The Keynote o + Married Life.

FOrcbcarancc is the key notc Of u'ar-
riel life. There can be- no great dis
cord, there can be no large divcrgeh-
ces from tunefulncss, SO long as the
husband forbears and the wife fOrbears.
Now this cannot bo attained without
some labor. Results are approached
gradually in character, as they arc in
making a sand hill. 1t is grain upon
grain, shovclful upon shoyclful, and
load upon load, that makes tho mound
to rise. So results Of char acter come
gradually. An act at this time, deed

day, repeated a month hence, and SO
on, till at last you find there is ridge
between you or your wifc's or husbands

Liabilities OF Landlords.

In case recently tried at Heading,
Pa, against 4 landlord for ejectiug q
traveller from his hO:cl, Judge Sussa-
INN, in charging the jury, said that
ordinarily landlords Of hotels must
keep guests over night, especially after
the price for lodging has been tender
cd. On account Of different grades Of
hotels the prices cannot DO regulated
by any fixed rule, and must be fixed
at the discretion Of the landlords and
if the prices don't sui: the guests, they
have no other way than to leave, so
long as the charges arc reasonable
Unreasonable charges would not shield
the landlord.
lfu person goes into hotel and Of
fcrs uu ordinary price and behaves
himself, and the landlord puts him out,
and damages result, the landlord eau
be indicted, and he can DO made 10 pay
the damages. II a guest does not be-
have himself, although there may be
room in tho hotel, the landlord can
eject him. If a landlord could not
have such q control over his place, our
hotels would be unsafe places for res.

lent, or don't comply with the rules Of
the house, and the landlord has the
same control in this respect as any per-
sou has in his own private house, and
tho landlord can uso as much force as
is actually necessary.
The jury in the case referred to, al
ter being out about an hour, returned
verdict for the landlord, it being
shown that he had charged only fair
rate which tho traveller refused to pay.

Have q Good Cry.

A French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages of groan-
ing and crying in general, and espcci.
ally during surgical Operations. He
contends that grOauiug and crying arc
two grand operations by which nature
aIloJs anguish that those patients who
give way to their natural feelings, more
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy Of man to bcIray such sym
toms of cowardico as either to groan or
cry. He tells of a man who reduced
bis pulse from ono hundred and twcn-
ty.six to sixty in tho course of 4 few
hours by giving full vent to bis emo.
tions. IfpcOplc arc at all unhappy
abOu. anything, let them go to their
rooomS and comfort themselves with
loud boo.hoo. and they will feel 4 hun
drcd per cent better aftcrward. In ac-
cordunce with the above, tho crying Of
children should not be too greatly dis
couragcd. Ifiti is systematically re-
pressed, tho result may be St. Tutus's
dance, epilcptic fits, or some other dis
ease Of the nervous system. What is
natural is nearly always useful and
aothiug eau bo moro natural than tho
crying Of children when anything oc.
ours to give them either physical or
mental pain.

a Beautiful Young Lady Dies After
II Surgical Operation In
Maryland.

BALTIMORE, August 81 Tho death
Of Miss Ida V. Drundh aged twenty
three. which followed surgical opera
ton at tho Maryland University Hos
pital yesterday, has brought to light
singular romance in real liio. Shc
was the daughter Of James Branch.
residing near Smithfcld, Islo Of Wight
county, Va. aud possessed c1traordi-
nary beauty, aud was beside, young
lady Of culture and refinement. Sho
was tho belle Of tho village, and had
many admirers.
Among others who sought her hand
was Mr.. Ferguson, tho son Of
ueishboring farmer, to whom with
the consent Of her father Ida became
betrothcl. In January last Ger tain
indications ID tho appearance of Miss
Branch aroused suspicion on the part
of her father that the intimacy between
them had been ofau improper oharac-
ter, and Mr.. Branch communicated
his suspicion to his daughter. Tho
latter earnestly denied tho inputution
and solcmnly protested that her init
macy had not exceeded that Of tho
strictcst propricty. His suspicious
were not allayel, but subsequently,
they were again aroused, and Miss
Branch was sent to her sister, Mrs.
Ferguson, at Charlottesville. To
this lady Miss Branch made an equally
positive denial, but her physical conli-
ton was such that her father deemed
q medical examination necessary. IIo
visited Charlottesville, aud tho physi.
clan, after an examination confirmed
his suspicious. Notwithstanding this
sue again protested her innocence, and
an examination by another ply
sician revealed the presence Of % oy.
arian tumor. DR.. Randolph, who
made this discovery, recommended her
removal 10 Baltimore for medical
treatment. She arrived here on tho
18th inst, and Professor Johnston and
other eminent physicians comprising
tho faculty Of the MARYLAND UuiYcrsi,
y.
Tho tumor grew so rapidly that an
operation was found necessary. Sho
was assured that the tumor would result
in death in q few, mouths while the op-
Grafton might possibly save her life. Sho
readily assentcd. requesting that ii she
died post mOrtcm might be uale in
order to establish her purity and inno-
cencc. The operation was performed
on Friday, aud the tumor, when re-
moved, was found to DO of tue extra
ordinary weight Of fforty.four pounds.
She rallied slightly, but subsequent
ly sank, and death Gnsued on Saturday
afternoon. It was discovered that de-
composition had begun before the tu-
NOR was removed. md that shO could
not in uay case hive lived moro than
day or two. Her remains wero taken
to Virginia for burial.

from what he said TO the committee that he and tho
