NeMly.Marrled Couples.

1t Is the happiest and most yirtuous
state Of society in which the husband
and wife set out together, make their
property together, and, with perfect
sympathy of soul, graduate all their
expenses, plans, calculations and de-
sires, with reference to their present
means and to their future and common
interest.
Nothing delights man more than to
enter the neat little tenement of two
young people who, within perhaps two
or three years, without any resources
but their knowledge OF industry, have
Joined l..art ard hand, and engaged to
share together the responsibilities, du-
ties, interests, trials and pleasures OF
life. The industrious wife is cheerfully
employing her own hands in domestic
duties, putting her house in order,
mendinG her husbands clothes, or Pre-
pairing the dinner, while perhaps the
little darling sits prattling on the
floor, or lies sleeping in the cradle, and
everything seems preparing TO welcome
the happiest of husbands and the best
Of fathers when he shall come homo
from his toll to enjoy the sweets OF ibis
paradise.
This is the true domestic pleasure.
Health, contentment. love, abundance,
ana bright prospects are all here. But
it has become prevalent sentiment
that man must acquire his fortune
before he marries, that the wife must
have no sympathy nor share with him
in the pursuit Of tin which most OF
he pleasure truly consists-and the
young married people must set out
with as large and expensive an estab-
li-hment as is becoming those who have
been welded for twenty year,.
This is very unhappy; 1t fills the COM
munity with bachelors, who are waiting
to make their fortunes, endangering
virtue, promoting vice; it destroys the
true economy and design of the do
nestle institution, and 1t promotes idle
ness and ineiliciency among females, who
are expecting to be taken up by For
tune and passively sustained without
any care or concern on their part; and
thus many wife becomes, az a gentle.

Making Restitution.

A strange feature in the double murder
IN Faubourg st. Honore, just now the
talk of Paris, is the fact that the MUIR
dered thought fit to write to the widow
of his master and victim to inform her
that it was only for the sake Of robbery
that he committed the crime. 81 have
taken about ESQ.," he says in conclusion,
"with which money mean to make my
fortune, and pledge myself to return it
to you some day" Extraordinary as the
scruple may look this is not the first
time that a murderer, without appar-
emily feeling much remorse for the deed
in itself, had given signs of being quite
awake to the pecuniary liability which
itentails. Thus, the Marquis de Salverte,
whose father was murdered at Santo
Domingo about quarter of century
ago, received by post, after the lapse of
few years, sum of $4,000, with no
tice that it WIS restitution OF the
amount robbed, from the murderer hiDl'
self, who had mide his fortune, but de-
clined to give h'sname and address In
another case arisian Senator was for
years in receipt of a monthly instalment
of f8 from London, the sender of which
was unknown, with notice that the
amount would be forthcoming to COM
plete the payment of sum of $4,000
francs, robbed from one of his uncles
after murder. What is stranger still
the receiver knew of no relation of his
who had ever been, or was likely to have
been murdered.

The Scorpions Suicide.

Do animals ever commit suicide2 A
dog is said to have done so by drown
ing,-perhaps on no stronger evidence
than that which authenticated Capt,
Marrvat's anecdotes. Doubts have been
thrown on the sanity of the cat which
hanged herself in the fork between two
branches. The suicidal character of the
scorpion, however, is reaGserted by 3
correspondent of Nature. We have all
heard how the scorpion, if surrounded
by circle of fire, ruus its sting into its
own head and expires. Probably most
of us have classed this scorpion with
BenvenutO Cellini's celebrated salaman.

birth to wild geese. Mr.. Allen Thorn.
son, however, has friend who has
often seen scorpions sting tbemselve,
to death at Lucca. When the insect is
caught, he is put in a glass tumbler
till dark. A light is then exhibited,
whereupon the scorpion first loses his
head with excitement, and then "brings
his rccurved-sting down upon it, and
pierce. it forcjbly." In moment his
sorrows are over and "his excitement
amounting to despair" ceases to ves
him. It's odd that the suicidal mania
should be hereditary in scorpions, be.
cause, of course, the dead ones cannot
have reported to the survivors that the
experiment is successful, while suicide
is lar from complying with Darwinian
conditions, and favoring the persistence
of tine species The alternate theory
could be best put in the words of the
Ettrick Shepherd, when accounting foi
the reported visit of a ghost to hii
grandmother, "May be my grand.

Allen Thompson has no doubt about
the veracity of his informant

reaching Antl.CrueIry.

At the convention of Associations for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
held in Gotha, Germany, the character
istically German suggestion was made,
and was adopted by the convention as
one of the resolutions, that 1t is better
to make men humane, and thus DESTROYS
of their own accord of treating the brute
creation kindly, than, having been per-
mitted to become cruel, to endeavOr to
deter them from the infection of cruel
ties by penal laws; and, therefore, going
to the root of things, that general
plan should be devised for instilling
into children in all the schools Of the
country at an early age, feelings Of gen;
tleness and humanity toward the lower
animals, to which end the cooperation
of teachers should be sought. Associ'
atoms in eighty.four differently cities
were represented in the convention.

A Goose Withssa History.
West Chester pa Republican,

A reporter of the Republican had the
following related to him day or two
ago by party who knew it to be true.
Something over year ago a young girl
of West Bradford Township, about
twelve years of age, had presented to
her a goose egg by neighbor where
she was visiting. She carried it home
and set it under hen and Matched out
young gosling of the masculine gender.
She married Mr.. Scott, and they
resided on the farm now occupied by
Caleb Pennock, West Bradford. The
old ganderlived, fourished and furnished
feathers for a number of beds. Mrs.
Scott diea at an advanced age, and re.
quested in her will that the gander
should not be killed or go off the place,
and it is now living, being something
over eighty years of sge. 1t is very
cross ana Will attack persons, tear their
clothing, and is as spIy as some other
geese on the farm which are twenty

" Amazing Grace"


The following is vouched for by one OF
the most reliable Philadelphia divines
A young clergyman having agreed to
supply the pulpit of an older brother
absent from home, escorted to church the
daughter Of the pastor, and sitter seeing
her safely in her fathers pew, assembled
to the pulpit, unconscious that this
natural attention to the young lady was
sufficient to excite lively imaginations
and inquiries in the audience.
Upon reading the hymn to be sung,
the young clergyman was surprised to
perceive evident efforts in the congrega-
ton to suppress laughter. The daughter
of his friend possessed the melliAuous
name of Grace, and, all unsuspicious of
that fact, he had chosen the hymn be-
ginning with the words Amazing
grace" and proceeding with:
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour first believed
Through many dangers, tolls and snares
have already come;
IT'S grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace viii lead me home

AlfOnsO's Bridal Bed.


From the Council Chamber we pass
into the Kings chamber, which is
simply but richly furnished. The walls
are hung with beautiful specimens of
the Gobelin tapestry, but the carpets are
of Spanish manufacture. An exquisitely
carved walnut bedstead occupies the
center of this room, which, like the
royal household, is principally remark
able for its elegant simplicity. Adjoin-
ing is chambre de toilette with marble
bath, washstand, etc.
A short corridor separates the apart
ments of the Queen from those of her
royal spouse. Passing through we enter
the chambre cOucher, where is the
nuptal couch, gem of the Partisan
upholsterer's art, richly carved and de-
lightfully upholstered in silk. 1t cost
fifty thousand francs The interior of
the dome-like canopy is richly uphol-
stored in rOse-colored silk, on which
cunning hands have wrought flowers
and devices with golden threads. The
headboard is surmounted by an en-
broidered shield, on which the initials
of the royal spouse are wrought in gold.
The shield is supported by two reclin-
ing nymphs, nude as Mother Eve in
Paradise. AS the workmen had just I'M
packed this jewel of bed. it is impos-
sibe at this present writing to give any
further description of its beauties. In
addition, there is a chambre de toilette,
a delightful sale de lecture, with win
dows opening on the Plaza de Oriente
and on the splendid terrace, which
affords a fine promenade, with mag
nifcent view of this city and the noun
tains. At present it is merely stone
roof, but, under the care of the Queer,
will no doubt soon be turned into a
lovely hanging garden, a Parade. A
private reception-room for ladies only,
completes the royal apartment.

The Power OF n Cyclone.

In discussing the two cyclones which
visited the Bay of Bengal in October,
1876, Mr.. Elliott, Meteorological Re-
porte. to the Government of Bengal, in.
cidentally gives some idea of the cyclo-
pean forces which are developed by such
storms. The average "daily evapora-
ton" registered by the Bengal instru-
ments in October is 1.-TWO inches" The
amount of heat absorbed by the CONVEX
sion of this amount of water daily over
so large an area as the Bay of Bengal is
enormous. Roughly estimated" says
Mr.. Elliott, ait is equal to the continu-
GUS working power of 300, 900 steam en-
gines of l,000.horse power" A simple
calculation will show that it suffices to
raise aloft over $4,000 cubic feet of
water in twenty-four hours from every
square mile OF the bosom of the bay,
and transport 1t to the clouds which
overhang it. When we extend the
calculation from a single square mile to
the area of this whole Indian Gulf, the
mind is lost in the effort to conceive the
force which, in days time, can lift
90, 900, 900 tonsl Yet it would be easy
to show that such figures, fabulous a.
they seem, do not adequately represent
the cyclonio forces of single storm.
