ANECDOTES OF RATS The following
curious anecGote furnishes anather instance
of the occasional confidence of animals in
others which they are supposed 10 regard
generally as their natural enemies: "Sume

and the next day placed the trough in

A MARR1AcE UNprR DIrrIoULr1rs

A MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFICULTIKs -
Last Saturday evening marriage was TO
have taken place between an employee of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and
"a maiden faire' employed at one OF oar
hotels. The landlord, getting wind of the
affair, intsrposed bis authority, and con-
fined 'ye maiden to a room IN the upper
story of the hostelrie. When We gallant
groom arrived upon the scene, fully ar
rayed in gorgeous habiliments, We stern
landlord denied him admittance, and
swore by ye great ''Mahoun" that ys ladye
he should not wed. Nothing daunted, our
hero retired for meditation, when the
plaintive wall of ye hapless maiden at
tracted his attention. Casting his Lars
board eye aloft, he took in the situation at
glance, and, resolving with the courage
of "Bayard," to rescue her or perish in
the attempt, he, with the assistance of
ssme bystanders, procured ladder, and.
mounting to the exPectant fair one, clasped
her in his arms and descended amid the
plaudits of the crowd. A procession was
formed, headed by eye noble pair who
took up the line Of march for the parson 5,
where, in an evil hour, ye unfortunate
man said the words which made him free
no more -EpStoH Erpress.

showed that his virtues and talents were
no less fitted 10 rule over an extensive
diocese than an obscure country village.
But the end was not yet; further distinc-
lions awaited The good "Monsieur lie
Cure" In course of time the Archbish-
opric of Bordeaux fell vacant, and he was
immediately chosen for that See ..-
And now, in conclusion, we have only
to give his name-it is Donnet, a name
well known beyond the limits of his epis4
copal charge. Yes, ;he hero of this true
sketch, the village cure who was SO ready
to give his life for bis sheep, bacama in
succession Bishop Of Nancy, Archbishop
of Bordeaux, Senator of France, and Car

her. And my rifle, too my old favorite
riie-dream gave you that too p
Yes, me dream rifle too"
'Well, if you dreamt it, why suppose
you must take that too, but it's very sins

So the white man gave them all into

him to tarry with him one night more,
In the morning the white man said TO
the Indian:

''No, did you p
''Yes, but did though; / dreamed
that you gave me all the land between
