Welded Life Only the Beginning.

e. According to the love idyl OF the period, ;"
writes L. b. Aldrich, when Laura and
Charles Henry, after unheard of obstacles,
are finally united, all cares and fluctuations
and responsibilities slip from their sleek
backs like Christians burden The idea ia
pretty one, theoretically, but, like, some
OF those models in the patent office at
Washington, it doesn't work Charles
Henry does not go on sitting at Laura's
feet and reading Timothy Tuconib to her
forever; the rent OF the cottage by the sea
falls due with prosaie regularity; there are
bakers and butchers and babies and tax
collectors and undertakers, and sometimes
gentlemen of the jury, to be attended to.
welded life is not one long, amatory poem.
with recurrent rhymes OF love and dove
aud kiss and bliss. Yet when the average
sentimental novelist has supplied his hero
aud heroine with their bridal outfit. and at
tended to that little matter of the marriage
certificate, he usually turns oft the gas, but
up his shutters, and saunters off with his
hands in his pockets, as if the days business
were over. But we, who are honest dealers
in real life and disdain to give short weight
know better. The business is by no means
over-it is just begun. 1t is not Christian

Suggestion for Adoption In the Pubic %
Schools.

General John Eaton. Commissioner of
Education, has received letter from Mrs
Matilda Fletcher, inquiring his opinion of a
plan suggested by her to encourage "indus
trial exhibitions" in connection with GU
public schools. She would induce the Dr. /
pills to bring to the school once a week, 2
once IN two weeks, some article of ue .
made by themselves, to be explained and
exhibited under the supervision of til.
teacher in the presence of the parents ano
friends. The commissioner, in response u
this letter, writes that he heartily approve"
OF her plan. which he considers to be a prac
tical development and application of th.
underlying idea of the kindergarten system,
which has shown that to be allowed to
make something themselves is a delight to
the youngest children, and that by q wise
direction OF this instinct they can be taught
many useful lessons. He also commend
the plan as means of increasing the inter
est OF parents and friends in schools and O.
receiving their visits at stated intervals:
while it would, furthermore, arouse in the
children such an interest in the daily work
Ut the household, the shop and the farm as
will teach them the value and dignity of
labor and tit them for usefulness.

Mark Twain ON the Sandwich Islands.
Mark Twain writes as follows to the
editor of the London Standard:
SIR-In view of the frenzy concerning
the Sandwich Islands, and the inflamed de-
sire of the public to acquire information
concerning them. have thought it we'll to
tarry another week in England and deliver
a lecture upon this absorbing subject. And
lest it be thought unbecoming in me, a
stranger, to come to the rescue at such q
time, instead of leaving to ADLER hands
matter OF SO much moment, desire To ex-
plain that do it with the best Of motives
aud the most honorable intentions. do it
because am convinced that no one can al
lay this unwholesOme excitement as ef-
tectually as Lean; and to allay it, and allay
it as quickly as possible, ia surely the one
thing that is absolutely necessary at this
juncture. l feel and know that am equal
to this task, for l can allay any kind of an
excitement by lecturing upon it. 1 have
saved many communities in this way. l
have always been able to paralyze the pub
lie interest in any topic that chose to
take hold of and elucldate with all NV
strength.
Hoping that this explanation will show
that ii l am seeming to intrude | am at
least doing it from nigh impulse, l am,
sir, your Obedient servant,

men in bis tribulation. rD 81 ..
On another occasion, at the very close of
the session, Mr.. Evans was in great trouble
about some bill, Of no general Importance,
but in which quite number of his constit-
uents we're particularly Interested. He had
been trying all winter to get it passed; but
a few hours remained, and his an xiety was
intensified. 1t was late at night; Senator
Foot, OF Vermont, was nodding in the chair.
The Senate had been in continuous ses-
sion for two days and nights. Probably
not quorum would have been found
present if there had been call of the
house. Some were absent, some sleeping,
some in the ante-rOoms eating, some drink
ing, some smoking; only few who could
get the floor were attending to business.
In his distress he CHANGED to see Senator
Wade in his seat across the chamber. He
rose, and going over to the Radical side of
the hall la thing he very seldom did,, said
to Wade: 'sHere, sir, have been all winter
trying to get bill through in which some
500 old neighbors of mine are concerned,
and the time is fast passing; what can l
do? ?" why, my freud, said the Senator,
ings; call up your bill Now is the very
best time to pass it. Go quick; l will help
YOU" Evans went back to his seat, and was
fumbling about for q copy of his bill, some
what dazed at the sudden manner and sng- i
gestion of his counselor, when Wade was
On his feet, and called out: sMr. Presi
dent, the Senator from South Carolina,
Mr.. Evans, has bill of a pri-
vate nature which has been pend
ng long time; he is anxious 1t should
pass. / move the rules be suspended for
his purpose; it will take but moment"
No enc objected. Mr.. Evans was recogn zed |
llmost before he was aware of it. His bill !
was put through, much. to his delight.

"The Colonel says that the men will be

to proceed to work ~ soon as the Or

sleep and have their home. The Col.
says he will complete the extension in
fifty working days if the company will
supply the iron. He has men and the
means for laying Eve miles of iron a
day."
The general feeling seems to be that
the money will be forthcoming and the
branches built.
