the change.
"Hullo!" said Jed; "where did
You get tbet?"
"Why do you ask" said the
Deacon.
because it isn't worth schucks,1
replied Jed. ''Who did you get
it from9r
From DR.. Dumpley, at the fair
Iast night"
He must be INDUSTRIOUS poor
judge of money" said Jed.
The Deacon took out another
bill, which Jed. said was worse
than the first, and still another,
which was pronounced no better
than the last. In short, all the
Deacon's winnings had been paid
in the same coin. Telling Jed. to
"charge the groceries, he set off
at full speed for Mr.. Mellowtint's
Observation-Disclosures"
he painted boiling into Mr.. Mel
lowtint's study without knocking.
''He hasn't come down yet"
said the parson, visibly surprised
at his visitors appearance,
|I-I-I-must-s s-S.ee m
right away" pulled and sputtered
the Deacon.
A servant dispatched to the
Doctors room, speedily returned
with the answer that
Nobody wasn't dar!"
A note was fonud, however, in
which the Doctor explained chat
unforeseen circumstances had ne.
cesSitated his taking an early de-
parture; and that, not wishing to
disturb the family, he had taken
that method of expressing the
hope that some future occasion
might afford him the opportunity
of personally rendering his wor-
thy host, and the good people of
Wattlebury, his most sincere and
heartfelt thanks, etc., etc.
The other winners at the Doc
tors game, we need scarcely say,
found their money on a par with
the Deacon's.
The last heard of the Doctor
was through Bob Blye, who saw
him playing "pokern on IL MjSsis-
sippi steam boat. His history, as
BOB CLEANED it, was briefly this:
At the time the blacElegs were
run out of Vicksburg-now thirty
odd years ago-the ''Doctor" kept
gaming-house there, which was
burnt down by the citizens, its
proprietor being furnished with a
travelling suit of tar and feathers.
and free conveyance from the
city by rail, without a return tick
ct. How he found his way ia
Wattlebury, and took the initiate
~ step toward retrieving his for
tunes, we have seen.

HY1IEN's ..SELL."-It was the
custom in Babylon, five hundred
years before the Christian era, to
have annually an auction of the
unmarried ladies. In every year
on a certain day. each district
assembled all its virgins of marri-
ageable ages. The most beaati-
full was put up first, and the man
who paid the highest price gained
possession of her. The second in
personal charms followed her, and
so on, so that the bidders might
crafty themselves with handsome
wives according to the length of
their purses. There may yet re-
main in Babylon some for whom
no money was offered, but the
Babylonians managed that. When
all the comely ones are sold the
crier orders the most deformed
one to stand up, and after de-
handing who will marry her for a
small sum she is adjudged to him
who is satisfied with the least

so a fair was agreed upon.
We will pass over the prelimi-
naries. The reader can readily
imagine them. As on most SINH
Lar occasions, before the eVentful
evening came, half the ladies in
the town had ceased to be on
speaking terms with the other
half; while more than one case of
head-punching had been serious
ly imminent among their respec-
tive partiSanS of what is in gram
mar, but nowhere else, the ''wor-

resigned. Vows to s'have nothing
more to do with it, were made by
the score. But, at the last mo-
ment, all differences were recon
ciled, and the fair epenes1 with
great ecldt, and everybody in good
humor. .
Here, again, we mast beg to
draw on the readers experience.
There were post-offices, kept by
pretty post mistresses, where they
charged you a dollar for letter it
was worth twice that to read /;
"grab- bags" from which you got
a grab, and nothing else, for fifty
cents; "luck- cakes" with twenty
five cent rings in them, sold at a
dollar a slice; and every other
species of similar fraud.

The Demand of America
More Marriages and More
Economy.

Extravagant habits and extrav-
agant notions as to what is essen
tial in the mode of living are
working rapid Generalization
among the American people
Young men and women are no
longer content to marry early,
from pure love, aud begin life to-
gether at the foundation, and
gradually work their way up TO-
gether. Nowadays they must
either commence their married
life on scale of expenditure and
magnificense which it isimpossible
for them to maintain--in other
words, they must begin at the top,
and build down-ormarriage must
be postponed to a late day, and
until the spring time of life is all
passed.
This is not well for individuals,
and it is not well for the country.
The ideas on which it is based are
all unsound. Costly trosseaus and
diamonds do not make happy
brides or happy wives. The in
tense passion for show, which
seems to be all prevailing, is one
of the lightest Of all the foibles
that can beset the human nature.
1t affords no real, solid, enduring
qualification, when INDUCED to the
fullest extent. HIt is all vanity
eSclaims the pampered wife, who
has vainly sought for happiness
in luxury and ostentation.
Early marriages and families Of
rosy checked children; the true
satisfaction of an honest, though
hard earned livelihood the enjoy
ment of constant heartfelt sympa.
thy; all the sweetnesses of domeS
tic life these are better than the
few, the long postponed, the cold
" calculated and snowy matches
which are rapidly becoming the
fashion of the day.
