HOW THEY pAnrED-Eox -Err ,:rz.

The New York Dispatch relate,
the following interesting story of tn.
separation and reunion of husban,,
and wife:
Two days ago, good looking mar
a laborer about thirty years OF az
took the cars at Center street ,depo
for New York. There was but.on
vacant seat in the car that he enteret
and that was by the side of a hand.
some and elegantly dressed lady
The man sat down, and after his fai.
companion had removed her vail, IL.
was surprised to recognize in her hi.
wife, whom he had not seen for NOR.
than twelve years. The lady threN
her arms around his neck and kissed
him tenderly, and mutual explanation
followed.
1t seems that they had been mar
ried just before the breaking out "a
the war, at the home of the lady Ia.
Missouri. Her father was the owne.
of large tract of land. but had onl,
little money. He joined the rebe
cause, and the daughter also warml,
adhered to the opinions of her father.
Her husband, however, was decides.
Union man. She abused him violent
ly on account OF his principles, anl
told him if he sided with the s.bloody
Yanks," he might leave the place, an
she never wished to see his face agair.
He took her at her word, and the sam.
night left her and joined Fremont
army as private. He was several
times taken prisoner, and as often eS
capped to our lines. He pressed on
with Sherman toward the sea, and a.
the conclusion of his term of his ell
listment joined New York regiment,
aud by this means, at the end of tbs,
war, found his way to Newark, wher,.
he has since worked quietly in a fac.

His wife's father was killed a.
Vicksburg, and she was left sole pos

land rose in value, and she sold it for

In order TO make chicken salad, says

Gentle neighbors about rabbit-stew ::
first catch the rabbit. The motto has,
with slight alterations, been put in
practice in Galacia (Austrian Poland)
on the occasion of a recent wedding.
In certain little town of that far off
and not over-enlightened region a
Jewess was engaged to be married
to foreign co-religionist. On the day
that was TO make the twain one, n
large crowd, including the Rabbi,
gathered at the house of the bride;
all was in readiness for the interesting
ceremony save that all-important ele-
ment of the bridegroom was wanting.
After wasting much patience and
many questions in regard to the absent
one, a person in the crowd took the
responsibility of declaring that the
faithless bridegroom would not come.
What was to be done in such guam
Diary? The bride was dressed out
with the positive design of being mar
ried; the Rabbi had come with the
positive design ofmarrying somebody;
friends had assembled with the equal.
ly positive design of having jolly
good time. Nobody, especially the
prosective father and mother-in-law,
cared about being disappointed; SO
witness the luminous idea that seized

They were bound to play Hamlet,
though the man that was originally
engaged to play the title role had
failed to come up to time. So this is
the little strategem practiced in order
to secure Hamlet" Said the as
sembled wisdom: "Take the first
best Jewish young man you find on
the street, bring him here, and let him
be united to this woman" And it
was done. Then a collection was
made and presented to the SO queerly
married couple. But now comes the
point of the whole affair. Next day,
after this singular proceeding, the
bona .fde "Hamlet' presented him
selr, excusing his lateness by the bad
state of the roads. He was forthwith
married to his .1fance, and the forcibly
married young man again placed in
bachelordom, much astonished. per.
haps little richer in pocket, and Won
dering what would be his next adven-
ture in the matrimonial ocean.
