Love in a Cottage.

A woman who writes from experience
draws this picture of love in cottage on a
small income: "a few months of ease and
comfort and then they begin to realize they
are saving very little. Retrenchment be-
gins; they move into smaller house; per-
haps sickness comes; the little money laid by
goes for drugs, and other comforts have to
be sacrificed to pay the doctors bill; little
helpless lives come calling for atten. lion. The
young mother who could easily attend to her
domestic affairs before, now finds all her
time taken up with baby. Duties that came
easy then, are irksome now, but they must
be gone through with, though the head aches
and the limbs are weary, for servant can
not be afforded. The husband, too, may
have had his dreams Of making life pleasant
for the woman of his choice, and to find him
straining every nerve to make both ends
meet; and, though his manhood cries out
against the eternal grind a drudgery he has
to witness, he is powerless to avert it. Sc

comfort. Do you think / am overdrawing
the picture? l would l were, for the sake OF
some know, and thousands do not. Lives
of sacrifice are not easy ones to live, and
though we may in all good faith think we
could live them, and not be unhappy, few o.
us are the heroines we think we are, when
the test is applied. Living on 'bread and
cheese and kisses" reads well in romance
but the reality is not pleasant. For life ever
at its best, has its cares, and husband an6
wife often encounter troubles that require al
the love and respect they have for one an
other to surmount them. f5-

A Beautiful Thought.

How few men seem to have formed con-
ception of the original dignity of their nature,
or the exalted design of their creation. Re-
garding themselves only as a creature of time,
endowed merely with animal passions and in
tellectual faculties, their projects, aims, and
expectations, are circumscribed by the mar
row outline of human life. They forget that
instability and decay are written, as with a
sunbeam upon all earthly objects-that this
world, with all its pageantry, and pomp, and
power, is crumbling into dust-that this life
is scarcely deserving of single thought, ex-
cepting as it forms the Introduction to another,
and that he alone acts a prudent or rational
part, who frames his plans with direct refer
ence to that future and endless state of being.
Sin has so blinded the understanding, and de-
based the affections, that men never fail to
invest some temporal good with fancicd per-
fiction, and idly imagine that the attainment
of it would satisfy the desires and fill the ca
pacities of the immortal spiritl The soul is
not of the earth. and they will strive in vain
to chain it to the dust. Though its native
strength has been impaired, and its purity
furnished, and its "glory changed" it willnot
always be prisoner here. Send it forth, il
you WILL to range through the whole material
universe, and like the dove dismissed from
the ark, it will return without finding single
place to rest-for it has no resting-place but

TContemporary Review.

In the curious histories of malingering
which we receive from the medical officers
of our prisons and public services, many in
stances of self-inficted injuries occur which
might doubtless be traced to the existence of
low standard of physical sensibility. A
remarkable instance came under my own
observation. many years ago, in quite a
young child, which makes it all the more
striking, as infancy is very Indifferent of
pain. A little pauper girl presented herself
one morning in the surgery of country
doctor and lisped out "a request to have a
decayed tooth extracted. The tooth, which,
for a child, was large and firmly fixed, was
taken out without the smallest expression of
suffering on the part of the child, and a
penny was given her for being so brave.
The next morning the little thing reappeared
and asked to have another tooth out, this
time pointing to perfectly sound one and
it seems probable that she would have con-
scented to the forcible extraction of the whole
set at penny per tooth.

A Curious Phase of Insanity.
TLoudon Telegraph. Jnne 2l.1


Paul Boulanger, Frenchman, aged 10
was brought up on an extradition warrant,
before Sir James Ingram, charged with
stealing 7,400f. M E. Bourdanchon appeared
on behalf of the French Government and the
evidence was interpreted by NJ. Albert. 1t
appeared from the evidence of Maurice
Moser, detective officer, Scotland Yard, that
the prisoner was sent to bank in France to
cash 7,500f. in notes. After receiving the
money he left the bank and went to wine
shop, and there he tore up four 1,000f notes
received in change. He left, and tore up
other notes to the value of 10000, putting
the fragments in his pocket. He then took
the boat to Newhaven, where he arrived at
an early hour on the morning of June 10.
He wandered about the cliffs for sometime
and then put the remainder of the money
into his stocking and buried it. He then
precipitated himself over the cliffs, falling a
distance of 20 feet, cutting a large cash in
his throat. He was removed to the infirma-
ry, where he recovered after fortnight, and
was then handed over to the police authori-
ties. He was charged before Sir James In
gram on the extradition warrent, but was
remanded for a time pending the arrival of
the necessary papers from France. He was
sent to the House of Detention, and on
Tuesday, last he tore his shirt up and en-
deavored to commit suicide by suspending
himself from the bars of the cell window.
He was, however, cut down by warder

quite exhaused and was apparently dying

Maternal Affection.

J. S. Grabel, Of this city, has a female
canine who is mother of II pups. These
pups were in his barn last night during the
heavy rain. Shortly after l o'clock Mr..
Cradle was aroused from his sleep by a
scratching at the back door. Upon getting
up he found the old dog with pup in her
mouth trying to get in. After taking them
in he went to the stable and found about six
inches of rain water over the pups nest and
one of the pups drowned. The others had
been deposited by the mother upon dry
places-one had been laid upon box, two
upon key and still another upon pile OF
bricks that was above the water. Had they
not been thus disposed all would have been
drowned, being too young and helpless to
save themselves This is another illustration
of something more than mere brute instinct

Gen. Lee Endorsed it on the 9th, and
it was returned to Adjutant Newman
too late to be made ofanyIservice. On the
I'd of April week later. the Adjutant
was captured at Fort Gregg, near
Petersburg, having this document and
other important official papers in his
possession. Of the 265 gallant Con-
federates who manned that ill-starred
fort on the morning of that day but
thirty-four survivors came out of the
bloody contest for its defense.
Major Newman says he saved his
official papers by hiding them in the
lining of his hat, where they safely lay
hid from detection during his three
months captivity on Johnson's Island,
in Lake Erie. to which point the pris-
oners were taken. This document was
drawn up very soon after the Confede-

have been scarcely any opposition from
any source to the plan proposed by
their great and honored chieftain.

SWISS GUIDEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is guide from his earliest youth, and
can scarcely recount the number of
times he has been on many of the most
dangerous peaks. His home is perhaps
a lonely village. where the snow may
fall in midsummer, and where poverty
stood godfather by his cradle. During
the warmer season his playground was
the little spot of turf that surrounded
his native cabin, and in the forest be-
hind it there were continual dangers
threatening his boy life-the wild rush
of the mountain torrent, or the sudden
fall of rocks or earth threatening TO
crush or overwhelm him. But i. is war
and not peace that makes heroes, and
SO all these dangers Of his youth in
sensibly reared him to be genuine
son of the Alps, and shaped his strength
for the dangers to be encountered
among them. His brother, perhaps,
may have been more successful, for it
is the ambition of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some peighboring town
and learned the secret Of the confec-
toners art, for the Swiss are skillful in
the preparation of sweets and pastry,
and can make delicate cup of coffee
or chocolate. But the mountain boy
never tastes these delicacies; but grows
strong among the peaks, nourished
only by the coarest fare. His ambition
is to go wherever the chamois can make
its way, and in so doing he forms a su-
hn Jan
gers. Among the precipices he knows
no such ideas as steep or rugged or
inaccessible. He is accustomed to the
grandeur and majesty Of the Alpine
world, at which we gaze with awe and
terror, so that where others tremble
with fear he is perfectly at home.
