Tor the Sunday Sentinel.) STARTING IN LIFE. BT MRS. SALLIK A. RAM VOR. It was such a delicious courtalWp, such a wooing and winning, and the wedding, with its flowers and beauty, seemed but a fitting inifh to these rapturous, happj day! They were both poor, and when Ilattie Allisen promised to share Frank Allan's home she knew that at best it could only be a three room eottage, or, if not that, a room in sorae seond class boarding house, and yet, with the glameurof lore blinding her, she did" not hesitate. True she and Frank counted over several times whether it would be more economical to keep house or board, but as ach preferred independence they decided en the former, and made calculations for their house. There was quite a number of wedding presents, almost all of them ornamental and uselesscrochet mats and zephyr wall mottoes being the most numerous There were three card receivers, but no table apon which to place them; four family bibles, and not a single chair; half a dozen alated Gutter lenives, but not a thing to keep theia company. The bride's mother gave her a set of jewelry, and the groom's parents Rive them a pair of bronze vanes, and the younger members of the family bought a chrorao of the Prodigal Son. - There were all well enough, but as Frank had to supply ail the deficiencies out of a very elender salary, he at least would have been better .pleased with something more substantial. But no amount of wishing could change them, and withouj the hoped for assistance of frienda, they made the start. Neither of them had ever saved anything, and for their furniture and housekeeping essential they Incurred a debt, that while not large, was enough to keep them economical for a while if thflv wished to throw it oil. They never Imagined so much was necessary in a house. The carpets, curtains and heavier furniture were but small Items.' The little odds and ends made the grand total of their indebt edness so much larger than they had ex pected. Friends advised and suggested this .and that until every room bore ample evt denceof the disinterestedness of giving ad vice to young people. The first night after Ilattie had cleared the upper table, for they kept no servant, they footed up, added subtracted and multiplied their income and the debt, always with the same result of $J0 a ' week salary and $150 debt, with a weekly exfwmsff counting house rent. of li With close economy, therefore, they ould save $9. to be applied to the payment their bills for furniture, etc., and at that rate it would take them nearly eight weeks to be free. They agreed to spend nothing Unnecessarily; to purchase no luxuries; to give themselrei heart and soul to paying the jubt claims against theiu. Ilattie had not been used to economy; she had no Idea of careful, prudent living. But she loved her hosband, and resolved to do her part to help hi in.- 8he could atUnd to the marketing, buying good, seasonable food In proper quantities and serve it in a palatahie style. She could aiake their home attractive by keeping it clean and fresh. She could strengthen her husband by kind words and seif-deoying acts, and though she could earn no money, ahe could save it when it waa given her. Not to be outdene, Frank determined to cut off his personally extravagant habits, to save the dimes and dollar o ' that went for cigars and tobacco, to be pru dent about all his expenses and to help Hatlie in her housekeeping pUna. He resolved Lathe would apply every cent of the 18 to paying his debts, aüd If it was possible to save more th.it It should I done. for a while the wheels moved smoothly Xach wm all love and devotion, and to be sacrificing and kind w the rule of the home. The hour for hr hubaad's return from work always found Ilattie neatly dress ed, as In the courting days, waiting in btr neat pretty room for the coming of him who -waa as tender a lover aa before bis marriage. yrieude prenounoed theiu a uiodol couple

and began to find that their house was a nice

place to visit, and the little suppers for two xpanded into dinner or tea for half a dozen or more. Then they concluded to pend nve dollars for some coveted luxury and five more for a pleasure trip, and the weekly installment of their debt was not met. Frank declared he was getting shabby, and in his new overcoat pocket wee a package of cigars and a pipe. lie hated to go home empty handed to Ilattie, and tho pretty new dres3 was enthusiastically admired, though both dress and coat were bought on credit. It was only a step, but it was a long step backwards. their resolutions for economical living broken; it was hard to stop in their foolish path. With the hard times Frank's salary was reduced to $15, and this too when debts for $.00 were hanging over him. This provoked and enraged him, and the first angry words were beard In the pretty little home. lie blamed his wife for much of this; she Lad never restrained him, or tried to prevent him from spending his money so lavishly. She retaliated, using the tobacco for a pro lific Bubject of fault-finding, and thus the quarrel increased. Hhe grew indifferent, the care and atten tion hitherto given to her home ceased, and look of dreary neglect settled over the place, öhe paid no attention to her per sonal appearance, never changing her dowdy loose wrapper and soiled slippers, unless to leave the house or to meet company. She had only complaints for her husband's ear; only sharp words and re proaches for greetings. Slowly be saw and appreciated the change, and for the first time a drunken husband roughly accosted her as she waited until midnight alone. He was ashamed the next day, and with a pale face and trembling voiee tried to beg forgiveness, but she repulsed him coldly and the offense was re peated. After a while the home was abandoned, a cheaper, shabbier cottage was rented, and with what remained after paying the most argent debts, they started agai i. Another failure, and thpy were still rednced lower, antil at last nothing but the rudest neces saries of life were left, and mutual friends proposed a separation. There was hardly any reason for them to (remain together; they were not making a living; they were getting constantly poorer, and 1hey were alienated, and if they separated each would receive care unong relatives or friends. One night pondering this subject, the seal ing of her earthly hopes with despair, Ilattie sadly thought of tho past. Her wedding ring slipped t and fro on her finger and reminded her of the first joyous year of her married life and how tender Frank had been. He was sleeping on the. miserable ed, weak from the effects of a debauch, and yet softened as her heart was, she felt love and pity for him still. She knelt by his side and prayed Ood for strength to try again, pleading for pardon for her part in the downfall of her domestic happiness. Her first duty was clear. She swept and cleaned the room, arranging the poor furni ture to the best advantage, and hiding the ravages of poverty. With tho material she could command she pre pared a nice, warm supper, and calling her husband lovingly, gently, she tried to make it pleasant for him. She noted with eager gladness his first look of surprise, and the kinder tone of bis voice. After tea she asked him to help her by doing two or three errands, and the alacrity and happiness of his actions touched her heart She chat ted with him and read to him until bed time, ami for the first night in months be fell asleep a sober man. The next morning they advised together as to the best plan. Ilattie encouraged him to seek work, and offering to go with him to the very friends who had urged their separation. They were successful, and are now prospering. But what scars remain after such a defeat only Ood knows. What wrecked hopes and ruined days are theirs none can ever tell The battle was terrible, and their souls and lives must always suffer somewhat from the conflict. Had they been prudent at first, ere they incurred debt; bad they laid up enough to start with before they attempted such a life, how different might have been their experience. But leaving even this and coming a step farther had the wife never faltered, but whatever went wrong outside, kept the home always beautiful and bright, would the husband have fallen? A woman can do so much to influence man. o much to keep him pure and u right. She can strengthen him In his mora weakness and encourage hi ra in Ins Strug I and the fond, loving husband appre I elating this will seek to make his wife and his home dearer than all else.

The senate of the university of Ltndon has decided, by seven votes to 14. to xrant mediral degrees to women who have gone through the d rest ri bed training and cat pass the examinations. The decision, is if importance not only lathe medical pruftssion and t those ladies who wish to entr its rHiiks, but to the public. The history f the agitation for the admission of wom-n to medical qualifications is a curious om it has been going on for years, and tho I censing Ix dies have acted for the uot tait in a trungely vacillating manner regarding It, as if they could hut make up thrir miidson the question.

The s-rimmeit wece of N humor that we know of Is the sse that the English make o convict labor in the cons' ruction ut prisons. Very probably tha convicts who are to oocuy the prisons are lint the ones who are

employed to build them; for a foreknowledge that they were building their own cels would lead, in spite of all vigilance, to scamping the work with the hope that they were thereby favoring their chances of escape. Two Knglish prisons have lately been built by convict lalor one at Borstal, near Kochcster, where "selected" prisoners in sixteen weeks Intd so far completed the building that 40 cells were fit for use when the building was formally occupied as a prison; since that time cell bnildings have been built and nearly completed, so- that tne present capacity of the prison is a?out 5)0. The same fjstem was employed in building the prison at Wormwotxi Scrubbs, which is to take the pla -e of Milbank prison. Free labor was employed only in building a boundary fence at Borstal and. on certain temporary buildings at Wormwood Scrubba, and even then the - material bad all been prepared by convict labor. For the prisons themselves, the bricks were made and the stone dressed on the spot; the stone was quarried at Portland and Dartmoor; the iron castings made at Portland, and the cartonter joiners' and blacksmiths' work done at Milbank and Chatham all by convict labor. We were all glad to get back the bard half dollars and dimes, and eke the quarters, but n spurious bit of specie is no better than a ras of counterfeit currency. We learn from

Mr. J. V. Tandy, sub-treasory expert, tbatJ the bous pieces of which the public should be particularly cautious are the balf dollars composed of antimony, lead and tin. It should be remembered that these are light. A genuine half dollar weighs 102 0 grains; the antimony and lead and tin humbugs weigh only 142 grains. We are eo-rry to say that type metal is also perverted from its honest, original purpose by the coiners. It is electro plated first with copper and then with silver. It weighs 192.9, like the real half dollar, but the color is not pood; the. false pieces are thicker than the genuine, and the devices are feeble and faulty. Mr. Du I3ois, assayer of the mint at Philadelphia, says ollicially that there is something about genuine coin which puts it beyond suspicion, especially when the new white surface has given place to the inim:table and permanent "nine-tenths tint;" and generally it speaks well for itself as to color and sonority. There is a liquid test of silver which can be put up by any druggist. It consists of 24 grains of nitrate of silver, 15 grains of nitric acid, and 1 ounce of water. This, if the coin be bad, blackens it at once. Mr. Du Bois also gives directions for testing coin by weight. Poise a thin strip of wood eight or ten inches long; place a good piece al one end and the suspected one at the other; have a weight of three grains at hand; if the difference is more than that "decline to- receive it," says Mr. Du Ttois. In his "farewell address the other day the president of the Rochester board of education delivered himself in the following vigorous style: I propose now to speak of some of the abuses, and begin with, what I regard as the representative and collossal abuse, the free academy. I will say at the outset, that I do not desire any modification of the course of study in this institution, nor any change in the ersonnel of its faculty. I believe that as long as the city supports an academy it may as well support a good one and to prune out here and there a branch would only cause the wrong to take a deeper root. I arraign the free academy as a satire and travesty on the common school system. There- is not a fact or principle which I have mentioned as justifying tte common school system which can be invoked in favor of this monstrosity. Instead of holding out the means of education to those who would otherwise grow up In illiteracy, it opens its doors to tho e who pasn an examination which shows them thorough masters of all common school branches of study. And instead of bringing the iruxwes of different social, political, national aud religious prejudices or prepossessions ucon one common platform, where they must become liberalised and homogeneous to a degree otherwise impossible, we bring a very few members of a common social stratum together, and furnish them gratis the means of making themselves still more remote from the common people who are educated in aud who support the common schools. This education is furnished to those-who have either literary taste or .ambition, and who would otherwise sect-re to themselves the advantages of a higher education-if de rrived of this means. Besides, it coats at least three times aa much per capita as the common school education; and it is furnished to those of sufficient age and ability to engage in productive industry. at, lMtrick.M inj lu Uuullisk.

It-Is not merely as a teacher that the spirit of the fttw world seeks to prepare for woman a freer development and a wider sphere of activity- it seefca to open for her free paths in arts and manufactures. "If I must choose between giving education to the men or the women of a conn try, I would leave the men and begin with tile woraan,"said one of the legislators of this country to me, one day; and this is the thought of a large number of men in the United Stated.- The advancement of the higher development of woman is one of th most remarkable features o. the new world s cultivation, its greatest raerit and its princi pal labor for the future. All that is now wanting is merely that it shall not stop half-war. I do not believ the right-mind edness of the men will fail if the women will, with discretion a ad earnest nesa, take the place which society here is willing to as sign them. It ia with jcetie that we are accustomed to estimate the measure of a nation's cultivation by tbe estimation in which woman is held, and the place which she occupiea in society, becauHC it requires no smalt degree of spiritual culture to value a being whose highest power is of a spiritual character. The people of America, have shown themselves to- be possessed of this, and it will increase in the tame proportion as the women of the country, make themselves deserving of it In general let a . woman . make a man's home agreeable to htm and he wilt in time prefer It to all other- places.

suit finally terminates, he is mulcted la costs whether he wins or loses. The as sumption of law is that the wife has no money or property of her own, and the busband must therefore at the very start furnish funds suftteieM to enable his wife to bring legal proceedings against him. It ia an ojen question whether the statute when it allows a wife to retain full power over the property she had when single, with the privilege of acquiring as much more aa ehe can, ought not to throw the cost of dirorco proceedings upon her in ease they fail, if ahe has the means of defraying them. It is further worth inquiring whether a married woman should have the right to dispose absolutely of property of her own while her husband is not per mit ted to alienate a foot of his without her consent. At present the disabilities seem all to be on the aide of married men.
