Cooper. He had been married
without knowing it. At first he
tried to escape the liability en-
tailed upon him, but such an out
cry was made by all the people
around that he was forced 10
carry of his bride. He managed
to get rid Of her before very long
by transferring her to one of her
relations, but even that was not
treated as a dissolution of the
marriage. On his way back he
was joined one day by a Thibetan
damo, of about thirty years old,
who announced herself as his
wifc's mother, and SAID she had
come, with the consent Of her
husband, to supply her daughters
place. We can well imagine Mr..
Cooper's surprise at meeting with
this novel proposal on the part of
his mother in-law.

Bachelors Wives and Old
Maids Children.

The old bachelor looks critically
on mems wives. He takes an in
vestigating interest in them. But
be does so in a critical and an
analytical sort of way, which the
husbands did not practice in the
first instance, and which they
would hardly like to have fully ex-
planned TO them now. But the
bachelor is nothing if not critical.
He detects the tinge ofred or gray,
the inequalities Of curve or line,
and sees clearly through all the
mysteries and articles Of the toll

Whateverj jewel a man may think be
has found, the connoisseur bache-
lor will hold thai he can find a
flaw in it. Sometimes he will do
this quite cynically. Other men
will DO it just as often, though not
cynically. The object Of such
criticisms is very often some mere
self glorifcation. lfhe-tbe bache-
lor-had married, no one wonld
have been able to criticise Caesars
wife. lie would not have missed
fortune, as one friend has done;
or beauty, as second, or family:
as q third. His wife would have
far transcribed the commonplace
wives ofavcragc men. She would
be everything that q woman ought
to be. In short, the bachelors
wife is always perfection in the
abstract.
Naturally enough, the thoughts
Of the old bachelor manly run
upon his lovers; but that Of the
old maid, upon young children.
That mighty instinct Of maternity
is ever more busy in her heart.
Cats and parrots are only an ex-
cuse for babies. Had it pleased
God to bless her with them. how
she would have cared for the little
loves! No children would be bet
ter or better cared for than hers.
When she goes into other houses.
she does not, indeed, think un-
kindly Of children, for indeed she
loves them all. But she cannot
help drawing some disparaging
comments between the children
that she meets, and those non-ex-
istent. possible children that would
have been paragons and phe
nomcna. Other children would
have been untidy; but hers would
have been the pink Of ncatncss.
Other children are not perfectly
well-behayed, have little tempcrs,
betray NOR, Of the human heart
than Of the angelic nature but
hers wonld be nothing Of this
kind. They would be good, like
Miss Edgeworth's children; talk
science like the children in Joyce's

their dates, be distinguished from

never cry out loud. never tumble
off chairs or down stairs, never
show rents, stains Of jam, hooks

must surely feel their wings grow

The Voyage to the Pole,

The new Arctic Expedition which
sailed from New York last week
promises to be more fruitful of in
formation than any which has yet
7cntured among the frozen and IN
hospitable regions of the Pole.
Captain Hall, at banquet given
hin, just previous to his depar-
ture, gave an interesting account
of the difficulties which he had en-
countered during his twelve years
experience as an Arctic explorer.
He announced his belief in the ex:
istence of a passage to the open
Polar Sea, and said that he felt
hopeful of finding it. He men.
toned some of his efforts in fitting
up the present expedition, and
the hard work which it required
to put it IN proper shape. He said
that be had been unusually fortu-
nate in obtaining an excellent
corps Of assistants, and good
crew for his vessel. He intended
going direct to St. Johns, n. F.,
and would sail from there through
Davis Straits as high as latitude
7Oo to Cape York, and if possible
to latitude 76o or 90'. After win
tering there, nc expects to start
in April. 1872, in search of the
North Pole. The distance from
his place of rendezvous to the
North Polo would be about 600
nautical miles. lie said he de-.
signed travelling over this space
in sleds drawn BY Esquimaux
dogs. lie had made provisions
for FIVE or six sleds, With fifteen
dogs to each one. Each sled be
filed with provisions. and as fast
as each load was exhausted the
empty sled would be sent back to
the starting point. The Polaris
would stop at St. Johns for four
days, and would then proceed on
the journey northward. The ship
Supply will also leave St. Johns
with 800 tons Of coal and 100 tons
of provisions on board, which
would be taken to the place of
rendezvous Of the expedition. At
ter arriving at Uppernavik the
expedition would ktd farewell to
the civilized globe. Captain Hall
said that his instructions from the
Secretary Of the Navy enabled him
10 sail which way be pleased after
reaching Cape Dix. His first
winter inthe Arctic Circle would
be of one hundred and twenty
days duration, and bis second
winter would last six months.
Captain Hall said that be felt sat-
isfed that be woald And people at
the North Pole, from what he had
heard from the Esquimaux. At

A Mr.. Thomas Cooper, an En-
glishman, has published an ac-
count of his travels in Thibet,
" hich he visited disguised as a
Chinaman. Among his stories is
the following:
He was Just hating for break

town of Bathang, when a group
of young girls, gayly dressed and
decked with garlands of flowers,
come out of q grove and surround
ed him, some Of them holding his

to alight. He was then led into
q grove, where he found a feast
being prepared, and: after he had
eaten and smoked his pipe, the
girls came up to him again, ''pull-

Summer Evening Music.

VI all the memories OF q Euro
pean tour, none is more vivid or
more delightful than the out-of-
door music Of the Continent. In
deed, music and life in the open
air have a much closer relation
to each other than is generally
imagined. The most musical peo-
pie in the world arc the Germans
and the Italians, whose two
schools are acknowledged as the
only standards Of musical taste
and culture, and the Germans
pass most Of their time out.of-
doors during the summer, while
the Italians Of the cities live in
the open air tor the greater part
Of the year. Music is cheap with
them, because it is part of their
being, and it is excellent because
their taste has been so highly ed
ucated that they will not tolerate
mediocrity in composition or per-
formance.
The increasing attention paid
to music in this country, especial
ly in the line of summer concerts,
which is IN a great measure due
to the large German element in
our population, is a very crafty
ing fact. The climate Of the Uni
ted States from May to October
invites US to the open air tor the
enjoyment of the pleasantest
hours of the twenty-four in the
late afternoon, and parks have
come very properly to be regard
ed by all our municipal govern
ments as indispensable adjuncts
to cities. But the park without
music is the rose without perfume,
life without love, O world desti-
tute of color, Hamlet with the
Prince of Denmark omitted
Given park there must be nu-
sic. And what so conducive to
innocent enjoyment, to the public
health, to the improvement of the
national taste?
1t would be q curious inquiry
to examine the difference in the
open.air life of tho Germans and
the French in respecteof their mu-
sical entertainment. Paris has al
ways been, in a certain sense, mu-
steal, and on the Chamr Elysees
the summer nights u~sd to be
"6lled with music" But the
Frenchman liked the cafe chant
ant, the stage and the foot.lights,
gas and gauze pctticoats, even
under tho trees. The expressive,
spiritual, dreamy music, the lofty
harnonles Of the great German
masters, or the pure melodies of
of the italian composers, would
alike have bored him unspeaka-
bly,. For instrumental effect he
prefers Ofenbach. The German
demands the highest effects of the
art, and rejects all that is mere
tricious or impure.
But this comparison is apart
from the matter in hand, which
is the importance Of providing
both for the amusement and in
struction Of our people by the best
musical performances. All efforts
in this direction deserve the heart
lest encouragement, and it is easy
to see that they will receive it.
The orchestral leader who pro
vides q high order of music In the
open air is a public bepefactor.

Parties South.

The Southern Commissioner
of the New York Journal Of CON-
merce says th,re arc four distinct
parties in the Southern States, but
two OF which have any organiza-
ton. They are partieularized
thus: ..-. - -. - .~..>-.s-
l. Men Of The great past. Men
who were nul'ifers in Jackson's
time, secessionists in 1850, who
did not surrender with Lee in 1855,
who believe Congress viii reverse
the Reconstruction Acts, and who
actually entertain q vague belief
that the constitutional amend
ments Will ultimately be repealed.
They are men of twenty years ago.
who have carried the doctrine Of
State sovereignty SO far that when
you climb a fence from one State
to another you meet on the other
side people who take no more in
terest in the people on The side
you lett than if they did not exist.
They are practically dead men
hanging like an incubus on the
live people, and fortunately are o
small minority. '5*

native population of the South,
with a considerable proportion Of

"a Woman in the Pulpit"

4 correspondent Of the Char
lesion Republican, writing from
Aiken, S. c., under date June 2l,
says:
On Sunday last, Miss Emily
Rodney, colored uoman, preached
from the pulpit the most effective
sermon we ever listened to. The
Lord called her to the ministry,
and she is doing His work. Her
home was in Philadelphia. She
lived with a family of Friends or
Quakers, and now dresses like
them, although member Of the
church. After the surrender she
left Philadelphia to work for the
elevation Of her race. In Staun-
ton, Virginia, by her own efforts
in raising money she built a
church and established a school.
The buildings are now worth
three thousand dollars. Then
che went to Grcenville, Virginia,
held meetings which white and
colored attended, and again built
a church, costing one thousand
dollars, in which a school was
held. Leaving them with only
fifty dollars in debt, she came last
fall to Columbia, S. c., where she
commenced her iabors in part of
the city most needing them, and
now has mission school of fifty
scholars, and is raising means to
build church.
Here is one uomaa's work. Not
a smooth path either; ignorance
and envy are the stumblingblocks
in every great work. The con-
ference, consisting Of men, refused
bcr license, because she was a 100.
man, but the Bishop gave her
permission so, those who desire
can her in the pulpit.
h, Mo. ling and evening tho house
was crowded. many from curiosity,
some to criticise, yet all were
convinced, and many better for
tho hearing.
In ailuding to her sex she re-
marked, The Bible says the Cos
pei shall be preached" not that
man or woman, male or female
must do it, but sit shall be preach
ed." ''The Lord tried men so
long he now gives the power to
women" and if women CAL influ-
ence men for badness, and all
know she can; pure, good, holy
women can draw mems souls
away from evil and lead them to
the kingdom"
In her explanation of the two
blind men, sitting by tho way
side and calling on Jesus to heal
their sight, language fails to ex-
press the power of her words, or
the imprcssivencss Of her exhor-
tation. when urging sinners to
come nom, "while Jesus was pass
ing by; come sinner, no matter if
YOU are a rd-player, or a drunk
ard no matter what the world
will say, come now-come! while
Jesus is passing BY, come with
your cards in your pocket, como! !
even if YOU have the rum bottle
there, come ifyou are half drunk,
and when the Spirit Of the Lord
gets into your heart, the other
spirit will get out."
She advised them to peace, hon
esty, Justice showing that true
religion was Il principle, and must
be shown in the daily life.
The correspondent concludes
thus:
A few moro such women in such
work would make Christianity a
luing reality, and lift up any race
that accepted its teachings.
