The Power Of the Great Light.

A Virginia banker, who was the chair
man of noted infidel club, was once
travelling on horseback through Ken
lucky, having with him bank bills to the
value of twenty five thousand dollars. -
When he came to lonly forest, where
robberies and murders were said to be
frequent, he was soon s'lost," by taking
the wrong road. The darkness of the
night came quickly over him, and how
to escape from the threatened danger he
knew not. In his alarm he suddenly
espied in the distance dim light, and
urging his horse onward, he at length
came to a wretched cabin. He knocked,
and the door was opened by woman,
who said her husband was out hunting
but would shortly return, and she was
sure he would cheerfully give him shel>
ter for the night. The gentleman tied
up his horse and entered the cabin,
with feelings which may better be i'm
agined than described. Here he was,
with large sum OF money, alone, and
perhaps i'll the house of one of those rob-
bers whose name was terror of the coun-
try.
In short time the man Of the house
returned. He had on a deer skin hunt
ing shirt, a bear skin cap, seemed much
fatigued, and in no laxative mood
All this BODIED the infidel no good. He
felt for his pistols in his pocket, and
placed them so as to be ready for instant
use. The man asked the stranger to re-
tire to bed, but he declined, saying that
he would sit by the fire all night. The
man urged, but the more the infidel was
alar med. He felt assured that was his last
night on earth, but he determined to sell
his life as dearly as he could. His in
fidel principles gave him no comfort
What was to be done
At length the backwoodsman arose,
and reaching to a wooden shelf, he took
down an old book, and said
SWELL Stranger, if you won't go to
bed will but it is my custom always
to read a chapter of Holy Scriptures
before l go to bed"
"What change did these words pros
duce! Alarm was at once removed from
the skeptic's mind Though avowing
himself an inhdel, he had now conf
dence in the Bible. He felt safe. He
felt that man who kept an old Bible
in his house, and read it, who bent
his knee in prayer, was no robber or
murderer ! He listened to the simple
prayer of the good man, at once dis
missed all his fears, and lay down in
the rude cabin and slept as he did I'M
der his fathers roof. From that night
he became sincere Christian, and often
relates the story Of his journey to
prove the folly of infidelity.

Marriage in iChemise.

In England, from early times until
the present, q notion prevailed that if a
man married q woman in her shift only,
he was not liable to any debt which she
might have contracted. This was q
vulgar error, founded pobably on the 1e-
gel maxim that q husband is liable for
his wife's debts, because he upon mar>
rage acquired an absolute interest in her
personal estate; the unlearned deduct>
ion being that if the wife had no estate
the husband would not incur any liabili-
ty. The register book of village in
Willis, under date IVA, contains an en-
try of marriage of q woman Gin her
smock, without any clothes or head-gear
on" At Ulcomb, in Kent, in 1925, q
woman was married in her chemise. -
At Whitehaven, in 1866, q woman strip
ped to her shift in the church, and in
that condition she stood at the altar and
was married. In Lincolnshire, between
1888 and 1914, q woman was married
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 chemise
only. At Kirstons in Linsey there was
= popular belief that the woman must be
.,ctuly nude when she left her residence
Tor that of her intended husband, in order
20 relieve her from her debts and q

BIRD COURTsHIP.-I have seen fine
cock robin paying assiduous addresses
to female bird, as late as the middle
OF July and have no doubt that his
intentions were honorable. The hen,
took it was in market the second that
season, but the cock, from his bright,
unfaded plumage, looked like new ar
rival. The hen resented every advance
of the male. In vain he strutted around
her, and displayed his fine feathers :;
every now and then she would make at
at him in the most spiteful manner
He followed her to the ground, poured
into her ear fine half suppressed war.
BILE, offered her worm, and then flew
back to the tree again with great
spread Of plumage, hoped around her
on the branches, chirpcd, chartered,
flew gallantly ut an intruder, and was
back in an instant at her side. No use
she cut him short at every turn.
The denounaent +, I connot relate, as the
artful bird followed by her ardent sutton
soon flew away beyond my sight. may
be rash to conclude, however, that she
held out no longer than was prudent
On the whole there seemed to be a sys-
TEN of woman's Rights prevailing among
the birds, which contemplated from the
standpoint of the male, is admirable. In
almost oil cases Of joint interest, the
female bird is the most active. She de-
termines the site of the nest, and is usu
ally the most absorbed in construction.
Generally she is more vigilant in caring
for the young, and manifests the most
concern when danger threatens. Hour
after hour have seen the mother Of a
fine brood Of groosbeaks pass from the
nearest meadow to the tree that held her
nest, with cricket or grasshopper in
her bill, while her better>dressd half
was singing serenely on a distant tree,
pursuing his pleasure amid the branches.
