Loose Way of Marrying.

One of the disgraceful features of
the matrimonial enterprises of the
Marvin man, who married fifteen
wives, is that he went as a stranger
to each of the clergymen who per-
formed the marriage services. These
cleTgymen, knowing nothing about
him or the ladies he brought with
him, appears for the most part to have
sOlemnated matrimOny with the same
business dispatch that might be eX
pected of a merchant selling a ton of
coal or barrel of potatoes. This was
very careless on the part of the min
listers. .TheY.:did not know whom they
were marrying. There are some
clergymen who have an immense run
of marrying patronage. Many who
come to them to be married are
strangers whom they have never seen
before, and viii probably never see
again. The ceremony they perform is
a purely perfunctOry one. II is Sbusi-
ness" from beginning to end. The
rite performed is by virtue of the
clergyman's office. The marrying
parties come to him because it is their
business to be married and his to
marry them. The most important and
solemn transaction that can take
place in the history of two human
beings is hurried through as lightly
as if it were the entering of a couple of
names in a directory or the measuring
of two people for one suit of cloths.
This is not as it ought to be. The
clergyman who unites in marriage
persons about whom he knows nothing
takes the risk of doing a great deal of
mischief The fact that he does not
mean to help on with the mischief
makes it none the less. Some minis
ters have a loose fashion of marrying
any strangers who may happen to
come into their house and request to
be united. Some of these for aught
that is known to the contrary may
already be wife and husband to some
other victims of loose-jointed matri-
monial alliances. A case actually
happened in Brooklyn not long ago
where an apparently respectable cler-
gyman married half-druhkcn young
man and woman who came to his
house for the purpose at two O'Clock
In the morning. There seems to be in
some minds the idea that minister is
by law or by custom obliged to mar
~ any and every couple who may ask
TO be married. This is not the case.
II is entirely optional with the minis
ter. There are sOne ministers who
always positively refuse TO marry
people whom they do not know or
who are not properly introduced to
them by responsible persons. A mar
riage fee is a very paltry consideration
for performing ali act which may in
flict on some innocent and confiding
person IRE parable damage.

A Straight Man.

It used to be the fashion with lee
turers to have the Mayor of the town
or some other prominent citizen intro
duce them TO the audience as a send
off, and upon one occasion in the
years gone by when the temperance
lecturer struck a certain town in
Michigan not over fifty miles from
Detroit the Mayor stood up before the
audience and began:
Ladies and-and ladies and
and
''Gentlemen," whispered the lee
turer.

lecturer.

Here occurred another painful
pause, during which the mayor walk
ed over and asked the lecturer his
name.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.

Miss Kate Shelley, of Iowa, who
saved train from wreck in a wash
out, has been presented with a watch
/ by the railroad conductors of that
State. On the case is engraved a
picture of the scene at the bridge,
where the young woman at the risk of
her life stopped the train.
An Iowa woman exhibits a spirit of
fairness that should call forth the ad-
miration of the world. Her husband
wandered away few months since,
and she is becoming tired of the
loneliness caused by his action. Not
wishing to take any unfair advantage
of him, she advertises in her home
paper that unless he returns to her
speedily she will ask the courts for
permission to marry again.
A French writer declares that a
lady can always be distinguished by
the way she eats grapes. A lady
sucks the soul from the envelope,
with far-away gaze, and removes
the covering gently with her fingers
as 1T appears between her pearly teeth,
while the plebeian goes at the luscious
fruit like she was hungry, and blows
the skins promiscuousiy about the
room or else swallows them.
The habit so long popular of ladies
kissing each other when they meet
has almost gone out of fashion.
Leaders of society argued that the

used on the female face divine Cor

Stunned as a dire evil. The new
style is to simply touch each others
finger tips, murmur the usual con-
ventional prevarication so glad to
see yOu," and pass on.
Getting married in New York-that
is, getting married in anything like
style-costs money. A writer who
has given the matter considerable
study announces that in the city
named a wedding of l 900 guests, with
ushers and bridesmaids, exclusive of
bridal dress and trousseau, ranges
anywhere between S1,800 and $4,000.

to make the shoes, and when they

window, in very conspicuous place,

gentleman stopped and began view
ing them very attentively. Presently
he entered the store and inquired if
they were for sale. told him no,
that they were made for one of my
customers. He looked surprised, and
asked the lady's name. l would net
give him this much satisfaction, but
told him where she lived, however.

afterward that he was calling at the
