The Matrimonial Lottery.

A young stranger called on DR..
NC one evening, while he was a
pastor in New York city, to engage his
services in the performance of nup-
tial ceremony.
:" wish to make a bargain with you,
DOCTOR" said the young man II think
the girl l am to marry will make a
first-rate wife. If you will wait year
for your fee, and she turns out as
think she will, [ will then give you fifty
dollars"
They agreed, the young couple were
married, and the incident passed from
the doctors mind. At the end of a
year, at the same time in the evening,
the young man called again The doc
tor did not recognize him at first.
''Do you not remember the bargain we
made when you married me a year
ago?"
"Oh, yes replied the doctor.
"Well," said the young man, "she is
twice as good as [ thought she was.
There's one hundred dollars for you"
Exactly the opposite Of this is the
following:
A clergyman in one of the Hudson
River towns united German couple
in marriage. When the knot was tied,
the bridegroom said, "Dominie, I've
got no monish. but I'll send you one

cumstaDce was forgotten by the cler-
gyman. Two years afterward he
met the German in another town, for

mony was performed.

THE WEATHER FOR 1888.
Probability Of Droughts in Many Places
of the United States.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

Mr. G. c, Blake, of Decatur, H., who
made predictions of weather last year,
which he claims were almost literally
fulfilled, sends us a circular containing
predictions for 1889. AS the weather
is an important topic at all seasons, we
give place to Mr.. Blake's predictions,
which will be interesting to preserve
for reference during the season.
March, 1S7S-Will come in like a
sheep, and 60 ont like lamb. " The
first of March will be moderate, and
gradually grow warmer till the end of
the month; though there will doubtless
be two or three moderately cold spells
during the month, but none that might
be deemed cold. The equinoctial storm
will be a rather warm one. The precip-
itation for the month will be full aver
age, and in the form of rain except in
high ATTITUDES.
April, 1S7S-Rather drv and warm :;
though in places a full average of local
storms.
May, 1S7S-Warm; heavy showers in
places; on the general average not a
wet month.
June, 1S7S-Hot and dry, except as
relieved by a moderate number Of local
storms; cooler about the 10th.
July, 1S7S-Hot and dry; local storms
will give relief only in places.
August, 1S7S-Hot and dry; but some
severe local storms.
September, 1S7S-Hot and dry part
Of the month; severe local storms and
variable weather in places; rainfall for
the month rather less than the average,
except in southern States; some danger
of cyclones in the southern States, also
in Indian ocean.
October, 1S70-Cool; rainfall less
than average; a heavy frost the last of
September or first of October.
November, 1S7S-Quite cold and
dry; probably more snow than rain.
December, 1S7S-Cold and dry: mod
crate amount Of snow: little, if any,
rain north of Galesburg, III.
January, 1S79-First part Of month
rather mild last part moderately cold;
precipitation for the month, in rain or
snow, about an average for January.
February, 1S79-Moderately cold and
dry.
March, 1879-Full average of storms
and precipitation, though not a severe
month; the equinoctial about the 22d Of
March, 1879, will be quite severe,
though rather warm.
conclude the year 1873 will be a
very suspicious one, so far as weather
is concerned. The season generally
will be rather dry and warm. There will
be a few heavy storms and tornadoes,
and very few general storms that will
extend over any considerable portion
of the United States. There will be
reasonable number of heavy showers,
but they will be local, and, in places,
accompanied by heavy thunder and
lightning; though on the general average
thunder and lightning will be scarce.
The general amount Of rainfall for the
year from April /, 1878, to April 1,
1879, will be about 80 per cent below
the average for the whole UnitedStates;
while for a considerable part Of the
year it Will be SO per cent. below the
average, and in places as high as 20
per cent. below the average.
