SENTENCED TO MARRIAGR-A case recently
tried before the ClOnmel (Irish) Assizes was
brought TO singular and novel termination by
the pres ding judge. The parties in the case
were young man and young woman. both of
whom claimed possession of a rural property
one by virtue Of an ancient lease, and the other
under will. They were in court for the pur-
pose Of giving their testimony, when a bright
idea occurred 20 the judge, who interrupted the
case TO say: at just strikes me that there Is a
pleasant and easy way to terminate this law suit
The plaintiff appears TO be a respectable Young
man, and this a very nice young woman.
Laughter. They can both get married and
live happy on this farm. IL they go on with law
proceedings il will be all frittered AWAY between
the lawyers, who, am sure, are not ungallant
enough TO wish the marriage may not come or,
The young lady, on being Intercepted, blushed
and said she was quite willing 20 marry the
plaintiff The latter, on being asked IL he would
wed the young woman, CALAMITY responded,
Most undoubtedly" The judge remarked that
the suggestion occurred TO him BY instinct on
seeing the young couple. A verdict was subse-
quently entered for plaintiff ON condition OF his
promise TO marry defendant within two months.

Value of the Signal Service.

The Gloucester Advertiser says:
"Not long since, on perfectly clear
day, with clear sky, about fifty ves-
sells were seen lying at anchor in one
of our harbors, on account of COM
ing storm predicted by the weather
bureau. How many lives were saw
ed by this prediction it is impossi-
BILE to say, but one such occurrence
alone is sufficient to Justify all the
expense the Government has in
CURED in establishing and maintai1-
ing the service. It has been clearly
shown that, if we had a cable COM
munication with the Island of St.
Thomas and a signal station there,
we should have known of the cy-
clones recent visit to the Florida
coasts three days in advance of its
coming, and most of the vessels
which encountered it would have
taken refuge in some harbor. The
service, as it is already organized, is
of incalculable advantage to farmers
and seafarers."

The Bible Grows with One.

Spurgeon says: If you come to
the Holy Scripture with growth in
grace and with aspirations for yet
higher attainments, the book grows
with you. 1t is ever beyond you,
and cheerily cries, "Higher yet, Ex-
celsior!" Many books in my Ii
brary are now behind and beneath
me! 1 read them years ago with
considerable pleasure; 1 have read
them since with disappointment; [
shall never read them again, for
they are of no service to me. They
were good in their way once, and
80 were the clothes I wore when I
was ten years old; but 1 have out
grown them-I know moro than
these books now, and I know
wherein they are faulty. Nobody
ever outgrows Scripture; the book
widens and deepens with our years
1t is true it can not really grow, for
it is perfect but it does so to our
apprehension. The deeper you dig
into Scripture, the more you find
that it is great abyss of truth. The
beginner learns four or five points
of orthodoxy, and says, 81 under,
stand the Gospel; l have grasped al
of the Bible" Wait a bit, and when
his soul grows and knows more Of
Christ, he will confess. "Thy com
mandment is exceedingly broad
have only begun to understand it. ,

A married. woman in San Fran
cisco has lately been trying to make
prodigal son of herself. She ran
away with another man, and, after
enjoying a season of good time, hel
paramour sloped, and she suddenly
came to her senses. She resolved to
go right back to her husband, and
tell him just how mean the fellow
had used her. She saw no signs ol
a fattened calf being killed, but, on
the contrary, there was wedding
going on at the house. Her hus
band had obtained a divorce, and
was taking another chance in the
lottery of life. She says she has lost
all faith in these men-just as soor
as you leave them for a little while
they will get mad.

He Would Have a Bull Dog

There is man in Darby, Pa, who
purchased bulldog, which he pro.
posed to turn loose in his store at
night in order to scare away burg
lars. The first evening after he OBJ.
tanned possession of the animal he
locked it in the store and went away
a happy man. The next morning.
early, he went around to the store
and unlocked the door. The dog
was vigilant-the man was surpris-
ed TO perceive how exceedingly Wig
liant the dog was-for no sooner
was ths door open than the dog
seized his owner by the leg, sudden
ly, and seemed to be animated by
an earnest and vigorous resolution
not to let go until it had removed
at least one good mouthfnl. And
the man pushed the dog back and
shut the door on its ribs until the
the animal relaxed its jaws; and
then the man kicked the dog into
the store and shut the door as if he
was in hurry to do something.
Then he suspended business for a
week, and spent the vacation firing
at that dog through the windows,
and down the chimney, and up
through the cellar-ceiling, with a
shotgun, trying to exterminate
him. And that mercantile estab-
lishment did not open for trade un-
til the man had paid twice the first
cost of the dog to the dogs former
owner to come and take it home;
and then, when he got in, he found
that during the bombardment holes
had been shot through mackerel
barrels and molasses cans and coal
oil kegs, SO that there was misery
and ruin everywhere. Dogs have
no more charms for this man; and
if you allude in his presence to the
noble work that is being done by the
wOman's branch of the society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
that merchant is always observed to
rise upand swear.-[Springfield Re.
