Adams Wedding.

An English journal, the "Brittania, 1"
has an amusing article under the head
Of "Adam's Wedding" The editor
says that he likes short courtships,
and in this Adam acted like q sensible
man-he fell asleep bachelor and
awoke to fld himself married man.
lie appears to have popped the
question" Immediately after meeting
Ma,mlIe Eve; and she, without any
Irritation or shyness, gave him a kiss
and herself. OF that kiss in this world
We have had, however, our own
thoughts. and sometimes in poctical
mood have wished we were he that did
it, But the deed is or was donc--the
chance was Adams. and he improved
it. We like the notion of gettingm
ried in a gardeE-it is good taste. We
like a private wedding, and Adams
was strictly private. No beaux were
there, no croaking old maids, no chat
tering aunts, and grumbling grand
mothers. The birds of heaven were
Ministries. and the glad sky shed its
light upon the scene. One thing about
the first wedding brings queer things
into our heads, spite Of scriptural
truth. Adam and his wife were rather
young to be marricd-some two or
three years old, according 10 the
sagest speculatiors of thcologists-
mere babes-larger, but not older
without q house, a pot or kettle
nothing but love and Eden!

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
THE NAN WHO rs KIND TO
ANOTHER.
BY r. X. BEALEY.]

This world Is so bard and 50 stony
That if d man Is to.get through, ,
lie need have the courage of Nelson
And plenty of jobs patience too.
But man who Is Kind to another
And cheerftaly helps him. along,
Wen claim as man and brother,
And here's to his health. in a song.
This life is as cheerless as winter
To those who are cold in the heart,
But the man who is warm in his nature
Bids winter forever depart.
The ground that he treads on will blossom
Till beauties around him shall throng;
God bless such man and brother,
And here's to his health in song.
As clouds that in sunshine are open
Are silvcred by light passing through,
SO men who are generous in spirit
Are blessed by the good that they do.
There's nothing like helping another
For getting ones own self along;
Who does this is truly btother,
And here's to his health in = song.
There's something in other mems sorrows
That strengthens a man who is true,
They melt him at first, and thei mould him,
The manifest actions to do.
There's lots Of both sorrow and trouble
Our poor fellow creatures among;
But God makes the blessings all double
To those, who help ott ers along.

Day and Night i,I Sweden,

The peculiartics Of day and night in
Sweden strike tue traveller very forci.
bly,, after being accustomed to the tenn
perate zone, In June the sun goes
down in Stockholm a little before ten
o'clock. There is a great,ilumination
all night, as the sun passes round the
earth toward the North Pole, and the
refraction Of its rays is such that you
can see to read. at midnight without
any artificial light. There is q NOM,
tain at the head of Bothnia where, on
tie 2lst of June. the sun does not ap-
pear to 90 down at all. The steam
boat goes up from Stockholm for the
purpose OF conveying those who are
curious TO witness the phenomenon.
1t occurs onl y Oh one night. The sun
reaches the horizon; you can see the
whole face Of it, and in five minutes
more it begins to rise. At the North
Cape, latitude - deg, the sun does not
90 down for several weeks. In June
it would be about % deg. above the
horizon at midnight In the winter
the sun disappears, and is not seen for
weeks; then it comes, and lemains for
ion or fifteen minutes, after which it
dcscends, and finally does not set at
all, but makes almost a circle round
the heavens.

AMONG the Cossacks of the Ukraine

AMONG the COssacks Of the Ukraine,
leap year is eternal When a young
woman feels tender passion for a
young man, she seeks him at the resi-.
dence Of his parents, and addresses
him as follows: "The goodness I see
written in your countenance is sufficient
assurance to me that you are capable
OF ruling and loving wife, and your
excellent qualities encourage me to
hope that you will make a good hus-
band. 1t is in this belief that I have
taken the resolution to come and beg
you, with all humility, to.accept me for
your spouse" She then addresses the
father and mother, and solicits their
consent to the marriage. II she meets
with q refusal, she declines to leave
the house, and such conduct is usually
crowned with success. The parents Of
the young man never put the young
maidens away, if they still persist in
their stay, believing that by so doing
they would bring down the vengeance
of heaven upon their heads.

An Old Lie.

For hard lying, the following can
be beat. A correspondent, who lives
in New Hampshire, states that il
those parts resides man called Joe
fellow noted for the tough lies he
could tell. AS sample, read the fol.
lowing:
Joe called at Holton's one day and
found him almost choked with smoke
when he suggested:
"You don't know as much about
managing smokey chimneys as l do,
squire. or you'd cure 'cm."
"Ah," said Holton, with interest,
"did you ever see smokey chimney
curedy
"Secn a smokey chimney cured p

the worst one in Sea Board county
once, and cured it a little too much"

"Why, you see," said Joe, "you see,

Hollow. ten or twelve years ago. Jim
Bush, the fellow that built the chin
neys, kept blind drunk three. quarters
of the time, and crazy drunk the other.
| told him he would have something
wrong, but he stuck to it, and flushed
the chimney. Well, We moved in and
built q fire next morning to boil the
tea-kettle. All the smoke came through
the room and went out through the
windows; not a bit went up the fues.
We tried it for two or three days, and
it came to rain, and the rain began to
come down the chimney. 1t put the
fire out in a minute, and directly it
came down b. the pailful. We had to
get the baby off the floor as soon as we
could, or it would have drowned. In
fifteen minutes more the water stood
knee-deep on the floor. Then went
out aud took u look. 1t didn't rain
half so hard outside, and ] pretty soon
saw what was the matter. The drunken
cuss had put the wrong end up, and it
drawed downwards; it gathered all the
rain within a hundred yards, and
poured it down by the bucket!ul."
"Wcll, that was unroltunate,' re-
marked Holton. "But what III the
world did you do with the house
Surely younevc cured that chimney :"
didn't !, though answered Joe,
"you bet"

"Turned it 'tother end up" said the
!nrorrigible, "and then you ought to

"Drew too much p asked Holton.
"Well, squire, you may Judge for
YOURSELF said Joe. "Pretty soon

other end up, missed one Of the chairs

and l saw the backlog going. Then
grabbed the old woman under one

to the carpet, yelling awlulIy. 1t was
no use. lust saw her going over the
top of the chimney, and that was the

in these very natural reflections, the

where a pale, neat-looking woman, with
large brown eyes like her own, was
sewing as busily as it. the breath oflife
depended upon every stitch, and two
little ones were contentedly playing in
the sunshine that temporarily supplied
the place of the fire.
