A Marriage Discount.

\ few days since one of our Boston
divinss was called upon to snite jolly
old couple in the bonds of matrimony,
and just as they were pronounced man
and wife another couple entered the
room to be Joined likewise. The mo-
ment the two latter entered they were
somewhat surprised at seeing the divine
receive the splendid ransom of a new
and bright halfdollar from the hands of
the newly-married bridegroom. Our
eminent divine Immediately thrust the
money into his pocket, and then, con-
graduating the happy pair, bade them
adieu, and at once commenced his duties
in performing the marriage life for the
remaining couple. Being pronounced
man and wife, the youthful husband
thrust his hand into his pocket and pull
led out the very same amount, an equal
ly bright half-dollar, and presented it TO
the divine, whereupon the good man
looked with profound astonishment at
the insignificant amount and remarked:
"AIy customary fee on such occasions
is So"
"You married the last ugly old
couple" said the indignant bridegroom,
"for 80 cents, and now you dare to tax
me ten times that amount, merely be-
cause we are a young couple" The
good divine, placing his glasses several
inches above his nose, looked the young
man full in the face, and said:
Il have never married you but this
once, while have married the former
man five times. and on such occasions
duty demands liberal discount to the
trade" Suffice it to say the remaining
81 so were forthcoming, and, with a
smile, the bride and bridegroom took the
nearest way to the door.
Spiritualism has recently gained a
very strong hold upon the Mormons
and very large proportion of them
have declared themselves believers in
it. 1t is said to be very difficult to per-
suade those who abandon the Mormon
faith to adopt Christianity, and if Nor
monism ever passes away, most of itf
believers will be likely to become Spirit
ualists or downright Materialists.

Rock Spring.

The Tax Assessor, Esq. Allen, visited
our distri It last week, and took cor
rect list of the canine polls OF the oath.
Some of the dogs hid themselves under
the house and could not be cOaXed to
come out until the ESQ. was out of sight.
DIR. r; I. Long says his dog improved
greatly in his already good qualities
several days before the Esq advent in
the neighborhoOd, fearing, doubtless
of being scalped, but the Doctor says he
never intended his dog should suffer on
account of an injudiciOus act of the Leg
islature.
The spelling matches have missed our
quiet little illage, but we are stricken

seems to suffer greatly, mentally. as
they say they spend many sleepless
nights, especially when they have seen
one OF the opposite sex, who is likewise
diseased. When they meet such one
they consult as to their malady, and if
they can agree they go to Nick Akin for
a panacea.

DR.. r. T. Long, sprained his ankle
last Friday while playing game of ball

and would not kill himself.
Mr.. A. J. Huey worked the road
from Rock Spring, to the mouth of CeS

the hands said if Mr.. Journey would
treat to a gallon of corn juice, they
would open the road, which he agreed
to; so they detailed man to go to Co

some of them wanting theirs in tcbac>

Spring Hill.

On Monday morning last tall, hand
some young gentleman with hair and
whiskers highly periumed, and bad on
the latest style beegum hat, lavender
colored pants, andkid gloves, was seen
carly that morning vending his way to
Williamson county, to thresh wheat.
He had engaged to do the throsbing of
the largest crop in the State. We fear
that the improved crop prospects this
year has abliterated the lessons of econ
prIy, taught by the failure last season.
No country on earth can beat the Spring
Hill boys for style.
