Once In my happy childhood days,
A mother kind knew,
Who gave her boy the rarest praise:
She called him Brave and True"
Hewas my chosen mate at play,
loved his bright young face,
His pure, high brow, that every day
ShOne with some added grace.
He was so quiet, fair and mild,
Yet had so brave an air,
The neiyhbOrs grew to love the child,
And kissed his golden nair.
Boys. love the truth and follow Il,
Our teacher often said.

Chinamen's Wives.

A Chinaman, when anxious to have a
wife of his own nation. says The North
China Herald, sends a letter to an agent
in Hong Kong. A reporter has one of
these epistles, but it is practically i'm
possible to translate it into English.
The following, however, is condensed
translations: 81 want a wife. She
must be maiden under twenty years
of age, and must not have left her faith
er's house. She must also have never
read book. and her eye-lashes must
be half an inch in length. Her teeth
must be as sparkling as the pearls of
Ceylon. Her breath must be like unto
the scents of the magnificent odor0us
groves of Java, and her attire must be
from the silken weavers of Kali
Ching. which are on the banks of the
greatest river in the world-the ever
flowing Yang-tse-Kiang." The price
of q Chinese woman. delivered in Sgd
ney, is f38, but two Chinese women
only cost f52; therefore, the heather
Chinese import the women in couples.
The importer never sees his women be-
fore they arrive, and then he generally
selects the best-looking one. The other
is shown around to q number of we'll
TODD Chinese, and, after they have in
spected her, she is submitted to what
may be called public auction. The
writer happened to be present at one of
these sales. A young girl. aged about
19. was offered. and after some spirited
bidding she was purchased by wealthy
Chinese store-keeper; whose place Of
business is in one Of the leading towns
of New South Wales, for EDO. Tho
melancholy aspect of the Celestial girl
as she went away in company with the
man who purchased her was deplorabls
to the last degree.

Marrying a Widow.

A genuine comedy in real life was
played here yesterday. Mrs. Frances
Kennedy is young widow twenty-five
wears old. Her husband died about q
year ago from a fall. Six months ago
William Cumming came counting her,
and, his attentions not being distaste-
full to the widow, she finally consented
to marry him in twelve months and q
day from the date of her first husbands
death. The happy day fell on Wednes-
day, and the ceremony was to take
place at the brides house. A magnif-
cent wedding feast was prepared, and
about eighty guests were invited to
partake Of it. The hour appointed for
the marriage was set at six p. m. In
the forenoon the bridegroom-elect ar
rayed himself in his best and went off
to invite few friends in the country,
who had been forgotten. The after
noon mail brought postal card from
him stating that he had conscientious
scruples about marrying a woman SO
recently widowed. He would make it
o matter of prayer. and would abide the
result of his feelings when through.
She was not to take this as a positive
declination to marry, but if he did not
arrive at six o'clock p. m. she might
consider the marriage off. Mrs. Ken
nedy did not faint or go into Mysteries.
but she decked herself in her bridal
robes and smilingly received the guests
hidden to the feast. When the minis
ter and all those with wedding gar.
ments had arrived the lady called the
meeting to order and read the recreant
Cummings card. Loud and prolonged
were the denunciatiOns of the absent
groom's conduct.
'sThis need not prevent the FEAST
said Mrs. Kennedy, and the guests fell
to banqueting Immediately. After sup
per the room was cleared for dancing,
and Mr.. Washington Williams, an
elderly bachelor, led the german with
the bride. He became so enamored of
her that within an hour he proposed,
and was accepted. The minister was re-
called and at eleven p. m. Mrs. Kennedy
was made Mrs. Washington Williams.
The marriage had scarcely been per-
formed when the door-bell was rung
violently, and in stalked the conscien-
tious Cumming. He had wrestled in
prayer with the question, and had con-
cluded to come back and marry. After
being introduced to Mrs. Williams it
was gently intimated to the broken-up
Cumming that the lateness of the hour
suggested the propriety of his going

and ferocious were the wolves that. as
one after another received a death
stroke from the old musket. they
bounced upon their fallen comrade and
proceeded to devour him. At this
juncture the farmer would rush in with
his gun and kill another. hauling one or
both of the dead bodies back to the
tree near which the fight took place.
He did this, he afterward said, to save
their carcasses, as there is a bounty of
S11 on each wolf killed in Waupaca
County. After the half hour skirmish
the seven wolves lay dead at the farm
er's feet.
