Pass AIOna the Root.

Instead of asking the blessing on sit
ting down at the table, certain family
have for years been following the Gus
tom of repeating verses from the Bible,
each person repeating one, commencing
with the head of the family. A few
days since young man in the family
brought to dinner with him friend
who was not aware of the custom, and
was ready at all times to get in word
of merriment. When they sat down at
the table the young friend was placed
next to the head of the family, who be-
gan the worship by repeating, "The
love of money is the root of all evil -
The friend took 1t that the remark was
made to him, and replied by saying,
" Well, pass along the root" A sensa-
tion all around"

More Cold Weather.

Mr.. Henry G.. Vennor, the Canadian
weather prophet, writes as follows from
Montreal to the Albany argus, under date
of February 8: "The second cold period
in February will reach us on the
22d, 23d, Oath and 25th days. This, it
is probable, will be extremely cold along
the valley of the st. Lawrence and Otta-
wa rivers, northern United States, and
to the westward. February will certain
ly end cold. The second heavy snow
storm of the month should, by my
theory, come on us about the 18th, and
this bids fair to be heavy, with drifts and
fairly cold weather. We have yet to get
our heaviest snow falls of the winter,
and some of these are certain to extend
through March. Up to the 10th the
weather should be moist"

She Managed It.


The present Belgian prime minister,
Mr.. Frere Orban, when he was poor
law student and named only Frere,
fell in love with the daughter of q rich,
aristocratic family, named Orban. She
returned his love; but her parents op-
posed him. When he was about to be
examined, she said to him:
If you succeed, come in the evening
to the box at the opera, in which L shall
be with my parents and some of their
friends"
But will they admit me? asked the
poor student
will take care of that" replied the
girl.
Frere passed the examination with
great credit, and presented himself at
the box. His sweetheart rose as he en-
tered and kissed him, in the presence of
the whole company. After that there
was nothing for the parents to do but to
announce an engagement between them.
When the marriage took place, he add
ed, by request of the parents, their more
aristocratic name to his own.

A Foolish Child.

A sensation was caused at Bradford
Sunday forenoon by the sudden revela-
tion that j. M. Jones had clandestinely
married, a few weeks ago, Miss Eva
Jacobs, a girl only thirteen years DID,
The mother tainted when it was made
known to her, and is now in a precarious
condition. The girl admitted the truth
of the alliance, and Jones having been
sent for declared that he had married her
and commanded the girl to accompany
him Immediately. When the family at
tempted to interrupt him he drew his
revolver and threatened to kill any one
who interfered. Legal proceedings will
forthwith be instituted against him by
the enraged family.

A Reading Lesson.

THE following anecdote has been read
i aloud by q number OF persons, in
Guiding several professional gentlemen,
half dozen college graduates and as
many school teachers, not one of whom
made less than six mistakes in pronun-
clation, some reaching twenty-five. 1t
has been amended by the addition OF q
few more words of difficult pronupcia-
tlon, and is now presented to give others
an opportunity to distinguish themselves
In the same way:
A jocund sacreligious son of Beliai of
eplcurean tastes, who suffered from bron-
chitis, having exhausted his finances at
the annual joust, in order to make good
the deficit, resolved to ally himself TO a
comely, lenlent and docile young lady
Of the Malay or Caucasian race. He ac-
cordingly purchased calliope, coral
necklace of chameleon hue, and tur-
quoise ring, and securing q suite of
rooms at q hotel he engaged the head
walter as coadjutor. He then dispatch
ed an erudlte letter of the most unexcep-
tional chirography extant, with a senti-
mental hemstltch attached, inviting the
young lady to an orchestral concert
She was harassed, and with truculent
look revolted at the idea, refused to con-
slider herself sacrificeable to his desires
and sent polite note of refusal, on re-
ceiviug which he procured a carblne and
bowie knife, said that he could not now
forge fetters bymeneal or be inveigled into
matrimony,went to an isolated spot In a
state of squalor severed his jugular vein
and discharged the contents of his car
bine into his abdomen with grimace
at the raillery of his acquaintance. He
succumbed, and was irrefragably dead,
and neither vagaries nor pageantry were
permitted when he was conveyed to the
mausoleum, followed by his enervated
canine.

A Great WORK.

The work on The tunnel under the
Hudson river ,at the foot of Fifteenth st.,
N. Y, is being pushed forward as rap
idly as possible. The original plan of
building one tunnel 26 feet In width by
"a in heighth has been given up as Inn
practicable, and work is begun on two
separate tunnels, which will be Is
feet each in diameter. Both tunnels
will be incased with iron and then arch
ed on the inside with brick, from Jersey
City to the shore ON the New York side
Of the river. 1t is estimated that this
change In the original plans will cost
the company an additional half million
Of dollars.

MARY Ellzabeth's health Is too feeble
for much exsrtion, Mrs. Wilkes; you
don't do right to put anything hard up
on her, you know she has pain In her

determined to have It understood that
the hope OF the Wilkeses was only an
ornament to the world
"Well," said the squire, at last III

don't believe Elmetta would give up
this " lady In pink" as you call her, at

her."
"Where did she come from, squire
You hain't told us anything about her
yeti"
"To be sure, Mrs. Wilkes. Well, /
found her In a milliner's shop In the
city of Portsmouth"
I'm miliner's shop then she's
milliner, is she ? Well, / never ~
"Wlll you be kind enough to favor
us with all introduction should be
happy to see her before form an opln-
ion of her character" Mrs. Hanson's
tone was very patronizing, and SO the
squire seemed to think, for he hesltated
but moment before he said,
"Well, Mrs. Hanson, 1t will be an adj
vantage to her to form the acquaintance
of two such estlmable ladies as my pres
ent company and will be very glad
to present her to you forthwith. Pray
excuse me for moment"
Stop, squire !" shouted Mrs. w likes,
"what's her name?"
"Jennie Ray" returned the squire,
disappearing III the passage.
Jennie Ray u reg'lar story name !
She's some city highfyer, 'spose ~
Every likely, Mrs. Wilkes but see
the squire's mind is made up, and it's
no use to say anything. We must
make the best of her."
Just as Mrs. Hanson let fail this mag
unanimous speech, the door opened, and
the squire appeared.
Ladies'" said the squire, bowling po-
litely, "permlt me to present to you
Mrs. Jennie Ray, my daughters wax
doll, which l purchased at Portsmouth,
last week, and which arrived day before
yesterday at the depot by express The
cost of it was forty We dollars, and at
present have no intention of making
1t my wife !"
Poor Mrs. Wilkes Mortified Mrs.
Hanson With burning faces they took
their leave; and since then, believe,
they have miraculously minded their
own business.
Squire Richards was somewhat &C.
centric, and knowing how busy-bodies
gossiped about him, and having pur-
chased large eyed, wax-doll for his lit
tie daughter, the idea struck him that it
would be a fine joke on the scandal-lov-
ing people of Wheatwold, to take it
from the packing-case and ride home
with itin his buggy-in full view of the
public. We have seen the result.
The squire is still unmarried, and bids
fair to remain thus; his widowed sister
having established herself as mistress of
his family.

mistake made public, and wish it, as a
particular favor, that those who read
this little sketch will keep it as private
as possible.

Fees of Doctors.

The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in just at pres
ent. We believe the schedule for visits is
$500, which would tax a man confined to
his bed for year, and in need of daily
visit over $1,000 year for medical at

Hop Bitters taken in time would save the

IT IL proposed to put Postmaster General
Key a. a candidate for Vice President on the
ticket with Gen. Grant. II has ben stated
by Judge Key that as far as he is familiar
with the Republican sentimen. in the South
and as far as be had an opportunity to judge,
Gen. Grant is by all means the strongest
candidate in that section. Representative
Houk, Of Tennessee, says that owing to the
peculiar condition OF politics, growing out OF
the attempt on the part of the Democrats to
repudiate the State debt, that it would be an
easy matter, provided the Republicans took
advantage Of the opportunity, to bring over
a large portion Of the Democratic party who
are in favor Of the payment of the homes.
debts OF the State, and on this ground he
thinks ticket composed Of Grant and Key
would carry that State; that things in Ten
nessee are much in the came condition that
they are in Virginia, and strong leader
would unite and consolidate the discordant
elements in support of the Republican can

SENATORS Vest and Plumb, Monday, had

SENATORS Vest and Plumb, Monday, had
Q long interview with the President respect
ing the recent order Issued by the War De-
partment concerning the ejectment OF settlers
from the lands unopened TO settlement. Sen.
aior Vest explained the statutes of the State
of Missouri which prohibit the return of cat
tie sent into that country for Pasiurage until
after the month Of October. He further ex-
planned that il was customary among the
large stock raisers Of western ard southwest
ern Missouri to make contracts with the gra-
ziers in the fertile pasture lands OF the Indian
Territory for the pasturage OF their stock dur
ing the summer, and the statutes alluded TO
were protective measures againt the inlroduc-
ton OF the Texas cattle fever into the State
by the return of these cattle during the season
when the epidemic, if prevalent at al, af-
ficis the cattle. The President informed the
Senators that when the orrer was issued this
subject had not been brought to The attention
of the Secretary of War, and while the object
of the Government was to prevent settlers
from going upon Indian lands of the Indian
Territory, thus causing conflicts, there was
no intention OF bringing the order into an
tagonism with State Law, especially one Of
the character indicated, ana that he would
see that no injustice was done to the grsziers,
and that none OF the statutes OF Missouri
were violated through is operations. The
President further said that he would bring
the subject before the Cabinei, and minated
in very plain terms that he would direct a
modification of the order TO the extent desir-
ed by the Senators.
