Married for Fun.

A few evenings since, a young me-
chanic of this city, of pleasing ad-
dress and with love of fun, in COM
pany of youths and maidens at party
in the neighborhood, bantered a
young damsel upon the mode and
tense, otherwise the manner and
form, of the marriage ceremony, and
in the course of his joke, which was
not by any means intended at first to
be practical, offered to submit to the
ordeal, 'just for fun." if she would
consent to act the part of bride in
the ceremony. She, full of spirit,
and with the determination to show
the laughing bevy of the boys and
girls about her that she was not one
to retire and hide herself in a coniu-
sion of bushes at the mentionof such
q subject, declared her readiness for
the operation. 1t needed but a word
or two of bantering and the express
ion of a decided belief on the part of
the company that both would recoil
at the undertaking, to fire the souls
of the young couple, and they forth
with proceededto a welEknown cler-
gyman and made known their errand.
The about-to- be. groom and the min
lister stepped out for few moments
conversation, in which the young lady
says she supposed the farce was ex-
planned, and in few moments they
were prom nounced man and wife. But
the end was not yet-the affair at first
talked over as q good Joke began to
excite serious approximations, and in.
quiries into the effect of the ceremony
revealed the fact that the parties
were, as Artenus Ward would say,
"a good deal too much married p
A pretty kettle of fish. The daugh-
ter of well known and highly respec-
table parents the wife of man she
never thought of loving-the joke of
amomenr and the thoughtless raillery
of q breath turned into q most seri
Gus matter and of a life long extent.
Legal advice sought from the highest
ability but confirmed the ceremony
and drew the cord closer. Despair,
chagrin and je ne sails quoi seized up
ou the young lady's family and
friends. The youth was appealed to.
He said that he didn't mean to do
any harm, and pleaded the school
boys defense-"the darned thing
had whistled itself.
A last resort was to the law for
divorce, and papers IN due form were
drawn up praying the courts to sever
the unpleasant bonds. This, signed
by "the nigh contracting parties"
is now in the hands of the Judge
and the interested ones are waiting
to know what his decision
may be. 1t is by no means certain
that decree of divorce can be grant
ed 'just for fun.

Taking a Dislike.

An ill-natured fellow quarreled
with his sweetheart on the day they
were to be married. After the cere-
mony had begun, he was asked:
ssDo you take this woman to be
your welded wife," etc.
He replied, "No!' .
:sWhat is the reason ?" asked the
minister. -
sI've taken 9 dislike to her, and
that's enough" was the surly reply
The parties retired-the bride in
tears-and, after much persuasion
the groom was induced to have the
marriage proceed. 1t was now the
lady's turn, and when the minister
asked the all-important question
'.No ~ said shes resolutely, .srve
taken q dislike to him"
The groom, admiring- her spunk,
made up the matter with her as soou
as possible, and a third time they
presented thems selves before the min
lister, who began the ceremony by
asking the usual questions, which
were satisfactorily answered this
time. But to the astonlshment OF
the party the minister continued:
"Well, I'm glad to hear that you
are willing to take each other for
husband and wife, for it's q good
thing to be of forgiving tempers.-
You can go row and get married
where you will-I will not tie the
knot, for ! have taken dislike 70
both of you"

This is at once made obvious shy ex.

microscope, when the starch granules
will be found1ying in great numbers
in a belt just under the skin, and de.
creasing toward the centre. They
are placed here for the nourishmenl
of the young spropt which springs
from the "eye," and which being like
beauty, .'only skin deep,n is required
to 60 on deeper for its food during
the terminating process. This starch
is, for all practical purposes, the en-.
tire nutriment which the potato con-
tains-the-e beng only two per cent
of gluten, while seventy five per cent
lis clear water. If it is worth while
to eat the potato at all, it is obviously
foolish to throw away the nutrimenl
and save only the water cells. .so
