Is man of common sense. he recognizes
marriage MS the true condition of man and

straightforward manner; he does not tell her

to know whether she will marry him-not a

Cassell's Natural History says elephants are
susceptible of the most tender attachment TO
one another, and relates the following occur
renee Two very young elephants--male and
fenale-had been separated, in order to be
conveyed singly to Paris; and, not having seen
one another for several months, the joy they
expressed on meeting again is not to be de-
scribed. Running instantly together, they
uttered cry of delight that shook the whole
building, and blew the air out of their trun ks
with violence resembling the blast of the
smiths bellows. The female pleasure seemed
to be the more lively; she expressed it BY
moving her ears with astonishing rapidity, and
tenderly twiuing her trunk around the body of
the male, She laid it particularly to his ear,
where she held it for considerable time
motionless, and, after having folded it again
about his body, she applied it to her own
mouth. The male, in like manner, folded his
trunk around the body of the female, and the
pleasure he felt seemed to be of more senti-
mental kind; for he expressed it by shedding
an abundance of tears. Afterwards they had
stable in common, and their mutual attach
ment excited much interest.

Has Hanging for Murder Played Out"7

The New York Tribune in discussing the
king-O Nelll murder, a brutal affair which
occurred in that city last week, growing out of
an affair Of Jealousy, makes the following
points
The ruin of domestic happiness, the destruc-
ton of the better traits of character, the oblit
GRAFTON Of all noble and eevating impulses, the |
abasement of ambition, the Inflammation of
every bad passion, are the inevitable cohse-
queBces of departure from that strict and
beautiful law upon which the sanctity of the
family has been established. The bloody
catastrophe which has so often completed the
wretched story is the standing menace which
Providence keeps before the face of the offend
er. Fair and Crittenden, Fisk and Stokes,
Bolts and Halstead, King and O'Neill-what
1 terrible warnings all these names uphold. To-
day it is the truant husband who falls by the
pistol of an assassin. Tomorrow it is the
lecherous gallant whom the devil in one fatal
moment converts into an assassin. Who shall
say which is punished the more seVerely-Fisk
in his coffin, or King in that horrible jail called
the TOmbs?
That the lesson has been so little taken to
heart is the fault in great measure of the re-
spectacle members of the community. A

The Autumn winds are sighing,

Too swiftly, far away!

My wakeful eyes are weeping,
And my spirit her vigil keeping

And her wings, like the eagle, soaring,

A tear with the thought is starting,
And pang TO my soul is darting,
