 .-V.' ' fi- ,â-  it ^j UASSISO FZOFX.E. By Xionlse Cliandler Monlton. The only possible secret between two mar- ried people should be those which are confid- ed to either one of tbem by others. While some people, who call themselves worldly wie, will laugh at the idea of such perfect confidence as this implies, others still, especially the newly married, who bave bat small worldly experience, will be shocked that I should suggest the keeping of any kind of secret by either wife or husband from the other. I am not prepared to say that these last are not the wiser of the two. Oaly, in that sase, when any confidence is proffered to either husband or ^ife, the recipient of it should make his or her position clearly understood. Possibly there is a certain hardness toward old friends in requiring them either to dis- pense with the sympathy wehave been wont to give tbem, or else to submit their weak- ness and trials to the cold judgment, the cynical consideration of a man or a woman who has for them no tender toleration bom of loving mtiniacy. Yet it would be better to refuse ever to listen to another confidence while the world stands than to receive a secret to keep when its custody wou'd be a wound to the one whose happiness should be our first object. Some wives and some husbands are large-minded enough and free enough from jealousy not to be trou- bled by the knowledge that a confidence has been bestowed in which they cannot share, and then there can be no barm in such a confidence. But no personal secret can fitly belong to one only of the two people of whom love and and law have made one flesh. The very ideal of marriage has been realized by that old Jndge, who had knelt for so many years to say a last prayer at night beside his wife, and when at last she had left him, his lips were dumb, and without her he could not even open his heart to God. One frequent cause of trouble in married life is want of openness in business matters. A husband marries a pretty thoughless girl, who has'beenused to taking no more thought as to how she should be clothed than the lilies of the field. He began by not liking to refuse any of her requests. He will not hint, so Jong as he can help it, at care in trifling expenses â€" he does not like to as- sociate himself in her mind with disappoint- ments and self-denial. And she, who would have been willing enough, in the sweet eagerness to please of her girlish love, to give up any whims or fancies of her own what- ever, falls into habits of careless extravagance, and feeis herself injured when, at last a remonstrance comes. How much wiser would have been perfect openness in the beginniug " We have just so much money to spend this summer. Now, shall we arrange matters thus or thus ' was a question I heard a very young husband ask his still younger bride not long ago ar.dall the womanhood iu her answered to thir, demand upon it, and her help at planning and counseling helped and proved not a tiling to be despised, though hitlierto she had ' " fed upon the roses and lain among the li it-s of life." I tin noc speaking of marriages that are no mar- riages â€" whce Venus has .wedded .Vulcan â€" because Vulcin prospered at his forge â€" but niarriag s where t\vo true hearts have set out together, 'for love's sake to learn the lessons of 1 fe and live together till death shall p;irt them. And one of the first lessons for them to learn is to trust each other entirely. The most frivolous girl of all "the rosebud gard n of girls," if she truly loves, acquires something of womanliness from her love, and is ready to plan and help make her small sacrificRS for the general gooii. Try her and you will see. But if you fail to tell her just how much you have, and just what portion can be properly spent, and what portion should be saved for the nest-egg, in which her interest is not less than your own, then you cannot justly blame her if she is care ess aud self-indulgent, and wishes to-l;iy to want- to-morrow. There are thousands of little courtesies, also, that should not be los sight of in the cruel candor of marriage. The secret of a great social success is to wound no one's self-love. The same secret will go far toward making marriage happy. Alany a woman who would colisider it unpardonable rude. ess not to listen with an air of interest to what a mere acqna'ntance is saying, will have no leastscrupie in showingher husband that his talk wearies her. Of course, the best t'ning is when talk does not weary â€" when two people are so unified in taste that whatever interests the one is of equal interest to the othc r, but this cannot always be the cose, even in a happy marria£;e and is it not better worth while to take the small trouble of paying courteous attention to the one who depends on you for his daily happi- ness than even to bestow this courtesy on the acquaintance, whom it is a transient pleasure to please â€" Our Continent. gether, Stinson being so placed that his broken legs were well np from the (ground.

Woman's Beanty. It waa a very proper answer to him who asked why any man should be delighted with beauty, that it was a question that none but a blind man could ask since any beautiful object doth so much attract the sight of all men that it is in no man's power not tc be pleased with it. â€" [Clarendon.

The criteron-of true beauty is that it in- creases on examination of fa'se, that' it lessens. There is something, therefore, in true beanty that corresponds with right reason, and is not merely the creature of fancy. â€" [Gr eville.

" Berlin Jus not JM Jo listen to such a sensatumal and painfnl stoiy of crime for a long time, and certomly ths black calender of the city of intell^ce is by no means pleasant reading. The chiet actor in the present tragedy was a man named Conrad, aged 34, who began life a« a philosophic tailor, somewhat after the style of Kinesley's Alton Locke, and after roam- ing through the ffamut of various occupa- tions, including military service, ended by strangling in one night his wife and four children. The trial of the murderer, which excited the deepest interest, as it was feared that the evidence against him might possibly break down, has disclosed a terrible degree of social depravity well calculated to make the humanitarians of the nineteenth cen- tury pause and think. Conrad, the " family murderer," as the newspapers term him, is a man, for his station in life, of ?reat force of ch.racter, intelligent, inquirinz, wel-read, inventive, ready, and of remark- able self-possession. He had been a dili- gent reader of the poet Schiller and of the naturalist Charles Darwin, and his desultory course cf study had ended in making him, like many others of his class in Germany, a believer in nothing whatever. Not only had he renounced all his religious faith him- self, but he had compelled his wife to leave the Church, and brought up his children in heathen darkness. The struggle for existence grow ever harder with him. He transferred his affeet- ons from his own wife to another unmarried woman. He denied the paternity of two of his children, and his household became a perfect hell. He wanted to bs free to marry the object of his second love, and with one blow he cut the five-fold knot that bound him to his vows. In the night between the 11th and 12th of August last he strangled his wife and four children while they slept. In the morning the corpses of the mother and her youngest chi d were found hanging at the back of a door, while the dead bodies of the other three were discovered similarly suspended in a wardrobe. On the mother's bed lay a volume of Schiller open at the poem of the " Kindermorderinn " (child murderess) which the father had placed there to as to suggest to the officers of justic3 that his wife had committed both infanticide and suicide. This was the critical point of the wliole case â€" whether the father or the mother had committed the terrible crime, and but for the judicial habit here of cross questioning prisoners, there is no saying how far the diabolical craft and coolness with which Conrad planned and executed ihe deed^^ with his calm tnd se'f-collected demeanqV in court, might not have aided him. A letter of triumph, however, which he wrote to his mistress before the breath could have been long out of his wife's body, formed a strong link in an otherwise somewhat fragile chain of circumstantial evidence, so he was found guilty and condemned to death. His own theory was that, having had a quarrel with his wife on the night in quesfion, he rushed out of her insupportable presence in- to another room, where he fell asleep, and that then the mother did the fearful havoc. In the morning he sent for a locksmith to pick the lock which he hinoself had fasten- ed, a*id he made a mrst dramatic pretence of weeping and fainting when confronted With ths results of his nocturnal handiwork. Fiction, however, yielded to reality when sentence of death waa pronounced, upon bim, and when, altogether collapsing, he had to be brought round with wine. To detail the social depravity revealed by this trial would only shock your readers. 4 aank Teuer-s Trioic.

The other night Ro£;er Stinson had both of his legs broken while at work ii the Chollar croppincjs. The accident occurred oO feet below the surface of the ground. Therp were two ca\-eT or falls cf rock. When Mr. Stinson was knocked down and paitially covered up by the first, his comrades did not hesitate to run to his assistance and do all in their power to extricate him, though a second fall c f rock upon the same spot was imminent. Indeed they were only driven back when the se 'ond mass was in actual motion â€" fading. Twice was the un- fortunate man covered up in caves of earth and rocks, bat his friends stood by him, though all about them was crumbling and threatening to come in. When he was finally dug out he was utterly helpless as regarded locomotion. He was earned baek to a place of safety, when a messenger was sent for a surgeon. As there waa a shaft 50 feet in depth to be ascended, and the only way of reaching the surface was by means of a rope and bucket, the miners thought that a surgeon could come down into the mine and in some way so mend the legs of their wounded companion as would enable him to go up in he bucket. When the surgeon came he said it was of no use to try to do anything with the msn down in tb^ mine he must be brought out. The miners descended and set to work upon the problem.

Dowager Duchess of Galleria not long smce bestowed two splendid estates on the Pope. The way this old lady became so rich IS curious. The Duke possessed a for- tune of 300,000,000 francs, which would by the ordmary course of devolution, go to his only son. The heir, however, in his father's lifetime, declared; that he intended to re- nounce the world. Instead of retiring to a cloister, as he would have done in the middle ages, he went in his twentieth year into the territory of Nice and applied for a situation as a village schoolmaster. His father regard- edthis thing as a mere freak, and sent his son every year 300.000 francs. The young man, however, sent this sum every year to Pans, requesting it should be expended on the poor. After three years the Minister of Instniction finding out who the school- master of Nice was, appointed him to a high official post and his fatker dying about the same time, he became tie Duke of Galleria and owner of immense wealth. He declined tae post, and allowed hi mother to use hS fortune without interference, content with his position and income is a teacher at Nice. A Russian Crisis. Fears are expressed in Russia at the pro- bability of another severe commercial crisis similar to that of 1873. The main cause is the remarkable drop in the price of com which has resulted during the last few weeks from the abundance of theJharvest in West ern Europe and America, A little while ago merchants were readily buying up wheat frijJ'**® °^ rouble and forty copecks (2s lOd) the pood (thirty-six pounds), giving a quarter that amount in cash as hard monev to clench the bargain. Suddenly the demand tor com from abroad ceased and the price dropped heavily, until a few days ago 85 copecks, or Is 8d per pood was being refused on the exchanges of Russia. In this man- ner there are thousands of merchants in Kussia who have beught corn for 23 lOd the pocd, which they cannot hope to sell for naorethon eighteen pence, or little more thon half that am ount. How enormous the losses must be m consequence is UlustEated by a remarkable piece of generosity on the part of Count Branitzky. All the corn on his estates, amounting to 800,000 ooods or over 10 000 tons. had%een soKa rouble and 40 copecks the pood, and when he found that the buyers Uld only obtafn 80 copecksfor It in the market, he released ng £50°(So"'f" Tt" *•"« relinquish ing £50,000 at a stroke.
