you will see Harris as he appeared on
that eventful day. We turned that
buggy round in the water, and we
turned the horse too, one being nearly as
difficult to manage as the other But
We did turn them, and set out bravely
for the shore, mile and a half away.
Our perils, however, were not ended
not by any means. In one place, the
horse, plunging vigorously, set his foot,
in an impressive manner, on Harris's
corns, causing him to perform many
surprising feats in the water, of which
l didn't believe him capable, aud pretty
often the affinity of twisted roots for our
feet had an equally lively effect on our
movements. But worse, alas was to
come. A treachsrous branch of tree
was lying in the way it became entang-

revolved with the said wheel under

caught that devoted officer just behind
his knee, and caused him to revol vo

that moment, I saw my friend describing
an arc of circle, till, "vith his face
turned to the Skies" he disappeared,
with mighty splash. The horse wa
stopped, and n. rescue attempted but

forever. Harris bid the "Dismal

John Paul having returned from

Marriages in England.

The London correspondent Of the
Missouri Republican writes
Parental authority is seldom employed
iu making marriage plans; but pa,crnal
influence AMI maternal diplomacy are
very potent. Whoever comes into the
drawing room of an English house does
so by an invitation from the mastor or
mistress. 1t is scarcely possible for an
English girl to mako the acquaintance
of a gentleman except through her ps
rents. Gentlemen do not expect it and
do not attempt it, and daughters do not
expect and do not attempt it. Girls are
not under surveillance, but the parents
think and the daughters are made to
feel that they c. 1ot take care of them
selves, so some o, is always With them
to take care Of them. There is not
wide range for matrimonial choice, but
it is not needed. A good many insecure
ties are eliminated to start with. The
'rcspectability" aud income are secured
from knowing the family aud o woman
has little to consider beyond the matter
of personal attraction and habits But
an Englishman of"good family" is not
likely to have habits that arc fatally
Objectionable. He has inherited his
ways, and he has many r:s.raints to keep
him in those ways. He is not likely to
to gamble or drink immediately, nor
in other ways to outrage tho public de-
cencieS. Or if he should chance to be
addicted to any excess his family will
not lose its social place.
Respectability cannot be thrown aWsy
in one generation. He may have bad
temper aud beat his wife. 1t is said
that this treatment is not yet wholly a
tradition in any grade of English life,
but just in proportion as it is not uAusu-
al, is it less likely to break tho Wife's
heart, and as domestic life is soshut of
from the world, the knowledge ei it need
not escape from tho home.
