How to Receive Company.


The lamps were lit and the room in per-
feet order-fowers all in their places and
musicians at their post. The ball would
presently begin.
But the husband (B-, the French Jour-
nalist) found his young and timid wife
standing lost in thought, and evidently very
much troubled in mind. With little ques-
tioning he got the secret. How was it pos
sible that she should say the few words of
appropriate civility to every one Of five hun
dred guests?
B reflected a moment.
'lIere, my darling?" he said, as the
wheels began to rattle, and the first guests
entered the hall, "two phrases will answer
all your purpose. To those who arrive, you
will say, What! come so late 2" and to
those who take their leave, you will say,
"What! going so early ~ And with a
smile and cordial tone of voice you will find
this all that is necessaryr'
Madame BIS countenancc immediate
ly lighted up, as the five hundred poured in
she addressed each guest with this flattering
speech of reception. The ball commenced
with unusual gaicty. Every one seemed to
be in state of blissful complacency. They
danced till a very late hour, and then COM
menced the eleave-takings-all managed with
the two or three little passwords of flatter-
ing preference and tender tnock-reproach.
Never was a party more successful
"What charming hostess - "What q
lovely woman !" were the cxclamations from
all lips as they went away.
For each guest was made to believe, that
his and her coming and going we're of i'm
portance to the happiness of the hostess
To be content we must feel that We are
needed,

Anticipating EVIL.

AntAcnRotAu8 EVIL
Enjoy the present, whatsoever it may be,
and be not solicitOus for the future; for If
you take your foot from the present stand
ing, and thrust it forward towards to-mor-
rows events, you are in restless condition.
1t is like refusing to qucnch your present
thirst by fearing you shall want drink the
next day. If it be we'll to-day, it is mad
ness to make the present miserable by fear
ing it may he i'll to-morrow-when you are
full of to-day's dinner, to fear that you shall
want the next days supper; for it may be
that you shall not, and then to what pur-
pose was this days affliction? But if to-
morrow you shall want, your sorrow will
come time enough, though you do not has
ten it; let your trouble tarry till its day
comes. But if it chance to be i'll to-day, do
not increase it by the cares Of tomorrow.
Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God send
them, and the evils of it bear patiently and
sweetly; for this day is only ours-we are
dead to yesterday, and we are not born to
the morrow. He, therefore, is wise that en-
joys as much as possible; and if only tkat
days trouble leans upon him, it is singular
and finite. Sufficient to the day (said
Christi is the evil thereof" sufficient, but
not intolerable. But if we look abroad, and
bring into one days thoughts the evil of
MANY, certain and uncertain, what will be
and what will never be, our load will be as
intolerable as it is unreasonable.-yere

Moorish Ladies'.

AOOf1Sn A001cS.
To their eyes at first it was only plain
little box; but when opened the box and
out flew little black, frizzly devil, with
horns and a tail, and q scarlet and white
mouth, the sensation produced could only
be compared to the effect of spark Of fire
falling into barrel Of gunpowder. All Or
der was instantaneously lost; they shouted
and screamed like maniacs they pressed
close to each other, and huddled togctherin
apparent terror Had MiltOn's Satan ap-
peared bodily among them, he could not
have been received with more awe than that
which was for a short time evoked by the
unexpected appearance Of my toy-devil.-
1t is impossible to describe the excessively
ludicrous appearance of all these fat women,
bedizened with gold and paint, and glitter
ing in their costly jewels, endeavoring to
press themselves into the smallest possible
space, in order to get away from their OBJ
ject Of terror. 1t was only after the lapse
of little time, and 5y degrees, that their
agitation calmed down. First one raised
her head, and gave a timorous and distrust-
full peep. Then another, and another, un-
til several eyes were doubtingly cast upon
the toy. But when held it out to them,
that they might examine it closely, herd
of frightened deer could not have started
of with more alarm. However, by coax
ing and persuasion, they at last ventured to
look upon it with less fear and suspicion.
If familiarity did not quite breed contempt,
it at least inspired confidence. At last they
even ventured to touch it, to handle it, to
pass it from one to another.--Lite in No.

A Boy Baby.
The editor of the Canton Repository thus
expatiates on the happiness conferred by
boy baby:
tits with feelings too deep for utterance,
and sense Of obligation overwhelming, and
of worldly consequence never before expe-
rienced, and with heartfelt ecstacy not
even dreamed Of, that the junior editor Of
this paper announces to his friends and the
rest of mankind, that son was born unto
him on the morning Of Friday last.
To those who have spent long weary years
in search of an unfailing source of joy, we
say, that we never knew what it meant un.
til we saw our darling boy. If We were not
so corpulent we would cut such fantastic
figures before the couch of helpless ini1o-
cence, as would make the angels laugh. A
general reprieve is granted to all political
offenders, and an earnest appeal made to
those in pecuniary arrears to liquidate at
the earliest convenience, as the young gen.
tleihan must be fed and clothed"

she had maintained it-by never frequent

been shed over this specimen of the virtue
of Suresties. The village, however, declar-
ell with one voice that there were other rea-
sons for not reading romances, as the elect
one had neuer learned to read at all. The
special reward which virtue received in this
case was three dozen goodly covers of solid
silver with five hundred francs in money

.e In the wear 1903 Mr.. jaw preache,

w In the year 1903 Mr.. Jay preached
a sermon before the Correspondent Board in
London Of society incorporated by royal
charter, for the propagation of Christian
knowledge in the highlands and islands of
Scotland; and the Duke of Athol and other
distinguished men formed part of his con-
gregation on that occasion. At meeting
Of the board, the noble duke being in the
chair, it was unanimously resolved that their
thanks should be given to Mr.. Jay for the
sermon, and that he should be requested to
permit the same to be printed for the soci-
ETY.. Such permission was given. The
text was
"Skin for skin; yea, all that . man hath
will he give for his life."
When the proof.sheets Of the sermon
were sent to Mr.. Jay for correction, he found
that the printer had printed the text thus
''Skin for skin! yea, all that man hath
will he give for his WIFE,"
Instead of correcting the error in the
usual way, he wrote on the margin under
lining the word wife

McGREGOR IOWA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER g 1862 WHO.
The Great wedding.

1nO 6feot " "eOOlm8s
Our New York exchanges bring us ac-
counts of the great wedding of Don Esta-
ban Santa Cruz dc Oviedo, the Cuban mil
lionaire, and Miss Frances Amelia Bartlett,
daughter of Mr.. Washington Bartlett, of
New York, formerly of the American navy
This event, which has been the great theme
of fashionable gossip for months past, took
place at st. Patrick's Cathedral on Thurs
day, the august ceremony being performed
by Archbishop Hughes. The crowd at the
church was immense, every pew being oc-
cupicd, and the aisles filled to their utmost
capacity. Several ladies were taken out in
fainting condition. The following may
interest our fair readers:
1.-The bridesmaids wore dresses of white
tarltan, with double skirt, trimmed with
three or four rows of putting on the upper
and lower jupe. Two of the bridesmaids
had their dresses trimmed with blue and
two with red. Their heads were wreathed
with red, white, and blue flowers. The
groomsmen were dressed in the convention
al black broadcloth with white waistcoats
The bride, the great centre of attraction,
was superbly attired in magnificent dress
of white silk, draped with founces of Brus-
\
in graceful folds from her head, which was
wreathed with orange flowers, and swept
down to the ground. A rich necklace, con-
sisting of four rows of large pearls, encir-
cled her neck and was fastened in front with
diamond clasp. The earrings consisted
each of heavy single pear-shaped pearl.
A brooch of jewels, to which was pendant
the celebrated briolette diamond, considered
by the jewellers, Tiffany Co., as the most
brilliant and valuable diamond in America
for its size and price, completed the gor-
geous and tasteful costume. Mrs. Bartlett,
the mother of the bride, was dressed in
white silk, and wore head dress of flowers
and jewels.
After the marriage ceremony, Archbishop
Hughes delivered an address of about half
an hours length, in which he made an car
nest protest against the system of divOrc-
ing. The Catholic Church, he said, never
granted a divorce, although, by persisting
in this principle in the case of Henry Will,
she lost England. The sacredness of the
institution Of marriage is directly opposed
to divorces. 1t is no mere human contract,
to be dissolved at the option of either party,
but can only be broken by death. The
state of society where divorces were easily
attainable proved the bad effect of the d.
vorce system. After dwelling for some
time on this topic, the speaker alluded to
the usefulness of double marriage by both
Catholic and Protestant rituals. He de-
clared that repeated marriage was a mere
absurdity. In the present case, the parties
united in st. Patrick's Cathedral were fully
married, and needed no further marriage
ceremony. The Archbishop then exhorted
the bride and groom to exercise mutual for
bearance toward each other, and reminded
them of the duties and cares of married life

The FAsHIoNs.-The fall fashions have
set in WITH all their severity. There is one
thing, however, to recommend them; they
are extremely simple, and very easily fol-
lowed. For ladies bonnets, the dominant
tone, as our friend Genin would say, is
black. There must be plenty of black, and
other colors may be mixed with it to suit
the convenience or taste Of the individual.
Black and blue, black and yellow, or black
and green but the tendency is to black and
red. All the ladies, bless 'em appear tu
have gone into mourning. AS for the men,
or gents" as the tailor calls us, the ugliest
and commonest material possible is the
most fashionable for trowsers; We mean
that forked article Of male attire known BY
sewing women and journeymen tailors as
pants" Any kind of coarse and hideous
stuff which cart-horse would object to
having on his back is the thing for trow-

A Good Thing in the Story Limo.

Some years ago Cincinnati paper re-
ceived and printed the first chapter Of what
appeared to be most thrilling romance, in
the expectation of being provided with the
concluding portions as might be needed
The chapter was very ingenuously written,
and Concluded by leaving the principal char
acter suspended over perpendicular preci-
pice. 1t attracted the attention of the press
and enquiries began to be made concerning
the continuation of the fate of its hero
Day after day the victimized publishers
looked for the remaining chapters, but in
vain. They never came to hand. Finding
that they had been sold, and wishing to put
stop to the joke their contemporaries were
cracking at their expense, they briefly con-
cluded the story thus:
CAArTER RII-coNCLrSIoS:
After hanging to the treacherous tree for
FOUR weeks, his pantaloons gave way, and
Charles Melville rolled headlong over the
yawning precipice. He fell a distance of
five miles, and came down with the small Of
his back across stake and rider fence, so
jarring him that he was compelled to travel
in Italy for his health, where he is at present
residing. He is engaged in the butchering
business, and is the father of large family.

ALCOHOL.

ALCOHOL.
There walked fiend DER the glad green earth,
BY the side OF the reaper death
lie daxzles alike with the glare OF mirth,
Or Quenches the light Of the household hearth
With his fond and wthering breath.
He stalketh abroad with his hydra head,
And there gathereth in his brain,
The falling foot and the strong man's tread,
The restless living, the ghastly dead,
And misery, want; aud pain:
He nerves the arm of relentless hate
With the goblet's beaded foam,
He turks In the halls Of the rich and great,
In the besgar's moan, at the palace gate
And curses the poor mans home.
lie bartcrs the wealth of spotless name,
For the vine cups subtle glow,
And scatbes the pnions of breathoss fame,
Till they droop with their burthens OF guilt and shame,
Mid the curses Of sin and woe
And there cometh ever . sorrtwing vail,
In the path Of his blighting tread;
And chi ldhoods cheek grows wan and pale,
And its heart Is faint, and his footsteps fail,
For he grudgeth the poor their bread.
Grudgsth the poor their daily bread,
And fleth the drunkard's bowl
W ith want and woe-remorse and dread
With nerveless hand and falling head,
And . curse on his deathess soul.
And beauty and manhood-lovs and mirth,
Still turn to the laughing wine,
But the bighted home and the darkened hearth,
And the tears of sorrowiss ones Of earth,
Lie deep in its gleam and shine.
And the hend still watcheth, with tireless will,
For the SWIFT and weary tread,
For he knoweth the wine with its subtle skill
Shall gather alike the good and Ill,
Meath the curse Of Its iron tread.
