A MOther.in.LaW's Paradise.

1t is all the more remarkable that
marriage should be so universal an in-
stitution amongst barbarous races, when
it is considered how seriously in some
cases the husband pledges his fortune
not only to his wife but her relatives as
well. There are, of course, other cases,
notably that of the North American
Indian, who has no objection to half a
dozen wives if he can obtain them.
With him, if it is not "the more the
merrier," every addition is a source of
profit, since it is another laboring hand
on his estate. On the contrary, in parts
of Southern Africa-amongst the Maka-
lOlo, for instance-the young fellow
who takes a wife is almost a bond-slave
to his mother-in-law, and until he has
children of his own is hers to command,
to dig and delve, and cut wood, and
fetch water. In her presence he must
remain with his knees in a bent posi-
tion, so as to avoid giving the old
woman ohense by sitting with his feet
toward her.
The young New Zealander, seeking
matrimonial bliss, is in worse case
still. With his bride he espouses the
good or bad fortune of her family, and
is bound to fight even against his own
kin should trouble arise. The New
Zealander's courtship is of peculiar
kind. Having fixed his affections on
an eligible party, and announced to his
friends that she is the object of his
choice, he is bound in honor to make
her his, or suffer the penalty for MAX
ing the attempt. 1t is no use trying to
for the damsel with her peo-
pie upon peaceful terms; under any
circumstances, if a man wants q wife
he must run away with her. The pair
may understand each other properly,
out certain commercial considerations
must be recognized, and the "snatch-
ng," as it is called, must take place.
rhe man lies in wait, attended by few
rusty friends, and availing himself of a
avorable opportunity seizes on the
7oung woman and carries her toward
lis abode. If he is not an eligible suitor
Ter cries soon bring neighbors about

Honesty the Best Policy.

Honesty is always-that is to say, al
most always-the best policy. Erin
stance, the other day as a keen-looking
businessman, with his hat worn on the
nape of his neck, was standing on Clark
street, simple, gawky-looking conn
try lad of nineteen with big envelope
in his hand, and his mouth and eyes
wide open, came sauntering along, look
ing anxiously at all the signs, which he
was apparently spelling out. The busi-
ness man, being naturally kind-hearted
and desiring to do a friendly turn to a
stranger, said to the boy: "Hi, sonny,
what are you looking forP Let me see
that letter"
"Now, I can't let you have that let
ter, there's bonds in it," said the boy;
"but p'raps you can tell me where
Mister Smith lives round here. The
boss told me the number, but I've for
gotten it, and the letter has got bonds
in it, and so [ amt to give it to any
body but him."
"Why, I've been waiting for you this
half hour" said the keen business man,
as his face frightened up; waiting for
you to bring me those bonds which l
bought of What s-his-nameP"
"Be you Mister Smith?" said the
boy; "well, now, I'm right glad l met
you, because I'd clean forgot what was
the number where the boss said you
lived, and wouldn't have liked to go
back to him without finding you; it
would have looked as if l was care
less"
With these remarks the lad took out
big envelope marked 81. Smith, ESQ.,,
Present." in the upper corner "$2, 800
U. S. 5-20s," and in the lower corner
Commission due, So. Please remit
by bearer"
"That's all right, sonny" said the
keen-looking business man, as he hauled
out scantily-furnished purse, gave the
boy fve-dollar bill and quarter and
said: "There, sonny, that quarter is
to reward you for your cleVerness and
fidelity" and, putting the envelope in
his breast pocket, he walked leisurely |
round the corner, ran to Dearborn |
street with the speed of a deer, skipped |
lightly round to Madison, and, hailing |
a car, was whirled away at a compare
lively lightning speed. Not till he had |
reached Union Park did he draw the
precious envelope from his pocket, and,
with the remark: "Pray Heaven they
are not registeredp' tear it open. He
then found that the envelope contained
q copy of the Chicago Tribune, which
he could have purchased at the Office
for five cents. Meanwhile the simple
country lad, entering a beer saloon in
the vicinity of the Sherman House, had
absorbed a beer, salted away the FIVE
dollar bill with seven others in his
and with the remark:
'' The fish is biting very numerously to-
lay" taken another big envelope from

TESTIMONY


Court Chicago, Illinois.
CHICAGO, Dec l4th, 1876.
DEAR SIR Permit me to add my grateful testi-
tim0ny to the army Of witnesses to the virtues Of
your justly celebrated Arabian remedies. For a
long time my wife was seriously afflicted with q
hacking cough, an oppressed breathing, soreness
Of the chest and constant acute pain in the lower
portion Of the right lung and under the shoulder
blade. Her sutferings were intense, and she be-
came extremely nervous and prOstrated. Her dis
ease was pronounced consumption by the physi-
clans Of Chicago and other cities whose prescrip-
tions had been taken without benefit. When you
visited Chicago, June, 1873, we called on you, hay
ing very little hope of deriving help from your
treatment We were inspired with hope by the
skillful manner in which your thorough examina-
tiOn was conducted, and the satisfactory eXplana-
tion with which you closed your diagnosis. My
wife determined to take your medicines in accord
anee with your plain and practical directions.
She began to use the Arabian Milk Cure and Ara
bian Tonic; their beneficial effects at enCe became
manifest-the cough lOOsened and soon ceased,
respiration became easy, the soreness Of the chest
was relieved and all pain removed, she began to
gain in flesh and improve in strength and appear
ance. fully believe that your medicines and
skillful advice have saved the life of my wife
She unites with me in this grateful tribute 10 the
merits Of your remedies.
Very respectfully yours,
JOSEPH e. CARY.
