When Theodore Parker was married
he entered IN his journal on his.~wed-
ding day the following resolutions
Never, except for the best reasons,
to oppose my wife's will
To discharge all duties for her sake
freely.
Never to Scold.
Never to look cross at her
Never to worry her with commands,
To promote her piety.
To bear her burdens,
To overlook her foibles.
To save, cherish and forever defend
her.
To remember her always in my

Thus, God willing, we shall always
be blessed. Philadelphia Record

have to us lies largely in the number. less theories and conJectures to which they give rise.
 Neptune Is another of the morning planets. and he is in conjunction with the moon just a little after the latter reaches the three-quarter post. There are six and half degrees declination separating the two heavenly bodies. a distance sufficiently great to prevent l our doing more than merely guessing at the planets locality. We are told that Neptune would be most interest ing to us could We but have a look at him, and with this bare statement we have to content ourselves. It would seem as though body whose diameter Is 3b.o0o miles were quite large enough 10 catch our eye. but then when we consider that Its distance from the sun 10 represented by 27s with seven ciphers attached. the reason We do not see 1t becomes quite apparent.
 Venus still fingers among the morn ing stars, and 1t will be some weeks yet before we see her fair face in our evening sky. While we revolve in a circle that 1t takes 365 days to com plete, our celestial sister has year that Is only PA days long. Time is consequently measured more rapidly on Venus than with us. The warmth and light which 1t receives from the sun are much more intense than we re- ec've on our globe; the ratio Is not far from 19 to p. or nearly double. Uufor- tunatcly. we do not know the exac :: time cf .he rotation of Venus. nor the inclination of its axis. 50 that we are unable to tell either the length of it's day and night or the intensity of It's seasons
 Jupiter and Venus are already some- wbat separated. and as one Is draw ing away from the sun and the otter aprro& ching. the interval is constan,- ly widening. We would have :oumd this difference in movemen: of these two r!N als far more interesting etIdy. if it had happened as "the aur:,gh. falis in emerald streaks and leaves us in the soft blue shadow" than we probably have found 1t at the hours just before the break of day, but we shall have to wait many a day before we have the two close together in the evening. Jupiter and the moon do not hit 1t off this month in at all satisfactory way, nor do they again this year give us one of those strik- ingly beautiful celestial pictures that have been so very impressive on former occasions.
 Mercury keeps with the morning stars and reaches the most western point of his swing on the 9th. when he will be almost nineteen degres from the sun, and will then begin to retrace his steps in time for the conjunction with the sun. early In September, after which he becomes an evening star for two months or so.

CONTICTIONS ADOPTED
At the Recent Peace Meeting.

At the Recent Peace Meeting. The convictions adopted at the Mys- tic peace convention were in brief as follows:
 The Convictions" of the Universal Peace union were passed, dilating upon the propositions
 That until human life is held so sacred and inalienable that no human authori- 1 ty can destroy it by legal enactments upon the scoffold or battlefield we may expect peace to be broken and we | should prohibit the sale of deadly weapons. .......t. , .- | That mediation, arbitration and con ciliation are competent to settle every difficult, and the claims of civilization and religion are not answered until these peace agencies -be"' piactically recognized.
 l That the United States deserves high honor for inviting other govern ments to form international treaties | for arbitration.
 That a war department is incon- | sistent with government and should be supplanted by peace department. That any increase in the army or na- | " or state militia is unnecessary, un- wise and detrimental and leading our country into military despotism.
 That military drills of boys and l in, ol,,, is fraught with the gravest dangers. | That the stability of our institutions and the dignity and protection of law are threatened by the frequent lynch ings.
 That the working man should be the best peace man. In war he suffers the horrors thereof, and. after all is over. he pays the war debt
 | That the university movement for teaching peace principles is wise, and we strongly recommend all schools and colleges to introduce the study of ar- bitration.
 1 Ihat the international peace congress at Antwerp should promptly appeal to China and Japan to stop the war and submit to arbitration.
 That China and Japan in their war over Corea are repeating the history Of ruin, man killing and wickedness.
 Ihat the organization of the new peace societies and the renewed vigor of the old, the breaking down of sectarian. ism and the wide scope of philanthro. phy, humanity and charity, are hopeful signs Of nearer approach to peace.

Catches Fish with SkilI-A Large Pickerel
 and Young Crane Carried to His Mis-
 tress.
 From the Hartford Post.]
 Mrs Mary Campbell of Wethers- field has a remarkable cat which is val uable as a pet, mouser, a fisher cat and a bird hunter and is peculiarly different from his brother and sister felines in that he is not afraid of the water and indeed often plunges into it when temptingly plump fish is in sight. Mrs. Campbell lives near the cove and it is one of Tommy's favor ite pastimes to stretch himself upon the edge of boat or raft and with eyes wide awake watch for a finy prize At the sight of fish, be it small or large, "shiner' or pickerel Tom will, like flash, dive into the water, reap bearing in few moments with fish in his mouth. Tom does not catch these for the qualification of his own appetite either. Whenever he captures game large enough for utilization by his mistress he carefully carries it to the back door of the house and begins a peculiar moving which he keeps up until Mrs. Campbell appears to receive Toms trophy.
 Recently, between g and 10 o'clock at night, Mrs. Campbell heard this cry which she has learned is significant of a good catch by Tom, and going to the door he jumped into the room with pickerel ten inches long, squirming between his teeth. Relieved oNhis bur- den he again went out and in little less than an hours time the peculiar new ing was again heard. Well Tom is having luck tonight" Mrs. Campbell said as she jumped from her bed, and opening the door beheld in the mouth of her pet a young crane half dead. The bird was awkwardiy carried by Tom because of its size. It measured 1 ,thArty inches from tip to tip and stood about ten nches high. Mrs. A. W. Green, a neighbor, this morning saw the bird and will clean and stuff it. Meanwhile Tom continues his re- markable hunting. and further sur- prises are in order.

THE FIRST HANGING.

From the Chicago Times.
John Ellington (then spelled Billin-
tom was executed for murder in 1850.
In the enumeration of the Mayfower
passengers made by one of their num-
Der, Gov. William Bradford, is the fol-
lowing entry:
John Billinton, and Ellen, his wife;
and sones, John & Francis"
In 1850, or thirty years subsequent TO
the landing of the Mayhower, Gov.
Bradford, in taking "a view of the de-
crossings and increasings of these per-
sons, and such changes as hath passed
over them and theirs, in this 80 years.
refers to John Ellington in these words:
John Billinton, after he had bene
here 10 yerS, was executed for killing a
man; and his eldest some dyed before
him; but his 2. some is alive, and mar
ried, & hath s. children"
Gov. Bradford, in his History of
Plymouth Plantation" thus refers to
the circumstances attending Billing
tons crime, trial and execution:
This year 1850 John Billnton, We
elder lone that CONS over with ye first,
was arrained, and both by grand and
petite jurie, found guilty of willful muir
der, by PLANE and notorious evidence.
And was for the same accordingly exc
cuted. This, as it was We first execu-
ton amongst them, so it was a matter
of great sadness to them They used
all due means about this triale, and
tooke We advice of Mr.. Winthrop and
others We ablest gentleman in We Bay
81 We Massachusetts, that were then
newly come over, who concured with
them Vt he ought to dye, and We land
to be purged from blood. He and some
of his had often been punished for mis-
miscariags before, being one of ye
profanest families amongst them. They
came from London, and know not by
what friends shuied into their com
pany. His facte was, that he waylaid
young man, one John New-comin
about former quarele), and shote him
with gune, whereof he dyed"
The ancient Hubbard, in his History
of New England" says; ''The muir
therer expected. that, either for want
of power to execute for capital offences,
or for want of people to increase the
plantations, ne (Billington) should have
his life spared; but justice otherwise
determined, and rewarded him, the
first murtherer of his neighbor there,
with the deserved punishment of death
for a warning to others"
Bhis criminal seems TO have been
troublesome fellow in the settlement,
for 1.-The first offenses committed in the
colony was by Ellington, in 1921, who,
for contempt of the captains lawful
command. with opprobrious speeches,
was adiudged TO have his neck and
heels tied together"

The result was a success. an improve

They then made an axle and tongue

There was an education in this hard
