There is an old Spanish proyerb which
says, "The road BY ana BY leads to the

full of truth and meaning. 1t comes too, as

have SO repeatedly arrived at the town
Never still we are walking on in the

from day to day, hour to hour, important

ones we dare to set aside, we are in q mea-

things which it seems SO easy to neglect,
but which if unattended to fret and worry,

A MINISTER reading the first line or so OF
a chapter in the Bible, the clerk, by some
mistake, read it after him. The clergyman
read as follows: "Moses was an austerc
man, and made atonement for the sins of his
people," The clerk, who could not exactly
catch the sentence, reportedit thus: "Moscs
was an oysterman, and made ointment for
the shins of his people," Again, And the
Lord smote Job with sore boils," as, ''The
Lord smote Job with four balls"

MARRIAGE OF RELATIVES.

There is a good deal Of confusion in the
minds Of Psychologists touching the effects
OF intermarriages between relatives. In
the plant and animal creation it is noticed
that interbreeding generally has good re-
suits, and it is very certain that in some in
stances the marriage of cousins results hap
PLY in the matter Of offspring among the
human species. It is, however, quite true
that in the majority of eases the offspring of
children Of cousins are defective, and public
opinion in consequence declares against such
unions. This topic, says the Graphic, is
again being discussed on account OF the fol-
lowing statement, which has been widely
published, touching the celebrated natural
ist, Darwin:
darwin married his cousin. His eldest
son, William Darwin, is a banker at South
ampton; the second, George, took high
honors at Cambridge, and is now a fellow at
Trinity the third, Frank, who has Inherit
ed his fathers ill-health, acts as his secre-
tary the fourth. Leonard, is an officer in
the artillery, and distinguished himself as
one Of the scientific corps sent to observe
the transit Of Venus; the fifth, Horace, is

and one unmarried daughter complete the

THE other evening a traveller endeavored
to walk into an hotel, temporarily closed for
