The TBac,,elOr,S Bridal.

Not laugh was heard, nor joyous note.
For orr friend to the bridal we hurried,
Not wit discharged his farewell shot,
At the bachelor just to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Oar head from the sad sight turning,
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps dim

To think that he was no more discerning.
To think that bachelor free and bright.
And shy Of the girls as we found him:
Should here by the altar at dead OF night,
Be caught in the snare that bound hun.
Few and short were The words that were said
Though we heartily ate OF the cake
Then escorted him home from that scene Of

We thought as wc halowed his lowly bed.

How the shovel and broomstick would break

But half of our heavy task was done,

Pete MILESTONE and tho Mail Boy

Pete Milestone, of Arkansas, was
once travelling on horseback through
the interior of the State, and called
one evening to stay all night at lit
tie log house near the road where
entertainment and post-oillce were
kept. Two other strangers were
there, and the mail rider rode up a
bout dark. Supper being over, the
mail carrier and the three gentlemen
were invited into a small room fur
nished with a good fire and two beds,
which were to accommodate the four
persons for the night. The mail
carrier was a little shabby, dirty,
lousy looking wretch, with whom none
of the gentlemen liked the idea of
sleeping. Pete Milestone eyed him
closely az he asked
"Where do you sleep tonight, my
lad?"
"rIl thleap with you, l reckon"
lispcd the youth, cor with one O them
other fellars, don't care which,"
The other two gentleman took
the hint and occupied one of the beds
together Immediately, leaving the
other bed and the tonfab to be en-
Ijeyed by Pete and the mail boy to-
gether as best they could. Pete and
the boy both commenced hauling of
their buds, and Pete, getting in bed
first and wishing to get rid of sleep
ing with the boy, remarked very ear
ncstly-"My, friend, I'll tell you be-
fore hand, Ire got The itch, and you'd
better not get in here with me, for
the disease is catching."
The boy, who was just getting in
bed too, draWled out very c0olly
oval, reckon that don't make a bit
O dilfercnec-I've had it now for
nearly these Uneven years" and into
bed he pitched along with Pete, who
pitched out in as great hurry as il
he had walked up hornets nest in
the bed The other two gentlemen
roared, and the mail boy, who got
peace able possession of bed to him
self, drawled out-"Why you must
be tibet O darned fules-lnan and
dads got the catch a heap wurth
than | is, and they thlept in that bed
last night, when they was here at the
quitting"
The other strangers were now in a
worse predicamcnt than Pete had
been, and bouncing from their nest
like the house had been on fire, strip
ped, shook their clothes, put them on
again, ordered their horses, and
though it was tcn o'clock, they all
three left, and rode several miles to
the next town blore they slept, lea1
ing the imperturable mail carrier to
the bliss Of scratching and sleeping
alone.-Southern Watch tower.

venturous spider that would have
dared to ply his cunning trade in
Mrs. CARROTS premises. Nobody
was allowed to sleep wink after
daylight beneath her roof. Even
her old rooster crowed an hour ear
her than any of her neighbours Go

stick in the establishment.
She gave her husband his break
fast, buttoned him up in his overcoat,
and put him out at the front door,
with his face in the direction of the
store, in less time than it has taken
me to tell it. Then she snatched up
the six little CARROTS, scrubbed their
faces up and down, without regard to
feelings, or pug noses, until they
shone like a row of milk pans.
Clear the track was her motto,
washing and ironing days. She
never drew a long breath till the
Wash-tubs were turned bottom up

wearing apparel sprinllIed, folded,

J@lt is perhaps not generally
known that the only area of 'inhab
table ground in Australia is that
which skirts the seacoast, and is only
2 or 800 miles deep. Beyond this
into the great heart of the island
stretches dismal desert-sands diff
ed into high and impenetrable rock!
There are few rivers in the country
and indeed there are none deserving
the name, for few keep running the
entire year. Most of these, strange
to say run inland! And instead of
falling into a lake, are absorbed into
the thirsty desert among the burning
sands! The improbable lands on the
coast are, however, highly productive
of fruits and grains Of every descrip-
ton; and the pasturage is magnii-
cent.

VALUABLE PlLLs-Some twenty

of his face, met the celebrated DR.

wise
Can you-ah, tell me, Doctah
how fab they have succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the conaagration of the
ali, unfortunate yeoman's barn?
The Doctor eyed the individual at
tentively, dropped his head as usua'
for moment; and then slipping bis
thumb and fingers into his vestpocke'
took out a couple ofpills, and handec
them to him, saying
Take these; sir, and go to bed
and if you don't feel better in the
morning, call at my office. '-Literary
