A Western Wedding.

One bright spring morning. while a
good old Methodist Bishop, himselfno
friend Of matrimony-the bishop had
written in his journal. "These West
ern people are strangely given to we'd
lock"-was travelling in the West,
there rode up to the log cabin of one
Of the pioneer itinerants, a stout West
ern lad with blooming lassie on the
pilion behind him. Arrived at the
clearing in front OF the minister's door
he was soon invited. very cordially, by
the latter to dismount and come in
Accepting the invitation, his first sal
utation after entering was,
Are you a preacher?'
Yes SIR
Can you marry?
20, yes
Can you do il quick?
Certainly
well, | and this young woman
want you to marry us just rs quick us
you can do it.
The ceremony was soon performed.
The new husband then, turning to the
parson said, How much do you
chargc?'
'A-a-a-anything you please, sir;
the preacher replied, but the jubilant
groom wouldn't have wife for moth
ing. so, hastily quitting the room. he
went out to the place where he had
hitched his steed, and soon returned
bearing a corn-husk horse collar. which
he presented to the accommodating
clergyman as his marriage fee.

There is n fair barber's-shop in one
cell in Clichy which was yesterday in
full operation; so, expecting to be
called personallyibefore the Judge, and
knowing that l must meet many
friends, / walked down stairs to be
shaved, and was taken rather aback
by the information that the barber had
been set at liberty last evening, and
there was not pan left in this whole
concourse Of practical ability to take
his place. So there are imperfections
in the social machinery even in Clin-
chy. Fourier was right; it will take
1888 persons (the cube Of I2) TO
form a perfect Social Phalanx; hence
all attempts TO do il with two hun
dred or less fail and must fail. We
had about 144 in Clichy this morning
--men Of more than average capacity;
still there are hitches, as we have
seen. / think | have learned more
there than in any two previous days
ofmy life; | never was buster; and yet
l should feel that all over week
spent there would be a waste Of time.
Let me close by stating that ar
rangements were made at once for the
liberation of the only American /
found or left there; the first, l believe,
who had been seen inside of the mid
die grating for months. For this he
will be mainly indebted to the sener-
osity Of Messrs. Greene 4 Co., bank
ers, but others are willing to cooper
ate. fear he might have staid some
time had not my position brought him
into contact with men whom his pride
would not permit him to apply TO. yet
who will not let him stay there. | am
well assured that he comes out to-
night. II. G.

There is a Farmer Pennywise with
whom am acquainted, who will occa-
sionally raise a good heifer. steer. or
colt for his neighbors who keep good
breeds. and he is by accident occasion
ally benefited thereby. When be has
such an animal as that in his Geek, he
is apparently uneasy until il is dispos-
ed Of; and aftez selling such an animal.
u heifer for instance, you may hear
something like the following:
"Well, my dear, l have sold the big
heifer for fifteen dollars; is not that
good price for heifer Of her age?"
"Good price, indeedl" his wife
would reply; "you had better have
sold two Of them cathammed, crooked
legged. scrawly things that you always
keep for cows. The reason that our
cattle always look so bad, and that we
sell so little butter and cheese, is that
you always sell the best heifers."
Poor womanl ] pity her. Her
pride and ambition are injured, her
children and self in rags. because her
native industry and economy are cram
ped by the foolish and nigardly policy
Of her husband.
The picture is reversed in the Farm
er Pennywise, who always keeps the
best animals until full grown: then,
selecting his best breeders for his own
use. he sells the rest. II he is a good
young horse. he will make fine seam
horse; If a marc, she will make fine
breed mare.
"And what will you do with that?"
says his neighbor, pointing to an ordi-
nary animal.
Between you and l." said he. 81
shall sell that colt the first chance
Such an animal spells the looks ofsthe
rest, and will not pay for his keep
ing.
Thus he will sell his poor steers.
heifers. sheep and pigs, at the FIRST Of
fer. II not sold. he would fatten
those that would pay the expense of
fattening! Are there any cattle, sheep
or hogs that will not pay the expense
of fatteuing? Reader. take some Of
each-of the real Pharaoh breed
feed them until fat; keep IN exact ac-
count of the expenses. and you can
answer this question yourself In
this way farmer Poundwise always
has valuable stock: his steers are rea-
dy sale, and command agood price:
his horses are the best in The neigh
borhood. and the first to be looked at
by purchasers. So with all the ami
mails he raises. Pcnnywise. on the
contrary. is thronged with all ill-shap-
ed, worthless stock, that none viii
buy or pay the expense Of raising;
which are continually eating out his
substance. and making no return
Thus Pennywise drags on miserable
life in the road to ruin, while Pound
wise moves easily and happily along
the road TO wealth.

THE LANDING rrHx PILGRIM FATHERS.

The breaking waves dashed high
On stern and rock bound coast,
And tho woods against . stormy sky,
Their giant branches tossed
And the heavy night hung dark
Tac hills and waters o'er,
When band OF exiles moored tholr bark
On tho Wild New England shore.
Not as the eonqueror comes,
They, the uc-hcarisd, came,
Not with tho roll OF the stirring drums.
And the trumpet that sings OF fame,
Not as the flying come,
In silence, and In fear;
They shook the depths Of the deserts gloom
With their hymns OF lofty cheer.
Amidst tho storm they sang,
And the stars heard, and the sea:
And the sounding aisies of the dim woods
rang
To the anthem OF the free.
Tho ocean eagle scared
From his nest by the white waves foam,
And tho rocking pines OF forest roared;
This was their welcome home.
There were men with hoaiy hair,
Amidst that pilgrim bend,
Why had they come 10 wither there,
Away from their ehildhood's land
