A RACE FOR A BRIDE.--A novel we'd
ding was celebrated at Pollockville, N.
c., on Sd inst. 1t seems that Moses John
Miller and Alexander Bibb, two well-to-
do young farmers, were in love with the
same girl, .Leonora Lloyd. She was not
able to decide which she liked best. On
Sunday morning Bibb walked home from
church with her, and left her under the
impression that she said she would marry
him. Sunday night Miller went to see
her, and understood her to say that she
would marry him. Both men next morn
ing went to the court house to get out
the license. Each procured the neces.
sary documents, and started of with a
license to marry Miss Lloyd. :. They met
at the court house door, and, after some
talk, agreed that the first man who
reached the lady's house should marry
her. The residence Of Col. Lloyd was
one mile distant, and both men started
on the race for the bride. Bibb soon quit
the main road and dashed into the wood,
expecting to make short cut and reach
the house FIRST, but Miller kept the road,
aud got in on the homestretch eight min
utes before his rival. The men were in
sight of each other going up the lane to
the house. Bibb's effort to overtake his
rival was almost superhuman. When
they reached the house, Bibb, from sheer
exhaustion, tainted in the porch, falling
almost at the feet of his lady love-
When the situation was explained to her,
she said she had come to the conclusion
that she liked Mr.. Bibb the best, and
therefore she would marry him. Her
sympathies were won over by seeing him
faint. She said she believed that both
loved her, but that he who faints at the
danger of losing a bride must love her
more than he who is cool and uncon-
cerned in the midst of it all. The Rev.
Aaron Jasper, the well.known Baptist
minister, married Mr.. Bibb and Miss
Loyd.

How TO JUDGE A HoRsE.-The ster-
eotyped methods of deciding the health,
age, staying properties, and net value Of
horse ase familiar to all intending pur'
chasers and since, in this connection,
the old adage: Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" is true one, we think, says the
Spirit of she Ihrf, there may be many of
our readers who will welcome few prac-
tical rules, and save money by employing
them:
Never take the sellers word; if dis
honest he will be certain to cheat you
if disposed to be fair, he may have been
the dupe Of another, and will deceive you
through representations which cannot be
relied upon. Gs
Never trust to a horses mouth as a
sure index to his age.
Never buy a horse while in motion ;
watch him while he stands at rest, and
you will discover his weak points. II
sound he will stand firmly and squarely
on his limbs, without moving any oi
them, the feet planted fat on the ground,
with legs plumb and naturally poised.
If one foot is thrown forward with the
toe pointing to the ground and the
weight taken from it, disease of the nav
ocular bone may be suspected, or at least
tenderness, which is precursor of dis.
ease. If the foot is thrown out, the toe
raised and the heel brought down, the
horse has suffered from lamnitis-
or the back sinews have been sprained.
and he is of little future value. When
the feet are all drawn together beneath
the horse, if there has been no disease
there is displacement of the limbs at
least, and weak disposition of the mus.
cles. If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart, or straddles with the hind
legs, there is weakness of the loins, and
the kidneys are disordered. When the
knees are bent and the legs totter and
tremble, the beast has been ruined by
heavy pulling, and will never be right
again, whatever rest and treatment he
may have. Contracted or Uniformed
hoofs speak for themselves. Never buy
horse with blush or milky cast in his
eyes. They indicate a constitutional
tendency to opthalmia, moon blindness
&c. Never have anything to do with 8
horse who keeps his ears thrown back.
ward. This is an indication of bad
temper.
If the horses hind legs are SCARED
the fact denotes that he is kicker.
If the knees are blemished, the horse
is apt to stumble.
When the skin is rough and harsh, and
does not move easily and smoothly to
the touch, the horse is heavy eater, and
his digestion is bad.
Avoid horse whose respiratory organs
are at all impaired. If the ear is placed
at the side of the heart, and wheeling
sound is heard, it is an indication o.
trouble. Let him 60.

VIM. P. Gillespie was on his death
bed at Columbus, Ind. The physician
told him that he could not live many
hours. care you sure can't get well?'
the patient asked: ~ don't want you to
make q mistake about it. Is there q pos
sibility of recovery" He was assured
that his speedy demise was absolutely
certain. Then be explained why he was
so anxious to get exact information. He
had murdered man twelve years before,
and had never been suspected OF the
crime. He desired to confess and be
forgiven, if he really was going to die,
but not otherwise. He died, and the
truth of bis statement has been amply
sustained.

The World for 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform themselves
carefully alike of the action of their party through
out the countrp and of the movements Of their Re
| publican opponents. A failure to DO this In 1875
contributed greatly to the loss by the Democracy
of the fruits Of tho victory fairly won at the polls
The year 1880 promises to be one Of the most IN,
teresilng and important years OF this crowded ana
election which may result in re-establishing the
Government Of this country on the principles OF
/ its constitutional founders, or ~ permanently
changing the relations of the States to the Federal
power. No intelligent man can regard such an
election with Indifference. The WORD, as the only
daily English newspaper published In the city oi
New York which upholds the doctrines Of consti-
tutiona Democracy will steadily represent the
Democratic party in this great canvass. 1t will do
this in no spirit OF serve partsanship, but tempe
ratey and firmly. AS newspaper the WORLD, be-
ing the organ Of no man, no clique and no 1ntereS'
will present the fullest and the fairest picture
can make of each days passing history In the city
hereafter, heretofore, at accuracy hrst Of all
things in all that 1t publishes. No man, however
humble shall ever be permitted truly to complain
that he hos been uDjusly dealt with in the columns
of the WORLD No interest, however powerful,
shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it can
silence the fair criticism Of the WORLD.
During the past year the WORLD has seen Its
daily circulation trebled and its weekly circulation
pushed far beyond that of any other weekly news
paper In the country. This great increase has been
won rs the WORLD believes, by trutffulness, en-
terprise, ceaSeess activity in collecting news and
unialterng loyalty to itself and to its readers in
dealing with the questions oil the day. 1t Is our
hope and it will be our cndeavOr that the WORLDS
record for 1850 may be written in the appreciation
and the support of many thousands more Of new
readers in all parts Of this IndissOublc Union OF
ndesructible States.

UNCLE PHIL's PRICE.-There are 8
great manyfpeople in their religion, that
remind me of "Uncle Phil" pious old
darkey of old time in Texas.
Well, Phil Was a fervent Christian
with great gift Of prayer. he attended
all the Saturday night prayer.meetings
on the neighboring plantations and could
pray louder and longer than any Of bis
brethren, But Phil had one weakness.
he dearly loved money, and different
from the negro generally, loved to hoard
it.
Near by us lived a man who, not
troubled by any scruples, would pay Phil
dollar to work in his field on Sunday,
One Sunday night Phil came home after
dark. s I:accosteds him with
"Where have you been, Phil?"
"Oh, Jest knocking about, massa."
"You have been working for Miller"
"Well, you see, massa, the old fellow
is in weed and he jest showed me sill.
YER dollar and jest couldn't stand it."
"Aint you afraid the devil will get you
for breaking the 5abbath.2"
Phil scratched his head minute.
II guess the Lord'll 'scuse me, massa.' u
mo. He said remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy"
Phil went off looking pretty sober, and
it was not long before I heard. his voice
in fervent prayer back of the barn, 80 ]
thought would slip down near enough
to hear.
ooh, Lord!" 1 heard him say, 81
have this.day ripped and feared, cussed
and sweared at them confounded oxen
of Miller's and jest broke the Sabbath
day. Oh, Lord, please forgive me; please
forgive me, for you knows Use nothing
but a miserable heather anyhow. Il
you'll jest forgive me this time I'll never
do it again as long as live. 'ceptin he
gives two dollars and balfa day."
At this point l was obliged to beat
retreat, but I am thinking that poor
Uncle Phil isn't the only two-dollar. and
a-half Christian in this world.

About him before he is cold;
If the wife, who left weeping and sorrow
Behind her, bends down from above,
And behoids the tears dried on the morrow
And the eyes newly burning with love;
