This force, the Metropolitan Police, waa founded in 1820 by Sir Robert Peel, whose memory is perpetuated in the vernacular of the streets in the words - 'bo bby"and' ���peeler." The Metropolitan district of that day was the ecene of bo much crime of all aorta, on land and water, that reform in tho administration of justice and the governance of the criminal classes became imperative, There was no uniformity io the systems of the several parishes. Kach magietrato had jurisdiction only in hia own pariah orcounty and thti result was a trading ot judicial favors under whioh the whole systom of justice became rotten and corrupt, to the maleficent advantage of the criminally inclined. First the bench was reformed, and tbe Metropolitan police magistrates are now all trained lawyers, paid by the State. Then came Peel's bill establishing a new police force. Like all English police forces the Metro- Eolitan Police ia a civil and non-military ody, but it ia commanded by a military head, wbo is always a man of rank and oxperience. Ho is the Commissioner, and is appointed by the Queen by warrant and acts under the immediate authority of the Home Secretary, He directs and controls the whole system of police within the Metro* polttan Police district. He ia a Justice of tbe Peace for London and the adjacent counties ; but hia (unctions aa a Justice of the Peace are specially restricted to tlie preservation of the peace, the prevention of crimes, the detection and committal of offenders, and the carrying into execution of the purposes of the Metropolitan Police acts. He confines himself in practice to the administrative control of the police force, and the provention and detection of crime, by bavins persons arrested or summoned to be dealt with hy the magistrates. The Commissioner makes orders, with the approbation of the Home Secretary, for the regulation and good government of the polioe force, Tliese are comprised in the Commissioner's regulations, general orders, and polhe orders, the latter usually appearing daily. The Commissioner makes an annual report to the Home Sec retary whioh ia laid before Parliament. TRAININu Of THS POLICE. All members of the force are instructed that the primary object of the police ia the Srevention of -jrime, and the next is the eteotion and punishment of offenders when crime haa beea committed. Tht protection of life and property, the proa* ervation of public tranquility, and the abaence of onme are regarded aa the proper evidence of the measure of success attained. The constables are recruited from all trades and employments, with the exooption of the members of the Thames Division, who are recruited from sailors alone, and patrol the river in boat a and steam launches. It is among the couditions of their aervico that constables should give their whole time, aud not oarry on any trade; that they ahould serve and reside wherever appointed, and wear the police uniform when on duty. When they lirst join tlio force constables aro employed on atation duty and in attending tho police conn during the hearing uf charges and aummouaea. Tbey are instructed daily by a Superintendent in the regulations of the force and examined from time to time. At the end of the first fortnight the Superintendent reports Lo the Commissioner, with regard to each constable, whether he is likely lo become an efficient member of the force. During the first six months after joining the men ate assembled and questioned by the Inspectors as to their knowledge of the polioe instruction book. There are about 250 mounted police who are dotailed for ordinary duty to ths outlying divisions, but ire brought in on occasions of processions, public meetings, and simitar gatherings.

Every member of the force is entitled aftor twenty-five yeara of approved service to retire and receive au ordinary penaion for lite. After fifteen years' service ho is entitled to uu ordinary pension if he ia incapacitated, but the penaion may be reduced by an amount not exceeding one-half if tho incapacity is brought about or contributed to by his own fault or vicious habits. If incapacitated before completing fifteen years' service, ho may receive a gratuity not exceeding ouo month's pay for every year of service. At any time if a member of the force is incapacitated by injuries received in the discharge of his duty without any fault of his own, he is entitled to a Bpecial pension, the amount of whioh is regulated by law. Pensions and gratuities aro calculated on the annual pay at the date of retirement but if in the three years before retirement a man has been in more than one rank, the average pay for the three years Is taken. The eoale of ordinary pensions begins at tifteen-liftiotha of the annnal pay, whioh is the penaion payable after fifteen years' service ; and rises gradually to a maximum of two-thirds, which is attained after tweuty-Bix years' service, Pensions may bo forfeited or reduce! for misconduct, and may be temporarily suspended in certain cases for other causes.

The linen of the house has ita proper plaoe to fill among the dainty things, and it in also an necessity. Plain as is the material of which these things are made, much can be accomplished in the way of making them pretty if the housewife is willing to give the time and pains required. There is one thing which "hould be put upon every piece���the initial of the surname embroidered in one corner. That upou towels should either be in white or the color of the ends of the material.

Of course, the doilies, tray-ulotha, and center-pieces allow an unlimited amount and variety of fancy work. This will be regulated by the time whioh can be dovotedto them. Tbe shoots should be made of regular aheoting���uo seam down the center. They may be hemstitched across each end. The pillow cases may be hemstitched, , With drawn work above the hem; or with tucks above the hem, and a ruflle of cambric or lace below. Hi The pillow-shams may be as elaborate or simple aa the taste of ihe maker dictates. It will be more economical and better wear will be obtained If ttwellng be par* chased by the yard. The kitehen towels may be hemmed by machine, but the finer ones are better hemstitched. The face cloth is a muoh neglected but very necessary article. These may be purchased ready-made in the Turkish goods and also hand knit. To make them your* self, a single new Turkish towel will mako aeveral. Ur, a towel much worn iu the centor may bo used. If a daughter is learning to knit, nothing would be better to practice on than a face cloth. Knit on two needles, back and forth. A pretty edge of colored yarn (cotton) may be crocheted on aftor it is done. They are some timea orochcted, but are not so soft as the knit onea. Muoh Inconvenience ia avoided if a general supply of these Js kept on hand, Cooking Sausages. Tho ordinary way of fryiui* sausages is not the best way of cooking them. A far better one is to put them in the oven on au ordinary baking tin, turning them from one side to another until ihey are brown on both aides. In a hot oven they will cook in this way in ten or fifteen minutes. If they arc in cases they should be pricked thoroughly, to prevent them from bursting under the heat. When sausage meat ia used cut it into squares or form it into round cn>kea,about three-quarters of an inch thick, and lot it cook in tbe same way. The French uso tho richest Spanish and Madeira sauces with sausages. A little chopped onion,in the proportion of a table- epoonful to a pound of sausage meat, may be browned and sprinkled over the sausages just before they nro put iu tho oven. It the sausages am then served with a rich, brown aancn uml a sprinkling of minced parsley for a garnish they will I o a very delicate dish for breakfast. Another good way of serving saiisagoa is with " fingera" of brown toast and mushroom anuco. Cook the sausage iu the oven or on top of the stove, as you prefer. Only be careful that they are not cooked until they aro hard aud flavor less. They should he well browned ou both Hid- a, and thoroughly done in ten minutes' cooking. Nothing ia more objectionable than underdone pork. Arrang (-twelve sausages cooked in this way on a platter. Separate them by fingeri of toast. Heat a good brown gravy���-a Spanish sauce js most desirable if it ia convenient. Mix six mushrooms and add them to the sauce and let thum simmer In it for six inmates. Then pour the sauce around the sausages and toast. Still another nice way of serving sausage is with apple sauce or on a bed of beans. The red '-beau ia used for this purpose by French cooks, but a white bca'i will serve. The beaua should hu Boakod over night, and the water in which they are soaked ���hould be poured oil' thum in the morning. Thoy ahould then bo put in a pot. To a pint of beaua,measured before soaking, add a tablespoonful of butler and a amall onion, with a clove stuck in it. Cover them with oold water and let them cook slowly until they are thoroughly lender, adding water aa the water boils uway. When the beans are soft enough to bo easily crushed in the fingers rem>vo them froi.1 tho lire. Season them with salt and popper, take out the onion and servo them. They are a very good accompaniment of roast | oik or broiled chops, as well as of sauaages. Useful Recipes. Indian Pudding.���Take one quart of ���calded milk with a little salt, three tab . ���pooufuls yellow corn meal, one tablespoon* ful of ginger; let this mixture atand twenty minutes ; add one oup of molasses, two eggs, a piece of butter size of a walnut.

A new interest hat been created in the Armenian massacres by fresh stories sent by a correspondent. Tho atrocities, it is alleged, were done by both sides. For instance, it is reported that as a means of inciting the Turk to commit outrages that will bring down upon them the wrath of the vilized world, the Armenians have thrnst gun cartridges into the living Turks, men and women, and have exploded them, and that in the case of the men a hole wat made just below the bones of the chest for the insertion of a quantity of powder, which was then ignited aa sort of bomb. The Turk who would not retaliate in kind is yot to be born. The Saaioun massacre, it is stated, was the consequence of the Porte being notified that a revolt was going on there, whereas the diaturbance was caused by Armenians fighting oattle robbert, When the Turkish troopa oame the robbers helped them, and then ensued the horrible carnage of bloodshed and murder, in which some assert at high at tea thousand people were killed. The report of the -.nail to pleased the Sultan tbat he ordered the rewarding of his troopa for thoir part io the alter. Again, it it stated the Sultan's promise to reform will not be binding upon the Armenian revolutionary agenta, no matter what may oome, and until the revolution* ary agitation it provided for in one way or another by the Christian powers there will be no end to the dittuibancet la Armenia. This is the revolutionary party's opportunity, and It will make the mott of it. If Christianity does not put an end to it onoe for all, the murders, mattaorei and the nameless atrocities will con tt nuo till it does, it is, of course, impossible to tay to what extent Radical ideas prevail among the revolutionary propagandists, but tbe plant of some of the leaders are shocking in the extreme. In brief their plans are to commit atrooities upon the Turks in order that the infuriated Turks shall shook the Christian world by the fiendish outrages of their retaliation. When remonstrated witb in regard to these un-Uhris* tian plana the men who are responsible for them merely say : " It may teem to yon cruel and barbarous, but we know what we are doing and why we are doing it." After revealing a terrible loose state of morale, on the part of the Kurds aud Turks against the Armenians, the correspondent concludes: Aa the situation now standi one it forced to believe that both Turk and Armenian are in the wrong. So far at the Turk declares that he is trying to suppress a revolutionary move he is unquestionably in the right. There it no doubtabout that. There is a revolutionary movement in Armenia of a moat alarming quality, and the Turk will be fortunate, indeed, if he succeeds in surpassing iu The methods of some of the leaders of this move ara no leas shocking thau the barbarities of tbe Turk in suppressing it, so that if we condemn the Turk for his ferocity in the Saasoun villages, wo must not forget tht the is already half mad with fear of an Armenian uprising and the probable diamembership of tbe empire. SAVED FftOM A LIVING TOMB. Beaeneora Hlaer Who Had Ht-ea Burled for Firtj-'foitr Iloura. After haviug spent fifty-four houra in a living tomb, Charles Ditzel waa rescued from the jaws of death iu Richardson col- liery, near Glen Carbon, a suburb of Potts viile, Penn. His helper, August Brenuert was taken out of the mine dead several hours later. Roth men were found side by sido, the one covered by a dense mass of ���oa], and the ot^er sitting in a space that left uo room for him to movo anything but hia head. Ditzel was so weak he had to be handled like a helpless babe. Hit body is painfully bruised,but the doctors attending him say he will live. He begged his rescuers to give him a drink as soon as they reaohed his side. DiUel was too weak to expreaa his joy, but hia wasted features, telling a tale of suffering, answered the tender solicitude of his wife aod relatives with a feeble smile. Ditzel was found at the face of the east manway, about ninety yards from ihe gangway, in breaat No, 30. The breast was filled witb ooal, and how ha escaped the fate of Brenner la next to a miracle. The rescuers first struck a leg. It wat oold aud siiil. Presently another leg came to view. Then a third leg was uncovered. The men could root tell which waa Diunl's leg or which was Brenner's, Itwasatangle of human legs without the trunk, At last Ditzel was liberated. The heavy ooal that pinned him to the side of ihe manway was removed, and his deliverers had the happy satisfaction ot taking him ont of the narrow aperture alive, Ditzel had only been able to uso the lower part of one leg during hit confinement of fifty-four hours, and wat thus enabled to feel the stiffened limbs of poor Brenner. Brenner died of suffocation, and his body down to his knees was covered with coal and dirt. The rush of coal liberated a great body of water, and Ditzel was eoaked clean through when taken out of the mine. His body was terribly shriveled and bloached from the effects of the mine water, and his body was numb from the cold. The drippings that came from the crevices overhead fell over him, and a drop occasionally struck his tongue, whioh eagerly licked up the life-saviag moisture Ditzel a clothes were removed when he reached the surface and be wu wrapped in blankets. Ditzel could not hava survived hla terrible sufferings much longer. HOW THE FRINGE DINES. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND HIS LIGHT DAILY MENU.

Dinner begins promptly at 8:45 p. m. when the Prince of Wales is at Marlborough House, London, and lasts for one hour and tea minutes, at hit Royal Highnest insists upon rapid service. This it probably due to the faot tbat England's heir ia a great sufferer from dyspepsia, and, partaking of only few dishes, ha wearies if he remains longer at table. Till PRIMCI OF WALKS AS GOLOSH, OF THE KIEFF BBOIIIENT. Only four or five footmen and ona butler are permitted to enter the dining-room, whioh is situated some distance from the kitchen. But a large coips of assistants stationed there and in the pantries expedite matters. Gas is used exclutively In the kitchen. There it a gas-grill, a gaa rout spit, gas fran.es for entree dishes while theae are being decorated. Returning to tha dining-room, this will be found brilliantly lighted, and the table richly but not overdressed with ailver and flowers. Tha menu oarda ara severely plain, narrowly bordered with gold and ornamented with the royal crest. Tbey are alwaya printed in Frenoh, and the courses divided into a first and tecond service. A couple of mutton obopa, tome Graham toast, dry, and a glua of olaret usually constitutes the Prinoe'a dinner. While more elaborate, that served to the Princess of Walet and bar family it, comparatively speaking, plain. Turtle soup It served in a ailver dish, bisque of any kind in a ohina plate. In the next courao a similar alternation is noticeable, fillet* of trout being dished on an oval silver entree platter, while the soles are aerved on a ohina plate on a bed of rice.

The key to the Eastern position is not now Armenia, hut Macedonia. It is understood that in Macedonia mines have been laid for an insurrection which is intended shall involve Bulgaria, Servia, and Greece in active dispute for a division of the ter- ritoiy uf Turkey in Europe, finally leading the great powora to Intervene, Aocording to an article iu the London Speaker, which is supposed to disseminate the ideas of the liberal Ministry, the Macedonian question will probably soon become a burning one and its solution will finally diapoae uf the rule of Islam iu Europe, According to the programme the signal for an explosion ia to be given iu Macedonia by au uprising of the Christians there. The inhabitants of this faith are in a majority in that country, and besides they have friends close at hand who are ready to take their side iu any contingency. It is assumed by the writer iu the Speaker that the power- will not use force to prevent Bulgaria, Greece, and Servia from taking part in a revolution in Macedonia, and these propositions put into the form of threats may be partly aimed at the Sultan in order to coerce him into usent to an Anglo-Russian policy in Armenia. Lessons orthe Brooklyn Strlk Another serious labour disturbance has now reaohed ita expected conclusion in Unole Sam's dominions, and ihe strikers by adopting theti.icidat method of resort* ing to violence, have brought nothing but trouble upon themselves and those who aided them. The hiatory of the Brooklyn strike is similar to that of many other great strikea in the United States aod elsewhere. The men suddenly threw up their plaoea, leaving the companies without any means of running the cars, as they had been given no opportunity of hiring new men. When the companfea began to re* cruit a new force, tha old employes and their sympathizers resorted to violence of every sort. As the days passed, and it became olear that a full force oould speed* ily be secured if the men who were glad of a chance to take the places were allowed to work, the strikers grew more desperate and the disorder became so serious that the militia had to be called out to restore order. Meanwhile public sentiment, which had at first been decidedly favorable to the strikers, slowly but aurely shifted until it wu overwhelmingly against tbe anarchy that the strike had come to represent. In the end, u waa inveitablc from the start, the forces of order have triumphed. Tbe conclusion once more is that strikes of that aort never pay.

At thit juncture the catbier of the Citizsns' Bank, across the street, who aaw the affair, rushed in with a shotgun and arrested the robber, who was then turned over to the polioe.

PRACTICAL FARMING. Successful Dairymen. "When practicable, milking should be done by the same person, and with regularity u to time. He only that hath cleau hands should be allowed to milk a cow, says Geo. Abbott. "I say he, because I think the men of the farm Bhould do the milking, at least during the winter montha. 1 li.. ve exercised the right of changing my miud on thia subject sinco I left the farm. Jt is no more difficult lo milk with dry hands than with them wet. It is cortaiuly more cleanly, and leaves the mil** in a much moro desirable condition for table use or manufacture. Pure stable atmosphere is indispensable to prevent contamin* ation from that source. Immediate straining will remove impurities wbioh otherwise might be dissolved to the permanent. injury of the whole product. 'After the straining is attended to, the milk should be aerated. Too often it in poured into one large can and left there just as the cows havo given it. Thai neglect implies three things that are very injurious tu its quality for cheese malting, ll). The peculiar odor which the oow im* parts to the milk will bo left in it until it becomes fixed in the flavor. (2). Tho germs of fermentation that come in the milk and from the air have the best condition for growth and aotion when the milk is left undisturbed, (It). Then the milk will become almost unfit for thorou-*h coagula- tion by rennet. Hence itisneedful aud advantageous to aerate it for three reasons. Firat, because by pouring, atirring.dipping or by trickl'uff it over nu exposed surface there is eliminated from the milk by evaporation any objectionable volatile clement that may be in it. Secondly,hecauae, u has already been stated, the milk contains germs of fermentation. Ono of theae are called vibrionu, A strange peculiarity about these microbes is that they become active only iti the absence of free oxygen. Win n Warm new milk ia left undisturbed carbonic gas is generatod.and that furnishes the best condition for the commencement of action by these almost invisible creatures. After they get started they can keep up their work of decomposition even in the presence of oxygen, it ia impossible to so coagulate such milk u to yield a fine quality of keeping cheese. Coagulation by rennet of milk that ia ripe can never be perfect unless it has been thoroughly aerated immediately after it is taken from the cow. Neglect of aeration will increase the quantity of milk required to mako a pound of cheese. Thirdly, because tho airing seema to give vigor to the germs of fermentation that bring about an acid condition of the milk without producing the acid. So muoh ia this so that it has been found impracticable to make strictly lirat- clous cheddar cheese from milk that has not been aerated." Give Them Good Care. With a dairy herd that has not been well sheltered and fed during the winter, the spring is a very trying season. The cows are thin in flesh and weak correspondingly. Often they are forced to live on straw und other fodder whioh should be thrown to them between meals, to be picked over at leisure only through the cold days of midwinter, and ai soon as the snow begins to disappear and the ground becomes frozen they are permitted to roam over the lots ot will, picking the dry, dead grass from the corners ot the fenoes and enjoying thorn- selves as beat they can, with occasional days of sunshine in the raw blasts lhat sweep across the fields, chilling them tothe vory marrow. This allowing cuttle to roam about at large in the fields, during the early spring, is a mistaken and very bad practice, too commonly indulged in by many. It is much bettor to keep them sheltered, turning them cut to broathe tho fresh air only in warm, sunny days. If they are thin in flesh, they are in no condi tion to resist tho chilly winds, and tho stubble grass and dead tufts in tho corners of the lencea, which they pick up, doe them more harm than good,only diatendin their craving stomachs without affording them any nourishment. It is a burden to get rid of, and makes them feverish an costive. Thoy ought to bo generously fed and prepared for their coming work, if they are cows. Tho burden of calf-bearing and the milk-producing that ia to follow, call for plenty of good hay and a liberal supply of grain, to give them strength and furnish a supply of nourishment tor tho calf as woll u aa abundance of material out of whioh to elaborate milk. Nor should this full feeding of hay and rain be discontinued as soon aa tho grass logins to start. Gorging with that relaxes the system, loosens the bowels, and makva the cow feel weak, lazy and faint. This sudden ohange from dry to green feed gives too great a shook to the system to maintain perfeot health. Every one knows how green grass operates upon horses. It makes them weak and flabby, loose and lacy, and so they are supplied with hay and grain until the working eeuon is over and they are turned out for a run on the grass. A cow Is no less severely worked in giving birth to her calf and elaborating a generous flow of milk. Besides her labor,she hu no aeuon of rest, when she oan roam at leisure, doing nothing. She must oontinuo her work through the summer and fall season, whatever may be the weather or condition of tlie feed, and then enter upon another six months' siege of dry feed and cold, winter. Her life experience it not one of the great- est possible enjoyment. At all times it ahould be the aim to give her strength and build up her system, bo that it can perform and endure the burdens that ahe ia expected to bear. The better she Is cared snd provided for the better she will do, anil the better sho does tho more sho is entitl - ed to kind ind generous treatment. The greatest profit lies in breeding your best oows to the best blood you can got��� it oosta but little more than poor blood- end then in giving their offspring the beat keep and most kindly treatment yon are capable of. Thia has boen said eo often that it seems alr.oBt useless to repeat it. But progress is ,o slow and so many are penurious and flow to learn, that tho evidence of progress is discouraging.

How One Creamery Hakes Its Butter. The Clover Hill creamery of Derby, Vt., makea ita butter from a herd of high grade JerBeya. The cows have a run of a largo puture hill that ia well supplied with shade and pure water, iu the summer season, and in the winter thoy are housed in a high, well ventilated, clean table. They are watered twice a day in winter, from a large tank of running water in tho yard���tho water being wanned. Their feed consists of well cured timothy and olover hay aud cut corn fodder snd a ration of ground oats, corn and mill focd.

Feeding Rations A rather conservative dairyman iu discussing the ration problem saya, "the moat skillful chemist iu the world cannot in hia laboratory, lay down rules or compound rations that shall give the very best returns poaaihle from each rue of 2o good dairy cows." This is very true, but it is equally true that the agricultural chemist can lay down certain general rules wliioh will enable any intelligent dairyman, tu vastly improve en the unscieutib* methods which so generally prevail.

A large proportion of all cramps and paint can be relieved by waler of proper temperature and intelligently applied. In cose of burns from acida or alkaliu.us* cold water fieely, aa every application will tend to dilute them and render them leu liable to injure tbe akin. In case of a wound where there is considerable bleeding use cold water applications freely. For bruiaes, the immediate application of old water, nr some evaporating lotion���auch aa camphor or weak tincture of aru ice���is the beat treatment for alleviating sulfering aud hutening tha abioipiion of blood. U lieu a sprain occurs, loae no time in attending to it, however trivial it may appear. Ascertain whether there has been a fracture or dislocation. If so, send tor a physician u soon aa poaaible and keep perfectly quiet until he arrives. If there it no fracture or displacement of bouea, but only exceaaive awolling about the joint, bathe the injured member in aa hot water u poaaible. Bathe for fifteen to thirty min* utea, renewing the water occasionally and applying with a sponge. Then wrap the injured member in ttript of lltunel saturated wiih hot water and cover wilh dry clothe. Do not uae tha aprained member until recovered. Complete rest ia the only cure for a sprain.

In cue this does nol succeed the bleeding can be stopped by vigorous action of the Jaws, If a child, a wad of paper may be placed In the mouth, and tin child instructed to chew hard. It is the motion of tho jaws that stops the flow of blood. To ease rheumatic pains, boil a few po- latuee and use the hot water in which they were boiled. Dip some cloths in, wring out, and apply as hot aa possible. A amall vegetable press, auoh m are retailed for twenty-five cents, is excellent to wring out hot cloths, It aavea time and scalded handa. In case of a cut or jagged wound, amoke the wound with burned flannel on which has been placed a email quantity of tugar. Sprinkle a little sulphur over the wound and tie up with bandages and it will heal immediately. A very dangerous wound, made by a sewing machine needle, where the needle fragments were found to have been bent almoat double against the bone, was oured in this manner. Ttie danger of lockjaw aud the extreme pain were entirely removed by holding the injured finger antl arm over the smoke of woolen cloth burned over the coals.

Aa Inflrirnl la the Life ��r��� Itabf. A despatch from Baiavia, N, V., says ���(ieorge H. Siroble of Klba was on hie way to Baiavia. It wu getting dark, and the snow was falling and drifting as it fell. Two miles from Batavia's corporate limits the wu lipped out of his sleigh and wen heels over head into a enow bank. His head wu very close to what looked like a bundle of shawla, but a faint cry told him a ditlerent talc. Picking it up he satisfied himiclf that it wu a real live baby. For several minutea Strnble stood undecided, hardly realizing what had befallen himself ���or the baby, either. Finally he got back into his sleigh, and with wonderment on his countenance and the baby in his care, he started again for Baiavia. He had travelled on for about two milea, when a ng drove up behind him at a rapid rate, and a German occupant ca'.lod out to him : "Have you seen anything of a baby alour* lhe road !" "Here it ia," quickly aaid Siroble, u he caught the baby in hia armt aud almoat ran to the olher cutter with it, so glad wu ho logs- il '.ti hia handa. An explanation followed. Tlie mao'a wife had gone to Batavia with hia littio dam-liter aud the baby.

The poor gravelling pessimist cannot judge fairly any question of life, while a cold dislike for all things is his ruling passion. The marriage relation should not be met with the grim visage ofa shylock, but rather wilh good cheer, hope and true love, should a man enter this paradise of human happiness. The idea of "making another unhappy" cannot out-weigh the poaibitily of greater happiness; and what woman will not forgive thc'weakness'of a true maa? Or what woman would not rather suffer the little ills of married life, than thc unloving, lonely state of celibacy. It is cruelty to suffer a woman to struggle alone m thii hard world with all its disadvantages. The brightest feature in the question has been o"��rlooked���the happiness of home. No better institution has been known than this; it is above the price of silver; It is the consequence of true love, thc shrine ef the human heart, and the greatest of all human accomplishments. In it the sweetest natures grow, the most noble characters form, and true felicity abounds. It is an inner world peopled with kindred hearts that are bound bv increasing love, that intensifies every pleasure of life, and realizes every fond wish ofthe soul. It softens and soothe* the fretful, bears the bill dens of the weary, and binds the broken heart ed in this bitter world. Happy is the land that is full of proper homes, and thrice happy the nun, above all men, who has onc, and cherishes a wife and family, fulfilling his mission here and living as a maa should live.
