The Initiative of this movement, in
fact, was taken nearly a year ago; but it
has only been within the last few weeks
that the negotiations seemed to promise
success. The courtship was protracted
partly by the coquettry of one party
and the bashfulness of the other; but
every obstacle has now been overcome,
and have reason to believe that the
banns will be published about the mid
die Of the coming week. The old form
ula which concludes the publication of

Joined in holy matrimony you are here

will be responded to by voices from
every section of the liberal party. The
CONSERVATION Of the Republican party
in the United States, should they see the
negro vote about to go over boldly to
the Democratic ranks, could not be
greater than the dismay which shall
fall upon Mr. Gladstone and bis tail of

Adroitly Hit.

A correspondent of the Heralf
and Presbytsr, writing from Mime
aota. tells the following, "! hav,
picked up a little story which
think 90 good reproof for distur'
bers OF the peace in churches to b'
lost. A presiding elder Of the Uni
ted Brethren Church was preaching
in this same neighborhood, and was
much annoyed by persons talking
and laughing. he paused, lookeda'
the disturbers, and said, I am always
afraid to reprove those who misbe
have in church. In the early part
of my ministry 1 made great mis-
take. As I was preaching, a young
man who sat just before me was con.
stantly laughing and making uncouth
grimaces. paused and administer
ed a severe rebuke. After the close
of the service, one Of the official
members came and said to me, Broth
er--, you made a great mistake,
That young man whom you reproved
is an idiot. Since then / have al
ways been afraid to reprove those who
misbehave in church, lest / should
repeat that mistake, and reprove
another idiot. During the rest Of
that service, at least, there was good
order"

An Enterprising Agent.

An enterprising travelling agent
for a well-known Cleveland tomb
stone mandatory. recently made a
visit to n srha1s6wn ina neighbor-
ing countysg HearingSe village
that a man in remote part Of the
township had lost his wife, he
thought he would go and see him,
and offer him consolation and grave
stone, on his usual reasonable terms.
He started; the road was horribly
frightful one, but the agent persever-
ed, and arrived atthe bereaved man 2
house. The bereaved mans hired
girl told the agent that the bereaved
man was sph8ting 5eneeirails over in
the pasture, about two miles. The
indefatigable agent mounted his horse
and started for the pasture. After
falling into all manner Of mud holes,
scratching himself with briars, and
tumbling over ,decayed.'ologs, the
agent found the bereaved man. In
a subdued voice he asked the man II
he had lost his wife. The man said
he had. The agent was very sorry
to hear it, and sympathized very
deeply with the man in his great
sorrow; but death, he said, was an
insatiate archer, and shot down all,
of both h. j and low degree, dc
informed the man that what was
his loss was her gain, and would be
glad to sell him a grayestone to mark
the spot where the loved one slept
marble or common stoye, as ne chose,
at prices defying competition, The
bereaved man said there was a slight
difficulty in the way. ~
Haven't you lost your wife 2? In

CARD.

Having become satisfied after thorough investi-
cation that Elastic Sponge,as now and lately man
ufactured if one of the best of all the substitutes
for curled hair, for many if not most uses in up
holstery, we have accepted the Agency Of it, and
intend to make it heseafter speciality in our bus
iness. The objections which have been made to
it and which It is well known We ourselves have
thought we were well founded, we have ascertain
ed cannot be urged against the article as now per-
fected. The process of manufacture has been en-
tirely remodeed under the advice and supern-
tendence of one of the most eminent chemists of
New England. New chemical and mechanical
appliances have been introduced in cleansing crude
Sponge, and to charging it with glycerine with
such entire success, that Elastic Sponge may now
be said to be chemically pure. There is absolute
ly nothing in it but the clean fiber Of Sponge and
chemically pure glycerine.
The objection to Elastic Sponge being thus re-
moved there remain its undsputed merits which
certainly entities it to be considered one of the
most valuable as it is one of the most curious and
intereftng of laie discoveries. Chief among these
merits is.that it is proof against moths-the great
scourgc of the business, against all other in
sects. Then its elasticity is permanent based as
it is upon the non-evaperable property of glycer-
inc and the indestrutructbly of sponge fiber. We
have always been satisfied upon these two points
which are the essential requisites in such mater
ials. The evidence is now equally clear that it il
wholesome and sweet. 1t is certainly light and
soft, easy to manipulate, and cheap enough for al
except the lowest class of goods, For the cush
ioning of Churches Theaters, Public Halls, Rail
way Stations, Omnibusses, Carriages, Steam and
Horse Cars and the like, it will probably be founC
everything considered, the best article in usc.-
For all uses, and especially for Bedding, we ar,
now prepared to recommend the public to gv'
| il fair trial as ourselves intend to do. W,
are ready also to answer inquiries, make estima
ties and take orders for every description of worl
in Sponge as well as to supply the trade the arti

The EXPLORATIONS AT JERUsALEM-
The first operations were commenced on
the western wall at point near what is
known as Wilson's Arch 1t receives
this name from the fact that it was first
discovered by Captain Wilson, who had
not the means, however, to prosecute any
mining operations. Captain Warren's
explorations proved this arch to be one
of a series forminga viaduct which led
from the Temple toward the palace of
Herod on the western hill. and consttut-
ing perhaps the very bridge across which
Jesus was conducted from Plate to IIerod
on the day Of his trial. The remains of
a winding aqueduct, cut in the solid rock
beneath this bridge, were also discovered
Part OF this bridge has fallen, and broken
and buried the aqueduct in its fall and
the original pavement of the ancient road
in tie valley itself is now forty-fvc feet
below the present surface formed by the
ruins Of the ancient walls and houses.
Nor is this all. A perfect network of
subterranean chambers was also disclosed,
some Of which were probably used for
the storage of food, and others as aqueducts
and cisterns. And the whole result more
than confirms the ideas of Jewish archi-
tectural grandeur which the books of the
Bible and the pages of .Joscphus combn-
ed to give, but which have hitherto been
regarded by many skeptica minds IL,
apocryphal.
Along the southern wall his discoveries
were scarcely less interesting. Here he
found a double pavement, one twenty,
three, the other forty-three feet below the
present surface of the ground. Here alsC
he found some curious remains both o
Hebrew and Of Christian origin. Tn,
following description of his exploration
at this point, taken from one of his Letters
written at the time, will afford the read

ties and dangers which attend his investi
cations than can be given by any genera

N MN W. W. HUMAN
Tread lightly, speak softly,
And look where she lies,
With pearly lids shading
The sunny blue eyes;
With tender lips flushed
In their dreaming apart,
A glow on the brow
And smile on the heart
Her presence is morning
And evening delight,
charm in our home
Mid the gloom of the night
In her, life hath beauty
No care can alloy,
And Faith for the future
Hath garlands of joy.
She seemeth an angel
With bright pinions furie',
Abiding awhile mid
The woes Of the world.
And trembling with gladne',
And fear, we enfold
Our beautiful darling
Just half year old
Oh radiant spirit,
BY sin undefiled,
There is nothing so holy
On earth as a child,
And rings from the past
Like a voice DER the sea
His message, who sayeth
Still, "Come unto Me"
A birding of beauty
Unfedged in the nest,
When the wine in loves chalice
Is richest and best
A flower in youths garden.
A treasure untold,
We name thee, our iirst-born,
Just half n year old
Thine eyes have looked into
The problem of life,
Thy feet touched its intricate
Pathway of strife.
Thy throbbing heart wakenei
The sorrow to know
That hides meath the bliss
Of immortals below.
II lerNent our prayer
To the Holy should be,
From all sadness and care
Be thy young spirit free"
In sadness He'd gather
Again to his fold
The pet lamb we cherish
Just half a year old.
Then slumber, oh sweetiy
In innocence now,
While stainless and pure
Is the snow of the brow,
Dream on undisturbed
Till the morning bells chime.
Then wake to fill wisely
Thy measure of time
Not earth fame or power
We crave for the sweet,
But pure soul and white
For the shining throne meet
And with loves lullaby
Shall the fond hope be told
For our beautiful darling
Just half year old.

THE PILGRIM FATHERS.

THE PILGRIM FATHERS.
They were mon of giant soul
Men of faith and deeds sublime
Men whose acts will reach their goal
In the mighty depths of time
They resi- gned, at Gods behest
Kindred, home, their father sraves-
Pilgrims DER the oceans crest,
Mid the thunder Of it. wave.
Here-where pathless forests irownei,
Wailing torrents rolled their foam,
Wolves and wild-men prowlcd around
Rose their aliars and their home.
What To- them were stately shrines,
Gorgeous dome, or towering spire
Meath their sturdy oaks and pines
Rose their anthems, winged with fire.
When oppression reached the coast
With the tyrants purpose flushed,
They to perirs deadliest post
For their God and rushed.
As the steep volcano throws
From its burning breast the rock,
They oerthrew their coumned foes,
In the battlns fiery shock.
All that consecratcs their fame,
All that sanctifes our hearth,
Al that freedom here can claim;
In their noble minds had birth.
By their dead, on Bunker's stecpl
By their bones, in Monmouths plains
We their fairh and trust will keep,
While their blood rolls in our veins,
