What the Women Say at Weddings

The following remarks have mostly been
said time after time at all our "tony" we'd
dings, and will be said again and again on
every such occasion:
Here she comes!
Pretty, isn't She
Who made her dressY
Is il Surnh silk or satlng
Is her veil real lace
She's as white as the wall
Wonder how much he's worth
Did he give her those dlamondsY
He's scared 10 death
Isn't she the cool piece
That trains horrid shapel
Isn't her mother dowdy2
Aren't the bridesmaids homelyY
That's handsome usherl
Hasn't she cute little handY
Wonder what number her gloves areY
They say her shoes are five.
If his hair isn't parted in the middle
Wonder what on earth she married him
f0rY
For his money, OF course
Isn't he handsomeY
Hes rs homely rs Il hedgehog
lie looks like circus clown
No, he's like dancing-mastcr
Good enough for her, anyway
She was alwaysla stnck-np thing
She'll be worse than ever, nowl
She Tilted Sam Somebody, didn't sheY
No, he never asked her
He's left town, anyway.
There, the ceremony has begun.
isn't he awkward?
White as his collar
Why don't they hurry up?
Did she say she would "obeyY"
What precious fool
There, they are married
Doesn't she look happy
Pity II she wouldn't

What Il handsome couple!
She was always a sweet little thing.
How gracefully she walks
Dear me, what airs she puts on
Wouldn't be in her place for farm
III bet those jewels were hired
Well, she's off her fathers hands al last
Doesn't she cling tightly to him, though
She has mortgage on him now.
Hope they'll BIC happy.
They say she's awful smart.
Too smart for him by aiuglu
There, they are getting In the carriage
That magnificent dress will be sqllashed
The way she does look at him

A G0nspfratOrS Memorandum b00k.
LONDON, August 1st-It is stated that the
police are very reticent with regard to the
memorandum book found in possession Of
McGrath. one of the men indicted for at
tempting to blow up the Liverpool Town
Hall; but it is believed that the book con-
tains series of memoranda relating to steam
ers and articles to come by them from Amer
ica and in view of the discoveries of Internal
machines, it is inferred that the information
which the Home Secretary obtained of the
expected arrival of such machines was actu-
ally obtained from the perusal of McGrath' s
memorandum book.

LONDON, August 1st.--A Times Calcutta

cause is lost in Southern Afghanistan. The
chances are that this week will see Ayoob
Khan in full march on Cabul The Ameer
may succeed in holding his own in Afghan
Hurkistan. The end of this civil war may
see Afghanistan split into two Kingdoms.
Ayoob Khan being master of Cabul, Canda-
har and Herat, and Abdurrahman Khan
reigning in Balkh and Badakshaul. Should
this occur the British Government will have
to face serious problem. Abdurrahman
separated from us by a victorious rival can
hardly fail to sink to the same position as the
Kahns of Bakhara and Khiva and become a
tributary of Russia, which will thus prob
ably advance the Russian frontier to Hin
dukush, while the remainder Of Afghanistan
will belong to our avowed enemy That
England cannot afford to allow events to
arrange themselves in this manner is, I be-
lieve, the unanimous opinion of the people
in this country. and it is matter of general
remark that the folly of withdrawal from
Candahar and the hastily patched-up settle
ment made at Cabul last year has already
become manifest.

IN MEMORY OF JAMES t. FIELD


Until we meet again That is the meaning
o. the familiar words, that men repeat
At parting in the street.
All, yes, till then but when death intervening
Rends US asunder, with what ceaseless pain
We wait Tor the Again
The friends who leave US do not feel the sorrow
OF parting, as we feel it. who must stay
Lamentng, day by day,
And knowing, when we wake upon the morrow,
We shall not find in its accustomed place
The one beloved face.
1t were a double grief, ii the departed,
Being released from earth, should still retain
sense of earthly pain;
1t were q double grief, if the true hearted,
Who loved us here, should on the future shore
Remember us no more.
Believing, in the midst Of our Affections,
That death il beginning, Eot an end,
We cry to them, and send
Farewells, that better might be called pred ciions
Being foreshadowings of the future thrown
Into the vast Unknown.
Faith overeaps the confines of our reason,
And if by faith, as in old times was said,
Women received their dead
Raised up TO life, then only for a season
Our partings are, nor shall we wait in vain
Until we meet again.

KIssING.-The old style of kissing,
which sounds like some one tearing clap.
board off smoke house, is now considered
bad taste and consequently going out Of
fashion, although the majority of girls
admit that science has cruelty destroyed all
the comfort of long, lingering, heart
thrilling kiss, and this fact causes them to
express no little regret. The improved
scientific method of kissing is to throw the
right arm languidly around the fair ones
shoulder, tilt her chin up with the left
hand until her face is pointed at an angle
of forty-five degrees-or rather until it has
an aspect resembling the bowsprit of a
clipper-built sloop. Then stoop softly and
Craze about her lips in quiet, sudden sort
OF a way, tickle her nose with your mus
tache until she cries Touch = This is
scientific kissing; but there is no consola-
ton in it-nothing to make man feel as
if couple of galvanic butterflies were
gal0ping along his spinal column. 1t is
at-lukewarm it lacks substance, and,
if not stale, it is at least Improbable.

LOVE AND REVENGE.

A correspondent in Texas furnishes the
following sad story In one corner of the
palace coach sat woman, young and
beautiful but with settled look of de.
spair upon her face and cold, hard, cruel
glitter in her eyes. She was richly and
tastefully attired, and about her was that
indiscribable atmosphere which breathed
of superior education and refined, cult
waited habits and tastes. As was easy to
be seen she had history. A gentleman,
Sheriff of Texas county, related briefly
her story. As had been surmised, the lady
had been brought up under the best in
fiuences that great wealth and high social
standing could command. She had been
blessed with every educational advantage,
having graduated at Vassar and spent some
time in travel through European countries.
While in tie Netherlands her heart and
the promise of her hand were won by a
handsome titled scapegrace. This was two
years ago. When she returned to this
country her lover followed after in the
course of few months. But meanwhile
the girls father had died, and his vast for.
tune had been swallowed up in wild cat
speculations, SO that the foreigner found
his promised bride penniless. Like most
of his kind, he broke off the engagement,
and set about seeking desirable alliance
else where. He found it in the person
OF young lady living in the same Texas
town as the girl he had come to marry.
He pressed his suit, and the two were mar
ried and Immediately set out for Europe.
The rejected girl found means to follow
them slowly but surely. After months Of
patient and persistent effort she came upon
them in a remote German town. The first
intimation the scoun6rel had of her was
the sharp, sudden crack of pistol that
sent ball pitilessly through his false and
craven heart. OF course she was arrested,
and then followed weeks of trial and tor
ture. Finally she was declared insane,
and the authorities placed her in mad
house. Meanwhile wealthy relative,
moved by mothers tears, followed her,
and, finding her, secured her release, and
now she was on her way back to her far
away, desolate Texas home. Her relative
was aboard the train asleep. and the officer
was watching that she did not do herself
harm-almost superhuous, needless pre-.
caution, for she was chained to the seat
upon which she sat. Underneath the
silken robes could be seen now and then
the cold metallic glitter of the handouts
upon her wrists and links Of the small
but strong chain which held her.
