The Nocturnal Wedding.
By ALMA.

ALMA.
King Cold came down from the North last night.
Clad in arnor complete of diamonds bright,
And welded the Princess, Dew
Boreas was groomsman, Luna was maid.
And the stars were out on dress s-parade,
A gorgeous retinue-
King Cold had woocd for weeks before,
But the Princess shy and asked for more
Of the freedom which maidens prize.
She hirted with Zephyrs and danced with the Sun,
And slept the grass when her work was done,
Then up with the morning would riss.
King Cold would sigh and Boreas would storm,
And Luna would veil her beautiful form
With cloud all sombre and grey;
And Rain would run riot o'er mountain and vale,
Striving to drown the sweet maid of the dale
In her jealoasy-so Dew would say
I noticed one day, VIII, n the Morn was yet new,
As 1 walked in the sunlight conyersing with Dew,
That the tears in her eyes were congealed
Her voice quite harsh. her touch was like ice,
And she told me King Cold held her heart in vice.
And his power no longer concealed
"Pray come to my wedding;;'' twas King Cold
who spoke, i
In a voice l could hear, though the echoes scarce
broke
Through the leaflets adorned by Miss Dew;
"The Heavenly Hosts shall our witnesses be,
And a privileged mortal are youN-this to me-
ITO be honored by friendship 50 true
"I thought Cold was cruel carelessly cried;
.Did youF' whispered he and my fingers he spied,
And he bit them if in rage.
"Don't slander my lover dear mcrtal, said Dew,
"He could freeze you, CONCEAL you and yanquish
you, too
"And prsserre you, wcen,' eroaked the sage.
Tho wedding splendid Old Night tied the
pair,
And the Banquet was grand, thou4h b refreshments
of air
Scarcely strengthen poor mortals like me:
But SO much was pleased with the work of the
Night.
That Hunger was baniShcd and Bliss and Delight
Left my Fancies all rowing and free.
Grim Silence prepares a grand couch for King
Cold.
And Darkness her curtains around him will fold,
As Queen Dew bids her guests a farewell.
Tho u,oruing dawns brightly; King Cold stirs
abroad,
But Queen Dew lies enrohed in glitt'ring shroud,
And the Winds toll her funeral knell.

PARLoR MAGIc.-For the purpose of
amusing our young friends during the
long winter evenings, and also with a view
of inculcating love of science, We pub
lish the following interesting ''parlor
tricks" which will be found, upon trial,
to be very entertaining. If they should
prove a success, we shall feel amply COM
pensated for our extraordinary labor and
research among the ancient archives in
their obtainance:
The ISpittoon Trick.-Take two half
gallon spittoons-white ones are the
best-then select strong cord-a worst
cd one if it can be procured-pass the
cord through the two holes of the spit
tocns and give the ends to gentleman
and lady, selected from the company, to
hold Now let lady seize the spittoons,
and sliding each to the opposite end of
the cord, bring them together smartly,
when they will break in pieces and fall
to the floor The trick is easily per-
formed, and will excite considerable ap-
plause.
The Magic .Stick-To do this trick
you will need pearl handled knife and a
stout hard wood stick, some two inches
in length. Sharpen the two ends OF the
stick, and then try to crush endways,
either between your hands or by sitting
upt it. This, to your astonishment. you
will find impossible to do.
The Flying hen.-Select large, we'll
fed hen-the color is immaterial, though
black is best-place her in sitting pos
ture on smooth surface. Then over
her place pasteboard box, eighteen or
thirty inches. Pound smartly on the top
of the box with bone handled knife for
three minutes, and then suddenly raise
it, when the hen will Immediately fly
away. This trick can be performed by
any person of average intelligence who
gives his whole mind to it.
The NdR Trich-Take two large
wrought iron nails andw wire them together
in the form of cross. It will then be
found impossible to swallow them. There
is no deception about this.
The Ca5ze-Take piece of tarred
cable, about fifteen inches in length, cut
it carefully in two with a sharp knife,
and then try to chew the ends together.
You can chew as long as you like.
The Magic Eggs.-Put twelve fresh
eggs carefully into green worsted bag
Swing the bag rapidly about your head
hitting it each tune against the door post
Then ask the company whether they will
have them boiled scrambled or fried
It will make no difference which they
choose
The Four Jacks-Solect a pack oi
cards with plain white backs. Take out
the four jacks and burn them before the
company, letting them see the ashes
Now shuttle the cards quickly and hold
ing them in the left hand give them 8
sharp rap with the face down and defy
the company to find the jacks. They
can't do it.

WHETHER, or no, the o.den time was
any better than the present, can't say,
for wasn't Twin then and don't half
live now. But one thing certain, I'll
wager that the women wasn't so extrav
agant in them days. My wife will use
SO much butter in her cDokin,' and it 8
outrageous I've made up my mind
not to grumble, because it don't do any
good, but do think doughnuts cost TOO
much to have EN- give away to the NO
men at the rag. sewin's. These rag sew
in concerns don't do any good; Old
Wilder Grimes is awful, she gabs about
US men fellers a leetle too much. Why,
she said was hen betty. What is a
hen betty? nothin' more than man who
goes about the house, liftin' the pot lids
to see how the dinner is gettin' on. He
knows how many sheets, pillow cases,
and towels, the house contains; always
knows when the doughnuts and pies are
out; his head is filled with cookin' re
ceipts; he orders the number Of 'taters
to be billed for dinner, opens his old wo
mans's letters: knows everything; he can
cook a dinner, and-spank the children.
Course kin, I'm proud of it, too. l
kin do all Of them things and more, too;
only spankin' children, mercy! I never
done that. I never. had any boys or
girls, and don't expect-but I'm talk
in about the olden times. The days of
our grand fathers were, in some re-
spects, good deal better than our days;
for instance, then the men was as good
as the women, now the women think a
mans nothin.' Then the girls could
chop wood, milk COWS, and other things
but now they faint if they have to butter
ter their own bread and butter.
Them days woman and man was on
equality, now man, if he peeps in a
rag sewin,' is slapped in the face with a
shovel or broom. The women wasn't
allus squealin' about their rights
Then they could wear home spun dress
es, and COW hide shoes, but now a whole
dry goods store must be on their backs
Oh dear me, this is a miserable world!

The Amendment.

The Fifteenth Article to the amendm e1.t
to- the Constitution now submitted to the
Legislatures ofkthe States for ratifica
ton, has the recommendation of being
concise and comprehensive. Here it is,
and all there is of it:
The right of the citizens of the Uni
. ted States to vote shall not be denied
or abride ed by the United States, Or by
any State, on account of race, color, or
previous condition of servitude"
Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation +
The right is still left to the States to
provide the ballot with such safeguards
rs the people thereof may think expedi
ent. The amcndmendment simply for
bids Determinations on account of 'race,
color, and previous condition of servi-
tude," That is to say, conditions which
no man can remedy, do what he will
II is absurd, it is disgraccful, for any
political community to punish by dis
qualification in matters entirely beyond
the control of the individual, and for
which he is in nowise responsible. The
principle embodied in the article is a
just one, and leaves no ground Of defence
for those who oppose its ratification. If
the States want limitation, let them
fix it on the basis Of education, or prop
erty, or such other qualifications as
seems best, but apply it to all alike, the
white and the black-the native and For
eign born-the adopted European and
the Asiatic icon
