Early Morning.

Somebody who has taken the trouble to
rise early in the morning imparts to the
independent some very interesting facts
n regard 30 that portion of the day. He
says: From four O'Clock till seven there
is period as distinct from day as is the
time from SIX in the evening until ten.
Most persons understand the meaning of
evening but morning means no more
than polnt--a mere time to get up and
dress for the day. But decided v the
richest, most marked part of lbe day
the fullest of unique joys, songs, and sug-
gestions in the morning. Thomas Fl Her
lis it = says: "Do not spoil Thy morn
ing the quintessence If the day. in recrea-
uons." That is it exactly-the quintes-
sence. Aoout four of an August morning
the great wave of bird-song reaches YOU.
Where 1t starts ] don't know Probably
on the shores of the Atlantic, with reed
blrCs; but 1t always com with the sun -,
from the East. At first you hear one in
quiring note, away down he valley; after
d little, another sleepy twill, then another
and another, keener, fuller, wide awake,
joyful until the valley is rocking and
rolling with tide of song. And all the
while he is drawing nearer. A robin
shouts in the elm over the roof; the tide
dashes and flows over you on, on to the
Pacific. Fer half an hour every bird in
all your world is half crazed with inspira
ton pouring forth the exquisit rcythm of
his being In hailelujah chorus. And
then theperfume ana purity of the air
Il has an od9r neither Of n ght nor of day :;
But the dew seems to hold in solution
those peculiar honeysuckle odors that are
never emitted till night.

MARRYING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

ingular Ceremonies on the Occasion
OF civil Marriage Between a jew
tni,u ~ christian Lady at Thorn, West
The following account of civil mar
J'aga between a Jew and a Christian
lady,as taken from Posen newspaper,
will no doubt prove interesting to the
lover of the new and sensational:
"A few days ago, marriage was
concluded in our town unlike any
which has ever taken place. The con
tracing parties were a Jew and a
Christian, and the marriage was sol
emnized without any change of reli-
gion on the part of either.
That the marriage might take place
by civil act before a Court, may be
easily understood, but in order to rem
der the Court competent inits perform
ance OF this act, the lady was obliged
to appear, in company with her father,
before the Judge, and there declare her
intention to be no longer a member of
the Evangelical State Church, and to
sign a protocol to that effect. About
a fortnight afterward a Protestant Cler
gyman visited the lady by order of the
Court, endeavoring by reproaches and
exhortations to change her intentions.
The minister undoubtedly knew before
hand that these would be en-
tirely in vain, for the Young
lady was well educated, able to think
for herself, and was also possessed of
an energetic will. She was also per-
fectly convinced at her first DECLARE
4lon OF the propriety of her conduct,
and was unlikely to be moved by any
any words whose purport she had be
fore well considered. Her religious
views had undergone no change what
ever; she merely cast aside the barrier
which unhappily prohibits marriage
Of a member of the so-called State
Church with Jew, barrier which is
not at all upheld by any word of Christ.
Four weeks after this ministerial
exhortation he lady was again obliged
to appear before the Court, and to re-
peat her first declaration, which was
then accepted and endorsed on the rec
ords. After the intention of both to
enter into the state of matrimony had
been publicly announced by a legal
notice for the specified time, the legal
act of recognition and proclamation of
the marriage took place in the presence
Of both their parents AMI other wit
nesses. 4 celebration at the house of
the bride then followed, in which
neither a Protestant nor Jewish min
lister took part A touching address
was, no Eever, delivered by one of the
brides relatives, SO that all present
we're deeply moved, and no one missed
the ministerial blessing. Perhaps this
case may serve to convince certain cir
cles of the absurdity of many clerical
demands, especially IN the line of mar
riage."
The same gentleman, having lived in
New York, was requested to procure a
certificate from a minister in this city,
which should also be certified by the
Consul, to the effect that no impedi-
ment existed here to prevent his mar
riage in Prussia, but the authorities,
on learning that this could not be done,
were satisfied with the Consul's Ger
tifcate that no such impedlment was
known to exist.

HOW to Pluck pnuItrU

That farmer whose poultry is not troub-
led with the gapes that has not been visited
with the chicken cholera, knows what it is
to prepare forty or fifty chickens for
market since 'he practice Of scalding has
teen vetoed by the buyers. I have Known
persons on market day to go out and kill a
dozen or fifteen at time and bring Them
into room where there would be half a
dozen women and boys pulling a few
feathers at time between finger and
thumb to prevent tearing them. Now for
the benefit of such | give our plan: Hang
the fowl by the feet by small cord then
with small knife give one cut across the
upper jaw, opposite the corners of the
mouth; alter the blood has stopped run.

quivering of the muscles; now is your

magic, and there is no danger of tearing

to flap, you can have him as bare as the
day he came out of the egg. The wise

Onenn Victoria.

Queen Victoria puts on no airs, but
some people have been reluctant to
meet her from want of familiarity
with the forms of speech which Ell
quette directs them to observe. They
have a notion that the words, "Your
Majesty" must often be used, and per-
haps they dislike the phrase. Such
persons, when their impressions be-
come known, are assured by friendly
officials that the Queen prefers the
term of Madame"-not unseldom alb

know her-to any other mode of adj
dress. The favored interviewer may
use these words, g Your Majesty" in

The Whip of tile Sky.

BY 7. G. A.
Weary with travel, charmed with home.
The youth salutes New England's air:
Nor notes, within the azure dome.
A vigilant, menacing figure there.
Whose thonged hand swings
A whip which sings
Step, step, STEP sings the whip of the sky
Hurry up, move along, you can if YOU try y
Remembering Como's languid side,
Where, pulslng from the citron deep,
The nightengae's aerial tide
Floats through the day, repose and sleep
Reclines in groves,
A voice repropes.
Step, step, step, cracks the whip of the sky;
" Hurry up, jump along, rest when you die!'
Slave of electric viii which strips
From him the bliss Of easeful hours
And bids, as IRON a tyrant's lips,
Rest quiet, fly, as useless flowers,
He wrings his heart
To make it smart.
Step, step, step, snaps the whip of the sky !;
Hurry up, race along, rest when You die ~
He maddeGs in the breathless race,
Nor misses splendor, place, or pelf;
And only loses in the chase
The hunted lord of all-himself
His gain is loss,
His treasure dross,
Step, step, step, mocks the whip Of the sky
Hurry up, limp along, rest when you die !"
With care he burthens all his soul;
Heaped lngots curve his wiling back;
Submissive to that fierce control,
He needs at last the sky-whips crack
Fill at the grave
No more a slave
Rest, rest, rest, signs the whip of the sky
Hurry no, haste no more, rest when you diel'
old and NelD.

Wintering Vegetables.

1t Is one thing to raise good crop of
vegetables, but quite another to keep safely
through winter 1t is, doubtless, the fact
that more vegetables are injured by heat
In winter than by cold, because most per-
sons crowd such things together in large
quantities, and then cover deeply to keep
out the frost. When placed in cellars, the
windows are closed, and in the more
Northern States, banked up with, perhaps
fresh horse manure from the stable. of
course it is necessary to keep potatoes, tur-
nips, bees, and similar roots from freezing ;
still they would be of far better quality if
kept as cold as possible, aud not actually
frozen. Turnips and beets, in particular
are very liable to heat, and become spoile
ifa large quantity is placed together and
potatoes are often injured by being stored
in large bins, instead of being put in barrels
or spread thinly upon shelves in dark
cellar. When buried in the ground in small
heaps, say twenty to thirty bushels in each,
is best. Rural New Yorker.

Twilight Music.

BY MILTON H. MARBLE.
When the sunset comes in splendor,
Painting up the western sky,
And sweet twilight in the valley
Hats, and hardly dares come nigh,
Till the sun has fur ther vanished
Then I love to sit. and hear
Music floating on the breezes,
From the happy angel sphere!
Then each star from out the heavens,
In the bright blue azure sky,
Gazing down upon me, seemeth
But an angels radiant eve.
So with hearing, and with seeing,
Almost do [ seem to stand
just inside the golden gateway
OF the happy spirit landl
But as thicker grows the darkness,
Warning me to sleep and rest,
Homeward do I wend my footsteps,
Feeling, oh So richly blest,
That the world is full of beauty,
e-below-aboye;
And if we but do our duty,
Would it not be full of love?
