AND THIS COUPLE WAS FROM MAINE.-A
recent wedding in East Cambridge was bitter
satire upon the binding nature of the marriage
tie. The contracting parties were natives of
the eastern part of this state and some ten years
ago, when they were scarcely beyond childhood,
they were married. They removed to Chicago,
but their life was not smooth one, and in the
course of very few years the wife returned to
her friends in this state, leaving her husband
in Chicago. He obtained divorce from her
on the ground of 3ese rtion, and soon after mar
ried again. At about the same time his first
wife's family removed to Cambridge and there
she was supposed by her new acquaintance
never to have been married, as she had resum-
ed her maiden name and no intimation was
given that she had ever exchanged it. Last
summer her engagement to young man in
Boston was announced, and at about the same
time her former husband obtained divorce
from his second wife. He came east during the
fall, met his first wife and on Thanksgiving
day was married to her.

SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. s2.
The Foundatlon-Points in Astronomy.

III. b. writes to the Hartford Times as fol-
lows: Ii we look at the planet Mars at or about
this time, we will see it on the first meridian of
the heavens. Now is good time to locate and
learn the position of this meridian. At point
15o north of the planet is the star Algenib, and
about $50 from this star, due north, is the star
Alpherat. These two stars are on the east side
of the Great Square of Pegasus. Continue
nearly 800 due north, and we come to the bright
star Caph, In Cassopeia. Thence on the same
line 800 to the North Star (Polaris). This line
around the first heavens constitutes the fl st
meridian; and to US, at the time mentioned
would appear to run due north and south The
position OF Mars is also exactly ON the Eoua-
Tor OF the heavens-which is another Imaginary
line crossing the first meridian at right angles.
aud enc1rcling the heavens east and west It ia
also on the ecliptic, which is the path of the
earth and other planets around the sun, and it
Is at the vernal equinox. So here is fine
starting point to know something about
astronomy. While looking at Mars and locat.
lag the first meridian, it may be we'll to notice
the planet Saturn, pale star little to the
southwest OF Mars, about sixteen degrees, and
notice now far east Mars has travelled since
the beautiful conjunction of those planets was
noticed, some four weeks since. And then.
looking south of Saturn about twenty degrees
we see the bright star Fomalhaust-a nautical
star In the nose of the southern fish pisces
Australis.) AS before said, Mars is now cross.
1ng the equator of the heavens, bearing a little
to the north and east, and will soon reach an
Interesting region of stars. So we will kee n
track of it for awhile, and say some thing more
at another time.
