Jenny Lind,


 "Wbere is Jenny Lind now?" inquired a reporter of P. T. Barnum.
 "Jenny Lind, or Mrs. Goldschmidt, is living in London, near the Buckinghs m Palace, at place called Pimlioo. W, e. was last in London I met her daugl te. at photographer's-thero royal photogra- pher's-and she insisted upon my seeing her mother. So went to see her, and had very pleasant visit. Her mari, ge was rather romantic. Goldschmidt is a Jew. They studied music together. When she came to America she sent for him to come as pianist, and he used u play at her concerts.
 Ut was her own arrangement, and she paid his salary herself. She thought he was grand musician, and used al ways to get into one of the private boxes and applaud his pieces. Though she was older than he, she loved hlm, anu was bound to marry him. He renounced his religion in order to be her husband. I guess he thought it was comfortable place. She must be worth $l ,U00, 900. There was joke about it at the time. The question was, Why did he marry Jenny Lind?' and the reply, Because he was gold smit. y"

The Pentateucl,.

Pentateuch is the collective name of the first five books of the Old Testa- ment. For centuries the Pentateuch was generally received, in the church, as written by Moses. Differences in style and apparent repetitions to be found in different parts of Genesis and the first chapters of Exodus led emi- nent critics to suppose that, in the com pilation of the book, written documents of an earlier date had been made use of. The Mosaic authorship of the Penta- teuch is defended by many theologians, who hold that any other supposition is inconsistent with the plenary inspiration of the Bible. But some of these writers admit that, beside the account of the death and burial of Moses, some words and sentences may have been interpo- lated at later period. Other theologi- ans hold that the documentary theory is inconsistent with the divine authority and inspiration of the writings attrib- uted to Moses.

Girl Life in India.

On the day of her marriage she is put into palanquin, shut up tight, and car ried to her husbands house. Hitherto she has been the spoiled pet of her mother; now she IS to be the little slave of her mother-in-law, upon whom she is towait, whose commands she Is implicitly to obey, and who teaches her what she is to do to please her husband what dishes he likes best and how ok them. If tLe mother-in-law is .- ie will let the Srl go home occasionally to visit her mother.
 Of her husband she sees little or noth- ing. She is of no more account to him than little cat or dog would be. There Is seldom or never any love between them, and, no matter how cruelty she may be treated, she can never complain may do, for he would never take his wife's part. Her husband sends to her daily the portion of food that IS to be cooked for her, himself and the chil- dren. When 1t Is prepared she places 1t all on one large brass platter, and 1t is sent to her husbands room. He eats what he wishes, and then the plat ter is sent back, with what is left, for her and the children. They sit together on the ground and eat the remainder, having neither knives, forks nor spoons. While she is young she is never allowed to go anywhere.
 The little girls are married even as | young as 3 years of age, and, should the boy to whom such child is mar ried die the next day, she is called widow, and is from henceforth doomed to perpetual widowhood she can never marry again. As widow she must never wear any jewelry, never dress her hair, never sleep on bed, nothing but d piece of mating spread on the hard brick floor, and sometimes, in fact, not even that betwte en her and the cold bricks, and, no matter how cold the night may be, she must have no other covering than the thin garment she has worn in the day.
 She must eat but one meal of food a day, and that of the coarsest kind, and once in two weeks she must fast for gNenty-four hours. Then not bit of
 ood, not drop of water or medicine must pass her lips, not even if she were lying. She must never sit down or speak n the presence of her mother-in- l idH, ulltSS tucJ COIuIuhuu AeI tO llO SO Her food must be cooked and eaten apart ! rom the other women's. She is dls- graced, a degraded woman. She may Lever even look on at any of the mar rage ceremonies or festivals. It would oe an evil omen for her to do so She may have bet n a high caste Brahminic woman but, on her becoming widow, any, even the lowest servant, may order ner to do what they do not like to do. No woman in the house must ever speak one word of love or pity to her, for it Is supposed that if a woman shows the slightest commiseration to widow she will immediately become one herself.

 In memorys hall hangs the picture, And years of sad care are between; It hangs with beautiful gliding, And well do love it. I ween. It stood on a bleak country corner, But boyhood's young heart made it warm; It gowed ln the sunshine of summer; Twas cheerful in winter and storm. o, gay were the sports of the noontide, When winter winds frolicked with snow; We laughed at the freaks of the storm-king And shouted him on, all aglow. We dashed at his beautiful sculpture, Regardless of all its array; We plunged in the feathery snow-drifts, And sported the winter away. We sat on the old-faEhoned benches, Beguiled with our pencil and slate; We thought of the opening future, And dreamed of our msnhood's estate. o, days of my boyhood, bless ye, W hile looking from fe's busy prime; The treasures are lingering with me gathered in lifes early time. o, still to that b'eak country corner Turns my heart, in wearineRs yet, Where, leading my gentle young sisters, With youthful companions I met
