Christopher Price, q man aged City
five years, who has been married four
times, took unto himself a new wife
last night. The new wife is Miss Lii
lie vensble, and she is between thir-
teen and sixteen years Of age. The
difference between fifty-6ve and thir-
teen is only forty.two. Mr.. Price is
a retired farmer, and seems to be in.
fatuated with the marrying business.
The romance Of the matter is that il
was case of love at first sight. The
family to which the girl belonged only
moved into this neighborhood yester-
day. She saw the old man and he
saw her-they were both enraptured,
and, marching down to the Office Of
Squire Boone, "two souls with but a
single thocght," were soon joined in
the holy mats Of bondrimony. Hap
pier than a little boy with a ginger
cake and two sticks Of peppermint
candy, they took a bridal trip ON the
street car from Court street to Jersey,
where they entered the realities Of
married life,-[Paducah (Ky.) News.

Every editor loves TO have his friends
and particularly his reaiers to call on
him. They belong to the same fsmi-
ly. as il were. But when you call to
see the editor. don't stay too long. Ed
itors are usually very busy in business
hours. Ifyou have q suggestion to
make or news to communicate, state
ID in the fsvcst words possible.
Don't offer any excuses nor indulge
In a long preface to what you have to
say. Blurt Il right out; tell the edit
or you wish him well, and bid him
good day. Editors dote on such men
as that. They love to have calls from
them. Doa't argue with them. Don't
try to doit. He's got no time for ar.
gument while at his work.
When you write to an editor for
publication, make it short; boil IL
down. Pitch right into the middle of
your subject, and be sure to stop wri-
ting when you are through. Editors
always like something fresh and orig
inal in the way Of communication, and
they are especially fond Of news. But
the editor must always be the judge
of what Is worthy Of publication. OF
course every writer thinks his own
production the best, just as every
mother thinks her baby the prettiest
that was ever born. But the editor may
be so stupid as to have a different
opinion. Ifso, IL can't he helped.
Don't get huiy about il. Don't try
to argue him out Of his notion. II he
is too stupid TO appreciate a good
thing, you can't expect to remedy his
dnllpes. You may think you are
good deal smarter than the editor, and
that may be true; but the editor is re-
sponsible for the publication and you
are not. There is no class of men so
anxious to please majority of the
people as editors are. There is no
class so covetous Of the good opinion
of others. II is well to remember
that fsct.-[Indianapolis Sun.

Punctuality is the soul of business,

Punctuality is the soul of business,
and yet it is astonishing how many
people are unpunctusl. II is not on
ly q serious vice in itself. but the fruit
ful parent of many other vices, so
that he who becomes its victim is soon
involved in tolls from which ii is al
most impossible to escape. It makes
the merchant wasteful of time, saps
the prospects Of mechanics who might
otherwise rise to fortune; in a word,
there is not profession or station in
life which is not liable to the csnker Of
this destructive habit.

She lived on Broadway, and the
minister had called in on his round of
visits to his flock. They had talked
about the spiritual needs of the neigh
borhood, and she had told him how
much she had worried over the sinful
condition OF some OF her dear friends,
and how much she had groaned and
sorrowsd in spirit that her dear friend
and sister next door was not in the
church; aud the minister sympathized
with her, and prayed for them, and
then thought what dear Christian
sister this was; and she said she would

TO carry home to bis family. And
through the crack in the kitchen door

back and said she was $50 sorry" but
her dear husband had carried the mel
on to a poor family who had no luxu'

too much SO for his own good. And
the minister said il didn't matter. and
Il was just rs well; and went home
and wrote a sermon on the subject Of

A FASTING PIe.-Tenacity of life
in eels and cats is proverbial; but,
from an instance that occurred at
Flinstow Farm, near Pembroke, it
appears that the pig may claim to
rank with other creatures in this res
pect. For sixteen days a pig was
missed from the farmyard; and, as
every search failed to discover it, the
conclusion was arrived at that it had
been stolen. Some masons who were
repairing brick kiln on the farm one
day, discovered the missing animal,
which had fallen into the kiln, and
was unable to extricate itself. Though
all that time without food, the pig,
when rescued, was able to eat, and did
not seem much the worse for its long
Imprisonment.
