THE WEDDING FEE.

One morning, nfty years ago.
When apple trees were white with snow
Or fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell bound with the perfume rare,
Upon farm horse, Large anu lean,
And lazy with It's double load,
sun-browned youth ana maid were seen
JoSg ns along the wIndIns road.
Blue were the arches of the skies,
But bluer were that maieue eyes.

DRtNKlNG-CUP FOR THE SICK.-Every
invalid and every nurse knows the .liscom-
fort there is in receiving or administering
water or any liquid from a spoon or
ordinary cup. when the head is on the pill
low. Some of it is sure to escape from the
mouth, and make the sick one feel and
look untidy. A very convenient cup for
the sick is made with a spout of such
proportions that the invalid can drink
from it with ease without raising the heal.
1t Is said TO be wise lin times of peare 10
prepare for war" So in times OF health
it is wise to prepare ourselves 10 care for
the sick. for scarcely any house escapes
this service.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE. By
j. X. Green, M. A. Examiner in the School of
Modern History, Oxford. With maps and tables.
Harper Brothers, New York, Publishers. For
sale by Loring, Short g. Harmon.
The aim of this volume of 803 pages is well
expressed in lis preface: that st is history
not of English Kings or English conquests,
but of the Euglish Pc >ple" The author has
preferred to pass lightly and briefly over the
details of foreign wars and diolOmacies, the
personal adventures of kings and nobles the
pomps of courts, or the intrigues of favorites,
and to dwell at length on the incidents of
that constitutional, intellectual, and social ad
vance in which we read the history of the ma
tion ITSELF" 1t is with that purpose that he
has devoted more space to Chaucer than to
Cressy, to Caxtop than to the petty strife of
Yorkst and Lancastrian, to the Poor Law Of
Elizabeth than to her victory at Cidiz, to the
Methodist Revival than to the escape of the
young Pretender." In this style OF treatment the
author has given US one of the best short his
tories of England that has ever been published
There is of course at the present day but little
room to improve upon the standard English
histories in the way of additional historical in
formation, but the author has shown in thi
work wonderful skill in so selecting and com
bining the facts of more extended works as to
give within the limits of this single volume a
most complete and graphic picture of the re-
ligious, intellectual and industrial progress of
the English nation from the landing of Hen
gist and Horsa until the present day. An ex-
| celent feature of this work is the absence OF
partisanship on the part of the author, and
impartiality of treatment in the description of
historical characters and events; feature to
which few OF English and American writers
can rightfully lay claim.

Current Notes.

As Bunker Hill was a birthplace of our lib
critics, may it not to-day be consecrated anew
as the birthplace of fraternal union among
the States, deeper, stronger, aud purer than
any that has ever before existed?-N. Y.
Commercial.
Who would have dreamed, hundred years
ago, that the little battle on Bunker's Hill
would, through the help of tanned lightning,
be simultaneously celebrated by forty millions
of Americans and rejoiced in by the most
intelligent Britons?- Y. Mail.
The warmth of welcome extended, without
dissenting voice, to the military organiza-
tions fiom the South, most of whose mem
bers are eX-confederates, furnishes convincing
proof of the sincerity of New England's de
sire for complete restoration of fraterDal
feeling, that the Union may be one of hearts,
based on unselfish patriotism and love of a
common country.-Hartord C0urant.
The St. Louis Globe says that the present
age has made chemical calf before which it

Gen. Connor was one of Names war
heroes, who rose by his own merits to high
rank, and who bears IN his body the marks OF
the conflict in which he engaged with great
credit to himself and the State. He is cool,
judicious man, amply qualified by his talents
and his unstained character TO fill the place
of governor worthily. If experience in State
affairs is lacking it will scarcely prove an
great objection after the excellent speech IN
which Gen. Connor accepted the nomina-
tion.-Boston Adrertiser.
The Republicans of Maine have united in
one grand effort for the preservation of liberty
and law, and their exposition and enforce
ment by the party which saved the nation.
The enthusiasm of the convention was most
pronounced and there was every indication
that this earnestness was to be carried
into effective action during the political cam
paign and at the polls. For an undemon-
strative people, our Maine friends have been
unwontedly arous ed; we shall look to see
them evince that determined persistency
which is ruling characteristic of our New
England folks.-Prouidence Journal.

Mr.. HAYDEN of Madison in communi-
cation to the Maine Standard says that in
due time he will be able to show that he has
the town of Madison-that the irregularities
occurred before he was selectnan, and that
he will be able to prove it if the records have
not been destroyed. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Hayden will be able to rid himself of the
suspicious of his townsmen in this affair.
The report of the Committee to investigate
the matter, has, we understand, been ordered
to be printed by the town. That will be
more conclusive than any denial.

DIR. PENTACK of Oakland, California, has
been trying the Frankenstein experiment,
and not with the happiest results. He was
insanely in love with young woman of that
place, but she did not reciprocate his affec-
ton. She was taken i'll, and bis professional
aid was called for. When he saw her the
idea took possession of his crazy brain that if
he could only get two quarts of her blood he
could construct from it an exact counterpart
of her. So he bled the girl, and nearly killed
her. Two hours after the police found him
in his room, boiling the blood in kettle, and
mixing chemicals with it. He begged pite.
ously to be left alone, declaring that his proc
ess was certain to evolve living woman
within few minutes. The would-be Pyg-
malion is now in lunatic asylum, where he
talks of nothing but his process of making
human beings from blood.

a quiet city of San Francisco; but its munich

they put their minds to it, and that the
ability of one boy even in this direction is
not to be despised. Wouldn't it be better to
