An acquaintance whispered to tho
bridegroom that be- ought to fortify
himself for the solemn ceremony.
The bride pleaded, the bridesmaid
frowned, tie ''best man" swore, but
the bridegroom crossed the street
AID drank two glasses Of whiskeyin
a public house. The bride, finding
that he had tarried, sought him out.
and summoned him to the altar, He
would not bulge, She appealed TO
her friends to drag him into tho
church. They seized him and car
ried him into the cturchyard, where
he broke loose from them, and ran
down the street with a crowd at bis

into shreds, rolled him in the duet.

Assorted Kisses.

clared that there were few sciences"
so difficult of acquisition. "People"
said be, twill kiss; yet not one 10 a
hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips any more than he
knows to make diamonds from char
COAL" He used to relate his expe-
rience of good nights kiss, i'm
printed on the lips of his inamorata
after having escorted her to and from
a New England forfeit party, where
the poor girl, being the belle Of the
evening had been kissed and, as he
expressed himself, "slebbered over
by all and sundry." He declared
that in that one chaste salute he
could discriminate "nine distinct and
separate flavors" namely, "onions,
tobacco, peppermint, gin, lager beer,
brandy, checkerberry, musk and
camphor.-[F. H. Brown, in Apple

curtains of the tent. Your practiced
Mahometan comes here to indulge
his eyes with vision ofAhe joys to
come; for are they not promised him
who is faithful a river and the flower
of womanhood, together with meat
and drink? Alas! we of the Western
world must content ourselves with
glimpse of these things, such as the
lost Peri had at the gates Of Eden!
