A Log Cabin Wedding.

In one of the counties Of Ohio, bordering
upon this good State of Indiana Mr.. S., a
Presbyterian minister, was returning home in
the dark of rainy day, and saw man com
ing through the grass, barefoot, with his pants
rolled above his knees, to keep them dry. As
he approached he said:
"Mr. S., will you come over to our house
and do job for me?-and l will do as much
for you sometime"
Mr.. S. saw by his bashful manner what the
job was, and replied.
'Let me speak to my family, and change my
coat, and l will be there in moment"
True to his promise, he entered the cabin,
when it had become so dark that he could
scarcely see the father, who was sitting by a
bed. Shortly after his wife came in at another
door, and a young man and woman came down
a ladder from the loft. Then all sat waiting,
the minister expecting light and other COM
pany; when the young man enquired.
Are you ready, sir?p
eyes," replied Mr. s., and took the license
and held it down and read it by the dim
light Of few Goals there were upon the hearth.
While be was marrying them the old gentleman
undressed and went to bed. The minister clos
ed the ceremony by praying while they were
yet standing, but, to his astonishment, when
ne opened MS eyes, all nau ulSappeareu. ne
then waited and waited, expecting some other
scene to open, but seeing nothing and hearing
nothing, except the hard breathing of the
healthy old gentleman, who was by this time
sound asleep, he, supposing the "play had
ended,'' found his hat and went home.
When he met the loving couple afterwards
he saw by their appearance that they were not
conscious of having violated any of the usages
of good society, but that in their minds the
light, the prayer, the supper and the fee were not
on the programme. But. as is often true. they
became deeply interested in the minister who
married them, though adults. learned to read,
so that, by the time their chilren are grown,
they may learn that there are more fashionable
and expensive styles of fastening the hymenial
knot.

LIFE INA PONDER MIL

/ Dickens thus describes visit to the powder
mill of Hounslow, near London
In this silent region, amid whose ninety
seven work places no human voice ever breaks
upon the ear, and where indeed no human
form is seen, except in the isolated house in
which his allotted task is performed, there are
upward of two hundred and fifty work people
They are peculiar race, not of eouYse by ma
ture, in most cases, but by the habit of years
The circumstances of mOmentary destruction
in which they live, added to the most strin-
gent and necessary regulations, have slbdued
i their minds and feelings to the condition oi
their hire. There is seldom any need to en-
force these regulations. Some terrific explo-
sion here, or in works of a similar kind else
where, lays fixed mark in their memories,
and acts as a constant warning.
Here no shadows of practical Joke or ca
per of animal spirits ever transpires-no wit
ticism, no chatting, or slang. A laugh is never
heard; smile seldom seen. Even the work
is carried on by the mon with as few words as
possible, and these uttered in low tone. Not
that anybody faneies that mere sound will
awaken the spirit Of combustion or cause an
lexplosion to take place, but their feelings are
always kept subdued. If one man wishes to
communicate anything to another, or ask for
anything from somebody at short distance,
he must go there; he is never permitted to
shout or call out.
There is particular reason for this last
Regulation. Amid all this silence whenever
shout does occur, everybody knows that some
imminent danger is expected the next moment
and all rush away headlong from the direction
of the shout. As to sunning toward it to offer
Iany assistance as common in all other cases,
it is thoroughly understood that none can be
afforded.
An accident here is immediate and beyond
remedy. If the shouting be continued for
some time (for man might be drowning in
river) that might cause one or two of the bold
lest to return; but this would be very rare
occurrence. 1t is by no means to be inferred
that the men are selfish and insensible to the
perils of each other; on the contrary they have
the greatest consideration for each other, as
well as for their employers, and think of the
danger to the lives of others, and of property
at stake at all times, and more especially in
the more dangerous houses. The proprietors
of the various gun-powder mills all display the
same consideration for each other, and when
ever Improvement tending to lessen DANGER
Is Indue bJ - iuIIIIOvliaUeIy c0fnInunlca-
ted to all others. The wages of the men are
good, and the hours very short; no artificial
lights are ever used in the work. They leave
the mills at 311a o'clock in the winter and sum
mer.
