A WOODEN WEDDING IN PHIADEL-

to presents, and such a conglomeration
of wooden ware we have seldom seem
Wood held carnival. There was every
thing, from a cedar fan Of the most ex-
quisite workmanship down to an i'm
mense ''rolling pin" We saw some very
pretty glove boxes, carved salad forks
and spoons, all kinds of toilette boxes,
chalets, brackets, paper knives and even
bracelets and earrings Of wood. The
most curious thing was bracelet made
of wood of different colors, having a
head carved in every color, and set in
gold, to initiate leaves. The deception
was so perfect as not to be perceptibie
except on very close inspection. We
have never seen anything Of the kind be
fore, and it was certainly very pretty and
unique. There were also some exquis-
itely carved ear rings and pins of wood,
made in the latest fashion. These arti-
cles. we were told, were made in Wash
ington, by wounded Confederate sol
dier, who supported himself in this way
and is acumulating money very rapidly
Dancing continued until dawn, when the
company departed

How TO CHOOSE WIYE-s.A place

The promise vas fulfilled; she became

The WONDERS OF Seeds there upon
earth a machine, is there a palace, is
there even a city, which contains so
much that is wonderful As is inclosed in
single little seed-one grain of corn,
one little brown apple seed, one small
seed of tree, picked up, perhaps. by
sparrow for her little ores, the smallest
of o poppy or blue bell. or even one of
the seeds that are so small that they float
about in the air invisible to our eyes
Ah! there is world of marvel and
brilliant beauties hidden in each Of these
tiny seeds.
About hundred and fifty years ago,
the celebrated LinnRus, who has been
called 'sthe father of botany" reckoned
about 5000 different kinds of plants !;
and he then thought that the whole num-
Der existing could not much exceed lO,-
O00 But q hundred years after him, NJ.
de CandoAe of Geneva, described about
40 900 kinds of plants, and he supposed
it possible that the number might even
amount to 100000
Well, have these 100000 kinds Of
plants ever failed to bear the right kind
of seeds Have they ever deceived us
Has seed of wheat ever yielded barley,
or the seed of poppy grown up into q
sunfiower2 Has sycamore tree ever
sprung from an acorn, or a beech tree
from q chestnut ? A little bird may
carry away the small seed of a sycamore
in its beak to feed its nestlings, and on
the way may drop it on the ground The
tiny seed may spring up and grow where
it fell unnoticed, and sixty years after it
may become magnificent tree, under
which the fiocks of the valleys and their
shepherds may rest in the shade Ru-

Beauty Of Irish Women.

Mons Felip Belly, one Of the writer's
Of the Constitutionelle, having made q
tour through ireland last summer, pro
nounces the following eulogium upon
the women Of the country: "The most
remarkable element, the richest, and GER
tainfy the most full OF life, Of this land
so life full, is the population itself No
European race, that of the Caucasus ex-
eepted, can compete with it in beauty.
The Irish blood is of purity and dis
tinetion, especially among the females,
which strikes all strangers with astonish-
ment. The transparent whiteness OF the
skin, the absorbing attraction, which, in
France, is but the attribute of one woman
in thousand, is here the general type.
The daughter of the poor man as we'll as
the fine lady, possesses an opal milky
tint, the arms OF statue, foot and hand
of Duchess, and the bearing of Queen.
In the most wretcled streets Of the olden
quarters of Dublin, the most ideal tint
ings of the pencil would grow pale be.
fore the beauty of the children: and in
the compact crowd which each day oc.
. cupies the footpath of Merrion square,
there is certainly the most magnificent
collection Of human beings it is possible
to meet. Blondes with black eyes, and
brunettes with blue, are by no means
rare. The race is as strong as it is hand
some, as vigorous as it is charming
the girls of Connemara, with their queen
iy shoulders and eyes of fire, would put
to shame, at this day, those daughters OF
the East from whom they are said to
! have descended"

A Glass Of Cold Water.

Little Annie lay in bed, near the win
dow. The deep dush Of fever was on
her cheeks. In the same room was her
brother Robert. busily engaged in ma
king ship. His poor sister could ill
bear the noise of the hammer; but he
worked on, as though he did not trouble
himself much about her. Was he not an
unkind boy?
DO, please, dear Robert, give me .
glass of water. my throat is so dry. and
my head aches SO very much,' said Anna,
in a gentle voice.
Again was the loud knocking Of the
hammer heard and once more Anna
begged for glass of water, when Rob
ert called out sharply
wait a minute, Anna; can't fetch it
yet
At last he poured out q glass, from .
jug which was warm with standing where
the sun shone upon it.
%, not that water, Robert; please
fetch me little fresh from the spring.
Don't plague me so, Anna; You see

good enough
Knock, knock, went the hammer
again.
80, my poor head = said the invalid,
softly, as she took the glass, drank .
little. and then lay back again on the
pillow.
That was the last time that Arna ask
ed Robert for proof of brotherly love.
The next day she died and as the little
coffin stood in the room ready to be car
ried to the grave, no one shed more bit
ter tears than the little boy who would
rather have his own selfish way than
