.Ihe guests at recent expected mar
rage IN certain church on the West
Side were treated to a singular and
rather startling sensation at the very
moment when the counubiai knot was
to be tied. The bride and groom were
young couple, and he'd made all. the
necessary preparations for the happy
event that was to unite them as one,
and y was thought by the respective
! friends OF the pair that the course OF
true love had ran quite smoothly with
them, and genuine mutual affection
existed between them. The invited
company had entered the house OF wor
ship, and the attendants on the couple
had taken their places around the altar.
while the minister remained in waiting
to perform the ceremony The bride,

the carriage, aud the groom stepped
blthely and lightly after her and upon
her long trail. As he did 50 the fair
lady uttered low cry, and exclaimed,
sharply: "Oh, dear; how awkward
you are 7" The young mans face color
ed as he stumbled off the rich garment,
and be gave his arm to the lady while
iaboring under a confused mind. The
pair walked into the church and down
the aisle 10 the altar. All eyes rested
upon their movements, aud a murmur
OF voices arose as they came in and took
their position before the minister. The
ceremony proceeded the minister asked
the bride if she would accept the groom
for her welded husband and received
the usual affirmative answer. and was
about to interrogate the young nan
when the latter impulsively and uu-
expectedly said to the bride: Oh,
dear how awkward you are r. and quick.
ly turning on his heel, walked out of
the ediiice without another word of ex.
pianation, leaving the astonished bride
at the altar in mute Dewilder

blank amazement. The young man vent
his way IN Il carriage, and the disap.

to comfort her left the church for their
homes. The occurrence was an actnal
one, and has created no small amount of
gossip in the vicinity where the church

The following paragraph cut from the
Springfield Republican, is worthy o.
preservation. The Republican speak,
with so much confidence of this remcd,
for that terrible disease, diphthcria
that we hope it will be tried by some
one in this vicinity, in case some person
is unfortunate enough to require treat
ment, and the result made public. Il
there is anything Of value in the follow
ing, the knowledge Of it ought to be
widely extended: ........

Village Society IN Uinfer.

First As to sewing clubs the work
should be carefully restricted 10 such
embroidery, etc., as cannot be done by
women who earn their living by their
needle. The justice ought to be at once
apparent; but it is, as a rule, overlook
ed. We have known the plain sewing
taken from the sempstresses ola village,
and given to church clubs, for winter !;
the consequence of which was, hungry
women asking parish help, and stain
ed glass window back of the pulpit.
Secondly: In reading clubs, let the
time for each render be limited by in.
flexible rule. If this is not done, there
will be found in every such club, at
least one dogmatic, selfish reader who
will force his author aud his voice upon
the club, until in disgust and WEAKNESS
the members fall off and the eXperi
ment fails
Thirdly: If we may trench upon a
most delicate topic, we would suggest
that in merely social combinations, for
the purpose of music, dancing or COP.

he disregarded. There is no despotism
more narrow or cruel than the arist9c.
racy of village. New blood and new
ideas would generally revivify it out
side of the so.called good society Of
such place which has been fenced in
for two or three generations, is frequent
y found the larger proportion of intel.
igence, culture, and breadth of thought
Fourthly The great want expert
enced by cultured men and women in
small town is of books, periodicals, etc.,
which, individually, they are not able
to buy. There are very few circulating
libraries in American towns of a p0pu
lation less than ten thousand This want
can be obviated in a measure, by
friendly combination between certain
families or individuals, in which each
contributes q given number of books to
a common stock these books are loaned
to the members in turn.
A more formal and much better way
is the formation of book. club, such as
were common in England before the
establishment of Nude, in which each
member pays at the beginning a certain
sum, with which as many books are pur-
chased as there are members, each one
choosing book; these pass in regular
rotation from hand to hand, remaining
fortnight with each reader; twenty books
NAV TINS be read for the cost OF one.
When the books have passed around the
circle, they are sold to the members Tor
the benefit of the club Fines for de-
tenton and abuse of books also keep up
the funds No officer is required in this
association but a treasurer. Another
advantage in the plan is that books can
be bought by the quantity at lower
rate than singly. The same rules ap.
plies to subscriptions for magazines
newspapers, etc.-Scribner for Decem-
Der.

Mr.. Conger, the witty Congressman
from Michigan, has love history which
is quite remarkable. His present wife
was his first love, but they quarreled
and each married. Twenty years after
ward, he, wldower, was in Congress,
and she, widow, sat in the gallery and
listened to him speaking 1t was the
first time they bad met since they had
their lovers quarrel. She sent her card
and invited him to call on her, which
he promised to do if he might visit her
in the days of their youth. Her con-
sent was easily obtained, the old love
revived, aud they were soon married.

The conviction and sentence Of Col.

crime of forgery was provocative Of the
production Of his record az a good man.
The worst feature in such cases li,s in
the fact that courts and juries are asked
to attach more value TO such records
than prisoners have given them in their
time of innocence. The Colonel had
