Newly Married Couples.

1t is the happiest and most virtuous
state OF society in which the husband
and wife set out together, mako their
property together, and with perfect sym.
patty Of soul, graduate all their ex-
pelses, plans, calculations and desires
with reference to their present means
and to their future and common in
terest.
Nothing delights man more Than to
enter the neat little tenement of. the
young people who, within perhaps two
or three years, without any resources
but then own knowledge Of industry,
have joined heart and hand, and engaged
to share together the responsibilities,
duties, interests, trials and pleasures OF
of life. The industrious wife is cheer
fully employing her hands in domestic
duties, putting her house in order or
mending her husbands clothes. or pre-
pairing dinner, while perhaps the little
darling sits prattling on the floor or lies
sleeping In the cradle, and everything
.seepls preparing to welcome the happiest
of husbands and the best of fathers when
he shall come home from his toll to en-
Joy the sweets of his little paradise.
This is trua domestic pleasure.
Health, contentment, love, abundance
and bright prospects are all here. But
it has become prevalent sentiment that
man must acquire his fortune before he
malries; that the wife must have no SYM
pathy nor share with him in the pursuit
of it-in which most of the pleasure
truly consists-and the young married
people must set out with as large and
expensive an establishment as is becom-
ing those who have been welded for
twenty years. This is very unhappy; it
fills the community with bachelors, who
are waiting to make their fortunes, en-
dangering virtue, promoting vice; it de-
stroys the true economy and design Of
the domestic institution, and it promotes
ineificiency among females, who are ex-
pecting to be taken up by fortune and
passively sustained with any care or con-
cern on their part. and thus many a wife
becomes, as gentleman once remarked,
not "helpmate," bat o "helpbeat. =

Denf II an Alnrm,

Not many years ago student in
Princeton Seminary. desiring to rise
early in the morning, bought an alarm
clock. For few days it worked well.
But one morning after being aroused by
its alarm, he turpcd over ard went to
sleep again, On subsequent mornings
the clock failed to awake him He
placed it under the head OF his bed in
close proximity to his ear. There it
awaked him until the next time he dis
obeyed its summons ever afterwards it
was failure. he slept through its call
with perfect regularity.
Yet, on the other hand, many mother
awakes on the feintest voice of her child,
aud many watcher on the slightest
movement Of the patient. They have
trained themselves to heed such calls.
In like manner the conscience may be
deadened or trained. Let the Christian
disregard its voice, aud soon it will
become unable to,arouse him at all. Let
him carefully heed its faintest remon-

Religion DeN,aed.

Definitions of religion have been
numerous and varied. Tho latest one,
given by Mr.. Chadwick, a Unitarian
minister in Brooklyn, is broad enough
and vague enough to suit ali minds in
quiring for such mistiness. BE says the
.sssrce Of religion is "to thrill with
rcco.s s;ni.ioll OF the tender grace and
awful sweep Of things, and to convert this
passive recognition into q voluntary
energy Ct devotion to the eternal order
in which we find ourselves c,nbosomed. !"
There is an old definition which runs
thus "Pure religion and undefled be-
fore GOD and the Father is this: to visit
he 1la Il nj
the fatherless and the widows in their
affection, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world" It seems to. US that
this is quite as good as thrilling with
the tender grace and sxful sweep Of
things. "-Presbyterian

The Great Comet Of ls4s.

The following extract from Professor
Pierce s lecture on comets and meteors
contains description of the wonderful
comet Of 1843, of which Gould's comet
= supposed to be reappearance:
"About noon On the 2Sth of February,
1s43, groups Of people. in many Of the
towns OF New England, especially Port.
lind, Maine, collected at the corners Of
the street, gazing up toward the sun.
Protecting their Dyes in the shadows Of
the houses, they saw a brilliant object
close to the SUM- Such marvellous
spectacle had never before BEEN seen. A
fAeQghtful sea captain. Mr., Clark.
brought out his sextant, and repeatedly
measured the distance Of the strange OBJ
jsct from the limb Of the sun. These
unique observations are on record. and.
submitted to rigid criticism. attest the
accuracy Of the observer. In about a
week from this time wonderfully bril-
liant comet was seen skirting the horizon
soon after sunset and reaching more than
one-third of the way round the sky. It
was now a tail without head, as it was
at first head without tail, but they
we're members of the same comet. The
4est determination of its path was ac-
dbmplished by the distinguished astron-
dmer, Sears O. Walker. At its perihehon
itpassed nearer the sun than any known
comet, with the single exception Of that
d 1850, computed by Sir Isaac Newton,
and in the discussions of which in the
Pnncipia he broached the first approx
iination to the true theory Of the come
taxy tail These two comets approached
80 close to the sun that it would seem
quite possible thnt they touched its sur
face, OF at least swept in nearer than the
solar corona. 1t would have been an ab-
surd hypothesis that they were elected
from the sun at the time of penetration,
had it not been for the fact that the
comet Of 1860 was seen on its way down
to the sun, and for the remarkable phe-
nonena which we are about to describe
concerning the comet of lS43. It may
be claimed as a not impossible hypothe-
sis that each of the comets was at some
former time the product Of solar erup-
ton in accordance with Buttons theory
of the origin Of comets. 1t would only
involve force which would double the
greatest velocity given to the solar field
9hydrogen. But iuster interpreta-
ton Of its phenomenon, and one which
avoids the necessity Of an extravagant
volcanic action, is to be found in the re-
aIfon between the comets and the me-
teors 1t lis simply the splash Of the fall
ing meteors. In about an hour and a
half the comet Of 1S43, like that of 1880,
went round the sun from one side to the
AntS What would have become Of the
tail, which was reaching out about 1o0,-
600, 900 of miles from the sun to the earth 5
orbit? There have been those who have
actually adopted the incredible, I may
say the impossible, hypothesis that the
tail rotated through thisimmense circuit,
developing centrifugal force with all the
united powers Of the universe could not
have sustained. No! The comet prac-
tically LETT it's tail behind it and began to
grow new TIL as it receded from the
sun.

FROM THE BANKS OF ALDEN RIVER.
April 6, 1882.
I have just met q courier bearing dis
patches from W. II, Gildsrs, Herald cor
respondent with the Rodgers, whom the
courier had accompanied from Kolgmsk,
on the Koleme river, to Verkhegsnsk,
400 miles north Of Yakutsk. Glider had
made the journey of 1900 versts among
the Chuckches. He was sent forward
with news that the Rodgers had been
burned and sunk; that Lieut.. Berry, with
the officers and crew, thirty-six in num-
Der, were at ETiopks, near Cape Serdze,
and that vessels should be sent for
them as early as possible.
