The Mormon Marriage Ritual.

Here is the Mormon marriage ceremony,
which has never before seen daylight in Il
newspaper:
When the day set apart for the sOlemni-
ZatiOn of the marriage ceremony has ar
rived, the bridegroom and his wife and
also the bride, together with their relatives
and such other guests as may be invited,
assemble at the place which they have APP
pointed. The scribe then proceeds to take
the names, ages, native towns, counties,
States and countries of the parties to be
married, which he carefully enters upon
record. The president, who is the prophet,
seer and revelatOr over the whole Church
Throughout the world, and who alone holds
the = keys" of authority in this solemn
ordinance las recorded in the second and
fifth paragraphs of the Revelation on
Marriage y, calls upen the bridegroom
and his wife and the bride to arise, which
they do, fronting the president. The
wife stands on the left hand of her hus-
band while the bride stands on her left.
The president then puts the question to
the wife:
Are you willing to give this woman to
your husband to be his td'0tut and l0edded
10ite for time and for all eternity? If you
are you will manifest it by placing her
right hand within the right hand OF your
husband" The right hand of the bride
groom and bride being thus joined, the
wife takes her husband by the left arm, as
if i'll the attitude of walking. The presi-
dent then proceeds to ask the following
questions of the man:
''DO you, brother calling him by name),
take sister calling the bride by her name)
by the right hand, TO receive her unto
yourself to be your IaWtuL and u0edded
'gite, and you to be her La'gf5tL and 10edded
husband for time and for all eternity, with
a covenant and promise on your part that
you will fulfill all the laws, rites and or
dinances pertaining to this holy matrl-
mOny, in the new and everlasting cove
nant, doing this in the presence OF God,
angels and witnesses, of your own free Will
and choice?'
The bridegroom answers Yes" The
president then puts the question 10 the
bride:
DO you, sister calling her by name),
take brother calling him by name) bv the
right hand and give yourself 70 hun, 10 De
his ia,ctttL and loedded lcife for time and

your part that you will fulfill all the laws,
rites and ordinances pertaining TO this holy
matrimony, in the new and everlasting
covenant, doing this in the presence OF
God, angels and these witnesses, OF your
own free will and choice -
The bride answers - Yes"
The president then says:
= In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and 5y the authority of the holy priest

A Big Man.

The steamship Denmark, of the Ma
tional line, which arrived in New Y York
City on Thursday, brought Ruth Goshen,
the American giant-''a mountain of a
man." Colonel Ruth Goshen is six feet
nine inches in height and weighs $50
pounds. He was born in the valley of the
City of Mexico, fifty-seven years ago, and
does not look to be more than thirty years
of age. He has hand nearly as large as
a small sized ham, and he wears -four
teens'' i'm shoes. He had a high white
beaver hat, big white walking stick OF
the dimensions of a crowbar, and was
dressed in big blue cloth coat, white
duck pants and vest made of white bath
toweling. To hold up his watch he had
an immense chain of gold rings. large
enough for his own huge fingers, which
were lOOped together, and from the chain
depended two enormous old-fashiOned
seals. The Colonel, who derives his title
from service in the Mexican army, was
present at Queretaro when Maximilian
was murdered and received a cross of pre-
cious stones for his services in the preced-
ing campaign. Ii having been rumored
that the giant was to exhibit himself in
Barnum'S show, the reporter took occa-
sion to ask him if it was so, but the Col.
Onel denied it at on e. and when a person
inquired if his name was Mons. Bihin-
the name of Belgian giant formerly on
exhibition in this city-he asked indig.
nanuy if they took him to be a horse
thief:" He said he was in the silk and
satin business and had left Calcutta sixty
days previously for America. Himself
and son were in partnership together in
San Francisco. When he was asked what
he thought of foreign countries he said
tlar he found there was but one Americs
in the world. and that England was 3
thousand years behind the age. Colone

A Singular Phenomenon Explained.

The creeping" of the rails on railroad
tracks has been noticed by the Scientific
american in a recent article, and an eXpla-
nation called for. The following remarks.
based on the suggestions of a scientific
friend, will, we believe, cover the ground,
and afford a reasonable answer to the in
quiry put forth by the journal above men,
toned.
1t appears that in north and south lines
the creeping is southwark, and in east and
west lines westward. In the tirst-men-
toned case the cause would seem to be at
tributable to centrifugal force. On all re-
vOlving bodies the loose particles of mat
ter have a tendency to fly off. The earth
revOlves on its axis about 1000 miles an
hour, giving, at the equator. centrifugal
force equal to l-290ths of the attraction of
gravitatiOn. This force decreases toward
the poles, where it is nothing. Through
this agency the earth itself has been
changed from spherical form, its dame
ter at the equator being about twenty-1iX
miles greater than its polar diameter.
Railroads, then, running north and south,
having their repOse disturbed by the con
stant jar of passing trains, and having
nothing to Obstruct their linear movement,
are acted upon by this force, which tends
I 10 uTdN IlClll lONdlu tllC pOluJ vi It's
strongest action, so they creep toward the
equator.
in the case of the westward creeping of
rails, friction is the cause. Obedient to the
law of inertia, all inert matter has tend
encv to continue in any given state in
which it is placed. If set in motion its iu-
ertia compels it TO move on until stopped
bv some external agency, such as friction,
Jirect contact, gravity, etc. If at rest, it
must remain so forever, unless acted upon
bv some force extrlnsic to itself. SO rail-
roads, disturbed in their repOse on the
bosom of the ever-mOving earth, are re-
tarded by the friction Of the cars, while the
earth rolls eastward 1000 miles an hour.
The action, of cOurse.is but slight, yet like
the silent workings of the eternal forces of
nature, it requires Onl y time to make it
self felt appreciably.-BufaLo (N. ~ Err

Bull Battles III Texas.

\ correspondent among the great cattle
herds in Texas writes to the Galveston
NelCs:
In case of a severe winter, when grass Is
Scant. a pack of wolves single out some
decrepit old bull, that has fought his last
fight. and been deserted by his herd long
ago. which they follow and worry day and
night until he is at last pulled down.
Like the buffalOeS, which formerly rOamed
over this country, these bulls are constant
" fighting for the mastery of the herds,
and the cows have hearty contempt Tor
the fellow that is not ready at all times TO
present an undIunted front. With their
immense frames and terrible horns, a pair
of Texas bulls make a bad fight. short
horn Durham bulls have been introduced
bv men who thought to improve the
stock: but they have no show ut all-and
one is occasionally seen feeding in solitude.
I'm rounding up cattle upon the prairie
the driver witnesses a great many OF these
fights. Perhaps halt-a-dOZen distinct
herds are brought together; and the
lords" take occasion to plume themselves
and meandering around, with deep rOarS,
pav their respects to the gentle sex, and
glance defiance at each other. Young as
pirantS for hOnOrs are equally as demon
Strarive; and OutcaStS thus brought into
contact with victOrs in former contests
are punished for their seeming
temeritv; old scores are revived; hos
tiIities begin; and soon a dozen fights ave
going on in different portions Of the large
herd. The first symptoms of an accepted
challenge are telcgraphed over the herdby
prolonged and shrill rOdrs. Instantly all
the bulls i'm the immediate vicinity, not en-
gagged, rush to the spot, and caper about
the two adverSaries. in a way they would
seem incapable of-all the while believing
and undoubtedly taking sides. and urg-
ing on the two central figures. About
twenty feet apart they stand, tossing up
dirt with hoof and horn, until suddenly,
with lowered head, they spring at each
other, and their fOreheads meet with dull
thud. They rebound, and a second and
third time rally, when comes the sullen
srrain-head to head and horn to horn.
Every nerve and muscle is eXerted to the
utmost; and no living thing cn long en-
dure such fearful tension. Presently one
will prove the weaker, or slip foot, and
for the moment be thrown OIL his guard
but the slightest advantage is not lost to
those watchful. glaring eyes Of his autag-
oniSt, who throws his last energy into
mighty plunge forward. which turns the
victims neck. and the long Taking wound
i'm the flank follows. 1t is not good to be
too near then, for horse and rider might be
overturned. Nothing will stop van
uuished bull i'm his hcadlOng flight; and
blind with rage and agony, he runs far
away upon the prairie. Many lose their
lives fighting. IfnOt gOred in a vital part,
the wounds are fly-biOwn directly, often
causing death.

A Man Of Many Wills.

DR.. W. Newton Mercer. who recently
died at New Orleans, had most eXtraOr-
binary propensity for making wills. Eigh-
teen of these testamentaTy documents have
already been admitted TO probate, each one
iucumbered with a multitude of cOdlcllS.
The whole of them must be taken tOgeth-
or, there being clauses in most OF the latter
ones relating to previous bequestS, some
of which are withdrawn and others con-
firmed. The eccentric teStatOr wrote his
first on the llth of April, 1866. His estate
consisted of lands, chattols, stocks, and
money, which he distributed amOHg his
friends with great liberality, not forget
ting his former slaves. The legatees were
scattered over several States; some OF
them resided in England and two or three
i'm Cuba. In the drawing of this will Dr.
Newton dispensed with the service OF
lawyer, and appended note requesting
that if any doubt should arise as TO the
construction of any clause the matter
should be submitted to mutual friends
For the next four years the testator deyO-
ted himself to making cOdicils. He became
interested in his own funeral, and gave
specific directions for the interment OF his
body. Then he turned his attention TO
his large stock Of pOcEet-handkerchleis,
and divided them between "Old VIII
liam and Cesar" after Miss Young"
shall have selected twelve. The sad
| - William and Cesar" are also designa-
ted az the inheritOrs OF his wearing apparel
Some time afterward he became interested
i'm a little chapel, and assessed certain leg
acies to the amount of 500 each for its
benefit. From time TO time he added TO
his list of legatees; some Of them were
| enriched with a valuable bequest, others
| hOnOred with family heirloom, and the
names of old negro servants constantly
recurred. On the 10th of July, 1863. the
| following bequest was made: TO Rob
/ ert +. Lee, of Virninia, late a General in
| the Confederate army, now President Of
/ Washington College, at Lexington. and
| by whom / am not known, 81 900 in gold
| as testimonial of my great respect for

RARING HAY.


Twas in the days Of moving
with honest arm and scythe; -,
When neighbOrs helped in neighbors' neios'
And harvest hands were biithe-
For me, grew q STRIPPING
They called me hall hand
Among the stalwart, sun-brOWned men
Who titled the clover land
The rythmic swing Of sinews
Wac regular ana strong;
The even-ncasurel moving stroke
First set my soul 20 song.
Sweet music OF the whetstOnes,
Like morning bells IN chime,
Toned soOthingly life's harshcr sounds
My heart stiil beating time.
Right bravely marched the mowers,
knee-deep Ia Towering gras-;
Ihey ranged according 10 their skill,
Like schoOl-bOys In a class
And strength was brought 10 trial,
And strOve with wrestler's WrOth-
Who could the smoothest stubbie cut,
And who the widest swathi
How proualy strove the leader
The swiftest and the best
He held his place a cut OF two
Ahead Of al the rest;
Allowed no one 10 lead him
The breadth Of brawny hand:
a master of the moving craft,
He ruled the clOver-laud
The morning beams came glancing
The hutteTing tree-t0ps thrO'
Like golden bills Of birds taat bent
To sip The sparkling dew.
And then, in soft mrd-u-rning,
Beg tn the haryesl-day,
And all hands-girls and boys and men
were merry making hay.
There came a choice Of partners
Who could the best agree,
And lots were drawn by glances quick
Kate aiways fell 10 mo-
Now turn thy glass, - Mem'ry,
Upon thgt harvest day,
Which poured ~ sunshine over me
And Katie making hay.
The morning call Of luncheon
To grassy table laid.
Assembled all The lawmakers
Beneath "A lone trees shade;
A bliss Of rest snd breathing
BY leaiy fingers finned-
And then another haying-heat
Raced O'eT the c.over-laud
We spread the swaths oommingliny
In beds of rustliug brown,
Aud rich held-odors noatrd up
On winds OF feathcry down.
Then rolled the r.dgy windrOws-
The triumphs OF the day:
] dreamed o'eT triumphs Of life
With Katie Taking hay.
She looked all-ovpr bonnet
OF gingham-blue ard white
Her faces roses in the shade
Glanced out their own sweet light.
Her rake tr0uid get eutangled
Sometimes, by locking mine,
And when she said: Z" Provoking thingl -
Fen quarreing was diyinel
A spring OF buhbling waters
WCllcd up In wooaside cool,
And ever al the il,ld send hedge
Both thirsted Tor the pool.
She drank from out goblet
made her Of my hands,
And, knecling at her feet, quafed
From cup OF golden sands.
The last load in the twilight
Dragged slowly towards the stack
So like = great brown burlv beast
With children on its back;
And fecky clouds hung over,
OF sOftest creamy hue,
Like handfuls plucked from cOttOn-bales
And dashed against the blue.
Pm dreaming now of hay-time,
The f,lds and skies are bright;
see among the harvrstevs
4 bonnet-hlae and white
And katie's face is N it.

But It's the faircst face of all
That grace the clOVcr-land.

In harvests long ago;
Another partner Katie chose
For lte's uphill WindrUw.
But o, of all the sunshine
That ever blest a day
The crown sill snimmprs over me
And Katie raklng hay. --AldiHe.
