A Modern Miracle.

The Savannah News says Savan-
nah isn't very good place for tramps.
One of the travelling fraternity called
the other day at an unpretending look
ing house on Jones street. He was an
exceedingly woe-begone kind of a
specimen, and inquired of the vinegar
faced matron who met him at the door
whether he could "get bite" adding,
II am positively exhausted from hun
ger-haven't had a mouthful for so
long that I can hardly put one foot be-
fore the other"
"Could you get bite here?" replied
the lady of the house, in cheerful sort
of way. "Well, l think I might ac-
commodate you. Here, Lion p A
massive bulldog appeared in the fur
ther end of the hall, with an eager
look on his expectant face. 1t took
the tramp but two bounds to clear the
twelve steps at rate Of speed that
would have discouraged professional
pedestrian.
"Tell me the age of miracles is past"
murmured the matron, with mother
ly smile, as she slammed the door.

A Rural Wedding.

Clara Belle has been up in Vermont,
and while there attended a rural we'd
ding. After describing the incidents
of the ceremony, she proceeded as fol-
lows:
"a bountiful if not pretentious sup
per followed, and then came games,
like Copenhagen, post-office and for
feits. We city girls held off for a
while, but, seeing that our coyness was
not appreciated, we made martyrs of
ourselves, and rather liked it. 1 think
1 observed fact not generally known,
that, for the most electrical results, one
kisser should be a blonde, and the other
a brunette, representing the opposite
poles of an electric battery. Certainly
the kisses between persons of the same
complexion looked and sounded me-
chanical and perfunctiory, while those
by contrasted couples were spirited and
explosive.
However, after several hours of di-
versions largely osculatory, there went
up stairs a most thoroughly kissed
bride, her scarlet lips looking really
tired with overwork, for she had been
kissed over and over by every man and
woman in the party. She had borne
it with good humor, and no married
life was ever begun with q merrier
frolic.
"But the crowning exploit, and a
still more astonishing experience to us
city damsels, was Of the old Vermont
custom of tucking up the couple in
bed. Half an hour after they had re-
tired, we burglarized their chamber,
and turning the light of half dozen
lamps on them, we saw superior forti-
tudc. The bridegroom turned red and
white by turns, and was completely
Aabbergasted; but the bride, though
her face lay rosy enough on the snowy
pillow. was quite selfpossessed. She
had dressed herself in dainty night
dress, with shirrings over the shoulders
and on the bishop sleeves, and may
have derived courage from previous
view Of herself in the glass. Very
lovely she was, and very prettily care
full to keep herself covered just enough
but not so much as to hide the yoke Of

The inebriate Is sometimes as simple
minded and over-credulous as a child,
and, we may add, as easily puzzled.
One such, too good natured and witty
to remain sober long, was vainly try
ing to find his way home. He accosted
a passer by with, "Beg pardon, sir,
I've been having too good a time to
walk very straight. Will you be kind
enough, beg pardon, sir, to tell me
which is the other side Of the street ?"
The stranger kindly answered: "Why,
my dear fellow, | suppose il is just over
there" pointing with his finger. The
inebriate seemed to be strangely puz-
zlcd by the answer, and for a moment
was lost in profound meditation. At
last he looked into the strangers face
and said sweetly: beg pardon, sir,
that's just what i thought myself, but
I went over there about ten minutes
ago, and asked agentleman the same
question, and, beg pardon, sir, he told
me it was over here. What in the
world I'm going to do / don't know.
You see, beg pardon, sir, l live just on
the other side of the street from the
club, and I've been more than two
hours trying to find it."

She Excused Him.

When DIR. Stone was pastor of Park
Street church he resided in Brooklyn
and rejoiced in pair of spanking bays.
On one occasion the doctor had made a
bad start with prospect Of being a
little late to morning service, and as q
consequence the fast span were let out
a notch or two extra. In front of him
was the family carriage of one Of his
parishoners, a mother in Israel who
loved and revered her minister. He
shot by at 2:35 gait, and the vener-
able lady said: Doesn't that reck.
less person know that this is the Lords
day?" "Why, grandmother" said g
young man with her, "that is DIR
Stone" "Is it?" was the reply, "why
