LOVE AND DISGUST.
\ Bedford Bride Sorry of Her
Bargain, in an Hour After
Tier Marriage.
\ Bad Job Turned out by Rev
q. A. EaIApei&

y Bnd OOD IurneO out by KeV
q. A. EaIA;@ei&
Last Wednesday Morning a Miss
Himerman Of Liberty, aud a Mr.
Hudson Of BonSack's arrived in Bris-
tot, and after the usual preliminary
steps, were married by Rev. G. A.
Caldwell, at the Office Of the South.
ern Express Co. Miss q. had paid
lludson'S fare to Bristol. and gener-
ally lunched him on the way, but
when be called on her for $3.50 to
pny for the licence with, she became
rather "jubrous'' Of the prospect, but
rhe took from him lien upon a cer>
tain crop he professcd to Cwn to sc>
cure herself for the outlay, aid told
him to 60 along and bring the parson.
The parson was brought and the
matrimonial knot tied, when. to the
nmnzement of the bride, Hudson
turned to her and asked her to fur>
nish the money TO pay the parson, -
This was too much for newly married
aesh, and Mrs. II. lately Miss q.
declared she had advanced about as
much money MS she proposed to, on
this bridal tour, and if Mr.. Caldwell
should die unpaid, he might die just
that way, for she would never pay
him. They we're soon at the Thomas
House, she told him to go and bring
her trunks, and he went; She then
agreed to furnish him one luuch, and
ho lunched, but she told him it would
be the last; that she had seen enough
of him and she did not mean to have
anything further to do with him.
Poor Hudson was the impersona-
ton Of submission and obedience.--
He would carry trunks. eat stale
lunches, bear reproach, even from his
orloeI out, as TO paying, that simply
WAS not his forte, and he would not
do that.
Mrs. II. returned TO Liberty, mar
ried but husbandless. As to Hudson
she said he could tunnel there with
his finger nails, but she would have
no use for him if he came, and she
did not mean to have him 20 homo
with her at all.
But one more difficulty was In the
way. Hudson had about exhausted
her store of money, and she offered
TO cook in order to raise money to
nc turn on. Failing in obtaining a
situation as cook, she pawned her
trunks FOR a portion of the money and
sloped for Bedford, leaving Hudson
standing astride the State llne with
his lower jaw resting serencly on his
breast.

A Judge Who Sentenced
His Own Son.

Montreal letter in the Chicago
Times 1t hasn't often happened,
since the days of Brutus, that a
father has sat in judgment and
passed sentence on his sons. The
mention OF anold Canadian Judges 5
name in newspaper recalls to me
this incident in his life. The son
was addicted to liquor, and for
drunkenness was sent home from
Upper Canada College. At home
he continued his career of worth.
lessness, and one night, out of
sheer drunken folly, picked a
friends pocket of his handkerchief,
and thought it would be a rare
piece OF iun to take also his watch.
The friend had the hnmorist
arrested for highway robbery, and
in due course the young fellow
came before his own father, who
sent him to the penitentiary for
five years, and cut his Dame out
of the family Bible. Iwould like
to be able to say that the young
man reformed. Historical accur.
acy, however, compels me to de-
clare that he married, was suspec.
ted Of railroad robbery, started
a livery stable aud drank himself
to death.

had just taken. The old gentle.

if he had the extra quarter about
him it would not be refused with
scorn in part payment.
"Auother extra out, is there 2"
he remarked, moving toward the
door. cE
"When are you going to pay
that fifteen cents, hey?' SAID the
barkeeper, in raised tone of voice,
moving gently toward him.
The old gentleman nodded and
hallooed back: "Yes, Hayes is
in. Eight Of the fifteen went for
him"
The barkeeper sidled up toward
him, to get square kick, observ-
ing rather excitedly T: you are
acting very badly"
"Confound Bradley, that's Just
what l say" aud he slid out just
as the foot went up in the air, and
was visible for a moment over the
top of the swinging doors, while
the aforesaid old customer cOntin.

smile on his face as if the angels
were whispering to him.

-Four years after Mr.. and

Brooklyn, he hit her on the head
with a pie, and she wants di-

the kind of pie that was used;
some witnesses swearing that it

that it was a mince pie. This
case is being watched very

ar thro' the shadOwy vale of years,
Thy trembling feet have trod;
And how profound thy faith appears,
Thy confidence in God.
Oh, for that firm, unshaken faith,
That heavenly frame of mind;
That, even at the approach of death,
Is perfectly resigned!
Nay waiting, anxious for the change,
That soon or late must come,
A heart no purpose can estrange,
Fixed on its long sought home.
May thoughts like these my soul pervade
My loved and honored friend;
A holy calmness undismayed,
That contemplases the end.
With almost Tapturous delight,
Anticipates the time;
The spirit plumes her heavenly flight,
In ecstaey sublime. re~
All, what strange, bewildering maze
OF mingled joy and woe;
If like thee, blest with length Of days,
Pm destined yet to know.
What snares await my unwary feet,
What countless blessings tool
0, Father grantme patience meet,
And safely guide me through.
That when arrives the appointed hour,
Full well prepared TO die;
Pll yield to deaths resistless power,
Without shuddeIing sigh.
SO deeply, deeply I'll have drank,
OF LIES embittered cup;
That like thee, loved and gentle friend,
I'll gladly yield it up.
