MY GUEST.

BY G.N. MATTHEWS. There is a guest tbat I detest, for ever at my side. He clings to me as loudly as a Bridegroom to his bride: He leers at me and jeers at me, and when I cross his Will. only smiles sardonically, and hugs me closer still; te him and berate him, yet he trudge at my heeLs reai Des in my pockets, and revels at my metis: eiy b;n;, and Would y fcim, but he only presses firmer. And hu.r to each wish of mine an everlasting -o, sir." 2 have chiiied and derided till I'm almost out of heart. 1 Te aoiied him. and misused him, but he never will depart: J'l smite him. seek to spite him, why,' he simply turn and plants The symbols of his tyranny upon my coat and pants: He squeezes me, and freezes me, and well nigh drives me mad, lie tortures and teases mo, and growls when I am glad; Le glares at me and stares at me, as any shoal might do. He has shattered every promise that my coal was anchored to; lie haa wrecked xne and bedecked me with the tattered garbs of woe : lie has crossed my happy threshold and has laid my loved ones low ; He's wary as a beagle, and he grins in such a style That the cunning of a serpent is apparent in his smile: Fe Is lank, he is lean, and his fingers are unclean ; lie is ragged, he is haggard, be is spiteful and he's mean : Than Adam he is older, than Satin he is bolder; He's a ghaily as a skeleton, and uglier and colder: When the winter winds are dire he siU crouching at my tire. And glow 'ring at my besgary with eyes that never tire; He's the parent of all crime, in each country and each clime. And has tramped the wide world over, band in hand with "Father Time; Iiis record all may read, in the hearts tbat break and bleed, On the lip of little children that forever pine and plead ; And his deeds are further written over sleepless eyes red-bitten. Over cold and empty craales, over rool3 by sorrow smitten: Over shattered hopes once cherished, over pleasures that have perished, Over broken drtams of glory, that a better manhood nourished; In the by ways and the high wars, he goes onward unmolested, And makes the world to labor ere its weary hands are rested ; lie's a beggar and a ranger, and was present, not a stranger, At the birth of the Messiah, in the cold Judean manger; lie Lao trailed along the path of the tempest in its wrath. And has clouted o'er the ruins of the moldered aftermath : He's the Prince of empty pockets, out at elbow and at kne, lie's a knight without a nickel whom we nickname Poverty. Toledo Blade. WIT AND PLEASANTRY To cleanse brass catch your book agent, hold him under the pump and sponge liim with a bar of sand soap. Is it a duile' Yes. it is a dude. Was it always that way? Yes, natural born. What does it do for a living? It breathes, dear: don't disturb it Boston Traveller. The eacle feels best at a height of 12,000 feet above the earth, wliile the minute you gft a ruan on the roof of a horse block his kneps begin to weaken nnd he can't rernamber a word beyond "Fellow-citizens." An ared physician who practiced much among the ladies, made a large fortune. It was hi3 custom to say to every feminine patient, '"how me your tongue, honey! 'iherc, that will do, dear. You will be well in a week thank God my dear " "I have been married now," boasted a prosy Id fellow, "more than 30 years, and have never given my wife a cross word." "That's because you never dared, uncle," said a little nephew who lived with them; if yoa had Auntie would have made you jump." Faint hearted young men should take C0Ur.1e. Only three and one-half months more before leap year. (lirls here's a Iointer as to your chances -with a procrastinating lOVCr, There's lots Of fellows, however, who, when they read this, will skip to the WOOds. As r.ev. Pr. Bowman was about to begin li:5 sermon at Ocean Grove recently, he remarked: "Manj of you have never seen rue. and in all probability many of you will never see me aain." "Amen!" shouted an enthusiastic brother. The minister smiled with the congregation. A young lady artist married a young gentlcwan artiirt. The uncle of the bride made a call upon them and found them sitting in opposite corners of their joint studio in tl.e sulks, the husband saying that bis wife's waist was cut of proportion, and the wife eaying that her husband's nose was too sn.ail. We are never at a loss for a good excuse for our evil deeds, and resemble the eloquent darkey who said to the judge, "Judge, I was sutlenn' awful from 'motional sanitv. cos. don' yer see, I only took dat little pullet when I might took a big rooser. But, Judge. I 'strained myself an' didn' do it, an' I ought ter be let oil." "Aw, can you sell me, aw, a blue necktie to match my eyes, you know?" inquired an Austin dude in a gentleman's furnishing store. "Don't know how I can, exactly." replied the salesman, but I think I can tit you with a 5-oft hat to match your head." Tuen the dude withdrew from the store, a rushed, strawberry hue sulfasing his eilerniiiate features. Did you ever think that when we qct to Heaven if we do get tlrere most professional gentlemen will be thrown out of employment? The doctor will have nothing to do, lecanse everybody will be weM; the lawyer w ill have to take Iiis sign down and seek f uc ht nti-t employment, because there will lono quarrels and no litigation, and the minister can't preach his old sermons any n. ore, because the people will be too good to listen to them. "D;'n't I tell you that I didn't want to see you here any more?" said the police judge to a colored Kentleiuan. "Yes. sah " "And didn't you tell me that you wouldn't get Isunk aaain?" "'Yes, ?ali." "Then why are you drunk again'.'" '"Case I tole yer a lie. Loss: an' look a Leah, sah, doaa put no co:i fidrnoe in a nigger, 'case he'll get yer sho'. Talk tome 'bout a Merican citizan." Arkamaw Traveler. "Ah! good morning. Going to church tomorrow?'' Church! Oh, yea; I guess so. Who holds forth?" -'Oh, let's see. Miss Crescendo is to sin? an aria, Miss Pianissimo wi!) warble a bit, liravnra he is to hum on the tenor side and old Andante will come in potnewlxre on the chorus. It will be up." "But who preaches?" "That makes no difference. Some fellow who will touch up our transgressions mighty light.' Not from the Xew York Observer. When Adnm from his sleep awoke, A rnrtalnt creature met bis eyes. Whose beauty on his vision broke As breaks the morn neatti tropic skies. With wonder Adam stood transfixed Another day had just begun She crossed his vision jnst betwixt The dawn and rising of the sun. "'Tis Morn," said be. "in human guise, J air morn, my homage pray receive," The vision blushed, cast down her eve. And said. "I am not Morn, bat Eve." Boston Traveller. Curran was once defending an attorney's bill of costs before Lord Clara. "Here, now," said the Judge, "is a flagitious imposition: how can you defend this item, Mr. Curran? 'To writing innumerable letters, 1007 " "Why, ni7 Lord." said Curran, "nothing can be more reasonable. It is not a penny a letter." And Curran's reply to Judge Robinson is exquisite in its way: "I'll commit yoa, sir," said the Jndi;e. "I hope you'll never commit a worse thing, my Lord," retorted Curran, A picked eleven of lawyers from Liverpool played a cricket match with a picked eleven of lawyers from Manchester. The day was beautifully fine, and a large company had assembled to see which set of lawyers had had the most practice, With the first ball of the second over however, a dispute arose,

Great astonishment is felt that be held out so long as be did. A young lady who recently started out as a fashion writer has determined to quit journalism, hhe mentioned in an article on ladies' fashions that "skirts are worn very much shorter this year than usual." The young lady is certainly justified in being ängry with the careless compositor who chained the "k" in shirts to an "h " Flirting Jut To ran.

Through Tunnel. fSoringfieM News. A party of four persons were traveling on the Hudson River road one summer. In a seat waB a young lady and a gentleman who had been very attentive to her. In the seat behind them sat their friends, one of whom was a sportive young lady, foud of practical jokes and rather defiant of public opinion. As the train dashed through a short and very dark tunnel, she leaned over and imprinted a resonant kiss 011 the cheek of the young lady in front of her. A scream followed and laughter come from the darkness all over the car. As the train ran into daylight the insulted young lady turned on her innocent escort, and with snapping eyes and flaming cheeks said: "How dare vou insult me in this manner?" "I assure you," he said, stammering in confusion at the strangeness of his position, "that I have done nothing." "Nothing!" the repeated, and burst into tears. The passengers now ceased laughing and looked at the unfortunate fellow indignantly. After further protests, which were not heeded, he went to the smoking car. The siortive young lady wrote a note the next day and explained matters. The young couple were reconciled, married and the other young lady was not invited to their wedding An anoying practical joke was played on a bashful young man who was to accompany a young lady on a journey. While goining through a tunnell a friend knocked oil the bashful young man's hat, forced his fingers through 'hid hair, kissed the back of his own hand and then slapped his own face violent tly. Kvtrvone in the car looked in that direction when the light came, and the friend was apparently the most surprised of all. The nmssed-up appearance and cunfusionof the astonished victim convinced the specta tors that lie had tried to steal a kiss and had been slapped. The young lady understood the situation and blushed painfully. The friends gototf at the same station, a rough-and-tumble followed, and the practical joker was whipped. The Primitive Baptist camp meeting at Silver Creek, Georgia, had a strange interruption. A matronly woman began to scream and cry in a violent manner during prayer time. The preacher thought it was a case of spiritual anxiety, and put on more religious fervor, which had a magnetic effect on the prayerful worshipers and caused them to do likewise The stimulated the matronly woman to renewed exertions and increased noise. Presently she declared that she was not praying, but that she was mad about her daughter. A young man had been paying attentions to her daughter, and the mother hd told the girl to have nothing to do with hiiu. In order to make sure of this the old lady had held the girt by the arm while engaged in prayer. Verv silently and slyly the young mancame and knelt by the girl. The old lady, who was devoutly praying, did not pee him, nor did she see the Other man who knelt w ith him. Nor did she at first know that the whispered words which fell from the lips of the three constituted the marriage service. It was when she found OUt that her daughter had thus been married on the sly that she bejzan to scream. For a while;she was uncontrollable. But at last she yielded to wise counsel, and decided to n.akc the best of what she considered a bad bargain. The brethren present thought the wedding one of the most extraordinary ever known in camp-meeting history. Although dancing is discountenanced by m St Presbyterians, there is no law against it !n the book of discipline or the confession 01 faith. A Scotch farmer in Stromness Was suspended by the church session because he granted the use of his barn for dancing purposes. He appealed to a Presbytery. Presbytery tried the case, and had a very close vote on it. After a weary discussion Presbytery removed the suspension on condition that the farmer would promise that no Strong drink should ever be used at any ball given in his barn. He readily consented to this, and is now as good a church member ard in as fnll standing as anybody in the parish. He can have a ball in that barn every night, if it seem good to him, provided he excludes .Scotch whisky and other stimulants. l'ersons Who Travel Often experience serious bodily inconvenience from the ucsuitability of food, air and water tney meet with. On long voyages disorders of the stomach and bowels are apt to attack scafearing men and passengers, In consequence of the brackishuess of water and foul air on shipboard, and it Is & notable fact that immigrants newly arrived in unsettled districts, are peculiarly subject to malarial diseases and o.her ailment born of miasma and an unwonted diet. To the needs of the tourist, commercial traveler and new settler, Ilostetter'a Stomach Pitters is peculiarly adapted, since it strengthens the digestive orsHu and braces the pnysical energies to unhcalthiul influences. It removes and prevents malarial fever, constipation, dyspepsia, healthfully stimulates the kidneys and bladder, and enriches as well as purities the blood. When overcome by fatigue, whether mental or physical, the weary and leliiiUted find it reliable source of rt:ie'.ed strength and comfort Although bulls are popularly suppoel to be of Irish origin, yet it is undeniably true that some of the best or worst come frcm English literature Notably is the one of which Sir Kobert Godschall was guilty. A copy of an important letter was produced in Court, the original having been lost. The cautious J udge looked over his spectacles and gravely inquired whether the copy was taken tcfore the original was lost or after. It was the same gentleman who, hearing that some one had had the smallnox twice and died of it, asked whether he died of the first attack or the second.

You ask to-night my daughter's hand As you request a toy: Do you know the weight of your demand On a mother's heart, my boy? You say you love her wildly. Well, Will it last to the end of time? Or will the ring of wedding bells - Kesound its dying chime?. The heart yoa crave Is a tender thins, bo tender, trusting, true; Can you to ber devotion bring A warm as her to you? Will you loveber through the changing years A tenderly as now, W hen ills shall rde or sorrow's tears I ecloud her sunny brow? Wht n ore shall bow her graceful form, Ai.d bieaeu tier jetty hair, W ill you protect her from tne storm. And heller her from care? When time shall dim her sparkling eye. And Winter's furrows show. Will your love be the last to diet II not, I anbwer, No. Kcmember that her future life Would every day be your: A loving woman, wheu a wife To one that she adores, lias no existence of her own Apart from him she loves ; She lives henceforth for him alone, And iu his orbit moves. She molds her wishes to his will. Her ways to his desires: He Idads her bv love's willing web Through life's retining fires. She walks with him through thorny fields, And e'er life's rugged road; lie is her idol and ideal. Her guide and household god. So, if your love will live'and barn, And bless her future years ; If you will give her, iu returu. The trust tbat life endears; If yon will r-uard her destiny. And fchicld her from distress. Will alwuys live adoring her Why, then, I answer. Yes. TABLE GOSSIP. Patience is a remedy for sorrow. There is but a step between a proud man's glory and bis disgrace. There is no such thing as a great State built up out of a people not great A fashion paper says "waists are to be fulL" Especially after dinner. It is on the whole cheaper not to do a wrong than to do it and afterward repent it. You can get no better hold of some men's word of honor than you can of the tail of a wet eel. 'hat in a woman is called "curiosity" in a man is grandiloquently magnified into the "spirit of inquiry. ' "Wisdom would rather be buffeted than not listened to. Folly would rather be unheard than buiTeted. True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and making everybody about one as easy as one can Pope, If a teaspoonful of turpentine is put in the wash boiler and boiled with the clothes it will whiten them perceptibly. It sounds rather rough to soeak of a girl winning a man's love. If she won it she must have been playing for it. It is easy to criticise what is wrong in another man's life, but a very difficult thing to really do much better than he does. Some one says truly that when you put excessive heat and excessive eat together there is little wonder that so many people die. A very much mistaken philosopher once wrote us a proverb, A great load of gold is more burdensome than a light load of gravel. It has been discovered by "Nym Crinkle" that the electric licht with its white glare is unbecoming to blondes and becoming to brunettes. Nothing good is ever effected without perseverance. It will never do to quit just when you have found the place whero the flea was at last accounts. Kind looks, kind words, fcind acts, and warm handshakes these are secondary means of grace when men are in trouble, and are righting their unseen battles. No matter how wretched a man may be.he 13 Still a member Of our common species, and if he lossesses any of the common specie his acquaintance is worth having. bin is very much like the ordinary North American mule. It may be very tame and docile at the front, but in the rear there is always a sly kick hidden away and you'd tetter be on your guard. The hotel waiter's costume still remains the standard for an American man's full dress. To prevent mistakes at parties, the Boston Traveler says, the waiter is directed to carry a towel on his arm instead of ayoung lady. Life consists of cutting teeth in childhood, of the pnngs of unrequited love in youth, of dyspepsia in manhood and of a fear of death in old ac, and an oppressive certainty that the lawyers will contest your will and pocket most of your money. It transpires that green was not always the national color of Ireland. A drawing in the llritish Museum, which was made during the time of Elizabeth, shows the Irish flag as a harp with golden strings on an azure ground. The transition from blue to green is not difficult. It has been noticed at watering places this season that the ugliest, most horrid, and terrible faced women wear diamonds in profusion. This information conies from a young girl who wears white muslin nnd has just freckles enough to go well with pink ribbons. If you wish to know whether you aroan honest roan don't ask your mother, for she will be partial and blind, and don't ask yourself, for you are a very poor iudge, but seek the candid opinion of the man to whom you have sold a horse, and you will surely get at the bottom facts of the case. I Ife 's full of mirth and madness, Many griefs and sometimes gladness. Much of Joy aud more of sadness. We can go through life and end it, Leaving all the best thai end it. Charms and joys, and only snend it. Hut there is a way that's better ( boose the good and when life closes There will be less thorns than roses. M. Pivion defeats one of the favorite arguments of the anti-cremationist-, if his statement is founded on well-ascertained facts, by declaring that all poisons which can be detected in a body can be as readily discovered in the ashes, so that, in cases of suspected crime, the end3 of justice WO'dld not be prevented by cremation. Public opinion is not always to be regarded as infallible, but when it is unanimous it is apt to be correct. There is a very old proverb, many centuries old, but true to-Jay. which runs in this wise: "If any say tbat one of thine ears is the ear of an ass, regard it not, but if every one says that both of thine ears are the cars of an ass, procure thyself a bridle." A famous artist made a painting in which all the different nations of the earth were represented in the peculiar dress of their country. Instead, however, of clothing the Frenchman he drew him in his shirt, with a bundle of cloth under his arm. Being asked the reason, he replied: "The French dress themselves so many different ways, and change their fashions so often, tbat, whatever dress I should put on him, in a short time he would not be known; having the stuff, be may cut it to his liking." Peal Yankee wit is about as good as the staple arttcle in any other country. We are a people who look forward and not backward, and take more delight in what we have made ourselves than in what cur grandfathers were. When we do gaze into the past we are apt to follow the course of the gentleman who said: "There ain't many men in the country who could go back two generations without breaking their necks over a lapstoneoran anvil. Now, I have taken a good deal of pains to trace out our family line, and the only way I could do it was to skip nil the mechanics and farmers, jest touch lightly on the merchants, lawyers aud ministers, but to dwell purty particular-

ly liard 011 them that lived high and did lothing." In this way most men might be able to .et a toat of arms that would be satisfactory. These wretched suicides on account of financial difficulty remind us of the anecdote of Johnson, who may have been brutal in his criticism, but who told the truth nevertheless.; "Suppose" said Boswell, "a man bad been guilty of a fraud that he was certain would be found out, would not suicide be justifiable?"' "Nu, sir." was Johnson's burly answer. "In that case let him go to tome country where he is not knowm and not to the devil, sir, where he is known." Lord Surrey, who was beheaded in 1547, gave our ordinary human nature a pretty bard hit. and the lines he wrote 0U "HOW no age is content with his own estate" are unfortunately as applicable now as they were when the axe lell on the poet's neck: I saw a little boy in thought, how oft that he lid wish of God to 'scape tne rod, a tall young man to be. The young man eke, that feds his bones with pains opprest. How he would be a rich old man, to Uve and lie at rest. The rich old man, that sees his end draw on so lore. Bow he would be a boy again, to live so much the more. Whereat full oft I smiled to see how all these three Front toy to man. from man to boy, would chop and change degree. KNOTTY PROBLEMS.

Around the table in the private office of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, on "Wednesday morning, sat Mr. Martin Croker, a merchant of Morgan City; Mr. Charles Livingston, a genteel looking colored man, also a storekeeper, and a reporter. Before them lay one-lifth of the ticket No 09,519, which drew the capital prize of $75,000 in the September monthly drawing. Mr. Croker held a power of attorney given him by Mrs. Martha Livingston, who is the holder of the ticket, the value of which was multiplied fifteen thousand times by a turn of the big wheel in the drawing room at the lottery ollice. Mr. Livingston, already mentioned, is Martha's husband. "How did ehe come to buy the ticket?" asked the rejorter. "I started buying tickets and she started to. We used to play in the lottery before we went to Moigan City, but neglected to do so there, llefore the Aupust drawing I bought a ticket and told her about it. She bout;hi one too, and won twenty dollars. This month 1 bought another ticket, aud again told her.

She gave a young colored man named Alet Oliver three dollars, and he brought her three one-fifth ticketa of different numbers. The piece you see there, which cost her a dollar, pives her a share of the $75,000 prize." "What is she going to do with her money?" "Oh! she's made up her mind about that To be sure she'll keep it; she told us to invest In United States four per cent bonds, and that's what we'll do with it," Martha Livingston was Martha Green before Charles Livingston married her in New Orleans ten years ago. They didn't have much money, but they were determined to get along, and so they went to Morgan Citv. There Mr. Livingston commenced dealing in moss on a small scale, gradually increased his business, and finally, about two or three years ago, opened a general merchandise establishment. His thrifty wife helped him to get along in life, and now by a lucky investment of a dollar of her locket money has provided against any sudden staenation of business or accidents of life. The lucky Livingstons are thirty-four years of age, but there are no little Livingstons to appreciate the new found fortune. New Orleans (La.) l'icayune, Sept. 20. THE FAT GIUL MARRIED.

But the d'room's Angry Father Back by the Crowd. Kept A Curious Scene in a Ron cry Museum that Attracted Thousands of I'eople. fXew York World, Sep?. 27. A mob of 500 young men and women, with a fair sprinkling of children, struggled about tLe doors of a Bowery dime museum last night. Inside 2,000 persons sweltered in the garlic-laden atmosphere and counted themselves fortunate in having secured a place. For two long hours the expectant audience remained tightly packed in a room which would have comfortably accommodated less than forty people, impelled by that morbid curiisity which makes the protruding brains or the gashed throat of a suicide attractive. The attraction last night was the announcement of the marriage of the fat girl, Miss Blanche Grey, to the cisrarette-smoking boy, Moses, the ex-butcher. Miss Grey had consented to overlook the disparity of 400 pounds in weight and all went merry as a street-car bell. There was nothing to mar the enjoyment of the occasion except the foul smell, the stuffy little stage, the howling crowds and a tongue-tied preacher. The arrangements were on a large scale. They had to be. The stage was securely prapped up and every precaution taken to freveut a catastrophe. Cat-calls and yells or the bonnie bride brought out the information that she was dressing. This required time and space and the audience must perspire in patience. Dressing the bride was no light undertaking, as the matronly ladies who were eneaged in the great work announced, and it was only accomplished after a gTeat deal of apparently unnecessary noise. DKEsSIXG THE BRIDE. I The lady at the maiden's right hand shouted out how the covering fitted at that point; the midshipman or lady, ratherstationed midway between the bride's shoulders, would respond "Aye, aye," and call out in turn her report to the matron on duty at the left hand. Thus, by a kind of telephonic communication, the dress was bent to its proper position and the bride made ready to receive her chosen lord. Everything was in readiness, and promptly at 9:30 the derrick was adjusted and the entire bride lowered without accident to the floor below, landing among the audience. Six stalwart policemen persuasively marched the spectators back, and a passage was made through which the bridal party of one triumphantly marched, kept from falling by the crowds pressing upon her from every Side. It was a terrible journey through the thick, odorous atmosphere, and wheu the rear of the platform upon which the marriage was to be solemnized was reached the girl was perspiring from every pore. Officious attendants 'with table cloths and towels caught up the rivulets as they ran and fanned the almost unconscious lad.- to prevent her from fainting. "water, water." "Water, water, ' she gasped, but there was none to be had nearer than the street, and it was impossible to force a way through the Crowds in front. One foraging friend luckily found an old bottle half tilled with hair-oil, and this relieved the thirst of the young girl in a measure. But now another difficulty presented itself. Three steps led up to the i!atform, and how to climb these was the question. "CJet live or six strong men," she pleaded, and with their assistance and clutching at the heavy air as a safe support, the ascent was finally accomplished. A halt of ten minutes was called behind a screen to recuperate the waning energies of the wearer of the oranpfi blossoms. The crowd was growing impatient, and the bride was gently hurried upon the stage. A roar of enthusiasm greeted her as she stood for a moment before sinking into a chair, giving her friends an opportunity to inspect her costume. THE BRIDAL C0STVME. She wore a balloon made up of crimson piano covers, trimme i with awning fringe and looped up with canvas girths. A mospuito bar hung in graceful folds from her head, and she wore a garden of orange blossoms at her corsage The groom wore a variegated suit of different dates of construction and a sickly smile. At the last moment he had forgotten a necktie, but this little oversight was soon remedied. Upon the stage in various stages of per spiration were ranged four colored men in dress coats, one in an old red coat, one Huniptj'-Dumpty, six Irish girls, one Circassian girl and a number of waiters, attendants, etc. Rev. Charles E. Berger, of No. 312 Sixth 6treet, performed the ceremony. The groom had never been married before and was a little nervous, lie signed the contract with a firm hand and the table was moved up to the bride, and she, releasing her arm from the attendant who was rubbing it with a table cloth, she signed in a full, round signature. Then seizing an opportunity when no one was looking she hastily gulped down the remainder of the ink and sank back with a smile of contentment. MARRIED. The reverened gentleman stumped aim lessly about the stage for a lew minutes, indulging in a little harmless rhetoric, referring to the Convention at Buffalo. Approaching young Mr. Moses the minister yanked him around, motioned to the bride to pay attention, and inquired: "Will you have her? Have him? Got a ring? I pronounce you man and wife." The ladies swooped down upon the suffering bride and smothered her with fcisses, the crowd was politely asked to disperse, and the groom hid behind the screen and looked longingly at the napkin ring that be had surrendered to his wife. The management ptesented an elegant anchor chain to decorate the neck of the happy young wife, and other friends made offerings of flowers. A bouquc t from Grace Courtland bore the inscription, "May your shadow never grow less." Eev. Mr. Berger took upon himself to offer the newly married pair a piece of advice, in which be urgently advised them to raise their progeny in the Democratic faith. Bainbow colors are produced on brass ornaments, auch as clasps, buttons and buckles, by stringing them on a copper wire and dipping them in a bath of plumbate of soda freshly prepared by boiling litharge in caustic soda and pouring it into a porcelean dish. A linen bag of finely pulverized litharge or hydrated oxide of lead is suspended in the solution, SO as to keep up the original strength of the solution. While the articles are in this solution they are touched one after another with a platinum wire connected with the positive pole of a battery until the desired color appears. The galvanic current employed must not be too strong. The colors axe more brilliant il they are heated alter

they have l-ecn rinsed and dried. Colored hin 8 are more conveniently produced upon a bright brass by different chemicals by painting with them ör by immersion. For exam pie: golden yeilow, by dipping in a perfectly neutral solution of acetate of copper; dull grayish green, by repeatedly paiuung with very dilute solution of chloride of copper; purple, by heating them hot and rubbing over with a tuft of cotton saturated with chloride of antimony; golden red, by the use of a paste made of four parts of prepared chalk and one of mosaic gold. At a late meeting of the Anthropological Institute, London. Dr. John Rae exhibited one of the lamps in general use among the Ksquimaux for warming their dwellings and cooking their food. It was made of steatite. The shape was that of a fiat, semicircular dish, IS inches in diameter and 2i inches deep, with slightly sloping sides. Oil is burned in this lamp, and for a wick pieces of sphagnum arc arranged around the edge. Dr. Tyler remarks that the metal lamps used at the present day in some parts of Scotland and the Bouth of Europe are the same in principle and grew out of the identical original idea. Evangelist Hammond has been stirring up the sinners of Jersey City. So eloquent were his appeals, that' in one of the Baptist Churches over forty manifested a desire to repent of their evil ways and become Christians. Although Brother Hammond has become very corpuleut, he retains most of his former fervor, and addresses largo audiences with magnetic enthusiasm. He spends his leisure at Veron, Conn.

"I tell you, sir, that they are one of the neatest combinations evar produced, and my experience of that sort of thins has been wi le enough to entitle my judgment to some respect." "Oh, I don't know," responded the f rst speaker's friend, with a little yawn, as though Le didn't take much interest iu the sutject, "I have never been able to see much difference la those things.

Those things, as you call them, are just as different es the meon Is from green cheese.
