Rational Banner, THE WIFE MARKET IN RUSSIA. Sitting uf all ‘niﬁht with a couple of Russian ladies; might, or might not suggest the idea of telling you something of the marriage customs of this strange eonnh‘-‘y A French writer, whose name I forget, has -tru_l‘y ‘gaid, “the Russians are a nation of polite savages,” a remark that is not very apt, iut it hel}m towards a proggr understanding of the people. The rich are very rich, the poor are very poor. Tge hles ova nanrtly. polite, and as. refined in nanners as those of the game class in Germany ; but the serfs, or thoge who belongedy to the nobles with the soil before the emancipation, are now rude, and not half civilized.Almost a 8 goon as a girl is bory, in the better ranks of society, her parents begin to prepare the dowry she must have when sﬁe goes to her husband.— For this is indispensable in the eyes of any Russian young gentleman who proposes to marry. She must furnish everything for an outfit in life even to a dozen new shirts for her coming husband. ‘ 3

I have heard of a lady of rank and wealth who had prepared a costly dowry of silks, linen, jewels, plate, etc., for her beloved danghter, who died as ghe came to be twenty years old.— The mother resolved to endow six girls with theee riches, and ‘actually advertised for them., A host ot applicants came, and she elected six. No one of thei had lovers. But now ‘they had a respectable dowry secured, eaci girl was speedily engaged, and with the hu’aband_;toog the dowry, and paid the rich lady by promising to pra{ for the repose of her daughter’s soul, : Lo Inno country is this arrangement of terms carried on with more caution and completeness than in Russia, The young man goes to the house of his proposed bride, and sees to the whole witE his ; eyes, before he commits himself to ;ge irrevocable bargain.— In hish life such things are conducted with more apparent delicacy, but the facts are obtained with accuracy, the bnsiﬁeés being in the hands of a broker or a notary. The trousseam is exposedr in public before the wedding day. : At Whitsunday there is a curious custom, whidk is gradually giving way with the advance of civilization. The young of a neighborhood come together, and the girls stand in a row like 80 man]y statues, draped, indeed, and not only draped, but dressed in their best and painted, too; for the young ladies, and older ones also, of this country, use cosmetics freely, and a box of ladie’s ' paint is a 'very commom present for a young man to make the girl he likes, Behind the girls are their mothers; the young ‘men having made their_choice, the terms are settled. between the parents of the-parties. i The ladies in Russia are very anxious to marry, becauge they have no liberty before their marriage. They are kept constantly 'under the maternal eye until they are given uE to the husband; and then they take their own course, which is a round of gayety and dissipation, only regulated by their means of indulgence. Phe Greek church, like the Reman, permits no divorce; but the emperor, like the pope, can grant * special dispensations. The Greek priest must marry gnce, and if his wife dies, he cannot marry again. No one in Russia cah be married more than three times. .

Too Much Tarkey. - * Friend Jerry is a good natured, ciyil fellow, who ‘attends to his business and provides well for his -family, but has one little failing, in this, that when he gaes to his home in the suburbs at night, he is usually more or less under ‘the influence of contraband fluids.— Oune night, a little after dark, he started for his home with a nice turkey, safely done up in strong wragping paper, under his arm. Jerry found the road from the station to his pretty cottage, some half mile distant, uncommonly rough that night. He several times stum%:led, and fell over all sorts of obstructions in the path. Each time he fell he dropped his turkey, but contrived to fpici it up again,— On entering his house, he steadied himself as well as he was able, and said to his wife, “Here wifey, I've gos "leven turkies foryou.” “Eleven turkies, Jerry ! what do you mean? there’s only one.” “There must be ’leven turkies, wifey, for I fell down "leven times, and every time I found a turkey. There must be ’leven turkies.” : ‘ g

"~ A recent decision of the New York Supreme Court may be of interest to our railrooad friends in this section. It was decided that. if a passenger on.a railway train can not find a seat, and gets injured while standing, in consequence, u})on the {)latform, he is not to be blamed for neg: igence, but that the negligence must be imputed to the conductor. It is the latter’s business to find a seat for the passenger, not the passenger’s business to-look for ome. Let the managers of our raflways . make a note of this, and act accordingly. While ’trudginii along one day alone, a soldier met a Methodist circuit-rider, whom he at once recognized as such, but affected ignorance of it. “What command do you belong to?” inquired the reacher, “A Texas regiment in Van ?)om’s army. And yourself?” “I be-. long,’ solemnly replied the preacher, “to the army of the Lord.” “Then, my Afriend,” said the soldier, “you’ve gota very long way from headquarters.” : T ety W gttt BALZAC says, women of 45 often have new and stronger affections than ever before, and their Jove is deefer ~ and more disinterested than when they were young, g A PARMER near New Albany, hatuinzented.a steam plow.

_ “FATHER COME HOME.” ~ Music has drawn many a’ heart back yiolding wﬁwg‘im&: the point of doing, and binds the world together in stronger bonds of brotherhood than anything else of humanizing tendency. Bt how mach morealecine e aided by a little dramatic effect. A London correspondent gives an eﬁ‘ectiﬁg des cription of the singing of the pathetic’ ballad of “Father, Come Home,” in one of the London .theﬁttﬁ gyhjop,lg’ft but few dry eyes in the house, and must have nerved to stronger resolution, any prestut. who were in the habit of giving way to the weakness of indulging in intoxicating drinks to excess. = This correspondent, describing the scene, says that the lady came in. front of the curtain, amid great. applause and commenced : « “Fathar, dear’ father,” &c. Every word was distinct, and she sang the ballad with great feeling. In order, however, to describe the scene which followed eachi verse, it is, necessary to give little Mary’ssong: “Father, dear father, come home with me now, ' The elock in the steeple strikes one. g You promised, dear fathe;,_ ﬂnt you would ‘come home, Lot o As soon as your day’s work was done, - Our fire has gone out—our house is all dark, And mother’s been watching since tea. With poor little Benny sick in her'arms, . Amd no one.to help her but me, ~+, Come home, come, home, come home. ; Please, ‘ather, dear father, come homg.?' At the conclusion of the last line the drop-scene drew up, disclosing the father sitting at the door of a public ho use, in a drunken, bemuddled” stafe, with pipe and pot befote him. o Little Mary swis trying to drag him from bis seat, at the same time pointingito cartain behind, as .she took up the refrain from the lady touchingly sang, “Come home,” &ec. The other curtain w&s now drawn aside, disclosing a wreched room. with the poor mother sitting on the ground with a sicklooking boy in her lap, and in the act of feeding him with a spoon. . Simultaneously with the drawing of the curtain, the light was brought to bear upon the tableaux, giving them d traly startling cffect. After a moment or two, the act-drop came down, and the lady proceeded :

“Father, dear father, come homejwith me now, The clock in the steeple strikes two. The night has grown colder, and Benny "1 .-worse, TS i d

But he has been calling for you. : Ing:ed hbe is worse, mother says he will die, ‘ Perhaps before morning shall dawn, And thisis the message she sent me to bring— Come quickly or he will be gone. . | Come home, come home, come home,- _ Please, father, dear father, come home.””.

The act-drop raises again, and now the child has hold of the pewter pot, trying to take it from the drunken. parent, and as she continues the twao last lines, “Come home,” | &c., the other curtain-is driwn agide, and we next see the child stretched out in its mother's lap, and it just raises its little head and falls back with a gasp. Witls the- dim light. reflecting’ strongly upon= it, there ‘was a reality abont the ~whole, terrible to view. Sobs were heard from all parts of the hall, coming from ‘the female part of the audience, while tears trickled down a many a male'éheck. Even the lady wlio sang the song was affected, and could. scarcely prcceed. with the third verse: | *Father, dear fnthér. coms home with me now, The clock in the steeple strikes three, The housé is so lonely, the hours so long, | For poor weeping mother and me i Yes, we arefalone ~poor Benny is dead, And gone with the angels of light ! And these are very last words thut he said—o vgan& to kiss papa——good night, o _ . Come home, comae home, conie homs, ‘« Please, father, dear fathier, come home," Kg#in the drop rose, and displays little: :Mary on her knees appealing to her father, who, with pot elevated, is in the act of striking her with it when she sings, “Come home,” and the back curtain. ‘draws aside, showing & mother praying over & child’s coffin. But' now the sobs l?reak out more freely, and two females ﬁe carried out. fainting. The scene was ost traly harrbwitig. ## T a 8 L o

An additional verse was sung about “poor Benny” being with the angels aboye. The drop rose, the father; sober now, is weeping over the coffin, with hittle Mary on his knees, singing, “Home, home, fath er, dear father's come’ homet? <At this minute the curtain jisdrawn aside, and little Benny is suspended over the coffin with. wings, smiling down on them and pointing upward. The father “Falls'forward upon his face, act-drop descends, | and for a minute all is hushed save the sobs of the audience. - W ' Causes of Deformed Legs. ¢ ‘ ~ Bowed legs and knocking knees are. among the commonest ' deformities of humanity, and wise mothers assert thatithe/ crookedness in either case arises from the afilicted one having been put upon his or her feet too early in childhood. But g Manchester physician, Dr.-Crompton, & he has watched for the true cause thinks differently. He attributes the 'ﬂrst-n_x‘eirg tioned distortion to & habit “youngs'ers delight ingubbing the sole of one foot against the' other. Some will go 't sleep with the soles pressed * together,— They Appear. to: enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked. —They ‘don’t attempt to make it-when the feet .are socked or slippered. So f, % ned is ob baby’s SO%E; ?wﬂf Knocking knees the doctor ascribes to a different- childish. habit; that of sleeping on the side, with one leg tucked .into a. hollow ‘behind the 'other,. He has found that where .one leg has. bowed inwards mord thun . the other, the patient has always slept on. one side,:and the.upper: most member dias been tae one most- deformed. Here the preventive is to pad ‘the insides of the knees 56 as to: keep them apart.and . let ‘the limbs grow frecly their om»m{* : Seo %o pama add pay 't'eiv,'f 1o L
