W edding Marches.

New that public weddings are fashiona-
bic, the wedding march" becomes a sub
ject of considerable importance, as it is a
great addition to the marriage ceremony.
In fact, church wedding is incomplete
without it. The march written by Men
delssohn is the general favorite having
been made popular by its use at the mar
riages of the royal family and nobility of
England. 1t is part of the entr' aete
music to Shakespere's comedy of "Mid-
summer Nights Dream"
That it was intended for the orchestra
is plainly indicated by the introduction,
which is written for trumpets, and is
genuine trumpet call. The accompaniment
of long g-sustained notes in the third part is
also evidently intended for the brass and
reed instruments. However, it has been
played so often upon the pipe-organ that
il seems almost like church property rather
than the offspring of the stage. 1t is at
tempted by every church organist, and
played in all sorts of ways. Being triAe
difficult las, in fact, all of Mendelssohn's
music Isl, it is frequently executed rather
than rendered. For those not familiar
with the style Of his compositions, it would
be advisable either to give it proper study,
or else choose simpler march for we'd
ding ceremonies. There are many beau
tiful ones, which, if used, would give the
charm of variety, which is said to be the
spice Of life. The Swedish Wedding
March, by Sodesman, is very pretty, also
the Hungarian, by Karl Goldsmith
but the only important rival of the Men
delssohn March is the Bridal Chorus
from Wagner's ''Lohengrin." This, too,
was written for orchestra, but can be ef-
fectively rendered on large organ. How
ever, it is hardly probable that march
can be found which viii stand the test Of
such constant use as the Mendelssoha
March has done, and still remain SO fresh
aud enjoyable. Though not so 6ne as some
other numbers Of the Summer Nights
Dream" music (the Seherzo, Overture, and
Nocturne for instance) yet it bears
worldwide reputation, and has done more
to make the name of Mendelssohn famil-
lar With the masses than all Of his more
classical works. All honor to the Joyous
strains which have heralded the union of
so many loving and happy hearts.
As Mozart wished that his father might
live until no more tunes could be written,
so we wish that the Wedding March may
last as long rs love itself shall last, which
viii, we are sure, endow it with immor-
tality.

Apropos to this a contemporary thinks
that "the succulent cerebrum of the per-
mating biped must have been most sapena-
ceously inspirated by the precentiality of
Webster's folios, or he never could have
scraped together such sublimated cognom-
nations to designate his "Ginger Ale' and
no prolaeutor or sermesinator or providore
that ever prolated could otherwise have so
elegantly announced refocillative, thera
peutic, esculeup refrigrum. y
In conclusion permit us to say that the
art of advertising is constantly receiving
more attention from every department Of
the worlds work The numerous ways
which firms employ to obtain publicity are
daily increasing. The newspaper, how
ever, furnishes the best channel, and he
who uses a plenty of printers ink verify
hath his reward. To business men Of
every kind our advice is to advertise, ad :
vertiso extensively. In the words of re-
cent doggerel, if you wish to succeed, be
Early to bed and early to rise

Infus.aqas Millions.

Ia dark cellar Of the Julius tower at
Spandau, Prussia, lies a vast amount o!
gold coin equal to about thirty million
dollars, laid aside from Germanys gains
BY the war Of 1ST0-7l, as provision OF
bard cash wherewilk to defray the mobil-
izalion and ether preliminary expenses Of
the next campaign undertaken By the Em-
pire. This fund IS absolutely anproduc
tive, aud may be said to have cost the
German nation half lis total amount in
foregoue interest since it was FIRST lodged
in its sub,eEranesn repository. A few
days ago the annual inspection Of the
treasure By the Imperial Commissioners
took place. A specially detailed section
Of the Prussian Guard assisted the two
Commissioners in the laborious task Of
counting over the contents Of twslye hun
dred canvas bags, each containing one
hundred thousand marks, or twenty-five
thousand dollars. The massive iron door
closing the domicile of all this wealth eau
only be opened by the simultaneous action
Of kFo keys, masterpieces Of the lock
smiths art, one Of which is in the posses.
sion of either commissioner. The exact
times at which the door is unlocked aud
re!ocked, as well as every circumstance,
however minute, connected with the pro-
cess OF revision, are registered on the spot
in a protocol signed by the officials before
leaving the fortress, and attested by the
Governor in person. Daring the inspee-
tion the Tower guards are doubled; at its
conclusion the Commissioners turn their
keys in the locks at one and the same mo-
ment, are escorted to the gates Of the for
tress, and take their departure for Berlin,
leaving the infructuous millions to dark
ness and seelusion for another year.

How TO GET RID OF CANADA THIS
r1Es.-Mr. Jacob Bubb, of this place, has
been experimenting to some extent in or
der to ascertain the best way of getting
rid of Canada thistles that grow on his
farm. He has tried salt, coal oil, and
number Of other remedies, but with no
success. Some time ago he took it into
his head to try apple pomace from the
cider press, knowing by experience that
it would kill grass and other weeds. The
application was duly made and the result
was entirely satisfactory. By cutting off
the stalk Of this Questionable weed, and
placing a common shoyelful of pomace
oyer the roots, they are sure to die and
the following season you will find no trace
of the weed. Mr.. Bubb has repeatedly
tried this remedy and every effort has been
attended with entire success. 1t is upon
his authority that we give it to the public,
hoping that it may be of benefit to many
who may be bothered with the Canada
thistle. Try it.-Jersey Shore Herald.

alton, which / am anxious to describe for
the benefit of my readers. It was por-
table screen of growing ivy, so simple in
its manufacture that any one could make
it for themselves. The dimensions viii
depend upon the place it is destined to
fill. 4 long narrow box must be made
and mounted upon strong iron castors.
Then a trellis work of wire is to be fixed
to the back part Of the wooden box, the
netting being first enclosed in wooden
frame. The height Of this will be dietat-
ed by the height of the mautel or window
il is desired to fill The whole screen and
box should then be painted good dark
green, and when dry it must be filed with
very rich loan. Then put in plants of
various kinds of ivy in front of the wire
trellis work, which, as they grow, must be
trained carefully over it. In the front of
the box a selection Of quiek-growiug an
nuals can be planted, such as mignonette,
sweet alyssum, lobelias, musk plant, or
even lilies Of the valley.
If the screen is to be used in the house
to shut out disagreeable view, in the
winter it could be filed with hyaeinths,
tulips, croeuses and nareissus, and make q
pretty window garden. 1t can be placed
outside window ledge, on the staircase
or area and fastened to the ground with
large hooks; and when the ivy has become
large all the fastenings win be concealed
BY the green garlands of ivy. Screens of
this kind can always be covered with the
passion flower, the clematis or the wisteria,
or even with the Virgins ereeper, or in
deed any of those many pretty and grace
ful creeping plants every florist knows, aud
tho plants or seeds sf which are so easy
to obtain. The benefit of the ivy is, of
course, that it is always green, and never
need be shabby if properly cared for. The
leaves must be carefully sponged every
few days to keep the plants healthy in-
doors, but otherwise they need little at
