jority seemed determined to make a
showing of economy and to throw upon

upon tie exE enses of the territorial leg
lslaiures. the councils being limited to
nine members and the lower branches
to eighteen members each. The COM
pensation of members is fixed at 81 per
day during the sessions. The number
and pay of legislative employees are also
minutely described with small maxi
mum limits. and the expenditures for
public printing III any territory are in
no case to exceed 50, 800 per year. The
necessity for such restrictions has been
abundantly manifested during late
years, and the commite is doubtless
entitled to credit, in this instance. for
one display of economy that is genuine.

They Met in Kansas.

Some twelve years ago, in the
bac ack-woods of Michigan. a young
man by the name Of Donovan
married a young lady, and for a
while all went well; but soon
family cares began to gall and
fret him and ne struck out for
the west, leaving his wife to care
for herself and one child. For
five years he wandered about,
and finally married again and
settled in the southern part of
this county. From this marriage
three children were born, but
last fall the woman sickened and
died, leaving him and the little
children alone upon his prairie
home. In the meantime his first
and real wife in Michigan, after
waiting five years for him to re-
turn, concluded him to be dead
and also married again, and last
winter started west with their
family of four children, one Icing
the child of the first marriage,
and by some unknown fatility
came to this county and settled
within one-half mile of Donovan,
the woman's real husband. 1t
was not long before the woman
and her truant husband met,
much to the astonishment of
each other, and now the two
families are living in one house,
the woman and her last husband
keeping house and caring for
her former husbands children.
Married at 13; choaked and
kicked down stairs in three weeks
after the orange blossoms had
been written up; a three years
voyage on the matrimonial tide,
in which there were more break
ers than smooth seas, more
clouds than sunshine; a shiver
before the point of a pistol in
the hands Of a jealous husband,
who added to the chill of the
blood by threatening to dash a
bottle Of vitrol; in the police
court for safety! This is the
summary Of a history which was
repeated in the West Side court
yesterday, before Justice Merri-
sob, by Mrs. Stevens, a l6-year-
old wife.

Girls, Put Your shoulders Bachi

Many American girls, through mere,
inattention to the way OF carrying them.
selves, unconsciously contract the habit
of bringing their shoulders forward, and
STOPPING. The position not only de-
tracts greatly from their appearance, hut
is slso very pernicious in point OF health,
The celebrated Aaron Burr, in a letter 10,
his daughter Theodesia, sfterward the
wife Of Governor Aston, OF South Caro-.
lima, wrote as follows on this subject: =
your habit Of STOPPING and bringing
your shoulders forward on to your bfeast
not only dishgures you, but is alarming
on account Of the injury to your health.
The continuance OF this vile habit will
certainly produce consumption then

sleep'sfin,e,.

Sleep obtained two hours before mid
night when the negative forces are III
operation; is the rest which most reeu.
perates the system, giving brightness III
the eye and glow to the cheek. The
difference in the appearance Of person
who habitually retifes at ten o'clock and
that Of one who sits DIP Until twelve, is
quite remarkable. The tone OF the sys-
tenn, so evident in the complexion, ths
clearness and sparkle OF tile eye, and
the softness of the lines of the features,
is, in person of health Kept at ...con-
cert pitch" by taking regular rest two
hours before twelve o'clock, and there.
by obtaining the "beauty sleep" of the
night There is heaviness OF the eye,
a sallowness OF the skin, and an absence
OF that glow in the face which renders
it fresh in exp ession and r. und in ap-
pearance, that readily distinguishes the
person who Keeps late hours.

Touching thee lightly with tenderest care;

When the bright faces of children are seen;
Never year from their youth wouldst tho'

Thou dost remember what lieth between.
