The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1877-09-29

A YOUNG clergyman, at the first wed
ding he ever had, thought it was very
good time to impress upon the couple
before him the solemnity of the act
" hope, Dennis" he said to the coach
man, with his license in his hand, "you
have well considered this solemn step in
life" ~ hope SO, your reverence"
answered Dennis. It's very import
ant step you're taking, Mary" said the
minister. " Yes, sir; / know it is, re-
piled Mary, whimpering. Perhaps we
had better wait while" 9Perhaps we
had, your riverence," chimed in Dennis.
The minister, hardly expecting such .
personal application of his exhortation,
and seeing the fees vanishing before his
eyes, betook himself to more cheerful
aspect of the situation, and said: Yes,
of course it's solemn and important, you
know; but it's very happy time, after
all, when people love each other. Shall
we 90 on with the service r Yes,
your riverence," they both replied.
And they were soon made one in the
bonds Of matrimony; and that young
minister is now very careful how he
brings on the solemn view Of marriage
to timid couples.

GIRLS In THE ORIENT.

In all Oriental countries female chill
dren are born 70 no rights that anybody
is bound either by law or custom tC
respect. Especially have they no right
10 live il either Of the parents choose tC
have it otherwise. Infanticide Is the
damning sin of heathenism, and es.
pecially SO in the East. But although
the birth of female child is always
reckOned among the greatest calamities
that can betall the family, and although
very many Of them are killed at their
birth, yet for variety OF reasons they
are often spared to grow up.
They may be protected and reared in
the hope that they will become useful to
their paren;s, as servants and laborers !;
or they may be available for betrothal;
or if she is the first girl born into the
family she may be tolerated.; or if the
father is absent at the time of the birth.
the mothers instincts may prevail Oh
her to spare her child, and after few
weeks or months ola it would be ac-
counted cruel to kill her. Some, too,
are spared that they may grow up, and
then delivered over to be devoted to a
lie Of shame. Fathers are usually the
eXecutiOnerS 0. the foul deeds OF inianti-
eide, though, from the manner in which
they speak of the practice, it would
seem that the mothers readily agree TO
the damnable deed.
In CHINA, the proportion OF female in
lants destroyed, as compared with the
whole number born, does not appear 10
be very large: but in India, where the
custom is the "ancient and systematic'
one, it is much greater. Until 1902,
there was no law against it in British
India, and till then the death rate is es.
timated to have risen to the fearful mag.
nitude OF seventy per cent. of the births.
1t is now strictly prohibited by law, and
the practice has been largely abateu,
though there is reason to believe that it
is slill practised to lamentable extent
some estimates make tue proportion oil
inlanticides equal TO one-third OF the
births OF female children. 1t is even
now not an unusual thing, along the
banks OF the Qangee, or in The suburbs
OF the cities and towns. to come upon
the body OF child that has been mur-
dervd, and turUwn away to decay or be
devoured. - National Repository fol-

AN EXTINCT RACE.

One Of the most remarkable races that
ever inhabited the earth is now extinct.
They were known as the Gu4nches, and
were the aborigines of the Canary
Islands. In the sixteenth century,
pestilence, slavery and the cruelty OF
the 5panlards succeeded in totally ex-
terminating them. They are described
as being gigantic in stature, but Of a
singularly mid and gentle nature.
Their food consisted OF barley, wheat,
goaps milk, aud their agriculture was OF
therudest kind. They had a religion
which taught them Of a future state, OF
rewards and punishments after death,
and Of good and evil spirits. They re-
garded the volcano OF Tenerlffe as the
place OF punishment for the bad. The
bodies OF the dead were carefully em-
balmed, and deposited in oatacom bs,
which still continue to be an object of
curiosity to those who visit the Islands.
Their marriage rites were very solemn,
aud before engaging in them the brides
were tattened on milk. At the present
day these strange people are totally ex-
tinot,-- Boston Globe.

Ut WASN'T TIE TOOTHACHn

In the ladies' waiting-room at thr, On
tral Depot the other day were raWIy
married couple from Grass Lake. They
had been visiting in The city two or three
days, and were then ready to go home.
They sat side by side, OF course, his arm
around her waist and she leaning On his
shoulder. A lOng-waisted stranger from
the East, having sore eyes and big
heart, walked in, saw them thus seated,
ana in about minute he asked of the
husband:
"Has that woman there got the tooth.
aCheH
The husband looked up in surprise,
but made no answer. Alter two or three
minutes the long-waisted man again re-
marked:
TT that woman has got the toothache
PYe got a bottle OF peppermint in my
satchel here"
The bride rolled her big white eyes
around, and the husband looked some
what embarrassed. The man from down
East unlocked his satehel, fumbled
among shirts and collars, and brought
up four ounces OF peppermint essence.
lie uncorked 1t, touched the contents OF
the bottle against his big red tongue,
and, handing it forward towards the
husband, teelingly said:
just nave her sop some on a rag and
rub her gooms with it. We've used it IN
our family lor-"
The BRIDES eyes threw out sparks as
sue llGed her head from its loving posi-
ton, aud striking at the bottle she
sEarled out:
"Tu hache, you fule! II you don't
know the difference tween true love and
tne lutnache you'd better pick grass
with the geeseW
"My lord!' gasped the man, and he
hurried cut with his satchel in one hand
and the bottle in the other Detroit

years old. lie was born in Barbados

was afterwards called to the bar at Lin
coins Inn. He is reported, however,
never to have practised; he mas given
himself up to letters, especially to Orl-
entail literature, in wnicn he has become
an authority. He has been professor OF
Arabic at Oxford, and it was in conse-
quence Of his researches in this depart
ment OF literature that he received hon
ors from two different quarters: from
the late Sultan, who in 1869 nominated
him member OF the Order OF MedjIdie,
and from the Church, i'll whose behalf he
was made member OF the Old Testa-
ment Company OF the Bible Revisers.
