Meauness.

Nobody ever gained anything by
meanness. and yet meanness is quail
ty often manifested by men from whom
we have right to expect better things.
Observers take notice and shun every
one who practises il. How often have
we observed meanness practised by
those in temporary power over those
who, for the time being, hapen to be in
an inferior position, and how often have
we observed those interiors rising into
the high places of society, and becom-
ing dispensers of favors TO those who
have arbitrarily injured them when
they possessed the power, and how Of
ten have we heard of people recklessly
calumniate others whom they thought
too insignificant to be of service to them,
and after a series of years and change
of circumstances, we have known these
same people TO bitterly lament that they
had forfeited the favor of these once in
significant individuals by their impru
dence. Ii costs 4 man nothing to be
magnanimOus, and as matter of policy
merely he cannot make better invest
ment. What is more than all, magma
nimity ennobles the character of a man,
and insures him the feeling of self-re-
spect which he cannot do without.
Lacking this, position. wealth, are
mere shadows, but self-respect which
magnanimous men enjoy throws a
charm about their whole existence, and
not only do they have capacity for
the highest enjoyment, but they are
enabled to promote the welfare of others,
the reflection of which upon themselves
constitutes the only elevated happiness
which human nature is capable of ex-
periencing.

Bridal Wells.

We have learned to consider white as
essentially bridal costume, but it has
not been always so; and even now the
Bokhara bride wears a roSe-cOlored veil
on her marriage day, and in the modern
Greek islands the bridal veil is of red
silk-a custom which has descended,
no doubt, from the ''flamen, z" or red bri-
dal veil of ancient Greece; the Romans
in old days wearing yellow wells. The
Armenian bride, on the most important
day of her life, appears in what closely
resembles sack made of rich silk, COM
pletely enveloping the figure, feet and
head. The face is further hidden by a
linen veil over which falls another of
gold tinsel, and part of the ceremoni-
al is for the priests wife TO die the nails
of the bride a deep red with henna. In
Turkey, the bride appears in rich white
satin brOcade, shot with silver, and be-
dizzened with pearls, jeweled girdle
around her waist, her face painted-a
crimson patch the shape of heart on
her chin, the rest of the visage mass
of white, except the eblack-penciled eye
brows. Our marriage ceremonies are
remarkable for their antiquity, and
have varied but little. The wedding
ring, which the Puritans repudiated as
a Satanic bauble, has been worn from
time TO time on the right or left hand,
the reason for its present assignment to
the latter being a tradition, whether
authentic or not, that some vein in the
third finger of the left hand has spe-
cial connection with the heart. Our
bridal veil is of modern Introduction,
though it is said to have replaced the
Anglo-SaXon custom of the bride wear
ing her hair floating on her shoulders.
For many years nothing but the wreath
was worn owes loose tresses. Bridal fa-
yors are said to be of Danish origin, and
at one time these were made not Of
white, but in the brides own colors,
whatever they might be- CdsseiPs

Strange Revelation by the Microscope

There is story that an eminent mi
crOscOpist had bit of substance sub
mitted to him to decide what it was.
To an unaided eye it might be a morsel
of skin which baggage-smasher had
knocked off the corner of smoothly
worn hair trunk. The sdrdRt appealed
to his microscope. Entirely ignorant
of this tiny bit of matter, except as he
had taken counsel with his instrument,
the wise man declared that it was the
skin of human being, and that, judg-
ing by the fine hair on it, it was from
the sO-called naked portion of the body,
and, further, that it once belonged to a
fair person. The strange
facts now made known to the man of
science were these: That, a thousand
years before. Danish marauder had
robbed an English church. In the
spirit of the Old-fashioned piety the
robber was flayed (let us hope that he
was killed first. and the skin was nailed
to the church door. Except as tradition
or archaeological lore had il, the affair
had been forgotten for hundreds of
years. Time, the great erodent, had
long ago utterly removed the offensive
thing. Still, however, the church door
held to its marks of the great shame,
for the brOad-headed nails remained.
Somebody extracted one, and under
meath its fiat head was this atomic rem
nant of that ancient Scandinavian male
factors pelt-that fair-skinned robber
from the North.
