! How to Discover the Newly Married. J

4 more thsn usual number Of wedding tourists
are noticed by travellers and conductors ON TINS
different railroads a-'ai - sa
of course, it il mot on account of being
ashamed of each other that they try to disguise
their situation, but simply to avoid being crltlci
sed and remarked upon By profane strangers-
Thus they lay the fond JUNCTION TO their sous
that they are travelling in cog. But, good grar
cious, how badly fooled they are. lt u one q
the easiest things in the world 20 the careful eye
to tell precisely how many days, or even houIs
they have been ''spGced.p They can sometimes
be detected by the great pains they take TO ap-
near either like old married people or cousins,
as they promenade the deck Of steamer, or SIT
so demurely in the cars. In many cases tner
dress, in part exposes them. 4 It's SO appropos
20 the occasion beng neat, symmetrical and bran
new. In cases where the parties have good taste,
there is no guadiness about their attire. An
glitter and display are thrown aside, and the
city belle appears like more Quakeress In her
simple travelling dress of drab or mouse color.
Sometimes the youthful culprits engage in
PLAYING at lovers or effect Irritation, but 1t Is
always stupendous failure. Their eyes oetray
too much happiness for wit and repartee; there
is such peculiar softness and tenderness IN
their confidential whispers, and sucha pride In
the possession of each other, that none OF them
| are decelVeu. IL ~ behciahy en"s
groom makes the discovery FIRST, and throws
his arm cerelessly around the shoulders OF his
wife, as much as to say, defantly to the enyious,
| ssWhos afraid Who knows but that we have
been married many years 7" Not knowf
The guilty slyness in the way that arm steals
around, first on the top of the seat back and then
gradually closer, while the bride evinces silent
pleasure as she acquiesces in very unperceiving
way. Indeed, it is she who "lets the cat out OF
the bag" most quickly. The narrow guage seats
are preferable to the broad guage, and if you sit
on the seat back of them you win observe at frst
thai the lady's shoulders are not even-they In
cline Just little to her partner. After traye-
ling in this position few hours, her neck get,
as timber as a washed paper collar and her head
gravitates to the broad shoulders of her husband
and there it nestles innocently and confdingiy
in the repose of honest, Pare and truthful love
At times in spite of all precautions, tress OF
two of her golden locks will get loose and droi
, on her shoulder. But it almost seems that
there is order and neatness in their very disorder
| and abandon. .t .-g.lf -.e... :,
| So they go, fapcying themselves lost in the
t crowd-unnoticed unknown, with their secre'
) locked up in their own, @palpitating bosoms

Hoes-During the past week we have noticed
a large increase 10 the number of hogs being
driven Southwark for market. They are gener-
ally of good size and in very 6ne condition. IL
is strongevidence of the prosperity OF our neigh
bors of East Tennessee that they can contribute
SO largely to the less fortunate South. when
cotton, however, is selling at nearly nothinga
pound, we don't see how our South- Carolina
friends can manage to raise the equivalent In
greenbacks for these fine porkers. One OF the
Secrets Of the easy Independence of the great
West lies in the fact that it always raises its own
shog and hominy," and our Southern States,
would, it seems to us, do well TO try and follow
the example.--Aahviue Pioneer. - slJ :. %

The Clock OF Life.

A father having taught his son how
to tell the hour by the clock, said to
bin: There is another clock-tht
clock of life; | mean," said he, "the
beating of your pulse; for it may
often remind you of the value of time
and the necessity of turning it to good
account. Time is worth more than
the finest gold.'
MyPulso is the clock of my life;
Il shows how the minutes are flying:
Itmarks the departure Of time,
And it tells me how fast | am dying
He who lives a day without doing
rood, loses a day; and he who makes
another happy, is sure to be all the
happier for it himself.
Place your fingers on your pulse, as
il beats remember every beat makes
one less in your life.
You may think it will be long time
before it will stop beating, but it may
stop very suddenly. If God don't
keep it wound up, the clock would stop
ST any moment. Very little disturb
mce of the running works of the
clock would stop it. So a cold or fe-
yer or fall, or a blow, or ten thOus-
and incidents that might happen,
would stop the beating of your heart
nl pulse. We ought to observe daily,
and try to improve the time while it
passes. We will soon be in eternity,
where they will no longer reckon by
hours and minutes, or the beating of
our pulses.
How long has your clock been run
Hng: You count it by years and
months, but it runs it round by min
.utes, and even seconds. Each tick tells
.oi a change, and announces to you
that so much more Of life is gone, and
that You are so much nearer eternity.
We note the hours of the clock dai-
y to make our arrangements for it's
duties. Men of business would be
plnctuaL They would not for any
consideration, be too late to meet an
engagement with Il banker or a mer-
chant But, ah they keep no en-
gagement with God, their Maker and
Judge God has the hour fixed when
.ney are to meet him, and when it
comes he will not wait one moment for
amy engagement they may have. He
las long before and oftentimes called
upon them to measure their days, to
set ready for their account. At the
leh OF the clock, the summons will be,
tive an account of thy stewardship"
hat have you done with what the
Lord has entrusted to you?
bishop Ken wisely sets forth in one
oI ms hymns the spirit which leads us
20 Improvement Of life:
Awake my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run:
Shake off dull sloth, and ioyful rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
