Carlylo and tieorgo Eliot were literary wonders, and they aro already dropping fiom obser vation. The lattor was buriod at liigli gute, which is already known as the rest iug place of Coleridge. The fact thnthcr husband (John Walter Cross) was so much younger (twonty years) than her self occasioned much comment. This, however, is not without precodent iu lit erary and social life. Ono of the loading clergy in this city is married to a woman ten years his senior, and the union appoars. congonial. Mohamind's wife was twenty years older than Iter husband, and it ia much to tho crodit of tlio lattor that he honored her to tho last, ascribing much of bis success to her as sistance and intlueuco. John Howard, the philanthropist, marriod out of grati tude, a woman who was equally his senior. Sho died withiu a fow years, however, and his nocoiid union was one of love. It was, however, also dissolved by tho death of his wife, and then ho devoted himsolf to philanthropy. Napoleon's first wife, Josophiuo, was his senior by five years, being thirty at tho time of their marriage, whilo he was twouty-tlve. It would have boon well for him bad be valued her conjugal lovo, whoso violatiou was the beginning of his ruin. Aarou Burr also married a widow who, like Josephiue.had two children. Mrs. Burr was ten years oldor than her husband, but the nuiou was very haiTuouioiiH. Sho probably allowed him tho largo liberty with the fair sex to which he had been accustom ed, and thus avoided domestic quarrels. John Wilkes, the famous London agita tor of the last century, married a lady who was ten years his senior; but bIio was not willing to overlook his irregu larities, and hence obtained a divorce. Johnson, the lexicographer, married the widow Porter, who had a small property, lie was acquaiutod with the funulv before the death of her husband, and this holped iu the matter of court ship. Mrs. roitcr was forty-eight, whilo her husband was only twonty-oue, at ttie time of the wedding. Tho parties started on horsoback for the place where the cere mony was to be performed, and Johnson thus describes the journey to BoBwell: "Sir, she had got into her head from old romances that a woman of spirit should uso her husband like a dog. At first she told me I rode too fast, aud she could not keep up with me; but when I slacked my pace she passed mo and com plained that I lagged. I was not to bo made tho slave of caprice, and therefore pushed on till I was out of sight. When she got to the destination I observed that she was iu tears." Johnson always mourned the loss of his wife, and al though ho wits only 43 at the timq of her death, ho never married again. How often iu his subsequent writings he refers to his lost companion iu the most alloc tionato uianucr! Whon only IS, Shakespeare was mar ried to Anuio Hathaway, whose age was 23. Six months from the wedding day a son waa born to this ill-mated pair. The husband and father had no nmns of supporting a family, and when the latter increased the number of a son and two daughters he fled to London. Tho deserted wife supported his children as Wst she oonld, and twenty years after wards her husband returnod, and by his subsequent conduct strove to atone for his early error. Such facts as these prove that John Walter Cross, in marry ing Marian Evans, bad some striking precedent. The Maryland Senate is retreating from its antagonism to making marriage cheaper by reducing the charge for a license from $4,00 to (1,50. The $3 saved to vonnff con Diet will inst about 1 buy a cradle. The blue eye can be trusted; it is child like in its impulses and emotions; it is all awoetness and trust; it shrinks from m,lflnnia allows little ardor, and its affections thrive best in a state of com plete quietudo. The blue eye is not sel fish and seldom hesitates to consider whether its passion is reciprocated or not. The brown eye is all love, devotion, impulses and emotions; there is no length, breadth or dopth to its attach ment; its fervor is unbounded. The more it suffers from difficulties and trouble, the more tenacious and btrong grows its affection; but it lives only by a full rociprocation of its passion, and is somotiraes jealous and exacting, but this most generally occurs when the heart is restless and unsat'sfled. It must be cultivated and caressed; in fact, kind ness and caresses are to it as the evening dews to the drooping flower; without them it languishes and dies. Ood pity tho brown eyes which find whilo reveling in all the intoxication of a first love, that their hope has been based on an unworthy object; thev will survive it, but few can realize the heart agony which thoy suffer. The brown eyos love more than all other combined, but, we are Borry to say, are sometimes frail, and aro most disposed to wander. The majority of the elopements which nrwnr almost du.il v are committed bv brown eyes; but the cause too frequently Is a reasonable causo lor tue act; tuey must aud will love; it is their life, and their very existence depends upon it, and they madly seek that, at the sacrifice of honor and virtue, which is coldly de nied them at houe. We hate black eyes, for they threaten danger, and, like handling powder, one knows not at what moment they may get blovad nn. Thev are frantic and fickle in their attachments; their affection strengthens with excitement and dies without it, and they are too frequently fnnn.l oYaelinrr ilmir nntant nowers to .v..... ".pN . r win hearts, only that that they may be thrown aside with heartless scorn and contempt; they are, as a general thing, Aavniil nt avmwaihv anil VArV frPrinAntlv feel the deepest bate for those who love them best. They win admiration more frnnnontlv than love, and woe to the trusting heart that mistakes their lan guish for an earnest devotion, lor tuey will find, maybe, when it is too late, that thev have beon the willing victims of a oruel deception. Uroy eyes will not stoop to practice deception; blue eyes but leldom; brown nvpn nrn not natural connettes: but be ware of black eyes, and don't meddle with them unnecessarily, lor uiey are like a two-edged sword; you cannot han illn Mmm furplcBRlv without receiving a wound.and their strange fermentation of frenziod passion, wintering mesmerism and flashing light, will intoxicate you nntil vonr mind becomes delirious, and the heart very sore andsad. Exchange. Origin of iEsiliellclBiu. Perhaps after awhile the msthetio croze will be exhausted, and then the publio will probably be surprised to recall its folly. Esthetics, though derived from the Greek, is of recent introduction, and the word wai not in use even in the last century. Goldsmith, who served up Loudon folly in his Chinese letters, makes no allusion to (esthetics, and you cannot find it in Boswoll'a Johnson, which abounds in the social as well as literary gossip of tho ago. Even Gibson, who wrote so much concerning classio days, had not learned tho uso of a word which has siuco become so universal. We thus see how rapidly one ago ad vances on anothcr,and perhaps a century hence the leaders of fashion will have invonted a new expression, and will won der at our ignorance. Writers on this subject now olaim that Pythagoras had ideas of a similar nature, and aiso quoto Socrates' reference to kaloagathon (the beautiful and good) as but another way of expressing the same thing. Modern testhetics, liko a great deal of other uonsonse, is of German origin, and the first to ventilate the theme was Baumgar teu. professor of philosophy at Frankfort. He published in 1758 his Esthetiso, a series of disquisitions forming two vol umos, from which has sprung that flood of gabble and fine writing which now in undates sooiety. During the terrible European wars which marked tho last half of tho century, the subject was overlooked, but in 1843 Hegel published a threo-volume work entitled .Esthetck, which proved as attractive as his otbor writings all of which wero the higher valued tho less they were understood. Burke was the first British writer that approached tho subject, this boing done in his "Essay on the Sublime Beauti ful," but the allusion is so brief that it would hardly havo boen noticed were it not for subsequent works on the same subject. Nothing more was heard on this topic until Buskin brought it for ward, with all the brilliancy of a genius peculiarly adapted to such a discussion, and since it lias been gaining ground. Like everything elso, it has at last been overdone, and in tho Oscar Wilde mania it reaches its most ridiculous excess. The prophet of this new gospel, however.will soon find the publio sick of his rhap sodies. A Few Verbal Errors. The following examplos of tho more common errors in the uso of words aro taken from tho "Verbalist," by Mr. Alf. Ayres: "Accord" for "gives" as the "informa tion was accorded him." "Aggravate" for "irritate," to aggra vate is to make worse. "Allude to" for "refer to" or "men tion." "As" for "that;" "not as I know" for "not that 1 know." "Avocation" for "vocation;" a man's "vocation" is bis business; "avocations" are things which occupy him incident ally. "Balance," for "rest," or "remain dor." "Character" for ''reputation ;" one may have a good"reputation,"but a bad"char acter," and the two words should never be confounded. "IVmean'for "debase,"or "humble." To demean one's self, is merely to be have one's self whether ill or sot. 'Dirt," for "earth or loam." N "Donate," for "give." "Execute," for "hang," as applied to the criminal. It is the "sentence;" no the man that is executed. "Healthy," for "nnwholsome;" as onion "plont" may be healthy, but when " thnr fa no more you vie. u vm.m ------ -- - . bealtbiness or unhealthiness to that, al though it may not be "wnoicsumo . an article of food. "Illy, for "ill." , "Dangerous," for "in danger; sick man is sometimes most absurdly said to be "dangerous," whon it is only meant that the poor fellow is himself in dan ger" a very different tiling. "Inaugurate," for "begin.' "Kids, for "kid gloves." "Learn," for "teach." "Liable," for "likely" or "apt." "Loan," for "lend."" "Pants," for "pantaloons," or (better still) "trousers. "Partake," for "eat." "Plenty," as an adjoctive, where "plentiful" is meant. . "Real," for "very;" "as real nice, "real pretty." "Beside,1' for "live;" as "residence, for "house." "Retire," for "go to bed." "Seldom or ever," for "scjdom if ever." , . 'Some," for "somewhat;" "she is some letter to-day." "Summons" (the noun), for "sum mons" (the verb). "Thoso kind'1 of apples, for "that kind." "Transpire," for "occur." Vulgar," for "immodest" or "inde cent." "Without," for "unless." Popping the Question by Telegraph. Every now and then we read in the papers of marriages by telegraph. Here is a true cose of a proposal of marriage being made in the same way. Miss Maria Roup, was married in Boston under the following circumstances: Caut. Roop, a distant relative, who sailed an Eng lish ship, visited Mr. John Hoop's in St. John, N. B.,on his way to Peterboro,' Nova Scotia, and met his fate in tho per son of the young lady who finally be came his wife. He returned to New York and began to load for Java. He wrote to her and proposed that she meet him at Boston the next week, marry bim and sail for Java. His boat was on the shore and his barque was on the sea, or loading at the whorf.and she must decide at once. The letter was received in the morning, and hod not boen read more than half a dozen times (such letters re quire a great deal of read ing, so it seems), when a dis patch was received to the fol lowing effect: "Please answer my letter by telegraph yes or no." Any girl can promptly say yes or no to the offer of a hand and heart, but when such offer is coupled with a three days' notice of mar riage and a sea voyage to the East Indies, the case requires a little more consider ation. She took time to consider, and added strength to the saying that the woman who considers is lost, for, when the afternoon of tbe same day brought ber another dispatch which was simply "Yes or no?" sho went to the telegraph office and wrote "yeB" on a blank. The operator, knowing nothing of the vast importance of that monosyllable mes sage, placed it on file for transmission, and the most anxious man in New York was made happy by its reception. The lady left her home at once, was marriod in Boston, and started on her wedding tour around the world. A Fearless ana Truthful Judge. I once heard this annecdote of Judge Parsons, the Massachusetts advocate and lawyer. It is said thut, being about to try a mercantile case, he ordered a jury summoned, and among the names was that of Col. Thomas H. Perkins, the leading merchant of Boston in that day, and a personal friend of Judge Parsons. When the officer returned he laid down a fifty dollar bill before the Judge. "What is that?" said Parsons. "Col. Perkins says he is very busy in deed to-day, and therefore prefers to pay his fine." "Take that back to Colonel Perkins," said the Judge, "and tell him to come here at once; and if he refuses, bring him by force. Whon Col. Perkins appeared, the Judge looked sternly at him and said: "What do you mean sir, by sending money when you were summoned to sit on this jury ?" Col Perkins replied: "I meant no dis respect to tho court, your Honor; but I was extremely busy fitting out a ship for the East Indies, and I thought if I paid my fine, I might bo excused." "Fitting out a ship for the East Indies, sir!" shouted the judge; "and bow hap pens it that yon are able to fit out a ship for the East Indies?" "Your Honor, I do not Uuderstand you." "I repeat, then, my question: How is it that you are able to fit out a ship for the East Indies? If you do not know, I will tell you. It is because the laws of yonr country are properly administered. If they were not, yon would have no ships. Take your seat, sir, with the j7-" It was at the revival meeting. The exhorter vigorously denounced sin, and appealed to his hearers to flee from damnation before it was too late. Many were affected by it. One man in par ticular groaned and rolled his eyes in agony. He attracted attention. ,A worker asked him: "Do yon feel the awfulness of yonr situation ?" "I do," he said. .
