Married "Fuil Up.o

In Virginia, where the law fixes the mar
riage fee at one dollar, there is a remin-
iscence of couple who many years ago
called on a parson and requested him to
marry them.
"Where is my fee?" said the old
functionary.
The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did SO at once, and found
the joint amount to be twenty-seven
cents.
Il can't marry you for that sum, .
said the irate old gentleman.
"A little bit of sarvice will go long
way" suggested the male applicant
"Ah, no, said the parson =" you don't
pay for the pill, but for the good you
hope it will do you"
The lass, intent on marriage, began to
weep; but the parson was memorable,
and the couple turned sadly to de-
part. Just then happy thought
seemed to strike the forlon maiden,
and she turned and cried through her
tears:
please, sir, if you can't marry us full
up, won't you marry us twenty-seven
cents worth? We can come for the rest
some other time"
This was too much for the parson-he
married them full up" and they went
on their way rejoicing.

ORIGIN OF THEIR NAMEs.-Many peo-
pie are puzzled to understand what the
terms " four-penny," six-penny," ten
penny mean as applied to nails. -Four
penny" means four pounds to the thou
sand nails, "six-penny" six pounds to
the thousand, and so on. 1t is an old
English term and meant, at first, ten
pound" nails (the thousand being under
stoodl; but the old Englishmen clipped
it to ten-pun;" and from that ten-pun-
ny; and so it degenerated, until penny
was substituted for pound" So, when
you ask for four-penny nails, nowadays,
you want those thousand of which will
weigh four pounds; but in these degen-
crate times, we question whether you
will get as many as a thousand in that
weight When thousand nails weigh
less than one pound, they are called
tacks, brads, etc, and are reckoned by
ounces

commerce. Captain Howgate's plan is
to keep up annual communication with
the colony, and send each summer a
vessel full of supplies and reinforce
ments. If he receives sufficient encour-
agement the colony will be permanent,
and the region will not be left until not
only the disputed questions of science
are settled, but the entire arctic region
has been explored.

Husbands and Wives. 1t is stated as
a significant fact in the experience of
prison-keepers, that while wives con-
stantly visit and condole with their hus-
bands when imprisoned, husbands sell
dom or never visit their erring wives in
prison, but almost invariably desert
them in their trouble And yet how
many ofthese poor women have suffered
brutality at the hands of criminal hus-
bands.

Mr. LoNGFELLow has touched his three
score and ten, yet he is hale and hearty
rises early, takes a light breakfast, and is
off for walk-a different direction each
day. His proofs are generally submitted
to JOHN OWEN, his former publisher and
friend. He brings his copy" to the
Office of the University Press (which is
only half mile from his residence),
written in lead-pencil, in small back
hand, clear, and mostly free from inter-
lineations and erasures. His magazine
poems are always revised or more or
less altered before their publication in
book form. Mr.. LoNGFELLow is not a
frequent diner out, though he is an oc-
casional guest at the hospitable board of
Mr.. JAMES T. FIELDS and others of his
more intimate friends. The poet makes
point that his books shall appear In
handsome typographical shape, and the
diamond edition was only allowed be-
cause the costlier books were out of the
reach of SO large class that to get at
them it was necessary to issue an edi-
ton within their means.

The greatest man is he who chooses
right with the most invincible resolution,
who resists the sorest temptation from
within and without: who bears the heavi-
est burdens cheerfully; who is the calm
est in the storm, and the most fearless
under menaces and frowns; whose IL
ance on truth, on virtue and on God is
most unfaltering.

A FERvENT APPEAL.-A good story of
a hospital Sunday sermon was told an
exchange. In district inhabited by
wealthy people, but mostly connected
with trade, and in which commercial
credit is everything, the clergyman in
question prefaced his discourse with
these words
Before commencing my appeal to
your purses, my friends, will mention
a case of conscience which has been put
to me this morning by an esteemed mem
Der of this congregation He is, he says,
to all appearance rich man. but in re-
atty is on the verge of bankruptcy. He
would wish to put his five dollar note in
the collection plate as usual; but would
it be honest, he asks, seeing that what
money he has left is, in fact, his cred
itors', and not his own. | have advised
him, dear friends, not to give; and if
any of you are in a similar unhappy
plight, also say: BE just before you
are generous Those in good circum-
stances will, on the other hand, give ac-
cording 10 their means"
1t is said that so many five dollar
notes were never seen in the collection
plate before as on the occasion of that
sagacious appeal.

iere>ting portions of the entire inve-,iga-
ton Is ihst which deals with the relation
If height to weight in growing children
Of both sexes ana of various races. Grow
ing boys are heavier in proportion To
their height than growing girls, until the
height of fifty-eight inches is reached.
Above that point the reverse is the case.
The difference between children of Amer.
lean and those Of foreign parents is con-
slant in one direction for all ages. Boys
of German parentage, who are uniformly
heavier in proportion to their height than
American boys, form the exception to
the rule. The deprivation of the COM
forts of life, curiously enough, exercises
a greater tendency to diminish the stature
than the weight of the growing child.
And finally DR.. Baxter's conclusion "that
the mean weight of the white native of
the United States is not disproportionate
to his STATURE" is, as far as boys are con-
cerned, as applicable to growing children
