The Bo- on Journal for Tuesday has
suggestive article on railroad consollda-
ton on the Boston and Ogdensburg route.
1t seems that proposition has been
brought before the railway committee OF
the Massachusetts legislature. to cohHoh-
.l.......,i ,I... railroads between Boston and
R.,.-c.- Point COR O4d.n-burg) into one
..r.uany. This would include the Low
ell. Concord, Northern. Vt. Central and
VI. n Canada roads: or the Fitchburg,
Cheshire. and Rutland u Burlington
roads. The latter route Is favored by
many in Boston, as being the shorter
line by twenty-five miles, and also as
running for a longer distance in the state
OF Massachusetts.
The especial measure which has now
been submitted TO the railway committee
contemplate, something of greater mag

"A Young Girl says "I
Won't" ut tho Altar.

A peculiar incident occurred a short
time since in tho vicinity of Hack.
ney, England, worth recording, from
the fact of Its being one of the rarest
escapades In matrimonial history.
An aged gentleman, OF not very pre-
possessing appearance, but, neverthe-
less perfect Crpsus, was leading his
bride, girl OF sweet sixteen, to the
hymeneal alter, under circumstances
OF having purchased her hand (but
not her heart) by assisting her father
when In pecaniary difficulties. Six
handsomely dressed bridesmaids aud
host of friends attended the couple 10
church. The bride was dccked out
In nuptial splendor, the roadway was
lined with carriages and grays, and
the whole scene presented an impos-
ing effect; the venerable gentleman
led his bride up tho asiie, aud the
ceremony of coupling them began.
All went quietly enough till tho
clergyman came to the sentence,
"Will you take this man for your
welded husband?n when she I'm q
loud and solemn manner exclaimed,
II WON'T She rose i'm an excited
manner, darted out of the church,
jumped into carriage awaiting her
outside, I'm which was seated the idol
OF her choice; off they went to
another church. not thousand miles
away, were married there and then,
and are now living In happy we'd
lock. The event created quite sem
satien In the neighborhood.

that would not have been exactly on

she could let him stand In midlin'

"Well, stranger, you mighn't

An Example for Young.

The Greenfield tMass.) Gazette
publishes the following little story
about a family, some members or
which are already pretty well known
with prospect that they will be still
better known hereafter:
'Some years ago there lived in n
neighboring town man of integrity.
Tanning and currying leather was
his occupation. He had several sons;
one of them learned the business OF
his father. After he left home he
went to Boston and there engaged In
the same occupation. During his
leisure hours, instead of frequenting
saloons and other places Of low re-
sort, where so many take their first
lessons in vice, he found the rooms

Here he spent his evenings storing
his mind with useful knowledge. -
He there became acquainted with
some of the members. They suppos-
ing him to be merchant, thought
him to be good fellow, and invited
him to join their association, which
he gladly accepted, but on inquiring
as to his business, 1t was found that
he was not eligible, for In an article

imagine that this refusal upon such

tion th2t in his intercourse with
mankind he would treat men accor.

An Unfortunate Group OF
Girls.

There lives near Bellville, Hem
bricks county, Indiana, a peculiar
family-three boys and three girls.
The oldest girl Is about "a years,
weighs about 200 pounds, Is very
intelligent lady, but we noticed one
peculiar feature not common among
the fair sex, she had heavy beard
minus the moustachee, which Is
about two inches long and of auburn
color The beard on the chin of this
lady is the heaviest We did not
perceive any on her throat, nothing
but regular side and chin whiskers.
We ewere informed that the beard has
grown more rapidly during the past
year The next girl is IL years old,
born blind and is an idiot; the next
is girl IA, born blind. The three
boys are all intelligent young men.

young man who recommended him
self very highly as being honest, and
closed with the request: ''Get me an
easy situation, that honesty may be
rewarded" To which Mr.. Beecher
replied: Don't be an editor II you

Avoid school-keeping. Keep out OF
the pulpit. Let alone all stores, ships
and merchandise. Abhor politics.
Keep away from lawyers. Don't
practice medicine. BE not farmer
