on the dancing waters, and the breeze
came fresh and bracing from the west.

On board moved the swiftly changing

diversities and strong contrasts mirth.

corner of the deck was small wagon;
whose occupant attracted the attention
Of oil and the sympathy of every true
heart. Judging by his face, he might
have seen nineteen years, but the mans
body was poorly supported by the
shrunken limbs, not larger than those

wore look of trustful patience, and
his clear, honest eyes neither Stunned
nor courted the plying glances bent

lighting his wan face, he answered hopes

Refusing to be Married for Life.
A Marriage Ceremony Abruptly
Postponed.
From the Troy Press.

From the Troy Pressl
Albert Knight, graduate of the Nor.
NAL School of Albany, was to have been
married to one of Malta's Saratoga
County fairest daughters. and withal a
woman of some pecunlary means, as
well as OF unblemished reputation. The
guests were all assembled. The would
be bride and bridegroom we're decked in
their gayest attire for the occasion, and
the Rev. Mr.. Webster of Jonesvillejust
arrived to put on the finishing touch to
the nuptial knot, when Mr. Knight wish.
ed private interview with the minister
The interview being granted, he refused
80 be married unless Mr.. Webster would
leave of the part of the ceremony where
it reads, t'as long as you doth live"-
For, says Mr.. Knight, the laws of a
State grant divorce for certain rea.
sons, and l do not know as I can live
with her all my life, and / do not want
to take vows upon myself that I might
not be able to fulfil. Mr. Webster re.
piled that he was not there as a lawyer
He had come only in an ecclesiastical
wav, and if he wished to be married he
would marry him according to the rules
Of the church Whereupon Mr. Knight
entered into logical discussion OF the
subject, until the divine, becoming dis
gusted, sought the woman's mother, and
informed her that Knight did not wish to
marry her daughter, and left for home
The tired guests then sat down to what
was to have been the bridal feast, which
had been kept waiting during the long
discussion.

ment. Perhaps 1t il hard to get such q
place as you like, but when you get

price at first, no matter what the price
is, ii it is honest work DO it welt-do
it the very hest you can. Begin at the
very lowest round Of the ladder, and
climb up. The great want anyShere is

CANADA.

Ottawa, |. In the House OF tomlnons last
night. Mr.. Mills moved a resolution that be-
fore the arbitration to take place under the
treaty Of Washington be entered upon, it is
proper that the limits Of the dominion and
jurisdiction should be decided.
Sir John Mcdonald in opposition advanced
the plea that it would prevent Canada from
obtaining any compensation for the twelve
years the treaty lasted, as AmerIcafs would
not concede their views of fishing limits He
admitted that the commissioner appointed to
conduct the arbitration could only arrive at a
very rough estimate of the sum due, and
said that communications were passing be-
tween the Canadian and Imperial govern
ments on the subject of headland rights, and
that the question would probably be referred
to international jurists for decision.
