Oliver Wendell Holmes writes: oul

her bonnet well back upon her head,

A Sierra Weddlng.

An incident Of story by Joaquin
Miller is marriage ceremony asper-
formed by Sierra Judge between a
miner and the only woman in camp. II
occurred in q barroom that wns crowded
with miners. The Judge had sent to
San Francisco for n form Of the service,
but II had not arrived, and his conse-
quent embarrassment was so great rs to
endanger his reputation as the greatest
man in the diggings. "Do you solemn-
ly swear" he began, with q mighty Of.
fort after IN awkward pause OF hesita-
ton. He hold up his hand rs he said
this, and laboriously added: "To love,
and honor, md obeyf" II was very
painful. The little man took down his
lifted flagstaff to wipe his little bald
head and he could not get 1t up again,
but stood there still and helpless. You
could hear the men breathe as they
leaned and listened with all their might
to hear. At last the Judge revived, and
began again, In voice that was full Of
desperation "Do you solemnly swear
to love and protect, and honor and obey
till death do you part; and"- Here
the voice fell down low, lower, and the
Judge was again foundering in the
water. Then his head went under
utterly. Thon he rose, and "Now /
lay me down 10 sleep" rolled tremu-
lousy through the silent room from the
lips Of the Judge. Then again the head
was under water then IL rose up again,
and there was something like "Twinkle,
twinkle, little star" Then the voice
died again; the head was under water.
Then L rose again, and the head went
up high in the air, and the voice was
loud aud resolutc, and the man rose on
his tip-toes, and beginning with " When
in the course Of human events, he went
on in deep and splendid tone with tho

What Came r, Of a Smoke.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Gillen, a couple
well advanced in years, reside in their
own house In Reed street, Brooklyn.
Mr.. Gillen owns three or four small
houses in tho neighborhood, and the
rents from these afford him n sufficient
income TO live upon without engaging in
any business,
The only drawback to the happiness
Of the old couple was an asthmatical
affection with which they were both
Affected. Like thousands Of other suf-
iers they Ind tried the thousand and one
remedies recommended, but had found
very little relief. The old gentleman,
however, found some little relief in
smoking, SO he persuaded his wife to
try his remedy. She consented, and he
purchased two new clay pipes and q
paper OF tobacco. The old gentleman

smoking upon person not accustomed
TO IL, nor did ii occur to him until lie
saw q pallor overspreading his wife's
face. As size dropped the pipe and

to him that the tobacco was the cause
Of it. The agony she suffered caused
him 10 roar.
Mrs. Gillen next had m internal dis
turbancc, and the old gentleman found
1t necessary to hold her head and per
form other kind and afiectionate duties
for the next half hour, which the occa-
sion required. The old lady between
her gasps for breath poured q shower Of
abuse on the old man, denouncing him
rs IN old brute, and charged him with
having tried to poison her. He could
not keep from laughing at the ludicrous
faces which the old lady made OF each
sjsm. This only tended to aggrayate
tic old lady and she finally declared
that she would get divorce. That as
soon as she was able to get out she
would consult o lawyer. Bi
A lady living in the upper part Of the
house, who was called down during the
old lady's sickness, thought itwas too
good to keepand so told the neighbors.

William penn,s speech.


The coming great centennial in Father
Penn's State brings pleasantly to mind
that wonderful old Quaker peacemaker
and peacekeeper. His speechof covenant
to the red men, under the great elm tree
in Kensington Qndian ShQckamacon)
will long be remembered. He said:
eve meet on the broad pathway Of
faith and goodwill. No advantage shall
be taken on either side, but all Rhnll be
openness and love. / will not call you
children, for parents sometimes chide
their children too severely; nor brothers
only, for brothers differ; the friendship
between thee and me / will not compare
to chain, for that the rains may rust or
the falling tree may break; wo aro the
same, as II one mans body were 10 be
divided into two parts; we are all one
flesh and blood"
This speech Of Penn's, and conduct
corresponding thereto, were the reasons
why perfect peace prevailed between the
Indians and Penn's colony, while every
ten miles Of New England soil was the
scene OF IN Indian massacre. On one
occasion only did the Indians manifest
any displeasure at the conduct Of VIII
liam Penn orany Of his associates. This
was when Penn made his second pur-
chase Of land from the Indians. The
contract was that, for certain number
OF knives, beads, handkerchiefs, etc., he
was to have as much land as q white man
could walk around in a. day. By the
advice Of Penn's associates they engaged
On Englishman, accustomed to travelling,
who walked nearly as fast as a horse
could trot. When Penn came TO settle
with them, the Indians were cross and
sullen. Penn inquired the reason; and
asked them II it was not their own bar
gain, and why they were displeased.
They said: eyes, Il was their own bar
gain, but the white brother took too big
o walk. They never knew man make
such walk before"
Some OF Penn's associates said the In

bargain, but Penn said TINT would in.

them how many more beads and blankets

Righteous indignation is always prop.

there is something worth getting angry
at. An exchange tells this yeast story,
and wittily styles it IN example OF lady

Apog on Duty.

When the "Spafkers were in the
Crimea, large dog, / don't exactly
know Of what breed, but universally ad-
mired for beauty and intelligence, at-
tached himself to that particular corps.
Wherever the regiment marched, hc in
yariably accompanied the troopers.
Several times he went into action, and
was once seriously wounded with the
point OF q lance. It would lave boen
universally regretted had poor Lufiin's
wound proved fatal. Ono OF the farriers
undertook to dress 1t, so that, with q
little care, he soon got well again. Where
the dog came from, or who was his
original owner, nobody knew. He
would never follow m individual soldier
beyond tho barrack gates, however
kindly he might be invited /; but when
the men were in full dress, whether
mounted or on foot, provided they went
ont in body, Lufiih insisted on taking
up his proper position. One thing was
very remarliAble-he had sufficient dis
cernment TO enable him to distinguish q
"cllurcll parade" from any other. He
never showed any desire to attend
public worship.
At the beginning Of his military career
he had to pick up his living ms best he
could. He was accustomed ut meal
times TO 60 from hut to hut, or among
the fonts, when the men were Under
canvas. In some Of these habitationa
he met with good treatment and a sup.
ply OF food, but from others ho was not
unfreluently summarily and igno-
rniniotsly elected. However, Luifln, in
course OF time, was allowed regular ra-
tions at the regimental expense, toward
which all the members Of the corps con.
tributed share, from the colonel to the
drummer. The noble animal must have
been aware Of his promotion, for 1t was
observed that ho mover went "a-beg-
ging" after. One Of Luflln's marks Of
high intelligence cannot personally
youch for, but have been assured OF its
truth. TWAS said and generally believed
that he was in the constant habit of
visiting the sentries during the night,
especially in tho Crimea, to see II the
men were at their post and on the alert.
The reader must be told that, during q
campaign, the troops are often SO much
harassed and fatigued that sentrios will
occasionally fall asleep as they stand

as one Of thegrayest Of military ofionses.

The Largest Farm in tho World.

This Is rather q largo claim TO make,
even in this country where real estate
lies around in parcels Of considerable
size, but according 10 the ST. Louis
Republicaa il may bo fairly applied to
the estate OF Geo. Grant, Of the Victoria
colony in Kansas. His farm embraces
the whole county Of Ellis, is larger than
any dukedom OF Europe, and contains
576, 200 acres. Mr.. Grant deyotes him
self principally TO stock raising, and has
accomplished great deal by the intro
duction Of the best blooded stock and
exhibiting the best methods Of rearing,
feeding and improving the foreign and
domestic breeds OF horses, cattle and
sheep. Hehas just wintered Z, 600 sheep,
with q loss Of less than one per cent, the
secret Of his success lying in providing
good shelter. He Is tho owner of tho
Thoroughbred stallion Flodden, valued OF
S25, 900, the father Of which won tho
Derby race in 1860. He has just pur-
chased for his farm thirty odd brood
mares in Ohio, Virginia and Aentucky,
and he has $3.50, 900 invested in stock.
Among the largo number OF resident
colouists and stock raisers who have
purchased land Of him, and are now
raising stock in Victoria colony, are
many young men Of prominenee, both
in this country and England. The Hon:
Walter Maxwell, younger son Of Lord
Herries OF Eyeringham park, Yorkshire,
England, owns two sections, and Is com,
fortably settled down 10 the healthful
life Of the ranchero. Then there are
