A Land Where There are no
ElOpementS.
convenienc,

Elopements are not believed in in
Lapland, for if a man marries maid
without her parents consent the PEN
atty is death. When young man
has formed an attachment to a female,
the fashion is to appoint their friends
to mest, to behold the young parties
run a race together. The maid is al
lowed in starting the advantage of a
third part of race, 80 that it is impos.
sible, except willing of herself, that
she shoald be overtaken. If maid
over-runs her suitor the matter is
ended he must never have her, it be-
ing penal for the man to renew the
motion for marriage. But if the vir-
gin has an affection for him, though
at first she runs hard to try the truth
of his love, she will (without Allan
tas golden balls to retard her speedy
pretend to meet some casualty, and
voluntarily halt before she comes to
the mark or end of the race. Thus
none are compelled to marry against
their wishes, and this is the cause in
this poor country the married people
are richer in their contentment than
in other lands, where SO many forced
matches make feigned love and cause
real unhappiness.

How a Widow had Her SEN
SeS" Taken.

1t was dilapidated man that
bundled himself off the evening train,
entered the station and took a seat.
He had wholesale liquor breath
about him and steaming up through
him, and his nose was as the winter
green berry, red and round and dis
tinctively bright, as if all the rum he
had drunk all through his abandon
ed life had flowed into his empurpled
probocis and there formed a gem,
which made him an ornament to bach
analian society.
"Does the Widow Marshmeadow
live here now?" he inquired of Off
Ger Mowrey.
The officer, with his wonted cour-
tesy, directed him to her residence.
It was 9 o'clock when he arrived
there and summoned her to the door.
"Don't be embarrassed, madam,
he said with wonderful mildness OF
tone and manner, "because you don't
know me. History has ever been par
tial and omitted from her bronzed and
statuesque pages the names of her
proudest sons. This omission i'm
parts uniqueness to mans fame. 1

every name in town but yours. The
hour is late and exhausted nature re-
quires, in fact imperatively insists up
on, refreshment and the restoration
Of sleep. I cannot proceed further
with this sublime undertaking until
l have both"
"You may come in and stay over
Sunday" she said, "snd in the morn
ing I will have killed pair of yell
low-legged chickens" :"
1t was 10 o'clock, and the census
taker still sat at the widows table,
and her third bottle of old ourrant
wine before him.
~ shall put your name" he said,
with Incompatible tenderness of tone
and address, somewhere about the
middle of the book, and under the
head of Remarks" shall add the fol-
lowing: 'Cosey residence ; tastefully
ornamented latch-string always out /;
beautiful fruit trees and ounce bush
es here abound in outrageous abun-
dance /; yellow legged chickens always
to be found ON the premises their
legs become stained to beautiful
yellow by constant wading through
the golden leaves of the naples that
glorify the lawns and approaches of
the bsauteous homestead.
The widow smiled delightedly, and
concluded to put the presant census
taker in her best bed-chamber, where
all night long his nose shone in his
facial armament like lone star of

ACCORDING to a statement in the
Northwestern L1mbsrman, 1000 laths
will cover seventy yards of surface,
and eleven pounds of nails put them
on. Eight bushels of good lime, ff-
teen bushels of sand, and one bushel
of hair, make enough good mortar to
plaster 100 square. yards. A cord Of
stone, three bushels of lime, and a
cubic yard of sand will lay 100 cubic
feet of wall. One thousand shingles,
laid four inches to the weather, will
cover 100 square feet Of surface, and
FIVE pounds of nails fasten them on.
One-ffth more siding and flooring is
needed than the number of square
feet of suface, because of the lap in
the siding and the matching of the
floor. Five courses Of brick will lay
one foot in height on chimney, and
six bricks in course will make fue
four inches vile and twelve long.

LINES ON THE DEATH OF MRS.
RUTH DA WSON.

RUTH D4 WSON.
Respectfully Inscribed to Her Bereaoed
Children.
Close the gentle eyelids;
And over the quiet breast
Fold the loving, tender hands
In blissful, dreamless rest.
Not in life's joyous morn;
Not in youths gilded age;
But with her work all nobly done,
She left life's weary stage.
From out the heavenly throng
There came an angel band,
And whispered-"Jesus calls for thee;
Come to the spirit-land;
Come where the weary rest,
In the starry world above;
Come, dwell among the blest;
Come to the realms of love-"
Now happy round the throne
With loved ones gone before,
She waits to greet you all
Upon the shining shore.
Sad mourners, weep no more;
In that bright, happy land,
Yen meet, no more to take
The sad, sad parting hand.
