Single Blessedness.

If I had to decide for my daughter whether, in view of her &rg%ter 'hapni?, ness, she should marry or reinMii single, I would find the task difficult. iaya Oliva Thorne Miller. In marriage the ordering of her life is taken in a great measure' out of her own hands; she must bend to circumstances; she is modified bv; thq influences which have surrounded her husband all his life; she t key to herself in his relatives a new set of kindred, who may or may not be agreeable to hot. The single life is much less complex, and it offers her what poets have sung ahd heroes died for—independence. Btttjtfhe points out. a woman will rarely enjoy state of single blessedness unless she is prepared for it in training and is allowed to be independent if she remains at home. - , Nearly the whole of Sennacherib's' great palace in Assyria has been cleaned! out, and the result is that 1,70 b new tablets, etc., have been secured for the British Museum.
