QUAKER MARRIAGES.
A Glass of People Among Whom Divorces
Are Virtually Unknown.


Are Virtually Unknown.
Divorces are actually unknown among
the Quaker, and this absence is ac-
counted for by the extraordinary pre-
caution employed W hen two young per-
sons desire to be united in marriage.
The parties place their proposals of
marriage in a written form, which is
referred to the society of which they
are members, and is acted upon at a
preparation meeting " thereof. If all
the attendant circumstances are in
every respect in accordance with the
views of those present the proposal is
approved, and is then introduced at
the monthly meeting" when it is
again passed upon a committee of in
vestigation into the characters, habits
and circumstances of the engaged
twain is appointed. These committees
always consist Of two members of each
sex. The committee, after most thor
ough examination and investigation,
make its reports generally at the sue
ceeding ''monthlyn meeting. This
ends the preliminary arrangements,
and the twain are at liberty to proceed
in the accomplishment of their marriage,
a committee of two of each sex being
appointed by the meeting to see it or
derby conducted and the marriage GER
tifcate delivered to the recorder. As
a rule the impressive ceremonies are
generally conducted at the home of the
bride. and occasionally in the ''meet-
ing-house." At the nuptial ceremonies
the certificate is. given to the couple,
which, after receiving their own sigma
lures. is in turn signed by every person
present, and frequently contains hun
dred names. Engagement or wedding
rings are rarely given. Interior.

A DIFFICULT SUBJECT.
sketch or a Young Lady Five Months old

Sketch of Young Lady Five Months Old
MY pretty, budding, breathing flower,
Methinks, if Tomorrow
Could manage, just for half an hour,
Sir Joshua's brush to borrow,
] might lmmOrtalize few
OF all the myriad graces
Which Time, while yet they all are new,
With newer still replaces.
I'd paint, my child. your deep-blue eyes,
Their quick and earnest flashes;
I'd paint the fringe that round them lies,
The fringe of long, dark lashes:
I'd draw with most fastidious care
One eyebrow, then the other,
And that fair forehead, broad and fair
The forehead of your mother.
I'D oft retouch the dimpled cheek
Where health in sunshine dances;
And oft the pouting lips, where speak
A thousand voiceless fancies;
And the soft neck would keep me long,
The neck more smooth and snowy
Ihan ever yet in school-boy's song
Had Caroline OF Chloe.
NOR less on those twin rounded arms
My neW-found skill would linger,
Nor less upon the rosy charms
OF every tiny finger;
Nor slight the small feet, little one
So prematurely clever
That, though they neither walk nor run,
think they'd jump forever.
But then your odd, endearlng ways
What study e'er could catch them?
Your aimlesS gestures, endless plays
What canvas e'er could match them?
Your lovely leap of merriment,
Your murmur of petition.
Your serious silence of content,
Your laugh of recognition.
Here were puZzling toll, indeed
For Arts most fine creations!
Grow on, sweet baby; we will need,
To note your transformations,
NO picture of your form or face,
. Your waking or your sleeping,
But that which Love shall daily trace,
And trust to Memory's keeping.
Hereafter, when revolving years
Have made you tall and twenty,
And brought you blended hopes and fear
And signs and slaves in plenty,
May those who watch our little saint,
Among her tasks and duties,
Feel all her virtues hard to paint,
AS now we deem her beauties.

The catacomb of ST. Felicitas.

One of the latest discoveries at Rome
is the Identification of the catacomb of
st. Felicitas. On the right of the Via
Salaria, q little way outside the gate
and close to the Villa Albani, which

catacomb have been excavatcd A

preservation, dating from the seventh
century. There can be traced Christ

The Nutritious Banana.

A pound of bananas, it is said, con-
tains more nutriment than three pounds
of meat or as many pounds Of potatoes,
while as food it is in every sense sup
erior to the best wheaton bread. AL
though it grows spontaneously through
out the tropics, when cultivated its
yield is prodigious, for an acre of
ground planted with bananas will re-
turn as much food material as thirty
three acres of wheat, or over one hun
bred acres of potatoes. 1T is not gem
orally understood. that bananas fried
baked or roasted are very appctizing.
and that sliced and placed in dish,
with alternate slices of orange, they

him pick it out and look at it, and she be-

and, laying down his knife and fork, began
to dig with spoon in the dish from which
the piece OF stamp had come. Finally,
when the lady could stand it no longer, she
exclaimed:
what is the matter, Mr.. Jones?"
