A Marrirge--with Spare Ribs.

Two young people of the previnc,
of Languedoc loved each other ten
derby; but mOney-the eternal enc
my of love-opposed itself to theil
happiness.
The father of Mademoiselle Vic
torine refused to give her to tn,
youthful Paul, whose affection was
his sole property.
Despairing of softening the ole
man, the two lovers, who were In
no humor to wait, resolved to fly

nesses, who were appraised of the
time and place where the meeting
of the lovers and their fight would
occur.
However, in spite of all her exer-
tions, the young lady was not able
to attend at the appointed time; the
witnesses grew impatient, and went
on, and when the two arrived out
OF breath, upon the scene, they
found the place deserted.
What should be done?
M. Paul conducted his well-be-
loved to farm house at q little dis
lance, and then ran off in search of
fresh witnesses.
1t was just day-break when the
lover reached the suburbs of Paris.
BY good fortune an individual
came along, and Paul advanced to-
wards him.
''Sir," said he, $50 you like aloy-
aux (spare-ribs) Ia sauce piquan-

man, very much astonished.
"WiH you como and cat some with
me?"

"You will pay ?"
"That is perfectly understood,
and | shall be infinitely obliged to
you"
GAN right; let us CO." answered
the unknown, laughing "I agree to
perform this service for you"
"Give me your name and your adj
dress, If you please"
The two friends marched off gaily
together, when Paul perceived a
gentleman few PAGES distant.
"Would it be repugnant to YOU"
said Paul. "if this gentleman COM
ing towards us was invited to eat
some of the spare-ribs ?"
"By no means, provided he does |
not carry OIL any part of my SHARE"
"Fear nothing of that sort"
.'But still to what end do you ask |
this Of me?'
"You shall know 1T soon," said |
Paul, fastening forward to the new |
arrival, and making his proposition |
anew in regard to the feast Of spare |
ribs la piquante.
The invitation was again accept
ed.
So laughing and joking together,
they soon came near the farm.
The two unknown beheld with |
surprise a young lady coming to-
ward them, and throwing herselfl
npon the neck of their conductor.
And their astonishment was greatly |
increased when the young people |
cried out:
'Messieurs, be We witness that we

they jumped into a carriage which I

"The spare-ribs the spare-ribs ~
cried the two disappointed guests.
''Messieurs, we win eat them at
the wedding" replied the lovers,
waving a farewell.
The promise has been kept. The /
couple, directly after their return.
made a splendid wedding feast; and |
the two witnesses had the place of
honor.

Repudiation---He and She.

out OF his life he cast her,
As one from a drawer may fling
A glove that hath lost its fellow,
And grown but a useless thing;
Or as the flowers tomorrow,
That you wreathe in q vase TODAY.
Shall be replaced by fresher,
And carelessly flung away.
Out Of his life he tore her,
As a string from a lutte is rent
That hath ceased to make sweet nansie-
A diseord and discomfort,
Or as the leaf from a volume
By reereant hand is torn,
Wherein some rare love sonnet
Hath come to be read with scorn.
Out Of his life he dropped her,
In his mood OF cool disdain,
As pebble upon the water
That can never rise again,
But must motionless lie forever
Down in the oOze and slime,
Waiting the change Of matter,
And lost to tide and time.
Out Of her life she piucked him,
As dagger is drawn away,
To see what hope remaineth
For the sufferer, cold and gray,
Staunching the dark wound after,
And hurting the steel afar;
Then closely. carefully folding
Fair linen above the scar.
Out OF her life she wrenehed him
AS gardener hurls aside
The weed whose noisesome shadow
On his flowers was cast too wide;
Barring the roots to the sunshine,
To wlther and decay
But burning the seeds to ashes,
Lest the wind should bear them away.
Out of her life she crushed him,
As we trample down the fire
That ereepeth forth from the hearthstone
And threateneth mischief dire;
Not without pain and panic,
Not without suffering sore;
Yet thankful-if spared the rafters,
AS we view the Dlackened floor.
But oft in the weary midnight,
By the light of moon and star,
She standeth beside her easement
To gaze on her cold white scar;
And next to her heart Is locket,
Whereof no eye takes heed,
Where she gamers the pale dead ashes
Saved from a noises0me weed.

There was the presentation of a gold
watch by Gen. Sheridan, and a 5000

Wright was one of the interesting oh.

The dnst notes OF a summer day,
That in the sunshine idly play,
Are like my wandering thought;
They climb their golden ladders up,
Aud lie deep IN the lily's cup,

That fy-wings brush aside
Their little day a revel strange,
Their life, as thought, and endless change,
Their realm whole world wide.
