HBriiliBnt Weddings,

Editor Of The Rsgstr:
1t is very seldom, nowadays, that we
take up a newspaper without encounter.
idg a glazing notice Of some brilliant
wedding" The bride was regal in white
silk, trimmed with "A profusiou of lace
and orange blossoms. The was
performed beneath It marriage bell" Of
flowers, aud flower decorations we're upon
every table aud bracket in the brilliantly
lighted p%arlor,. The presents to the bride
were numerous and costly-a silver tea
set, a silver ice pitcher, silver goblets
lined with gold, silver cake baskets, silver
casters, silver spoons, silver this and sill
yer that. The brides trousscau was very
elegant and costly. The bridal party
have gone on a wedding tour. Well [!
what of it! Who has not heard this
same rigmarole a thousand times before,
and become as familiar with it as we were
with our grandtather's morning prayer.
Que description OF a wedding in high life,
describes all the "brilliant weddings that
ever have been or ever will be. Our re-
porters dash into it as if they we're going
to tell you something new. They need
only two facts TO work upon, that there
has been a grand wedding, and the names
Of the parties most intimately concerned
in it, and they will sit down and give a
minute description Of the whole affair.
Now who cares for all this2 What if
the bride is an heiress, aud her young
lord is worth a fortune? Is that any
thing remarkable in this age of money ?
What if their friends are able to make
them costly presents. Is tina. anything
worth telling of? or any reason why the
newspapers should be set afro with the
wonderful brilliant" affair? People are
getting thoroughly disgustcd with the 70.
iteration Of such brilliant nonsense. "Ah (!
we'll" says one. "young folks wish to make
the most Of so remarkable au event as a
wedding, since, as a general thing, it &C.
Yes, | know, but this once, in altogether
too many instances, is once too many and
there is more fuss made in getting a G
rorce than there was in getting married.
Wait a few years, let US see how they
will turn out. "All is well that ends
we'll" Does the golden sun of love con.
tinue to illuminc their pathway! Has
the silver chain that binds them together,
no feeble links in it, where the %.'little
god may break through and fly away /?
DO their lives flow on as peacefully togeth.
or as the sweet singing rills flow on to the
sea Then indeed, was it a "brilliaut
wedding" and all the rich presents which
wealth can bestow could not add one rag
to its lustcr. We remember once to have
attended a wedding where no gifts were
presented to the brlde-nonc save one
this was the gift of a noble honest heart.
The trusting bride asked for no more and
she would accept Of no less, Faith and
love made bright the wedding feast, and
faith and love have kept sacred their
plighted VOWS.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHENCKS PULMONTC SYRU

HE4Nth - ~ L-ND4NIt ~
SCHENCk'S SEAWEED TONIC,
SCHENCh'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop n cough will
often occasion the death of the patient. 1t locks
up the liver, stops the circulation of the blood,
hemorrhage follows, and, in fact, blocking the
action of the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds ofthe cases of consumption. Many
are now complaining with dull pain in the side,
the bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade,
feeling sometimes very restless, and at other times
drowsy; the food that is taken lies heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity and ~belching
of wind. These symptoms usually originate from
a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver. Persons so affected, ifthey take one or two
heavy colds, and the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive. and before
the patient is aware of his situation, the lungs are
a mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the
Inevitable result.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check "A cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed tonic dissolves the food, mix.
es with the gastric juice of the stomach, digests
easily, nourishes the system, and creates a heal
thy circulation of the blood. When tho bowels
are costive, skin sallow, and the patient is Of a
bilious habit, schenck's Mandrake Pills are re-
quired.

Saving Mnrble

Editor Of n, Reyisto;
| saw in the Middlebury REGISTER, of
Dec. LIST, 1874, an article ascribirg to
Isaac Markham the honor OF bringing to
light what the writer called the lost art
Of saving marble with iron saws with
sand and water, which art, the writer
says, with the ringing music of the
toothless saws, was hushed long centuries
ago on the shores of the Mediterranean"
My father owned a quarry Of marble
in The town Of Lanesborough, Mass, and
carried on the stone cutting business
there, at which place | was born in the
year 1889, so says our family record,
much Of his marble came from the quarry
in thin sheets which he used to saw by
hand, into such sizes as be chose, with
iron saws, sand and water, as now prac-
tised, | was often employed in attending
the sawyer and putting OIL sand and water
while he managed the saw, this | have
often done when | was about three or
four years old, nv father had a mill about
the same time, where he sawed his marble
by water power, how lowg before | was
born the mill was built | do not know.
The first stone saw mill built in the
United States | suppose was in Phil.
adelphia or near there They sawed a dark
kind OF marble. My father had a
quantity from those sawed an inch thick
for iacings to five places, which | rrmem.
Der seeing him polish when | was not
more than three or four years old, The
writer Of the article alluded to, says it
was nearly seventy years ago that Isaac
Markham made the discovery OF the lost
art Of saving marble with iron saws, sand
aud water.
1t is Of but little importance to any
ont to know who first sawed stone with
iron saws, sand aud water, but it is very
desirable that tho G who undertake tc
write the history OF past events should do
it truthfully. THEoDATUs PHELPS,

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liv.
er complaint, and both the mineral and
vegetable Kingdoms have been diligently
searched to procure the most drastic and
poisonous pu-gatives, in order to produce
II powerful effect upon the liver, and
arouse the tagging and enleeb!cd organ
This system Of treatment is on the anne
principle as that Of giving a weak aud de.
blllitated man large potions of brandy to
enable him to do a certain amount Of work.
When the stimulant is withheld, the or.
gan, like the system, gradually relapse,
into a more torpid or sluggish aud weak
ened condition than before. What then
is wanted ? Medicines, which. while they
cause the bile to flow freely from inc liv
e., as that organ is toned into action will
not overwork and thus debillitate it, bu;
will, when their use is discontinued, leave
the liver strengthened and healthy. Such
remedies are found in DR.. Picrce's Gold
euIMed. Discovery and Purgative Pellets.
