Three months since a young Parisian was traveling per railroa:l, in Giermany, from Augs- burg, to Berlin. The cars, unlike those here, are divided into compartments, like the inside of a coach. the passengers sitting facing each otber. In the compartment he selected were four other persons. two mamas and two daugh- ters. The two mothers were face to face in one corner, the young man took the opposite, and found himself face to face with the young la- dies He soon after fell into a brown study, during which the conductor repeatedly de- manded his ticket without success, and the young ladies were secretly laughing at his be- wildered air. Suddenly resorting to a ruse, to avoid ridicule. he pretended not to understand German, and transacted his business with the conductor by signs. A moment after the young ladies commenced conversation “This young man is a very handsome one,” said one. “Hist, Bertha,” enid the other, with a sort of affri “ Why, he doesn’t know a word of German. We can talk freely. How do you find him?” “Only ordinary.” “You are dificult ure and distingue air.” “* He is too pale, and besides, you know I d not love dark.”’ “ And you know I prefer dark to blonde. We have nothing but blonds in Germany. It is monotonous and commonplace.”’ “You forget that you are blonde.” “Oh, for women it is different. He has pretly moustaches. ** Bertha, if your mother should hear you !”" “She is busy with her talk; besides, it is no hurt to speak of moustaches.”’ a: I prefer the blonde moustaches of Freder- He has a charming fig- “I understand that. Frederick is espoused to you; but I, who am without a lover, am free to exercise my opinions. and am {free to say, thet this young man has beautiful eyes.” “ they have no expression.”’ “You do not know, Lam sure he has much spirit, and it is a pity he dees not speak Ger- man. He would chat with us.”’ * Would you marry a Frenchman ’”’ * Why not. if he looks like this one, and was spirited, well-born and amiable. But I can hardly ist 2 from laughing. See, he doesn’t mistrust what we are saying.” The young traveler was endowed witha great wer of self-control. He looked carefully at rtha, and his resolution was taken. At a new station, the conductor came again for the tickets. Our young man with extra elabora- tion, and in excellent (ierman said: “ Ab, you want my ticket. Very well—let me see; | believe it is in my portmonnaie. Ob, yes, here it is.” The effect was startling. Bertha nearly faint- ed away, but soon recovered under the polite apologies of the young Frenchman. They were leased with each other, and in a few weeks ertha ratified her good opinion of the young man, and her willingness to marry a Frencl.- man. They live at Hamburg. Wry Coveins stovin Nor Marry —tla the Annual Report of the Superintendent of the Ken- tucky Institution for the Deafand Dumb, we Gad the following elusive argument against the marriage of cousins: From 10 to 20 pet cent. of deaf mutes are the children of cousins [tis greatly to be regretted that the law forbidding the marriage of first cousins did not pass the re cent Legisisture. These marriages are violations of the law of natnre, as is evidenced by the af- fictions visited in almost every case upon their offspring in deafuess, blindness and idieey—and ought to be a violation of human laws also. The Commonwealth has a clear right to protect itself against these tll-starred m hes whose wffpring they have to snstain, freq Uy for life be hoped that this important subj-ct will not cape the attention of our leyistators many years longer Iti pitidently believed that by for- bidding marriages of this kind proper attention and care of infants laboring under the diseases stated, the number of deaf mutes in the community might be diminished one half ina grneration.

He made his desires known, and wa« handed, by accident, a copy of the Bible, and did not discover the mistake. Taking the book home, one of the company wh» could read a little by spelling the hard words, opened in the book of Judges, and read the story, aloud, of Sivera being killed by Joel, Heber’s wife, with a bammer and a nail. The story was Listened to witb profound attention until finished of the listeners jumped up and exclaim of Jim Beckworth's fies!

Itis titthat bad men should scow!, and Jook blue, but he who has God’s smile of appro- bation apon bim should show the radiance upon his countenance. An honest man—the man with @ good conscience —let him enjoy sleeep, and his dioner, and the love of his wife and the prat- tle of bis children, and show a beaming face to his neighbor.
