THE GRAND REFORM DEMoNsTRA-
TON IN LoNDoN.-The New York Her
aid has by special dispatch the follow
ing details of the great reform demon
stration at London on Monday, the
procession being composed of 2O, 600 per-
sons, and witnessed by ut least 200, 600:
a hundred mounted pioneers, drilled
as cavalry, headed the procession The
best order was maintained during the
march, and except in a few cases
of bonneting and throwing of
stones, no arrests We're made. The day
was bright and full of sunshine, and
was in striking contrast with the day
on which the queens procession to the
houses of parliament took place. All
London seemed to be out of doors.
Flags and banners were everywhere
displayed. The American, French and
cession, as was also a picture of the
yacht Henrietta. During the march
the band played yankee Doodle
'Marseillaise," tJohn Brown" and the
"Garibaldi Hymn" The Prince of
Wales and Prince Alfred observed the
display frompthe United States club,
but their presence elected no cheers
A superb ovation took place at the
American embassy. All the men in
the procession took of their hats as
they passed, and gave nine cheers.
The following mottoes, which were
literally displayed on the banners, in
dictate the sentiments of the people.
NO surrender" Liberty" ssfs0uaIi-
ty," Fraternity" MANHOOD SUIT
frage," "Serfdom is Infamous" sfThe
voice of the people cannot be opposed
with safety, " "Disobedience to tyrants
is duty to God" Taxation without
representation is tyranny" Liberty to
those who dare demand it." Crust
God, but keep your powder dry" The
procession terminated its march at Ag-
ricultural Hall, where an immense
meeting was held. Thirty thousand
people We're present. a letter was read
from John Stuart Mill, NJ. p, and the
o'Donoghue, Mr.. Potter and Mr., Tay-
Tor, all members of Parliament, made
speeches. Resolutions were passed de-
nouncing the Derby government and
demanding manhood suffrage.

READ AN HouR A DAY.-Thero was a
lad, who, at fourteen, was apprenticed to q
soap.boiler. One Of his resolutions was to
read an hour q day, or at that rate, and he
had an old silver watch, left him by his un-
Gle, which he timed his reading by. He
stayed seven years with his master, and said
when he was twenty one he knew as much
as the yonng squire did. Now let us see
how much time he had to read in, seven
years, at the rate of an hour each day. 1t
would be 2,555 hours, which at the rate Of
eight reading hours per day, would bo equal
to three hundred and ten days; equal to
forty-fve weeks; equal to twelve months,
nearly years reading. The time spent in
treasuring up useful knowledge would pile
up very large store. am sure it is worth
trying for. Try what you can. Begin now.
In after years you will look back upon the
task as the most pleasant and profitable you
ever performed.

An ILLINOIS WEDDING.
BY A MINISTER'S WIFE.

One fine day, eariyin winter, my husband
received summons to Burke's settlement
to unite a couple in the bonds of wcdlock. e.
1t was specially requested that his wife
should accompany him-that We should b.
expected to remain all night and participate
in the festivities. 1t was twenty miles to
the settlement and VIC reached the log
house of Mr.. Burke, the father of the ex.
pectant bride, about noon. A dozen tow
haired little children were at the door await
ing our arrival. They telcgraphed the news
instantly . ,..
Marin marm here's the preacher and
his woman I! They're nothing but folks
She's got a man hat on, and turkey wing
on the front of it; and his nose is exactly
like dad s-7crooked as COW horn squash J
Alas for Mr.. Morrison's aquiline nose, of
which he was, little vain. Sam 7 called
sh,ill female voice from the interior of the
cabin. Run and grab the old rooster, and
III clap him in til, pot. Sal, you quit that
cnu.li and sweep the floor. Kick that corn
dodger un,..,r the bed Bill. you wipe the
taller out of the cheer for the minister's
wife and be spry about it. Further remarks
were cut short by our entrance.
Mrs. Burke, in short calico gown, blue
pettcoat and bare feet, came forward wip-
ing her eyes on her apron. How dye do,
Elder? How dye do, marm? Must excuse
my head hain't had a chance to comb it
since last week. Work must be done you
know. Powerful sharp air, hain't it Shoe
there drive the turkey out Of the bread
trough. Sal, take the lady's things. Set
right up to the fire, marm. Hands cold ?
Well, just run EN- in Bills hair we keep
it long on purpose.
Bill presented his shaggy head, but de-
clined with an involuntary shudder. Land
if she amt actilly shiverin. Here marm,
take this corn dodger into your lap-its as
good as soap stone.' A dreadful squail
announced the execution of the rooster, and
shortly afterward he was pouncing about in
four quart pot, hung over the fire.
Sal returned to the churn, but the extra
ordinary visitors must have made her care
less, for she upset the concern; butter and
buttermilk went swimming over the floor
Grab the ladle, Bill!' cried Mrs. Burke,
and dip it up. Take keer thar and don't
put that snarl Of hair into it. Strange how
some folks, will be SO nasty. Dick, keep
your feet out of that buttermilk it won't
be fit tor the pigs when the buffers gather
cd. Drive that hen out quick, she's picked
up pound Of butter already. There, Sal,
do try to be little keerful. If you are 60
ing to be spliced tomorrow, you needn't go

AN AUTUMN JOY.
By GEORGE ARNOLD.

1t is fair autumnal day,
Tho maple stems gleam bare and gray,
The grain is bound in golden shcaves;
Atar hear the spcckled quails
Pipe shrilly mid the stubble dry,
And mutfled beats from busy fails
Within the barn near by.
The latest roses now are dead,
Their petals scattered far an lwide,
The sumach berries, richly red,
Bedeck the lane on either side;
A dreamy calm is in the air
A dreamy echo on the sea-
All. never was n day more fair
Than this, which blesses Inc!
I see the stacks of ripened corn
The ycllowed moses on the roof,
The diamond dew-drops Of the morn,
That spring with gems the SPIDERS roof;
An azure haze is hanging low
About the outline Of the hills.
And chanting sea-fowl southwark 70
From marshes flats and kills.
For many years, the autumn brought
"a S'ieiHll S'tuucsS w NY Null
1t sombred cen my lightest thought,
And on my gayest moments stole;
Twas sad, yet swect-a strange alloy
OF hope and sorrow interwined--
+ Is autumn brings me only JOY,
No shadow haunts my mind.
And why is this? The dead leaves fall
The blossoms wither as of old:
And winter comes, with snowy pail,
To wrap the earth so chill and cold
The sca-iowl, strung uthwart the sky,
Still chant their plaintive monotone
And why, when leaves and blossoms die.
Oh, ask me not-I mustnot tell;
! dare not all my heart disclose
\ fairy wove magic spell ....
Around me, when decayed the rose;
Two gifts did fading SIMMER bring
Two symbols of uniading bliss .
Upon my fingers glows ring,
Upon my lips-a kiss! ..

A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE The
Poughkeepsie Eagle tells story about a
clergyman in that city who was recently
aroused from his slumbers, n few moments
before midnight, by vigorous tapping at
the front window of his residence. Raising
the window sash, he inquired who was there.
a gruff voice replied in the broken dialect
of Yorkshireman, that he wanted the do.
mimic to come down to his house and marry
couple. The dominic wondered that he
should be called on such business, at such
late hour Of the night, and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. The Yorkshireman replied that
"a young couple had just arrived at his
clearinghouse and wanted to stay all night,
saying that they were going to be married in
the morning. ~. w
That was all well enough but the York.
shireman didn't have only ono spare bed,
and he didn't wish to turn the strangers out
Of doors and didn't wish to lose the price Of
their lodgings, he concluded that they had
better be married that night rather than
take any risk. The good natured dominic
proceeded to the house, and in the presence
of the household made the lovers one. At
the conclusion Of the ceremony the York.
shircmen stepped up to the reverend gen.
tlcman and placed FIVE dollar grecnback
in his hand, said: "There, dominic, if she
makes a good wife for her husband at the
end Of the year III give you five dollars
more" The dominic returned to his par
sonage, and the newly married couple were
allowed the spare ROOM,

the senior member Of the house, who drop.
ped down de'd while he was talking, brought
things to a standstll. The house was found
to be bankrupt, and large amount Of trust
money was swept away. Drinking, gamb-

DcatI, orAn InfdeI.

Richard GrecnweIl, residing at Seatord,
Del, committed suicide at that place on
Thursday, by throwing himself into the riv.
or. Greenwell was known as one Of the
men implicated in the forcible entrance into
the Jail Of that place, and the taking there.
from ono James Wilson, negro who was
arrested, imprisoned and awaiting trial for
the murder Of girl, and hanging him in
the rear of the Jail yard. After he was
hung, shot and throat cut, Grecnwell, who
was a butcher, cut and carved him as though
he were beef, and then roasted and burnt
the pieces to ashes. lie reserved the right
hand Of the negro and carried II home with
him.
But what change has taken place Since
then the fearful judgment of the Almight;
seems to have visited him on all occasions.
About year after this transaction he lost
his wife by the most agonizing of deaths
that Of burning Since the death Of his
wife Greenwell lost his right hand by the
cars passing over it. On several occasions
he came near losing his life by being thrown
from his carriage, two or three times being
taken up as dead Finally, on Thursday,
he remarked to some person that "God Al
mighty would not kill him, and he would 60
and drown himself" which he did. :.
He was an Englishmcn by birth, and was
said to have been desperate character be-
fore migrating to this country He was an
inidel- did not believe in God or in future
existence lie would stand up with an open
bible in his hand and curse the God that
made him, contending that blind chance
formed the world and fixed the planets in
their spheres. Awful, indeed, has been his
end, and fearful be the responsibility that
meets him in that unknown future.
