A STRANGE HoNEYNIOON.-We have
Just learned the particulars of bridal
tour under difficulties, which has been
brought to a most unromantlc termlna-
ton in this city. Something over q
month ago young couple residing at
Montreal, Canada, became mutually en-
amored and were married, against the
wishes and express command OF the girls
parents. Having thus joined fortunes
for better or worse, it became necessary
for them to emigrate to more congenlal
cline. The atmosphere of those enraged
parents was not conclusive to the health
and happiness of the newly welded pair
In their haste to enter into a matrimonial
alliance they had overlooked the little
fact that neither one was possessed of
means sufficient to purchase transporta-
ton, and in this age of soulless corpora
tions people don't travel a great ways for
nothing. However, by disposing of their
personal property, they succeeded i'll
raising enough money to purchase tickets
to Milwaukee, at which place they land
ed, strangers and penniless. Unable to
procure employment they left Milwaukee
on foot, hoping to find work which would
afford at least living, but disappoint-
ment has beset them at every point, and
they have struggled on through the dust
and heat of mid summer until they reach
ed this city worn down by trials, priva-
tions and sufferings of their long, tedious
journey, the husband in failing health
and the wife broken down in spirit and.
sick at heart. They were taken charge
of by kindly disposed person who has
done all in his power to render them
comfortable. To-day they were taken to
the county poor house, and thus endeth
their first month of married life. Let us
hope that fortune may be more propiti-
Gus in the future, and that their sorrows
may be turned into joys innumerable-

A little chap had dirty face, and his
teacher told him to go and wash it. He
went away, and after few minutes came
back with the lower part of his counte-
nance tolerably clean, while the upper
part was dirty and wet.

Then, again, from the seventh to the
fourteenth century, the monks we're accus-
toned to transcribe their feeble lives of the
saints, or other writings often quite as worth
less, on parchment, from which they had
erased some ancient classic. F
In view of all these facts, the wonder is
that we still have even fragments ofso many
ancient writings.

LOST BOOKS.

We sometimes see on a single page. OF
scarce" several times, after the titles OF
books. If a book can become scarce in these
days of cheap printing, how great must have
been the difficulty Of keeping alive the works
of sarly writer's!
1t can never be known what proportion of
the books written before the invention of
printing has been lost, but that we have
much the smaller part left there can be no
doubt. We have no space here even to indi-
cate the various ways in which the writings
of ancient authors have disappeared.
The Chinese Emperor Chi-hoang-ti, in
whose reign the greut wall was built, was so
ambitious to have his name handed down to
posterity as the founder of the Chinese mon
archy that he issued a peremptOry order to
have all books-and there was vast number
of them-and all writings of every descrip
ton, collected and burned by the magistrates
of each district throughout the whole En-
pire. So we'll was the order carried out, that
only the words of Confucius and few other
authors were saved by being hidden behind
the walls and under the floors of different
houses.
Nothing like this is to be fearedin our day,
we may suppose, though motion was made
in the English parliament, about two cent?
ries ago, to destroy the records in the Tower,
and to settle the nation on new fOunda-
ton.
In France, LOO, In the time OF TIE great
revolution Q7S9,) there were men who at
tempted to carry out the same principle.
But the greatest destruction of books has
been caused by wars, national or religious.
or by the two combined. The Persians, from
hatred of the religion of the Phenicians and
the Egyptians, destroyed their books. The
Jews burned the books of the Christians and
the Pagans. The Christians burned the books
of the Pagans and the Jews. The most an.
Gent N MORALS of the Irish people were
completely destroyed by their conquerors
In Mexico, the picture-writings, containing
the early records of that country, shared the
same fate. The first missionaries collected
great numbers of these pictures. and COM
mitted them all to The flames.
Near the middle of the seventh century,
when Alexandria was taken by the Arabs,
the books of the famous library of that city
were distributed to 1000 baths; end such was
the incredible number of volumes that six
were barely sufficient for the con-
of the precious fuel
Two centuries and half earlier, another
famous library was destroyed with the
temple of Scraps, in that same city OF
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1870-07-14

The loss of many library is due to the
Arabs and the Turks. But the Christians too
often followed their example. The library Of
Tripoli. which is said to have contained the
number of 100000 of volumes,
was destroyed by the Crusaders. At the cap
