They are guilty of falsenood who say
they are not conscious of the existence
ola God. Trey say this to you, but not
to themselves. They profess it in the
daytime, bat not at night. The con-
sciousness Of Supreme Being is deep
rooted in their hearts, and only with their
very hearts can it be eradicated.

A REMARKABLE MARRIAGE.-The Louis-
vile Courier vouches for the truth of the fol-
lowing:
One of the most remarkable marriages
ever recorded came off in this city a few days
since, though at the time the bans were pub
lished probably there were not more than
two persons in the world, and the bridegroom
not one of them, who knew its peculiar fea
lures. The facts are given only because of
their extraordinary character, and we sup
press all names, dates and incidents cacu-
lated to point out the parties concerned
Both bride and bridegroom were residents
of this city the former girl of seventeen,
and the latter young mechanic with very
good prospects for the future, and some little
cash in the bank. The wedding was celebrat-
ed in the usual manner, and the young couple
started for Northern city on their honey
moon trip. They were not long gone, how
ever, for at the end of two DAYS they were
back at Louisville, and the young husband,
no had hitherto been noted for his temperate
habits, took to drinking, and in day or two
afterward suddenly disappeared. Rumor
said he had gone to California, but at any
rate he left his wife with her friends here
After returning from indianapolis he made
a strange statement to an intimate friend, in
which he alleged that his wife, though to all
appearance young girl, was of neither sex,
and that she was to him most incompre-
hensDle being, with whom he never could
live happily. He seemed greatly troubled,
and asked advice as t. what course he ought
to pursue under the circumstances The
next heard of him by his friends, he had
left the city
The deserted bride seems to be entirely un-
conscious of being in any way different from
any other human being, and could never have
experienced the passions Of love, though the
husband carried on his suit year. She looks
to be beautiful young girl. though not very
well developed and there is nothing mascu-
line or unusual in her features. Her parents,
it is said, kept her very close at home, and
in her school days she was not allowed to
mingle with her schoolmates. her teachers
having received particular instructions before
she entered the schools which she attended.
The mother is thought to have been the only
person acquainted with her peculiarites up
to the time of her marriage.

CLING CLOSE TO THE Rock. The Pittsburg
Commercial, of Oct, 10Th. says: A long train
of cars, fourteen or fifteen, were recently pass
ing over Allegheny mountains on the way
eastward. They were crowded with passen-
gers. As the iron horse snorted and rushed
on. they began to descend, and needed no
power but the invisible power of gravitation
to send them down with terrible swiftness.-
just as the passengers began to realize their
situation, they came to..a short curve cut out of
the solid rock, wall of rock living on each
side. Suddenly the steam whistle screamed,
as if in agony. Put on the .brakes-put
on the brakes !" but with no apparent slack
ening of the cars. Every window few open
and every head that could be was thrust out
to see what the danger was, and every one
rose up in their places fearing sudden de-
struction. What was the trouble?
just as the engine began to turn in the
curve the engineer little girl and her
baby brother playing on the track. In
moment the cars would be upon them. The
and every one looking over could see them,
close to the track, in the upright rock was
little niche, and as the cars came laundering
by the passengers holding their breath, heard
the clear voice of the little sister on the other
side of the cars ring out, "Cling close to the
rock, Johnny, cling close to the rockr' And
the little creature snuggled 10, and put his
head as close to the corner of the rock as
possible, while the heavy cars whirled past
him. And many were the moist ewes that
gazed, and silent thanksgiving went up to
heaven

THE Pie Boy WHO BECAME PRINCE.-The
first Prince Menschikoff was a pie boy at
Moscow, and was delivering things at a
nobleman's kitchen one day when Gar Peter
the Great was expected to dine at the house.
While waiting about, he overheard the noble
man give special direction for the prepara-
ton of a favorite dish of the Cars, and af.
terward while the cook was absent, the boy
saw him place something in a dish which he
believed to be poison. As soon as Menschi-
koff saw the Gar in the street he cried out
his rolls more loudly than usual, and even
began to sing and approach the Car to make
himself seen. Peter called to him and asked
him some questions, to which he answered so
happily that the Prince said, 81 will keen
thee in my service'' Menschikoff acccepted
the offer with joy. At dinner time, without
orders, he entered the banquet hall. and
stood behind Peter. When the dish appeared.
he bent down and whispered not to touch
it," Peter got up, and with smiling face,
made pretense to take the boy into an ad-
joining apartment, when Menschikoff ex.
planned his suspicion. Upon the Car retur-
ming to the table, the Boyard again offered
the dish, and Peter asked him to sit by his
side and partake with him. The nobleman
colored, and said it became not subject to
cat the same the Emperor, who, seeing
his embarrassment. took the plate and offered
it to dog. who swallowed all its contents.
But in few moments afterward it began to
run and howl, then staggerd, fell and soon
expired. The Boyard was secured. but next
morning was found dead in his bed. Men
schikoff had not to sell rolls any longer the
first step to his rapid fortune was made. and
his descendants are most powerful family
in Russia to this day.
