At length the palace gates were

was brave pageant; far brighter
than the untwined foliage and bios.
SONS were the tufts of pIumes which
fioated from stately heads, and the
festal robes that streaned down the
housing Of superb steeds.. But the
princess, mounted on Il sn0w-wnite
palfry, and clad in snow-white vel
vet, looked pale and sad and when,
on nearing the church, she heard a
gush of organ music, which, though
jubilant in sound, struck on her ear
like funeral knell, she trembled,
and would have fallen to the earth

few moments after she entered the
cathedral. There, with his retinue,
stood the bridegroom, whom she
had never before seen. But her
glance rOved from him to the organ
loft, where she had expected to see
the mysterious organist. He was
gone, and she was obliged to return
the graceful bow of the king, to
whom she had been betrothed from
motives of policy. Mechanically
she knelt at his side on the altar
stone; mechanically listened to the
services and made the responses.
Then her husband drew her to him
in convulsive embrace, and whis-
pered:
Elizabeth, my queen, my wife,
look up!"
Trembling in every limb, she
Why did those dark eyes
thrill her so? Why did that smile
bring glow on her cheek Ahl

happy by a royal marriage.

IT is not only contrary to etiquette
but in very bad taste to invite q
public singer to your house and ask
her to sing while there. If you
want to give a private concert en-
gage her and pay her, but if your
purpose is social recognition, give
it her without charging song for
it. There is no improperly in the
singer volunteering song under
those circumstances, should she feel
inclined, but it ought not to be ex-
pected of her.
The following anecdote is an illus
tration of our position
A New York letter tells the fol-
lowing story of Marimon "She
only accepted two or three invita-
tions while she was here, and one
was at the house of a wealthy wild
ow who affects music. After the
elegant dinner was over and the
party had returned TO the parlor,
the hostess asked the prima donna
to sing, in manner that admitted
of no refusal. Indignant, but while
hesitating what to say (for she
speaks only few words of English)
the sounds of hand-organ were
distinctly heard from the street.
With a dramatic gesture of her
hand toward the window, Marimon
said: Madame will find out Of door
one who will make music after she
will give him a dinner

Feverish Love.
Memphis Appeal.

The accIimated young man who
has to work for his living cannot
afford to marry an unacclinated
girl, one who has not had the fever.
Even the richest merchants and
largest property-Owners complain 0l
the expense Of running away and
summering up north for four
months in the year. The acclimat-
ed girl is a treasure in Memphis.
She may not have yellow hair, but
if she has had the yellow fever, she
is worth mint Of money as a house
hold gift. The unacclimated young
man who has to work for living
cannot afford to marry at all, be
cause he cannot afford to pick him
self and wife up every summer and
skedaddle toward the polar star.
Among the courting questions now
to be propounded prior TO asking a
girl to marry you are the important
ones: "Miss, have you ever had the
yellow fever?p ''Was II typical
case?' "Are you certain your ply
sician was correct in his diagnosis OF
your case?'' If the answers are not
quite satisfactory other questions
might be put that would develop
the desired facts.

waspin an Old mans supper,


There are times in the life of the
small boy when he feels very sad
from the use of slipper or switch
upon him. IF any thing happens to
the person who has thus afflicted
him, his joy is great, as will be seen
from the following incident A
gentleman returned home from his
daily toll and pulled off his boots
and was going to put on his slippers,
when howl 0fintense agony resOun-
ded through the hall. The alright
ed family rushed to the door, and
beheld their papa heaving the shad-
ows with wild gestures and frantic
gyrations. sTake it off ~ he shout
ed i and made a grab at his foot but
missing it, went on with his war
dance. "Water" he shrieked, and
started up stairs, three at step, and
turning, came back in a single
strike. sch, Pm stabbed ~ and
he sank to the floor and held his
right leg high above his head then
he rose to his feet with a bound, and,
screaming for the bOot-jack, held
his foot out toward his terrified
family. "Oh, bring the arnica," he
yelled, and with one desparing effort
he reached his slipper and got it off,
and with a groan as deep as well
and as hollow as drum, sank into
chair and clasped his foot in both
hands.
"Look out for the Scorpion" he
whispered hoarsely; Pm dead
man."
The small boy was by this time
out in the woOdshed, rolling in the
kindling in an ecstacy of glee, and
pausing from time to time to explain
to the son of a neighbor, who had
dropped in to see If there was any
innocent sport going on in which he
could share. ''Oh, Bill! BiilY' he
cried, 'syou wouldn't believe some
time to-day, somehow or other, a
big blue wasp got into the old mans
slipper, and when he came home
and put them On-Oh, Bill, yon
don't know what fun I've had! !"

From Sarah o. Jewett's Autumn Holiday,
in the October Harper.
That afternoon / found somethin:
/ had never seen before-a littlt
grave alone in the wide pasture
which had once been a field. Tht
nearest house was at least two mile,
away, but by hunting for it | foune
a very old cellar where the child,
home must have been, not very fal
off, along the slope. 1t must have
been a great many years ago tha
the house had stood there; and the
small slate maidstone was worn
away by the rain and wind, so thai
there was nothing to be read, if in,
deed there had ever been any letters
on it. 1t had looked many a storm
in the face, and many a red sunset
1 suppose the woods near by had
grown and been cut, and grown
again, since it was put there. There
was an old sweet-brier bush grow
ing on the short little grave, and in
the grass underneath / found a
ground-sparrow's nest.
1t was like a little neighborhood,
and / have felt ever since as if [ be-
longed to it; and I wondered then
If one of the young ground-spar-
rows was not always sent to take
the nest when the nest when the
old ones were done with it, 50 they
came back in the spring year after
year to live there, and there were
always thestOne and the sWeet-brier
bush and the birds to remember the
child. 1t was such a lonely place
in that wide field, under the great
sky, and yet it was so comfortable
too; but the sight of the little grave
at first touched me strangely, and /
tried tc picture to myself the process
sion which came out from the house
theday of the funeral, and | thought
of the mother in the evening after
all the people had gone home, and
how she missed the baby, and kept
seeing the new grave out here in
the twilight as she went about her
work. l suppose the family moved
away, and so all the rest were bur-
led elsewhere.
/ often think of this place, and l
link it in my thoughts with some
thing saw once in the water when
l was out at sea; little boat that
some child had lost, that had drift
ed down the river, and out to sea
too long a voyage, for it was a sad
little wreck, with even its white
sail of hands breadth half under
water and its twine rigging trailing
astern. 1t was silly little boat,
and no loss, except to its owner, to
whom it had seemed as brave and
proud a thing as any ship of the
line to you and me. 1t was ship
wreck of his small hopes, | suppose,
and l can see it now the toy of the
great winds and waves, as it fioated
on its way, while sailed mine, out
of sight of land.
The little grave is forgotten by
everybody but me, ] think the
mother must have found the child
again in heaven very long time
ago; but in the winter shall won
der if the snow has covered it well,
and next year / shall go to see the
sweet brier bush when it is in bloom.
God knows what use that life was,
the grave is such a short one, and
nobody knows whose little child it
was; but perhaps thousand peo-
pie in the world to-day are better
because it brought little love into
the world that was not here before,

A sUNDAY-scHooL superintend-

A sUNDAY-sCHOOL superintend-
ent writes to the Christian at Work
as follows:
I superintend a Sunday-school.
Many of the young men who attend
come down to the school with ci-
gars in their mouths. Some of the
good ladies in the church have re-
quested me to forbid this conduct on
the part of our scholars. / desire to
respect their wishes, but am not
sure that the young men are doing
anything out of the way. / do not
smoke myself, but many better
men do, and seem to think ii a good
thing. Last year went on an ex-
cursiOn with ministerial party.
They were representative men in
their various denominations and it
is within the truth to say that one
half of them smoked. They did
this openly, and in sight of all the
men and boys who congregated to
see them pass. This occurrence led
me to reconsider my former opin-
ions, and to question, after all,
which are right, the good women OF
the church or the smoking boys of.
the sunday-schoOl. Now, this ques-
ton ought to be settled one way or
the other by our moral teachers. If
smoking is good thing, they ought,
by word as well as example, to en-
courage the boys in their congrega
tion TO learn the habit. If it is a
bad thing, and the Christian re
formers of our time are right in try
ing to dissuade men from the habit,
then, say, it is a burning shame
that they have not only the evil it.
self to contend with, but the exam
pie of so many of our leading cler-
gymen working continually against
them.

The betting, upon election results
is an indication OF popular senti-

way OF betting to-day is decidedly
in favor of the democratic candi-
dates. Thus, he betting men offer
the odds of $lO0 to $40 that Ham
cock will be elected President, 800
TO $50 that Indiana goes democratic,
and even bets that Ohio goes demo
cratic. The odds on New York are
democratic SlO0 to $50. They claim
that with Offering these odds they
find it difficult to get bets, and that
the republican politicians aud bet
ters are shy at accepting the odds.

eats more than his system requires,
or the organism, as a whole, Is con-

of digestion and assimilation are
overworked, and hence, doubtless,
many of the most troublesome dis
