Marriage is to woman at once the
manifest and saddest event OF her life;
IL is the promise of future bliss raised
on the death of all present enjoyment
She quits her home, her companions
her occupation, her amusements--
everything on which she has hitherto
depended for comfort, for affection, for
kindness, for pleasure. The parents,
by whose advice she has been guided;
the sister to whom she has dared i'm
part every embryo thought and feeling
the brother who has played with her,
by turn the counselor and counseled'
and the younger children, to whom she
has hitherto been the mother and play
mate-all are to be forsaken at one fell
stroke. Every former tie is loosened,
the spring of every hope and action is
to be changed, and yet she fees with
10Y into the untrodden path before her.
She bids fond and grateful adleu to
the life that is past, and turns with ex-
cited hopes and joyous anticipations to
happiness to come. Then woe to the
man that can blight such fair hopes,
who can, coward-like, break the illusion
that has won her, and destroy the con-
fdence which love has inspired.

The Abducted widow.

ATLANTA, GA, August 81, 1877

ATLANTA, GA, August 81, 1873
The search for Mrs. Pulliam, the
buxom widow who was abducted from
her bed. near Alberton, by unknown
parties, still continues without success.
The little daughter, who was in the bed
from which her mother was taken,
could see nothing, as no light was al
lowed, but says her mother told her she
would come back. Mrs, Pulliam had
many suitors, but none of them are
missing. The theory of elopement can
only BIO entertained on the superstition
that she went off with a married man,
as there would have been no necessity
for such action in the case Of a single
sutton. The suicide theory is not ac-
ceptsd, as the widow was unusually
liqht hearted and well-tO-do, and so the
mystery remains impenetrable'

How to Put Your Name on Fruit
St. Nicholas for September


Did you ever see name printed
on growing apple, pear or peach?
No? Well, while the fruit yet hangs
green upon the tree make up your
mind as to which is the very larg-
est and the most promising speci-
mems of all. Next cut out from thin
tough paper the initials of the name OF
your little brother OF sister or chief
crony, with round specks for the dots
after the letters, and the letters them
selves plain and thick. Then paste the
letters and date on that side of the ap-
pie which is most turned to the sun,
taking care not to loosen the fruits
hold upon its stem. AS soon as the
apple is ripe, take off the paper cut
tings, which, having shut out the red
dening rays of the sun, have kept the
fruit green just beneath them, so that
the name or initials now show plainly.
After that, bring the owner of the ini-
tials to play near the tree, and say
presently: "Why, what are those
queer marks on that apple up there?"
You will find this quite q pleasant way
to surprise the very little ones, and OF
course, you can print short pet name
as easily as initials.
