The SanguIne Bride.
London Queen.

A not unusual kind of bride is that
sanguine creature who believes that life
La now to be all honey and butter, and
that never cloud will cast its shadow
over the sunny sky. All is so new
and it will never grow old! Holiday
time has come in perpetuity, and there
are to be no more painful lessons of duty
to learn, and no more disagreeable tasks
of self-suppression to fulfill. Tempers,
disputes peevishness, anxieties, are
buried beneath the sugar and the al
mond of the wedding-cake, and life is 10
be fairy tale, where "they live happily
for ever after" finishes the picture. All
the buttons win keep sewed to the
shirts, and there never will be pair of
socks to darn. If children come they
will be born like SO many little doves,
and give no more trouble than coyey
of cherubs fitting about the house. She
looks forward to halcyon sea which mot
the faintest ripple ia to disturb, and In
her world blight snd storms are to he
unknown. Her also we pity, poor, self
deeeiying creature--taking life as she
does at such false angle, and looking at
the dust and ashes Of inevitable decay.
or sure disappointment through specta-
eles of such deludiDg rose-color. She
has not the faintest idea that her hus-
band will ever cease to be her lover, and
she imagines that the poetic exaltation
of the eourtship-the raptures Of honey
mo0n--afe to continue far into old sge.
OF the sense OF reality she ia absolutely
destitute; and her reasoning faculties
are lost for the time In the rainbow-lined
cloud Of hope and exultation. Per-
haps her marriage has taken her from
an unoongenial home, and she is elate
and full Of hope In consequence. she
was In bondage to an uDl0yed step
neither; she was goyerness working
hard for small pay and less considers
ton (; and the love OF her husband, the
newness and independence and pleasant-
ness of her own home have oyerpowered

Reslity will wsken her up soon enough,

We'll, souring lie only one of the troubles

hives, there is apt to be some of the eggs

bombs contain even q few cells of b @

with all holes open, in one end OF dry

ther end, covering the box closely.
The quantity of sulphur should be pro-
portiened to the size of the box. For a

A Family Sayed by . Cat

Last Saturday Hiram Holdridge and

spend the Sabbath with their son-in-law,
j. b. Van Antwerp. The family and
their guests sat mp quite late, and Il was

Mr.. Van Antwerp was aroused BY the
loud mewing Of . cat that has been q

TACT, |" puss'' seemed unusually diSturbs
ed, and CONTRARY to all previous conduct
on her part, made quite "racket'' ct the
chamber door. Mr.. Van Antwerp paid
but little attention to the noise as soon
as he ascertained the cause and. fell
asleep. Shortly after O'Clock, how
ever, he was again awakened. In The
same manner, and was terrified on dis
covering that the whole house, even the
room in which he was sleeping, was
wrapped in flames. He woke his wife,
jumped from the window, with difficult

the proximity Of the flames, and then
gave the alarm to Mr.. Holdridge and
wife and other members of the house,
hold in time for them to save them
selves.-Rochester Democrat.
