The Jenkins" who reported the late we'd
ding in the Washington Chronicle, says the
reputation of the bridegroom, Senator
Sprague, as statesman and a soldier, is
" world aide" and does the bride as follows ::
" Miss Kate Chase, the bride Of the distin-
gaished senator, is lady possessed of those
rare virtues OF heart and mind, which alone
can be recognized and appreciated by those
who are daily thrown in contact with her /;
and it is in the modest retirement of her
own home that these graces sparkle and "a
diate ike gems of dazzling splendOr. Mod
est and retiring in her manners, We. blending
withal dignity and ease that singles her
cut to the least ohservant eye as a women
endowed with nobility of heart, fitting her
for any position in life, no matter how e1-
alted." Miss Chase was married in a gorge
ous white velvet dress with an extended
trail, with rich lace veil upon her head
Senator Sprague "was clad in a suit of rich
black cloth, with the usual addition of white
silk vest"

A Word TO MY Fat Friends.

In horse car the other day met six cor
pulent uncomfortable men, all quite sure to
die prematurely. Every one of them might,
in six or twelve months, be reduced to the
normal standard, and enjoy a degree OF
health and activity to which he is now
stranger. Is any physiological statement
more selfevident than that every fat person
eats more than he needs And the same
excess works oppositely with others, and
keeps them excessively lean. "But," ex-
claims some fat young woman, who would
give the world to be in good shape,
cannot go hungry and fsint forever" This
remark shows that YOU have never tried
what l have suggested. 1t is only the
gleat eater who is troubled with hunger and
"goneness." If you would reduce the quaa-
tity of your food. even one-half at once, af-
ter three days you will not suffer with faint
ness and hunger. In the light of these un-
deniable statements, how silly the practice,
common among girls, of swallowing acids,
and other killing things; and among men.
sleeping in tobacco to reduce the flesh.
have personally known scores of young wo-
men whose health has been ruined by drink
ing vinegar, or eating chalk and other indi-
sestibe things, all to take away their fat.
And | have known still greater number to
ruin themselves with corsets, in the hope of
keeping themselves eomely and in shape.
| have net hundreds of men who were be-
smeared and saturated with tobacco juice,
objects of disgust to all beholders, a terror
to decent housekeepers, and all to keep their
flesh down. My poor, dear, fat simpletons,
allow me TO prescribe for you: Rise early,
exercise much, particularly in the open air;
bathe frequently, rubbing the skin very hard ;
but most important of all eat plain, coarse
food, and reduce the quantity until You find
yourselves growing thinner two or three
pounds per week. Your sluggishness, short
breath aud other discomforts will soon leave
you and you will become bright, clear-headed
and happy.-Dio Le,ris.

BRUTALIIIEs OF THE REBELs.-Rev. Geo.
H. Hammer, chaplain of The 18th Pennsylva-
MIA cavalry, who was recently released from
Libby prison, furnishes the Philadelphis In
quirer long account of his captivity and of
the sufferings of our soldiers who fall into
their clutch. The facts he relates are heart
rending. They illustrate the savage brutali-
ty engendered by the spirit of slavery. Hav-
ing ended his report of cruelties inflicted up
on white soldiers, he adds -" There are al
so about one hundred free negroes of the
North, officers servants from the army and
navy. They are used at the present about
the prisons, or upon the Notifications around
Richmond. One Of the many nights spent
in Libby is deeply engrsven upon my mind.
A free negro of Philadelphia, captured in
the navy, nearly white, received 325 lashes
in room Immediately beneath us, his loud
cries and pleadings penetrating every part
Of the building as blow followed blow. He
was then wrapped in a blanket saturated
with salt water, and cast into one of the
dungeons for month or more. Such scenes
and cries were frequent Those of our num-
Der who entered there as advocates of sls-
very, or at least sympathizers, are such no
more"

ly, yet with an evident desire to improve his

were left unspoken. To me he had once
given his confidence, and he could not easily
do this. His was nature that shrank in

He has passed through fire. wife,
Knowing good and i'll.
He has tried our hearts for many year-not
broken them; for he
Is still the little stainless one that sits upon your
knee.
One did willful wrong, wife,
Bringing us TO shame,
Darkened all the farm, wife,
Blotted our good name;
And when our hearts were big with grief, he sail
ed across the sea;
But still we keep the little son that sits upon
your knee.
One was rash and dark, wife.
Would have say for say;
Furious when we child. wife.
He went his willful way;
His voice in sinful rage was loud within the farm
Remained the growing little one who sat upon
your knee.
One may fall in fight, wife
Is he not our son !:
Pray with all heart, wife,
For the wayward one;
Pray for the dark, rough soldier, who fhgts

Because you love the little one who smiles upon
your knee.
One in sinful fight. wife.

Cannot die at all.
