browns wooden wedding,

From the Boston Trnveler.l
Brown. young insurance friend OF
ours who lives in Cambridge, had the
fifth anniversary Of his wedding to oc-
cur about a week ago and his friends
determined to celebrate his wooden
wedding by surprise party. Brown
came in yesterday and told us how
they succeeded. They commenced by
sending u servant around with team to
take Brown and his wife out TO ride at
about seven. They then began TO come
with presents and materials for supper
There was a little party Of five came
first, all laden-hands full. They all
got nicely inside the garden gate, which
shuts with spring, when Browns big
mastif, who is always left unclaimed in
his masters absence, came around the
corner and surprised them. One woman
stepped on her dress, and her fall so de-
moralized fragile black walnut book.
case she carried that it was afterwards
done up in bundle and presented as
kindling wood. Another fellow got safely
out of the yard, all but part OF his pants.
while old Smithers, who weighs two
hundred and twenty pounds, plunged
wildly with the eight gallon pail of ice
cream he carried, through Browns glass
hot-house, in the corner of the yard, and
surprised some thirty dollars worth Of
exotics. Finally they fixed things up
and got into the house, and as it was
about time for Browns return they com
menced laying the upper table. They
got down tea-set Of rare china that a
friend of Browns in tke trade had
loaned him a week before and broke two
pieces, so that Brown has since been
obliged to mortgage his hen-house and
buy the set; and the comments of Mrs,
Brown when she saw the condition Of the
carpet were sarcastic in the extreme.
Finally, as a crowning touch, they tried
to hang out Chinese lanterns with the
word Welcome" on them, on the perch
over the front door. They succeeded in
hanging two lanterns, and when they
had saved the house from the fiery fiend,
there was not enough of the porch left
to pay for the trouble of trying TO hang
out any more. We draw veil over the
scone that followed their return. Some
scenes are too joyous to be described in
cold, cold words.

How TO Buy "A Horse.

From the advance sheets OF Rev. W
II Murray new book on THE Horse,
we extract the following:
Be sure that the horse you purchase
has symmetry, viz: is well proportional
throughout. Never purchase horse be-
cause he has splendid development Of
one part of his organization, if he is lack.
ing in any other. Above all, keep well
in mind what you are buying for, and
buy the horse best adapted to the work
you will require Of him; and when such
an animal is yours be content. Never
Jockey. An occasional exchange may
be allowable; but this daily swapping
of horses advertises a mans incompe-
tency for anything higher. Another eau
ton is this: Never purchase a horse
until you have seen him move, and under
the same conditions to which he will be
exposed in the service you will expecto
him. If for Q draft, see him draw, back
and turn round in both directions; II
for the road see how he handles himself,
not merely on level ground, but going up
shsrp declivities, and, above all, in de-
scending them. In this way you will
ascertain the faults or excellenoies OF
both his temper and structure.
IL these exercises drive him yourself.
The reins in a skilllul hand, aided by the
whip or mouth can be made to conceal
grave defects. Let him move with a
loose rein, so that he may take his nstu-
raj gait, and not his artifciali for, by so
doing, you will detect any mistake of
Judgment you may have made when
looking him over in a state of inactivity.
Many time unsoundness will appear in
motion, which no inspection of the eye
and finger, however close, can ascertain.
When yeu have walked him and logged
him, if be is to serve in any other than
mere draft pnrpossS, put him to his
speed, and keep him at it for sufficient
distance to test his breathing capacity;
then pull him up jump from the wagon,
ana lsok at his Aanks; inspect his NOS
trils, and put yoET ear close to the side
of his chest, in order to ascertain i the
action of the heart is normal. If this
exercise has caused him to perspire free
Iy, ali the better; for you can then see,
when you take him back to the stable,
whether he "dries Of quickly, ss all

Playing Croauct.
y. wHITMORE,
Publisher and Proprietor.

From the Danbury News
Croquet is not designed for the devel-
opment of muscle, merely for the enjoy
ment of recreation When man puts
the preponderance of bis strength in the
blow he fails to progress IN the game,
and not only that, but he loses so much
of the enjoyment, and merely expends
strength that may be required to take
him off the premises. An accurate eye
for measuring distances is about all the
capital required in safe and hourishing
game of croquet. Considering what an
excellent citizen he is in all respects,
we are led to regret that Mr.. Hem
messy did not possess these facts
previous to last Monday evening On
that occasion he played his first game.
There was nice party of them on Mr..
u-'-rf0rd's lawn, and several elderly la
a. ~ members of the Khidghluv Mission
Sno;o,v we're seated on the stoop, hav-
% inc had q very enjoyable tea. Mr.. Hen
messy waiteL' eexpoetant!!y for his turn at
the game, at the same time swinging his
r;cbf I arm and sla ,rping his chest to warm
un his muscle. When his turn did come
he determined he would surprise the
Congregation. And lie did. He looked
at the other players patrchizIngIy' and
at the elderly ladies affectionately, then
he raised the mallet, and carefully meas
ured the distance, and took In all the
hearings between him and the ball
Then he swung it around his head
once or twice, and the next IN
slant it cut through the air IKE
flash of lightning, and descending
SQUARE and accurately to the aim, lifted
that ball into the air, and drove 1t full
against the shin of the amiable Presl-
dent of the Khidghluv Mission who i'm
mediately rolled off the stoop and went
kicking and screaming into Michigan
rose bash. The awful eoncussion OF the
blow broke the head short or from the
handle of the mallet, and that dis
tressing article contributed SEINE new
and startling phases to the disaster;
After making several Rpsuccessiui
lunges at the players, whose nim6leness
alone saved them. it skipped across Mr..
Warfords nose, taking off some two
dollars worth of skin, and Tying upward
came down with unexpended force upon
the crown of the Vice-President OF the
Khidghluvs. who was making herself
hoarse in behalf of her unfortunate supe-
rior, and brought her jaws together with
such force as to nearly deprive her OF
one-third OF her tongue. The unlortu'
nate Mr.. Hennessy appeared to be the
only one to retain his presence of mind.
He buttoned the mallet handle under his
coat, and threw his hat into the street,
aud then watching his opportunity,
dashed in and caught one ef the Presl
dents struggling legs, and immediately
uulled her out of the rosebush and on
the walk. Then he put three Of the
balls In his pockets, slang bis watch on

A Flen,iisIi C0mpOsi(Up.

When we were younger we uscd 10
sentimental poetry to a
paper in the interior of this State, and
any one who read it must have enter
tainod conviction that the soul of the
poet was narrowed by the most awful
storm of conflicting passions; that he
was a miserable, unhappy victim Of
remorse, despair, hlghted affection,
and agonized regret to whom death
would have been happy relief. And
vet, Immediately after writing q poem
Of the most heart-rending descrip-
ton, full of melancholy and tears, we
have been known TO eat half y pound
of sirloin, six fried onions, and half a
mince pie. The last poem we ever
wrote for that paper was entitled "Mus-
ing, at Sunset" and the first verse
began in this manner:
As Isat beside the window, and gazed into
The daylight fell and vanished, and all ma

= This was at the time that the soul OF
the poet was suffllsed by a tenderness
for Miss Magruder. We knew Miss
Magruder would see the poem, and we
had worded it in such Il manner that
we were certain it would excite emotion
in the heart of the fair Magruder. But
it failed to do 80, probably for the
reason that when the paper came out,
the two lines had been transposed by
an INSCRIPTIONS tlend of compositor
so that they read thus;
As sat beside the window and grabbed her
by the waist,
The delight | felt was vanished as the
creature drank my vest.
Then we. went solcmnly around and
killed the compassion, and discontinued
our contributions to that paper AS
for Miss Magruder, she merely laughed;
and all the other Magruders laughed,
and we then permanently turned our
attention to prose. Poetry is not safe

human beings instead of machinery
