iT&rricd in tho Dark. About twenty years ajjo there lived in central Michigan a carious old Benedick named Dodsworth. At the re of fifty he married a pirl of twenty, and when the burden of sixty ytars bore him down, his wife wts only half bis age- D ods worth was noted for his peculiarities, but the climax came when he found himself on his dying bed. He was worth about thirty thousand dollars, and he hadn't a blood relation living, so far as he knew. He wanted to leave his property to his wife, as the pair had lived very happily, but yet he could not leave it without dis playing some of his peculiarities in the provisions of the will. Some old men display a mean spirit when making their wills, and draft in a provision cutting the wife off with a shilling if she marries again. This old man wasn't of that stamp. Hit young wife was good-looking, vivacious, fond of society, and it was folly to suppose she would mourn for her "late departed" any great length of time. Therefore Mr. Dodsworth turned his heel on the usual custom, and said in Lis will; "In case my -wife, Cecelia, does not take unto herself another husband within thir teen months from date of my burial, all bequests otherwise made in this will are to revert to the State of Michigan, to be used for building and furnishing a home for old women." Whether Celia was pleased or displeased at this provision, deponent saith not, but the old man lrd not been under the sod more than si months when the widow was said to no loo Inn:; out for ant.tner man. If it va singular for the dying Iodsworth to urge his wife to marry asain, it was still more singular that he should desire the ceremonv to be per formed under the following circumstances, viz: And it is made incumbent on said Celia Dodsworth that, in taking a new husband, the marriage ceremony shall be performed in the big barn on my farm, on the H road. It shall take place at ten o clock in ttie evening, on the main floor, without lights of any description, with all doors shut, and a lroe invitation shall be extended to all. The clenrvmac shall stand in the stables, and the bride and foom on the main Moor, and the principal parties to the ceremony shall be dressed in black throughout. The widow announced her intention to faitlifnlly obey in spirit and letter. The will was probated, and the twelfth month had scarcely passed before she issued an invitation for the public to attend a wed ding at the big barn. Jat who tue groom was to be no one could positively assert, as the widow iiad been keeping company with a widower, a bachelor, and two young men; and as far as any out sider could judge, she loved one as well as the other. Iking good-looking and; talented, and having a fortune behind her, it was not strange that he should have a number of suitors. She seemed to enter into the spint of the affair with great zest, as also did the minuter; and to further mystify the people in attend ance, the bride entered the barn alone at one door, the groom alone at another, and no one knew that the minister had arrived until his voice was heard in the stable. There were at least two hundred peo ple present, and each one understood that even the striking of a match would break the will. Many.jokes were passed, and considerable confusion existed, but at length the minister announced that all was ready. The ceremony was gone through with, and at its conclusion, the affair having been a "profound success,"' a rush was made for the bride; she was kissed by & hundred men, and was then, carried Lome a distance of a mile and a half in a big arm-chair. Xow came the mystery. "When the lady was set donu at her on uoor, the widower, the bachelor, and the two young m ear-each claimed to be her true and lawiul husband. Xoneof the crowd could say who was the lucky man; the minister was at sea, and the bride herself seemed to have doubts. The widower was the man of her choice, but in the confusion he could have been bustled aside, and be did. affirm that an attempt was made to choke him and get him out of the tarn. The bachelor vowed that she had promised to marry him, as also did both ttie young men, and each was sure that be held the widow's plump hand and was legally mar ried to her. The four men had a fight, buttnatdidn tmend matters, ine crowd ducked two of them in a creek, but that didn't decide the question. Just how it would have terminated, bad not the widower been a man of nerve, no one can tell; a the other three had al ready appealed to the law, when the wid ower stepped in and took bis" place as hesband, and settled with the others for two thouracd dollais each. One of the young men, now over thirty vears old, and hnving all the wife be wants (she weighs two hundred pound), is living in Jackson, Michigan, and dur ing an interview had with him, he solemn ly and earnestly assured the writer that he was legally married to the Widow Dodsworth that night in the big barn Another of the parties lives in Clinton county, and be lias time and again as serted that be is the woman's true and lawful husband, o help him God. The bachelor is dead, but were be alive be would renew, bis oft-repeated protesta tions "I married her, by gum! and, by gum! 1 ought to have ber!" The Vicissitcdes or a Moso.ce. Twice the Temple of St. Sophia was de stroyed by fira and twice rebuilt; twice the great dome fell and twice it was re stored. Tbe arches, having resounded to the music of Chrysostom'a voice, came at last to echo the blasphemies of the in fidel and the groans ot the wounded and dying. At the capture of Constantino ple the clergy, the virgins dedicated to God, and a multitude of people of all classes, crowded into the church and sought refuge before the high altar. Ma homet, at the bead of the Osmanlis, rode inlo tbe sanctuary, forced bis way through the affrighted throng, and leaping frora his hore at the altar, he cried, "There is no God but God, and Mahomet is his Prophetl" A hideous scene of slaugh ter followed, and the temple was dese crated. The sultans have despoiled it of its pictorial beauty; have added minarets and abutments to support tbe tottering southeast wall; have caused the rich fres coes to be plastered over with a yellowish substance; have chipped away wherever it was possible the carved symbol of tbe cross; have hung great disks graven with the names of the lour companions of the prophet over tbe seraphims under the dome, with their slender wings crossed above and below them. Beneath the cu pola is inscribed in fantastic and beauti ful characters a line from the Koran, "God is the light of the heavens aad of ilie earth." Short reckoning makes long friends. The Bassians in Asia, The Russians are attacking the Turks, not only on the Danube, where they can most readily approach Constantinople, but on the Asiatic aide, where the Rus sian territory of Trauscancasia lie loidc the Armenian frontiers or the bultan doruiuions. We have seen that the Rus sians have had many dilllcnltic to con tend with on this" Asiatic side. The many ranges of high hills and mountains, for the most part bleak and bare of vege tation, the wry bad rosds, the cold in the higher regions and the heat in the lower, have been so many ottaclc in the way of the invading army. Armenia, mil cod, is one ot trie most dreary countries in the world. A large part of its population consists of the wandering Kurds, wuo, like Ine Arabs, go from place to place, and pitch their tents wherever they find it convenient. Milages are few and far between, and when you rrarhone,vou find it compoved of wretched huts, which we should hardly think nt habitations for our domestic animals. While the upper part of Armenia, ex tending from the Ulack Sea to Bayaxid, is thus dreary, mountainous and lonely. the lower porti ni nf it consists of plains, some of which are smiling and lertilc, and arc graced with luxuriant vegetation, while other plains are but vast sandy wa-t-s remird.Bg the traveler of the Arabian Desert. Hotx, cattle and sheep are raitd oa these plains, nnd iron and copi-er are also found in some of them. The principal towns of Armenia, for military purposes, are Kars, Trebizond, and Erzeroum. Kars is situated on a height in the midst of valleys, bevond which rise high mountain. Trebizond Is the principal Asiatic Tuikuli sea-iKrt on the Black Sea. Erzeroum stands on a feeigbt, as does Kars. Some,onr who saw this important fortress recently, ajs of it that in the distance "it looks like x large ship thrown ashore under the mountain-side, and its mainmast distinguishable a great way off, is a tower of theTepsi minaret." Above the town rise the citadel and for tress. Erzeroum is not a cheerful place. It has jwor, uopaved, ktragling street, little tumble-down mud-honrc, and is very dirty and slipshod. Rat it has al. most all the curious features of an Ori ental town. There are markets and hi xaara, baths and fountain, mosques, with trocope whoe otSee I lately ikrcnlted their bulb-like domes, and more modeatiina paper on the t timet Ve - the churches for the few Christians who j light of the Damb-bell nebala nmeit, unctl liJCIC In a military p.Hnt of view, Erreroum ia. the mot Important of all the fortrnso in jvnaenia; aau iu capture uy ibc u- sians will rive them military control of a country full of places of sacred and his torical fame.

Damascus, Smyrna and Aleppo, famous cities of tbe biblical times, ax.d of periods still more remote, would icome Rsasian. Tbe lovely and romantic bland of Cy prus, and the renowned plain aad site of ancient Troy, would be racaed from the Modem. Bagdad, which no reader ox the "Arabian .Nights can forget, for It was the borne of the good Caliph Alrashid, and tbe ruins of the encc proud and mighty Babvkm, and of tbe not ics mighty Nineveh, would become tbe poe- seaaionsot the Uzar. Tbe military and commercial advan tages of such a conqueat would be very great. The Haitians would not only get a footing on tbe .Mediterranean, t brougb out the lung line of coaat from tbe Dar danelles to Suez, but would also bare access to the Euphrates Valley, to the Persian Gslf, and by Arabia Petras to tbe lied Sea, and thence to the Indian Ocean. Rocxasiax Mes aso "Woues. Gen erally the Roumanians, and more partic ularly tbe Wallacbians, have handsome dark faces, eyes full of expression, and beautifully cut mouths, showing, a they smile, teeth of remarkable hi tenet. Their hands and feet are singularly small, and their wrists and ankles as delicate as those of a Grecian statue. Adroit in body, light and graceful in their move ments, they are indefatigable on the march, and support, without a murmur, the most severe fatigue. Their national costume i worn with inimitable elegance, and even tbe Wallachian shepherd, with his tall cachoula, bis broad leather belt, bis sheepskin mantle, and full drawers, which recall the Dacian "brceks sculp tured upon Trajan's column, strike the traveller as a model of native dignity. Tbe women are grace personified. 1 neth er they have reirlainod faithful to their traditional costume, with tbe wide em broidered chemisette, floating vest, many colored apron, and heir-net brilliant with gold and sequins, or have adopted modern toilets, they always charm with their perfect taste. Besides thio, the Rouma nian lady adds to her exterior advan tages a quick intelligence, a communica tive gayety, and a readinea of repartee which has made her tbe Parisian of the East. 1 1 is the women of Wallacbia, and not the waters of the river Bucharest, who have given birth to the proverb: "O Dim bovitzal he who has drank from thee can no longer leave thy banks !" Books. Books are not made for fur niture, but there Is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a bouse. Tbe plain est row ol books is more significant of re finement than the most elaborately carved sideboard. Give us a bouse furnished with bonks rather than furniture both if you can, but books at any rate. To spend several days at a friend's house, and hun ger for something to read, while you are treading on costly carpet, and sitting on luxurious chairs and Bleeping upon down, as if one were bribing your body for the sake of cheating your mind. Books are windows through which the soul looks out. A bouse without them is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without sur rounding them with books, if he has tbe hi cans to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. Children learn through being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with rcading,and grows upon it; nnd the love of knowledge In a young mind is almost warrant against tbe inferior excitements of passion and vice.

Tbe boat consists of ta distinct bulls exactly alike aad placed tide by side aad sccerely j iscd by a deck that cvers both and all the space betatcts. The bells are long and narrow with deep straight boas aad very short stern-p"at, the keel rising quickly at Hera. Each bull may bate a centre-board or not, a teems desirable, and the deck-frames for each extend over the pce betw een the hells. Lxtra timbers, braced bv knee at tbe ends, are alto pot io, so that as far a posaible the two halls are united by one deck over all. Cabins are placed in each hull, and thus all the deck between the bull is clear and open. The deck is square at the end and flush with tbe stern ol each hull, and at tbe bo ws it I brought to a point, and at tbe end of this projec tion is placed the u.twtprlt. The masts are placed on a line with the centre of the deck, and to furnlih a step for the foot of tbe mast an iron frame extends from the built on cither side below the deck, and, if ncceitary, below the water. Tbe standing rigging is brought to the outer aide of each bull, and tne single rudder is placed on a stern-post placed between tbe two hulls. YYl&n afloat such a boat as this is designed to rest high out of water, and to give a dear, dry deck. Tbe advantages claimed for this class of yachts are, steadiness in the water under a side-wind, increased space on deck and increased speed. The atcadinest of the boat admit of lofty rnats and a very large spread of canvas favorable to high speed with increased safety. Two ocean steamers for tbe English Channel service. the "(Jastalia," and tbe "fcxpres, built upon this plan, are now in active service. The paddle-wheels are placed in the cen ter between the bulls, and the steamers are in favor on account of their stcsdi neat, great capacity and light draft. This form of boat might also be useful in river barges where capacity and light draft are needed. illdtummer IIAidag Scrihnrr. Good Advice. Culture your mind and heart. Be honest.
