A Half Cents Worth Of Bliss for Two.

Rev. A. S. Leinbach, of Reading,
received a note from Sinking Spring
few days ago, requesting him to
be ready to marry couple at his resi-
dence on q certain day. The clergy
man was waiting on the day appointed,
but the couple did not appear, and he
supposed they had changed their
minds. The next day, however, while
he was absent from home and the la
dies of his household were busted with
their domestic duties, the door-bell
was rung and on the steps stood the
couple from the country. The girl
was quite young, but the man was con-
siderably older. They said the rain
had kept them at home on the day ap-
pointed, but they desired to be married
at once. They were invited in and Rev.
Mr.. Leinbach was searched for at the
Post-office and elsewhere, without sue
cess. Another minister from the
country, however, was met by the mes
senger, and requested to perform the
ceremony. He went to Rev. Lem
bach's house, two ladies of the family
were called as witnesses and the
nuptial knot was tied. After receiving
a handsome marriage certificate the
couple took their leave, and at the
moment of departure the groom put
into the hands of the officiating clergy
man something rolled up in white pa
per. They then departed in such
haste as to excite surprise. The pack
age was opened and roll after roll of
paper removed, until at last the mar
riage fee was found-an old-fashioned
copper half-cent of 1832.-Readinq

Dancing on Sunday Under Umbrellas.

There is curious survival "a CORE
spondent writes to us from Foix) of
ancient customs in the capital of the
Ariege-the local fete which takes place
in the month of October. preserving
many of the features which character
lied it during the Middle Ages. The
whole of the town takes part in it, and
dancing in the open air begins at 0ne
in the afternoon, and, with an interval
of a couple of hours for dinner, lasts
till daybreak the next morning. The
spacious promenade of the town, at the
foot of the ruins of the chateau of Cas-
ton Ph9bus, is transformed into a ball
room and magniicently illuminated,
and upon the eminence above it is o
military band, generally brought from
Toulouse. The dancers are divided
into three separate groups; to the right
the grisettes, in the center the peasants
and to the left the ladies'; the charac-
teristic part of the fete being that all
classes of the community are expected
to take part in it. and that the wife and
daughter of the project would incur
much unpopularity if they declined to
dance. These fetes are never disturbed
by any disorderly conduct, and not in
the memory of the traditional "oldest
inhabitant" has any misunderstanding
been known to arise. Every now and
then a thunderstorm bursts over the
town; but unless the rain is very heavy
the dancing is not interrupted, and it
is amusing to see quadrille or waltz
being gone through under the protec-
ton Of forest of umbrellas. The fete
lasts over two Sundays. and attracts
crowds of people from the mountainous
districts of Ariege and from the con-
tiguous Val fAndorIe.-& Janses's

SOUND AT CORE.

The wind Is fierce and loud and high
Tho angry tempest hurtles by,
With quivering keel and straining sail
The ship of state confronts the gale;
Rocks are ahead and peril near;
But still We face the storm, nor fear,
Saying this brave truth DER and DER;
The Nations heart is sound at core.
We knew Il in those darker days
When all the kind. familiar ways
And all the tenderness of life
Seemed lost In bitterness and strife;
When, torn with shot and riddled through
Lay in the dust our Red and Bluc.
Dropped by the gallant hands that bore
The Nations heart 10 sound at core"
We said Il when the war-cloud rent
And out OF field and out OF tent
The bronzed soldier, Blue and Gray,
Took each the peaceful homoward way;
When the foiled traitors sought to attain
By fraud what force had failed tn gain
.Heart-sick, VIC said the words once more:
The Nations heart Is sound at core"
And always. as the worst seemed near,
And stout hearts failed for very fear,
Came great throb the country through
The Nations heart, still beating trueI
All! mother-land and mothcr-brcast,
We still will trust you and will rest,
Although waves howl and tcmpests lower;
Your heart, our heart, Is sound mt core.

An Address.
HEADQUARTERS
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE,

NATIONAL E,
NEW YORK, NovemberS s.
The National Republican Committee
to-day issued the following address to
the country on the results of the elec-
ton:
The Republican National Committee
presents to the country resume of the
sweeping victory won by our party on
Tuesday, November 2, which has been
so cheerfully accepted by all thought
full and patriotic men, and by the great
business and commercial interests of the
Nation. Garfield and Arthur have re-
ceived 213 Electoral votes, and will be
inaugurated President and Vice-Presi-
dent March 4, 1881. The actual result
in New Jersey, California and Nevada
is so close that it cannot be ascertained
until the official count is made, but we
have reason to believe that at least one,
if not two, of these States have given
their Electoral vote to our candidates.
The popular majority for Garfield and
Arthur will not fall short of $40, 900 in
the Northern States. If the Republi-
cans at the South had been permitted
to vote as they wished, and have their
votes counted as they were cast, at
least six of these States would have re-
corded majorities ranging from 5000 to
&C, 900 for our ticket. The majorities,
therefore, claimed by our adversaries in
most of the Southern States we regard
unworthy of consideration.
We have carried the Legislature of
every Northern State, except Nevada,
where straightout Democrat will be
elected to the United States Senate to
succeed Mr.. Sharon after the 4th of
March next. The United States Senate
will stand thirty-seven Republicans,
thirty Democrats, and two Inde-
pendents. Two Southern States given
to the Democrats in the above estimate
are vet to elect Senators, and it is not
unlikely that we shall secure one of
them. -
In the lower house of Congress we
have not less than fifteen majority. No
officer of the present Congress can re-
duce or imperil this majority except by
a revolutionary act.
Garfield and Arthur have been elected
by unparalleled popular majorities in
that portion of the country where the
right of every citizen is recognized to
vote as he pleases and have his vote
honestly counted. This result in the
intelligent and free North is a chaste
and loud answer to the indecent manner
! in which our adversaries have waged
the whole of their campaign.
Republicans may be assured that no
afterthought of two or three mortified
and desperate leaders of the minority,
writhing under their party's censure.
will be allowed to trifle with this
mighty verdict, or prevent the organi-
zation of the Government on the ap-
pointed day by the resolute men chosen
70 administer it.

Transplanting Evergreens.

The prevalent feeling upon this sub
ject is near akin to superstition. Imag-
mary difficulties are as abundant as
ghost stories, and practices as absurd
as exorcism are freely suggested. Each
year matches out new brood of boast
.ers who cackle in the agricultural pa
pers over their fancied ingenuity in ac-
complishing without ruinous losses
thing which has really accomplished it
self, by virtue of its natural facility and
in spite of their absurd precautions.
The black oak drops its leaves in
autumn. The white oak shrivels them
up but will not let them fall till spring,
except in severe climates. The live oak
is always green. Natures law of
growth is the same in all the oaks. 1t
is the law of decay which varies.
Neither do needle-shaped leaves iudi-
cate a new problem. The pine is ever
green, the larch deciduous; but they
grow alike. The general law in all
cases is this: new leaves are produced

to this general rule and some real ones;
but all the phenomena of adventitious
buds and latent powers of develop
ment are held in common. The same
laws govern all, both as to uniformities
and variations. The practical differ
ences are between different species of
each family, and not between the two
families. On the average, such ever
green species as are commonly chosen
for ornamental trees bear transplanting
better than their deciduous compan-
ions; and the same comparison holds
good in regard to pruning. Indeed,
the more common evergreen lawn
trees are the tame victims of much
barbarous treatment. Many persons
have no affection for natural beauty
and no reverence for unstudied grace
fulness. There is no genuine vitality
rigid enough to satisfy their longings,
and they select that which is most
patient of contradiction and prune it
into artificial formality. Hence arise
ignorant prejudices concerning trees,
which control the judgment of those
who know nothing but gardens and
courtyards. and influence many who
have opportunity to learn the truth.
Both evergreen and deciduous trees
sprout in spring, grow during summer.
harden their shoots and form terminal
buds in the autumn, remain torpid in
winter, each years growth forming a
ring in every cross section of the trunk.
The time and method of transplanting
should, consequently, be the same for
both. With ordinary care and skill,
and reasonably favorable conditions of
soil and exposure, a thousand Norway
spruce trees can be set out in fall or
spring without single failure. 1t is

The admission of women to the

versity College, London. inaugurated
two years ago, seems to have met with
a most gratifying success. In the re-
cent examinations both Latin prizes
and one of two Greek prizes were
awarded to women, and, as a proof
that the required standard is not low,
it is stated that the second competitor
for the Latin prize has won an Oxford
scholarship. In French two prizes out
of three were awarded to women, in
English four out of nine and the only
one IN political economy. These. facts
cannot fail to give encouragement to
those who favor and urge a higher sys-
| tenn of female education. -.
