versary OF their marriage on last Satur-
day, the 9Th instant, large delegation
OF the Sunday school of which Mr.. Fair
banks has been superintendent for tif-
teen years, called upon them at their
home at Underclyffe. The callers were
announced by score of children in. the
vestibule breaking out into beautiful
song, the appropriate words of which
were prepared for the occasion. At IFS
close they were ushered into the spacious
mouse, and were followed immediately
and soon after by hundred or more
others, both old and young. They had
scarcely entered, when music from the
vestlbule was again waited in through
the half opened door, and the familiar
and suggestive words-"S hould auld
acquaintance be forgotn-were sung
sweetly by quartet of voices. Suffice
1t here to say, that although complete
surprise to the parties most interested
half hour was delightfully."- spent in
friendly and hearty congratulations
when the unlimited guests took their
leave. Rumor says that after their de-
parture, beautiful present was found in
the reception room by the occupants OF
the house, consisting of an elegant sill
yer fruit dish and spoon, put up in a
nice case, marked with monogram and
dates, with card from the Sunday
School. The whole affair was pleasant
and appropriate, and brought joy and
good cheer to many long time friends

ALLOW FOR THE CRAWL,
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

You have often, no doubt, had occasion to note,
Though the garment, at first, seemed certain to
please,
That, after some wearing, the sleeve of yeur coat
Toward the shoulder was crawling. by easy
degrees;
And that's what the clothier, of course haa in
mind,
When he said to his customer, "Long?-not at
ALL
The sleeve is all right-as you'll presently find
In cutting coat we allow for the crawl! -
The expression one wholly new to me then;
But it sets a thinking how well it applies
Not merely to coats bat TO women and men,
In matters Of life as they daily arise;
Consider the shrinkage of human affairs
The promise how great; the performance, how
SMALL
And lest disappointment should come unawares,
Remember the sleeve and Z" allow for the
crawlp"
The statesman who asks for your ballot to save
Your country, so rashly imperiled to-day
May covet an Office and not be knave
Whatever the fierce opposition may say,
But the "platform " to which he SO vaIiantIy
clings,
By which he proposes to stand or to fall
Resolutions" remember, are slippery things
And in politics always allow for the crawl"
You deeply in love with the sweetest of girls,
San angel! in hoops-only wanting the wings!
uf angels could purchase such beautiful curls)
Like seraph she smiles; like siren she sings!
All! splendid and vast are the fancies of youth;
But down to plain facts they finally fall:
And happy the couple who, finding the truth,
In conjugal kindness, s' allow for the crawl"
In brief, recollect that in human affairs
In social connections; in travel and trade;
In courtship, and marriage; in sermons and
prayers,
In fine, be prudent, though generous man;
Unfriendly with none, veracious with all;
Believe in your neighbo1s as much as you can;
And always be sure to IS allow for the crawl!'
The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1877-03-29

1t is reported that dealer in second
hand clothesliving in the Quarter Latin
in Paris has hit upon somewhat ingen-
ious idea of disposing of the garments
which are too old-fashicned or too dilap-
idated TO fetch anything like good price.
Attached to the various articles hang
ing outside his shop are modestly-written
cards containing ourcements like the
following: "Pair of trousers worn by
M. Guizot on his arrival in Paris -
"Overcoat belonging to Mr.. Littre be-
fore he became celebrated y" Dressing
gown formerly belonging to Alexander
Dumas y" Vest worn by M. Theirs
when President of the Republic" 1t is,
perhaps, needless to say that those in
teresting relics are rapidly bought and
proudly worn by the economical students
Notwithstanding the skepticism of some
of the purchasers. "Would you have
me believe" said a young artist one day
as he inspected velveteen coat, " that
this belonged to Victor Hugo? Plainly,
it is too small for him. "Do you think, y
replied the unabashed dealer, that Vic
tor Hugo would have sold so good Il coat
if he could have worn it with any degree
of comfort2'' And the bargain wa.
struck.
