IN a RATHER RApFU

NOT long since an athletic Young Virginia
1armertook fair GIRL ssall bathed in bushes -
from her parents, and started for the first town
across the Pennsylvania line to be married,
"here the ceremony could be performed with
out license. The happy pair were accom-
| panied by sister of the girl-a tall. ruant
and sharp featured female of some thirty seven
| summers. The pair crossed the line, were
married and returned to Welsville TO pass the
night. People at the hotel where the wedding
party stopped, observed that they conducted
themselves in rather singular manner. The
husband would take bis sister-in-law, the tall
female aforesaid, Into one corner of the par
ior ana talk earnestly to her, gesticuiating
wildly the while. Then the tall female would
''put her foot down. and talked to him in an
angry and excited manner Then the husband
would take his fair young bride into corner,
DuI ne could no sooner commence talking to
her than the guant sister would rush between
them and angrily join in the conversation.
Inc people at the hotel ascertained what all
this meant about O'Clock that evening,
lhere was an uproar in the room assigned to
the newly married couple. Female shrieks
ana masculine s'swears'' startled the people at
the hotel, and they rushed to the spot. The
guant female was pressing and kicking against
the door OF the room, and the newly married
man, mostly undressed, was barring her out
with all his might. Occasionally she would
Kick the door far enough open to disclose the
staiwart husband, in his gentleman Greek
Slave apparel. 1t appeared that the tall fe-
male insisted upon occupying the same room
with the newly welded pair; that her sister
was favorably disposed to the arrangement,
and the husband had agreed to it before the
wedding took place, and was now indignantly
repudiating the contract. ssWon't you 60 a.
way, now Susan, peaceful 20 said the newly
married man, softening his voice.
"No," said she, 81 won't-so there i''
inch tho
married sister within the room.
"Now--now, Annie,'' said the young man
to his wife, in piteous tone, ssdon't go for to
cuttin' up in this way now don't!'
"I'll cut ups much as wanter :" she sharp
ly replied.
"Well,' roared the desperate man throwing
the door wide open and stalking out among
the crowd, swell, jest you two wiumin put on
yeur duds and go right straight home and
bring back the old man and woman, and your
grandfather who is nigh on to hundred
bring I'm all here, and RI marry the ,rhole id
ca6oodfe Of 'en1. and yell all sleep together"
The difficulty was finally adjusted by tho
tall female taking room alone.

LORD NELSON A FETIsH.-The Haytien pa
pears relate the following curious story ssA-
mong the Acui mountains there has been fonnd,
in an old house, bust of Lord Nelson. II is
white marble, somewhat stained by time and
neglect. Nelson is represented in his costnme
OF admiral, and bears on his breast five deco
rations. One in commendation of the battle
of Aboukir, has the inscription sRear Admi-
raj Lord Nelson of the Nie.' Another medal
bears the words: almighty God has blessed
his Majesry's glory!' This bust interesting in
its artistic and historical association was found
on an altar devoted to the fetish worship, where
for half 6. century it has been revercnced as
the deity of the Mountain Streams. The name
of the sculptors were 'Coale and Leaiy, Of
lambeth Thus for fifty years a bust of an
English admiral has been worshipped as hea-
then idol. The finder of the statute has refus-
ed an offer of five hundred dollars for it''

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.


When the hours of day are numbered,
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul that slumbered,
To a holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted.
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful freight,
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door,
The beloved. the true-hearted,
Come to visit me once more.
He. the young and strong. who cherished
Noble longing for the strife,
By the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore.
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spoke with us on earth no more.
And with them the being beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now a saint in heaven;
With slow and noiscless footstep,
Comes the messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at mo,
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saint like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the Spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rcbukcs, in blessings end d,
Breathing from her lips of air.
o. though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If l but remem be- only
Such as these have lived and died

IMBEcuEs.-One child in one thousand Is
an imbecile. There are 10000 in the United
States. They are SO by ill-made marriages,
by drunkenness OF parents, by neglect and
ill-treatment, and sometimes by medicine.
Very little has ever been done for them or
thought possible. But it is true that almost
all such children can be brought up so as to-
gain sufficient mental strength to take care of
themselves, and be measurably intelligent and
happy. The schools for imbeciles in Paris
have shown this. The little spark of mind
they have must be watched and famed,
and blown by degrees into a fame. 1t
may be done in large majority of cases.
Schools have recently been established in Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York.
