The next evening. according to the advice
he had received, Doctor Collins called upon
Mary Frazier. As she arose to greet him, a
sudden uplifting of pair of soft brown eyes,
and up-surging of the tell-tale blood con-
vinced him that he was on the right track.
"Of course" he said, taking her hand, and

WEDDING FEES.

The great embarrassment in weddings is
that the principal parties thereto, "the party
of the first part, and the party of the second
part" have usually had no experience in that
ine Occasionally, an old widower will come
forward, who is used to it, and 90 through the
whule ceremony with the coolness of an adept
We are told of one old veteran who, when
requested by the clergyman to rise replied,
81 usually Sit" Another usually employed
DR.. Spring for such services" But these
specimens are as rare as springs in the des-
ert. Generally the parties are inexperienced.
They may have "talked it over," and "prac-
ticed," and "rehearsed;" :" but to practice on
the parade ground is very different from fac
ing the enemy. Besides it adds to the en-
barrassment to feel that it can be done but
once. There is no chance to correct mistakes
"next time" No doubt many couple have
felt with the poet,
GAIL things could be done so nice,
If we could only do them twice."
The giving of the wedding-fee to the cler-
gyman ought not to be embarrassing, one
would think, as it is not public perform
ance. But the very privacy Of il, and the at
tempt to do it slyly, and to seem entirely un-
conscious of what both clergyman and groom
are most intensely conscious of, makes this
part of the ceremony often the most awk-
ward of the whole. The ways of doing it are
most infinitely various. and some of them al
most infinitely comical. Sometimes there is
business.like frankness about the affair
which is refreshing. The bridegroom him
self, when he engages the services of the min.
ister wants to know "what the charge is !"
This is embarrassing again for the minister,
as there is no standard charge, and the best
he can do is to give the legal fee which a JUS
tice receives, ard feels he ought to receive.
Often the bridegroom has an eye to business
even then, and wants to know if less will not
do. Of course it must do. We read of a
Methodist preacher, who replied to one who
asked as to how much was the customary fee,
that "liberal people would give twenty dol
lars; some only gave ten; and once in
while stingy fellow would come and offer
FIVE dollars" Another Methodist preacher,
who had received one-dollar bill, wrote on
the back of it, "This dollar-bill is all l re-
ceived for marrying such a couple" giving
their names, and then sent the bill circulating.
One gentleman paid dollar, and blandly re.
marked, II suppose you would like all you
could do ofthis work." As the recording would
cost fifty cents, and the certificate twenty-five,
the remark might have been intended as q
piece of grim humor, but it was not 80 in

The JEw.-The Jew still walks the earth
and bears the stamp of bis race upon his fore.
head. He is still the same being as when he
first wandered forth from the hills of Judea.
If his name is associated with avarice and
extortion, and spoken in bitterness and scorn,
vet in the morning of History, it gathers round
it recollections sacred and holy.
Tbs Jew is miracle among the nations.
A wapderer in all lands, he has been wit
ness of the great events Of history more than
eighteen hundred years. He saw classic
Greece when crowned with intellectual tri-
umphs. He fingered among that broken but
beautiful architecture that rises like tomb
stone over the grave of her departed splendor.
The Jew saw Rome, the "mighty heart" of
all nations, sending it's own ceaseless life's
throb through all the arteries of it's vast EN-.
pire. He, too, has seen that heart cold and
still in death. These have persisted, yet the
Jew lives on-the same silent, mysterious, in
destructible being. The shadow of the cres-
cent rests on Palestine, the signet of a con-
queror's faith-still the Jew and his religion
survive. He wanders captive in the streets
of his own once 9ueenly Jerusalem, to medi'
tate sadly and gloomily on the relics OF an
cient power. Above him shines the clear
sky, fair as when it looked down on the tow
ers of Zion but now, alas! beholds only a
desolate city and an unhappy land. The
world is his home. The literature of the an
cient Hebrew triumphs over all creeds, and
schools, and sects. Mankind worship in the
sacred songs of David, and bow to the divine
teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who also was
a son of Abraham. Such is the Jew. His
ancient dreams of empire are gone. How sci.
dom do we realize, as we see him in our city
streets, that he is the creatureofsuch strange,
peculiar destiny. Neither age, nor country,
nor climate, have changed him. Such is the
Jew, strange and solitary being, and such
the drama Of his long and mournful history.

A TARTAR,s IDEA OF COURTsHIP.

if she says yes, and her parents don't refuse,
we marry her."
"But if the girl does not like you, if she hits
you on the head with her whip, or gallops
away when you ride up to her side" replied
the Tartar, referring to his nations method
of courtship by running after the girl on
horseback, "what do you do in that case p
"Why, we do not marry her."
"But if you want to marry her very much ;
if you love her more than your best horse,

the Tartar persisted, putting an extreme case
for the sake of the argument.

The First Dollar.

Many years ago gentleman from
the town Of Methuen, Mass, while oD
a visit to q prominent merchant In
Boston, was asked by the merchant
IL be knew a boy in Methuen that be
could recommend to work in his
store. At first the merchant could
think of no one, for he knew none
but faithful, honest boy would suit
the thrifty merchant. At length,
however, he called to mind q boy OF
excellent character in his neigh0or-
hood, but feared he would hardly do,
as his parents were very poor, and he
had no education or other advantages
to fit him for such position.
But the description Of the boys
habits pleased the merchant so much
that he banded the gentleman 8 dol
lar with which to pay the boys fare
to Boston by stage, ard requested
him to send the lad to the city, and
II, on personal interview, be should
not prove satisfactory, he would pay
his fare back home again The
gentleman, as requested, visited the
boys parents, and, stating the mer-
chants proposal, advised them to
send the boy for trial. He then gave
him 3 dollar which was to pay his
fare to Boston, and departed.
Under similar circumstances,
nInety-nine out Of every hundred
bays would have said "Now for q
good time never saw the city, and
never rode in the stage. Oh, there
will be so much to see, and 1t will be
such long ride, and here is money
sent to pay my1iare ~ Not so with
this boy. Putting the money care
fully In his pocket, he said to him
self:
"This Is the first dollar 1 ever bad.
How I wish 1 could save it 1t Is on
can walk there in q day. Pl do it
and save my dollar"
His mother patched up his cloth es
as well as she could, and early next
morning the little fellow parted with
his parents st the door OF their hum
BILE home, and set cut on his long
tramp to the great city, which he
reached, tired and dusty, little bs-
fore sunset. He found the merchant,
who sternly asked {:
"Where have you been all day T?
The stage came in an hour ago W
The boy thought he had displeased
the merchant at the outset, and, with
doWncast eyes and tremulOus voice
he answered
"I did not come on the stage, sir"
"Did not CONS on the stage What
do you mean? Didn't l send you
money to pay your fare ,"
The boy thought it was all up with
him, sure, and, amid gathering tears,
he managed to reply:
"I am very sorry, sir !. [ did not
mean to offend you. l thought
would walk aud save the dollar. l
never had one before"
Placing his hand gently upon the
boys head, the merchant replied
"My little man, you did exactly right.
Coma home with me and get some
supper.
Then, turning to a bystander, he
remarked 81 wouldn't take q thou
sands dollars for this boy to-day"
That boy has grown 70 manhood
and has since become widely known
in business circles. He is now owner
of the extensive mills at Methuen,
the Pemberton mills at Lawrence, q
clearinghouse in Boston, and one of
the finest farms in Msssach usetts.-

How "Eph Holland" Carried CIneiR-

after the election was over they
played me for q sucker the same as
they did the balance" The prelImi-

made, Holland went vigorously to
work for reform. He arranged in
New York with one Mike Gleason, q
bruiser and emigrant runner, WHO
brought eighteen men with him to
Cincinnati. He then turned to
