A Singular Wedding.

A strange marriage ceremony was recent
ly witnessed in Pennsylvania cemetery, the
contracting parties being a minister of the
gospel and lady over whom there seems to
have hung deep veil of mystery. The
bridal party, numbering four persons, ar
rived in Pittston late in the evening from
New York, and, procuring the services of
driver, they were driven to Wyoming Gem
etery, short distance out of town. As
soon as the carriage stopped the occupants
got out and passed to the gate, and, preceded
by two gentlemen, the quartet moved among
the tomb-bordered paths to distant part
of the cemetry.
Here they halted directly in front of
grave, at the head of which stood white
marble cross. Presently the lady and her
companion separated, each taking position
on opposite sides of the grave. They then
joined hands. The two who were left took
positions, one at the head and the other at
the foot of the grave, each facing the other.
At this moment the bell of church tower
tolled the hour of midnight, and before the
reyefberations had died away marriage
ceremony had commenced above the grave
in the cemetery. The service was short
and the scene most singular and impressive.
A few moments later the four returned to
the carriage and were driven back to the
place from whence they started.
The driver of the vehicle could give no
further information other than that one of
the gentlemen was a minister of the gospel,
as was revealed from the cut of his
garments. -

The Art Of Thinking.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the
fundamental importance of perfect command
over thought. How many a student finds
lack of this power the chief hindrance to
progress! How many page must be re-
read, how many lessons cOnned over and over
to compensate for lapses of thought In the
possession or absence Of this power over mind
lies the chief difference between mental
strength and mental weakness. Some men
think as child plays with hammer, strik-
ing little blows here, there, anywhere, at any
object within reach. The action of strong
mind may be compared to the stone-breaker'
sledge-hammer, dealing stubborn blows sue
cessively upon one spot till the hard rock
cracks and yields. The power to classify
and arrange ideas in proper order IS one that
comes more OR less slowly to evenathe best
of minds. In proportion as this faculty is
strengthened, desultory and wasted effort
diminishes When the mind acts, it acts to
some purpose, and can begin where it left
off without going over the whole ground
again to take up the threads of its ratiocika-
tons. Concentration and system are thus
seen to be the chief elements in the artsof
thinking. To cultivate the first, constant
watchfulness to detect the least wandering,
and the immediate exertion of the will to
call back and hold the mind upon the sub
ject under consideration, should be yiligant-
ly exercised. To secure the latter, the prac-
tice of Analysing and considering the differ
ant parts of subject, first separately, and
then in their relations to each other, is
discipline to which every young mind should
be subjected, and which, we are sorry to
say, is much neglected in most methods of
instruction.

being discovered by their keen eyes the mo-
ment they had looked around the surround
ing country. l must certainly confess to
very bad scare; all sorts of wild schemes re-
yolved through my brain; rushing down
the hill in desperate effort to escape and
reach the train presented itself, and was
dismissed as vain and futile.
Then the calmness of desperation seemed
to come, and with vague, dreamy feeling
of plying myself as one in bad way, lay
revolver in hand, meditating whether it
would not be better to reserve the last bull
let for myself, so as not to fall alive into the
hands of savages.
At last the climax came. An exclamation
from one showed an object of interest, and |
could hear them cluster together, and talk
rapidly. From the infection of their voices,
| knew they had discovered something.
What could it be? In moment | remem-
bered in my haste had left small metal

dian certainly, and Sioux, too-but to my
intense relief recognised the peculiar fea-
lures of 'sTartanka Morza,' or "Iron Buff
falo," one of the scouts attached to the ex-
petition.
Our mutual surprise was great. l never
felt so lovingly disposed to an Indian in my
life. He himself could not tell what to
make of the apparition of a white man sud
denly springing from behind rock, with
such decidedly hostile appearance; and
we stood looking at each other. till with
the intuitive perception of an Indian, the
whole thing seemed to burst on his mind,
and we both exploded into roar of laughter
lit is mistake to say redskins do not laugh) ,
in which the rest joined. Sitting down, we
discussed the affair by pantomine over a
pipe, and then seeing below the white tents
rapidly rising, and dotting the neighboring
hillside, while the bugles made themselves
heard sounding halt as each company came
up, denoting the stoppage for the night, l
strolled leisurely down the hill to rejoin my
friends, and having got over .my fright,
amused them that night with the story Of

Tough on the Fish.

A devout clergyman sought every oppor-
tunity to impress upon the mind of his son
the fact that God takes care of His creatures;
that the falling sparrow attracts his atten-
ton, and that His loving kindness is over all
His works. Happening, one day, to see a
crane wading in quest of food, the good man
pointed out to his son the perfect adaptation
of the crane to get his living in that manner.
"See," said he, chow his legs are formed
for wading! What a long slender bill he
has Observe how nicely he folds his feet
when putting them in or drawing them out
of the water he does not cause the slightest
ripple He is thus enabled to approach the
fish without giving them any notice of his
arrival" "My son." said he, " it is i'm
possible to look at that bird without recog-
nizing the goodness of God in thus providing
the means of substance" eyes," replied
the boy, " think l see the goodness of God,
at least so far as the crane is concerned; but

Chin.

A pointed or round chin indicates con-
genial love. A person with such chin
will have beau ideal, and will not be easily
satisfied with real men or women.
The indented chin indicates great desire
to be loved; hunger and thirst for affection.
When large in woman, she may oyerstep
the bounds of etiquette, and make love to
one that pleases her.
A narrow square chin indicates desire
to love; and is more common among wo-
men.
The broad square chin indicates violent
love; or at least devoted attachment.
The broad square chin indicates ardent
love, combined with great steadfastness and
permanence of affection.
The retreating chin is indicative Of the
want of attachment, and but little ardor in
love.
The chin, in its length and breadth, indi-
Gates self-control, self-will, resolution, de-
cision, etc.
Carniverous animals have the upper jaw
projecting, while those of graminivorous
nature have the lower jaw projecting. In
man with projecting upper jaw will be
found large destructiveness and love of ami
NAL food; when the lower jaw projects,
then the love for vegetable food.

The Curse of Drink.

The appetite for strong drink in man has
spoiled the life Of more women-rulned more
hopes for them, scattered more fortunes toI
them, brought them to more sorrow, shame
and hardship than any other evil that lives.
The country numbers tens-nay, hundreds
of thousands women who are widows TO-
day, and sit in hopeless weeds, because theiI
husbands have been slain by strong drink.
There are hundreds of thousands OF homes
scattered over the land, in which women
live lives of torture, going through all the
changes of suffering that lie between the ex-
tremes of fear and despair, because those
whom they love, love wine better than they
do the women they have sworn to love.
There are women by thousands who dread
to hear the step that once thrilled them with
pleasure, because that step has learned to
reel under the influence Of the seductive
poison. There are women groaning with
pain while we write these words, from
bruises and brutalities inflicted by husbands
made mad by drink. There can be no exag-
geration in any statement in regard to this
matter, because no humans imagination can
create anything worse than the truth. The
sorrow and horrors of wife with drunken
husband, or a mother with drunken son,
are as near the realization of he'll as can be
reached in this world at least. The shame,
the indignation, the sorrow, and the sense
of disgrace for herself and children, the pow
erty, and not unfrequently the beggary-the
fear and the fact of violence, the lingering,
lifelong struggle and despair of countless
women, with drunken husbands, are enough
to make all women curse wine, and engage
unitedly to oppose it everywhere as the worst
enemy of their sex.

A Temperance League.

The ladies Of Dayton, Ohio, recently met
in session, and formed themselves into an
association to be known as the "Womans'
Temperance Praying League of Dayton. -
After debate of some length, they adopted
the following pledge, thirty-eight ladies af-
fixing their signatures thereto: We, the
woman Of Dayton, seeing the growing evils
of intemperance in our midst and the need
of active energetic work to counteract these
evils, hereby pledge ourselves to unite our
labors without regard to church or creed to
do everything in our power to exterminate
them. Among the various means that we
believe may be used to benefit, we recognize ::
First-The power of God as the disposer of
all events and the hearer of prayer. Second
Private influence in our families and
among our friends, discountenancing the
making or using of domestic wines or the
use of any intoxicating liquors in our famil-
les unless presented by a reliable or Compel
ent physician. Thirdly using our infu-
ence as becomes Christian wives, mothers,
or daughters in all practicable ways for the
election of such men to our public Offices as
will justly and faithfully administer the
laws, and by aiding in meeting fund to
forward the interests of the temperance
movement. Fourth--By standing by and
encouraging any woman who shall prosecute
the liquor dealer for selling to her husband,
son, or relative.

The Brain.

For some years past, Psychologists have
known that certain parts of the brain have
certain special functions; that they govern
and affect certain parts of the body and no
other This knowledge was arrived at by
Investigations, chemical or electrical, Of the
living brain, or by observations of the brain
in state of disease. There was some truth
in phrenology, after all; only modern re-
search has shown that phrenologists were
wrong in mapping out the brain. Foremost
among the newly discovered facts is that the
left side of the body is governed by the right
side of the brain, and uice Uersd; and this
discovery was made by observing that palsy
of either side of the body is accompanied by
disease of the opposite side of the brain.
One part of the brain governs motion,
another sensation, another the operations of
the intellect. The function of the cerebel-
lum has long been an obscure question in
physiology; that part of the brain is now
found to be the great center for the move
ments of the muscles of the eyeball. In the
disease described as aphasia, the person af-
fected loses the power of expressing his
thoughts in words, either spoken or written.
He remains intelligent, can comprehend
what is going on, has no paralysis of the
organs of speech, but is utterly at loss to
find words, and in some cases to tell his
name. In such cases, as now ascertained,

Wonderful Discovery.

II. Hornschwanz, living in Gilbertown,
Iowa, commenced digging well in lot.
When about twenty-five feet down he came
to broad, fiat stone, which was removed
with much labor. Underneath it was found
sarcophagus, of which it appeared to be the
cover. In this receptacle were found many
articles which will prove of important in
terest to psychologists. The skull, verte-
bra, and some ribs partially charred, of a
man. An iron circlet or crown, bronze
dagger and battle-axe, the first instance of
the two ages thus being combined, several
fnger-rings, peculiar instrument of music
resembling a modern jewsharp, but without
the vibrator, and a small panel of wood
much m-eaten, but that having been done
before interment, on which is partially en-
graved and partially printed nude figure
bound to tree, with an arrow stuck in the
side--and around the head a glory similar
to that seen around the heads of saints in
the pre-Raphaelistic pictures. These ancient
remains are now on exhibition, and will
eventually become Improperly of the Acad-
envy of Sciences.

Pooling a Coon.

While hunting on Banana river, one day,
says correspondent of Forest and Stream,
L was witness to one of those episodes in
animal life that seem to warrant the belief
that many birds are possessed Of higher at
tributes than are generally accorded them,
and something more than mere instinct.
My guide had waded long way ahead in
the shallow water, and was cautiously APP
preaching a 'drove" of spoonbills, leaving
me to follow with the boat.
Not relishing the idea of wading about in
the muddy water, with stingrays and saw
fish, pushing the heavy boat before me. I
concluded that such proceedings were not in
my line of duty, and so sat upon the rail
idly FLASHING the water with my feet.
My attention was called to a disturbance
among the mangroves of little islet near,
and soon there tapped into view black
duck, a female, evidently wounded. Close
in her wake followed sly-looking coon,
his attention so occupied with the duck as
not to notice me till fairly in view. Then he
hesitated but the duck brushed so near his
nose that he again took up the pursuit,
throwing a glance occasionally at me. II
was interesting to watch them; keeping just
ahead of her pursuer, the duck would beat
the water quickly, all the time in evident
pain, and would so delude the old fellow
that he finally seemed to think of nothing
else but catching her. What puzzled ex-
preston his shrewd face wore, when, after
nearly placing his paw upon her, she would
escape. Then he would stop, look at me, as
if to say, "What the deuce does all this
mean?" and arching his back, would again
pursue with long leaps. For over quarter
of an hour did the duck play with him, till
having enticed him sufficient distance from
her nest, she flew away. If ever the face
of sharp-nozed coon wore sheepish look
it was the face of that same coon. | accel.

The Language Of Rings.

Whilst the coquettish girls of Spain, II
times gone by, carried on innumerable cor.
responsiveness and love affairs by the aid Of
their fans, without uttering a single word
their French sisters used rings as signs and
symbols of similar character. Apearl and
garnet ring signifed its owner was unhappy
a thin circlet of fine turquoises intimated the
fair ones inability to return her lovers sen.
timents, while thick, plain gold ring, ii
the shape of a knot, expressed her willing
ness to share his fortunes. One in the shape
of a gold serpent, with brilliant in hi:
head, indicated the lady's doubts of her gal
lant's sincerity; while her faith and hel
wish to confde in him always were shown
by ring formed by two clasped hands.

Mans Destiny.

1t cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding-pace. It cannot be that our life is
bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity,
to float moment upon its waves, and sink
into nothingness. Else, why is it, the high
and glorious aspirations, which leap like
angels from the temple Of our hearts, are
forever wandering about unsatisfed? Why
is it that the rainbow and the cloud come
over us with beauty that is not of earth,
and then pass off and leave us to muse upon
their faded loneliness? Why is it that the
stars which ''hold their festival around the
midnight throne" are set above our limited
faculties, forever hooking US with their I'M
approachable glory? And, finally, why is it
that bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sented to our view and then taken from US,
leaving the thousand streams of our affec-
tons to flow back in Alpine torrents from
our hearts? We are born for higher des-
tiny than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades-where the
stars will be spread out before us like the
islands that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which here pass before
US like shadows, will stay in our presence
forever.

Love Letters.

In every year will be written and mailed
just about so many letters of this kind,
whether people continue to call them silly or
sensible. 1t makes but little difference what
outsiders believe, so the parties interested
are suited with the contents. There may be
times when we would ridicule these little
missiyes; but, if we confess our true convic-
tons, love letters, even years after they are
written, reach the tenderest affections of our
nature.
We have seen them in various forms,
written with black ink and with blue, un-
derscored and dotted with many marks and
unknown signals, of interest only to the
owner; but we always felt that at best only
half of their contents were known. The
best part of love letter is unwritten; the
purest thoughts of our nature are seldom ut
tered. Pride has prevented one from owning
her true life-thoughts till it is too late.
Modesty kept the burning words of another
while, with another, love so overcame the
emotions as to break forth in tears to choke
the utterance.
Take the first letter in reply to broken
engagement; the heart is full to overflow
ing; sting of pride rankles beneath the
blighted hopes of a lifetime. Listen to the
words:
81 did not think it would come to this
but you are so noble-so good cannot forget
you. I know she will be happy in my place
but it breaks my heart to say that for your
sake you are. Free"
Another, with only the hope of engage
ment, has judged too hastily him whom she
found was promised ere they met:
civil indeed be your friend she writes,
but my life looks so dark and changed
would that | had never lived! No, I do not
mean that, for all my life that I care to re-
member has been lived since knew you. I
would not blot it out for all the rest. How
