Marriages in Serbia.

The fathers of two houses concerned
meet and settle the matter together, ex-
changing presents which sometimes
amount to a considerable value. Thus,
by a sort of purchase, is as useful a
member of household as grown-up
maiden surrendered by one to another.
The brother of the bride delivers her to
the solemn procession, which comes to
conduct her to her new abode and there
she is received by the sestee, q sister-in
law of the bridegroom. She dresses a
child, touches with distaff the walls,
which are SO often to see her occupied
with this implement, and carries bread,
wine and water up to the table, which it
will become her daily duty to prepare.
With these symbolical ceremonies she
enters into the new community. Her
mouth is sealed by piece of sugar, to
denote that she should utter little, and
only what is good. AS yet she is only a
stranger, and for whole year she is
termed the "betrothed. By an assump-
ton of continued bashfulness, prescribed
by custom, she keeps apart even from
her husband. In the presence of others
she scarcely converses with him, much
less would playmate phrase be permit
ted from her lips. It is only when years
have passed, and she has become the
mother of grown-up children, that she,
in reality, finds herself on an equality

blanca, distinguished French politi-
clan aud naval commander, and the
friend of Napoleon, who, you will re-

OF Casabianca's mother We know lit
tie save that she was a young and beau
tiful Corsican Lady, and devotedly at
tached to her son. Owen was her only
child, a handsome, manly little fellow,
with her beauty in his flashing eyes and
dusky hair.
She died while he was yet very young,
and when the green sod was placed
above her grave, the boy left the pleas
ant valley under the smiling hills OF
Corsica to go with his father and tread
the hard deck Of war vessel.
Mere child as he was, Casabianca soon
grew to love his fathers dangerous call
ing, and became favorite with all on
board He was made a midshipman,
and at the early age of 10 years partici-
pated with his father in the battle of the
Nile.
The ship caught fire during the action.
Soon after Capt. Casabianca, the father,
was wounded by musket ball. Not yet
disabled, he was struck in the head some
minutes later by splinter, which laid
him upon the deck insensible.
His gallant son, unconscious of the
chieftains doom, still held his post al
the battery, where he worked like the
hero he was. He saw the flames raging
around him, he saw the ships crew de-
serting him one by one, and the boy was
urged to fee.

years, he refused to desert his post

behind him.
But he was too late. The final catas

With an explosion SO tremendous thai
every ship felt it to the very bottom, the
Orient blewup. and from among the wreck
the next morning was picked up the dead
mangled body of the young hero whose
story romance and poetry cannot make
more heroic than If was.
His tragic fate has been related il
millions of homes, and the fathers glory
has been overshadowed by that of the
sons brave, faithful heart. He rests row
far beneath the waters in that classic
sunset land, and maybe the rushes of the
Nile whisper his requiem where they
tremble in the fragrant Orient breezes
that sweep from the Midland sea. And
who shall say it is not noble grave?

Joey.

A Maltese spaniel, named joey, was a
very wary and careful watchdog. He
would not go to sleep if any door was
left unfastened at night, or even the
shutters of the garden door were open.
But one rough, windy, cold night in
mid-winter, the family thought him
sorely wanting in courage.
1t was about midnight, when a loud
noise, rush and a bang awoke every
enc In the house.
A thorough search was made, but
nothing could be found different from
usual, and no traces of a robber could
be seen. Every door and window was
fastened.
joey utterly refused to help in the
search. He had jumped into his basket
almost directly after he was aroused, and
seemed to think the matter was not
worth notice.
He WAS taken out and put into the
garden, but he sat down and would not
move q step.
The family laughed and scolded bin.
