WHAT CONSTITUTES A MAR.
RAGE IN NEW YORK

The New York Court of Appeals,
through Judge Folger, has lately clear
ly defined what constitutes marriage
contract in that State:
''By the law Of this State man and
woman who are competent to marry
each other, without going before q
minister or magistrate, without pre-
Vious public notice given, with no form
or ceremony, civil or religious, and
with no record or written evidence of
the act kept, and merely by words of
present contract between them, may
take upon themselves relation of hus-
band and wife, and be bound to them
selves, to the State and society as such
and if after that the marriage is de-
MED, proof Of actual cohabitation as
husband and wife, acknowledgment
and recognition Of each other to friends
and acquaintances and the public as
such. and the general reputation there-
of, will enable court to presume that
there was in the beginning an actual
bona fide MARRIAGE

As we grow old, our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We grope. as those In darkened ways,
Through all that is existent;
Yet far-oH days shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded,k
And faces uead SET IN strangely near
To those that life has shaded.
As we grow old our tears are few
For frleuds most lately taken,
But fall--as fall the summer dew
From roses lightly shaFen-
When some Chance word or idle strain,
The chords OF memory sweeping,
unlock The Hood. gates of our pain
For those who taught as weeping.
AS we grow old, our smiles are rare
TO tnose who greet US daily,
Or, II some living faces wear
The looks that Ueamed 80 Rayly
from eyes long closed, and we should
smile
In answer TO their wooing,
Ills but The Past that shines the while
Our power To smile renewing.
As we grow old, our dreams at niqht

bright,
Or dark with golden sorrow;
ana when we wake, the names we say
Are not OF any mortals,
But OF those in some long dead day
Passed through life's sunset portals.

not for sale.

Bancroft, who is quoted ON the book

TIVE announcement that the beauti-

tween New York and Albany is \
pleasant one, and within few days the
Delaware also will be the scene Of re-
newed activity in this line. Last wine
ter there was scarcely any interruption
to steamboat travel, but the season just
ended has been of such extraordinary
severity that it seems long time since
river excursions, SO delightful at all

Just after the close of the rebellion, I
was employed as traveller by firm In

travelled in a large, covered spring wagon,
with five trunks of samples Late one
afternoon, in the autumn of &c, as was
jobbing over the prairie down toward
Fort Scott, fell in with young man on
horseback, going in the same direction
We exchanged sa'utations, time of day,
etc. He was a hobby fowl, lavender tie,

We stopped for the night at the ranch,
kept by an old woman in Israel, from
Missouri, who dished up everything in
the most primitive manner. There was
bacon, potatoes, homIny, corn pone, etc.
Accustomed to such fare, L pitched in
with VOLTS appetite, after my days
hard ride, but noticed when L had got
the wire edge OF, that the Boston acquain-
tance was not going for his grub with
that energy which would indicate "great
goncness in the region Of the stomach.
He picked up a bit of corn pone, broke
it apart, gazed at it attentively, pulled
some short brown things out Of it, laid
them beside his plate, tried a bit of the
bacon and potatoes, then another bit of
the pone with more examination, and
more short Drawn things pulled out and
laid aside. Finally, the landlady, seeing
all was not right with him, came round
to his side of the table, lowered her
specs from forehead to nose, inspected
Me small mound of short brown hair be-

Prof. II. G. Vennor explains his
system as being based upon the results
OF observation, and the comparison of
cause with cause, effect with effect,
season with season. He says: "What
/ do and have done is the result OF
persistent study and directing others
labors. discovered one fact, and proving
it to be fact beyond question or dis
pute, / have builded upon it, and built
safely, L think. What was that discovery?
Just this: that seasons and years recur
in couplets and triads Rules applicable to
the first season or year of n couplet are
equally applicable to the second season
or year of that couplet, and precisely SO
in the triads. Such Is the main super
structure of my work. But L soon found
that the system was not bound down to
a mere generality, embracing only sea-
son or year in its entirety. Experiment
evidenced that the same calculations
could be made for month, and that,
too, with an exactness that at first APP
peared to be surprising. And pursued
my work still further, until now do not
hesitate TO bring my calculations within
a week. Yes, i have been able to de-
signate particular days. That is usuolly
my rule in the text of my predictions.
But the public should understand that,
except in special cases, never risk
every thing upon any single twenty-four
hours. / have not yet reached that
point in my system, although there Is
no telling what will be accomplished in
the near future. My experience long
ago impressed me with the force of the
recurrence of periods of similar weather,
and to my personal experience l have
added the authentic records of three
quarters of century. Those records
cover Canada and the United States.
They are practically complete, and they
uphold my theories. Upon them, III
fact, to no small extent, do L depend for
everything. Sometimes ! am bothered
by my inability to decide whether have
entered couplet or triad of seasons, and
until that matter is settled | am ali at
sea, and quite as likely to be wrong as
right. Now, an instance OF that was
the winter OF 1880, when, you viii rer
member, L declined to say anything
positively. i was in doubt upon many
phases of the then recurring weather,
and was unwilling to make any forecast.
You will bear in mind the circumstances.
There was the strangest of weather.
But the instances in which / have been
obliged to forego my predictions are
wonderfully few. Such miss is not
possible once IN thousand times"

Expectancy Of Life.

Insurance companies are aware of the
credulsus weakness of those whose
lives they assure, and have, therefore,
compiled numerous tables of expec-
fancy of life for their own guidance,
which are carefully referred to before a
policy is granted. These tables have
been the result of careful calculation,
aud seldom prove misleading. OF course,
sudden and premature deaths, as well as
lives unusually extended, occasionally
occur but the average expectancy OF
life of an ordinary man or woman is as
follows A person l year old may ex-
pect to live 80 years longer; of 10 years,
