A MARRIAGE CERTIFIcATE.-Dea
Swift was walking on the Phoenix, road
Dublin, when thunder-shower came on,
and he took refuge under tree where
a party were sheltering also,-two young
women and two young men. One of the
girls looked very sad, till as the rain fell
her tears fell. Inc Dean, inquiring the
cause, learned that it was their wedding
day; they we're on the way to church,
and now her white clothes were wet and
she couldn't go. Never mind, I'll
marry you," said the Dean, and took out
his pray erbook, and then, and there mar
ried them, their witness being present.
To make the thing complete, he tore a
leaf out of his pocket-book, and with
his pencil wrote and signed certificate,
which he handed to the bride. 1t was
as follows:
"Under tree. in stormy weather,
married this man and woman together;
Let none but Him " ho rules the thunder
Saver this man and woman ssander,"

Phil Sheridan's Pass.

The following poem was suggested to the author
by the inhuman conduct of a Mississippi steamboa
captain Ueathers) who refused to honor the pass is
sued by Phil Sheridan to lady and family who wer,
bereft of everything by the late fire:
+" Say Capt there's girl a eryin' below
kind of citifed lass.
With couple o kids at her side in tow
And bogus sort OF pass.
She says she's come from the city of flames.
That they call the Queen of the West,
An she looks like one of your high-bOrn danes,
Though she amt very grandly dressed.
half believe she's lady bred
An telling the gospel truth.
Phil Sheridan signed the pass himself,
An its hard when you think of her youth.
told her thought you'd take her through.
Though it wasn't in the regular way
If you don't, why doesn't know what she'll do.
For she hasn't a dime to pay,
Go down below with your maudlin trash,
And tell her to pack her stuff;
If she wants to ride she must pass the cash,
Or I'll put her ashore at the bluff
Phil. Sheridan don't write pass for me;
He did me dirty trick
And if all the North were down at sea,
l wouldn't throw EN- stick.
I'm glad to think their time has come
To taste of the scorching blaze,
For don't forget old Sheridans march,
AS a thing OF by-gone days.
III honor no pass from Yankee cuss,
'Cept ii carries the holder TO hi;
So put her ashore, without further fuss
When / give you tap o. the bell.
Well; Cap'n, l know you're the boss aloat.
An it amt for me to say,
But take your stamps from that twenty note
And let the poor woman stay.
An hope when yejump on the heaven bound craft
And the minister tickets you through
That the boss of the boat, when he comes abaft
Won't say that yer pass won't do.

INSECT MUsIC.-The chirping and
singing of the cricket and grasshopper
are frequently spoken of; but they do
not sing g-they fiddle. By rubbing wings
and legs together-each in a manner Pc
culiar to the species-these insects pro-
duce the sounds which characterize them.
Perhaps our best instrumental performer
is the " Katy-did." Each wing contains
little tambourine. aud by the opening
and shutting of the wings these are ruiz
bed against each other, and produce the
sound of katy-did-she-did," which can
be heard at long distance, and gives the
insect its name.

"Come and Dine"

At the Christmas Festival of the Bap-
tist Sunday school, Grafton, one of the
members of Dea. p. w. Deans class,
Miss A. p. Walker. contributed the fol-
lowing poem. 1t was read by the super
intendent just before the generous COLA
tion was served. Its poetic beauty, chris
tian spirit. and rare appropriateness
prompted the desire for its publication
and general perussl. Miss. w is al
ready known to your readers as writer
of verses richly favored with the aroma
of nature, and revealing deep knowl-
edge OF the inner life of the soul hid
with Christ in God
Jesus saith unto them. come and dine."-John

Fathers. with your hoary hair,
Mothers. with your toll worn hands,
Youths and maidens free from care,
Little ones in rosy bands
Gathered at our Christmas shrine
For love feast, come and dine.
While these viands we partake
May our souls with grace be fed,
May the blessed Master break
For us each the Living Bread.
May we heed the call divine.
Sin-starved children, come and dine.
Christ prepares the gospel feast
All may taste its JOY who will,
From the greatest to the least
Come and welcome. eat your fill.
He who gave His life for thine.
Now invites you. come and dine.
Starving prodigal, come home;
On the husks too long you've fed.
In your Fathers house there's room
And the feast for you is spread;
Leave sins husks and filthy swine.
Famished wanderer. come and dine.
Come ye needy, come ye poor,
Without money come and buy,
In Gods grace is ample store.
He will all your need supply.
Satisfy each want of thine,
Jesus bids you. come and dine.
Come. whate'er your burden be.
Too much gold or too much dross.
Starved with worldly vanity.
He. who bore for you the cross.
Gave His precious life for thine.
Bids you welcome come and dine.

THE Moon UNINHABITABLE.-B
here the question is naturally suggested
whether our moon, which is but 250000
miles from US, ought not first TO be ex-
amined for signs of lite, or, at least, Of
being fitted for the support of life. When
the telescope was first invented, it is GER
tain that astronomers were more hopeful
10 recognizing such signs in the moon
than in any other celestial body. AS tele-
scopes OF greater and greater power were
constructed, our satellite was searched
with more and more eager scrutiny.
And many long year elapsed before as
tronomers would accept the conclusion
that the moon s surface is wholly unified
for the support of any of those forms of
life with which we are familiar upon earth.
They know that if our satellite has an
atmosphere at all, that atmosphere must
be so limited in extent that no creatures
We are acquainted with could live in it
They know she has no oceans, seas, riv-
ers or lakes, neither clouds nor rains, and
that if she had, there would be no winds
to watt moisture from place TO place, or
10 cause the clouds to drop fatness upon
the lunar fields They know, also that
the moons surface is subjected alternate
ly to cold far more intense than that
which binds our arctic regions in ever
lasting frost, and to heat compared
with which the fierce noon of tropical
day is as the freshness of spring morn
ing. They search only over the lunar
disc for the signs of volcanic action, feel
ing we'll assured that no traces of The ex-
istence of living creatures will ever be
detected in that desolaie orb.-IAe Corn

of them quite equal in every high quality to
