GRISI'S CHILDREN. It is delightful to read of two parsons in the same profession who are happily marrisd. Identical tastes and pursuits bring about a lertain harmony of relation which is botb rare and beautiful. Grisi, th* great singer, married the tenor Mario, and some incidents Bold of them and their children prove an unusually happy domestic life. The prima donna identified her own success entirely with that of her husband, always preferring his advancement to her own. Perhaps the clever reply which she mads to the Emperor Nicholas, Of Russia, was half-seri-ous, in embodying this spirit of self-surrender. "So," said His Majesty,jocosely,pointing (o her children," these are your little Grisattest" " No, sire," she returned, " they are my little Marionettes."

For the benefit of those who are obliged <o drink well water it should be borne in mind that a small dose of alum added to doubtful water has a very purifying effect. Particularly against the germ of typhoid fever, the most dreaded contamination of country water supplies, alum is very effectual.

The amount of alum required is very small, not enough to lend a taste to the water. Eight grains to a gallon proved effectual in an experiment by Professor Leeds
