Debt Is Danger.

No man Of good morality is happy when
in debt. His peace Of mind is disturbed
and he is led to commit imprudence or
sins foreign to his nature, The wiso man
who avoids debts avoids numberless dan

month, perhaps every week, and always
has money in hand. If he wants credit
no one can get it more easily, because it is
well known that debt forms no part of his

improves his moral character by adhering

A marriage 10 England performed after
twelve O'Clock is not, as some suppose, iu-
valid, but any clergyman officiating is sub
jeet to severe penalties. The time Of pub
fishing the banns in church was fixed by
the rubric, in order that, after full publica-
tion, there would be time enough 70 cele-
brate the ceremony before twelve o'clock
in full sight Of the congregation; aud this
has frequently been done, after which the
public church service is resumed.
The old custom Of marrying under the
gallows to save life seems to have been the
most romantic Of all forms Of tying the
knot. If a man or woman would consent
to marry, under the gallows, person con-
demned to death, the criminal might there
by be saved from execution. An old En-
glish ballad tells the story Of merchant
Of Chichester who was thus saved from
hanging by loving maiden; and in l7S4,
at New York, a man actually in this way
escaped death.
Pinkerton tells the story Of criminal
who refused marriage at the foot Of the
gallows, and preferred death. The event
has been celebrated in rhyme, more forci
bic than polite:
Then was victim In cart,
Ono day, for 10 be hangd.
And his reprigvc was granted
And the cart made for 10 stand,
Come, marry wife. and save yonr iIfe."
The judge aloud dld cry.

indeed that party carries The State at ell

says that the Democrats are determined

twenty years are hopeful of carrying the

been confident the rank and file have Dot

A, d. Lum, assistant secretary of thu

Gen. Weaver with being in collusion witt

that Lum is actuated by malice in making
the charges. Lum retorts By saying that

states that Weaver has had frequent con-
suitaslon with the Republican executive
committe, and that every movement is
known TO them; that Weaver is but q
paid agent in GarEeld's interest. Gen.
Viewers actions certainly look as if he
was more favorable to Garfield than
Hancock, as he never misses an oppportu-
nifty to abuse Democrats and yet spares
the feelings of Republicans. 1t does not
look very well for Weaver. who processes

entire energies to abuse of Democrats
