John, boiicd the state of matrimony/'
“1 he state of ma>rimotiy is bound
on
the North by solicitude; on the East by
doublenrctible, on the West by vexa
lion.’
“What are its chief products t*
‘I eevish batjies, scolding wives, hen¬
pecked husbands, smoked coffee, burnt
ham, sour-pies.’
“What is said ot its climate V
“It has a more varied temperature
than that of any other state in existence.
In that portion cf it called Honey mooli
the climate is salubrious and healthydhe
atmosphere laden with the sweets of the
flowers bf Ilympn. In soriie parts the
inhabitants experience a freezing cold
reception when they expect most warmth;
and in sortie other parts there is the burn¬
ing sbiisation of the tdrid zone.
“Sometime^ a fellow’s house in the
state of matrimony gets tob hot to hold
hiiri, and; strange, t > say, he travels w ith
all speed not to, but from the poles,
where cold is supposed to exist.’
“.Sarah, has John given a correct out*

Wait,—A ail, husband, before you
wonder audibly why your wife dori’t iget
along with the household responsibilities
as your uiothef* did. She is doing her
best—and no woman cati endure that
best to be slighted. Remember the long
weary nights &he sat up with the little
babe (hat died ; remember the Ibve and
care she bestowed upon vbii when you
had that long fit of illness. Do you
think she is made of cast iron ? Wait,
wait in silence and forbearance, and the
light will comb back to her eyes—the
old light of the old days.
Wait, wife; before you speak reproach¬
fully to your husband when he comes
home late, and weary, and out of sorts.
He has worked bard for you all day—
and perhaps far into the night; he has
wrestled, band in hand, with care and
selfishness, and greed, and rill the’ demons
that follow in the train of nioiiey making;
Let home be another atmosphere entire¬
ly. Let him feel that there is no Other
place in the world w here he cari find
peace, and quiet, and perfebt love.
While a negro man in the ripper part
of Georgia, not long since, was carrying
a child in his arms along a road, a large
eagle swept down upon them and en*
deavoved to seize the child. A little
battle ensued between the parent and the
eagle, the latter getting the better ot it
until a farmer came to the rescue, and
knocked the eagle senseless with an ax,
The bird was captured, and, as it has re¬
covered, it is an object ot' considerable

ItOW SHALL MURDERERS BE HANGED 9
The New York Sun says ; After heal¬
ing the report ot Dr. Win. A. Ilam
mond in' regard to legislative action to¬
ward the investigation of the State Asy¬
lum for the Insahe—in which the sys
Lerti is spoken of as ‘the most hafbarotis
iti the civilized World'— the Medico-Le
gfii Society last evening listened with in¬
terest to a paper by Dr John H. Pack¬
ed of Philadelphia, on ‘The Mode ot
Infliction ot the Death Peridlty.’ Dr.
Packard reasoned that just as the pbvsL
cal terror of punishment is increased,
just So liiuch is the moral effect of the
punishment weakened,' as is proved by
the simultaneous records of the daily
jii-ess of executions and murders, He
gave, among other reasons for opposing
the present mode ot capital punishment,
that its horrors excited the humane sen
iirneril tb an inordinate degree; thereby
taigely increasing chances of acquittal
even foi* the worst criminals. In i’enn
sylvania, he said; if the Governor goes
out cf office without signing the death
warrant bf a ciihiioal. his successors, fol
lowing the lorUr established custom; neg¬
lect to give official sanction to the wlr
*'antj and in one notable cuBe a man
sentenced to death twenty-six yeari ago
is s*ill unhung.
Dr Packard suggested (hat iri place of
the -rope a more humane and decent
rheans of life-taking be em ployed. His
choice w is the administration ot carbonic
oxide in a close room in whibh the crim¬
inal shjuld be placed undeb the direction
of a jury. At the end of ten rhinutes
fredh air should be admitted to the roorti
and the same jury should view the body
and give the necessary certificate as to
d<‘ath. Re advocated tlii§ plan as one
presenting the advantages of economy,
Humanity abid decency.
Mr Ridcfie; one of the many speakers
who followed Dr. Packard, believed tfiat
it the gallbws were dispensed witli we
should substitute something niche hiysn
terious and horrible, ‘Do away with the
rope as a punishinen',’ he said, ‘but give
ns in place of it a terrible punishment by
dead of flight, in sedbecy and mystery,
and let the body of the felon be put so
far away that even the devil cannot find
it;’
-
The Extebience of Ma^L—^? aici a
young husband whose biismess Specula¬
tions we unsuccessful: ‘Alv life’s silver
tea-set, the dona 1 ion • of ii rich uncle;
doomed me to financial ruin. It involv¬
ed a hundred unexpected expenses, which
tbying to meet, made me tlie bankrupt I
am.’ His is the experience of many
others.less wise, who do not know what
is the gobling in the house working des¬
truction. A sagacious father of great
wealth exceedingly mortified his daugh
*er by ordering to be printed on the wed
ding ca-ds : ‘No presents except those
adapted to an income ot $1,000.’ Said
he : ‘You must not expect to begin life
in ilie Style I am able alter many years
of labor to indulge ; and I know ot not fl¬
ing that Vvill tempt you more than^he
well-intended but pernicious gifts of rich
friends.’
Spake Moments. —How many moments
have you tb spare? Five, ten, fifteen!
Much may be done in them. We have
heard of a young man who read through
a History of England, while wriitmg for
his meals at a boarding-horisfi. We have
read of a mathematiciah; who is said to
have composed an elaborate work when
visiting with his wife, duviHg the inter
val when she fir£t rose td take leave ot
her fmnds and the moments wheb she
finished her last words.
The sniall stones which fill up the cre¬
vices hate almost as much to do with
making the fair and firm wall as the great
rocks ; So the wise rise of 3pare moments
fciontributes not a little to the building up
in good proportion a man’s mind.

Mr. Dicks is one bf the admired young

claimed His escort from a social gather¬

but that arrangement did not jjlease Mr. the
rivals, who dedfined quarrelled in the stieet;
Dibks to interfere in the con
troversy. He stood aside and told them
to settle the question between themselves,
They did so by a long and severe fight,
in which hair and clothes were torn, fa

length one was vanquished, and Mr.
Dicks gave his arm to the victoi.

two donkeys for carryihg supplies, ri tent,
cooking utensils, a bahieett made bf tin}
and with a capacity ot holdlrig flyb gal¬

Citizen / A subariber writes «s to stop
his paper as he is ‘going td farming.
This is a new and novel reason for step¬

good paper.
It is calculated that if all thfe isecls iff

heap would be greater than that of all
the combined beasts and birds.
