Nutritiye Crumbs.

Good health is the first condition Of

er vegetable, animal, or human, results
from nutrition. No artificial chemis-
try equals the motion of the human
stomach, and its appendages, in the
mastication, digestion and the assimiIa-
ton OF food. An ounce of food thor
oughly digested, is better than pound
retained, TO sour in the human work
shop, where the .Orkmen are unable
to digest it. The stomach is never TO
be overloaded, of which sour eructa-
tions are always All unmistakable sign.
1t is 4 great mistake, to suppose, that
our food passes mole easily through its
appropriate channels, by having it lu-
bricated with hog oil. The degrees in
which all things human, are proper

A Novel Wedding.

Three years ago, Wheeler Ellis,
young, poor, Woodworking mechanic,
left Washington for the far West to seek
his fortune, leaving behind lovely
and lonely maiden to await his coming
at some future time, when his finances
would admit of marriage. This time
had come but on account of business
engagements the young man found
that he could not make the trip East.
A friend arriving there from the West
was commissioned 10 take the young
woman to Georgetown where the cere-
mony would be performed. This ar
rangement, though entirely in accord
ance with the young lady's wishes, did
not suit her mother, who so strenuous
ly objected TO this way of the thing be-
ing done that some other plan must be
adopted or the affair postponed. The
girl had waited long already, and moth
ing but distance seemed to stand in the
way. At the suggestion of the Rev.
George Carpenter, the telegraph was
called into service. This Gained the
old lady's objections, and the preacher
performed the ceremony. No cards.
The only spectators were friend or
two. From the time of the first mes
sage till the young man answered the
solemn 81 do" was something over four
hours. The bride started for a home
and husband in the far West, with the
best wishes of many friends. The par
ties are well known, and the affair
caused quite ripple of excitement
when it became known. 1t is un-
equalled in strangeness in the annals
of marriages.
