A Bachelor on Sleighing.

Things matrimonial are sour grapes to
old bachelordom ; sleighing is matrimoni-
al kind Of thing; at least a good deal of
matrimony has always followed closely on
the heels of good deal of sleighing. An
old driedup, shrivled up, hard up old chap
whose heart never experienced the divine
affatus that comes with love, thus talks OF
sleighing:
IF you meet couple, one of whom is a
female and the other amt, and the one that
amt is trying to make figure SIS on the snow
with whip, and squirting tobacco juice
into the circles, while the woman looks
straight ahead or leans little t'other way,
it may be safely put down as man and
wife of some standing If two youthful
heads are bent down over some pretended
curiosity on the robe, while the horse has
the getting along left wholly to his discre-
ton, this indicates the first symptoms of q
the heart and generally of the brain
When you meet dashing pair, with o
team that is equally on the dash, ribbons
twisted all around the drivers arms, with a
very long whip in the socket, they may be
set down as somebody else's wife taking an
airing with somebody else's husband.
When you see blooming young widow
smuggling up to beaver coat, like sick
kitten to hot brick, this means wedding
that's if the widow can only have her
way about it. And so on.

A sedate-looking old gentleman, who sat

TWICE BETRoTHED AND TWICE
JTLTED.

Several years ago young lady in Taze-
well county was wooed by young man.
He obtained her consent and the consent
| of the old folks. but three days before the
wedding she took freak into her head and
went off and married another man. The
young man was heart broken, and packed
up his effects and to New York city There
he hid his grief, buried himself in business,
and engaged in speculations, was success
full and became wealthy. A younger sister
of the girl that Tilted him, moved by SYM
pathy, commenced correspondence with
him to endeavor to mitigate his sorrow. The
correspondence became interesting. The
young girl grew up, and as years rolled on
ipened into great beauty. The sight of
her photograph awakened in the young
mans bosom the love that he had sup
posed crushed forever, he proposed to her
and was accepted. Her father who was a
widower and was anxious to get married
himself as soon as his caughter was out of
the way, so he urged the match forward
The means of the lover now admitted a
brilliant wedding, and preparations We're
made for it. They were to be married last
Wednesday in style, and depart immediate
ly for New York city.
A few days ago the expectant bride re-
ceived a letter from her betrothed, stating
that he had entered into a speculation
which would keep him in the city, SO that
he could not possibly be with her at the
time appointed, and asking her to delay
the ceremony for day or two. He also
referred to the time when he expected to be
united to her sister. Provoked to think
that he still remembered his former love,
the young lady wrote to him in passion,
and setting down at the same time wrote to
q cousin of hers, farmer in Iowa, who
had long loved her, telling him that she
had brol her engagement, relating the
circumstances to him, and ended by saying
that she was already to be married, and if
he would come and be there at the time
set for her wedding she would marry him.
He complied. Her betrothed in New !
York, astonished to receive her letter, clos
ed up his business as best he could, and
came to Tazewell county by the next train.
He reached the little village where she liv-
ed, and was fastening up to the house to
fulfil his engagement when he was met by
some of his friends, and told that his in
tended bride had just been married to
another man. He tainted away on the spot
and was taken up to the hotel. When she
was told of it she was overwhelmed with re-
morse :: but it was then too late she was
legally married to her cousin. The New
Yorker, twice Tilted and heart-broken, left
for his home without seeing her, and she
passed through this city yesterday, on her
way to an Iowa farm, looking very detected,
and anything but bride.-Peoria Tran.

Do you know the story well,

Why the angels sing for JOY

Eyes, We know the story well;
Listen now and hear US tell,
Every girl and every boy,
Why the angels sing for JOY
On the Christmas morning.
shepherds sat upon the ground,
Fleecy flocks were scattered round,
When the brightness filed the sky,
And song was heard on high
On the Christmas morning.
"Joy and peace" the angels sang;
For the pleasant echoes rang;
"Peace on earth, to men good Will"
Hark ! the angels sing it still
on Christmas morning.
"For little babe that day,
Christ, the Lord of Angels lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
This the wondering angels see
On a Christmas morning.
"Let US sing the angels song,
And the pleasant song prolong;
This fair Babe of Bethlehem
Children love and bless him
On the Christmas morning.
"Peace" our little hearts shall fill;
"Peace on earth, to men good Will"
Hear us sing the angels song,
And the pleasant notes prolong
On the Christmas morning"

ADVICE WORTH KNOWING. in
one of his tales, gives the following advice
to bride In the first solitary hour after
the ceremony, take the bridegroom and
demand a solemn VOW of him and give him
a vow in return Promise each other sa-
credly, never, nor in jest, to wrangle with
other-never to brandy words or to in
dulge in the least ill-humor Never-I say
never. Wranglng in jest, and putting on
an air of ill-humor merely to tease, be-
comes earnest by practice. Mark that !!
Next promise to each other, sincerely and
solemnly, never to keep a secret from each
other, under whatever pretext, and what
ever excuse it might be. You must con-
tlnually and every moment see clearly into
each others bosom. Even when one of
you has committed fault, wait not an in
stant, but confess it, Let it cost tears,
but confess it. And as you keep secret no.
thing from each other, so on the contrary,
preserve the privacy of your house, mar
rage state and heart from father, mother,
sister, brother, aunt and all the world -
You two, with Gods help, build your own
quiet world. Every third or fourth one
you draw into it with yoC, will form par
ty, and stand between you two. That
should never be. Promise this to each
other. Remember the VOW at each temp
tation. You will find your account in it.
Your souls will grow, as it were, to each
and at last will become as one. Ah, if
many pair had, on their wedding day,
known this secret, how many marriage
were happier than, alas, they are!
