Twice Married in a Day,

A few days ago there was a gay
and festive wedding party at the
house of Mr.. j., who lives in In
diana, near the line of Preble coun-
ty, Ohio; indeed, the house is in the
Hoosier State, while the garden
which supplies its occupants with
"sass," and the orchard from
which they draw their fruit and
cider is in Ohio. The occasion
which we allude to was the mar
riage of Miss Mary ]. to favorite
son of old Preble, and as the
event was largely attended, and
the preparations for the entertain
ment of the gay and festive throng
were so ample and admirable,
nothing was wanting to render it
one Of the most splendid and sat-
isfactory ever witnessed in all
that country. The ceremony con-
cluded, congratulations offered,
and the banquet ended, the
young people who contribute to
make such occasions immensely
lively were in the midst of their
mirthful demonstrations when the
minister who had tied the silken
knot bethought him of the stat
utes touching marriages, and he
concluded that the license which
was procured in Ohio, wasn't, af-
ter all, authority for marrying a
couple in Indiana; and he created
a sensation by communicating his
doubts to the young people, who
were indulging in a dream that
they were ''indissolubly united"
and astounded the party of young
folks who were making merry over
the event. A council was held,
and it was at length decided that,
to make a sure thing, and leave
no room for unpleasant doubts,
the party would repair to the or
chard, which was known to be In
the State of Ohio, and the marriage
ceremony should be repeated
This strategic movement was exc
cuted at once and in good order,
and the nervous bride and groom,
standing there in "the beautiful
snow," in that fruitful orchard,
flanked on all sides by a crowd of
shivering witnesses, were again
pronounced husband and wife.
That marriage ought to be divorce
proof.

Yankee Inhumanity.

A case of inhumanity occurred
in a beautiful New England vii
lage, recently, which it would
seem difficult to parallel. On the
night of the 4th of March last
there was a terrible snow-storm in
Vermont. This snow piled in
heaps, the roads were made i'm.
passable, and the Green Noun
tains were whitened to an euor-
nous depth. Upon the afternoon
preceding such night, an Over,
seer of the Poor, in a small town
near Peacham, turned family of
paupers, widow aged seventy
four years, an unmarried daugh-
ter aged thirty-fye, a little child
aged eight years, and a lad be-
longing to the family, out upon the
high road, and bade them begone
to some other town where a rela-
tive had offered them shelter
They plodded along until overta-
ken by the storm. At one cot
tage at the foot of the mountain
they were refused shelter; at an
other further up they were again
refused admittance, and in striving
10 reach the third and last place
they all perished, and when the
storm cleared away and the
roads were broken out their fro
zen bodies were discovered
Marks of the struggle they made
for life were evident, the lad hay-
ing reached within twelve feet
of the window of the last house,
and his dying cry for help even
was heard but unheeded, the rea
tson being given that it was not
recognized as a human voice.

EsnwIe uf The Wnsss.
HAVE CHARITY.
BY FRANCIS s. SMITH.


Through the great, sin-blasted city,
Tolls homeless little one
Not friend to soothe or pity
Not bed to lie upon
Ragged, dirty, bruised and bleeding
Subject still to kick and curse
Schooled III sin, and sadly needing
Aid from Christian tongues and purse.
But, the rich and gay pass By her,
Full of vanity and pride,
And a pittance they deny her,
Ashley pull their skirts aside.
Then sullen mood comes DER her
Reckless she of woe or veal
Death from hunger is before her
She must either starYe or steal.
She does steal, and who can blame her p
Hunger pangs her vita!s gnaw-
None endeavor to reclaim her,
And she violates the law.
Then the pampered child Of fashion,
Who refused to give relief,
Cries, with well-afected passion,
'Out upon the little thief"
Censors full of world-wise schooling,
Cease to censure and deplOre-
When the girl transgressed mans ruling
She obeyed a higher lar.
Take her piace-feel her temptation
Starved, unhoused, no succor nigh
And, though sure Of reprobation,
Ye would steal ere we would die!

About to Try It.

In France, in all criminal prose-
cutions the accused is examined
his evidence being received for
what it may be worth, as explain
atory or corroboratory of other
evidence. 1t has been found to
be useful sometimes to the ends
of justice. The New York Legis-
lature has under consideration a
law to permit criminals on trial
to testify in this manner, answer
ing only such questions as the
counsel may acquiesce in. The
New York Times says:
"1n the States where this plan
has been tried it has been found
to work well. 1t frequently aids
in the administration of justice,
and often enables the court to
clear up obscure points without
delay or trouble. We have heard
of no bad consequences from it,
and we believe it is regarded with
favor by the bench in general"

Counting Babx,s Toes.

Dear little bare feet, tender and white,
Inyour long night gown wrap'd for the night;
Come let me count your queer little toes,
Pink as the heart of shell or rose.
Soft little feet, all youI dimples l know,
Over and over I've counted them so;
Baby, my darling, If mother could choose,
Nothing should ever their tenderness bruise.
One is lady that sits in the sun;
Two is baby, and three is a nun;
Four is lily, with innocent breast;
Five is birdie asleep on her nest;
Six is a horseman a-riding with speed;
Seven is his footman and eight is his steed;
Nine is the mother, so graceful and tall;
Ten Is her wee one, the dearie Of all.
Over your eyes drop the curtains so white,
Dear little bare feet, now rest til the light.

A queer bet was recently made
in Swansey, Mass. One man wa
gered that no horse in town could
pull four bushels of corn 1.-TWO hun
dred and twenty-four pounds) in
a bag or bags, four feet on a barn
floor, the bags being fastened to an
inch rope one hundred feet in
length. The novelty of the bet at
tracted quite a crowd to witness
the performance, but the horse did
the business easily. The princi.
pie which induced the wager was
that a small anchor attached to a
long cable, will fasten large YES
sci, even in a very high wind.

"Where is Jeremy?'

"Dead ten years ago. Mrs.
Gage has a letter written by him,
a few days before his death, to her
husband. I have never seen it,
but they have told me that these
facts are there stated, amid much
penitent protestation, substantial
ly as I have just told them to you.
God forgive me, but it was bewil-
dering work, sometimes, to think
of him with anything but male
diction."
There was a long pause, broken
only by the scarce audible sobs
that marked the ebb of the storm
of emotion which had SO lately
swept through that quiet house.
One by one the street-lamps threw
their struggling beams into the
settling darkness, and the roar of
the day subsided gradually into
the city's multitudinous ''voices of
the night" Then she rose softly,
and said,
"Let us call in the children /;
aud when you have satisfied their
wonder, you shall tell me all your
history through these many years. T"
In all Chicago's quarter of a
million souls this day, there are
none more serenely and devoutly
content than these "tried and true" !"

Damaging Testimony.


Senator Sprague, of Rhode Is
land, has recently given to the
country some very important In
formation concerning the condition
of the business affairs of the coun-
try; and his lifting of the curtain
exhibits anything but a lovely pic
ture of how things are managed
in our National Congress. Du-
ring a debate in the Senate, on
the 3Oth ult., Mr.. Sprague said :
"Any man who takes an indie
pendent position in this country
contrary to those who are welding
unbounded capital over the busi-
ness, the legislation, and the cap
ital of this country-those who
make Senators here the point for
their attack, and who corrupt
wherever they touch-must expect
to be met by such means as these.
If there is a man in this chamber
or in the other House, or occupy
ing any official position, who can
stand against the corruptive infu-
ences and powers that in these
times are brought to bear upon
him, he is surely more than human.
It cannot be done by ordinary
man. These corruptive influences
are to-day riding rough-shod over
all the industrial interests Of this
country. Yet the Senator from
Massachusetts, (Mr. Wilson) tells
us all is serene and prosperous.
The capitalists of the country, he
said, were controlling everything,
and a capitalist was a man who
had a large amount of money, or
whose position enabled him to COM
mand it, and who generally knew
nothing about the business inte-
rests Of the people of the country,
and cared nothing about them ex-
cept to use them for his own profit.
The great banks of New York and
other places, which welded the
capital of the country, were man
aged by men who knew nothing a.
bout the business interests and re-
lations of the people, and yet the
Congress and legislation Of the
country were influenced and gov
erned by the managers of the
banks both by open and by indi-
rect influence. He kneao himself
of legislator, a member of q COM
mittee, soho had been asked to report
upon a matter a certain eOdy, and
tie temptation held oatt before him
gca8 100000. The worst and
most alarming feature of the mat
ter was that the moving powers
could not be punished. Some
times the people become aroused
and strike out some mere tool of
the cOrruptions, but they could
never reach the root of the matter
except by the plan embodied in this
bill to provide for the loaning of
the public money. He had stud
led the country deeply, for the last
three years, and he believed that
he fully comprehended it, and he
had not exaggerated il"
Their own wickedness will GER
tainly overtake them.
