The wedding business still continues good, from which fact some weather prophets
 predict hard winter. while others insist that
 as squirrels are not laying in a large supply
 of nuts, the coming winter will be mild and
 open. Speaking of the present matrimonial
 boom reminds us that very recent instance
 demonstrated the saw, that the course of true
 love never runs smooth-that is, hardly ever.
 In the instance in question, the groom arrayed
 himself for the marriage feast and marched
 gaily to the happy land" where he was to
 meet the bride. On his arrival he engaged
 the minister, and went to the depot when the
 train came, to meet doxie, but behold she came not Nothing daunted, he repaired again to the minister's, and fixed upon later hour for the ceremony. saying ''she will sure- ly come on the next train" Phe next train was a freight, but it brought no doxie. Another postponement. The milk train came next, then the evening passenger train, each bringing disappointment. The cere. mony was postponed sine die. Subsequently matters were fixed up, and at later day the
 'happy land" again saw his genial counte. nance beaming with an expression of deter. imitation and victory that said, tais time the bride is on hand. Then came patient search for the proper authorities to arrange the nec- essary "red tape" preliminaries, and in this search the benedict was piloted by the little son of the officiating clergyman. Coming in. to the sanctum-the little boy and the groom the boy asked for the town clerk; on be.

I should have sent creature thousand

This is only bit Of Oriental rhetoric,
a figurative way Of emphasizing the
power Of the Almighty, who can make
the smallest things the ministers OF his
wrath but in the light OF modern
science il has become literal truth.
Some of mans most powerful and per-
sistent enemies are organisms SO minute
that thousand of them would not
equal the bulk or weight of fly. The
lord Of creation, as he proudly styles
himself, is unable to cope with the most
infinitesimal Of his subjects. They re-
fuse to acknowledge his sway, and wage
perpetual warfare against him. His ut
most skill and ingenuity are taxed in
resisting and guarding against their at
tacks; and often, in spite OF all his
maneuvers, they out-general and defeat
him. No hostile force of his own race
could infiict such disaster upon him as
do these microscopic representatives Of
the lowest forms Of life. They plumber
and devastate whole provinces, bringing
ruin upon long-established and flourish
ing industries, and poverty upon large
and prosperous communities. Neither
fire nor sword is so much to be dreaded
for the injury that they may do is tran
