A Rejected Lovers Revenge.

Taking seat just behind the happy pair IN
church, he racked his brains for means Of re-
venge, and looked like seventeen 0thelos con-
centrated ino Finally ghastly smile crept
over his face. he raised hall up in his seat, and
nabbed large black bug that was crawling
on pillar hard by, and gently dropped him
down between his unconscious rivals shirt col
lar and his neck, and then calmly leaned back
with a virtuous and christian air Of satisfac-
tion. The bug soon made his presence felt,
and that other fellow, began 10 twitch and
scratch himself against the back of his seat and
look uneasy, and cast unhappy glances at the
minister and affecting ones at the iair. being
BY his sile.. The. bug evidently grew more
impatient at bis Imprisonment, aud iturned
himself loose graphing around with a.reck
lessness very suggestive Of big black spiders
or scorpions; and that other fellow could stand
it no longer but boiling upright, cast one
wild, startled look at the congregation, cleared
the space between him and tbs door at two

the war, has been in opposition to concentrA-
ton of power in central head He thought
that a true citizen Of the North ought TO be
willing to do justice 20 the motives and prin-

another war occur to resist foreign invasion or

Lowell man has just eloped with his wife. He
deserted her FOX another woman seven years
ago, and she went to California aud got rich,
and returning few days ago found him re-
pontant and quite tender towards her and her
money, so they met by appointment at the de-
pot and eloped in due form, California being
the objective point.
