The Bridgeport, Connecticut, Standard
says that on Tuesday afternoon, the officer
on duty at the depot at that place, receiv-
ed a telegram dated at Norwalk, request
ing him to have minister at the depot on
the arrival of the ? :32 Boston express, as
there was Z couple on the train who want
cd to get married. The telegram was
signed by gentleman well known to the
officer, and upon its receipt he at once set
to work to secure the presence of Il clergy
man at the depot previously to the arrival
of the train.
1t was nearly due, and no time was to
be squandered in the useless ceremony of
trying to save expense The officer called
hack, and, seating himself therein, Or
dered the driver to proceed with all possi-
bic haste to the residence of the Rev. Mr..
wcll-known clergyman He
being absent, another. and finally another,
was sought. At last. the Rev. DIR. -,
was found and hurried off to the depot,
where he had hardly time to compose his
thoughts before the train came thunder
ing along.
While it was yet in motion the author
of the telegram lcaped from the cars, and
running up to officer 4, informed
him that the couple were in the rear car
in waiting.
There was not much time to lose, and
to the rear end of the train the official and
minister sped with almost the celebrity of
light. Arnold entered the car at one
end and DIR. -- at the other. With
solemn tread they proceeded along the
aisle until they met, near the center of the
car.
The doctor scanned til, passengers
closely, and finally inquired of the officer
which the couple we're
81 think this is the COUPLE" said he +,
pointing to a young man and young wo-
man who occupied seat near him. The
clergyman advanced toward them, and in
clear, slow voice, said:
care you the couple who desire to be
married Z"
They made no answer. but appeared to
be utterly confused and dumfounded.-
They turned all sorts of colors, and the
minister began tc think there was a mis-
take somewhere. BY and by the whistle
sounded, and the train left for New Ha-
ven, carrying the lady and gentleman a.
long with it, while the officer and minis
ter stayed behind. The affair was then
explained by the clergyman VINO sent the
telegram, and who had witnessed the
whole joke, as follows:
The couple had attracted a good deal
of attention on the passage, by their affec-
tionate kisses and embraces. and he con-
cluded to play trick on them that would,
perhaps, operate bene6cially; hence the
telegram.
He gave the minister FIVE dollars for
his trouble, and also paid the expense of
the hack, and in that way squared the
joke.

A Smallpox Remedy.

The following statement of correspon-
dent of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald has
been going the rounds of the papers. An
ex-Californian says he has seen it tested
with entire success. We reproduce it,
therefore for what it is worth:
herewith append a recipe which has
been psed to my knowledge, in hundreds
of cases. 1t win prevent or cure the
small pox, though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered cowpox in Eng
land, the world of science hurled an ava
lanche of fame upon his head but when
the most scientific school of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-publisbed this
recipe as panacea for small pox. it pass
ed unheaded. 1t is as unfailing as fate.
and conquors in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by well person.
1t will also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe asI have used it, ana cured
my children Of the scarlet fever; here it is
as I have used it to cure smallpox when
learned physicians said the patient must

Some gifted quill driver ought to take
up the annals of the National Hotel, that
abounds in comic and serious events. For
many, many years it was the headquarters
and grand rendezvous of political pumps,
journalists, and prominent social actors
and actresses of past generations. The
volume of register alone that must be cx-
tant would be as valuable as Patent Office
reports, and as interesting as those of the
Agricultural Bureau. There was time
when Presidents elect went from the Ma
tional to be inaugurated, aud lovely bells
swept through the. parlors captivating
beaux known to the Union. The thought
brings up one Of the last named sort,
whose entrance to ball room was the
ovation to queen-a far girl rom the
West, and at whose feet the so-called
statesman of the day bowed in love that
approached alteration. She married one
of these statesmen, and rival belle, her
superior in wit, but not equal in beauty,
said, commenting upon the event:
"You wonder at the match because you
do not understand it"
What do you mean
Il mean that she married one term in
the Senate"
"Whata small ambition-ouly six years

''Six years make up a woman's social
life. After it is a living tomb i'll n nur
sery and then she has her chances.'
"What do you mean?'
Ibid you never read the story of the
- II
task of making the Pasha's donkey read
the written words of the prophet?''
Never did tell me-"
"The philosopher, like all philosophers,
was poor. At times he was hungry, at
all hours he was ragged. He offered the
Pasha to teach his donkey to read in five
years. But during the difficult task he
was to be clothed in purple and fine linen,
fed on the best and lodged in a palace.
If he failed the penalty was death. One
day ON old friend met him leading forth
the royal donkey to the grove where the
lessons were supposed to be givon and he
said,' Surely you do not expect that ass
to read!' The philosopher, putting his
thumb to his nose, winked one of his
learned eyes and said nothing. But
continued the friend, If you fail at the
end of five years you will surely be
stranglcd.' My friend responded the
philosopher, you forget that in that time
the ass may die These arc the chances.
The Senator may die"

DOME Leave Yeur IIsme.

How many thousands of'people are con-
tinually changing their homesteads, NOV
ing from State to State and place to place,
never satisfied any where, never making,
but always complaining of loss.
They stay on one homestead just long
enough to make improvements that make
it comfortable, then pull up stakes selling
off at a less price than those improvements
actually cost. and moving further to find
that the new home is no more satisfactory
than the old.
Men may whine over hard times in
Georgia, and declare that tie land is too
poor and that we can't make any money
here, but the facts in the case are against
the man rather than the land, and a man
that can't make living and money over,
in Georgia, can't any where.
There arc no lands in or out of Georgia
that will maintain perpetual fertility in
the face of perpetual drainage of its
strength, without any return whateye. to
it.
There is no man living in or out of
Georgia, who can accumulate property if
he be continually selling at a sacrifice
what he has, to move further to do the
same thing.
There can be no Improvements nor or

There exists too much of these spirits
ofrestlcssncss and impatience among the
Amer ican people, and the country bears
the impress of their existence. Nor will
the country ever attain that high degree
of cult ivation, or an interest be felt in its
preservation until the people are more
generally disposed after they get a home

Prepare for Planting Irish Potss-

During the ensuing month of February
potatoes should be planted for an carly
crop. The proper time for preparing the
ground is in this month Break up the
ground at least foot in depth with the
pfow or spade. This exposure of the soil
to the frosts of the month will destroy the
grub worms that are often destructive to
this crop in the spring. In February
pen burrows with the plow or spade at
least ten inches deep, into which put three
of manure, which may be fresh from the
stables or COW pen, if no other be on hand.
Put two or three inches of soil on top of
the manure, when the trenches will be
ready for the tubers Fill up the trench
es and make low ridge on the top of the
potatoes, which will give seven or eight
inches Of soil to protect them FROM frecz-
ing. If the Early Rose be the variety
planted, they will ripen from the last Of
May to the middle of June, when they
may be Immediately planted for second
crop.-Rurdl Soatherner.

The Journey efLifc.

Sidney Smith said, short time before
his death and while on his death-bed:
We talk of human life as journey, but
how variously is that journey performed
There are SOME who come forth girt and
shod and mantle, to walk on velvet lawns
and smooth terraces, where every gale is
arrested and every beam is tempered.
There are others who walk on the Alpine
paths oflife, against driving misery and
through stormy sorrows, over sharp afflic-
tions; walk with bare feet and naked
breast, jaded, mangled and chilled.

A Race for "a Wife.

A Pennsylvania correspondent writes (:
"a very courtable widow was young
lady of Washington. Penn. She became
engaged to a yourg man named Robert
- in 1861. Her father, however, OBJ
jected to this match with one of his clerks,
and when the youthful girl received a
tempting proposabfrom wealthy suitor,
the paternal influence perfected a marriage
despite the previous engagement. In less
than three months her husband was killed
by kick from horse. Robert was a
second time suitor, but delayed the i'm
portsnt question until fifteen months had
elapsed, when, to his horror, she informed
him that she was engaged. In three
months thereafter she was married.
Two years elapsed when the married
couple removed to Syracuse, N. Y, where
among the victims of the cholera, when
the pestilence swept that city, was the
second. Robert again sought her hand
and when year had elapsed was on the
eve of declaration, when 10 he received
an invitation to her wedding! Her late
husbands business was found in such 9
state that to avoid immense losses she re-
moved with her third husband to Detroit
Michigan. a few years elapsed wher
herself and husband were on steamer
that was wrecked near Buffalo. The hus
band perished and wife escaped solely
through the excrtions of friend who wa.
ON board. His gallantry inspired such
sentiments in her breast that she married
her brave preserver few months after
her third widowhood.
The happy pair moved to Pittsburg
where her husband was engaged in mer
camille business. Thither Robert, still
cherishing his first love, followed them
One day as he was passing the door of the
husbands store he saw a terrible commo
ton. Rushing in he beheld the mangled
corpse of that gentleman on the floor A
tierce of rice being hoisted to an upper
story had fallen through the traps, killing
him instantly. Anxiously Robert inquired
if any one had been sent to inform hi:
wife. and was told that the book-keepei
had just gone Robert started for Allie.
gheuy City, where the deceased had re.
sided, at the top of his speed. The book.
keeper was just ahead of him, and from
past experience, knowing the value o
prompt action. and apprehending that the
clerk had designs on the widow, he ran fol
dear life, side by side.
The race continued until they reached
Hand Street Bridge. when the clerk
obliged to stop and pay the toll, while

WHAT sunshine is to flowers, smiles
arc to humanity. They are trifcs, to be
sure, but, scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivablc. A
smile accompanied by kind word has
been known to reclaim a poor outcast.
and change the whole current of a human
life. Of all life's blessings none are
cheaper, or more easily dispensed, than
smiles. Then let us not be too chary of
them, but scatter them freely as we go :;
for life is too short to be frowned away.
