DR.. Talmage on Marriage.

When man builds his earthly nome
he decides his eternity. l know that
affiancing is usually looked upon as
something to be merry over, instead of
something to be praying about; but
what step is there fraught with such
veal or woe? Is it not strange that an
affair charged with such temporal and
eternal import should depend on within
or glance? do not think l put the case
too strongly that when say that when
a young man marries he marries for
heaven or hell Ii he brings into his
household the right kind of influence,
the home will be elevated and upward
in its impulsions. If he brings the wrong
kind of influences into his house, he will
GO down; he must go down.

Life's Sweetest Dreams.
There's nothing half so sweet in life
As Loves young dream.''

There's nothing half so sweet in life
AS Loves young dream.
Sang the poet in the long ago; and how
many hearts have since caught up the
tender refrain, whose musical ripple will
never cease to reverbrate through the
most profound rccesses of the soul?
Earth has no essence SO pure as this
primal influence. The richest language
of the tropics will not express it's warmth
Poet and artist have alike failed in out
lining a sentiment so akin to divinity.
Chords that never vibrated before
thrill at its gentle touch with music
not of earth. Hope, that "hovering
angel girt with golden wings" creates
sunshine both in the inner and outer
life, while ''pure>eyed Faith" like the
silver lustre of star, lights up the veiled
vistas of futurity.
Oh how supremacy blest is the heart
that is thrilled by the holy emotion OF
love. The fair picture may be dimmed
by the black shadows of separation and
enlargement, but the memory of this
hallowed influence will brighten and
purify the heart that has held so much
of heaven, proving the oft-quoted senti-
ment of England's laureled minstrel, to
be more than poeuically true. This life
of beautiful reciprocal attachment and
joy, however brief, leaves bright light
and tuneful echo, which shall never for
sake us It'll, with eternal summer
crowned, we lose our three score years

Ocean Secrets.
BY IDA BARTON HAYS.

Waveexiled MAIDS! How the ocean lies
With captive voice in these pearly shells;
And stretching seas where the gray gull flies
And the salt sea brine more grateful smells
Than the scented Wifi from muskadels.
There's dash of foam in my lifted face
And windy West where sunset link
Impurpled dyes on the horizons space;
And the waves have ruddy glow to drink
AS they tumble back from the oceans brink
There's a long line rolling in undertOne,
And beaconed headlands far appear;
And rugged cliffs with the wave-beats thrown
And white winged boats are lettering near,
Till the tide laps out from the slippery pier.
Such whispering tales l hear, old Ocean!
or coral caves where the mermaid dwells:
Where the sea -nymph rocks with a billowy mo
ton
Her babes in these pink lined cradle shells,
And the murmuling waves OF her music tells
o shells that 1 gathered where white crests
break!
Ye have mysteries deep as the seas for me;
To the things you hide my soul will awake,
When tread the wide shores Of eternity,
And gather my shells by a soundless sea!

Marriage in Abyssinia.
Frederick villiers in the Century.

Frederick villiers in the Century.
Abyssinia is country where, if mars
riage is failure, it can be easily dis
solved. There is absolutely no legal or
holy tie. When a man is DESTROYS of
marrying girl he directly applies to her
parents. The maidens, like those in
many European countries, are seldom
consulted on the question; the lover ar
ranging with the father or male relatives
regarding her dover, which generally
means few beeves, sheep, or pieces OF
cloth, and sometimes gold.
On the marriage day the bridegroom
presents himself with his best man at
the house of his future father-in-law.
Much feasting goes on till the bride is
carried off by her husband, generally on
his shoulders, while the male relatives
closely follow, making canopy of Their
togas to keep off the rays of the sun, OIL
perhaps the effects of the evil eye. Be-
hind come a crowd of young girls and
boys, methodically lifting their arms
above their heads and clapping theil
hands to the measured beating of tom
toms carried by young men running
along the TANKS of the procession, who
also blew long trumpets
The happy couple that I saw married
outstripped their followers, with the ex
ception of their best man, and at las1
reached the town green, where the
groomsmen formed a screen with theil
cloaks round the happy pair, when thu
deferred courtship began.
1t is custom for the supporters of thu
groom, generally six in number, to b'
present on the occasion, and for man,
days afterward to go round visiting thu
houses of the mutual friends of the mar
ried pair, extolling the beauties of tn
bride and the accomplishments of tn
groom, generally finishing up with
grotesque dance, which is much enjoyed
by the enthusiastic neighbors, crowdinI
round the open doorway.
Though this marriage can be annullet
according to mutual agreement of brid
and groom, if, after years of happines
together, they wish to cement the ii
more closely, the pair simply attend tn
holy communion together in church, an
the marriage is then looked upon us in

The most powerful microscopes render
visible a point about one one hundred
thousandth part of an inch in diameter.
There is reason for believing that sin
gle molecule is much smaller even than
that. One reason for this has been de-
duced from the soap bubble. Scientists
have measured the thickness of the en-
velope of soapy water inclosing the air
| of the bubble when it had become so
thin as to produce rainbow tints. At
the appearance of the shade OF violet it
was one fourth the thickness of the
length of an ordinary violet wave OF
light-one-sixty thousandth of an inch
thus making the thickness equal to
one-two hundred thousandths of an inch
AS the bubble continued to expand a
black patch formed adjacent to the pipe
from which the bubble was being blown,
and the thickness of such patch has
been found to be only one>fortieth OF
the thickness of the violet section, or
about fifty millionth of an inch.
