4 Ten Dollar wife.

Parson Allen, of d., was quite
wag as well as peculiarly interest
ing preacher.-He was often called
upon to perform the marriage cere'
mony, and his peculia-ities On sucl
occasions often furnished a supply O
merriment long after the parties hat
retired from the parsonage.
On ono occasion, after the mar
risge knot had been tied, tho bride
groom, supposing that the parsor
was entitled by law to q certain fee
and would therefore return the
change, handed tho minister q ten
dollar bill, which was carefully folded
and placed in his pocket. The old
parson having noticed the Y in the
corner of the old State bank note,
kept up his lively conversation, com
menting on the ups aud downs OF
life, till the groom became somewhat
nervous over the delay in relation to
his change, and he ventured to say
"Parson Allen that was a ten-dollar
bill / gave YOU"
"Yes, 30 ! preceive. You are very
generous. 1t is net often that I re-
ceive SO large a fee. A comfortable
thing it is to have o bank note in
ones pocket" and then he gave some
amusing illustrations Of selfshness,
and another ten minutes Of precious
time was consumed.
Again the groom ventursd TO re-
mind tho parson that he had not re-
turned the change he expected, and
he hesitatingly suggested;
"Perhaps you did not think that
the bill that I hauded you for your
services was a ten, did you, Parson
Allen T.
"OE, yes, I noticed that it wcs. I
assure you that I have not been SO
agreeably surprised for long time,
| always think on such occasions that
tho husband has an appreeiative re.
gard for his worthy partner, and l
presume that you regard your wife,
that now is, worth ut least ten do I.
lars, aud i doubt IL you would have
tho knot united for twice that SUM,
would you, Mr.. M"
"Not !, said the nonplussed bride
groom. "But is there not = regular
fee which the minister is allowed to
take for marrying folks Y
"Not that | am aware of." said the
parson. I'VE always leave the foe to
be 6xed by the parties who got mar.
ried."
And 80 the bridegroom, evaded at
all pointA gave up the effort to get
back any change

The Evils Of Using Tobacco.

Tho following article, taken from
tho Country Gentleman, 30 thrilling
ly sots forth the fearful results OF
using tobacco that the most hardened
sinner must repent and hasten 10 be
wise after reading il
First experiment. hog was shut
up in tight pen, and his only food
was one half pound of tobacco day
In one week he lost four pounds.
Second, mule was placed in o stall
without food, two plugs OF tobacco
were placed before her twice day.
She grew gradually restivs. On the
third day one plug was forced down
her throat, when she tore tho ex-
perimentor's ear with her tooth, show
ing the bad effect tobacco has on
ones disposition. IL was then found
necessary TO muzzle her so that she
could not open her mouth. At the
end of eight days she died.
Third, a dog was nailed up in q
tobacco hogshead. At tho end OF
four days lie was takon out much re-
duced. Fourth another dog was
inclosed in tobacco barrel and
rolled down q steep hill Within
two years that dog went mad Truly
these are Satan's nets could cite
plenty more Of such experiments. We
all know that single drop OF the
oil Of tobacco placed on tho end Of q
dogs tail will kill u man in O minute
OF four men lately killed on the Erie
railway threo were smokers, and the
father of the other an invetcrate
chewer Of tobacco. On tho bodies
Of the two men washed ashore after
the late storm on Lake Michigan,
papers OF tobacco were found.
In my own neighborhood, q very
distressing accident, by which most
estimable lady, the mother OF seven
lovely children, broke her leg, was
occasioned by q pair Of runaway
horses running into fence that sur
rounded field of tobacco. Miss
Flatfoot recently died in the county
adjoining mine at the age OF lis
years. She had both chewed and
smoked over 100 years, and as she
had no disease till tho time OF her
death, it is only fair to suppose that
it was tobacco that killed her. For
SO long time was Satin spreading
his nets for her but l think Mr.. X.
will agreo with me that no must have
her sure now.
But why multiply examples ? You
know how it is yourself So Mr.. Ed
itor, do not 60 on helping spread
these nets by showing in your paper
how to grow large crops Of tobacco
any moro. Rather interline tho book
OF Proverbs with tho remarks OF our
second Solomon. Only lot me add q
word CT caution to that gentleman.
Does he, let me ask, use toa or coffee.
There arc other nets Of Satan, as
tobacco. Docs he eat mince pics and
use salaeratus Moro nets. Docs
he indulge in leo creams or oysters I
Let him beware, lest, when he least
expects, Satan, in scooping in his to-
bacco users, fly away with him! Gra-
ham bread without salt is his only
salvation.

The general railway share market at the opening
was weak and unsettled. and prices very generally
exhibited fractional decline. Early in the day,
however, an improved feeling was apparent as the
result of the covering Of short contracts. and the
market soon began to move upOn an ascending scale
Erie taking the lead in the upward movement, and
beng sharply followed by Pacific Mail, Panama. and
Wabash. The advance bolted little at the
l o'clock board. During the afternoon the
market ruled steady to strong, and closed
at fraction below the highest prices of the day.
The days business amounted to the purchase and
sale of about 10000 shares. the widest fluctuations
and greatest activity having been in Western Cnion

The First Volume of 81. Nicholas ("Scrib-

isned in handsome separate octave, will
impress every one who examines IT atteDtively
with the high degree of excellence which, under
the skifu guidance OF Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, 1t has
attained during the nOvit.ate OF a single year.
II is not often that so much ability and
literary practice are combined IN the con-
duct of juvenile magazine. Almost every
page bears the only OF talent but tact fea'
ture in which so many writers for children are wofuy
deficient No one would anticipate that men Ike Bry-
ant, TX Marvel. Bret Harte, Charles Dudey warner,
c. 2. Cranch Clarence Cook, John Hay, and T. w. Hlg-
ginson any SPECIAL gift for the deec taton OF the
youthful mind" but judging from their contributions in
this volume they are the manner born," and find
themselves no less at home III the nursery than in the
arena Of politics and the higher walks of literature
Mrs Mapes Dodge too has kept her noble army OF suba
terms -de-camps and common soldiers admirably In
hand always making them fire low enough TO nit the
marx But the masculine element is tempered as
gently as the wind the shorn lamD by the
array OF feminine which grace the colcinns OF
the Magazine including besides the editress many OF
the most brilliant OF the day. Celia IhaXter Tor
example, E. Stuart Phelps, Rebecca Harding Davis,
Susan Coolidge, Abby Morton Dlaz. Ii. H., Rose Terry
Cooke and others whose housekeeping pens are
aIwaSs as sweet TO the Juvenile folk as the daDtest
Gates and cOmpotes. The volume is beautiful spec
men OF workmanship, botn III print and illustrations
aud happily contains nothing 10 corrupt the aesthetic
taste of ITS innocent readers.
