 A Matrimonial Romance.


 Some months since well-to-do farmer residing near Geneva, in New York State, having lived in single blessedness until the snows of over forty winters had fallen upon his defenseless head, sud- denly concluded that it "was not good for man to live alone.' After arriving at this most sensible and correct conclu- sion, and not being able in his own im- mediate neighborhood to find conge- nial partner with whom he would be willing te risk the tortuous and intricate journey of life, he advertised in prom inent jonrnal requesting oorrespon- dence with some heart-free maiden with a view to matrimony. He was soon after overwhelmed with epistles from all quar- ters of the country, and was almost de- mented at the thought of the terrible mental effort to be expended in answer ing them. He selected from the num- Der, however, one, the style and chiro- graphy of which pleased him greatly, and thereupon mailed responsive com. munication to a young lady, and if we are correctly informed, the address was Warwick, Orange county, N. Y. A fur ther correspondence effected mutual understanding as to social and pecuniary positions, and an interchange of photo graphs. The lady was pleased, the gen. tleman delighted. The parties met fol the first time few days since not fal from Port Jervis, and were united imme- diately in the holy bonds of natrimony. Warwick will naturally deplore the loss of one of it's fairest daughters Geneva will rejoice in beautiful and blooming bride, and the farmers home will be nc longer desolate. ''.''

Flour Mills.

A correspondent of the London MiSler states, as the result of some thirty years experience with four mills, that he has seen and known many mill fires, the ma jority of which have taken place in the night, and most of them after the mills have shut down several hours, many of these breaking out of Sunday morn ing, and even as late as the evening, or after midnight--that is, on Monday morning. The cause of such long in terval he attributes. to the smeuldering of dust around some hot bearing until it has assumed body of fire and charred wood, when a slight draught produces g flame. which, before being noticed, is spread too far to be stopped, the mill and it's contents Incoming heap oi ruins. The remedy for this, of course, is an inspection of all the bearings, be. fore looking up at night.

hungry mother and children, and then kissed them all around good night. ''' k Hollis's neighbors speak of him in the best terms. The tailor who lived in the same house would not believe that his fellow lodger had stolen Miss Prange's pocketbook until Mrs. Hollis admitted it. The tailor said that he had left money and goods repeatedly with Hollis, and that everything was returned just as Hollis received it. Miss Prange thinks that Hollis was contemplating suicide when she first saw him. Hollis was for merly stevedore. -.1a.s5aaun .e..s..sal
 The next morning Hollis was arraigned before the Police Justice. Miss Prange appeared in Court, and interceded for the prisoner. She told the story of the prisoners despair, and of the destitution of his family, and prayed that he might not be punished. The scene in Court was most affecting one, as Miss Prange and the prisoner told their stories. The Court tempered justice with mercy, and released the prisoner, under a suspen- sion of sentence. His relatives and friends promised to care for his family and to find him employment. ..t

The Philosophers Stone.

|
 An old gentleman, who had been led away by the folly of finding the philoso- pher's stone and who had given years to the vain search, having one day left his laboratory open, his servant took the opportunity in the absence to attempt discovering the objects of his studies. Among other things her attention was engaged by 8 furnace full of fire,7 in which were several substances thrown in under a certain aspect and disposition of the planets. Curiosity induced her to stir and try to bring out the materials with very large and handsome silver spoon that was used at table, which, to her surprise. melted, and fell to the bottom eff the furnace. Terrified at the circumstance she flew out of the room.
 Her master soon afterward returned home; and, on extinguishing his chemical fire, was astonished and de- lighted to see mass of silver in his furnace, and imagined he had proved successful in the object of his researches, and might soon make his fortune by converting the baser into the purer and more valuable metals; and on the strength of this idea, invited @ large company the next day to dinner, for the purpose of acquainting them of his good fortune. FFh
 He did not sleep all night, as may easily be imagined, for joy, and the next day had his table furnished in the most sumptuous manner. His friends came, when informed of his success, and even those who were incredulous congratu- lated him on the occasion. But while he was indulging himself during dinner time in the effusions of triumph, he missed his silver tablespoon. His servant was asked where it was, and she answered with equivocation and trembling Upon insisting, however, to know, she. con fessed that curiosity had induced her to attempt extracting several of the sub- stances contained in the furnace with it, and that it had melted out of her hand. Her master turned pale and tainted; the harmony of the day was of course destroyed, and thus ended the discovery of the philosophers stone.'g ledl Hs

He Heard Too Much.

Lewis Gaylord Clark, the editor, of the Knickerbocker Magazine, used to tell the following story with great delight !:
 Some two miles up the river from St Johnsbury, Vermont, is primitive sort of little village called "The Centre. !" Here not long since the rustic youth of the vicinity congregated for a dance, "and dance they did," said our inform ant, "with an unction unknown to your city bellies and beaux." One interesting young man, having imblbed rather too freely became t'fatigued " in the course of the evening, and wisely concluded to retire for short rest. '',. a'-.+ s'.
 A door aiar near the dancing hall re- vealed, inyitingly, glimpse of com- fortable bed, of which he took posses sion. with prospect of an undisturbed "snooze." '''@
 It happened, howbeit, that this was the ladies' " withdrawing room" and no sooner had he closed his eyes than a pair of blooming damsels came in from the hall and began adjusting their disorder ed ringlets, the dim light of the tallow candle not disclosing the tenant of the bed. The girls had tongues Qike most of their sex) which ran on in this wise:
 "What nice dance we're having Have you heard anybody say anything about me, Jane?@ .-......s. ......... ..
 La, yes, Sally Jim Brown says he never see you look so handsome as you do tonight. Have you heard anybody say anything about me %
 "About you why, sartin; I heard Joe Flint tell Sam Jones that you were the prettiest dressed girl in the room.
 Whereupon the dear things chuckled, fixed up little more, and made off to- ward the ballroom. They had hardly reached the door, when our half-con. scious friend raised himself upon his ell bow, and quite intelligibly, though slow. ly, inquired: .Es. ge .s..... .,,g... ,l. .,.... .o" Have you heard anybody say any, thing about me, gals ?' ., inn. ,.....

Arctic Exploration. |

The story of Arctic explorations, says "a London paper, is always an ontrancing one, even when told with the dry 'cufft- ness of log-book., It is g story Of bat tie in it's intensest forms-of brave men called upon to exercise the ,sternest for ttude, and unceasing watchfulness and ingenuity, to meet andn overcome the giant forces of nature in it's most inhos. pitable moods. Many glorious Ariufnphs are inscribed upon its pages, and also sad records of defeat and death But whether the feeling called up be pride or sorrow, the same absorbing interest attaches to the story, especially; when the reader IS an EngIishman. America has gained honor by her Arctic explora- tions, and Austria, Germany and Sweden have left traces of their nationalities in the frozen North but Englishmen have always regarded the work as, their own peculiar heritage, bequeathed them by the long line of Arctic adventurers, from Davis, Frobisher, Hudson and Bafin down to the ill-fated Franklin. Ger tainly the loss sustained in the last named expedition chilled our ardor for many years, but the work was only sus- pended. For years after the mysterious disappearance of the Erebus and Terror, English interest in Arctic exploration was clouded oyer. Expedition after ex7 petition went out, but the object of each was primarily to clear up the mystery in which Franklin's fate was wrapped, and when the lonely little Fox, equipped by Lady Franklin, found the fatal paper on King Williams Land, which told of the abandonment of the Erebus and Terror, the shock and disappointment to the na. tion were such that any further attempts at Arctic exploration on the part of Eng land were postponed indefinitely. In- deed the special discovery Franklin had in yiew-the discovery of the Northwest passage-has never since been attempted and probably never will be. But through all this long period the Royal Geo graphical Society never lost heart. Year AG0I JOta1 6uOOOSS1SOA EAOSANOAoS '. A"vV urged that another attempt should be made to reach the Pole, and at last their perseverance met with it's reward. Just thirty years after the sailing of the Ere bus and Terror, Captain Mares cast of from the dockyard wharf at Portsmouth on board H. M. s. Alert, with the Dis covery as hls consort. The general plan of operations was laid down in Captain Mares sailing instructions from the Ad- miralty, the main task set before him being the attainment of the highest pos sible northern latitude. There were other geographical and scientific ob- iects, but the first and principal one was to reach the North Pole if possible. As all the world now knows, Captain Mares returned without accomplishing that ob- lect, but he did succeed in reaching g higher northern latitude than any of his predecessors. ... .,..-..'s.....,..',,

The India Troops.

An English officer who served with a Sikh regiment during the East Indian mutiny writes to the London Daily Ne,0s '' During the campaign of 1S45- 46 in India, and again in 1857-49, and during the mutiny, no prisoners were made. I was much disgusted on one oc- casion, in 1857, to find that while march ing up by street in Delhi, two days after the assault, some Sikhs of my reg iment had broken open door, and be- fore could interfere mercilessly slaugh- tered in cold blood two old men and three women and child. I was at- tracted by their screams, and rushed in too late to save life. These were newly raised levies, it is true, but I imagine that no sikhs or Gheorkas can be trust ed on these occasions; and the same may be said of all native troops. They make no prisoners at least I never saw one during four campaigns in India"

Insanity and Excess.

The deeply significant statistics given, says an exchange, showing the steady increase of insanity among our popula- tion are meat for the most thoughtful who consider the relations of modern society. From these must be drawn the inevitable inference that the sharp attri- tion of modern life, the higher and higher pressure at which the human machine is driven, tends to wear out the mental before the other vital functions. Much of our progress is in the direction of sparing the exertion of the body, but at every new step fresh demands are made upon the mind. Business becomes more complex and more interdependent, and with this complexity unexpected and unforeseeable reverses are brought which tax the mental balance as much as the balance at the bankers. Alcoholic stimulants, not taken for the more or less of pleasurable exhilaration that they give, but as fuel for the wearied brain in It's terrible race, play their part in hast ening mental decay. Other excesses assist. Self-denia1 loses its rGison d'etre in an age ignorantly materialistic. The conservation of all forces by their regulated expenditure, paradoxical as it may seem, is true materialism applied to life. To live, one must expend force, but expenditure may become so prodigal that natural recuperation is impossible, and the path is downward all the way. That insanity is sweeping in rich and poor alike shows how the strain of mod. ern life tells all along the social line. A life of excess in one generation may not produce it's lunatic until the next gen. cration. When the immense and com- plex causes of this terrible disease are considered, the prospect of relief seems almost hopeless. Yet from the causes only can this cure be indicated. Whatever tends to render bodies healthier will tend to decrease the percentage of ln. sanity. That is the broad ground. The rich have the remedy in their own hands, but for the poor all that can be done must be done by their more fortunate brothers and sisters. Let them be less hived in the cities :; let the baneful be less within their reach and the profitable be made moro attractive for them. They must in many instances be helped in their own despite.

 "Go away l" sad Barbara, indignant ly. -
 She had cried until her eyelashes were all glittering and her cheeks stained with tears to say nothing of the crumpled state of her sash ribbon and white nus lin dress, and now she sat crouched un- der the shadow of the great towering almond bush, as if she would fain retreat utterly out Of the world of sight and hearing.
 Captain Severn stood immovable be- fore her, with folded arms and question ing Spanish eyes. ...........-,-..............-

 "How can I ever pardon you ?" flashed out Barbara. "You have imposed upon me, you have practiced on my creduity. :"
 You asked me to help you gather strawberries-and I helped you. -'-
 "You allowed me to suppose that you were Squire Dallas's hired man"
 :" I claimed no identity, one way or the other" pleaded Captain Severn. l was trying to find my way by short cut across the fields to your fether's house, and sat down under the oak tree to rest. And when you called mel came, like true knight of old. Now if you can convict me of any serious offense in all this, stand ready to abide the con sequences. "'3s.s.ss..4 sq..ss ..,..s.. ... .E... !"

"Little Barbara" said Captain Se- vern, falling on his knees, as if it were the most natural and conventional thing in the world to do, twill you forgive me?''
 And what could Barbara say but 'Yesg' Captain Severn insisted upon his strawberry tart that evening, according to agreement, and they ate it together, he and Barbara, like two school-chil- dren, out on the lawn, while Maude yawned behind book, and Iisette acidly wondered "what on earth Captain &c., vern could find to amuse him in tn @ chatter of child like Barbara. i., gs.
