Spanish Living and Dying.

The Spanish father is absolute king
and lord by his own hearthstone, but
his sway is SO mild that it is hardly felt.
A light word between husband and wife
sometimes goes unexplained, and the
rift between them widens through life.
They cannot be divorced-they will not
incur the scandal of public separation
and SO they pass lives of lonely isola-
ton in separate apartments, both think
lug rather better of each other and of
themselves for this develish persist
ence. If men are never henpecked ex-
cept by learned wives, Spain would be
the place of all others for timid men to
marry in. The girls are bright and
vivacious, but they have never crossed,
even in schoolday excursion, the border
lines of the ologies. They have an
old proverb which cOarsely conveys this
idea: "A Christian woman in good
society ought not to know anything be.
You'd her cookery book and her missal."
An ordinary Spaniard is sick but once
in his life, and the old traditions which
represent the doctor and death as al
ways hunting in couples still survive
in Spain. In all well-to-do families
the house of death is always deserted
Immediately after the funeral, and the
stricken ones retire and pass eight days
in inviolable seclusion. Children are
buried in collins of gray color, blue
or pink, and carried open to the grave.
A luxury of grief consists in shutting
up the house where death has taken
place, and never having it opened again.
l once Saw beautiful house and wide
garden thus deserted in one of the
most fashionable streets of Madrid.
The wife of certain duke had died
there many years before. The duke
lived ia Paris, leading a rsttling life,
but he would never sell or let that Mad.
rid home. Perhaps in his heart. that
battered thoroughfsre, there WAS q ST.
lent spot where, through the gloom of
dead days, he could catch glimpse OF
q white hand, the rustic OF q trailing
robe. and feel sweeping over him the
magic of loves dream, softening his
fancy to tender regret.

Palestine Pottery.

The biblical descriptions of pottery
are singularly applicative to the present
process OF manufacture. Now. in the
nineteenth century, the potter sits At
his frame and turns the wheel with his
foot. Or, Is we read in the Apocryphs !:
$50 doth the potter, sitting at his work
and turning the wheel with his feet !: he
fashioneth the clay with his ARM" The
potter had heap Of the prepared CLAW
near him and pot Of water boy his side.
Taking lump in his hand, he placed it
on top of the wheel, which revolves
horizontally. and smoothed il into q low
cone, like the upper end of sugar loaf !;
then thrusting his thumb Tito the top
of it, he opened a hole down through
the center, and this he constantly wild.
ened by pressing the edges of the
revolving cone between his hands. As
it enlarged and became thinner, he gave
it whatever shape he pleased with the
utmost ease and expedition. 1t is evil
dent, from numerous expressions in the
bible, that the potter's vessel was the
synonym OF utter fragility and to say
as David does. that lions king would
dash his enemies TO pieces like pot
ter's vessel, WAS to threaten with ruin
Gus and remediless destruction. We,

as appropriate and forcible as ever.

The Ideal Editor.

At the breakfast in honor of Oliver
Wendell Holmes, few days ago, Mr..
Houghton presented Mr.. W. d. Howells
as tosst-master in the following words !:
1t may be surprise that the editor
of the atlantic should not appear on
this occasion. But it may not be gen.
orally known that to the contributors
he is in some sense mythical charac-
ter, and is never seen except by his
representative aud keeper. He is u tall,
cadaverous and gravelooking being,
wearing immense magnifying glasses
on his eyes, and living in an attic, the
only furniture being high stool, q
turning lathe and grindstone. His
only implement is sharp knife, which
he uses for defense and cutting out the
brilliant passages from the contribu-
tions of young authors. He uses the
grindstone to sharpen his knife, and
the lathe to reduce all contributions to
the uniform Atlantic standard. For
fear he might disturb us in our festivi-
ties to-day, he has been carefully locked
in his room, and the junior partner has
the key in his pocket. His representa-
tive, however, is here. He is modest
young man, very little versed in the
ways of the world, but he has sufficient
shrewdness to carry only the complaints
to the real editor, and keep the compli-
ments for himself. propose now to
introduce to you the representative Of
the real editor. As the remainder of
the entertainment is to be purely liter
airy, shall also ask him to take charge
of it.

Some sixty years ago two young col
ored girls resided in Newport, r. l.,
one of whom had lover to whom she
was engaged. The close companionship
of the two girls brought the other
much in the society of the young man,
and at length she. succeeded in capti-
waiting him and they were eventually
married. The disappointed maiden
never married. The other lived many
years with her husband and was finally
left widow. A short time since one OF
these women, rendered helpless by
age, was taken to the Newport Asylum
and shortly afterward the other came
also. Both of them are past eighty
wears OF age. As soon as they came in
sight OF each other in their new place of
abode, the old quarrel was renewed, the
maiden haunting the other with her
psrfidy in robbing her of her affisnced
husband. And every time they met,
these two old women, tottering on
the edge of the grave, fell to quarrel
ing over q love affair OF sixty years ago,
till at last it was found necessary to
locate them in parts of the house re-
mote from each other.
RUSSIAN LADIES. - Cigarettes are
universally smoked by Russian ladies.
They even smoke at railway stations,
on steamboats, and at hotels, dozens of
cigarettes day sometimes, scratching
the necessary matches on a pillar or
post, Just like man. Sometimes q
light goes out and they try again-as
why shouldn't they? If they have no
matches or wish to save themselves the
trouble of lighting one they ask the
first gentleman smoking they meet to
favor them with light Leaning for
ward to the cigar, pipe or cigarette
which he extends. they ignite their lit
tie roll. bow silently and pass on.
Sometimes q gentleman asks lady to
extend to him the same favor, which
she graciously accords him.
