Marriage.

EVERY now and then some of the jour
nails in the large cities have spasm upon
the economy of marriage and the amount
of income necessary before matrimony can
safely be contracted. A year or two ago
the New York Times devoted column after
column to the subject for many days, and
the Inter-Ocean is now following suit.
Scores of communications from all sorts OF
people are interesting, as showing the
VARYING opinions of people on the subject,
and many are amusing and racy, ana
others are quite instructive as relating the
exneriepces of those who have tried mat
rimony, and write out what they know
about its costs and pains, and penalties
and pleasures, for the benefit OF the single.
But the object of them all is supposed to
he TO find and declare the exact point at
which the amount of income will warrant
a man in taking wife-to decide, IN
fact, upon an arbitrary amount that VIII
enable man to say: " Now l can take
and support wife"
This is what cannot be done, and so IN
the end the long discussion Of the subject
amounts to nothing, except in the gain OF
some incidental information that may be
of use to young people about to marry.
The amount of income necessary to mar
riage depends entirely upon who the con-
tracing parties are. What is their posi-
ton in life, how they were reared, what
their dispositions and tastes are, what they
expect, the circles they desire to move IN,
and the sacrifices they are willing to make
for the sake of marriage, if any sacrifices
are required.
Saws one writer: Gas life is now in the
large cities, and as things go, it would
take a brave man to marry upon an income
of 81, 200 or 81 500 year" 1t would
take nothing of the sort. fla man is Will
inc to confine himself to the kind OF life
such an income will support for the sake
of woman, and the woman consent 10
share such life with him, then the couple
will find that the income named Will pro-
cure them all the necessaries of life and
some of the luxuries. If they are happy
enourb in each others love and the pleas
ures of their mutual affection to make
them content with their lot there is no
reason why life should be unpleasant |"
them. or why they should not enjoy 1t as
we'll as though they had $1OO,Ooo year.
When young man says to awoman i
cannot marry you because my income is
but $2,OOO," he may be, all things consid-
cred earnest and exercising good Judg-
ment His own tastes and habits, the tastes
and habits of the woman, their social ties
and obligations and expectations, the expe.

A Courageous Workman.

YESTERDAY morning, about nine O'Clock,
as the boat Good Templar was passing un-
der the Ferry street bridge that spans the
Erie Canal, little daughter of the Captain
of the boat (Johnson), about eleven years
old, took it into her head to swing
from one of the iron rods of the bridge,
and before she could release herself the
boat passed on and left her suspended over
the water. Her cries attracted the atten-
ton of the workmen engaged upon Gen.
Rathbone's new foundry, but her position
was such that it seemed almost impossible
to render her any assistance, she being
about midway under the bridge, and the
only alternative left her, apparently, was
to drop into the canal and take chances OF
being rescued by some of the spectators.
This she would not do, yet it was but
question of time before she would be CON-
PEELED to relinquish her hold and drop ex-
hausted into the canal. At this juncture
relief came to the little sufferer. A man
named Michael Casey, residing on Ferry
street, seeing the crowd, had come to learn
the cause of the excitement. A glance
was sufficient With a GOODNESS worthy Of
record he divested himself of coat, hat
and boots, and getting down the side OF
the bridge took flying leap and caught
the iron rod on which the little girl was
suspended. He then "walked' hand
over hand till he reached her, and having
got his arm around her waist lowered her
down until she rested her arms on his
feet. In this way he returned to the tow.
path side of the canal and deposited his
charge in safety on the bank. 1t was
herculean task and one which would re-
fleet credit upon professional gymnast,
not to speak of the GOODNESS and courage
displayed by Mr.. Casey Albany Argus

The Body of Young GrimwOOd Found
--His Sad Fate.

On the 18th day of July last Prof. Don
aldson made a balloon ascension from
Chicago, accompanied by N. 5. Grim
wood, reporter attached to the chicago
Epening Journal. The wind carried them
ever Lake Michigan, in the direction OF
Muskegon, Mich, which point, had the
current continued in the same direction
and of like intensity, they would have
reached about two O'Clock on the morning
of the following day. About midnight ter
rible storm arose, and the wind suddenly
shifted to an opposite direction. AT that
time they were thought to be wlthn
twenty or thirty miles Of Muskegon, ana
as neither aeronauts nor the balloon had
becn seen since the impression prevailed
that they had either found watery grave
in the depths of the treacherous lake or
suffered a not less horrible fate by being
carried into the wilderness Of Northern
Michigan, where they must have inevitably
nrrished of starvation The feeling OF re-
gret at their untimely fate was universal,
and though some professed hope OF their
ultimate return. the great majority believed
they had miserably perished. an,
Such was the public feeling on the lotn
dav of August On the afternoon OF that
day tbirty.three days after the ascension,
TELEGRAM was received from Montague,
Mich announcing the finding of the BODY
of vonno Grimwood on the lake shore
between Whitehall and that place; me
discovery was made by MIR. BeckWith,
who carries the mail between Stony creek
and Montague. During his trip along the
lake shore he noticed apecullar smell ana
was attracted by it to look along the
beach in search Of the cause. "hen

"A very valuable plastic material has
been introduced in Paris, the constituents
of which are gutta-percha, oxide OF zinc,
amianthus and sulphate of baryta, in con-
junction with various colors. The gutta-
percha is first prepared and bleached by
being dissolved in Gifted naphtha, ben,
zole, or sulphuret of carbon, and when
the compound does not exhibit sufficient
elasticity, caoutchouc is added. After the
gutta- -percha is prepared and filtration
effected the solution is placed in still,
the other ingredients are added, and the
whole well stirred together. Heat is then
applied until all the volatile oil is driven
off, when the material is removed to the
desired molds. 1t is said to be suitable
for quite variety of nodded works of art,
tissues, or artificial flowers, and when
rolled into sheets forms substitute for
leather in certain cases.

riences they have been trained to, may
make marriage between them upon such
an income like suicide, or the means of
bringing upon them endless misery and
unhappiness.
A man and woman matrimonially in
clined must be their own judges of their
ability to marry upon the income that will
be theirs, and no arbitrary rule that will
cover the case of another couple will meet
their case. But-when once they resolve to
take their chances upon small income
to live as that income enables them, and
to be content to give up all else for each
other, then they may find in such mar
riage much pure happiness.-Ctnetnnati

GOING HOME.
THE way is long, my darling,

THE way is long, my darling,
The road is rough and steep,
And fastacross the evening sky
see the shadows sweep.
But oh! my love, my darling,
No i'll to us can come,
No terror turn us from the path,
For we are going home.
Your feet are tired, my darling
So tired, the tender feet;
But think, when they are there at last
How sweet the rest! how sweet!
For 10! the lamps are lighted,
And yonder cleaning dome,
Before us shining like a star,
Shall guide our footsteps home.
We've lost the flowers We gathered
So early in the morn;
And on we go with empty hands,
And garments soiled and worn.
But oh the great All-Father
viii out to meet US come,
And fairer flowers and whittier robes
There wait for us at home.
Art cold, my love, and famished?
Art faint and sore athirst?
Be patient yet little while,
And joyous as at first;
For OH the sun sets never
Within that land of bloom,
And thou shalt eat the bread of life
And drirk life's wine at home.
The wind was cold, my darling,
Adown the mountain steep,
And thick across the evening sky
The darkling shadows creep;
But oh! my love, press onward,
Whatever trials come,
For in the way the Father set
We too are going home.
