She marvelled greatly, though, after she got
stronger, why not n ray of light was ever suf-
fered to enter and, at last. she asked her
mother.
NO light" exclaimed her mother, in
suppressed excitement. NO light why,
cannot you zee me I"
:" How can l in this darkness ?" cried
Edith.
The groan that burst i~nvoluntarily from
that mothers heart told her the truth. Was
it possible that for her the sun would shine
no more forever / think she prayed for
death.
Squire Rathburn and Charley heard of her
misfortune speedily, There was one stormy
scene in the old Rathburn mansion, but
Charley conquered and over he went to see
Edith; They took him to her room and
placed her and in his, whispering his name.
For one instance her pale features lighted
with y joyous smile, and u faint pink dyed
her cheeks; then she grew paler than before,
They softly left the room, those who had
brought him thither.

crimson as he touched her hand in greeting,
Edith was possessed of self-control sufficient
to speak coldly, though her very heart
seemed bursting. He spoke as coolly, pass

who. like a shadow. was ever at the side of

An hour later she wandered mi into the
conservatory to breathe the perfume-laden
air. She heard voices in excited, yet 10y
toned conversation in one corner, and, recog-
nizing one. she paused TO listen. 1t was
that of Squire RathbuIn. but she could not
distinguish the words. The answer was clear
and earnest.
You may talk of vengeance, father, for
jilting me three years ago; but l tell you that
I love her."
Are you a fool2" retorted the Squire
and Edith heard him now-"a fool who can
learn nothing from experience? l thought

boyish weakness, and that you would try to
make her suffer as you suffered when you

Edith was surprised, not very pleasantly,
withal, at this change, and in her despera-
ton declared she hated him. Now, love and
hatred are opposite extremes; but extremes
will sometimes meet, and before she knew it
the handsome stranger who had treated her
SO rudely occupied her thoughts to a much

her that she loved him.

The Voice OF Long Experience.

To The Editor Of The Ersnino World
I see no proof of the failure of marriage as
an institution, nor yet any suggestion of any
better state which will advance morality and
happiness. Individual grievances prove
nothing against marriage, excepting the par
ties own mistakes. The faults and errors
are their own
Through all time marriage has been law
bonored and sacred. for upon 1t rests the
of home, religion and civilization. Marriage
was not intended to be u conventional N
legal relation only. but spiritual as well and
1t should not be entered upon lightly nor
unadvisedly, but with sober reverence and
consideration, with the law of love, as well us
love of law.
Read over the solemn obligations taken !:
The husband to love. honor. comfort and
keep in sickness and health, for better or for
her, as long as both shall live. The wife the
same. to which is added "obey," and both
" until death doth part" to live together
" according to Gods holy ordinance" man
and wife.
These vows are taken willingly, and if
mistakes arise. surely they are not the fault
of the institution. And have not such mis-
taken ones the remedial power within them
selves? IT, without consideration. it is
rushed into if respect be not O firm basis of
love for each other; if selfish purpose in
duced and deception ensnared, then be as
sured that punishment in no end of sorrow
and care will follow.
Hasty words from hasty tempers selfish
disregard for each others comforts; disre-
spect for each others preiudices and opin-
ions; confusion and contradictions which
gentle persuasion or golden silence" might
overcome; disregard of home duties neg
lected opportunities. which of, en- send a
husband to seek for his com orts elsewhere,
and wives to find sympathy from too willing
listeners-ah! these are the MANY little
foxes that do spoil the vines, and the vines
have tender grapes"
We cannot judge marriage by a modern
standard. 1t is not q modern institution.
Happiness means Us much to-day as it did
in Adams time, and more. mo man can be
q husband who has not been and is not still a
lover"
Yet Pericles must have his Aspasia. too.
She must be his counsellor md helpmate.
She must be his pence aud rest and home,
and 80 keep him lover ever.
For those whose vows are sincere, who hold
communion of mind and spirit as we'll as ex-
change of hearts, with lofty friendship aud
respect; love at Its best and purest sits
brightly enthroned. and they prove that
marriage is n success! From

q most novel and unique paper-weight lying
Upon his desk.
1t is an exact fac-simile of the United States
Observatory on Mount Washington, N. H..
The observatory is made of shiny metal and
around it, lying ON the ground, are numerous
pieces of stone taken from the mountain.
The house stands about 2 inches high and is
% inches long. It is fastened to the ground
by heavy metal bands. On the roof of the
building are q miniature weather-vane and
barometer.
The observatory on Mount WASHINGTON is
G, 600 feet above the level of the sea-, and it is
al this point that the lowest temperature in
the United States is recorded. 1t was opened
on Nov. 2. 1870. In the summer two obser-
vers are stationed there. AND in the winter a
cook is added to the working force. The
velocity of wind recorded is 1870 miles an
hour, the greatest ever registered, and this
occurred on Jan. II, 1878.
The weight was sent to Sergt. Dunn by one
of the observers stationed there at the pres

business is on Fulton street, is the possessor
of the largest pair of elephants tusks that

at 49, 900, but their commercial value only
