The English We dding Hour.

Our marriage laws, says writer in
London Society, appear at last
to be on the eve of. alter
alton. What can be more dull
than the ordinary marriage GER
mony? The service and festivities
take place at time which, without
exhausting the day, cuts it up and
completely wastes it. The religious
service is to be reformed before
twelve; who does not know the weary
hours that precede the breakfast, the
sad consequences oftaking champagne
freely in the middle of the day, the
dubious hilarity, the departure OF the
principal performers in the ceremony,
The break up of the AFFAIR." And then
what to do2 The day is wasted
YOU can not dine, you are unsettled ;
and the probability is you 60 to the
club and fall fast asleep over book
and thus your days misery add long
and restless night. All this, it Is
hoped, will now be changed. In the.old
days Of the disgraceful fleet marriages
the law did good service in limiting
the hoars during which the ceremony
might be performed. But why should
any limitation now be in force? How
far preferable in every way would a
marriage be performed later in the
dsy, with a dinner instead of break
fast, and the happy couple starting
off for their hotel or country house
in the sentimental cleaning of the
eventide instead of in the staring
aud inqusitive glare of the afternoon !
And while on this point, could not the
marriage reformers overhaul the mar
riage service, and in fact generally
Gu tail the whole Of the clerical cere-
mony?

Cow Peas in Tennessee.

crop. AS renovator they are sowr

els per acre; narrowing one way and
cross narrowing tie other. The time Of
sowing is from the 10Th to the 18th OF
June They are plowed under in
August, when above half the peas
are ripe. This plan is also followed
for hay, cutting the peas with mower
and putting them in cocks like clover.
Like clover they can not endure
much wet without injury. For seed,
or to be fed Off by hogs or beef cattle
as they stand in the field, one furrow
lis run with the shovel pillow, laying off
rows three feet apart; then two fur
rows are thrown on this "listing, as
we call it then two more burrows are
run, "breaking out the middles,,, The
rows are then opened with small
bulltongued or cotten-opener, the peas
sowed all along the row Cor, better,
five to six peas dropped about twelve
to fifteen inches apart, then covered
with the cotton block or light harrow.
When the peas are we'll up, they are
scraped down with the horse-cotton
scraper, then earthed up with the
shovel or small sized Oliver pillow.
After waiting ten or fifteen days, the
middles are broken out, and the peas
are ''laid by"
The yield this way is from fifteen
to thirty bushels per acre, according
to the land. The yield in hay is from
two to -four tons, also according to
land. A neighbor. has raised five wheat
crops one year after another on seven
acres of what was called poor land
when he began with it, and the two
last crops made sixteen to twenty
bushels per acre. The frat crop on
chis land was five bushels to the acre.
When be cuts his wheat he places his
shocksin line, Their Immediately plows
his land and plants the peas. He
cuts then in August or turns them
under, and in October replows and
plants wheat. Tue work stock needs
corn while being fed the hay, but idle
horses OF mules need no food during
winter. This neighbours cattle, colts,
calves, goats and sheep are fiLer than
any of those surrounding him, and
eat nothing but pea hay. He is a
merchant in Brownsville, but has q
farm throe-squarters of a mile from
town. Seed peas can be bought for
81 80 per bushel. The immense cot
ton crop made in the south has hind
cred 80 much that not nearly as many
peas have been gathered as usual.
The price generally is 81 per bushel.

The Cucumber and Squash Bugs.

A correspondent of the Farmers Re.
view says: Take heaplng table
spoonful Of saltpeter, pulverize, and
put it into a pail Of water. Stir un
til all dissolved, and at night, when
the bugs are all in the ground at the
roots Of the plants, take pint cup OF
the solution and pour it full upon the
roots, and it will kill every bug that
it reaches. If all are not kille the first
time, put it on again. The saltpeter
is and excellent fertilizer, and will
pay ten times ltr cost IN the rapid
growth Of the vines. Having thorough
ly tried, he can vouch for It's success

Largest Yield Of What.

A short time a7o General John Gil.
bon, OF St. Paul, MINI. made the as.
.sertion that 100 bushels of wheat had
been raised on an acre of ground in
the territory of Montana. The state.
ment having been received with .incre.
dulitv, he wrote to the president of
the First National bank in Helena for
proof. In reply he received the Ger.
tificste Of the president and secreta.
W Of the Territorial fair association
that one Jas. L. Ray, of Lewis and
Clark County, was awarded first pre-.
MUM for the best acre of wheat
being 102 bushels to the acre. This
is believed to be the largest yield of
wheat on record.

STRANGE SPANISH CUSTOMS.

No sooner does Spanish prince or
princess of the blood royal condescend
tobe born than the august little stra niger
is called upon to play a conspicuous
part in court cerencnials of very
solemn and fatiguing character. The
programme of action to be observed on
such occasions has just been published
at Madrid, in anticipation of "happy
event" expected to take place in the
Palaco Real before the end of this
month, and will doubtless be carried
out to it's minutest detail. According
to ancient prescriptions, the lying-in
chamber of Spanish queen may not
have more than one door, which must
communicate with a saloon an which the
great officers of State, deputations from
both Chambers Of the Cortes, admirals,
mershals, and grandees Of Spain are
required to assemble when the Body
Surgeon of her Majesty shall announce
that the birth is at hand This an
nouncement is made to the President of
the Council and the Minister of Justice,
who are conducted by the King in per-
son into the Queens bedroom, where
the accoucheur officially communicates
to them the state of affairs. This they,
in their turn, impart to the illustrious
gathering in the aforesaid saloen. The
assembled dignitaries then wait patti
emily until the royal infant "deigns to
enter the world" AS soon as this i'm
portant event takes place, the King
carries the new born babe into the
saloon on a huge golden salver, and ex-
hibits it to all present, commencing
with the Minister President. Twenty
four hours later its birth is registered
civilly, and the Cardinal Patriarch of
India baptizes it in the palace chapel.
Immediately after this ceremony the
baby if boy, is dubbed knight, and
invested with the insignia OF the
Golden Fleece.

A COMPLIMENT TO BASHFULNESS.

I'VE never saw bashful man who
was not the soul of honor. Though
such may blush and stammer, and
shrug their shoulders awkwardly, un-
able to throw forth with ease the
thoughts they would express, yet com.
mend them to us for friends. There
are touches in their character which
time will mellow and bring out. La
dies with really good hearts and culti-
waited intcllects will reward the gallant
Sir Mustachio Brainless with smiles
and attention because he can fold a
shawl gracefully and handy compli-
ments with much elegance, would not
coadescend to look upon the worthier
man. The man who is bashful in the
presence Of ladies is their defender
when the loose tongue of the slanderer
would defame them; yet he who would
die to defend them is least honored by
the female sex. Whoever heard of
bashful lioertine? The anomaly is
never seen. Ease and elegance are his
requisites; upon his lips sits fattery,
ready to pay conrt to blue eyes and
to black. He is never nonplussed; he
never bushes; for word he would
professedly lay down his life; yet he it
is who fills dens with wrecks of female
purity; it is he who profanes the holy
name of mother; desolates the shrine
where domestic happiness is throned;
ruins the hearts of those who trust in
him and AL under the mask Of pol.
