A Young Couple Walk Twenty-Eight
Miles to get Married.

AT late hour on Saturday evening, a
young couple arrived here from Lebanon,
ILL.,, having travelled the whole distance on
foot. They went Immediately to Justice
Jecko's office, but found it closed. They
then engaged separate rooms at Barnum' s,
and waited rather impatiently for the
dawning of Sunday morning.
The name of the young man was John
Charles Tiedeman, and that of the lady,
Miss Pauline Betzler. The story of their
adventures is somewhat romantic. Tiede-
men is German, and has been raised from
beyhood by the father of Pauline, who es-
teemed him very highly. Although reared
together, the young couple only recently
discovered that they were desperately in
love with each other. The old man wished
to unite his young and beautiful daughter
to man of wealth living near Lebanon,
and then it was that the seal OF the blind
god was broken, and the young people
discovered that they could not live apart.
Tiedeman, after worrying his brain for
many nights and days in endeavoring to
extricate himself from the meshes of tove,
concluded at last to go boldly before the
old man and demand his daughter for a
wife. Mr.. Betzler would not listen to
anything of the kind, but Indignantly re-
fused to give the girl to her lover. John
Charles was not dismayed by this refusal.
he had heard of cruel parents and loving
daughters, and knew that he could rely
upon Pauline in any emergency. Finding
that the consent of the old man could not
be obtained, the lovers determined to work
out their own destiny without it.
On Saturday morning when Mr.. Betzler
awoke, he was astonished at the disappear
ance of Pauline, and John Charles. He
waited and waited, but they did not show
themselves, and he concluded they had
eloped. He started for ST. Louis, but in SO
large city it was difficult to find two peo-
pie who were disposed to hide from him.
He waited until the next morning, when he
started out with the firm determination to
annihilate John Charles at first sight. He
took walk in the Lafayette park on Sun
day morning, and the beauty of the place
somewhat modified his feelings and soft
ened his heart. In promenading around
the park, who should he meet but Pauline
and John Charles sauntering arm in arm
and engaged IN low and earnest converse
tion. The old man could not help admir-
ing the handsome couple, and thinking

they were well suited to each other, iu-
stead of blowing out John Charles brains,
he spoke to him kindly, and in a few min
utes the quarrel was made up, and the old
man agreed to the marriage. They went
before justice Jecko, and in few minutes
the ceremony was over. The justice was
so much pleased with the handsome young
bride, that for the first time in the course
OF his official existence he bestowed a kiss
upon her blushing cheek, which s.blushed
still deeper at the conclusion. The old
man was highly pleased at the happy tt IN
affairs had taken, and the three returned
to Lebanon in high glee---&. Louis Demo-

A WRITER, giving "Notes of a Tour IN
China" dwells ON the great difficulty of
learning the Chinese language, from its
hieroglyphic characters and legion of dia-
lects and tones. The speaker may have
the right word, but unless he gives the
right tone, he either says nothing or says
probably the opposite of what he intended.
A missionary, ON one occasion, when
preaching, wished to say "God is angry
with SIM" To his utter astonishment, the
whole congregation jumped to their feet.
He had got the right word ;sbut, minus the
tone, the word meant ''Stand upT' On
another occasion the preacher wished to
say, "Idols shall be utterly abolished )"
but, not giving the right tone, he found to
his Consideration that he had actually de-
clared, "Idols are absolutely necessary"
In India where there is no such difficulty,
absurd blunders are made. Who has not
heard of the Bengal missionary who meant
to preach from the text, i am the Light
of the world" but substituted dlo0 (potatO)
to aLo Oight)? The writer once heard
missionary by an error of aspirate declare
that est. Paul made monkey"
The Rev. A. A. Miner, d. D., has

setts State Temperance Alliance, in place
of William B. SpOOner, declined.

SWindlers.'

A PAIR of Chicago sharpers have been
victimizing the farmers in the vicinity of
Davenport, by a unique sort of confidence
game. They recently drove up in stylish
buggy to the newly-erected house of a
farmer named Jansen, to whom they
proposed to point his dwelling gratis, with
a "new kind of pump" and also to apply
to the roof " fire-proof composition on
condition that he help them to get the
custom of his neighbors. The lady of the
house got them up good "square meal, y.
and after dinner they requested Jansen
to write his name on printed paper,
merely that they might have his address.
and they would forward the paints He
did so, and his guests departed. Jansen
soon found, through one of his neighbors,
that he had given his note for $500 to
pretended agents of one "A. L. Barsley,
manufacturer of fire proof cement, or
metallic composition roofing, No. 161
Twenty ninth street, Chicago,::Ill. l." They
have probably shaved the note before.

a BIRD SONG.

BY L. X. i.
A LITTLE bonnie bird / know,
With breast more soft than eider-down;
A dress she wears of dapped brown,
And sings with sweeter tone, trow-
Ali sweeter far this birdie sings
Than all the birds the summer brings;
And yet her song is enly this:
81 love You, papa!' then-a kiss.
Not tenderest song of nightingale,
Nor sparkling trills and gurgiDg gush
of ioy from velvet-tbroated thrush,
Nor brilliant pipe of mottled quail,
- Nor tuneful plaift of whippoorwill,
2 The measure of her song can fill;
And yet her song is only this:
81 love you, papar' then-a kiss
