JUST the rarsst pair o babies that mortal
And we love 'em as tbs bees
Love the blossoms of the trees
As they loll upon the bosom of the breeze
One has got her mothers eyes,
Blue and tender as the skies,
With the same clear snlile Of patience even

And the rounded cheek and chin
That the dimples nestle 10,

Might Take the Croup.

Several months ago Mrs. La Bubble
died, and since that tins La Bubble has
been paying attentions to old Miss Vince
ger, a rich old maid Of Cleveland.
81 do.wish that you would bring your
little girl to see me the next time Jon
come, :" requested Miss Wheezer, the
other night, when La Bubble was taking
his leave. ~. q ..i...-..a. als 4 ... :
"I will be reioiced, but she is such a
little romp that I am afraid you will be
tired of the visit " T -- f
"Oh, no." answered Miss Wheeler,
with sudden unbending of frame char
acteristic of heave, Il can never grow
tired of visit which involves your own
presence"
"Thank you. Good night" and after
lingering one moment more to squeeze a
prudish hand, La Bubble left, and, as
the young novelists say, strobe down the
street f ...s.....
Next evening La Bubble and his little
girl called. Miss Wheeler pressed the
child to her-well, say bosom-and COW
cred the little upturnea face with kisses.
Releasing herself, the child ran to her
father, and, leaving him, went on mis-
cellaneous excursion around the room.
Chow did you like EndymiOn, Miss
Wheezer?" .ulH - 1il
ooh, splendid and do you know the
work should endear itself to all women,
in that it places our sex so high in politi-
cal influence.
''We had eggs and chicken for break
fast when my ma died, - exclaimed the
little girl. ..+ ..,.-.. .-f
"Beaconsfeld well knew the influence
of woman said La Bubble, sending
reproachful glanee1at his daughter. g /

"My pa took my mas clothes to
place where there is three great big gold
balls, bigger than could lift, and"
"But do you think, remarked Miss
Wheeler, g that in vivid portrayal Rndy-
mion is quite equal to Vivian Gray
"There is the Same Outcropping OF
almost insatiate ambition, but"
some day. began the child, zone
" AS 1 was saying, the same ambitious
outcropping ....-s....

"Hush, Lena, said La Bubble with
poorly counterfeited tenderness, Hush,
you are not well. / don't know what's
the matter with that child. a5f-
"Croup, probably" suggested Miss
Wheezer.

or leaves the church. I would prevent

Maud, these people shall not enjoy the infa-
nous triumph of making you unhappy upon
your wedding day. will take your car

ately. We shall reach the chur h in fire
minutes" E0v~0 81 0C
'You will find al ready, said The Gen
eFal. 81 have seen and spoken to the
clergyman, and all is arranged"
At twenty-five minutes before eleven, Mr..
Ovington and his daughter assembled the
steps of the church. The General had taken
q hanson cab and had arrived before them
The clergyman was waiting to perform the
ceremony. The brides father aud the sex
ton were the only witnesses of this strange,
hurried wedding
The day was dark and gloomy, and there
seemed something oninous of evil to come
in this hurried ceremony. Out Of place IN
the almost empty church appeared the
brides magnificent costume. ..,..-r.
1t wanted five minutes to eleven when the
service was completed and the General gave
his arm to the bride to conduct her to the
carriage in waiting. As they left the church,
the eqHipages of the guests who were to
have assisted at the wedding began to ar
rive, and elegantly dressed women and aris-
tocratie men aIighted before the steps Of the
sacred edifce. It was Mr.. Ovingtons task
to explain to these guests that there had
been mistake in the hour for the ceremony.
As the bride and groom descended the
steps, Mr.. James Dalton met them. He
bowed low as he approached the bride and
stood aside, hat in hand, while she passed
him.
'.Let me be the FIRST to offer my congratu-
lations to Mrs. CRANKY Dumont," he said,
courteously.
s.And let me be the second" said the
voice of one of the persons in the front row
of the crowd which had already assembled
about the steps of the church.
The person who spoke was woman
dressed in the deepest mourning that can be
worn in memory of q very near relation.
The bride turned at the sound of this voice
and looked scrutinizngly at the person who
had spoken, but the wOman's face was COM
pletely concealed by double veil of black
Grape.
The guests re-entered their carriages and
followed the equipage of the bride and bride
groom 70 MI. OVlnBJOn nanslon. lHd
nifcent wedding breakfast awaited them in
the large dining-room, but the party was
small, and the long table looked dreary in
its splendor under the cold light of the De-
cember day.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon,
Mrs. Dumont assembled to her own apart
ments to change her brilliant bridal costume
for one more subdued. Soon after the
guests left.
The newly-married couple were to spend
their honeymoon with the flther of the
bride, at his urgent request, and were not to
leave the city for some time.

North Queen ST., this city, has been
gradually building up trade that at

He endeavors to keep the Furniture
that suits the purchasers, both in quail

for any article in his line, he guaran
tees the same for twelve months. Mr..
S. is now in the Eastern market, lay.
ing in a full stock for the Spring trade,

offer extra inducements to those in
want of furniture. He also takes this
opportunity to return thanks to the

for the patronage he has received, and
respectfully asks u continuance of the
same. Be sure to see his grand display

On the 18th inst, near Martins
burg, Mrs. RosANNA MERCHANT,
aged 81 years and 10 months. The
deceased had been in declining health
for more than year. She was a
worthy member of the Lutheran
Church of this city for many years
and adorned the profession of her
faith by an humble walk and godly
life. Her faith in God was very
strong and she never ceased to pray
for the Church of her Lord and Mas
Ter Jesus Christ. She passed from
earth honored and loved by all her
friends and neighbors, and has en-
tered the beautiful city of God,
where the weary are at rest and
Ghe wicked cease from troubling"
@tAnd there shall be no night there;
and theyi need no candle, neither
Light of the sun; for the Lord God
giveth them; and they shall reign
forever and ever" M. l.. G.
