ALUDICR0Us SITUATTON-A clergyman in
Vermont, being apprehensive that the accu.
mulatcd weight of the snow upon the roof of
his barn might do some damage, resolved to
shovel it off He therefore assembled the roof,
having first taken the precaution to fasten his
waist to one end of rope, the other end OF
which he gave to his wife, but fearing still for
his safety, he said: -" My dear, tie the rope
this when off went the snow, minister and all
and up went the wife, Thus on one side of the
barn the astonishcd clergyman hung, while on
the other side hung his wife, high and dry
dangling at the end of a rope. At that mo
nent gentleman luckily passed by, and deliv
cred them from their perilous situation.

EXCITING SCENE AT A WEDDING. A h'gh-
ly exciting scene transpired a few days since at
one of the Partisan churches a number of
fashionable equipages halted in front Of the
portal, and bride and bridegroom stepped
from the first carriage to be married in the
church. AS soon as the bridegroom, surround
ed by his friends and relatives, reached the
door, he was suddenly met by well dressed
young lady, who had evidently been waiting
for him in the interior Of the church. Stretch
ing out both arms, she held up before him a
lovely little girl six or eight months old, and
said, in piercing voice:
"Ths is your child, but you are not worthy
of bringing her up. | am going to keep her.
AS for these portraits of him who has so base
ly betrayed me, [ will give them back to you. "
So saying, she flung two photographs at his
feet. The relatives and friends Of the bride
and bridegroom interferred Immediately in or.
der to put stop to the painful scene. They
surrounded the young lady, trying to cain hel
and take her away. She consented to leave
the church, but in doing so she fixed her eyes
on her little daughter, and exclaimed:
Your father has deserted me, but this day
will be an unlucky one for him. God will
curse him, and heaven will not desert you.
The young bride, who had already beer
married at the Marie, tainted away. Whel
she awOke to consciousness she allowed herscl
to be led to the altar, where the bridegroom
in faltering voice and with livid face, amit
the scornful jeers of many of the bystanders
plighted his trOth to her.

THRILLING ADVENTURE OF DR.. MARY
WALKER.-" Jingle, of the New York SIM
dap NnrS, tells this story, which has the air Of
probability:
While with the Army of the Potomac, in
the summer of 1863, DIR. Walker visited the
headquarters Of Colonel afterwards Gcneran
Sam Carol, Of the Second Army Corps. Fail
ing in all her efforts to get Il regular commits
sion as surgeon in the army, and having only
permission to remain with the troops in the
capacity Of nurse, the Doctor" was frequent
ly Obliged to accept the hospitality Of the Off
GERS. On the occasion referred to she plainly
stated to General Carroll her Intention Of tar
rying at his headquarters for few weeks for
the laudabc purpose Of looking after the sick.
OF course the General consented, and, being
as gallant as he is brave, offered her the sole
use Of his tent, which she accepted. So far
so good Early on the morning after her ar
rival field officer Of Western regiment at
tachcd to CarrOlPs brigade-a bluff, honest,
devil-may-care old backwuodman walk

that the flies of Carroll's tent were still tied,
thought it somewhat strange that his command

main in bed at so late an hour.

the officer quietly lifting the clothes at the foo

The rest Of the sentence was lost in pierre

can furnish at short notice, and the Jolly oil
officer, abashed and dumbfounded, boundc
from the tent like a stag struck by three

AN INQrIRING MIND.-It is said of great
En4lish lawyer, whose learning was an object
of astonishmcnt to every one, that much Of it
was acquired by disposition at all times to
ask questions. 1t is possible that such notions
actuated the ghief of Police, on Friday, when
his office was visited by very pretty young
matron, whose claim to consideration was evin-
ced by remarkably handsome baby which she
carried in her arms.
"That is very pretty baby, madam" said
that polite official to the smiling matron, =" a
remarkably pretty baby !"
"Do you think so? Well, yes: he has been
very much admired | must confess"
"There is no doubt Of that, | dare say.
How old is hep
"Only two months Old"
Indeed Is he your youngest?'
"Wcll, should think so People don't ge
hold of these things every day :"
Don't they?' replied the unsuspectin2
Chief "The reason asked my wife and my
self are talking about adopting one ~
"Oh in that case, [ should advise you t.
get divorce, am a widow mysef!"
The Chief looked as if he didn't exactly un
derstand, and hastily turned to the transaction
of other business.

The New York CommerciM says "The
nucleus of all museums is club which killed
Captain Cook. First get your club and then
build around it. BY careful count there must
have been from 1000 to 1000 natives around
that prosecuted explorer and martyred navga-
tor when he met his death, and each of them
took hack at him, that their clubs might go
down to posterity in glass cases"

A clergyman recently related the following:

A cergyman Tecenty TeIated Jhe IO1lOWlng:
Two young friends of his were boarding in
Germany with very devout Catholic lady,
who always asked blessing before each meal
Americans asked a blessing. One of them, re.
membering the haste with which so many of
his countrymen attack their food said, The
American blessing is, Pitch in. A few
days after, the good lady, thinking to please
her boarders, reverently folded her hands be-
fore breakfast and uttered the words, Pitch
in" which they of course did.

Damascus remains where it was before the
days of Abraham-a centre OF trade and travel
an island of verdure in desert, "perdesti-

Mediterranean still 6 occupy" these with the
multitude of their waters" The city which
Mahomet surveyed from a neighbOring height,
and was afraid to enter, because 1T was given
to men to have but one paradise, and for his
part he was resolved not to have his in this

Night levels all artificial distinction. The beg

soothing, refreshing nght-the earthly para

SOUL the nurse of romance, of devotion; how
the great heart of society yearns for the return
of night and rest. Sleep is Gods special gift
to the poor; for the great there is no time fix

stead of quietly waiting the approach of events
they fret and repine and starve sleep and chide

WASTED HARMONY.

j Smith fell in love with maid;
Each night meath the window he stood,
And there with his soft Screntde
He awakened the whole nei.hDorhood!
But vainly he tried to arouse
Her sleep, with his strains so bewitching;
While he played in front of the house,
She slept in the little back kitchen.
