A Poets Wife.

A writer in the London AthenIum,
referring to the recent death OF the wld'
ow of Walter Savage Landor, says: Ian
dor could never really feel that he was
old or getting old; this, very likely, is the
peculiar privilege OF genius.
The good are ever young, says Marie
de MeTanie to Philip Augustus, in Dr..
Marstons fine play. But, unfortunately
retty girls, as a rule, are precisely those
who never can take that view OF matters.
Landor and his wife had the inevitable
family quarrels and made them up. In
deed, seeing how little Of true sympathy
there was between them, they really seem
to have been, for long time, exceedingly
forbearing with each other. Most peo-
pie who knew Mrs. Landor as young
woman speak of her amiability and sweet
charm of manner. Il must do this little
wife the justice, said Robert Lander in
one of his letters, to say that | saw much
Of her about three years after her mar
riage during a long journey through
France and Italy, and that left her with
regret and pity And even Armitage
Brown, in the letter justifying Landor,
written to Landor at Landor's request,
and which is manitestly biased, speaks of
her kindness and gracious hospitality to
himself. But it is pity that women can
not, for he comfort Of men who never
grow old, remain pretty girls during life.
Still, the family jars seem never to have
been serious till 1914. when Landor, con-
sidering it necessary to depart from Eng
land, and being met with objections to
the step from his wife, a quarrel ensued,
in which his wife, in the presence Of her
younger sister, struck home a kind of blow
that was sure to rankle in his breast till
the day of his death; she twittedEpicurus
with the disparity between their ages! 1t
was absolutely impossible that Landor,
whose passion for youth was so strong
and so deep, could ever forgive this; he
never did. They afterward, TO be sure,
came together again, and children were
born to them, but such sore could never
be healed, and, after quarrels innumer-
able, Landor left her, ard not all the per-
suasions of such kind and considerate
friends as he had could induce him to see
her again. The issue OF the marriage
consisted Of one daughter and three sons.
The eldest Of these, Arnold Savage Lam
dor, is now Of Ispley Court, War wick
shire.

Saw His Error.

The following inciden5 is related of
the late Judge Barnard, who, though
sometimes irritable ON the bench, re-
gretted more than any one else his hasty
words and deeds at such times. A young
lawyer, since then elected to Congress,
when a young man just arrived in the
city, once laid some papers before the
Judge. He glanced at them and tossed
them back to the young lawyer.
"Your Honor, what is the matter with
these papers4" asked the lawyer.
"They're not properly drawn up," said
the Judge.
"What is wrong about them ?" the
young lawyer inquired.
"If you don't know, 1 can't tell" the
Judge responded. eff 1 had tyro in
my Office who couldn't draw up better
papers than those, I'd throw him out on
the sidewalk"
The words were heard by crowded
courtroom. Much mortified, the lawyer
took his leave. A week afterward he
was sitting in the same courtroom, and
the Judge said: "Mr. -, will you step
to the bench for moment, if you pleaseP
The gentleman did so, and the spectators
wondered what was coming. "Last
Monday" the Judge began, ''you laid
some papers before me, which / errone-
ously pronounced incorrect, and l acted
like scoundrel. | am ashamed OF it,
and as l grossly insulted you in open
court, / want to tender you an apology
in open court. | beg your pardon"

Home Kindness.

Home life is the sure test of character.
Let a husband be cross and surly, and
the wife grows cold and unamiable. The
children grow up saucy and savage as
young bears. The father becomes callous,
peevish, hard, kind of two-legged brute
with clothes on. The wife bristles in
self-defense. They develop an unnatural
growth, and the house is haunted by
ugliness and domestic brawls. This is
not what the family circle should be. If
one must be rude to any, let it be to
some one he does not love--not to wife,
sister, brother or parent. Let one of our
loved ones be taken away, and memory
recalls thousand sayings to regret.
Death quickens recollection painfully.
The grave cannot hide the white faces of
those who sleep. The coffin and the
green ground are cruel magnets. They
draw us farther than we would 60. They
force US to remember A man never
sees so far into human life as when he
looks over wife OR mothers grave. His
eyes get wondrous clear then, and he sees
as never before, what it is to love and
be loved; what it is to injure the feelings
OF the loved. 1t is pitiable picture Of
human weakness when those we love
best are treated worst.

A Just View.

So numerous and shocking are the
possible disabilities which marrigage
would entail upon a sensitive and high
spirited woman under the law of po-
lygamy, that it is hard TO believe any
woman would marry under such circum,
stances, except when duped by false
sense Of religious obligation. A prac-
tical evidence of the loss of wifely inde-
pendence is shown in the fact that the
right of dover has already been abolished
in Utah, where wife has no claim
whatever on the property of her hus,
band. Hence hundreds of plural
wives" of men in comfortable circum-
stances do in Utah live alone and sup
port themselves by their own unassisted
efforts. No wonder the priesthood have
found it necessary to teach the women
that earthly marriage is essential to
eternal felicity
In Utah, as a partial remedy for the
social conflicts caused by this Internal in
stitution, marriages can be dissolved by
either party at nominal cost. But free
divorce is almost equally injurious to
women. For if marriage is dissoluble
at the will of the wife it must be equally
so at the will of the husband But to
women marriage means maternity, and
maternity means life devoted to the
nurture and care of children, which is a
life incompatible with thesuccess orprose-
cution of any other industrial pursuit
To ask mother to earn the means of
support for herself and her children is
simply to ask her to do double duty, to
be in two places at the same time. AS a
rule she cannot do both. The majority
Of men and women, having in their
youth little or no accumulated property,
q married woman in most cases must re-
ceive her support either from one man
or from the public. II her husband is
under permanent and exclusive legal
and moral obligation to provide that
support, the wife still remains an indie.
pendent person, because she is q partner
in the matrimonial firm. His property
is liable for her uses; his accumulations
if she survive him, become in part her
own, and the remainder goes to her
children.

Why He Was Insane.

Our local poet came into the sanctum
yesterday with a wild look in his eye, and
asked OUT opinion concerning the easiest
method of committing suicide. We ques.
toned him and he finally divulged the
cause Of his sorrow.
II sent poem to literary paper" /"
said he. Here is one of the verses"
and he handed US slip OF paper, which
read
Twas all my life to sweetly gaze
Into those liquid eyes,
And oft turned away my head
To heave internal sighs.
"Very pretty" said we, In a consoling
manner, There is nothing in that to
cause one to feel bad"
"No-o-o," he blubbered, "but this is
the way il was printed" and he passed
over printed slip from some newspaper,
which ran as follows:
Twas all my life to sweetly gaze
Into those liquid eyes,
And oft L turned away, and had
Heaves of internal size.
That's what's killing me-" said he, in
frenzy. That's what's sucking my life
away, like child at an orange. 'Heaves
of internal sizeI Oh! I'm going crazyp'
and the poor fellow only stopped to ask
for cigar ere he bolted out the door.

COLUMBUS, o., May IA. = About
three weeks ago the body of an UNI
known man was found in the river
near billiard station. The body was
considerably bruised and had a sus.
pender tied around the neck, and had
heavy stones in the pockets.
A coroner's jury returned a verdict
of suicide. Parties resident have
reason to believe the dead man was
Isaac Neff, of Ovilla, Ind, a justice
Of the peace who, after collecting 5000
here, started for Hillard in a buggy
with another man. Since that time
Neff has been missing, and it is feared
that he was murdered and thrown in
the river. Owing to the absence Of
the coroner the body cannot be dis.
inferred to prove the truth or falsity
Of the suspicious of friends.
