The McCulloch Funding Association and

Of necessity advance in price. 1t is true
that the demand for consols will be twice
as great as the demand for peelers, but it is
equally true that the supply of consols is
just twice as large as that Of the peeers, So
they will advance pars passu.

A Queer Kind ola Wedding Trip and
What Resulted from II,

On Tuesday last wedding party in high
life came off at Carpenters, in this county,
Why it may be termed wedding in high
life is because it occurred on top of the high
mountain directly opposite the station. After
the wedding cerem ony was performed, the
newly-married couple made somewhat
novel start in life. From the top of the steep
moun&in they concluded to 60 to the station
on hand Sled The time for starting came,
and their friends, after he ping to fix them
and their baggage solidly on their sled, gave
their sled push, and away they went. shoot
ing over the ground at the rate Of forty miles
an hour. Half way down they turned a
sharp curve, when to their horror they dis
covered a span of mules not far distant COM
ing up the mountain. They saw at glance
that there was not room enough to pass
those mules, and that the mules would not
have time enough to get out Of the way.
And what made matters worse, there was
a high embankment to the road. However,
they did not hesitate as to what was to be
done, for stop they couldn't, and to strike
in among the legs of those mules they we'll
knew would be to get kicked out of this
world at once. John, the husband, Of, course
was the pilot of the sled, and bracing him.
self to meet the rapidly approaching trouble,
he exclaimed:
snow, Maria, as you swore this morning
to cling to me until death, would advise
you to give extra fastenings to your arms
around my waist, for over the bank we must
go.''
''Let her slide, John; Pm praying for both
of u.s." responded the faithful wife.
And John did let her slide, by bravely
turning the sled on one side and letting it
shoot over the embankment, down distance
of twenty feet into the snow below, carry
ing with it bride, groom, and carpet-bags
in one promiscuous heap. Fortunately. the
snow was deep enough to break the force Of
the fall. and nothing serious, save the smash.
ing of Johns new hat. followed. Even this
would not have happened if Maria had not
fastened her teeth on the rim of it just as
they were about making the plunge over the
embankment. Suffice it to say that the wed.
ding party gathered themselves together
again in little while and resuming their
bridal trip, John occasionally pulling off his
tile to see ifany improvement could be made
being, III you had allowed that hat to fly,
my darling, it would have taken care of it.

'.Oh, sir, it is so small,
A little faded, dusty chain
OF daisies wet with summer rain;
Where have I let them fall ~

"Indeed, do not know,
For all the garlands OF my spring
Are faded. and the whitening

I But here, perchauce, thou may'st nave seen
Their petals blown aside,
And marked with tears, how wet they were
Since by my dead loves sepulchre
They slowly dropped and died."
Thus spoke the woman who had missed
Some Joy of life and still
I saw the old man on his scythe
Lean like warrior, tall and 1.-THE,

Behold! the daisy chain,
The rosebud, and the garland white,
And what he holdeth tight,

WHITEwAsH FOR OUTSIDE WoRK.-U
Whitewash, it is well KNOWN passes to a
carbonate OF lime in a few days by absorb
ing car bonate acid from the air, and being
soluble to certain extent in water, is soon
washed off when exposed to the rains. 10
prevent this wash prepared as follows lasts
much longer; To half bushel OF good
lime add enough water to sake and be about
the consistency Of good syrup, and while
hot add half gallon of linseed oil and stir
we'll, 10 this mixture add half pound OF
common glue, dissolved in gallon OF boil
ing water. After letting it stand few
hours, thin with water to the proper consis-
tence for applying and it is ready for use.
Some parties recommend the addition OF
salt and others sulphate of zinc, but can
not see any plausible theory to satisfy me
that there is advantage in their use. With
the lnseed oil an insoluble soap is formed
(oleate of lime) and the glue forms an insol-
uble cement which protects the lime from
the dissolving influence Of the water. 1t is
possible that allow will answer the Same
purpose, as the resulting compound would
BIZ the same-oleate of lime-the glycerine
OF the fat being set free. ~ 70 every four
quarts of slakened lime allow one. half pint
of boiled glue, lump of alum about twice
the size of hickory nut, and one table,
spoonful of salt, with just sufficient blung
to give a white tint. (3) Slack lime in the
usual way ; mix handful of flour with cold
water, taking care not to have any Jumps
then pour on boiling water, until it becomes
like common starch; pour it, while hot, into
the slaked lime add one pound OF whiting
and two ounces of powdered borax stir al
well together In a bucket. [Q Whtewast
for outside exposure is made by shaking
one-half bushe of lime in barrel, adding
one pound Of common salt, one half-pound
Of the sulphate Of zinc and gallon Of sweet
