Fifteen Minutes TOO Late.

A benign-looking old gentleman, whom
most people would call over 60, with rosebud
in his buttonhole, leading blushing young
lady apparently just out of her teens, in ne W
silk dress, made profound bow before Clerk
Of Courts Laughton the other day, in City
Building, and both expresseda joint desire to
be made one. He gave his age as 80 and her
age as 20. They had been duly published and
were duly joined in matrmony. In about fif-
teen minutes, in came two excited women and
demanded to know if the ceremony had taken
place. They were very indignant; said they
should employ counsel and upset the whole
thing; declared the old gentleman was over
70 years of age, and the girl under II and
under guardianship Mr.. Laughton calmly
told them they were fifteen minutes too late
He afterwards learned that it was Jealous
sister of the bride, whom the old gentleman
with the rosebud had forsaken for youth and
beauty, who caused the trouble.-Lewiston

Bates College.

The next commencement at Bates will be
radically different from any preceding com
mencsment week The present Senior class
have voted to have no commencement concert,
and perhaps will have no public exercises Of
class day. The doing away with the concert
is owing to a lack of sufficient patronage in
the past to enable the graduating classes to pay
for the talent employed without putting their
hands pretty deep into their own pockets. The
expenses OF the Senior year are necessarily
quite large, and to pay, in addition to these
from S15 to $50 apiece, that the public may
have the benefit of first class concert is rath-
er poor financial management. The present
Senior class have therefore decided to break
away from the old established custom, hoping
that other classes may follow their Gus
tom. till the time CONFESS that concert given by
some of the best talent in the country can be
self-Supporting.

A Praiseworthy Deed.

j. w. Smith of Andover, Mass, has again
remembered the crew of Life Saving Station
No. 6, Biddeford Pool, in an additional gift of
eighty volumes of nice reading matter, making
in all more than two hundred volumes which
he has donated to this station. Mr. Smith
readily understands the wants Of men en-
ployed in these stations. His voyages to Scot
land and his trip to Bermuda brought him in
contact with the hardy sons of the ocean for
whom he has ever manifested deep interest.
The men who are employed at the different
stations on our coast who are called upon to
brave the storms of winter and to risk their
lives in rescuing shipwrecked seamen can full
ly appreciate these acts of kindness, and to
feel that while they are shut up during the
long, dreary winter months kind friends are
ready to minister to their comfort will help
shorten many a lonesome watch while on pa.

ssnce of the boys. AS the cover came off and
what appeared to be fat turkey, all wrapped
up, appeared to view, Wiggln cried out, "Ah!
boys what did tell you. This is what I've
been expecting all day." Slowly he un rap
ped the coverings when an immense owl was
disclosed, which measured five feet from tip
to tip of the wings, brick and letter. The
letter stated the brick was sent for stuffin
and explained how he should cook his bird.
Then there was shout, but Wiggin took the
joke in first rate shape and says "he'll get
even with that fellow yet"
