A Woman's Work.

To see a woman driving a tack is
something worth observing. She will
first proceed 70 fill her mouth with ma
terial, then take ore, stick in the Of
Tending CT pet and, firmly clutching the
hammer in her right hand, prepare TO
come down on the innocent tack. But,
alas for female calculation, she misses
it and pounds her finger instead The
hammer is dropped and the injured
member is instantly thrust in the fem
mime mouth. The offspring who is up
setting the tacks is slapped and other
means are found TO relieve the feelings,
when business is proceeded with again
and the tack again stuck in its place.
This time the hammer hits II, but
knocks it on one side-a blow being Civ
EN- sideways TO straighten it, which
knocks the point clear of; another one
is tried, and after a succession of thumps
sometimes on the finger, sometimes
on the thumb, and occasionally on the
floor, and occasionally on the tack-it
is finally driven in. And so the opera
ton is repeated until the carpet is down,
AND disheveled female with red fin
gers, red face and inhamed temper
stands looking at her work, and con-
graduates herself on having finished il
at last.-Redding Times.

An Odd Marriage.

A novel marriage ceremony was per-
formed at Washington few days ago
by 90 Unitarian clergyman from Bos-
tom The bride was the third daugh-
ter of Mr.. ;. z. Brown, was handsome
ly dressed, OF course, and equally OF
course looked pretty and frightened. .
The groom was Samuel l.. Mattingly
and the unnamed clergyman was
"pompous in manner and faltering in
speech" He sung out the name OF
Samuel while reading the marriage
certificate. He afterwards asked for
two rings, and, turning his back upon
the bride and groom, held ring in each
hand and called upon the company 70
witness that there were two rings they
were round, which was symbolical of the
marriage. Then he informed the guests
that the rings were of geld-another
piece of valuable information; no base
metal this time. After the rings were
sufficiently eulogized, he wheeled
around and addressed the trembling
pair and told the groom TO put one ring
on the brides finger, and she must put
the other on the gentleman's finger,
and both repeat, "With this ring | thee
we'd" After a prayer, he announced
that the deed was done, and that Mr.
and Mrs. SAMUEL Mattingly were pre-
pared to receive the fluctuations OF
their friends. Every one said they
never saw or heard of such a ceremony
before, and, no doubt, the minister in.
tended TO produce that impression.
