A Russian Wedding Feast.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, who has been trav-
cling through the rural districts of
Russia, writes:
| had the good fortune to attend
a wedding feast of a peasant. The
marriage had been performed on
the Sunday, but the great celebra-
ton had for some reason, been de-
ferred till the feast of our Lady
Kazau, which was on Tuesday. I
was taking a walk through the large
village, when l heard, in one of the
houses, loud laughing and talking,
and all indications of jolly time.
AS l passed, some children came
out to look at me, and asked me to
come in, as his daughter had been
married. I was very glad to accept
the invitation, and found. the hut
full of men, women and children
many drunk and all noisy The
girls were all in holiday dress, with
their variegated stuff petticoats, and
their necklaces of glass beads of
different colors. The men were
in long caftans Of gray wooden cloth.
The bride was about eighteen, and
rather pretty, and her husband
nineteen. During serfdom the peas
ants were habituated TO marry al
the earliest possible age-the boys
usually at fourteen to girls several
years older. Ofcourse 1 was oblig
ed to drink glass of brandy to the
health of the young couple, and, OF
course, having learned the custom
that morning, 1 said gorto, or bit
ter, on which the bride and groom
kissed in very maudlin, manner.
in order to make the brandy and
their life sweeter Fortunately the
glass was small, as the brandy was
strong, and the peasants were not
content until 1 had finished it. ]
was then presented with a salver
containing candies and towels, the
ends of which were embroidered
with curious lace made by the
peasants. In return to this gift ]
had to give rouble. This is the
way in which the young couple
manage to get together a little to
begin life with Whenever a we'd
ding takes place, the welded pair
always present themselves at their
masters or employers house with
some wine or brandy, and a supply
of handkerchiefs or towels, in order
to be congratulated. If there is q
large party at the house they will
receive nice little sum. 1 had no
special desire to taste any Of the
food, the remnants of which stood
on the table in large wooden bowls
with about dozen wooden spoons
in each bowl. | amused myseli
with looking and listening till my
hosts became too demonstratively J
affectionate, when I was glad te
withdraw.

The decline in the price Of wool
and the prevalence of foot-rot
among sheep has caused something
of panic among wool growers in this
and other States. Farmers are re-
ducing their stock rapidly, slaugh-
tering the sheep and selling the pelts
and meat, A writer in the Ohio
Farmer estimates that within two
months past as many as forty thous-
and sheep have been slaughtered in
Knox County alone, and that 8
proportionate reduction has taken
place in the counties of Licking
Morrow and Richland.
If this policy has been generally
adopted in woolgrowine
districts, the yield of wool the com,
ing year will be greatly diminished
and reaction in prices must inev-
itab.y follow. The farmers who
hold overtheir flo cks will realize the
benefit in a return to profitable
rates of production. 1t may require
a little more nerve to do so, but
those who have it, will come out
with handsome net result to show
for it.-Cin. Com.

A Farmer Mistakes His Wife for
a Burglar and Shoots Her.

On Saturday night last farmer
named James Moore, residing on
the Western road, six miles below
this city, accidentally shot his wife,
inficting a very severe wound. Mr..
Moore is very well to do farmer,
and at times has had considerable
money at his house. This fact was
generally known, and on several
occasions attempts were made by
burglars to enter the premises. The
attempts were all frustrated, and
Mr.. Moore was generally on his
guard, and prepared to receive un-
seasonable visitors.
On Saturday night, about IL
O'Clock, while a heavy storm was
raging: Mr.. Moore heard somebody
at the front door. He left his bed,
armed with revolver and started
for the main hall. AS he reached
it, he heard the intruders leaving
the premises, and at once started
back to his bedroom In the mean
time his wife had left the bed and
w do oGduiiHS tsV tilC WihuOH w lOOAihS
out for the thieves. Her husband
supposed that she was still in bed,
and seeing human form at the
window, concluded at once that il
was burglar about to enter the
window, and, without challenging,
drew his revolver and fired. A
scream from his wife soon brought
him the knowledge that he had shot
her.
The revolver was large 'snavy"
and carried heavy ball. The ball
struck the woman on the right
shoulder and lodged in the body
A messenger was at once sent and
D. Heddens, of this city, was soon
on hand He dressed the wound
and did all in his power to ease the
pain consequent thereupoE. The
wound is a very dangerous one, but
the attendant physician is satisfied
that the lady will recover. MIR.
Moore is nigh frantic with grief at
his sad mistake.-St. Joseph Ho.

Graves of Humboldt and Mean
der.

Eight miles from Berlin is Tegel, a
quiet place in the forest, with only a
modern castle and its appendages. From
the castle, by a winding footpath,at first
through an over-arching jungle of Ii
lacs, and then through native wood
he is unexpectedly brought to a little
dell, with an Enclosure of grave covered
with ivy, One of the sleepers in this
quiet place is Frederick Henry AleXan-
der Won Humboldt, who was born in
1869, and died at theage of ninety years.
At the head of the inclosure is neat
monument of red granite, surmounted
by beautiful figure of ''Hope"i in white
marble. Long arms of oak, reaching
out horizontally toward the sleeper,
some of them more than fifty feet long,
and evergreen with the moss of many
years, give to the secluded spot a vener
able surrounding. The April breeze
whispering through the boughs ofspruce
and cedar, told the visitor to speak low
and walk softly, and my feelings were
in good mood readily to hear and heed
the gentle monitor.
In one of the church cemeteries, not
half a mile from my lodgings in Berlin,
in reti. ed corner, are the remains of
Augustus Neander, the eminent church
historian. A plain head stone has
sculptured on it side-view of his at
tractive face. Under the work of the
sculptor is this inscription: "a sister
to an unforgotten brother
Prof Tholuck, speaking to me yester-
day of his lovely traits and great excel
lence, said: ''If it were the custom to
have saints, Neander would surely be
canoniZed."
| love often to step in,and take fresh
look at the serene face of Neander.-
Not old, but ripe, he died at sixty-one
and evidently worthy of the laurel in
his department of lite's work.-Ihe Ad-

Immortality of the Beautiful.

There is nothlng-no nothing-beau-
tiful and good that dies and is forgot
ten. An infant.a prattling child, dy ing
in its cradle, will live again in the bet
ter thoughts of these who loved it, and
play its part though its body be burn
ed to ashes or downed in the deepest
sea. There is not an angel added to
the hosts of heaven but does its blessed
work on earth in those who loved it
here. Dead! Oh, if the good deeds ol
human creatures could be traced to their
source, how beautiful would even death
appear!-for how much charity, mercy
and purified affection would be seen to
have their growth in dusty graves

S1NG1NG.-Singing is great ''institu-
ton" 1t oils the wheels of care, sup
plies the place of sunshine. A man who
sings has a good heart under his shirt
front. Such 4 man not only works more
willingly, but he works more constant
ly. A singing cobbler will earn as
much money again as one who gives
way to low spirits and indigestion.-
Avaricious men never sing. The man
who attacks singing throws stone at
the head of hilarity, and would, if he
could, rob June of its roses and August
of its meadow larks. Singing promotes
health, strengthen the voice, the organs
of the throat and lungs, and prevents OF
cures sconsumption. Singing is an ex-
cellent agent for promoting mental
hygiene.-H raid of Health.

Terrible Story of Murder.
Robbery and Outrage.

ST. LOUIS, December 14.-The
Kansas City Times gives an account
of a horrible affair which recently
occurred IN Jasper county. Missouri,
in substance as follows Mr.. Turner
of Cloy county, Mo, purchased a
lot of cattle some months ago of
Colonel j. c. Mccoy ofDallas, Tex
as, the cattle to be paid for at a
point called Baxton's Springs. Colo
mel Mccoy sent his nephew, quite a
young man, with the cattle to re-
ceive his portion of the money, about
81, 800, aud the other parties also
sent agents. After receiving pay
for the cattle young Mccoy, a man
named Joseph, and three others of
the party, startd back to Texas, and
while encamped at Buckhar's prairie,
Jasper county, were fred upon by
five men, and two of the party killed
and one mortally wouded. Mccoy
and one other man escaped, and went
to farmhouse near by. Soon af-
ter arriving there the men who had
done the shooting, accompanied by
three others, appeared and demand
led McCoy's money, which was given
up, and they then placed him and
his conrad in school house and
kept them guarded until the night
of the second day after, when they
were taken out by the party, now in
creased to fifteen or twenty men, for
the ostensible purpose of burying
the dead, bnt after proceeding some
distance they robbed McCoy's com
panion of sixty-five dollars and then
began firing at him. He broke away,
however, and escaped. They shot
Mccoy in several places and left
him for dead. He was not killed,
however, and was found the next
morning and taken to the honse OF
a settler and cared fot, but there is
little hope of his recovery. The
parties engaged in this atrocious
affair are said to be well known resi-
dents of the immediate vicinity. 1t
is also stated, but the report is doubt
ed, that the murderels, failing to
dispatch the witnesses of their first
assassination, deposited the money
taken from Mccoy with the post
master at Baxton's Springs. 1t is
further stated that when party went
to bury the three murdered men
they fonnd considerable money up
on their peos ons, and got into a row
about a division Of the spoils, but
it was finally settled by giving the
doctor who had attended Mccoy
the lions share. -.

The Climbing Boys Soliloquy,
DY JAMES MONTGOMERY.

DY JAMES MONTGOMERY.
Who loves the climbing boy?-who cares
If well Or ill be2 5
Is there a living soul that shares
A thought or wish with me?
Pve had no parents since my birth,
Brothers and sisters none; .
All what to me is all this earth,
Where | am only one? .4.
l wake and see the morning shine,
And all around me gay;
But nothing b hold is mine,
No, not the light Of day
mol not the very breath draw
These limbs are not my own;
A master calls me his by law:
My griefs are mine alone:
All these they could not make him feel
Would they themselves had felt,
Who bourd me to that man of steel,
Whom mercy cannot melt.
Yet not for wealth or ease I sigh,
All are not rich and great;
Many may be as poor as L,
But none so desolate.
For all know have kin and kind,
Some home, some hope, some joy;
But these must net look to find
Who knows the climbing boy?
The world has not place of rest
For outcaSt SO forlOrn;
Twas all bespoken, all poSSeSt,
LCng before Was born.
Affection, too life's sweetest cup,
Goes round from hand to hand;
But am never ask'd to sup
Out of the ring stand
If kindness beats within my heart,
What heart will beat again?
/ coax the dogs. they snarl and start;
Brutes are as bad as men.
The beggar's child may rise above
The mi, cry of his lot;
The gypsy may be loved, and love;
But but l must not.
Hard fare, cold lodgings, cruel toll,
Youth, health, a d strength, consume;
What tree could thrive in such a soil?
What flower so scathed could bloom?
Should outgrow this crippling work,
How shall my bread be sought?
Must | to other lads turn Turk.
And teach what L am taught?
o, might roam with tiocks and herds
In fellow. hip along
o, were one among the birds,
All wing, and life and song!
Free with the fishes might dwell,
Down in tie quiet sea
The snail in his cob-castle shell
The snail's king to me!
For out he glides in April showers,
Lies snug when storms prevail;
He feeds on fruit, he sleeps on flowers
l wish l was Il snail.
No. never; do the worst they can,
l may be happy still;
For was porn to be a man,
And if live l will.
