The Mus1c.Box TRADE.-A Geneva letter
saws: "The extent to which this business is
carried on in Geneva is matter of surprise to
Americans, and the magni6cence of some Of
the instruments turned out exceeds anything
that most persons have any idea of. We were
shown an instrument this morning that played
thirty-six tunes with flute, bell, drum and
castanet accompaniment. The cost OF 1t,
complete. was seven thousand francs, or about
fourteen hundred dollars, the purchaser to
have the privilege of naming twelve airs to
be arranged on two of the cylinders that were
blank. The instruments range IN price from
five franks to seven thousand. The high
priced ones are in elegant rosewood cases, but
most of them are surprisingly low when we
consider the prices at which the smaller boxes
are sold in the United States. There is q
duty, however, of thirty per cent, which &C.
counts in some measure for the cost. A box
playing eight tunes, with the accompaniment
of bells, castanets and drum can he had for
two thousand and fifty francs, and with the
drum accompaniment also for four hundred
francs. The price rises with the size of the
cylinder and the finish of the cases. There
are musical chairs which play when you sit
down upon them, musical decanters which
strike up a merry air, such as the Glowing
Bowl" when you pour anything out of them,
musical snuff boxes, musical flower pots, and
musical toys of all descriptions. The twelve
hundred dollar instrument had a volume OF
sound sufficient for church, and would oc-
eupy as much space in parlor as an ordinary
piano, though it might be taken for an old
style sideboard.

SECRET MARR1AGEs.-Every now and then
the public is startled by the exposure of some
domestic or social villainy based on secret
marriage. Some con6ding young lady has
been induced to marry her lover secretly, and
to keep the marriage secret for months and
perhaps for years. In recent case the mar
riage had been kept secret for nearly seven
years. Of course man who wishes to keep
his marriage a secret is always actuated by
selfish, and usually base motives. He is act
ing participating game; and his conf,
ding wife is pretty sure, in the end, to lind
herself the victim of his treachery and base
ness.
A woman should never consent to be mar
ried secretly. Her marriage should be SOL
emnized in the light Of publicity, and not in
the shadow of concealment. She should dis
trust man who has any reason for shrouding
in darkness the act whch-in his estimation
at least-should be the crowning glory of his
life. The man who always has some plot on
hapd-who naturally takes to trickery and
concealment, and is never ready to have his
actions brought out into the clear light cf
day. is apt to be so constitutionally base that
he seldom, even by accident, deviates into
the path of honor and virtue. No woman
who values her domestic happiness should
ever listen to the suggestions Of such man IN
favor of secret marriage.

A CRY OF WoMEN.-In the central part
of the capital city of Bankok, in Siam, re-
side about nine thousand women, among whom
no man but the king may enter. The inhab:
itants of this inner city are the thousand
women of the royal harem, and some eight
thousand more, who are soldiers, arti6cers and
slaves. This little world is ruled by women
as magistrates, who administer the laws of the
kingdom. There is no appeal from their de-
cisions. If disturbance arises, it is sup
pressed by force Of five hundred Amazons,
trained from infancy to the use of sword and
spear. Meanwhile the slave women carry on
a variety of manufactures, or 60 outside the
walls to till the fields. The women of higher
birth are "sealed" to the king the slave
women may marry, but their husbands dwell
outside the walls. The children, if boys, are
banished from the city of women at six years
old; only the girls remain. All the oriental
distinctions of rank are scrupulously observed
within this strange realm, except that the
magistrates are chosen for personal character
and wisdom.

THE EMPTY CRADLE.-The deasis of lit

ed. The plant lifts up its head in 'reshened
greenness to the morning light; so sae moth
er's soul gathers, from the dark sorrow which
she has passed, fresh frightening Of her
heavenly hopes. :,
AS she bends over the empty cradle, and
fancy brings her sweet infant before her, a
ray of divine light is on the cherub face. 1t
is her son still, but with the seal of immortal
ity on his brow. She feels that heaven was
the only atmosphere where her precious
flower could unfold without spot or blemish,
and she would not recall the last. But the
anniversary of his departure seems to bring his
spiritual presence near her. She indulges in
that tender grief which soothes, like an opiate
in pain, I'll hard passages and cares in life.
The world to her is no longer filled with
human love and hope in the future, so glorious
with heavenly love and joy; she has treasures
of happiness which the worldly, unchastened
heart never conceived. The bright, fresh
flowers with which she has decorated her
room, the apartment where her infant died,
are mementoes of her far brighter hopes now
dawning on her day dream. She thinks Of
the glory of the new Jerusalem, where the
little foot will never find thorn aElong the
flowers to render the shoe necessary. Nor
will pillow be wanted for the dear head re-
posing on the breast of a kind Saviour. And
she knows that her infant is there lii that
world of eternal bliss.

YOUNG AMERICA WoNDERs.-I wonder
what makes papa tell such nice stories to WIS.,

he went to school, and about his running

day in dark room, because tried just once

Wonder what made papa say that wicked
word, when Betsey upset the ink all over his
paper, and then slapped my ears when l said
the same thing when my kitestring broke?
Wonder why mamma told Bridget, the other
day to say she was not at home when Tommy
Days mother called, and then puts me to bed
without my supper every time I tell lie?

A Cool OFF1cER.-During the war bat
terry was sent to Helena, Arkansas, the mem
bers of which having no idea of war, and
little of anything except the freedom (using a
rather profane expression) to "raise hell and
break things" proved so turbulent and un-
governable that no commanding officer could
be found who could exercise any control at
all over them. Finally, the commanding
general selected his chief of artillery-a stall
wart and reliable German-to 60 and take
charge of that battery, and straighten the
members thereof. On hearing of this arrange
ment, the members of the battery made every
preparation to clean out the new importation,
and an arrangement to ride him on rail out
of their jurisdie lion was effected: But the
German was too sharp for them. He went to
a regiment of infantry and directed the Colo
mel to give him detail of fifty of his best
men, fully armed, which was soon furnished.
He then smilingly passed into the crowd Of
malcontents with his fierce, whiskered and
armed detail, and ordered every sinner OF
them strapped to the guns, wheels, caisons, or
to any thing that happened to be about, so
that it could hold them perfectly secure, and
tipping his military hat, and bowling politely
to the fettered crowd of enraged but helpless
bummers, wishing them pleasant dreams, he
passed into his tensNnd slept serenely.
In the morning he got up leisurely, washed
and dressed himself with scrupulous nicely,
and walking out among the hampered crowd,
placed his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest,
and exclaimed, with great suavity and the
most perfect good nature:
"Goot morning, shentlemen! How you
pass de night, hey%
1t was too much The men caved before
the consumate GOODNESS and audacity of their
new commander, and it is said by those who
were present on that occasion, that this de-
moralized battery did as good execution at.
terward as any in the service.

HARD TO BEAr.-The Charleston Neers
says: "a young lady of Bamberg, South
Carolina, has cultivated twenty-five acres Of
cotton during the past spring and summer,
with no other assistance than one negro girl,
whom she hired for the year for ffty.six dol
lars. The young lady did the hoeing, while
the girl did the plowing. The ground was
manured with four tons of Wando fertilizer,
and, it is estimated, will yield twelve bales of
cotton, six of which have already been re-
ceived by Messrs. Reeder & Davis, factors, Of

HOUSEHOLD TRA1NING.- Journal Of
Health says: "Training girls for household
duties ought to be considered as necessary as
instruction in writing and arithmetic, and
quite as universal. We are in our house more
than half of our existence and it is the house
hold surroundings which affect more largely
the happiness or misery of domestic life. If
the wife knows how to "keep house." if she
understands how to "set table," if she has
learned how things ought to be cooked, how
beds should be made, how carpets should be
swept, how furniture should be busted, how
the clothes should be repaired and turned and
altered, and renovated if she knows how pur-
chases can be made to the best advantage, and
understands the laying in of provisions, how
to make them 60 farthest and last longest; II
she appreciates the Importance of system, or
der, tidiness, and the quiet management OF
children and servants, then she knows how to
make little heaven of home, how to keep
her husband from the clubhouse, the gam
bling-table and the wine.cup. Such family
will be trained to social respectability, to bus
iness success, and to efficiency and usefulness
in whatever position may be allotted to them.
1t is safe to say that not one girl in ten in our
large towns and cities enters into married life
who has learned to bake loaf O. bread, to
purchase roast, painting, to sweep car
pet or to cut and fit and make her own dress
How much the perfect knowledge of these
things bears upon the thrift, the comfort and
health Of families may be conjectured, but not
calculated by figures. 1t would be OF I'M
measurable advantage to make beginning
by attaching kitchen to every girls school
in the nation, and have lessons given daily in
the preparation of all the ordinary articles of
food and drink for the table, and how to pur-
chase them in market to the best advantage,
with the result of large saving Of money, an
increase of comfort and higher health in every
family in the land.
1--WE think that boys also should be trained
for household duties. Not perhaps in precise
ly the same way, or to the same extent as
girls, but sufficiently to make them wise ad-
visers and helpers of their wives. No man
who never undertook to prepare three com.
Portable meals day, or to do family wash.
ing, or to sweep and dust house, or to mend
and make clothing, has any adequate concep..
tion of the care and labor these household
matters involve. Therefore, husbands are too
often careless in providing help, exacting in
their demands upon their wives, and, worst Of
all, underestimate the value of her services.
If boys were trained to house. work sufficiently
to appreciate its value, no man would ever
say that he "supported his wife" If fthey had
ever helped to "tend the baby" husbands
would seldom neglect tae mother Of their chill
dren."

young lady will make an abundance Of corn,

D1eN1rY.-Nothing lowers man, if there
by he honors the Lord. 1t is not possible for
any godly work to be beneath our dignity
rather ought we to know that the lowest

SCAT w-Our old HOMESTEAD on Penn
street, one door above Irwin, was the home Of
many happy cat. among the rest was one,
an old short.tailed, time-honored cat, about as
thrifty one as was ever seen anywhere. The
time allude to was in the summer of 1862.
She had full batch Of kittens. should first
say she was one of the best cats ever saw.
She would often undertake the destruction Of
rats nearly as large as herself. I have fire.
quently seen her engaged in such struggle:
She always came off victorious, and the yard
back of the house was the scene of many q
conflict, and was frequently strewn with the
largest rats, stifened in death, all the work of
her own hand. AS stated above, she had a.
full batch of kittens, one think, for every
teat. We noticed that all the kittens but one
were sleek and fat, the very pink Of perfec-
tion, while the poor exception looked very
miserable We could not imagine what was
the cause of it. To see one of the little fam
lily look so wretched, while the others were so
sleek and we'll provided for, caused no little
talk in our family. At last the secret was
unraveled. My sister, who is now living with
me, came screaming at the top of her voice :
"Come here and see nasty big rat sucking
the catw You may be sure lost no time
in running to the scene of action. There,
lying right in the door Of the hay-loft, was
Mrs. Pussy and her family. Every kitten
but one had a teat in i.s mouth, and the poor
deserted thing was not in its place There,
lying among the kittens, was monster rat,
with teat in its mouth, sound asleep. The
sight was too unnatural. came right down
the hay-loft steps, ran up into the house and
got pair of tongs. I then took hold of the
rat with the tongs and drew it away from the
teat, and while it was licking its lips, dashed
it to the ground, killing it. Now comes as
singular part Of the story as the foregoing:
Although she was one Of the best of rat-catch-
ers, and as lively as cricket all the time, yet
from the hour of killing her pet rat she never
did any more good, never took nourishment
of any kind, but pined away and died in just
one week from that day. The story may
seem incredible to some, but every word is
true. There is yet besides myself, a living
witness of it, although forty years have passed
away.-Pitsburg Chronicle.

The RICH MANS ENTRANCE DooR.-That
passage from the New Testament which reads,
ut is easier for camel" etc., is familiar to
all readers and has perplexed many good
men who have read it literally. Yet the ex-
PLANTATION of its precise meahing is very
simple. In Oriental cities there are in the
large gates small and very low apertures,
called, metaphorically, needles eyes," just as
windows on shipboard are "bulls' eyes,. "
These entrances are too narrow for camel
to pass through in the ordinary manner, even
if unloaded. When a loaded camel has to
pass through one of these entrances it kneels
down, its load is removed, and then it shuffles
through on its knees he must kneel, and bow
his head, to 60 through "the eye of needle"
that is the low arched door Of an enclosure; !;
and thus the rich man must humble himself
when he enters the gates Of Heaven.

DoS'T HURRY Your CoTToN.-The Co.
lumbus S,u, has this: eve hear that the lar
gest warehouse firm in this city arc notifying
planters to whom they made advances to cease
hurrying so much cotton to market. The ef:
feet of this action, they say, is to produce
false impression regarding the crop. To re-
ceipts alone do spinners of the North and Eu-
rope look. Cotton has been forwarded rapid
ly because catcrpillars and rust have stripped
the leaves from the plant and left the bolls
exposed to the hot sun. The great amount
already arrived has locked up an immense
amount of money, and hence has depressed
prices. They believe that the lowest point in
price will be reached in thirty, at farthest, in
sixty days. Then, receipts diminishing, and
the fact of a short crop becoming apparent
quotations must again 60 upwards, and the
country be the gamer thereby. The state
ments of the past week demonstrate its truth.
No hope is entertained in any quarter of late
crop. That may be found in caterpillars and
the results of rust, and they are not marketa-
ble"
