A Good Marriage Ceremony.

TIE following curiosi custom of
the HISTORIAN Christians is commended
to the serious attention of the young
gentlemen and young ladies of our
country, who propose to commit matri-
mony. After the marriage ceremony
has been performed the wedding party
is taken in wagons from the church to
the house of the bridegroom's father.
When the second wagon, in which the
bride is seated alone, reaches the gate,
opening into the yard in which the
house is situated, it is halted, and the
bridegroom's mother comes to meet it,
with baby and three suits of baby
clothes in her arms. She throws the
child and the clothes into the arms of
the bride, who is required to dress and
undress the baby three times in the
presence of her mother-in-law, who
watches every movement as only a
mother-in-law can watch Il daughter
in-law. If the newly-made bride does
not perform the operation to the salts
faction of her severe judge, she is con-
sidered unfit for her new position, the
wagon is turned around, and she is ta-
ken back home for further instruction /;
While the poor bridegroom is compel
led to live in single blessedness until
his wife is educated up to the proper
standard.

How DUTCH GAP GOT ITS NAME
The following is told by a Southern
correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle:
"An Englishman and Duhchman,so
the story runs, undertook, for wager,
to row their respective skiffs from
place seven miles below the gap to
point above it. The man who first ar
rived at the place Of destination was to
be considered the champion, and to re-
ceivc the stakes. Both started. The
Englishman pulled out vigorously,
while the Dutchman, with true Teutonic
impurtability, suffered his opponent to
go ahead without an apparent effort TO
keep up with him. When the English
man began to round the bluff, after
passing the gap, the Dutchman was
"hull down" and almost out of sight of
his antagonist, who was counting ON
"sure thing of it, When the Dutch
man reached the gap, he ran his skin
ON shore, raised ii on his shoulders, ,and
made his way with all possible despatch
across the few hundred feet of interven-
ing space. When the Englishman ar
rived at the point at which the race
was to terminate, what was his aston
ishmrnt to find his opponent in his
skin, calmly awaiting his appearance,
having relieved the weariness of his
stay by smoking, with Dutch leisure,
three or four pipes of tobacco. Whether
the Dutchman succeeded by his trick in
winning the wager is not known, but
he gave a name to the gap.

THE EMPTY CRApLE.-Thcrc is II
whole volume of poetry in the follow
ing little sketch, which appeared in II
late number of the Weekly, an excellent
literary journal edited by lady:
We met John on the stairs. He was
carrying an old cradle, to be slowed
away among what he terlned 'plundcr'
in the lumber room. One rocker was
gone, and the wicker work of the sides
broken it was an old willowy affair,
but yet we could not refrain from cast
ing sad look into its empty depths.
"Gone!' we said dreamily, 'all gone
What golden heads were once pillowcd
here, heads on which the curls grew
moist in sumber, and checks and lips
flushed to the hue of rose leaves. When
sleep broke, the silken fringed lids
opened heavily from the slumberous
eyes smiles fitted like sunbeams over
the face; the white fist was thrust into
the mouth, and when mama lifted The
muslin and peeped to see if the baby
was sleeping, cooling and growing wa,
heard. The little feet began 10 kick
out of pure delight, and kicked until
both of the tiny red shoes We're landed
at the foot of the cradle. Where are
those hands now? Some that were
embrowned by vigorous manhood are
sleeping ON battle-iieldS, some are
bleached with time and cares, and they
have grown sore and weary ON The
rough paths of life. Perhaps some lit
tie one, once tenderly rocked here, i
sleeping in the coffin. over ii grow
heartscase, and vigorous box and whit
candy-tuft, and the starry jasmine. Tn
bluebrd hutters its bright wing
through the willow boughs, and tn
cool wind whispers to the green leave
and grass blades ON the grave. Wha
of? Perhaps of its immortality. Slee
on little dreumless one. "Of such

THROUGH THE WORLD.


SOME hearts go hungerng through the world
And never find the love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled
To hide the pain they may not speak,
The eye may flash, the mouth may smile,
The voice In gladdest mnsic thrill,
And yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart be pining still.
These know their do ON, and walk their way
With level steps and steadfast eyes.
Nor strive with Fate, nor weep, nor pray
While sthers, not so sadly wise,
Are mocked by phantoms evermore,
And lured by seemipgs of delight,
Fair to their eyes, but at the core
Holding but bitter dust and blight.

| mark their sign on fadirg g cheeks;
l hear them breathe in smothered sighs,
And note the grief that never speaks;
For them no might redresses wrong,
No eye with pity is impearled
o, misconstrued aud suffering long,
o, hearts that hunger through the world
For YOU docs life's dull desert hold
No fountain shade, no date grove fair
No gush of waters clear and cold,
But sandy reaches wide and bare.
The foot may fall, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still ye make no weak complaint
And speak no word of grief or blame,
o, eager eyes which gaze afar!
o, arms which clasp the empty air!
Not all unmarked your sorrows are
Not all unptied your despair.
Smile, patient lips so proudly dumb
When lifes frail tent at last is furled
Your glorious recompense shall come,
o, hearts that hunger through the world!

saw you in this morning ?n

saw you i'll this morning ~
~ couldn't sir" said the boy.
"No! Why couldn't you?" said Bos-
well.
"Because my nanny took it from
me to boil the pudding in!"
The Doctor gathered up his herculean
frame, stood erect, touched the ceiling
with his wig, stared or squinted in
deed, looked any way but the right
way. At last, with mouth wide open
none of the smallest) and stomach
heaving, he withsomc difficulty recover
ed his breath, and, looking at Boswell
with dignitied contempt, he roared out
with the lungs of a stentor.
"Mr. Boswell, sir, leave off laughing,
and, under pain of my eternal displeas-
ure, never utter single syllable of this
abominable adventure to any soul !iv-
ing while you breathe"
And such, said mine host, you have
the positive fact from the simple mouth
of your humble servant.
