An Unusual Wedding Scene.

Some time since, six young gentlemen
bid farewell to the lassics who had won
their hearts amid Scotia's blooming heath
or, and sought the shores of America, in
hope Of being enabled the better to pre-
pare for welded life. They located at
Chicago, where the remembrance of their
"bonnie Annie Lauries" inspired them to
unusual and perseyerering exertions, till
fortune at last so favored them that they
sent home to Scotland the information
that they were now anxious to see their
betrothed, and accompanied the message
with a goodly remittance to pay their pas.
sage. The girls for mutual protection
came over the ocean in the same vessel
and arrived in safety at Quebec. Thence
they embarked with several other passen-
gers on n river steamer, to continue their
journey down the St. Lawrence. The
of the six betrothed maidens, five found
fiery or wattery graves. The sixth, Miss.
Jane Pettigrew, was taken up for drown
cd, and only by faithful and persistent at
tention was her life saved. All her
worldly possessions wero gone, but kind
hearted women at Montreal supplied her
abundantly when they heard her affect
ing story Eventually she reached her
destination, and in late number of the
Chicago Tribune there is chronicled the
marriage of Mr.. Adam Tate Of Chicago
to Miss Jeanette Pettigrew. He only reap
ed his reward of long exertions; and at
the wedding there were present two ofthe
other five young men, whose feelings when
they contrasted the happiness of their
friend with their own bereaved condition
must have been sad indced.-Boston

Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

A correspondent of the Boston Trans
cript says;
A friend, now in Florence, gives the
following account, in recent letter, of q
visit to the author of Aurora.

turned, and were at their old quarters

Browning was. suffering deep affection
from the loss of relative. Mr.. Browning

after lapse ofsome weeks, renewed my
visit. Fancy to yourself an old palace

Mr.. B. said, Here's Mrs. dear, -

fresh and unused to other boys, he looks
as ifhe had just dropped from the skies.

THE HOUSE AND FARM.
Preserving Fruit and Vegefa-
bIes for Winter Use.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are not only
great Injuries in winter, but they are
healthful. The old plan of preserving
fruit in an equal part of sugar, making an
expensive, indigestible and unhealthy sub
stance, is fast giving place to the method
of preserving in alright cans and bottles.
For this object a variety OF cans and jars
have been introduced, some of course are
superior to others. The kind to be pre-
ferred are those that most efectually ex-
clude the air, and can be managed with
the greatest convenience, regard being had
to durability and cheapness.
Fruits of every kind, together with
garden vegetables, such as peas, beans,
corn, tomatoes, &c, may be preserved for
winter use, retaining all their flavor and
freshness that belong to them when first
gathered. Besides the luxury and health
giving properties of an abundant supply
Of fresh fruits and vegetables throughout
the winter, they serve to economic the
more expensive articles Of food that are
now so much advanced in price. In every
well-conducted garden there is always a
greater quantity Of the various fruits and
vegetables than are required for imme-
date use in the family, which should be
put up for winter. While many kinds of
fruit in our Western climate are so liable
to be cut off by early frosts, it is always
well to have a good supply on hand to
meet such contingency.
In putting up berries, peaches and ten
der fruits generally, they only require
sufficient scalding in large kettle to thor
oughly expel the air. They should then
DO put into the can or jars while hot, and
placed into vessel of boiling water to
near the top of the cans or jars. The jars
should be entirely filled, and whom made
scalding hot should be Immediately sealed
care being taken that it be perfectly done.
They should now be removed from the
water to cool. If cans are used, when
they become perfectly cool the ends will
fall in and become followed by the shrink
age of the fruit. If this is not the case it
may be inferred that the sealing is imper-
feet, the air from without has pressed in
and the work must be done over again.
Green corn, string beans and Lima
beans require to be boiled from two to
two anc a half hours before they are put
into the cans. Tomatoes should be boiled
until the redundancy ofjuice is evaporated.
Common stone jugs answer perfectly for
tomatoes and are cheap and durable and
much better than metallic cans which are
liable to bo corroded by the acid of the
fruit. Good corks we'll put in and sealed
over will perfectly exclude the air.
AS the present season in most sections
of the country is n fruitful one we give
these timely hints.

BuLwER ON THE WEED AND WOMAN.
In his new work, now in course Of pub
lication, "W hat Will He Do With It?"
Bulwer thus moralizes on 'the weed" and
woman:
Gle who doth not smoke hath either
known no griefs, or refuses himself the
softest consolation next to that which
comes from heaven. 'sWhat softer than
woman?" whispers the young reader.
Young reader, woman leases as well as
consoles. Woman makes half the sorrow
which she boasts the privilege to soothe.
Woman consoles lis, it ia true, while we
are young and handsome; when we arc
old and ugly, woman snubs and scolds
us. On the whole then, woman in this
scale, the weed in that, Jupiter, hang out
thy balance, and weigh them both; and
if you give the preference to woman, all
| have to say..is, the next time juno. rufiles

The late Judge CAN'T (says the Charles
ton Courier was one of the eccentric
men. He was eminently benevolent and
pious, but of all ardent and enthusiastic
temperament and occasionally INDUCED,
when moved by ardent spirits or anything
else that reused his anger, or bis sense
of the ridiculous, in license of speech and
humor not wholly in keeping with his re-
ligiors profession. In illustration OF this
auaintness of character his friends tell
tho following anecdote He had long
been DESTROYS to purchase from his
neighbor small tract of land, with mill
seat, or suitable for one, and they never
had been able to agree on q satisfactory
price. AT length on certain occasion
he proposed to his neighbor that they
should meet on given day and hour at
tavern, about midway between their res
licences, in order, if possible, to conclude
the bargain. His neig hbor asserting they
accordingly met at the appointed time
and place. The Judge was strict Bap-
fist, his neighbor strict Methodist; and
the former spake thus: -
my friend we have met, for the pur-
pose Of entering into contract about this
land Now contract is solemn thing
and no one should enter into it, but with
q cleal conscience and clean hands. There
fore l propose t,'at each of us should
lneel down and put up a little prayer to
our Heavenly Father, that he may be
guided by pure motives and strict justice
in the bargain he is about to make"
Tho Methodist having acquiesed, tho
Judge knelt down in one corner of the
apartment, the Methodistin the other. AT
ter decent interval, the Judge rose, and
the Methodist following the suit, they adj
vanced toward each other and met in the
middle of the room.
"Now my friend" said the Judge, 1--WE
have made clean breasts of it-what will
you take for your land 7"
"Five hundred dollars" said the Meth
odist. rv. ~-
olive hundred dollars" exclaimed the
Judge. "You id unreasonable dog
I'll have nothing to do with you;'' and he
forthwith departed in high dudgeon.

ABOUT THE Box THAT WAS Discussed
WITH HUNTING UP Cows.-A certain dis
tinguishcd citizen Of, who has file d
the highest office in the State, was once
in the employ of farmer in western New

duty to ''bring the cows" One evening
the cows and boy "came up missing"
Some years after, the farmer was pas

saw the name of his cow boy over one of
the largest hardware houses in the West.
He walked in and found his boy in the
counting room. He stared a moment up
on the truant and then broke out with,
"Hallo Len, have you found the cows
yet?" One may imagine what followed
"a mutual recognition. 1t is said the
