An Illustration.

A little boy was advised by his father
to use illustrations III his conversation
whenever they should occur to him;
'sfor," continued the parent, ssthere is no
more forcible way of impressing your
meaning" ~. - g1<Zps9s3 agf
Shortly after the boy was being lee
tured on generosity; 'It's better togive
than receive, Johnny, far better; the
Bible says SO, and say So"
illustrate it, pappy; I think will
understand you better"
Father could not see the application.

Why Woman WEEDS.

Some close observer of our social re-
lations having looked about among his
married female acquaintances, ventures
TO give. the following list, with an at
Temps to indicate the real reasons which
influence too many to marry: r.,-,s
Number one has married for a home.
She thought married life on earth was
BUS moonlight walks, buggy rides, new
bonnets, and nothing to do. Well, she
has got her home; whether or not she
IS tired of the membranes, this depO-
nent saith not, inasmuch as this depo-
nent does not positively know.
Number two married because she had
seven young sisters and a papa with a
narrow income. She consulted the in
terestse Of her family. Perhaps she
would better have consulted her own
Interests by-staking in light washing or
going out by the day to work.
Number three married because Mrs,
sounded SO much better than Miss. She
was twenty-nine years and eleven
months old, and another month would
have transformed her into a regular old
maid. Think how awful that would
have been!
Number four married because she
husband married for precisely the same
reason, so they are both repenting at
leisure.
Number Hive married because Fanny
White had a nice new husband land she
wasn't going to be left behind. Pity il
She couldn't get married as we'll as
other folks.
Number six married because She was
poor and wanted riches! She never
counted on all the other things that
We're inseperable from those coveted
Riches 49," = 't~s-' = s''' - 7'F''
Number seven married because she
thought She should like to travel. But
Mr.. Number Seven, changed his mind
afterward, and all the travelling she
has done has been between the well and
the back Kitchen door. 81 ts. ....,a
Number eight married out of spite,
because her first love had taken to him
selfa second love! This piece Of retail
iation might have done hef good at the
time, but in the long run number eight
found it did not pay.
Number nine married because she
had read novels and sssVanted 'sympa-
thy" Sympathy is fine thing, but it
cools, down at q rapid rate if the do
mestic kettle is not kept boiling, and
the domestic turkey is undone. Nov
els and housekeeping don't run very
well together in harness, to use sport
ing phrase, and number nine's supply
of sympathy didn't hold out very long.
Number ten married because she
loved her husband with all her heart
and all her soul. And she loves him
still, and will probably continue to love
him, and is the happiest wife in the
world-so she says.
We have all the right motive at last
one which, when sanctified by a de-
sire and resolution to improve and ele-;
vate each other, and to live true and
holy lives before God, can not fail to
call down the blessings of heaven.
But sad is the fate of those who marry
from wrong motives-tQ escape their
share of life's work or to get something
for which they have nothing to give in
return.

Camels are raised in Nevada, we are
assured, without difficulty. One ranch
man on the Carme river has raised
twenty-four of these interesting an
imals from two which were imported.
The prospect is that the camel will
eventually become an acclimated fix
ture in Nevada. If there, why not
elsewhere in the Union?

EXTENT OF THE MARINE JUa.D ZION Of THE UNITED
STATES.

WASHINGTON, April a. 1871.
An important question. What constitutes the
waters OF Inc United statesg has recently been
under consideration in the Treasury Department In
relation to the granting OF an American REGISTER to
foreign built vessel wrecked of the coast OF Geor
gla and bought and repaired by Americans.
The Norwea ian bark Eas laden with rail-
road iron, was wrecked on . the reef at the
80 nth end OF sapello island on the coast of Georgia,
In the summer OF 1870. The wreck was purchased
after the cargo hao peen removed by sever al Ame-
rieans. and ov1r three tines the amount was ex-
pended In repairing and reRttng her thaa was paid
for the wreck. Application was made for an Ame-
rlcan register, ana all the conditions imposed by
law such cases having been fulfilled, her owners
were 80 sanguine of securing 1t that she Was laden
with va liable cargo, and on5 awaited her papers
to clear for foreign port In the application filed
II stated that the bark wrecked seven miles
from the Georgia coast and ~ the Uniied States
claim jurisdiction only over q distance OF marine
league three miles, from land, the Secretary or the
Treasury decided that register could not he Issued
lt was sub equentiy shown that, under The ruin OF
the United STATES supreme Court, islands on the
OF the United SJaes are TO te considered the
same as the mainland, and accordingly an American
register mas Just been issued to the Owper5 ~ this
vessel This is the first question OF the Kind that has
many years. and, OF the discussion upon this
point regard to the rights OF American fishermen
In dominion waters, more interest attaches TO tnan
ever be ore
