It is a strange auomalv in human nut tli e that we are often least satis tied when we have obtaine 1 that which we most desir d. It is upon this prircip e that wo account for thegreat transformation which comes oer many a lover when he becomes a husband. The lover places his beloved one upon a high pede-tal as something to bo re a".- worshipped, and he of fers io hi idol his hear 's sincerest dvoii:m. B it lei, the ru lidn de scend fro.n her height to haa me the wife of the -man who adores her. alas! how quickly the romance fades away how cpiieklv she drops f.-oui an tMigel'e being into a c. mmon place woman, and whose nAVi-ium even seems to have lost its value. Let no fond "irl believe the hv-i" ry of angels and loses, ami ll tfeis heruotil she is half permmded th;t she h?s wings, and may soar if she will! Let her a eupt to use l'er . . . . pin")is after nirvruge, and slie will be suddenly brought down to earih. litie the tortoise in the fabe who ai tenif)ted to ll v And, as for a veiv rose of sweetness, bah! one might as well be compared to a dafTy-down-d'l'y as to a lose, for husbands ae apt to think more of one good, sen sible head of cabbage, well cooked for dinner, than of a hundred j j roses' Lovers may flatter the accomplish ments and pra'se the talents of the woman they love; but h'isbands :i'e usually jealous of intellectual put suiis on the part of their wives. They seem to fancy, .poor th'ngs! thai the wiTe who reads a sensible boo.;, or pursues some favorite study may forget to sew on their buttons, or to brush the cobwebs from the ceiling. Besides, we have noticed that husbmds iie, as a rule, averse to their wives being informed upon sujecs of which they themselves are i rnorant, which looks as though thev secretlv trembled for their much-vaunted superioiity. Many a man, who regards it as a mailer of course that his wife should spend a large portion of her tinio iu v i i in.', gossiping and shopping, and who would not think of reproaeh'ng her for so doTn', would beom. dissatis fied if she spent the same atnouut of time in acjuiiiug knowletlge, or in pursuing some art. She would bo forcibly reminded that a woman's place is to attend to her domestic- duties! As though domestic happiness were apt to safler if an enlightened woman presided over it instead of a little souled, latthvbramed piece of vanity-! The poet may idealize the woman he loves in immortal verse; but if that woman becomes his wife, I fan cy he can nt times be quite as snap pish and ill-tempered as ordinary mortals, especi- lly when he descends i from the clouds to tread the. earth, aud iinds his domestic i ffair3 unsat isfactory. If his breakfast is tardy, or his dinner spoilt, the poet very easily I descends to everv-dfy terras, and ut- ters his reproached very much i i the style of other husbands; whereupon his wife is iucliued to wish that he might remain upon Mount Parnas sus altogether, and nut come down to worry about such vulgar things as breakfasts and dinners. If Dante had not. lost Beatrice when she was yoaug and beautiful; If Petrarch had wedded his Laura, or Tasso his Leonora, do you sup pose the world would have ruug with their praises? Would they have been immortalized in undying song.' Not at all. Beatrice would never have been the angel in Dante's heav en if she had continued to brighten his earthly h me; and Laura and Leonora would have bloomed through their beauty and youth. urid, growing wrinkled and faded, woul 1 have dronoed into the tomb without t'e wo. Id knowing aught of their f te. How ob-ictpuotn is the lover to every wish mid look of her he loves! He is all devotion, a I jiJTeclton in fa.t, the vy embodiment of pass ionutely ardor. Alas! how few litis hands coni inee to be the lover! Even j though love iisU iiny si ill i;X"ist, it is .shut up so closely in the luait that it lo-ies irs wiu ;s. a-i 1 uol u.ir soar.

A )vv mis is an wrong aen a woman cousents to marry, ami takes upoTi herself too task of making some man happy, it should not be at the expense of miking herself miserable A woman never fo'gets the hmage she received before mar riage, and if she finds coldness ntid neglect when she becomes a wife, the contrast u bitter enough too bitier, indeed, to be borne. Husbands should continue to be ovrs und wives also. A man should not woo a m ii leu as though she were the queen of flowers, and then when married, look upon her as the merest weed that grows. He should not Hatter her into the belief that he regards her as the best and the fairest of womankind, und then cruelly undeceive her bv soeeiiug at her ignorance and by striving to im press her with a due sense of his own superiority. Once enshrined as a divinity in her hu -band's heart, the-wife sho:dd remain their forever. Men make a fatal mistake when they think to command more respect from their wives by playing the tyrant at home. They only destroy the love they have labored to win. Let them do aU their grumbling it the office, or in the street, and uot save their ill nafui' to vc'it in a perfect shower ii on tli inmates of home. When husbands, being so prone to faults themselves, have the g-ood sense not fo expect perfection in their wive:. when they cease to ex pect their wives to b slaves of their every caprice, to expect the dinner to be upon the table at the precise mo mrnt, with the meats -'done to a turn," and bread baked to marvel when all these little things are chauircd for the letter. th"re will be more gladness in everv home, and much more of domestic happiness. There is perhaps m everv woman's ! life a time when some man regards 1 her as possessing every wonianh virtue. This is the time of her youth and beauty, and when sho is be loved. And when really married, let H o husband but continue to bo the lover, and tho wife wiil be happy and content in being tho idui of one faithful heart. TAKING IT OUT IN TRAOE. Mr. Mix, the owner of a marble yard in our place, has been advertis ing repularly in the Morning Arrju foi some time past, and the other day, when the bill was sent to him, he called upon Colonel Bangs, the pro prietor, to seo him about it. The fjlloing conversation ensued: Mix Colonel, I came 'round to have a little talk about this advertis ing bill. It's bigger'n I expected : a good deal bigger, and as times are ! hard and people not indulging in high-priced monuments and such luxuries, I want to see if I can't make some kind of arrangement with yon. If I can't get you take it part out in trade. Bangs Mm-tn-m! I don't know. Mix Now. how'd you like a blue marble dog, with his mouth open and hi- tail switched over oji his ribsVI've got one of the loveliest of those tl ings that you ever saw. It's a work of art. You can almost hear him growl, he's so natural. You nought to have a. marble dog. It's sign of cultivated taste. It shows that a man has a love for the beauti ful. I can rig him up in vour parlor or I inifdit speckle him over with p:;iit and put bi n into your, front vard to skeer the bovs off vour grass. ! If vou have that dog hiving thereatid j " I vou stand at the door and bark, the re i-n't a boy anywheres dar'st come within forfv fiot of the licute at night- Bangs I believe I don't care for a dog. Mix I thought perhaps you i wouldn't, although I pledee vou niv " 1 .vord that tliis ont'n got nothing tin 111.111t.-1 i i ii iiii.i uiii, ii jiisi--niu- ; ( ant nicks in the nose; but let me i fli 1 i ti - 1..

I im vou wnai x mi in uoLrei uji a . . . ? 1 j glorious tombstone for each mem ier or vour lanniv; nave all tlie names tii?d so's you can see how thev look and leave the date blank. Then vou can have a verse of poetry chiseled on crch one, and cverv thing all ready just to plant over the e;rave when anvbndv dies, nil comfortable aud nice, with no fuss, or hurry, or worry, vhile your heart's breaking over your loss. You could stand them around vour sitting-room, vou know, waiting for the fatal hour Or, maybe, you'd rather I'd rig up n family ault out in the cemetery. 1 il do it tor almost nothing at all. -l Get it up splendid, with your mono gram on the front, and five bins on the inside, one marked Mortimer," for you, another inscribed with the name of less sec, what's vour wife V firt namt? Emma? Yes, auothei with 'Emma' on it, and the other dedicated to your boys, William 'Simeon' and IIolofornes., It'll he a real nice snug home for you all when you're gone. All layin' there together, quiet and peaceful with tin storm all orcr, and sickness, and taxes, and such things, forever past. I'll run you up a sepulehtr that vou'll vearn after. Now, how large do you measure 'round the chest, so. I can make your bin large enough: A corpse wants room. I never fit re mains tight in a family vault. You might come to life aud want to turn over. Bangs I think I shall hardlv lake a vault just now. Mix O, very well all right. I don't insist. I only wanted I o throw out a genteel sort of idea about it. But how are you on front t-teps? Look here, now, I tell you what I'll do you build a new house, with the front door in the second story, and I'll ruth vou up a flight of step- that'11 'uice roun1 a"-r othf'r tcl m the tropic of Capricorn. I'll make thcm ,e' rific- Infect ly splendid. 141, co" nnlea to see them. i u advertise your paper, and we might put u bust of Daniel Webster on one side and a tigger of Moses on tho other. I've got a bust and a statute of those fellers so good that every body that knew them says they're bet'er than life every bodv that knew Daniel Webster anybow. Ttll 1 A Or, if you don't want to build, less put up a row of marble steps clear round your old house. It would be u staggerer. People nro too scrim py about such things generally. Xow a house with steps all around it, taking in the woodshed, too, would just lay over nnything that they've got in Venice.andnot more'n half try either. Bangs Don't want ntry step?. Mix Now, if you are the kind of luii I take you for culture, feeling, a Jove for high art and such things I know exactly what you do want. I can lead your thoughts while I'm talking to you. You are paying to yourself: "If Mix only had a figger of httle Samuel saving his prayers, and an angel looking at him, I'd takothat." W. 11, sir, you'd hardly believe it, but I've got that very indentical group. It's just lovely. Why, the women come in, shed tears over it, and everybody gets i x cited except Barney Maglnn, who asked my foreman why he turned up the angel's nose, aud why little Sam uel's big toe was four inches long. It was made longer so's to keep his leg from getting lose. But nobody minds Maginn. Now, I'll just throw that gioi ions woi'U or art nwav on you. I'll sactiiice it. You may have it for the price of marble. It'll make your boys devotional. It'll light up your" family circle. You might put it in the erstrv for a kind of hat-rack. Lav vour umbrella against the nn gel and rest your hat on S lmuel. It's o.ie chance in ten thousand. Can ecl that bill, and vou'll find that de licious statute iu the houso when you get home. B ng Mr. Mix, I guess I'll have to ask for the cash. Mi What! Won't take Samuel, or the steps, or the dog, or any thing? Bangs- I thiuk I'll have to say no. Mix Not even a sleeping lion with h's tail under him, as a mantel piece, or a bitching-posst? Bangs No. I Mix Well, well. And vou tnlk about educating the public. You wont to thove Yourself offas a nan of sense aud learning. Why, such a uiau as vou ain't fit to write for a piper that's xso I for lam lighters fii a blind asylum; you ain't, indeed: Then Mr. Mix went over to the cashier's desk and paid the bill. Grave of Highand Mary. The Ber. Dr. Cuyler, who is now traveling in Scotland, gives the fol lowing sketch of a very romantic spot: One hour more brought us to the Tontine Hotel, at Greenock. This morning we tallied out through the rain to visit one spot in Greenock which every man or woman ho has a soul must isit the lomb of Burns' Highland Mary. This poor dairy maid immortalized in the j sweetest of all love-song came from Mont gomery Castlo to Greenock, died here, and was buried in tho Presby tei iau kiik-yark, just out of Crawford street. We goon found the tomb, to which a well trodden footpath leads. A (taceful marble monument, twelve high, covers the gentle lassie's dust. It bears a sculptured medallion, which represent a Burns ond the w)ng lady clasping hands and plighting their troth, he I olding a bible iu his hand. Beneath is the inscription: "Erected over the grave of Highland Maut in 1842." , 0 Marv, dear deourted shnde. Where i tli j plftce of blissful rest?" These lines are from tho impass ioned verses, "To Mary iu Heaven," and have been read through' tears by many an eye. Wonderful is tho charm of genius, which could beat a pith way, trodden bv thousands of feet, to the grave of an humble dairy, maid, who lived nearly a hundred vears ago. Mrs. Mayficld, of Clackamas coun ty died of small-pox last week. ANOTHER CHICAGO MOTOR. Chicago Tribune. John Murtoison, residing a No. 273 North Market street, has on ex hibition there a rude machine, con structed entirely by his own . hands, of wood, which is, as he claims, the model of an engine to be run by a new motive power, of which he is tho discoverer. A bare outlino of tho principle is this: A lever, worked by one !aa, turns a wheel. ,$ho revo lution of this wheel sets iu motion a series of -compound levers, varying in number from six to twenty. Tho long arms of these levers are worked by a combination of cogged wheels and cogged bars, which combination is, according to Mr. Murteuson's statement, the chief principlo in his discovery, aud i not yet to be made public. Tho short arms play ffuc evasively into the cogs of a wheel which drives the engine. This last wheel is thus pried around its centre instead of being turned by a belt in the ordinary way. Thirty motions of the lever in the man's hand ore to turn this last wheel 1,700 times in one minute, and but one niuu is needed to run an engine, no matter what its horse power may be. No steam, water, fire, or air is used. Tin inventor believsthat an engine 4 feet long, U fact wide, and 2 feet high would drive a street-car at a high rate of speed, and that a correspond ingly larger one would propel an ocean steamship or draw a train of cars, Mr. Martenson is very enthusias tic over hisjdiscovery, upon which ho bus labored for six yeais. Hcs is foreman in the composing-room o( the fl:?rt!ith. American newspaper, and, as his family are dependent up on him for support, he has been re stricted during these years to a few hours each evening for application to hii invention. He is extremely desirous that somo public-spirited gentleman should furnuh him with the means of subsistence for a few months, und thus allow him to devote day and night to the working out of his idea. He feels positive that in u half-year's uninterrupted time ho could make an engine which would run a horse-car through our streets, aud thus demonstrate the practica bility and the extraordinary economy of his new power. An astronomer, whoso name Mr, Martenson could uot remember, and who was, he thinks, connected with the Chicago University, called early iu 1871 to see the engine, of which he had heard in mors, strongly urged the inventor to persevere, as had a bo good thing, and promised him sup port. At the time ot the fire, how ever, he lost trace of his patron, and has not since heard from him. As has been already stated, his engine is on exhibition rt 1 is residence to any who may be interested iu it. Farm laborers are in brisk demand iu Grand Rondo valley. There have been oter $30,000 worth of improvements made on tho beautiful rolliug, prairio between Siimmerville und Grand Hondo river duriu the past two years. The first flax seed of tho season has boon delivered at tho Oil Mill at Salem. It was grown near Cress well, Lane county, and is of excel lent quality. Tho skating rink at Portland wan destroyed by fire las week, supposed to be tho work of an incendiary. Loss, $4,500. No insurance. Georgia has 218,783 whites and 175,334 negroes between the ages of G and 18, and its present annual ed ucational appropriation is $180,000. Not quite forty -six cents to 'each child! Compositors in the New York . Tribune office ate fined ten cents for" ' iiach profane word uttered on the premises. The money thus feathered . is given to tho poor. On o unforu- nate chap lost nearly a week's' vfageo one night, over a bit of Ctreeley'o ' manuscript. SuBjicaiwi for your local paper. s I V 4
