Decrease Of Marriages i'm Massachusetts,.

THE Boston TrdUeiier is calling at
tention TO the remarkable decrease of
marriages in Massachusetts during the
last ten years. In 1870 the rate was
one in 35.5i of the population. In 1873
it was one in 60.l9. Last yearthe ratio
of white marriages in proportion TO the
white population of the State was n
in 60. "a. The noteworthy fact is men,
toned BY the TrdUeikr that 1.-THE de-
crease is found among the wealthy
classes. where it would not be expected
to occur" Young men also. we are

as a reason for not marrying that they

times the Puritans were a prolific race,

the few children that are now bonn
among the native population. and es-

are ample for maintaining large fami-
lies. The reluctance to marry on the
part of young men in Massachusetts, may
arise from the desire so many. of them
entertain. and not a few CRAFTY. to be
free TO migrate to other States in search
of fortune. and consequently TO have

Torture In Olden Times.

THE torture of those days was studied
as a science, though perhaps it had
gained in diabolical refinement By the
time that Damiens was operated on De-
fore the benz monde OF Paris for his
attempt upon Louis, the Well-beloyed.
The scene in the sixteenth century was
usually a gloomy underground cham

SETS, and deadened by massive masonry
against the escape of sound. The exc
cutioner was probably born in the scar
let, or had at all evants served an aD-
premiership to some master vino had
perpetuated the grim traditions of The
craft. He and his aides mad paid care
full attention To the machinery: If the
screws and the pullcys worked slowly
and roughly, that was all the better, so
long as they did not Kill. \ speedy re-
lease was the thing TO be guarded
against; and most horrible of all "a
the presence of the chirurgeon. There
he stood. in grave imperturbabilitv,
with hard. watchful eyes. or with the
finger on the pulse Of the patient, APP
propriately robed in his ~sad-colored
garments, ready To interpoSe should
tortured nature seem overstrained, or
TO awaken it when it had found relief
in kindly oblivion. In the latter case
he would apply himself with salts
and to the revival Of the
mangled wreck of humanity. and re.

attentions, till the recovery was 81 SAL

sumed. Occasionally the sufferer would
make full confessions; sometimes, hay

would groan out n tissue of incohercnt
falsehoods; not u~nfrequently he would
be firm TO the end -greatly to the credit
of his courage or his obstinacy. In the
sixteenth century. and long afterward.
that licensed inhumanity was recognized
all over France, and abused-if abuse
may be said to be possibility the
possessors of seignioral rights. as well
as by the Provincial Parliaments and
Governors. Remembering the tradi-
tons of cruelty and insolence that had
been multiplying themselves from time
immemoriai through the length and
breadth of the land under the rule of
harsh and irresponsible tyrants, we may
have some conception of the ~reyengcful
spirit that was unclaimed when the mob
had broken loose and become masters
in their turn.

Presence Of Mind in a Dog.

ONE morning last week 4 little brown
and white dog. owned by one of the
bosses on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
was PLAYING about the depot shortly be-
fore nine o clock. During his gambols
he got between the tracks just as the
two lightning through trains were ap-
preaching, which pass each other just
in front of the depot. The dog appar-
emily saw his danger, for he quickly
looked in either direction, and calcu-
lated that If he should attempt 10 cross
the track on either side he would GER
tainlv be crushed to death. Now. this
dog did the only thing which could have
been accomplished by a human being.
He stretched himself out on all fours.
placed his nose between his paws, and
remained in that position until the
trains had passed. A number of gen
tlemen witnessed the actions OF this
dog. one of whom gave the particulars

4 Nice Point i'm Grammar.

the family as arbiter. with full power

proper to say we is rich or we am

The old man worked carefully down
into the hollow of his boot under the
instep. remaining a long time in
thoughtful meditation, and then slowly
replied:
..Well. ! should say it would come
higher TO the truth TO say W hain't
rich"
The young heirs. when they camc to
think what a hard time they had worry
ing pennies out of tSeir p%aternal rela-
tive. thought it might be made that
way. too. And the old man kept on
amounting his boots with the extract Of

Loss Of the Sally"

81 TELL We the craft which was

an old lake Captain as he dropped into
Il ferry-dock saloon yesterday for his
morning dram.
Yes, she did"
at was jist such a morning as this
in 80 that we, aboard of the Sally.
found ourselves off Point Pelee with a
heavy sea on" continue the Captain.
..Myi but wasn't it keen above board.
The air was full of frost, the wind cut
like a knife, and every drop of water
fruze as soon as it struck the deck"
"But YOU threw on salt?"
1--WE hadn't an ounce aboard, and
we had left our aX at Cleveland. We
couldn cut of an ounce where 4 pound
grew, and in an hour she looked like
an iceberg. | saw that she would 90
down if we didn't do something, but
our puny efforts were of no avail. Six
of us froze our ears and fingers. and
then we gave up. Before noon she had
a hundred tons of ice on her bow, and
we couldn't start a rope
That was a bad fix"
.Guess it was, The ice kept draw
inc her down and down. and finally at
one o'clock she went down head first"
And the crew took TO the boat?"
"No, sir; the boat was q solid mass
of ice"
But how were they saved?"
They wasn't saved. Every soul
aboard of her went down to 4 watery
g~rave!'
But you weren't drowned. How
did YOU escape?"
mo. | wasn't drowned; but if this
crowd expects me to devote all my
time for ten years to perfectin' an in
vention to enable a man to walk ashore
under twenty-five miles OF cold water
and then give il away without some
body buying the drinks. | beg to in
