Getting Married in Vienna.

A word on very delicate matter
1t is a serious affair to get a good
parti for girl in Vienna, and it is a
yet more serious thing not to have
madame before her name. In conse-
Quence there is not that difidence
and false modesty on the part of the
parents Of marriageable daughters
we are accustomed to see at home. If
the proper person does not turn up
he is sought for until he is found,
and it is poor-spirited mamma who
will not set forth the charms Of her
maidens to get eligible bachelors. If
younger sister happens to be mar
ried before the elder she at once de-
clares herself and is declared by the
parents to be the older, her better
luck and further experience emitting
her to that position.
A friend of ours was astOnished at
betrOthal ceremony recently to hear
the birth certificate of the bride. a
young lady whom he had known sew
eral years, read out, fixing that event
thirty-years before. All during their
acquaintance she had posed as the
youngest of quartette of sisters who
were married before her, and it was
only when the deed was done and the
groom secured that she unblushingly
and as a matter of course resumed
her proper age.
1t was another young lady. whose
name is buried in the bosom OF her
correspondent, who, with an ingenu-
BUSINESS that cannot be too highly
commended, wrote a proposition Of
marriage to an American gentleman,
which, for frankness and an absence
of all false ideas on a very practical
subject, has not, / believe, been sur
passed. And when he, with a valor
that has never been equaled on any
field Of battle, replied that such hap
piness was not for him, giving ex-
cuses that were feeble indeed, but at
least showed the inclination Of his
mind, this admirable Austrian woman
met him on his own ground, begged
that he would trouble himself no
more about the matter, and hoped
that their friendship might be con-
tinued.

a sense Of shame-facedness because

ing a condding and defenseless sex in
its most tender aspect; but when one
discusses the characteristics Of ma
tion in serious communication like
this. individual sentiment must be
sacrificed to historical interest

with excessive courtesy ana Just a
little Boston icing on it. He breaks
into a cold PRECIPITATION as the hOrri-
bic thought sweeps across his mind
that she may have followed him there
TO witness the battle. He looks over
look around at ghost. He would
give dollar if the Office boy would
just come after him with message.
He knocks his head off. His tongue
cleayes TO the sun-burned roof of his
kiln-dried mouth. He takes off his
hat. He prefers request for an in
terview with a lady who might be
willing TO accept situation to assist
in general housework. The lady is
presented. An how many hav yez
in the family?" Five" He is alone.
He hears an unfamiliar voice beyond
the partition saying, as TO an audi
ence: "Thayre's house full O. thin. )"
He suggests, in hoarse, strange
voice, that he will try for two. They
are summoned. The candidate for
cook is taller than himself; the sick
ing gyrul" demands of him where he
lives. He names the street. The
two ladies turn to look into each
others faces; two harsh and hollow
bursts of laughter CRATE upon the
startled air: two faces look down upon
him with pitying commiseration, and
he is once more alone. He goes out
like man walking in his sleep. He
falls over dog, and "begs pardon. :"
He meets the Office boy and lifts his
hat to that astonished young rebel.
He sees his typewriter waiting for a
car, and calls a hanson for her. He
reaches home, and when the "ad in
terim" Ellen Eliza opens the door, he
calls her Madam" and apologies for
troubling her. You say: "Where is
the new giri?" He says: "Oh? Didn't
have time to 60 for her" And he is
correct. She went for him. After
this, perhaps, you had better not say
anything to him about it.
Oh, patient, muchenduring, long
suffering woman, no man living
knows upon what heart-aches and
trials and tribulatons Of the flesh
and the spirit his happy home is
founded. If he did he couldn't sleep
in it.

ties, fuchsias and honeysuckles grow
luxuriantly about the cottage

MURDER AS A FINE ART.
The Curious Manuscript Left by French
Author Recently Deceased.

The Curious Manuscript Left by French
Author Recently Deceased.
Among the papers of NJ. Charles
Monselet, the spirited and much-re-
gretted French writer, curious man
uscript has been discovered 1t
bears the title, Manual du Parfait
Assassin, " and opens with an outline
sketch of the qualifications of the
man who would become a successful
murderer. Above all, he should
neither be too young nor too old,
neither uneducated or too learned,
but one branch of knowledge which
he should be careful to avoid is that
Of literature. But unless a man
feels that numbering is his vocation
all other qualifications avail nothing.
If he is not drawn toward the profes-
sion by an irresistible attraction. and
if he has not from his tenderest age
felt the desire to annihilate his feI-
low beings let him desist from med
ding with numbering. NJ. Monselet
says:
"A street attack at night is tempt
ing, but it must be done by inSpira-
tion. You require genius to do it
well. A man passes. He either in
spires you or leaves you unmoyed If
he inspires you go for him; his watch,
if he mas one, his pocketbook and the
contents Of his two waistcoat pockets
are your booty. Throwing dead
man in the river has its drawbacks:
the Seine often gives up its prey.
Water talks; the earth is dumb. This
is the advice of a famous assassin"
Under the heading Murders and
Magistrates" the author has this to
say:
"Avanain, when standing on the
the platform Of the guillotine, said
TO the people, above all, never con.
fess These great words ought to be
engraved in letters Of gold. As soon
as you are caught imagine YOU are
somebody else. Don't try to be clev-
er in answering the Judge. Rather
say the most idiotic things that come
into your head. The perfect assassin
should be very respectful toward the
gentlemen Of the jury. If lie knows
one OF them he had better not ask
how his wife is Good behavior is
not often rewarded. Meanwhile. he
ought 20 show his perfect Tranquility
10y asking one Of the policemen by his
side for a chew OF tobacco.
independence, as long as their is
CLEAN Of hope, is the advice with
which NJ. Monsalet dismlsses his
subject and when an has failed then
resort 10 philosophy and die like a
man.

PICTURESQUE OLD INN.
The "Rising sun" at Lynmouth, in tn
Land of Lorna Doone-


The Rising Sun inn at Lyn-
mouth is one of the picturesque sights
OF the land Of Lorna Doone. Full on
its lattice windows, its cObbled walls
and thatched rooms "the splendor
falls" at sunrise all the year round,
but when it was built on that head
land there were other and older
houses farther up the shadowy val
ley, on which the morning sun never
rested from November TO February.
To bask in its welcome rays then the
gossips of Lynmouth were obliged TO
walk out past the haven under the
hill to the SPOT wherein the rising
sun shone. But those valleys hardly
want direct shafts of sunlight TO
brighten them, for in the glOOmiest
months they are flooded with lu-
minous haze that seems to give
warmth as well as light; so that myr-

Jenny Lind's TEMPER.

A Boston woman. whose nan, is NOT
printed, is reported TO have taken sing
ing lessons of Jenny Lind a good many
years ago and to have found the Swedish
nightingale n great scold. Her temper
at this time was such that she would
often fly into Il great rage, and her hus.
band would have to entice her out of the
room TO soothe her. after which she
would come back with affahility drawn
over her wrath SO oppressive in her
courtesy that the student hardly dared
to breathe for fear of starting her off
again.
The American confessed that She spent
more of her lesson hours crying than
singing, and added: Her reprirnands
were often personal. She would look at
me and calculate, oh. You look so ugly
when you sing!' It was impossible to re-
sist apologizing for ones appearance
when she spoke like that, and that threw
