left Auburn for Opelika to become man

ton; but love laughs at that when .
railroad is near. Arrived at their des-
tination, the gentleman soon procured q
license and minister, when the marriage
ceremony began. 1t had gotten as far as
the joining hands, and the words making
them one were almost announced, when
the fair one peremptorly backed out,
and no persuasions could induce her to
go further. The pair returned to Au-
burn unmarried. A wise thought prob
ably influenced the maiden.

had promised on the wedding day to
live with her uutil death should part
them, and that he wasn't the man to

The SUN Cholera Mixture.

From the Journal Of C0mnterce.)
More than forty years ago, when it
was found that prevention for the Asiat-
ic cholera was easier than cure, the learn
ed doctors Of both hemispheres drew up
q prescription, which was published (for
working peopie) in The New York Sun,
and took the name Of 1.-The Sun Cholera
Mixture" Our contemporary never lent
its name to better article. We have
seen it in constant use for nearly two
score years, and found it to DO the best
remedy for looseness Of the bowels ever
yet devised. 1t is to be commended for
several reasons. 1t is not to be mixed
with liquor, and therefore will not be
used as an alcoholic beverage. Its ingre-
dents are we'll known among all the
common people, and it will have no pre-
judice to combat; each Of the materials
is in equal proportions to the others,
and it may therefore be compounded
without professional skill; and as the dose
is so very small, it may be carried in .
tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket, and
be always at hand. 1t is:
Tinct. opii,
Capsici,
Rhei CO.,
Menth pip,
Campho.
Mix the above in equal parts: dose,
ten to thirty drops. In plain terms,
take equal parts tincture OF opium, red
pepper, rhubarb, peppermint, and cam
phor, and mix them for use. In case of
diarrhoea take dose of ten or twenty
drops 10 three or four teaspoonfuls Of
water. No one who has this by him and
takes it in time will never have the chol-
era. We commend it to our Western
friends, and hope thot the receipt will
be widely published. Even when no
cholera is anticipated it is an excellent
remedy for ordinary summer complaint.

SKETCH OF ALFONSO THE TWELFTH OF
SPA1N.-Alfonso the Twelfth, SOD of tue
x-Queen Isabella, who has been proclaimed
King of Spain, was born on the 2Sth of No
vember in the year 1857. He has conse-
quently passed tie seventeenth year Of his
age. He was baptized Alphonse Francois
d'Assisse Ferdinand Pie jean Marie de la
Conception Gregoire. His Holiness, the
Pope, was one of the sponsors (by proxy,
and honored Isabella and her family by per-
hitting the infant to have his own name,
Jean Marie. The young Prince has been
educated in q very careful manner, in strict
accordance with the discipline of the Cath
Ollie Church. He is robust in person, of
active habits and has enjoyed good train
ing under military instructors, French and
English. The Prince of the Asturias is
younger than the Prince Imperial of France
by q year and eight months but it has
been already intimated by English juven-
lies in the Woolwich Academy, who have
known both of the young men, that if the
crowns of France and Spain we're set up as
the prizes of fisticuff contest between them
the youthful Spaniard would come off the
victor in the rOped arena" and the Eng
lish boys are keen judges of pluck and
muscle. The two princes are, however,
very excellent friends.

THE ADVANTAGE OF READING THE LIVES
OF THE SAINTs.-This seems to be one of
the great advantages in reading the lives
of the saints in preference to other books,
viz, that a personal affection springs up in
the heart for the saint whose life is under
confederation. His human history has al
WA, much in it touching upon our own he
ias lis surrows, psins and joys, his tempta-
lions and darkness, and-he may have had
ais tails. Then his purity and confidence,
his love of his kind-so generous and I'M,
selfish, are all sweet to think upon whilst
his image becomes even more bright and
distinct within the mind He becomes a
dear aud trusted friend he can cheer our
sorrow, and point the way lovingly to
the Cross. How many saints have not
been made by thinking on the saints !--DT.

The discussion as to what ought to he
the Banner of France has been revived in
Paris within in these last few days by the
publication of book on the National EN-
blems of the Country, by M. Gustave
Desjardine. Accordingly to the ROyalists,
the white cornet was the elder Symbol |;
according to the Republicans, the Tricolor.
The latter maintain that under Louis
Qustorze the French arms showed three
Feur. de Iys fags-red, white, and blue
grouped on each side so as 90 form the Tri-
color. Whereas the Legitimis.s insist with
some show of reason on the greater antiquity
of the white cornet, as we'll as on the ancient
use of white for scarfs, planes and cock
AIDES. White, which was adopted by
Henri Quatre, was undoubtedly the old
symbol of the Huguenots. The white
cOrnet, however, was introduced in the
sixteenth century as sign of superior
authority. Formerly in the Royal Navy of
France both red and blue fuEtered from
the masthead, blue alone after some time
being adopted. Louis the sixteenth re-
tanned the white flag for his own royal en-
sign. Eventually the colors of Paris, red
and blue, after the fall of the Bastille were
united with the Kings white banner, and
in this way the Tricolor came to be adcp-
ted as the standard Of the Revelation.
