Marriage in Genoa.

Marriage brokers are quite important
business men in Genoa. They have
pocket books filled with the names of the
manageable girls Of different classes.
with notes of their figures. personal at
fractions, fortunes, etc. These brokers
60 about endeavoring to arrange connect
ions; and. when they succeed, they get a
commission of two or three per cent upon
the portion. Marriage in Genoa is quite
matter of calculation. generally settled
by the parents or relatives, who often
draw up the contract before the parties
have one another. and it Is only when
everything is arranged. and few days
previously to the marriage ceremony, that
the future husband is introduced to his
intended partner for life. Should he find
fault with her manners or appearance. he
may break off the match on condition Of
deiraying the brokerage and any other
expenses incurred.

The American Home.

The following from the pen of New
York World contributor is commended to
the thoughtful attention Of every reader;
The American people are becoming
more cosmopolitan in their habits daily
In no part of the world do so many fami-
lies live in hotels as in this country. Pri-
vate home-life is sacrificed for show and
notoriety. To be seen and talked about
has taken precedence Of the sanctity OF
home. pleasure and work. Since the civil
war, shoddy, show and splendor. with all
the attendant display, has caused even our
best society to be venal, hollow and
shamelessly indecent. The art of money
getting is fast demoralizing all ranks OF
society, and it is not how it is gotten alone
but the fact is it must be gotten to keep up
with the spirit Of the times, which has
caused 80 many otherwise worthy men to
sacrifice all positions Of trust and honor
TO the Moloch Of ambition demanding
wealth, position and notoriety.
The conditions Of home-life are chang
ing rapidly; instead of the love OF home
beng inculcated in the rising generation
of children, they are left TO strangers,
while the father is struggling with ambi-
tons. perhaps beyond his reach. And the
mother, engrossed with her ambition to
be recognized in society, not for her
social or moral attributes, but as IL
leader of fashion. Money is squandered
to appear to people (who care nothing for
yOu) different from what you know you
are. Home duties are neglected for show.
Children grow up without proper princi
pies being insiilled in them Everyone is
iu grand race and scramble for wealth.
and for what purpose? Only to CRAFTY
the insensate passion for position and dis
play.
And thus the coming generation will
come TO the surface, making home desc
late for the want OF proper appreciation
Of the real value Of living. All the old
way ID the best-line upon line and pre-
cept upon precept; these principles will
make better men and more glorious ma
ton, whereas the present course will
eventually DESTROY all the better qualities
Of the man and plunge the country into
chaos and confusion. Other nations have
tried it in times past and gone to the wall
For with wealth comes luxury and luxuri-
Gus ease and WAYS. and gradual break
ing down of the barriers, until private
worth is swallowed uD in plumber. which
will finally pull down the entire fabric.
Let US hope that this may not be the fate
of our glorious Republic.
These are timely words. May many
wise minds warn the people that in the
true home the only safety of the people lies
