l SILVER WEDDING The Erie Dispatch
| notices the event at North Springfield, Pa.
on the evening of Monday The 22nd. ult.
I Of the silver wedding of MIR. and Mrs.
| Lyman Donald, formerly of AshtabUla.
The surprise was complete one, as ma
! jority of the neighbors, and friends, who
gathered did not suspect the object, until
1t was disclosed at the house. After the
usual greetings and salutationS, at the ap-
pointed time the parties took their places
under scripture motto wrought in ever
greens upon the wall, The beauty of the
Lord our God be upon us-1S54-1S79,"
and the writer hereof was called upon for
an address and briefly responded as fol-
lows: 'tJuSt % years ago, at nearly this
very hour and IN this very place, 1t became
my duty,a il was my privilege, to JOIN IN
holy wedlock the parties now before us,Our
worthy host and hostess on this occasion.
1t chanced at that time that the double
duty of pedagOgne of the village school
and magistrate for the eastern part of the
town devOled upon me, aud she who was
to be the bride on that occasion was an eS-
teemed member Of my class. In the alb
sence Of our pastor, partly from necessity
and partly from choice. it became my du-
ty to act as celebTant of the ceremony.
There were present 20 persons, of whom
six have since deceased, including the
mother, sister, and brother. of The bride.
The remaining numbers were increased to
fifty. As their contribution to this increase
our worthy hosts have been blessed with
three sons and a daughter. The sons are
now Just verging into manhood, and prom
ise to sustain not only the ancestral name,
but the ancestal virtues as we'll. Two Of
them have gone to a distant state where
they are hewing out name and fortune
for themselves. Let me congratulate you,
my friends, on your good fortune during
the first % years of your welded life.
May you be spared to each other and 10 US
TO celebrate your golden and s5mi-eenten-
nial anniversary of this event." After
grace by Rev.E. B. Chamberlain and
brief congratulatory address, a sumptuous
repast was served and we separated feeling
that the occasion had been one Of pleasure
and profit to all.

At the Dar.

"Who speaks for this man, From til,
great white Throne.
Yelled in its roseatc clouds, the voice
came forth;
Before it stood a parted soul alone,
And rolling east and west, and south
and north,
The mighty accents summoned quick and
dead:
"Who speaks for this man, ere his doom
be said?''
Shivering he listened, for his earthly life
Had passed in dull, unnoted calm away
He brought no glory to its daily strife,
No wreath Of fame, or genius fiery ray
Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure.
Born iE the shadow, dying mid the poor.
Lo, from the solemn concourse hushed and
dim,
The widows prayer, the orphans bless
ing rose;
The struggler told of trouble shared by
him,
The lonely of cheered hours and soften
ed woes;
And like chorus spoke the crushed and
sad,
'sHe gave lis all he could, and what he
had;"
And little words of loving kindness said,
And tender thoughts, and help in time
ofneed,
Sprang up, like leaves by soft spring show
ers ted,
In some waste corner, sown by chance
flung seed;
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul,
Such trifies gathered to SO blest whole.
o We, by circumstance strong fetters
bound,
The store so little, and the hand SO trail,
Do but the best We can for all around;
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail;
among your neighbors poor and
weak
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.
All the Pear Round.

A Female Duel.

A good deal has lately been heard of the
progress of female emancipation in Russia,
but is somewhat OF a novelty to find the
Russian ladies figuring in the character of
duelists, as was the case not long since
with two bellies of Petigorsk, a well known
fashionable resort on the northern slope Of
the Caucasus. A dispute arose between
the two rival beauties, springing out OF the
attentions paid to each in turn by hand
some young cavalry officer quartered in
the neighborilood. The quarrel ran so
high that one of the AmaZons at length
dispatched her maid to the other with y
formal challenge, which was instantly ac-
cepted. The belligerents met without Sec
Onds in lonely place outside the town,
each armed with brace Of loaded pistols.
Before, however, they had even taken up
their respective positions, the trembling Of
the one lady's hand caused her pistol to
explode prematurely, sending bullet
through the dress of the other, who Shrek
ed and fell down in swoon. The assail-
ant, frightened out of her wits, flung away
her weapon and rushed to raise up the sup
posed corpse; but her ungrateful antagon-
ist, recovering her senses as suddenfyas
she had lost them, clutched her by the hair
with one hand, while boxing her ears with
the otherin the most energetic style. The
firing having now ceased, tho battle pro-
ceeded hand to hand. Locks of hair, rib
bons and shreds of clothing flew in every
direction, and, bat for the timely advent of
three or four policemen, the afiray might
have ended Hike the omewhat-similar CON-
bat Of the Kilkenny cats. The military
LothariO's only remark on hearing tho
story was, ats lucky they took to claw
ing each other instead OF me-

The Baby For Me.

| have heard about babies angelic,
With a heavenly look in their eyes,
And hair like the sunbcams of morning,
When first they appear in the skies,
And smiles like the smiles of cher,,b.
And mouth like the buds of rose.
And themselves like the lilies and daisies
And every sweet flower that grows,
My baby's the jolliest baby
That any one ever did see;
There's nothing angelic about him.
But he's just the right baby for me.
Ills smiles are not at all like c!erub's,
But rather comical grin;
And his hair-wel. it tavors the sunbeams
"hen sunbeams are wondrously thin.
His eyes, tho they're blue like tho heavens,
Arc remarkably earthly with fun;
And his mouths rather large for rosebud,
Unless 'twerc halt opened one.
Ills hands don't resemble Il Eliry's
In the least. They're strong little pair.
AS you'd think. am sure. if he'd got you,
AS oft he's got me-by the hair.
And he isn't bit like lily.
= QranY- sweet blossom tbat orn,re -,
Has dear little cunning pug nose.
He's himself-filll OF mischief the darling,
And as naughty as naughty can be;
And FGn glad that he isn't angelic,
For he's lust the right baby for me.

Territorial Enterprise.

Colonel Tom Bufortl, who killed Judge
Elliott in Kentucky because he decided a
case against Buford's sister, is an emotion
al cuss. Of the killing he says: "Oh, it
was tate, and couldn't have been any other
way. My sister had been wronged, cruelty
wronged, and had to avenge her. Why,
the last time visited her grave l could
hardly get away; felt so badly about the
wrongs that had been done her. loved
my sister, and promised her on her death
bed to meet her In heaven, and can't for
get it. Iexpect to meet her in heaven. 1
havU only done what fate ordered. It is a
sad thing, but couldn't help it and didn't
want to help it. I can't tell what will be
the result, but am willing to await the ver-
dict Of higher power than any of this
world" 1t beats all how soon after man
commits q murder he begins to talk about
meeting his friends in heaven. Anderson
ard Dye went right up to glory, and 1t is
Il nerally so. Heaven will be tough place

To Young Hen.

Idleness is the great destroyer of young
| men. 1t is sure to work out the ruin OF
the most talented or well inclined. Give q
young man plenty to do and lie is safe, and
will reflect honor both on himself and the
community in which ,he lives. Allow him
to spend his hours in idleness; to LOAF
around bar-rooms; stand on the street
corners or stay about home, with no high
er ambition than just to eat, drink, sleep,
and smoke, and you lay for him the broad
foundation of future disgrace. Parents,
you may depend upon it, that your grown
up boys find little that adds to their man.
hood in the walks of idlencss. Better to
give them some honorable tradc than to
trust to chace for some windtall of luck or
fortune to benefit them in after-life.
If young mcn are out of employment
let this great truth be impressed upon their
minds, that time, even though it brings no
money, is valuable. Self Improvement
should be kept up, so that every spare
hour may bring to its possessors some
valuable acquisition. Enrich your minds
by the careful study Of some good work,
for you may rest assured your labor is
none the less for being intelligent. Better
to spend your time over some good and
valuable book that shall impart some use
full knowledge, than to waste it along with
your money, as we'll as your health, over
cigars, the brandy bottle, or games of
chance. Better be found studying at home,
thereby improving and dlsciplining your
mind, than to be seen on the street cor
ners with hands in pockets, cigar be-
tween your lips-the very picture of lazi-
ness. Not tnal we can all become great
men, but we can be useful citizens.
Nothing can be accomplished without
great labor. Excellence in every trade or
profession depends upon it, and if you
will it and persevere for it. 1t is not the
idlers that make their mark in the world,
but the earnest, go-ahead men who never
stop for little troubles or give up for great
ones, but who go forward, determined to
be, and do, something in this world.
Young man, turn over new leaf-place
before you the object of your desires and
work for it. Be careful Of your'-pennics,
for as DIR. Franklin used to say, pin a
day is groat year. not by being stingy
or mean, but by being prudent, and few
years will find you tar advanced in honor
and on the highway to competency and

Questions at the Post Office.

A little freckle-faced ten year old school
girl stopped at the post Office, the othe
day, and yelled out:
"Anything for the Murphysw
"No, there is not"
"Anything for Jane Murphy?'
'Nothing."
"Anything for Ann Murphyr'
"No."
"Anything for Tom Murphyr'

Anything for Terry Murphy"
'sNo; nor for Pat Murphy, nor Denni.
Murphy, nor Pete Murphy, nor Paul Muir
ply, nor any Murphy, dead, living, un'
born, native or foreign, civilized or unciv.

black or white, fiancfIised or disfranchised,
naturalized or otherwise. No, sir, there is
positively nothing for sny of the Murphys,
either individually, jointly or severally,
now and forever, one and inseparable." :"
The girl looked at the postmaster In as
tonishment, and said:
s.Please to looksN there is anything for
Clarence Murphy"

aa but True.

Ifa man is On the cars. and sees young
lady he doesn't know from Eve and never
saw before, trying to let down the win
dow, he lays down his paper, takes off his
hat, bows almost double, smiles clear
round to his after collar b, ton, sweetly
says, ''allow me!' and closes the window
with graceful skill and charming courtesy.
If his sister says, ''Tom, Won't you please
let this window down for lno?'' he tucks
his paper savagely under his arm, and
stalking across the aisle, stands on her feet
while he bangs the window down with a
slam that fills her face and hair with dust.
And if his wife, holding the baby on one
arm and a lunch basket on the other, tries
to let down the window. and says, timiG:y
and suggestiyely, 'Oh, dear, | don't believe
can get it down." he grl,nts ''eh? OH"
and buries himself still deeper in his paper.
That's what you're coming to, girls.
