STRAISING A CHMD's MEMORY
When a child is endowed with that
most excellent thing-a good memory
common sense should teach his guardi-
ans or instructors that he must be re-
strained from overtaXing it; yet we
read that q certain lad, aged twelve
years, repeated in Sunday-school, with
out one blunder, five hundred and fifteen
verses from the Bible. What makes
the accomplishment of this feat the
more remarkable is the fact that the
poor child is usually employed during
the day, and memorized these verses by
the light of q fire built in his yard at
night. 1t may also be mentioned that
he has never attended any other than a
Sunday Now the question is:
What purpose does such a gigantic
strain upon the memory serve? The
precious boy probably repeats his lesson
as parrot might, without the least un-
derstanding that which he recites;
whereas, by thoroughly learning half a
dozen verses, he not only understands
what he learns, but reserves a useful
faculty for profitable uses.

A good looking young woman with
two children arrived at Portland, Me-, the
other day, and stated that she had left
her husband, William Jackson, in Bos-
ton, because he abused her, and that he
was without means of subsistence. Her
husband had always treated her kindly
until lately, she said, but few months
ago he conceived the idea that he would
study for the ministry, and entered
Bates College; then he commenced to
beat and abuse her, telling her she was
not stylish enough for minister's wife,
and even threatening to kill her. The
faculty learned of his conduct and ex-
pelled him from college, when he went
TO Boston, made love to his boarding
mistress, treating his wife worse than
ever, until finally she left him. He fol-
lowed her to Portland, and claimed her
of the authorities, but they refused to
put her again in his care.
Under the English Common Law,
which still exists in many States, this
woman would have been forced TO re-
turn TO this husband. And Senator Ere
linghuysen, last winter, actually in
duced the Senate to pass bill extend
ing this Common Law over all the
women of all the Territories of the
United States.

Woman Suffrage in Glastonbury.

Glastonbury, i'm this State, has pro-
dueed lust such q woman as the times
and the cause of Woman Suffrage de-
mand. Among the Taxpayers of the
town are two maiden sisters named
Smith. Their father dying, left his
farm to them, and they have been pay
ing the taxes that once he paid. At the
town meeting last week these sisters ap-
peared before those present, aud one Of
them in a very sensible and well-con-
sidered speech related her grievances.
She stated that the owners of part Of
the property of the town taxed the
owners of the other part without even
consulting them, and declared that she
and her sister ''canuot see any justice,
any right, or any reason in this thing"
Are we not as far-seeing,n she asked
'and do we not manage our own affairs,
as far as we are permitted by the laws,
as well as they do? Is it any more just
to take a woman's property without her
consent than il is TO take mans prop
erty without his CONSENT" And so she
went on, urging the general principles
of the case in a manner that was both
/ forcible and unanswerable, and must
have made powerful impression.
She hit them very hard, too, when
she SAID: I'VE nave every IeaSOu ~
/ think that the officers of the town add
what they please to our taxes" SlOC
having been added to their homestead
last year, without any notice, and the
same amount to two willows in theil
neighborhood who cannot work theil
land, while not q man who could work
his land had his property raised, "for he
could find il out and a woman could
not" The taX-cOllector had called fol
/ $500 a few days before, and they told
him they "would prefer to wait till we
had heard by the town, for if they gave
no hope of voting, we wanted them tC
sell our farm for the taxes, for it was but
reasonable, if they owned ii, to get theil
taxes from tive could not; and We
wished they would begin at the east enc
and come into the street, for we wanted
] to save our homestead while we lived,
and thought it would last us.

together with heavy iron castings, on the Col
onizstion building, corner Ak street and the
avenue, from some cause broke loose and fell
10 the pavement below, where II was lshed in
pieces. DR.. Darby was seated in an arm chair
by the door of his drug store, and the whole
mass-some half a ton in weight-csne down,
carrying away his awning, tearing out the iron
frame, all falling In mass OF ruins around
him, and strange 10 state, the doctor escaped
uDbArmed. A great excitement followed, and
hundreds rushed to the spot, expecting that
some one had been killed. The doctor remained
in his seat, with q section OF the castiron, some
i've feet in length, resting against his chair,
which in careening over broke the glass in the
door within a few inches OF his head. The es-
cape WAS miraculous, and the doctor was 30
oyerjoyed at his good fortune that he went
straight over TO Dubants, and, it is ssid, drank
Eve mint juleps, with only breath between
