of North Gilmor street, celebrated the

extend congratulations, some OF whom
were present when the happy pair-he

and she bonnie lassie in her teens
rose in the Friends old meeting house,
on Lombard street, and agreed to love
and cherish each other until death. And
well have they kept that promise.
Strange as it may seem, it is neverthe-
less said to be true, that during the halt
century in which they have lived as
man and wife, they have never had
quarrel, nor even Il cross word. Two
years ago, the good lady told the writer
that her husband never came home,
when she was there, without her meet
inc him with kiss, nor left the house
without going to the door and kissing
him rood bye. Mr.. Dukehart remem-

could assert, with perfect truth, that
more able and upright justices than
those which adorned this Court were
not to be found in another country in

A despatch from New Orleans tells
of a sad ending Of a foolish wager
Cloud, who started from Philadelphia.
to row to New Orleans, on a bet OF
$4,000, by way of the canals and the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, persisted
on Thursday not fifty miles from the
goal Of his endeavors. After traversing
nearly the whole of his long journey he
fell sick and was found in his boat alone
and dying, and twenty-fOur h, hours al after
wards he took his leave OF life. There
is something tragic in the idea OF the
solitary man floating down the , broad
expanse of the Mississippi with disease "a,
terminating his task and deciding the
issue against him. He had been at
least two months aAoat, and the long
trial seems to have broken down his
constitution and made him an easy VIC
tim for one of the plaques common TO

His voice is peculiar. He speaks as if

He is now millionaire. He helps all

A RELIGIOUS UNPLEAsANrNEss.-Ihe
Methodists and Baptists down in
Charleston, South Carolina, have had a
little business set-to, which goesto show
that neither party has had the leaVen OF
worldliness quite kneaded out yet. The
Baptists had a 100000 church they
couldn't pay for, and sold it to the
Methodists for $4,000. But before
the transfer was made, they saw a
chance of escape, and repented OF their
bargain. But the shrewd Methodlsts
insisted that business is business, and
held them to the letter Of the contract,
threatening them with a law suit for
damages if they receded. The Baptlsts
find themselves minus Westinghouse,
and the Methodists have got s6O,Oo0
church for a third of its value. 1t was
a sharp business transaction as between
brokers, but shows that Southern Chris
tianity needs reconstructing slightly
