An Undecided Bridegroom.

Have you brought any witneSS?"
asked Rev. Mr.. Wood. of Bathgate, of a
middle aged couple who had come to be
married
No, we ne'er thocht of that. Is it
necessary"
"Oh, certainly" said the minister;
''you should have groOmsman and
bridesmaid as witnesses.
''Wha can we get, Jen, do We think?"
The bride. so addressed, suggested a
female cousin, whom the bridegroom
h d not previously seen, and after con-
su.tation, a man was also thought of.
"Step We AVA alang Jen, an ask
them an I'll walk about till We come
back"
Jen set out as desired, and. after some
time, returned with two friends, the
cousin being a blooming lass, some
what younger than than the bride.
When the parties had been properly
arranged, and the minister was about to
proceed with the ceremony, the bride
groom suddenly said, .'Wad We bide
wee, Sir?''
What is it now?n asked the minister.
"Weel, / was just gaun to say that if
it wad be the same to you, | wad rather
haze that ane," pointing to the brides
maid.
"A most extraordinary statement to
make at this stage! I'm afraid it is too
late to talk of such thing now"
''Is it?H said the bridegroom, in tone
of calm resignation to the inevitable
''Weel then, We maun Just gang on"

Oral Instruction.

That object teaching and oral instrue-
ton have not yielded the results expect
ed is becoming daily more and more
evident. In the former, mere observa-
ton does not result in insight; the
teacher points out facts which the pupil
Is suppOsedtO remember until he passes
on to new grade, when they are drop
ped, and other facts substituted in their
places. In oral teaching, as ordinarily
practiced, the instructor simply takes
the place of the book. The remedy for
this is simple, though not easily applied.
1t is to cultivate originality, to teach the
student to do his own thinking. to avoid
cram, to supply facts only as fast as
they can be assimilated. Experience has
shown that science can be inculcated
more easily by the true than by the false
method, and with infinitely greater ben
fit to the pupil. Any change must, of
course, be gradual.

THE B'TnY HOUSEWIVES.

The careful, tidy housewife, when she IS
giving her house its spring cleaning, should
bear in mind that the dear inmates of her
house are more precious than houses, and
that their systems need cleansing by purifying
the blood, regulating the stomach and bowels
to prevent and cure the diseases arising from
spring malaria and miasma, and she should
know that there is nothing that will do it so
perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest
and best of all medicines. See other column.

OF the physical structure. To restOre-it, per-
sons whose bowels are out of order. or whose
digestion is imperfect, should use HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, corrective of disOrdered
conditions of the secTetive, evacuative, and
digestive organs without peer. The most Sc
nOus consequences result from neglect of re-
fnrmatOry measures, where constipation is al
lowed to gain heaiway For this as for many
other sorders usually found in conjunction
with costiveness, such as dyspepsia bilious
ness, nervous arrangement, headaches, verti-
90, morning nausea and tine like, the Bitters
has long been recognized by the public and
the medical profession as a genuinely efficacious
remedy. Its action is never sudden and grip
ing, like that of a violent purgative, nor does
it like the average cathartic, tend to deplete
the system and weaken the bowels. On the
contrary, it inyigOrates and sOothes while it
regulates.
