How They Euchred the 6 Old Man. ,,


We are told on the "best author.
ity" that a wealthy old gentleman,
residing in heightened portion of
this goodly city had beautiful, moth
erless daughter from whom he ex-
acted promise that she would new
er marry without his sanction. Her
first lover, though "poor but honest"
won her heart. The father rejected
him, and babe her choose another.
She said, mo, l shall yet marry him
under your own roof, but not with
out your consent" Time passed
along, and one evening, not long
since, her father, for her especial
amusement, gave a select masque-
rade ball, to which, of course, her
lover was invited. While the masks
were on and mirth running high,
there was shout for some one to
play preacher, as a youthful pair were
to have sham wedding. Some one
volunteered and the bride and groom
stepped forth, he hobbliug on crutches,
she gray-haired and decrepit. Their
appearance was greeted with roars of
laughter. The minister SAID: "Some
one must give the bride away; she
is too young to be responsible" She
chose a couple for guardians, appa-
rently because they stood nearest.
The ceremony was performed, and
the hand-shaking and congratulations
commenced, but the bride had faint
ell. Her husband snatched off her
mask and his own, and in the general
CONSERVATION everybody followed
suit. When 10 the married couple
were the "poor but honest" and his
chosen one; the minister .abonG tide
justice of the peace. The girl had
selected her father and aunt to give
away the bride, and thus with his
consent she was married at home to
the man of her choice. The old man
saw the joke, pronounced them too
old for him, gave his blessing and
received the husband into his family.

Afraid She'd be Kissed.

A man was once walking along one
road and woman along another.
The two roads finally united, and man
and woman, reaching the junction at
the same time, walking on from there
together The man was carrying a
large iron kettle on his back; in one
hand he, held by the legs live
chicken, in the other cane, and was
leading a goat. Just as they were
coming to dark, deep ravine the
woman said to the man:
81 am afraid to go through that
ravine with you; it is lonely place
and you might overpower me and
kiss me by force"
"If you were afraid of that" said
the man, "you shouldn't have walked
with ME at all. How can possibly
overpower you and kiss you by force
when have this great iron kettle on
my back, cane in one hand and a
live chicken in the other, and am
leading this goat ? / might as we'll be

eyes," replied the woman, 'but if
you should stick your cane into the
ground and tie the goat to it, and
turn the kettle bottom side up and
put the chicken into it, then you
might wickedly kiss me in spite OF
my resistance"
Success to thy ingenuity, o.! wo-
mani! !" said the rejoicing man to him
self. 81 should never have thought
OF such an expeditnt."
And when they came to the ravene
he stuck his cane into the ground and
tied the goat to it, and gave the
chicken to the woman, saying: "hold
1t while l cut some grass for the
goat" then lowering the kettle from
his shoulders imprisoned the chicken
under it, and wickedly kissed the
woman as she was afraid he would.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
A Plan to Establish Them all
Over the World.

At a recent New York State Sun
day-School Convention, held in this
city, Rev. Dr. Rufus w. Clark pre-
sented, in an address, which was
published in the Journal, June 7th, a
plan for securing funds to plant Sun
day Schools over the whole world.
In view of the marvellous growth of
this institution the past century,
having from Robert Raikes' small
beginning in 1880, reached mem
bership in these United States alone
of over seven millions and three hun
dred thousand, in view of what has
been accomplished with thorough or
ganization by the various Women's
Board of Foreign Missions in the last
10 years, their aggregate annual in
come being now nearly half a million
dollars, and in view OF what has been
done within 16 years by the Foreign
Sunday.School Association, planting
Sunday Schools in Germany, France,
Spain, Italy, Hungary, Russia, Mex:
leo, South America, Japan, and
China, DR.. Clark argued that the time
had come for the Sunday School to
make a grand advance movement,
and organize to raise funds to estab.
fish Sunday Schools over the world.
The Foreign Sunday-School Associa-
ton, in the prosecution of its Work,
has never expended more than four
thousand dollars a year, and they
could judiciously use any amount
placed in their hands. Through their
thirty secretaries, who meet weekly
and correspond in the German, Ital-
ian, French, Spanish and other Ian
guages with foreign nations, they are
- - iaEu withlthR vile and promising
It's THAI are Ul5Ol1 ~ 49,
With contribution of ONE CENT A
YEAR from each member of the Sun
day School in our land the Associa-
ton would have an annual income of
$4,000. With one cent week they
would receive $3,500,000 a year,
Since the delivery Of DR.. Clark's ad.
dress the Association have adopted
this plan, and have prepared bealiti-
full boxes with gilt lettering. to be
hung up in the Sunday-School room
to receive contributions. On the top
of the box are the words: "The field
Is the world" On one side the OBJ.
iects OF the Association are clearly
stated. On another side the appeal,
as follows: "Will each member Of
this Sunday School put one cent a
year into this box, for the Foreign
Sunday-School Association, to estab
fish Sunday Schools all over the
worlds" This plan certainly has our
cordial endorsement, aud we hope
there will be a box placed in every
Sunday School in the land, and that
even more than one cent year may
be contributed. 1t is stated on the
box that contributions should lie
sent to G B. Davenport, Treasurer, 487

can be obtained of them gratuitously.

GOLDMAN & co.
Our Second Biographica
 Sketch.

The success which has attended the business career of the firm of A Goldman Gs O., of our city, is an ex- republication of what can be accom- ii,;IliisiIet by close application to busi- ness combined with the constant and continual practice of considering each patron a friend and treating him accordingly. These
 RULES OF BUSINESS LIFE have been characteristic of not only the present firms method of doing business since it's organization two years ago, but were also the chief cause which contributed to the unusually successful career of it's establisher, 8Ir. A. Goldman, since he first en- gagged in business pursuits in our city five year ago. About that time Mir. Goldman opened a small store or Washington street, with 8 stock of general merchandise which would seem very insignificant if compared with the present stock and quarters of the firm of which he is the head. In this building he continued for four years (during the third year of which the present firm was organ ized with himself, MT Charles Gold man and MT. Charles Altsehul as the members.
 INCREASE OF BUSINESS,
 At the end of the first year of it's existence it was forced, on account of the growth of its business, was forced to move into it's present quar- ters, near the corner of Washington and Montezuma streets, in addition to establishing two branch houses one at Tempe, the other at Picket Post.
 THE EXTENSIVE BUSINESS done by them through these branch houses together with their main store in this city, can be judged from their receiving in the past year over two millions of pounds of wheat from farmers in payment of goods pur- chased by them.

sons INTERESTING LAW CASES Among
the cases decided at the recent term of the
Supreme Court for Franklin county were
the following wi ich will be found of general
interest:
Ii. E. Lewis VS.. Herbert Brainerd, was
an action brought by the plaintiff a.
stockhOld of the ST. AlbaEs Iron and
Steel Works to recover the penalty of so
for the refusal, and SO for each of Ia
days Of continued refusal, Of the defendant
as treasurer to permit tho plaintiff to ex-
anime the books. The defendant denurred
to the declaration on eight grounds but only
two of which were important; first, that 1t
did not alleys a request at the treasurer's
office, and second that it did not call for
such specific books as he was entitled
to see. The decision was expressed
BY Judge Dunton, who said that
the first two counts OF the decla-
ration were insufficient. for the reason con-
tanned in the first Ram objection, but the
third was sufficient. 10 the opinion of the
court the stakeholder might not be entitled
to sec the ordinary account books of the
treasurer, which contain only the business
between the company and its patrons, but
he IL entitled, in the opinion OF a majority
of the court, TO see the stock ledger, transfer
book and all other books and papers affect
ing the relations Of stockholders with the
company. But this must be AT the place
where the books are kept, and at a reason

close the object for which he seeks the in
spection. The objection that the court has |
not jurisdiction because the penalty for the |
first refusal is only so, is not well tiken, |
for. after having made the demand, the /
amount of the penalty is measured by the |
extent OF the neglect and refusal. Judg-
ment Tor defendant reversed and causc re-
manded.
