Abolish the Honeymoon.

Madge, IN LONDON Irufn-
So Princess Beatrce's honeymoon is to be
spent in the Isle of Wight! After this it will be
even more than ever the resort of couples newly
wed. But the honeymoon is now becoming an
institution of the past. 1t has of late been grow
ing shorter and shorter, and will soon be quite
obsolete. In another fifty years antiquarians
Will be puZzling over what it was. Now, my
dear, fancy people will get on all the better
without it. All the married people know init
mately have told me that they had tifis during
the honeymoon. OF course they had. Thrown
entirely upon their own resources and deprived
OF society, what other paStime was left them
but a lively little domestic breeze? And them

tears, you may be sure There is nothing like the
ordinary routine of daily life for softening the
trials OF matrimonial unions, / feel sure. Every
one has his or her moods and lenses, and to
have to discover them all in "a heap, as it WERE
In the solitude q deur of the honeymoon, is u
much more terrible experience than it would
oe IL the couple We're at home, and not left en-
trely TO their own devices Besides, it is very
nnpoht1c Tor either husband or wife to let the
partner of life become bored: and not Cleopatra
herself, with all her '.infinite variety" could
have prevented modern Antony from ex-
periencing that fatal sensation on a wet day in
the country, i'll Switzerland, in Rome, or in fact
anywhere away from his club, his pet chef and
his own particular haunts.
Let us, therefore abolish the honeymoon. Let
the Weddlng-trlp remain, but it will be enjoyed
ever so much more If undertaken after a wear
and day of married life, when each partner to
the contract has learned the great unWritteu
clause about bearing and forbearing.

SprinS-Time in Indiana.


The month of April is by no means a tollv one.
1t is alternating mud and frost, rain and sun
shine, and not all the chords the season awakes
are jubilant. TennysOn asks: "Can trouble live
with April days?" and says that "his regret be-
comes an April violet and buds and blossoms
like the rest" April's autumnal parallel is No
vember, and In these months hope partakes of
the nature of memory, and for the time looks
backward as well as forward and 1.-The songs
which trembie on our lips are half complaint,
half praise"
But the poets cannot smell out the spring for
US nor put Its charms into words, so that one
can take down his Chaucer, or Spenser or
Thomson, and get the feeling and spirit of the
season. To rightly know April, throw away
the calendar, the heavy English poets, with the
spring in their ink-hOrnS only, and read the
rollicking and bantering spring songs, of which
no poet has written more than half a dozen, and
which none can write to order.
through the country and see the thing itself-a
drying road; the fresh earth in the fiIrrow with
boys and blackbirds picking up angle-worms;
cav of the crow, melodious only in APRIL the
long sonorous volley the cow sends echoing
over half a township, not aimed to any special
purpose. but a general invocation addressed TO
nature; farmers securing piOws and clearing

old shoes under the kettle; the blue bird

post along the cherries fence" boys sharing
These are among the tokens of April and one
is as good and as true as dozen.
The first wild-fower, the note Of the first

American Girls Abroad.

Berlin Letter in Hartford tOurant.
A large contingent of the American "cOlonies''
In Berlin and Dresden is made up of young
women who come abroad to study German and
art, generally music. Now and then there is
an aimless one among them, and of those who
merely want to have good time there are.
more at Dresden am told than here. But
most of them are hard students and deserve
great respect. Yet have wondered and still
wonder whether young girls, and girls not SO
young. ever take into account, as they settle
down in the bOaring-hOuses and lodging-houses
OF these cities, what is the estimate put upon
them and their mission here by the average
European. l am persuaded that they do not.
People here have no idea whatever of state of
society which allows young ladies to travel alone,
live alone, receive calls when and where they
This to the average European is simply the sign
of being a dIssolute person; and there are hun
dretis OF our country women who are watched
and commented on both by men and women,
who, coming with the American freedom, go to
and fro entirely unaware of the severity of the
judgment passed upon them. And then the
gayety of the American manners, not to speak
looked upon as an open fiinging out of the BAN
ner of readiness for Immoral relations. Many
girls do not care for this even when they know
it. They fling it Oft with careless and con-
temptuous Shrug. The only way to escape being
taken for people of the demi-rnOnde is to be so
entirely devoted to study as to quite silence all
suspicion, to be really in love with work and to
give all time and thought to it, OF course there
some of these in all the great art centers but
credit not only on themselves but also on the
American name.

Some English Legal Absurlitties.

From London Truth.
Since the world began was there ever any
thing SO absurd and indefensible as the rules of
the English bar? A barrister, however hungry
must not take a less fee than guinea; he must
not advertise for work; he must not treat with
his clients without the intervention of an
attorney; he has no legal claim for his fees: and
he is not liable for his negligence. Take again
the grotesque rule as to precedence. There are,
let ii be supposed, upon q particular circuit two
barristers, A andB. A is a prodigy OF legal
learning, but no orator. B knows next to no
law, but talks like q house on fire. 1t is
thought desirable to rescue both But the
attorney forgets to look in the claw List" and
when the case comes on the unfortunate client
finds that, by reason OF the rule of precedence
orator has to content himself with examining q
few of the less important witnesses. Can any
thing more utterly foolish be imagined?

The Mexican Natl Onal Pawn-ShOp.


Letter in Baltimore American.
After seeing all these things we felt for our
pocket-boOks, and on taking an inventory we
found our Mexican dollars were rapidly evapo-
rating. We therefore concluded to visit the
national pawnbroking establishment. We did
not have much to pawn, but we went there any
how. This is one of the most remarkable institu-
lions tnMexico, and is worthy of visit 1t is situ-
ated on Empedradillos street, almost opposite the
famous Aztec calendar in the wall of one of the
Cathedral towers. This is one of the oldest edi-
fees in the city, having been originally built as
private residence for CorteZ shortly after the
conquest. 1t retains great deal of its primitive
mire in its quaint old doors, windows staircases,
ceilings, &c. Its founder was Count de Regia,
Don Pedro TerrerOs, who in 1744, endowed the
institution with 100000 out of his private
fortune. His object was phlanthropic in
every respect being to relieve the poor
usury. Money is loaned on very liberal
terms, according to the rules and regulations
Of the establishment, the rate of interest
never being lower than or higher than 12l,
per cent per annum. There are many curious
articles slowed away in the picture, candelabra
silver-plate, timepiece and miscellaneous rooms
and the grand vault of the bank connected
with the pawning establishment usually con-
tains from $5,00O.0OO to $4,000, 900 in solid
silver and gold. The jewelry department con-
tains one of the richest and rarest collections
the world. Pearls, rubies, emeralds and dia-
mopds in great numbers dazzle the visitors
sight. Many of these jewels are merely placed
here for safety, others for the consideration of
money. Some are handed down from the date
value, are of great interest to the anti
Ouarian.

FTOm the Havre de Grace Republican,.
A Mr.. Hubbard, a bay fisherman, says that
late in the spring you will often see q school of
about fifty small catfish, not more than quar-
ter of an inch in length, very near the shore
and If you look ten or twelve feet further out
you will see thes mother cat II a noise
Is made she will make sign that the little
Seats understand as well as chickens do the
cluck of an old hen when a hawk is in the
of the old catfish, who will then turn and swim
off in safety with her young. MIR. Thomas
Davis of this city some time ago told us that he
had noticed this care Of q mother catfish for her
young. He said that he has often seen the
young fish swimming about in the shallow
If danger threatened, the old scatty" would
rush in among her young, and by a vigorous
motion of her fin stir up the mud until the
water became dtscolored and the young fish
could no longer be seen. When the water
would become clear again neither old nor young
dSh would be visible.

The "FirSt FamiIieS.,
From the New York Mail and Express.


1t is announced by firm of subscription pub
fishers that they are about to issue a book en-
titled 1.-THE First Families of the United
States" The title is ambiguous, nay polyguous,
! If we may SO speak. First may refer to time
to occupancy of public station, to brains to
numbers or to any one Of dozen other things.
We have no great historical work that traces
the history of the families that first landed on
what is now United States soil down through
the colonial and revolutionary periods to times
OF rebellion and reconstruction. If we had, it
would be interesting almO st solely to Virginians
and would not meet with ready sale. Perhaps
the knickerbOckers are meant, who come next;
but Irving has so thoroughly exhausted that
subject that new book is Superfuous
Possibly the first families refers to those
who have occupied a conspicuous place in ma
tiona1 history, like the Adamses and the Jays,
the Randolphs and Lees. But where could a
line be drawn that would not exclude some
body who ought to be taken in, or include
somebody who ought to be left out? How many
members Of family must have been promi-
nent in public life to entitle it to place among
''first families" and how "prominent?' The
difficulties in the way of judicious selection are
almost insuperabe.
But if there are dangers in attempting to de-
what shall we say when we consider the RASH
ness of any human being who should endeavOr
to classify the family intellects Of the country :?
Not all men have ancestors who came over on
the Halt Moon" or the "Mayf1ower;" a great
number OF very worthy families have never
had a President. q diplomat, Congressman,
general or a commodore; but where is the fam
lily that has no brains? 1t is useless to attempt
family aristOcracy of intellect in this country
II numbers are to be the basis of classified
tfon the Smiths would of course be so much
first that there would be no second, and GER
talnly history of the entire Smith family
would of itself suffice to fill large volume
We incline to believe that the new book must
be a family record of the Smiths. The use of the
plural " families may be defended by the pub
fishers on the ground that there are several
kinds of Smiths, such as the Peapack Smiths,
Of Jersey; the Smithtown Smiths, of Long
Island. QS a
history Of the Smiths would not be polite. The
title chosen is much better, and shows the
to expose their game, but critical honesty abso-
lutely demandsit.

Ministers and Girl. Need Watching.

From the New York Times
The Brooklyn minister who recently mar
ried two ridiculous boys to two silly girls
preached a sermon last Sunday on marriage, In
the course OF which he expressed the opinion
that girls ought to be closely watched. 1t may
oe very desirable that girls should be watched,
out II is equally clear that ministers like the
one In question should also be watched.
