SWEET-TONED MANDOLIN.
7 bear her faintly hamming To the sweet and gentle strumming Of tbe mandolin she fondles,
With the most impartial care, And how dreaipitj I linger Watching acb bejeweled linger O'er the strings go softly sweeping
Like a breath o' aorntag air.
And bow eagerly 1 listen When I see those dear eyes glisten With alight so pore and holy,
Where no dartnwus enters in, And my heart keeps wildly dancing To the melody entrancing. Which she eonferes with such deftness
From her sweeWoned mandolin.
In my dreams I hear its ringing. And the voice of her whose singing Leads my tired and restless spirit
To a land of peace and rest, Where my heart is free from sorrow, For no troubles can it borrow That will cause one seed of sadness
To take root within my breast. Ah! you think Tm only dreaming, That I ata forever scheming, But the fact

I assure you,
That my heart strings are akin To those that sweetly render When smote with fingers tender The most exquisite music
On her sweet-toned mandolin. —F. Parker, Jr., in Brooklyn Eagle.
MARRIAGE BY CAPTURE.
Places Whoro Forco Is Necessary to Gain Wives.
TriaU of Ancient Iovero The Ardent Swain in Iai«ser of liuviug Bis Mead Broken by th« Object of His ACTections—Illustrations from History.
To all classes a marriage is a topic of absorbing interest Politicians, formerly the best of friends, but since estranged owisg to their political proclivities. and who, savo to glare at one another from opposite benches, seldom meet under tho same social roof, aro drawn togother once more when a mutual friond takes it upon him or herself to enter into the bond of matrimony, and for a timo sink their differences in honor of tho occasion. Perhaps tho spirit of good-fellowship which seems to permeate everybody on tho happy day may even induce tho bitterest of foes to forgot their wrongs and shake hands in a manner which shows they aro both delighted to make it up and little likely to repent of so doing. The business man forsakes his daily task, and nearly everybody in the office gets a holiday the lawyer returns his briefs, or has them "devilled" by some lucky junior who has long wanted to find his legal legs tho village turns out in Sunday best to gavco at tho array of bunting and triumphal arches and even tho hermit throws ol! somo of his impenetrability at the sound of the* marriago bells.
The winning of tho bride may have caused many sleepless nights at one time tho fates are propitious, at another frowning but at last tho difficulties and doubts havo been overcome, and all troubles left behind, forgotten, when the day comes to crown the lover's pationco with what ho has so long dosired. But all the trials of satisfying tho stern demand for a bandsomo settlement, overcoming family prejudices, and winning tho afloctions of tho lady, aro little in comparison with thoso wa read of as having tortured tho lover long ago, and even now in distant lands.
Hundreds of years before Britain had begun to attract iho attention of the bold Roman adventurers, intenton gain and conquests now, we find that mon had to take wives unto themselves by forco of arms, or by some base subterfugo which went not altogether unpunished in those troubled times. Every schoolboy has felt tho irksome task of translation relieved by tho story of Roranhffl and his city full of mon pining for the company of women, and driven at last by their desperation to their cowardly deception. Who has not heard of tho proclamation of games to bo eolobrated in honor of the god Consus, the invitation of tho Latins and Sabines to tho festival, during which Romulus and his tiery youths rushed upon them and oacrietl off their virgins, leaving the matrons to escapo as best thoy ould? 'r
Tho Romans wero not the only people of tho classic ago who had such difficulties to overcome, for the Spartan Jamsols also had to be compelled by violence to submit to matrimony. But .although in very early tirnos a husband had to resort to violence to obtain a wife, we find that when these nations had settled down into comparative civilization, it becamo part of tho ceremony of marriage that there should be show of capture on the husband's part, in Rome and cparta, among tho lower classes, when a marriago was arranged, tho bride sat confidingly on her mother's lap, and was not at alt surprised when her hnshatul came accompanied Hv h?j frfc-ind-. hU part of the Contract by tearing hor away from her mother's fopd embraces.
Records show that violence or capture was a necessary feature of a marriage in nearly every land at one time or another, and even at the present day nmong many cases the Custom is preserved in a modified form. An interesting instance of recent times is given of tho Khoads. AU the preliminaries being satisfactorily arranged, each family contributes something toward adorning the feast which is prepared at the bride's dwelling. The feast is succeeded by dancing and singing well into the night, until it is time for the real business to commence. An uncle of the bride takes her en his shoulders, and in uncle of the bridegroom does the jame for him, while the dance is at its height.
Suddenly they exchange their burlens and tho uncle of the bridegroom iisappears with tbe bride, hotly purmed by her female friends, who are tept at hay by the comrades of the bridegroom striving their utmost to «eep them off and cover her flight She :s wrapped in a scarlet cloak while the reung women even go so far as to hurl stones and bamboos at the devoted »ridegroom until he has escaped with lis bride to the verge of the village, fhen the cereraony iscomplete, and belt tllowed to conduct his hard-won spouse

It has been suggested that in the hurling of the stones we can trace the origin of the throwing of old slippers after the wedded couples of our own land but it seems along way to go to Khondistan to derive the origin of the amusing custom over which so much skill is sometimes exercised |p insure the slipper keeping company with them on their honeymoon.
Among the Kalmucks we have slight variation of the programme, Ife seems that the man who wants to marry any particular girl, has to win her by the fleetness of his horse. She is mounted on horseback, and gallops off as fast as she can go. He follows and if he can catch her sho is his wife, and has to return to his tent with him- We are told that theYe has never been an instance where she has been caught if she has no desire to become his wife but it would seem from this, that after he has paid her parents tho prico they agreed upon, she has no option but to avoid the marriage by a successful flight
It is not unknown to many that until quite recently a similar custom prevailed in Wales. Tho bridegroom, having won the damsel's heart, appeared with all his friends mounted at her door on tho wedding morn and demanded her from her parents. The bride's friends, likewise on horseback, refused to give her up, upon which a scuffle ensued. *She was suddenly mounted bohind her nearest kinsman and carried off, pursued by the bridegroom and the whole body of friends, who with loud shouts and much laughter gallop after her. It was not uncommon to see two or three hundred people riding along at full speed, crossing in front and jostling one another to tho delighted amusement of the onlookers. When they and their horses wore thoroughly exhausted, tbe bridegroom was allowed to overtake the bride, carry her away in triumph, tho whole party finishing the day with feasting and festivity.
Sir Henry Piers gave an account of a similar kind of ceremony in the wilds of Ireland, where tho interested parties met somewhere between tho two dwellings to discuss the matter and make arrangements. If an agreement was concluded, tho agreement bottle wasdrunk, aud then tho bride's father sent round to all his neighbors and friends to collect his wife's portion, to which every one gave a cow or a heifer. These the husband bad to restore to their respective donors if tho bride died childless within a certain tirfre. On the day of bringing home, the bridegroom and his friends rode out to meet the bride and hor friends at the place of meeting. Being como near each other, the custom was of old to cast sh#vrt darts at the company attending the bride, but at such a distance that seldom any hurt ersued, although wo ifo hear that on one such occasion a noble lord lost an cyg, which must havo gono far to sound tho knell of this quaint old custom.
Another curious instance affording evidence of ancient capture occurs in a certain Arab tribe. The botrothal takes place apparently in a similar manner to that of young English people of the nineteenth century but the marriage is only rendered complete by the husband bringing a lamb in his arms to tho tent of tho girl's father and there cutting its throat boforo witnesses. As soon as tho blood falls to tho ground the marriage is complete, and he retires to his tent to await his lady. A game of hide-and-seek is played by the girl and by tho people of tho village, who pursue her as she runs from tent to tent At last sho is caught, and led off in triumph by somo of tho women to her lover, who, taking possession of her, forces her Into his tont
Perhaps the Bedouin Arabs of Mount Sinai conduct their matrimonial arrangements in the strangest fashion, for when a man desires to marry he gops to tho maiden's father and makes a bid, which may or may not bo accepted. Should tho father think the offer sufficiently tempting, the sale is completed without the chief person concerned being consulted. When she comes homo in the evening with the cattle, she is met at a short distance from tho camp by hor intended husband and two of his friends, and is carried ofl by force to her father's tent
If, however, sho has timo to defend herself, and suspects their errand, she defends herself likoayoung tigress, biting, kicking, throwing sticks and stones and anything that comes to hand at her antagonists, often injuring them severely, even though she is not altogether averse to the match. The greater resistence she makes the greater praise sho receives from her companions, who record it in her favor forever after. When she is safely in ber father's tent, they throw a man's cloak over her, and make a formal announcement of her future husband's name. Sho is placed on a camel in her bridal dress still struggling with might and main, and has to he held on by tho young men. Then sho is led round three times, and afterward taken into her husband's tent, the ceremony being wound up With the usual feast and presents to the bride.
In comparing these few instances culled from current authorities upon folk lore and kindred subjects, it will be seen how prosaic is the modern English marriage, which, even after a thoroughly romantic courtship, peaceably assures the ardent lover of his victory. There are not many fashionable young men about town who would seek matrimony, If it could only be attained at the risk of a broken head or other practical demonstration of his wife's prowess.-— Chamber's Journal.

THE DESERTED DIAMOND.
No person Just now knows how tho Pittsburgh club will be made up next season.^
Captain Comiskey bitterly refers to his late subjects as "the dress suit trunk brigade." ./
Last winter the League magnates did the skirmishing. Now the boot is on the other leg.
Charley King has added another brick house to the list of his possessions in St. Louis. "The first shall be last" Well, the first annual meeting of the Players* League was the last
Henry M. Stanley has not yet been asked to transfer the Players' League to darkest Africa—Cincinnati Times-Star.
Talk of a reduction in salaries is now the fashion, but the tune will change when the signing of players begins.
Ward seems to be left very much in the cold. He may be depended upon to come up smiling, however.
John B. Day and Eddie Talcott are now the best of friends. There is nothing like a good fight to promote sociablity..
H. B. Rea, of the "United Pittsburgh Club," gives tho Smoky City keynote of *91 so: "We will have fifty-cent ball hero next year and a grand club." "Won't you walk into my parlor?" said the National League spider to the Players' League fly. The invitation was accepted with thanks, and there you are.
That was a novel idea of presenting the Pittsburgh National League Club with a blue flag bearing 114 white stars, each representing a defeat. J. Palmer O'Neill enjoyed the joke and had the flag hoisted.
Captain Comiskey denies that he has signed with Von der Ahe in St. Louis for next year. He says he will stand by his contract with the Chicago club for the coming two years, and denies that the club owes its players much- He also denies the St. Louis story that he called the Chicago Brotherhood people confidence men.
Players' League men are singularly successful in politics. William E. Russell, the Governor-elect of Massachusetts, is a warm adherent of the new league Henry Bacon, its counsel, has been elected to Congress from this State, and Thomas L. Johnson, of Cleveland, .was chosen to the National House of Representatives.
In electing Charles A. Prince to the presidency of the Players' League that organization has honored itself. Mr. Prince comes from one of the best fami lies in Massachusetts. His father was elected mayor of Boston five times and once received tho Democratic nomina tion for Governor, being defeated by a small plurality. Mr. Prince is now counsel for the New York & New England Railroad Company, and is a brilliant and reliable man.
President Young has sent out official notice of tbe expulsion of the old Cincinnati club and the election to membership of the new. Ho also gives notice that the new club has accepted the services of the old players, as follows: Latham, Beard, McPhee, Reilly, Knight, Holliday, Barr, Harrington, Keenan, Rhines, Dolan, Mullane, Clingman and Duryea. It is noticeable that Mr. Brush, in making up his list, has omitted the name of Pitcher Foreman.
