such a stupid and 'such an awkward cot

their discomfited owners took refuge from
the street's laughter around another.
So now, it is said, we are to do away
with this sort of thing, and the sensible
and' simple substitute that prevails in
1 Oriental countries is to be adopted. That
mode ooneists in placing the right hand
lmpreseively over the heart and bending
the head alightly forward, se as to make a
noticeable, bat not extravagant obeisance.

She is too young," replied the visitor

Diverse Dlborce Laws.
The °vile of marriage and divorce grow-
ing out of the conflicting laws of the several
states have long claimed public attention.
It ie possible for a marriage valid in one
State to b3 invalid in another ; for persons
to be divorced in one and bound in another ;
for a woman to be a lawful wife in one and
not in another ; for children to be legiti-
mate in one and illieitimate in another ;
for persona to bo lawful heirs in one and
without rights of inboritanoe in another.
These are evils for which the remedy is
not easy and has long been sought in vain.
Tho most effective remedy ,, would bo a
national, uniform- law of marriage and
divorce. Such a law can come only from
Ark Congress after being empowered by a con-
stitutional amendment to enact it. In
lien of this, concurrent action by the several
State legislatures has been urged—each
Adopting a similar code, of marriage and
divorce law. Tho outlook for the realize.
tion of this reform is not very promising..

BY WILLIAM MURRAY.
[From a new volume, just issued, entitled
'—itritant tini s`Grave-"-- The-Piene-and-E#irgee
of Many Bars collected by John D, Ross (New
York), editor of "Celebrated Songs of Scotland,'
and author of " Scottisb Poets in America.")
Illustrious poets lived and sang before
King Ro in warbled. Stirring strains _in
streams,
From his own land alcne, subdued the roar
Of bigots' ban slid sacerdotal screams.
Before and after him old ecotland'e glens
Have echoed with successions of sweet song,
Which hcotland's rocks and rivers, braes and
bens,
In grate•iul sympathy and love prolong.
But Burns, ablaze in wide creation's eye,
Outshines ail rivals ; Jove -like in his mould,'
He clews with equal splendor far or nigh,
And sj shall radiate when creation's cold.
The more the marvels of his muse we measure'
The Mere he fills uswith l.erpetual pleasure.

We could prove that Billy Patterson was never
struck ad ail:
That pensi'<.n agents, as a class, have very little
ball ;
That Charlie Rote was never lost; - that Kem-
oner's living still,
And that everybody's tickled with McKinley's
little bill.
We could back up Groely.'g prophesies and prove
he owned me weather ;
That Sitting Bull is still intact and hasen't losta
feather :
That Dr. Koch's discovery has never failed to
eure,
And that New Year's resolutions a twelvemonth
will eteture—
We could prove all this beyond a doubt, and
other things beside,
If Old Bill Jones were living—Wifat a pity that
he died!
