A HALFMARRIED INDIvIDUAL.-A peculiar in
cident occurred short time since in the vicinity
of Hackney, England, worth recording from the
fact of its being one of the rarest escapades in
matrimonial history. An aged gentleman, OF
not very prepossessing appearance, but never
theless perfect Cr9sus, leading his bride,
girl of sweet sixteen, to the hymeneal altar,
under the circumstances of having purchased
her hand (but not her heart) by assisting her
father when in pecuniary difficulties. Six hand
somely dressed bridesmaids and host of friends
attended the couple to the church. The bride
was decked out in nuptial si,lendor, the roadway
was lined with carriages and greys, the whole
scene presenting an imposing effect; the venera-
bic gentleman led his bride up the aisle and the
ceremony of coupling then began. All went
quietly enough until the clergyman came to the
sentence, VIII you take this man for your
welded husband?" when she, n n loud and SOL
emn manner, exclaimed 80 / won'tp' She rose
in an excited manner and darted out of the
church, jumped into carriage awaiting her out
side, in which was seated the idol of her choice
and off they went to church not a thousand
miles away, were married there and then, and
are now living in happy wedlock. The event
has created quite sensation in the neighbor-
hood, and the interest has not yet abated.

The Country Road.


Most still and sweet the country road
"nere overhead the tall trees met;
On either side a streamlet flowed
Ded OF flowers beneath was set
1ns toad TWO lives together brought
nnich never more might walk apart;
Aade one u two In deed and thought,
In that true marriage of the heart.
Slow straying through the bright arcade
All wordless. since each heart was read,
They noted idly how the glade
Was ever closing just ahead;
fet as the seeming end they neared,
vista opened farther on,
green and shady path appeared
As bright as that already gone
linen Jasper, breaking silence, gave,
As solemn thoughts stirred to life
For that great future that him gave
broader duty with wife;
" An Jessie dear, 'twere well to take
lessen here for mutual years.
And know that He way will make,
When life ahead seems closed in fearsn
Hair white to-day thistle down
Has jasper of that bygone time
And Jessies curls Of golden brown
Are blanched like boughs in wntry time;
But neither heart has yet forgot
Youths lessen but half understood
When, e'er begun their welded lot
They strayed as lovers through the wood.
And Jasper speaks-his solemn thought
Confirmed by weight Of varied years

Our days ahead were veiled in tears"
When Jessie spaSe, I" Remember thee
Our closing pathway through the wood,

The future will; since God is good"

CLIMATIC CHANGES PnoDUcED BY TREEs.-The
British Medical journal says the ground on which
stands Ismailia, town Of 6,000 Inhabitants,
was, but few years since, a dry. sandy desert,
on which rain was never known to c.n All is
now transformed. The old dried up basin of
Lake Timsah has been again filled With water
from the Nile by fresh water canal. Trees,
plants and shrubs of all description, grow rap
idly wherever the soil IS irrigated, and the ar
tifcial oasis widens fast. Accompanying this ey-
traordinarv transformation of the aspect OF the
place, there has been corresponding change in
the climate. At the present time, lsmailia, dur
ing eight months in the year; is probably the
healthiest spot in Northern Egypt. The mean
temperature from June to September is % de-
grees, Fahrenheit, the four following months
"a degrees, and the four winter months, 40 &C.
grees. Until two years ago rain was unknown,
but in twelve months ending in April last, there
were actually fourteen days on which ram fell,
and lately there fell tremendous shower OF
ro;,-a nbenomenon which the oldest Arab had
never previously witnessed. Rain ceases to fall
on country deprived of its forests or only fais
in violent storms Here we see rain returning

ENDLESS DAY-GLARING Days AND BRILLIANT
NIGHTs.-Nothing strikes stranger more forci-
bly,, if he visits Sweden at the season of the
year when the days are longest, than the absence
of the nights DR.. Baird relates some interesting
facts. He arrived at Stockholm from Gotten
burgh, four hundred miles distant in the morn
ing, and in the afternoon went to see some
friends He returned about midnight, when it
was as light as it is in England an hour before
sunset. You could see distinctly, but all was
quiet in the streets. 1t seemed as if the inhabi-
tants had gone away were dead. The sun in
June goes down in Stockholm at a little before
ten o clock. There is great illuminations all
night, as the sun passes round the earth toward
the north pole and the refraction of its rays is
such that you can see to read at midnight WITH
out any artificial light The first morning Dr..
Bard awoke in Stockholm he was surprised to
see the sun In his room. He looked a. his
watch and found it only three o'clock The
next time he awoke it was five o'clock, but
tnere were persons in the street. There is a
mountain at the head of Bothinia, where on the
Zlst OF June the sun does not appear to go
oown at all. The steamboat goes up from
Stockholm for the purpose of conveying those
VINO are curious to witness the phenomenon
IL occurs only one night. The sun reaches
lne norlzon, you can see the whole face O: it,
and In tive minutes more it begins to rise. At
the North Cape, latitude 70 degrees, the sun
ooes not go down for several weeks. In June it
would be about 25 degrees above the horizon at
midnight. In the winter time the sun disap-
pears and is not seen for weeks; then it comes
and remains for ten or fifteen minutes, after
which it descends, and family does set at all,
but makes almost circle round the heavens.
Dr. Baird was asked how they managed in those
latitudes with hired persons, and what they coz
sldered day. He replied that they worked oy
the hour, and twelve hours would be consioereu
days work. Birds and animals take ln.
accustomed rest at the usual hour, wnetnef 'n0
sun goes down or not.

MARRIED En- CHrMlsE.-Ia England, from early
times until the present, q notion has prevailed
that if man married in her shift only,
he was not liable to any debts which she might
have contracted. This was vulgar error,
founded probably on the legal maxim that a hus-
haud is liable to his wife debts, because he, up-
on marriage, acquired an absolute interest in her
personal estate-the unlearned deduction being
that If the wife had estate the husband wound
not incur any liability. The register books of q
village in Wits under date of 49, contains an
entry of q marriage Of woman :! in her smock,
withou. any clothes or head gear on At u
comb, in Kent, in 1925, woman was married
in her At Whitehayen, in l 7G6, woman
stripped herself to her shift in church, and in that
condition stood st the aItar aud was married.
In .colashire, between 1888 and 1914,
woman was married enveloped only in sheet
And not many years back similar marriage
took place. The clergyman finding nothing in
the rubric about the woman's dress, thought he
could not refuse to marry her in her chemise
only. AT tKirton-in-Lindsey there was a popular
belief that the woman must be actually nude
when she left her residence for that of her in
tended husband, in order to relieve him from her
debts; and case of this kind occurred. A
woman left her house from her bedroom window
in a state Of nudity, and put on her clothes
she stood upon the top of the ladder by which
she accomplished her descent. The notion Of u
marriage in a chemise was prevalent at Gotten
ham, in Cambridgeshire, recently.

Ludicrous illustrations from History.

The report made to the Massachusetts Senate
upon female suffrage has in some respects the
merit of being logical, which is not an usual
quality in discussions of this kind. We deem
the report, however, singulary unfortunate in
the following historical Illustrations "When
we End woman with the miatary capacity of
Joan of Arc we shall make her our general.
When we meetwith one with the executive ability
of Zeno5ia or Queen Bess we shall elect her Gov
ernor or President, aud not before" There is no
evidence whatever that Joan of Arc possessed
any military capacity in the modern acceptation
of the phrase. She priestess, and not
soldier. When the army arrived before Orleans,
she said to Dunois Indignantly: "Was it, then,
by your advice that We came by the way of So
logne?' Such was the advice of our Oldest
and wisest Captains said Dunois. "My
Lord, replied Joan, 4" the counsel of God is
wiser than the counsel of men. You intended
to deceive me- you have deceived yourself.
Fear nothing. God has appointed my path"
Fancy Napoleon or General Grant deciding n
question of military approaches in that way !
The Maid of Orleans awakened extraordinary en-
thuiasm; she exhibited great personal courage /;
she was employed by Generals in age of fa-
naticsm as a leader but that she % Cen
era " in our sense of the word there is
son for believing; and quite content that
it should be so. Of Elizabeth it may be said
that, shrewd ruler as she was she called no
women to her councils. And in many respects
she was very bad ruler indeed, cruel of heart,
a hard-hended oppressor, constantly false, per-
sonally the slave of her passions, and particu-
larly of her vanity. We should be very sorry to
have such a woman, one at all like her, Pres
ident of the United States and the Massachu-
sets committee may be sure that they would not
relish such ruler, especially if she boxed their
ears or commanded their heads to be cut eff.

THE RAIDS OF DEATH.

This magnificent piece of poetry is from thu
Rev. W. H. Platt, the Rector of Calvary
Church, Louisville, Ky:
On his phantom steed, with passions speed,
Death sweeps on his circuits wide;
Through every zone he rides alone,
With death as his weird bride.
Pause and think
On the brink
Of the tide, .
Dim and wide
In the gloom
. OF thy doom, r.-
Passing thee.
With mocking glee oer every sea;
He gathers his tracking storm,
And he hunts down life in its gasping strife,
In every breathing form;
With his muffied feet, his courser feet,
! O'ertakes each flying man,
And summons him back, in every crowd,
To tramp in his caravan.
Ponder sigh!
Each must die;
Vengeful death,
In each breath,
Conquers life.
To the laughing child and the savage wild,
To the maiden in mystic light
To the rayless mind, in mission kind
To hope, with its beamings bright
To the proud and great in pomp of state
To all of a vagrants birth
To the heart of grief, like smitten leaf.
To all of this moaning earth.
Hasten death,
Ponder death 81
Ink waves.
Silent graves,
All around
Thee abound,
Man! Oman!

brought before his commanding officer for

and had been often punished. "Heretke
