A Ten.DOIlar Wife.

PAHSON ALLEN, of d., was quite wag
and peculiarly interesting preacher. He
was often called upon to perform the mar
riage ceremony, and his peculiarities or
such occasions often furnished a supply
of merriment long after the parties hao
retired from the parsonage.
On one occasion, after the marriage
knot had been tied, the bridegroom, sup
posing that the parson was entitled by
law TO IA certain fee and would therefore
return the change, handed the minister /;
tendollar bill, which was carefully folded
and placed in his pocket. The old par
son, having noticed the Y in the corner
of the old State bank note, kept up live
7 conversation on the ups and downs o.
life till the groom became somewhat
nervous over the delay in relation to his
change, and he ventured to say;
" Parson Allen, that was ten dollal
bill | gave YOU"
YES, so | perceive. You are very gen
erous. II is not often that | receive Sc
large a fee. A comfortable thing it is to
have IA bank-note in ones pocket" and
then he gave some amusing illustrations
of selfishness, and another ten minutes OF
precious time was consumed
Again the groom ventured to remind
the parson that he had not returned the
change he had expected, and he hesltat
ingly suggested:
"Perhaps you did not think that the
bill | handed YOU for your services was &
ten, did you, Parson Allen?"
"Oh, yes, noticed that it was | assure
Won that | have not been SO agreeably sur
prised for II long time. | always think
on such occasions that the husband has
an appreciative regard for his worthy
partner, and | presume that you regarc
your wife that now is worth AT least ter
dollars, and doubt ify"u would have the
knot united for twice that sum, woult
you, Mr.. NJ
"Not l." said the nonplused bride
groom ''But is there not regular fee
which the minister is allowed to take fo
marrying people,"
"Not that | am aware Of" Responded
the parson. .We always leave the tee Il
| be fixed by the parties who get married. ;
And } the bridegroom, evadcd at al
points, gave up the effort to get back an.
change.

J of the boat, and is to be provided with
| thwarts when the boat is finished
Such box, however, is not a boat, and
would make but sorry appearance were
you to attempt 10 navigate it. Let us try
for something rather more "ship shape"
Make then, of the same thickness of ma
terial, flat bottom for your boat, fifteen
or sixteen feet long, pointed at both ends,
and of such width that the corners of the
box will Just reach its edges. Fasten your
box securely to this. Now you have a
:" box on raft" but not so weatherly a
concern as the old "Monitor" was when
she steamed into Hampton Roads. You
would still find difficulty in successfully
not nondescript.
Well, then, next make a cutwatert
each end. The same sized stuff will an
swer. 1t can be made straight or sloping.
just as you fancy.
You have now the body, bottom and
ends of your boat, and it no doubt begins
to look little more shapely. But it needs
sides yet. Make these of halfinch stuff,
in narrow slips, three or four inches in
width. Nail these slips to each cutwater.
They will, as you at once see, be bent out
into boat shape by the corners of the box.
You can in addition, have two uprights
fastene to the bottom of the boat, and SO
stiffeh ne whole structure. There Is no
need, for a reason that will presently ap-
pear, of being very particular about the
Joints.
Now you have a boat with five open
spaccs-the body, triangular space at
each end, and space of few inches on
each side: and it will probably leak like
sieve. Not a very good boat, after all.
"Bide vice." as the Scotch say. Fill
in these open places, except the body,
with cork shavings, pressed down tightly.
These shavings can be procured in New
York for about fifteen cents a pound.
Then deck over the top with thin stuff,
keeping your deck about two inches be-
low the edges of the box, so that the lat
ter may serve as wash-board"
Now you have what promised you-a
good, cheap boat. The water will not
penetrate the cork, which will give great
buoyancy to your craft. If you want a
sailboat, it will be better TO make the
stern square. Such a6boat will carry a
lateen or felucca sail, like a lib; the up
per side of the sal! being supported by
pole, which is at the same time yard and
mast, and is fixed in a "step" at the
bows.
Details of finishing must, of course, be
left to the builders ingenuity; but boat
constructed on this general plan will
hardly fail to give great satisfaction to
her owner and prove serviceable for a
long time.-N. Y. Independent

THERE is many boy or young man
living by pond or lake or stream who
would like to own IA boat. But first-class
boat is expensive; and even a common
one, as ordinarily constructed, must be
carefully put together or 1t will be
clumsy, leaky, and dangerous.
l am going to try to tell you how any
one of ordinary mechanical aptitude
can build himself boat that will be
staunch, manageable, and safe. The
dimensions | give can, of course, be
varied to suit the demand for larger or
smaller boat. The one | shall construct
ton paper will carry two or three per
sons.
First of all let us make provision for

inch or inch and a quarter stuff, eight
feet long, two feet wide, and one foot

you no security" said the peer Your
Lordship's note of hand will suffice" was
the response. The offer was closed with :;
and the borrower, departing with $4,000,
left the rest on deposit. The story soon
got about and brought great aristocratIc
customers. Then it reached the Kings
ears. His Majesty desired to see such a
liberal banker, and was so delighted with
his conversation that he ordered his ac-
count to be transferred to Coutts' bank.
The royal example had plenty of imita-
tors, and the foundation of the great
bankers fortune was laid.

A YOUNG lady of respectable parentage,
living near Carlisle, Ind, made for
tunate escape from tickle marriage re-
Gently. She was engaged to be married
to young man, and every preparation
was being made for the wedding. The
day previous to the day set for the occa-
sion he called with buggy and they took
long, pleasant ride, and he left, making
arrangements to take her with him to
Virginia Immediately after the ceremony
At the appointed hour the expectant
bride was dressed, the minister and
friends were present, and the feast fully
prepared, but the young man never came
or sent any word, and when the train
came along he stepped ON board and left
without explanations.

THE SWELL.

OS the walk a hat did lie,
And a gallus chap sailed by.
And he cut a lively swell
He was clerk in a hotel;
And he gave that hat kick.
And he came across brick!
Now upon a crutch he goes
Minus half pound of toes.
MORAL.
When you see person thrown
BY misfortune or by vice,
Help him thrice or seven times thrice,
Help him up. or let alone,
III you give the man kick
You may stumble on a brick
Or a stone.
Fate is liable to frown,
And the best of Us 90 down;
And In just little while
She is liable to smile.
And the bad luck and the vice
seem to scatter in a rrice,
And to hunt their holes like mice;
And the man you tried to kick
Now has changed into brick.

objected, upon the ground that he could

they both went in together, the mate
clear under, the negro to his chin. They
both came out wiser and wettcr men.

THE Third National Tournament of
Chess-Players is to be held in Chicago,
beginning on July Z, 1874, and terminal
ing on July 20, or as soon after as con-
venient and possible. The Chicago Chess
Club has undertaken to make all neces-
sary arrangements to accommodate those
who may desire to participate. The pro-
gramme contemplates a Grand and a
Minor Tournament-the former composed
of acknowledged first class players, receiv-
ing no odds from any other player. The
latter will comprise such players as may
choose to enter the lists, and who are in
the habit of receiving the odds of at least
a pawn and move from first-class players.
Prizes will be given to successful COM
petitors in each class. The entrance fee
to the Grand Tournament has been fixed
at $40, and to the Minor Tournament at
$40. Each contributor TO the general
fund to the amour: of $5 will be entitled
| to a copy of the book of the Congress. A
copy of the rules and regulations adopted
by the committee, and other information
desirable to intending participants, can
be obtained by addressing Albert w.
