But if not, woo to the day on which tho wiudfall came I Whether it ahal! prove to us n god send, or a curse, depends entirely upon our uso of it. A loss may be u good if through its means wo develop these graces that come from tho‘patient endurance of life’s hard aud heavy things. In either case wo aro not to estimate them by what they aro iu thorasolvos. This is but a superficial, and thus a false view to take. What they make of us is what determines tlioir value. Ono of the first times I over preached without notes, ft friend said to n.o, “ One disad vantage is. that you haven't got the ser mon, now it is preaohed.” “Yes,” 1 said, “ but I've gotth 1 practice of going without it." A botanist makes a fine collection of lenves and flowers, and graanoH. When done, tho fire takes it." But tho best part—tho drill and prac tice and kuowlcdgo acquired in ranking tho collection—these are left, anil they are worth more than a dozen collec tions. Tho practice and study of col lecting makes even a botanist. But one might own the colleotion forever and know nothing about it. A painter by long yours of work becomes skilled in oye, and finger, and judgment and im agination. At the ago of 50 lie h>-1Ih ail his pictures to Rome one ricli enough to buy them. He lms left only eye and finger, and judgment, and imagination, and the skill of all these. But these sro as much superior to ono of his pict ures as God is to tho eartli he has made. Ho is an # artist. But tho man who fills his house with his paintings may be only a down. What ho becomes in his work is wortli more than all he producos or what he gets paid for it. You can buy pictures ; but you can't buy genius and skill.—M. J. Savage. Where It All Cornea From. A writer on “hair" says: Though tho day for the best bargains lms gone, it is still not uncommon to obtain a magnificent ohevelura from a Breton peasant for a gaudy cotton harnlk robiof or a twenty sous pair of earrings. Ty ing his horse to a spreading Iree, the hair-monger, armed with a formidable pair of scissors, soon attracts a orowd of village maidens, who, after a little haggling, submit to ho sheared like so many sheep. After dextrously and gracefully clipping tho locks, lie de posits them, neatly tied, in his bas kets, and Jeannie ’is liberated, to* be greeted with shouts and laughter from her companions, for so well has the work been done that her head lias the appearance of being shaved. Nowhere but in Brittany will the girls submit to this wholesale cropping, insisting upon preserving a few thin locks, at least, of nature’s fairest gifts. In that province, however, where the custom is for wom en to wear hideous, close-fitting caps, hair which would bo tho glory of Arac-r icau ladies is useless, and it is there that the hair-merchant reaps his richest harvest.” I'klUllTkl).

A marriage took place towards the oloso of April in the town of Bhowuug- gur, in iho KtUtywur peninsula, which, illustrates tho pertinacity of custotps in India, and gives iih at 01100 a curious uud iulerestiiig picture of native life. Bhownitggur is a town distant from Bombay about 200 miles, is the capital of a slate bearing the same name--a stato whose ruler is his Highness Tuk- hntsingh Juwuutsiiig. whose official ti tle is Thukore. The Thukoro completed on tho 10th of April his soveutoeutk year, and is consequently a minor ac cording to Britit-h notions, and, there fore, holds his slate under administra tors. But according to native ideas lie is every inch a man a ml a ruler, and hence tho poor young “follow had to marry four wives on tho very day he came of ago. To marry four wives even in the eusL oil tho sumo day is n most unusual thing, and tho rousou why lie was hound to lake four bettor Jiulves will be made plain by aud by. Mean while let us attend tho oaremony ami hasten to Bhownuggur. It is tho 19th of April, and wo can scarcely move in Bhownuggur for tho crowds who aro making holiday, and I rejoicing with a goyoty of demeanor and richness of coloring that make a Roman carnival scorn lame. And well may thero bo this huge congestion of festivity—sounds and sights of joy on all sides, and stretching aud vibrating far—for tho rejoicing is produced by fourfold action, and four brides are be ing honored to-day. The Thakore mar ries (1) tho daughter of tho Groat Chief of Wudwan, a princess fourteen years old ; (2) the sister of tho heir apparent of tho GonduL dynasty, w*ho is only fifteen years old; (8) tho sister of the father of tho reigning Chief of Nanka- neor, aged twenty-two; and (1) the daughter of a very opulent landowner of Dunk, at Taluja, aged only ton or eleven years. Wudwan was the first wifo, as in her veins there flowed tho 4 ‘ bluest blood," while Gondiil, the socond, is not only tho wealthiest—having brought an immense dowery—but the most pleasant to her husband. Wonderful to relate, she can "read a little English and desires to learn to play on the piano." Long before this auspicious 19th day of April tho festivities con nected with the fourfold wedding com menced, tho brides having to be brought from their respective homes by tho trusty retainers despatched with all due formality by tho young Thakore. Then came tho processions uud marches and counter-marches by sunlight and star light, and tho torches blazing, and the long bray of tho heralding horn, and behind tho “dancers dancing in tune." What a picture Millais would havo made of it all I Tho Thakore’s mounted and foot guards; the huge elephants, fling ing about their trunks und swaggering under tlioir howdahs of blue and gold ; the camels and palfreys ; the drummers, with their tom toms; the royal chariot followed by an interminable lino of car riages, and on all sides the masses of Bhownngger admiring tho rich robes of the courtiers, their gold and tinsel flash ing and flickering iu tho sun, the horses and camels dyed of various hues and patterns, funtastic or grotesque, the flags flounting the blue sky, the gar lands and plates of gold on vermilion- strenked buffaloes which drew the lessor nobility. But there woro many things tho onudi of Millais would be power less to render in this Oriental hoodoo, and ho would havo to ask tho imagina tion of the spectator to supply the buzz of myriad voioos, the shrieks of pin aud twang of guitar, tho bray of tlte trumpet, tho trump of the drum, tho laughter aud gay talk of tho oourtiora and of tho Rajah himself, who Rooms to bo a vory pleasant fellow’. There wni tho sumo tumult and oolor and gorge- ousness about all tho prooossions— about those despatching the envoys and thoso which attended their reappear ance. Iu tho midst of tho rolling crowds came tho olosely-ourtainod oars of tho bridges, drawn by oxen having tlioir horns ouoased in thick plates or gold, tho silver bells depending from the gar lands round tlioir throats tinkling ns they trotted along. All Bhownuggur lms come out to meet the bridal proces sion : alms are lavished on the poor ; silks and gold on tho rich ; the people aro frantic with joy and oxoitomeut; ro so-water hisses gently through tho air; garlands nro flung hither and thither; attar of roses and sandal falls as thick as if tlioro was a thunder-storm of clouds made up of exhaled purfumo, Tho brides, following native otiquette, oamned outside the walls of tho city until the happy day, when at high noon, under the waving palms and quivering tamarinds, a procession, headed by the young bridegroom laughing and joking, goes to totoh bride No. 1. She, too, lms set out. See I Her rath, or car, comes in sight, and tho eager aud gal lant Thakore throws himself from his splendid steed, rushes forward, (tutors the ruth, and seats himself beside the prino hh —an ifmovation. it being tho custom hitherto for tho bride to sit at the feet, of tho bridegroom on his enter ing the ear, in order to indicate her sub- smvionoy. The cortege now proceeds to the house of a relative of tho Tim- koto, whore, in the centre hall, in the presouoe of about a hundred of tho noblest Ragpoots of Kattvwar, tho mar riage ceremony is performed. The rite is simple. A few flowem are strewn ; utter and pan distributed : the Doity’s blessing invoked ; the bride authenti cated • and then tho sacred caftan is re moved, aud tho bridegroom for tho first time eatchey a glimpse «»f tho girl lie lms married ! Immediately tho young bridegroom wont out to show hiinsoll to t ie ohiering crowds, mid then took Ids young bride to the palace. To make a long story short, he went forthwith ami did likewise to tho three other brides. But it would bo a mistake to "Oppose that when tho fourth marriage was over all was at an end. They do things differently in Bhownuggur, uml dayGiftor day the re’were procession, mul tho young bridegroom was compelled to go about with his voiloil brides. The troussoaux, our lady readers will he interested to learn, were extravagant ly rich, Gondul having umongst. lior “ kit" about five thousand silk dresses. Wild man'h dowry was 200,000 rupees, Goudill’s tho same Vankanoor’s 100,000 roupcos, and Dank’s 85,000. Tho trousseau of Gondul was tl»o richest, und the oorrespondent was permitted to see a part of it. Huoli a night for a European lady would it have been I ‘Huge slmwls, olothos, scurfs, mantles, uinnterpnncp, and handkerchiefs of lilk, embroidered most elaborately and stiff witli gold unrl silver thread work. Hero was a shawl from Benares with gods in gold and silver worked on a Iiluo ground of softest silk; unotker lay outspread beside it representing a (look of small yollow birds nestling in iutiumi ruble flowery bowers. Ono Kattywar slmwl cost, according to my information, six hundred rupees. Thu most gorgeous of tho other cloths were literally stiff with gold." Especially curious was a silvor veil sprinkled with pale blue ami primrose colored flowers, and “one dress, all blue satin aud silver embroidery, resembled an Italiun sky soon through a gentle shower of snow or lilies. Nearly every cloth lying beforo me cost more than fivo hundred rupees etioh, Around and near these drcssSs lay a most extraordinary littor of various valuables, gold, silvor, nud brass dishes, precious stones, fans, armlets, nose and ear and finger rings, massive ornaments for tho forohoud, breast, and ankle, necklaces sparkling with ruby and diamond, emerald, umethys 1 , topaz, opal, and pearl, rose water bottles of pure gold, basins of silvor, and huge bruHsoooking utensils, robes und tiaras and chains, sapphire pendants und enamelled jugs and ewers, silver lamps aud trinkets rough with precious jewels, and a hundred other articles of value for uso or .ornament." Aud this was but a small part of tho trousHoou of tho brides ! Tho Thakore was educated at tho grent Indian seminary for princes, Raj- ooomar College, which he attended up to the (late of his murriugo, nud proved himself earnest and painstaking, though not brilliant. Wiiy then, it will bo asked, was ho not more enlightened than to marry four wives at his ago? Borne havo oontended thut our English training failod. But no. Tho young prince personally did not wish to take four “ better halves." He had in truth no option. His father lind betrothed him, und honor and native notions com pelled him to carry out his father's wishes. Was he to refuse to marry tiiose girls they would be ruined—be ing placed in tho position of widows— and ho himself would become hated, aud would most likely havo his exist ence terminated by poison by tho secret action of outraged patriots. John Morrisbry'h club house at Saratoga is in full blast. Most open and shameless is the various gambling carried ou iu this really elegant estab lishment. It almost joins Congress Hall, and young gentlemen and old steal away from gay partners in tho waltz in the ovoning, and go from Hie parlors of the Grand Union and United States over to the gambling don of tho illus trious law-maker. A Kalamazoo judge wont to a neigh boring town to see a man, ond tele- graphed bock to his wife, “Have found Garland ; won’t be home in a week " When the dispatch roachcd her it read, “ Have found girl, und won’t be home in a week,” Here let us draw a vail, “ Aro Women Bolls." It is uhoIobh to assert that women art what they were ono hundred years ago, hut is tlioro wood that they should be? Then, every man was in some souse a pioneer. Then, ns much depended upon hor efforts—often upon her notual labor - us upon his. Hi r hands must minister to tho oomforts of hor household,—she must bo both mistress and servant. Not only did she propare tlioir daily bread, but the linen for tho house, and the clothes worn by every member of tho family, from the crude wool or ilax, to tho last stitch in them. She was equally at home iu the dairy, the spinning and weaving’ room, tho parlor, tho kitch en, the garden, or the field. Yon ask " Where aro they?’ Gone with the times in which they lived, gone with tho need for them, gone ns are the strong, »turdy, helpful, brave, wholo souled, honest men to whom they wore helpmeets. It may not bo too much to say that it is as surely folly and weakness to mourn for the people us for tho thirgu of the past, or, iudood, for tho past itsolf. The day lms gono by when women can bo, at lentil here, wlmt our graudmothers were, and the day is but a memory when men required or wished them to he that. I am not iu favor of shirking any blame which properly attaches to use- li sa, wasted, purposeless lives that nro a burdon lo husbands, a curse to chil dren, und a disgrace to woman, but I want to ask who mado thorn wlmt they are ? Meu know ns well us I do that it is tlioir own work, aud having done it, why nro they not' satisfied ? If womou aro dolls, I repeat who made them so, or wlmt are men doing to make them anything better? Bo long ns you show in every possible way tlmt. you give all tho admiration you can sparo from yourself to tho vaiu, pretty, senseless “doll,” rather than to more quiet, sober, earnest women, why should they uot ho dolls, and earn tho premium you offer for folly? So long as tlio belle of the ball-room and the nymph of tho pave are more attractive than tho gentle, modest woman who would blush at a rude stare, why should not all be attractive? Bo long as art is considered fairer than nature, and woman’s beauty depends upon her toilet, why should she uot make it a study ? Bo long as she soes the bold, fast, girl of the period the universal favorite because she is hold and fast, why should she not ho bold and fast too ? I have any amount of protty theories about these, thiugs, but there *iu uo uso in talking, for no far as she knows how,/ wonmn will be the thing slio belioves you admire aud desire. I urn far from danyiug «>*., inHUfyiim facts, but thero is .nothing true under tho heavens than tlmt women aim at be ing wlmt ihoy think men wish them to bo, and imitate wlmt men scorn moBt to udmiro. You uslc whut can bo dono—this: Help her to ho something better than she is now—take your young wives out of hotels and hoarding houses, lot them bo tho honored mistress of a neat, plain cottage home in which they auu fool pride and interest, and which will give thom occupation for hands and brains; givo up your extravagant habits, your cigars, cards, billiards, wine, and the numberless ways in which your small change goes, in ordor that you may pay for your homes, and then you will find hor a willing, loving, generous, patient helpmeet, ready to sacrifice as much or rnoro tliau you, a jowol whoso prioe is abovo rubies. Bo wlmt your grandfath er was —that was good, honest, aud manly, and she will he wlmt tho women of her time were.—Garnet Ji. 1'rtkman. The Child Kidnapped In FliiladelpUIu. It is known every whore that n little four-year-old hoy, tho son of Mr. U. K, Ross, of Gormuutown, has been “ kid napped." That ocourrod on lash Wed nesday two weeks ago. (July 1). Tho little follow was playing with a brother a year or two older, on Washington lane, Germantown, when two men, who woro driving in a wagon along tho^nue, stopped to talk' to tho children and of fered them some candy. The missing child, understanding that he could get a lido in the wagon, childlike, took ad vantage of tho opportunity, and with Itis older hrothor, got into the wagon. The moil thou drove off with both. Bomo hours later, tho wagon hnving in tho mnnntimo boon driven into the northeastern part of the city, tho older hoy was induced to leavo tho wagon and liis younger brother ou tho pres ence of buying somo fire-crackers, and whoa lie returned tho man and tho wagon aud his brother were gono. This older boy was soon retnrued to his home, hut since that time the younger ohild has not been seen by any friendly eye, and his whereabouts are unknown to tho family anil police authorities. Thero was some delay in getting word to tho chief of the detective police, but since lie first got information, we believe ho has worked earnestly, diligently and faithfully to got upon tho track of the child and tho thieves without intermis sion to tho present time. Whether all has been done with tho best judgment or under tho best advice, it would bo prerauturo to say at present. Bo tho matter rests, without result. Tho declared object of tho thieves, or of those for whom they are noting, is to extort n large sum of money by way of ransom after the manner of the bru tal cutthroats called “ brigands,” in Italy and Greece. Heroin they lmvo committed a fatal blunder, us well as ft most atrocious crime. This is not the oity in which snob business can be car ried on.
