typical
gentleman is n of the few
relics of bygone days that struggle in
from the prairies, as it would be to mis-
take for typical English gentlemen some
Of the rural squires we meet at the cat
lie show. The ceremony of dressing
for dinner implies a great deal-social
refinement, for instance, and cultivation,
md a respect for polite cOnventionalities.
twenty years ago Americans were
amazed at the ceremoniOusness Of Eng
ish society, and the rules of precedence,
md the terribly formal professions from
he drawing-rooms to the dining rooms
cut they have the anne ceremonies in
heir own houses now.-TiasLey's Maga-

Where WOmsR's Power Lies.

The true power Of woman is in the
resistless power Of the affections. In
asserting this, am | attempting to mask
the great questions Of our days with
glitbering generality Am I disposed to
deny any lawful claim which woman
may make for 4 more extensive recogni-
ton Of her rights, or a larger field for
her powers? No; l am not doing any
such thing. Let woman do whatever
her faculties can achieve-let her go
wherever her instincts demand-if she
truly follows her instincts, [ am sure she
will not 20 wrong. | am sure Of this,
also, that wherever man may lawfully
60, woman may lawfully 60. Wherever
woman ought not to be it is a shame for
a nan, il is a shame for humanity to be.
| merely insist upon this, that whatever
woman NAV accomplish IN the world,
with brain or hands, will draw its vital
efficacy, its talismanic virtue, from the
heart and that her strength in all these
various shapes Of action and Of influence,
in the root and essence, will be the
strength of the affections. The hiding
of wOman's power must ever be in the
feryor and steadfastness Of her love.
And her most triumphant characteristic
is love, eliminating in its highest ex-
pressi0n-that Of self-sacrifce. A
thoughtful writer has observed the
contrast between the sexes even in their
play. THE boy" he says, " gets to
gether wooden horse and a troop Of tin
soldiers and work for them. The girl
takes a doll and works for it" That is
a wOman's great pecuharity-the work

MARRIAGE.
should Persons With COnsumP-
tive Tendencies Marry!
BY DR.. HENRY 1. BowDITCH.

More than thirty years ago We were
consulted by 4 young man, who frankly
confessed that he believed he had dis
ease Of the lungs, and he asked US to
say whether or not he could rightly be
married to an excellent young person to
whom he had been for years engaged.
We found that his opinion was correct,
that decided disease of one lung existed,
but it was not at the time in an active
state. We found however, at the same
time, that an adverse opinion on our
part would forever shatter the hopes Of
two lovers, who had been for years de-
voted to one another. There was not
an argument save this local disease
which we could bring against the idea Of
marriage.
We viii not attempt to indicate the
reasoning whereby we came TO the de-
cision that we ought not, by any motion
Of our own, to prevent the union. Ten
or twelve years of sweetest married life
we're the result, and then the husband
died Of lung disease. But exactly what
the youth feared came to pass, namely,
one of his children died in very earliest
infancy, and the other at the age Of
twenty,-bOth of consumption. The
latter was particularly interesting to us.
He seemed to be in perfect health. On
arrival at an age to commence business,
all his antecedents and his hereditary
tendeneies were forgotten. Instead Of
avoiding al excitants to consumption, he
was allowed to settle on the borders Of
a lake in a large Western city, and there
to become a clerk to a corporation doing
an extensive business by which he was
very much confined to his desk and over
worked. As we have seen in the pre-
viOus paper, he should Of all things
have avoided Just such location and
that employment-he should have
sought for an active, out-of-d0Or life, if
possible, in some dry inland town
After be had been laboring at his desk,
however, a comparatively short time, we
were summoned only to find him past
all relief. In a few months he died with
consumption.
In the above case We deemed our
justified in allowing the marriage
10 be consUmmated, because, as may be
stated generally, were not sure that the
disease would progress, and there was 4
chance Of the husbands getting well and
was no certainty that children
would be born. But there are cases
every day arising in which it seems al
most madness-eases in which death
seems foreshadowed with the certainty Of
almost absolute fate. In many of such,
and physicians alike should pro
test.-AHdntic Monthly TOR March.

The Z. S. Consul at Moscow, Mr..
Eugene Schuyler, it is announced, has
discovered among the Russian archives,
a contemporary account of the oecurren-
ees at the death of Voltaire. The paper
was written by Prince Ivan Bariantin-
sky, the Russian Ambassador at Paris,
and transmitted TO the Empress Catharine
II. The writer says hat knowing the
great interest that the Empress took in
Voltaire, he had the account prepared
by a person who was well acquainted
with the details. This person, from in
ternal evidence, appears to have been
the physician in attendance. The ac-
count is very long, filling over three
columns of the Debates newspaper.
Yoltaire, it appears, rejected religious
consolation, and repulsed the clergyman,
exclaiming, Let me die in peace"
His last words were, "Take care of
Maria" meaning his niece, Madame
Denys. The body, after being en-
balmed, was carried to the abbey of
Cellieres, and when laid in the grave was
covered with two feet of quick lime.
The full account was published under
the supervision of Henry Taine, the
well known author of the history of
English Literature, to whom the dOcu-
ment was transmitted by Mr.. Schuyler.

How Deacon Smith COurted
the widow.

The Deacon's wagon stopped one
morning before widow Jones door, and
he gave the usual country sign, that he
wanted somebody in the house, by drop
ping the reins and sitting double, with
his elbows on his knees. Out tripped
the widow, lively as a cricket, with a
tremendous black ribbon on her snow
white cap. Good morning. was said
on both sides, and the widow waited for
what was further to be said.
Well, Madame Jones, perhaps you
don't want to sell one of your cows,
now, for nothing, any way do you ?'
" Well there, Mr.. Smith, you couldn't
have spoken my mind better. A poor
lone woman, ike me, does not know
what to do with so many creatures, L
should be glad to trade if we can fix
it,
So they adjourned to the meadow.
Deacon Smith looked at Roan-then at
the widow-at the Brindle-then at the
widow-at the Downing cow-then at
the widow again-and SO on through the
whole forty.
The same call was made every day
for a week, but the Deacon could not
decide which COW he wanted. At length,
on Saturday, when the widow Jones was
in a hurry to get through her baking for
Sunday, and had ever so much to do in
the house, as all farmers wives and
widows have on Saturday, she was a
little inpatient. Deacon Smith was as
irresistible as ever.
"Theatere Downing COW is pretty
fair creature, &" said he " but'-he stop
ped to glance at the widows face, and
then walked around her, not the widow,
but the COW.
THAT Downing COW L knew before
the late Mr.. Jones bought her" here
he sighed at the a~llusion to the late
Mr.. Jones she. sighed and they both
looked at each other. 1t was a highly
interesting moment.
And Roam IS a faithful old milch,
and so is Brindle, but l have known
better. A long stare succeeded his
Specialize pause was getting awkward
and Mrs. Jones broke out
" Lord, Mr.. Smith, if I'm the COW you
want, Go say So"
The intention Of the Deacon and the
was published next day.

forward with what we have. About as
much cotton viii be planted this as last
