MARRYING A PREsIDEST.-Appropos OF
the newspaper gossip about the bachelor
dom of Gov. Tilden, it is Of interest TO
know that the only lady who ever mar
ried a President of the United States is
Mrs. Tyler, the widow Of President Tyler,
who was an occupant Of the White House
when he married Miss Gardiner. There
was a tragedy connected with Mr.. TyleI's
wooing of this lady, which is thus told by
Washington correspondent: One day
lin 1s43) while he was courting the lady, he
was invited, together with his cabinet and
others, To take u sail down the Potomac a
little way and witness the testing of a new
cannon. Previous TO the test the party had
a social glass Of wine in the cabin below.
NJ iss Gardiner was along, and by her be-
wiiching conversation so enchanted her
Pre- esidential suitor, that he fingered in the
cabin afler the rest of the party had gone
above. Word was brought him that the
gun was about 10 be fred, and 1t was gem
tly suggested that he should come on deck.
But still he fingered fascinated. They got
tired waiting for His Exccllency, and
tOuch he'd of the gun. 1t was 4 fatal expert
meni. The cannon burst, and spread
death among the invited guests who had
come 10 witness lis triumph. Two mem
bers of The Presidents cabinet, and Mr..
Gardiner, father of the beautiful lady in
the cabin below, were killed by the ex-
plOsion. The President and Miss Gardi-
ner, by their failure TO go on deck, escaped
all injury. or course the tragedy Mortified
the nation. One day, few months later,
John Tyler packed his valise at the White
House, and ran over 10 New York and
made Miss Gardiner his bride. The en-
gagement had been kept a secret, and the
marriage came upon the New YorEers as a
surprise. A hundred guns were fired In
honor OF the event, and it was the social
event of the day. The bride was taken to
the White House, aud dispensed its hospi-
talties in queenly manner.

capital story is told at the expense of a
good lady and her pastor, in one of our
country towns which has recently been in
vaded by "Summer boarders" from the
city. The woman in question being desir-
GUS of taking boarders, early in the sum-
mer entered into negotiations with Bos-
ton lady, and the latter being particular as
to her accommodations, wrote long letter
of inquiry, asking among other things, "is
the w. c. near the rooms am to have.
am particular on this point, as one of my
children is far from WELL" What the Bos-
ton lady meant by "W. c." the good coun-
try sister had not the renotest idea, and af-
Ter pondering on the matter in vain for a
day or two, applied, as usual for the solu-
tion of her difficulties, TO her pastor. This
worthy gentlemen was at first as much puz-
zled as his questioner to discern the mean
ing of the cabalistic letters. But finally, be-
ing Methodist, and having the interests
of this church always in view, 1t dawned
upon him that "W. c." stood for Wesleyan
Chapel, of course. Anybody could see that.
Accordingly an answer was returned to the
Boston lady something like this: "Your
rooms will be found very convenient and
comfortable. The Wesleyan Chapel is not
more than quarter of a mile away, with
sittings for 400 people, which can be con-
siderably increased by carrying in stools"
What the Boston lady said when she got
the letter is not known, but they have not
ceased to wonder in that country village
why she did not go there for the summer as
she purposed, especially as it was able to
furnish all the accommodations she requir-
ed, including Wesleyan chapel near by
Springfield Union.

Do NOT CRITIcIsE.-Whateve yoa do,
never set up for critic. don't mean a
newspaper critic, but in private life, in the
domestic circle, in society. 1t will not do
any one any good, and 1t will do you harm
if you mind being called disagreeable.
If you don't like any one's nose, or OBJ
iect to any ones chin, don't put your feel
ings into words. If any ones manners
don't please you, remember your own.
People are not made TO suit one taste; rec
ollect that. Take things as you find them,
unless you can alter them. Even dinner,
after 1t is swallowed, can't he made any
better.
Continual fault-fnding, continual erti-
cism of the conduct Of this one, the dress OF
that one, and the opinions of the other, will
make home the unhappiest place under the
sun. If you are never pleased with any
one, no one will ever be pleased with you.
And If 1t is known you are hard 10 suit,
few will ever be pleased with you. And II
1t is known you are bard to suit, few will
take paiaz TO salty

A good story is told and vouched for by
a we'll known auclioneer in this city. Some
year or more ago the auclioneer had for
sale a large lot of homeopathic medicines,
the little white pellets of which the patient
dissolves in a pallrul of water 10 a dose.
When the sale occurred all these medicines
were dumped into one pile, and disposed
OF in one lot, there being various kinds Of
medicine in the mass. A boarding house
keeper bought the lot, and some days amer
the purchase the aucLioneer asked her,
"What did you want with that homeopathic
medicine, Mrs. -f' "She replied, al
thought 1 could use 1t and 1t was so cheap,
so crushed 1t under the roller and then
filled my sugar-bowls with 1t. The board
ers seemed 10 like 1t, aud especially when
powdered over pies."-BostOR ItdVeller.

Brigham has map OF Arizona in the

now has his emissaries spying out the

Brigham is able to render Arizona a
service in at least one respect. His serfs
are just the material to open up Arizona
in an agricultural point Of view. After
having done that the Gentiles will be apt
to step in and attend to its mineral re-
sources, and in course of tune supplant
them. The Mormons perhaps have set
tied up some OF the most sterile country

Of their religion, mad 9 up as it is Of one
mass OF decisions. When commanded
to do thing they have no other alterna-
tive but to obey. They have been made
to serve purpose. aud when they can
no longer be utilized as pioneers their
mission will have been fulfilled, and
Mormonism will naturally "peter out 3"
before the advancing tide Of intelligence,
for 1t is but too well known that the
masses OF the Mormon Church are OF the
very lowest order of intelligence, and
only require education to see themselves
as they are seen.
