MARRIAGE sHORN OF POETRY.-1he Rev.
d., a Methodist minister, st toned at Mead
vile some years ago, one evening received Il
note Informing him that couple living in the
suburbs OF the city desired to be united in the
bonds of matrimony, and requested his servi-
ces at O cock in the morning. Atthe prop
er time he went to the house designated. He
inquired Of young lady who was busy wash
ing dishes if there was a couple there who
wished to be married.
. | am the lady," said she, blushing.
John will be in moment.
The minister was surprised to see no prepa-
ratiOns, and stepped to the door to view the
surroundings Two men were hard at work
grinding scythes in the yard, and another, who
proved to be the john was tending a cow
and calf. The young lady came to the door
pretty soon and shouted:
John, John, hurry up; the preachers
here?'
John leaped the fence and rushed to the
house, the girl wiped her hands on her apron
and after joining hands, said they were ready
The minister proceeded, and had Just got
through questioning the young man, when
the old lady rushed into the room screaming:
John, John, you didn't turn the COW away
from the calf p
He let go his sweetheart's hand instantly,
and rushed into the barnyard, put the old COW
through the bars, and then returned to the
house, again took his position, when the re.
malnder OF the ceremony was performed. The
minister went on his way, John went to the
hay. field and she resumed dishwashing.-

Nicholas VAIN, though a regular Quaker
preacher, was great wag, and many are the
good things said by him, which are still current
in certain Philadelphia circles He was once
travelling on horseback in the interior of Penn
sylvania in company with two MethodistS
preachers. They discussed the points of diff
erence in their respective sects, until they ar
rived at the inn where they were to put up for
the night. At supper, Waln was seated be-
tween the two Methodsts, and before them was
ferred it to his plate, after which each shut his
ewes and said an audible grace before meat.
The Quaker availed himself of the opportuni-
ty to tran ,fer both of the trout to his own
plate, merely remlrking, when the others open
ed their eyes, Your religion teaches you to
pray ; but mine teaches me both to watch and
pray.

THE UTTERLY DIsENGAGED BACHELOR
The utterly disengaged bachelor is generally
under tve-and-twcnty, for we do not allude to
old bach, lors He dresses well, but not anx-
ously. 1t does not so much matter to him if
his gloves are not buttOned, or if the parting of
his back hair is not quite straight. His whole
manner is that of man who owns himself;
who has no one to think Of when he does aIy-
thing, or when he wears anything or says any
thing, He cOnsOrtS with gay fellows, who
smoke great deal, and he smokes a great deal
himself. He doesn't mind owning to having
been out late last night and being unable to
find place for his latch-key when he reached
home. He changes his boarding place frequent
ly, and is generally ahead of his salary. He
laughs at engaged fellows, and pities married
ones. He is off hand in his manner, and pays
great attention. in a jolly sort of way, to the
last new pretty girl. He patronizes the bur-
lesque opera, and goes alone with bouquets to
fling to the most fascinating performer Even
there he is tickle; and the sylph with black
hair who is his idol one night, is quite forgot
ten the next.

Anecdotes Of George Peabody.

In personal appearance Mr.. Peabody resem-
bled a professional, rather than a business man.
Mr.. Peabodys great interest in education
doubtless partially arose from the fact that he
was taken from school at the early age OF elev-
en- years, and was thus deprived of what in
that day was known as grammar school in
structiOn.
The first money Mr.. Peabody earned outside
of the small pttance he received as a clerk,
was for writing ballots for the Federal party in
NewburypOrt. This was before the day Of
printed votes.
When Mr.. Riggs invited Mr.. Peabody to be
partner, the latter said there was one insu-
perable objection, as he was only 19 years of
age. This was no objection in the mind of the
shrewd merchant, who wanted young and ac-
tive assistant.
Two gentlemen are living who were friends
of Mr. Peabody in bOyhood, and who willingly
paid his share of the cost Of sailing and fishing
parties, ten pins, ETC., during the war of 1872
l4-his excellent company being considered
more than an offset to his lack of funds.
Mr. Peabody did not bestow many gifts tC
relieve individual poverty or distress. He
thought that much of the money thus cOntri-
buted only tended TO increase the evil it sought
to alleviate. R
Mr.. Peabody was beautiful penman. hi,
point.
Mr.. Peabody was strongly opposed to fraut
in little matters. The conductor on an Englisl
railway once overcharged him a shilling TO
fare. He made complaint to the directors anC
had the man discharged. " Not, said he
"that could not afford to pay the shilling
but the man was cheating many travellers Il
whom the swindle would be oppressive.
When Mr.. Peabody first landed in Londoi
he lived vary frugaly, taking breakfast at hi
lodgings and dining at club house His per
sonal expenses for ten years did not averag
e600 per annum. ...,. ~
Mr. Peabody had very retentive memory
particularly in regard to names and places. Ill
would give the most minute particulars o
events that occurred between fifty and sixt
: years ago.
Mr.. Peabody first appeared in print as tn
champion of American credit in England, a

A POWERFUL MEDICINE-A man in Virgin
ia, seeing accounts in the papers about the won
derful cures effected by all the patent medi-
cines, concluded he would try his hand at the
business. He according mixed a compound
composed of equal parts of castor oil, worm
wood tansy, lue and assafotida. He admin.
listed his great remedy to a crazy man, who
insisted that he was troubled with worms 1t
acted like charm. After administering re-
peated doses of the compound he finally sue
ceeded in starting the patient to vomiting,
when the whole cause of disorder came to light.
He threw up ten fish worms, three lamprey ees,
one mud turtle, five lizards, two tree frogs, one
bull snake, section of worm fence, and tho
worm of a copper still containing sixteen coils.
He at once spoke of being better, and has
steadily improved ever since. 1t was called
Wizard OIL" and meets with ready sale
among crazy people. The above item is pub
lished to convince the people in Smyrna who
recently invested in this Oil that it is no
humbug.

THE N. Y. INDEPENDENT This celebrated
paper has just completed its tyear. Of the
original five proprietors three have Withdrawn
from the firm, leaving at a critical time the ex-
pensive burden of the journal to be borne by
the remaining two, Messrs. Bowen & McNa-
NEE, the members of silk house, who, in re-
ply TO the taunts against their outspOken news
paper opposition to the Fugitive Slave act,
procaiming it TO be no law for Christian man,
issued their memorable manifesto, 1--WE sell
our goods not our principles. BY a singular
Providence the paper which owed its cOntinu-
ance solely to the large fortune with which Mr..
Henry G. Bowen was able to buoy it up, was
afterwards, when that fortune failed its posses
sor able to repay to him from its own treasury
an income equal to the one he had lost.
The special features of the Independent are
three first, the variety of opinions to which
the columns give utterance, the pages being a
whole chorus of voices second the equal num-
ber ofmcn and women who write for its col
umns; and third, the absolute independence OF
the editorial department, the publisher never
interfering to dictate its pOlicy-sOmetimes
liking it, sometimes not liking it, but never
grumbling.
The Independent, after twenty-one years Of
struggles, sometimes gasping for vital breath
has at last achieved one of the most brilliant
successes in the history of journalism.

Mr.. Peabody leaves a sister, Mrs Daniels,
formerly Mrs. Russell, of Georgetown. He
had several nephews and nieces, to all of whom
he has been very generous.

The toast Mr.. Peabody sent to the Danvers
celebration in 1852 was

future generations"
Mr.. Peabody was a good talker at the table
few men were his equal. His idea of pleas
ant dinner party was where there was a great
deal Of talk, and he could take the lead in con-
versatiOn.
The favorite games of Mr. Peabody were
backgammon after dinner, and whist in the
evening.
About a quarter of century ago Mr. Pea
body was so much pleased with an American
lady visiting London that he offered his hand
and fortune, which were accepted. Learning
a short time afterward that she was already
engaged, fact of which she had kept him in
ignorance, he rebuked her lack of sincerity and
broke off the engagement.
Mr.. Peabody visited inc0gnitO the house:
erected by his munifcence for the poor o
London, to see if those in charge Of the chari
ty properly attended to the duties. He asked
the wife of the superintendent the name of hel
child, and was answered George Peabody.
This prompted present to the infant, which
the mother quickly interpreted, and annOunc
ed to her neighbors the presence of their dis

in a cab to be rid of their benedictions
Letters by the hundreds were daily received

claims of his family to an estate. Mr. Pea
body wrote in reply substantially this: "Tha
you should have written such letter, woul

it, would indeed surprise mine. -
Chief Justice Shaw paid Mr.. Peabody til
compliment of remarking that business docl
ment, written by him, was one of the cleare
and most comprehensive papers that had eve

The chill November day was done,
The working world home fanng;
The wind came roaring through the streets
And set the gasights faring;
And hopelessly and aimessy
The scared old leaves were flying;
When mingled with the soughng wind

And shiverinE the corner stood
A child of four
No cosk nor hat her small. soft arms,
And nd-blown curs to cover.
Her dimped face stained with tears;
Her round blue eyes over;
She cherished in her wee, cold hand,

And one hand round her treasure, while
She slipped in mine the other;

A LOUISVILLE ROMANCE.-The New Alba
ny Ledger says: Years and years ago
worthy young man Of foreign birth arrived III
the city of Louisville in search of employment.
He at length obtained situation as barkeeper
in a fashionable saloon. To this establishment
came bright and early every morning a little
girl with mint for sale. She always dressed IT,
Oily and carried a smiling face. The young
barkeeper took an interest in the child, and
upon Inquiry learned that she did not carry her
sunny face with her mint only, but also in her
own home, and in the humbeSt emplOyments.
Setting apart portion of his own earnings, he
sent her to a school, and she soon surpassed
most of her mates He then employed music
teachers for her, and she soon became a prof.
cient
Years rolled on, and fortune favored the
young barkeeper. He became the owner OF an
establishments of his own. The wealthiest men
in Louisville were his friends. The poor little
mint seller had now grown to woman estate,
and was as accomplished and virtuous as she
was beautiful. She in time became the wife
of the man who had early befriended her.
The man is now reckoued one of the wealthy
men of LOUISVILLE large owner of real estate
respected by all who know him for hi,
noble qualities, of which kindness Of heart is
the chief. We read of such events as these il
