flowers are the luxaries Of Russians in
winter. The hoases overflow with them
flowers receive you AT the door, and GO
with you up the stairway; Irish iviss fes-
toon bslusters; jsrdiniers adorn the land
ings on every floor. In the embrasure of
the Windows bananas spread out their
broad silken leaves; TALBOT palms, mag
nolias, camelias, growing. like trees,
mingle their blossoms with the gilded
v0lutes of the cornices; orchids hover
like butterflies around lamp shades Of
crystal, porcelain and curiously wrought
terra-cOtta. From the horn shaped vases
of Japanese porcelain or Bohemian glass,
placed in the center of a table or at the
corner of sideboard, spring sheaves of
superb exotics. And all this floral splen-
dor thrives as in q dollhouse. Every
breath Of cold air is carefully excluded.
The windows are invariably double, and
the space between the sashes is covered
with layer of fine sand, designed to alb
sorb moisture aud prevent the frost from
silvering the panes. Twisted horns of
paper containing salt are set in it, and
sometimes the sand il concealed by a
bed of moss. There are no outside shut.
tiers or blinds, for they would be useless,
since the windows remain closed all the
winter, being carefully filled in around
the edges with kind Of cement. Heavy
curtaius of rich material still further
deaden the effect of the cold upon the
glass. Shivering in the street, you are at
the pole; within doors, you are trans
ported to the tropics.

LOOSE MARRIAGE BONDs.-We do not
know whether it is from carelessness or
unskilfulness on the part of clergymen
in tying matrimonial knots, that SO many
Of the knots show tendency to unite
themselves, but during the last six OF
eight months this tendency has been seen
in an altogether unusual and alarming
number Of cases.
The lamentable looseness with which
the marriage bonds are worn in such
cases rs these suggests some fault, and
demands remedy, After all. however,
in this matter of marriages that will not
stick, the trouble is with young persons
who approach marriage good deal more
lightly than is wise Tor them, or whole
some for the public; or Father the fault is
with our customs with respect to court
ship and marriage. Ii we had deliber-
ately planned to make hA.ty and uncon-
siier-i msrTisges common, We could
scarcely hsve accomplished the end more
