4 Divorce Spoiled.

A Singular incident occurred at tho
Office of one of our attorneys, one
day last week. A couple who had
been married for sixteen or seven
teen years had wenried Of the mat
rimouiul harness, and the wife had
brought suit for divorce upon the
ground of cruel treatment The nf,
iidavits had all been made out I'm duo
form and fled In the court, and she
had called at the Office of her attor-
ney that day for the purpose of urg~
ing him To push the suit. While
seaued i'm the office her husband came
in. lie sat and looked at his wife
for q long time, and then said: "O;d
woman, we lived together for n long
time" The wife replied: Eyes, we
did" He said Don't yea think
we had better try II again. The
wife replied "Ies, IL you will treat
me right.n The old man rose up,
lifted his hands TO heaven, and with
"A voice tremulous with emotion re.
peated his vows to nourish, cherish,
love, honor aud protect until death
the bride of his youth, and then fold
ed her To his bosom. aud they wept
together for joy. Even the llinty
/ hearted attorney, who saw a good
case, with big fees fading forever
from his sight, was moved to tears.
The gentleman then paid the fees
and costs, and the attorney was au-
lhorizel To withdraw the pending
suit, and the ola people left tho Of
flee hand in hand, and as happy az a
couple OF June bugs.-LOuA3VWG

Revision OF the Bihlo---Progress or
the Work.

The company of revisers engaged
on the authorized version of the Ola
Testament have resumed their labors
at the Deanery, Westminster, under
the presidency of the Bishop of st.
David's. The. Bishops of Landaff,
Ely, and Bath and Wells, and fifteen
other members of the company,
took part in the proceedings. The
London Times says the "health of
the venerable Chairman is so far re-
stored as to give ground for hoping
that lie will be able to exercise an
active and watchful superintendent
throughout its further progress. -
The spirit which prevails now, as at
first, among all engaged in this task,
gives good grounds for believing that
their labors, when completed, will!
commend themselves to the great
majority Of the English people"

Troy, n. Y, has genuine scandal
case. Recently, says the Press,
much comment has been caused by "A
s"andaIous case of martial infidelity.
A widely known conductor on a
lending railroad. and q resident of
Troy, wrote letter to his wife, who
was visiting up north. The letter
stated that he intended TO make AN
extended tour to Chicago, Baltimore,
and finally to Canada, and that he
knew not when he would return.--
Twenty dollars aud return ticket
were enclosed In the letter. The
wife's suspicions were aroused by the
tenor of the letter, and she hurried
home, and discovered that her hus
band had racked up all his effects
and sent them away. During the
night the husband returned while
intoxicated, and Immediately attack
eel his wife, giving her severe beat
ing. #.r -... .... ..E.r
lie then laid down In a maudlin
sleep. and his wife discovered in his
pocket a letter from IA married wo-
man, y no had always been esteemed
as great personal friend, which le-
vealed the astonishing intelligence
that the husband and this woman
had been criminalIy intimate, and
that an e!opement had been planned.
After the husband awoke he left the
house, and has not been seen since,
and as the woman--who is a resident
Of Green island-is also missing, IL
is inferred that the guilty pair have
aloped. The husbands paramour,
during the absence of her husband,
who is travelling agent, sold the
household effects and thus raised
about 1000. The couple are sup
posed to lie luxriating i'm Canada.--
The case is somewhat peculiar, from
the fact that both parties have al
ways been in good social standing,
and have never had breath Of sus>
picion against them before,

How THEY WOULD OPERATE -
Mark Twain says that when women
frame the laws, the first thing they
will do will be to enact:
81. Men shall be at home at 10 p.
M.
"2. Married men should bestow
considerable attention on their own
wives.
-. A hanging offense to cell whis.
ky, and that fine and disfranchise-
meut should follow drinking It.
n. Smoking of cigars to excess
should be forbidden, aud smoking
pipes utterly abolished.
IS. A wife should have a little oil
her own property, when she mar
ries a man who hadn't any"
1--WE decide in favor of woman's
rights, and would especially support
The third proposition. Our better
half suggests the first, also, as one ol
equal importance"
