Newly Married Couples.

state of society in which the husband

perfect sympathy of soul, graduate all
their expenses, plans, calculations and

Nothing delights man more than to en-.

three years, without any resources out

joined heart aud hand, and engaged to
share together the sponsibilities,

Curiosities of the Voice.

DIR. Delaunay, in a paper read recent
ly before the French Academy Of Medi-
cine gives some details On the history and
limits of the human voice, which he OBJ
tanned after much patient research
According to the doctor, the primitive
inhabitants Of Europe were all tenors;
their descendants of the present day are
baritones, and their grandsons will
have semi-bass voices.
Looking at different races, he calls
attention to the fact that inferior races
such as the negroes, etc, have higher
voices than white men. The voice has
also tendency to deepen with age
the tenor of sixteen becoming the bari.
tone at twenty-five, and bass ut thirty
five. Fair ccmplexioned people have
much higher voices than the dark
skinned, the former being usually So
pranos or ten0rs, the latter contraltos
or basses.
Ttnors, ssys the doctor, are slendefly

and corpuleut. Thls may be 80, as a
rule, but one is inclined to think there
are more exceptions to it than are nee.
essary to prove the rule. The same re.
mark applies to the assertion that
thoughtful, intelligent In en- have always

frivolous persons have soft, weak voices,

especially tenors, for the BASES Can eat
and drink generally with IMMUNITY.
The South, says the doctor, furnishes
the tenors. the North the BASES; in
proof of which he adds that the major.
ity of French tenors in vogue come from
the south of France, while the BASES
belong to the northern department.

The Spider.

The worst tling about this poor in
sect is, that it is 80 thoroughly ugly.

the formation of the industrial machine
necessary for satisfying its wants. OF

legs and eight vigilant eyes, it aston

noble trait, in which the inattentive and
superficial observer will SEQ nothing but
type of gluttouy. Alasl it is quite
the contrary. This abdomen is its
workshop, its magazine, the pocket in
which the rope.maker keeps his stock
but as he fills this pocket with nothing
but his own substance, he can only in

of rigid sobriety. True type of the

In character, the spider is watchful
and cunning; in disposition timid, un-
easy and nervsus--being endowed with
a more sensitive nature than is pos
sessed by any other insect. These
characteristics are the natural results OF
its miserable condition, which is a state
of constant, passive, weary waiting.

The male spider often makes u meal
of his progeny; while the female loves
them so tenderly that if she cannot
save them in circumstances OF peril
she prefers to perish with them. The
love which she bears to her little ones
she does not extend toward her mate.

A Noble Revenge.

The coffin was plain one--a poor,
miserable pine coffin. No flowers on
the top; no lining of white satin from
the pale brow; no smooth ribbons about
the coarse shroud. The brown hair
was laid decently back, but there was
no crimped cap with tie beneath the
| chin. The sufferer of cruel poverty
smiled in her sleep; she had found
bread, rest and health.
~ want to see my mother" sobbed
a poor little child, as the undertaken
screwed down the top.
You cannot; get out of the way,
boy; why don't some one take the
brat ?"
Only let me see her one minuter'
cried the helpless orphan clutching the
side of the charity box, as he gazed
upon the coffin. agonized tears stream
ing down the cheeks on which no child
: ish bloom ever fingered. o! it was
painful to hear him Cry the words,
"Ooly once; let me see mother, only
once!"
Quickly and brutally the heartless
monster struck the boy away, so that
he reeled with the blow. For q mo.
ment the boy stood painting with grief
and rage-his blue eyes distended, his
lips sprang apart, fire glistened through
his eyes as ne raised his little arm with
a most unchildish laugh, and screamed
When I'm man, I'll be revenged
for that!"
There was q coffin and heap of earth

"Does any one appear as this mans

There was a silence when he had lin

together, look of strange intelligence
blended with naughty reserve upon his
handsome features, a young man
stepped forward with firm tread and
kindly eye to plead for the friendless
one. He was stranger, but at the first
sentence there was silence. The splen-
