A Horseless World.

A Western paper amuses itself in
this way: What a queer world it
would bel No dray-horse or cart
horse in the streets; no race-horse
sweeping over the track; no cavalry
horse on the battlefield; no ladyis
frey proudly prancing; no mustang
on the plains: no Shetland pony: NO
Canadian sleigh-horse; no fcanal-boat
horse, or artillery horse, or ash-cart
horse, or circus horse no stallion in
Kentucky +; no horse tor Sheridan TO
ride or Grant to drive, or Mazeppa to
fly with. A horseless world would
not be the world to which we have
been accustomed. We should miss
the kindly face of the animal which
has been called the " friend of man. !"
which has served him so faithfully !;
which has performed his hardest work
for him; which has helped him TO
fight his battles; which has done SO
much to render life enjoyable, and
which has been so cruelty abused by.
the hard-hearted.
Many species eff animals have be.
come extinct, even within historical
periods. 1t is melancholy to think of
the horse taking his place among the
extinct species.
IF we lost the hores, we should, of
course, lose the mule. "Jenny" would
be thing of tradition, and the occu-
patton of the Mexican muleteers
would be gone. Our language would
be deprived of the useful word, mulish
and also of the derivative. mulatto.

Beautiful.

How true and faithful we should be
to our solemn marriage vows, and In
the end, when we come to bid each
other adieu beside the death-bed, and
know that we are to be separated for
a time, by the cruel hand of death,
how beautiful it would be 10 say,
have lived to my marriage vowsp
When we stand at the altar, and prom
ise before God and witness, to love,
cherish, honor, and obey each other,
do we intend to do so? Do we mean
what we say? ,Alas, how soon are
those vows forgotten? Young man
when you stand before the hymeneal
altar, with some fair being at your
side, who has promised to leave father,
mother, brothers and sisters, and share
your joys and sorrows through life,
remember that she has forsaken all
others for you, and think how well
you should love her! She loves you
with her whole heart, and has given
her life into your hands for the future,
and you should remember she is some
thing that when once taken from you
in death, can never be returned. Love
your wife.

Refreshing Divorce Decision.

Considerable CONSERVATION has been
created in Chicago by the recent
ruling of the Circuit Court of that
city that, hereafter,i divorces would
not be granted except for serious
causes. In the case in which this de.
cision was made, the wife alleged re-
peated and extreme cruelty on the
part of the husband, but the evidence
only showed that the lady had suf-
fered much from the jealous disposi-
ton and intemperate habits of the
gentleman. The Judge decided that
extreme and repeated cruelty was not
inflicted when man scolded his wife
or pinched her arms black and blue.
The marriage relation, he held, was
not simply matter of etiquette, in
which the husband must invariably be
polite, and that allowance must always
be made for human nature and human
passions. Husbands, he said, were
often absurdly jealous, but divorces
were not to be granted because men
were jealous of their wives, especially
when it was not shown whether the
wives were to blame or not.

HERE is curious and melancholy
story Illustrative of great public dis
appointment. Strange to say, Telfair
County, Ca, has never enjoyed cir
Gus. Somebody procured a number
of old bills and posted them at jack
sonville, announcing that the circus
would be exhibited on certain FRI
day. eAgreat crowd of men, women,
and children gathered, all wild with
Joy and expectation, but no circus ap-
peared. After hope deferred had
made great many hearts sick, a little
boy rushed into the town crying that
he had seen the clown crossing the
river. And who should the clown
turn out to be but Gen. Cook coming
to make political speechl The crowd
melted sadly away, and the General
had but hard time of it.

How AN ENGLISH GHOST WAS MADE
TO VANIsH.-I will relate story
which as recently told me during
little sojourn in the country. In the
castle of Lord S. there is haunted
room. Haunted rooms are not un-
common in castles, but this one was
persistently haunted. Every night
any one who occupied it saw a ghost
in white fit through the apartment.
A gentleman from London, visiting
the family, was very curious about
this apparation, and was surprised tc
learn that no person who had seen it
had ever had the courage to speak to
it. At his request he was put to sleep
in the apartment, and early next
morning the family crowded around
to learn his experience. "Well," says
Lord S., "did you see the ghost p. 90,
yes, and fancy have put an end to
that ghosts wanderings." "What?
How? Did you speak to it ?" "Oh,
yes.~ HAnd what did you say 2" ~
asked it to subscribe for the repairs on
Warwick Castle, and 1t Immediately
vanished" ~
