for other reasons, and are not asked
to pay for having their cars hauled.
Again, on some roads, besides the
eighteen full tickets, the occupants of
the cars are compelled to pay bridge
tolls. A few roads run over bridges
owned by corporations, for which priv

for each car.-There are few lateral
roads which only charge twelve tick

The usual special cars have greatly

MENDING THE OLD FLAG.

In the silent gloom of garnet room,
With cobwebs round ii creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
A veteran worn and sleeping.
Dinghy old, each wrinkled fold
| By the dust of years was shaded;
Wounds ofthe storm were upon its form !;
The crimson stripes were faded.
Twas mournful sight in the gray twi-
light,
This thing of humble seeming,
That once SO proud Ger the cheering
crowd,
Had carried its colors cleaning;
Stained with mold were the braids of gold
That had flashed in the sun-ray's kis-
sing;
Of faded hue with its fields of blue,
And some of the stars we're missing.
Three Northern maids and three from
glades
Where dreams of the Southland wea-
Their,
With chances kind. and their arms en-
twined.
Came up the stairs together:
They gazed awhile with a Thoughtful smile
At the crouching form before them;
With clinging holds they grasped its
folds,
And out of the darkness bore them.
They hesled its scars, they found its stars,
And brought them all together.
Three Northern maids and three from
glades
Where smiles the Southland weather
They mended away through the summer
day,
Made glad by an inspiration
To fling it high at the smiling sky
On the birthday of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the summer air.
With brisk breeze round it creeping,
Newly bright through the glistening light,
The flag went granGly sweeping;
Cleaning and bold were its braids Of gold,
And flashed in the sun-rays kissing;
Red, white and blue, were of deepest hue,
And none of the stars were missing.

STRANGE wEDDING-FEEs.

l
We knew clergyman who once
received from wealthy groomsman
bright penny, inclosed in a dozen
wrappers. He always persisted in be-
lieving that the intention was to give
him twenty-dollar gold piece. We
are not so credulous. A clergyman
who was formerly located in Hart.

married, not long ago, couple who
at once started for Europe. The
bridegroom was a man Of wealth, and
before be presented himself before
the bridal altar he placed one-hun-
dred dollar greenback in bis vest
pocket to give the parson for the mar
riage-fee, and did pay him as he sup
posed.
While crossing the ocean he dis
covered, greatly to his astonishment,
the bill in the pocket where be placed
it, and could account for its presence
there only on the theory that he must
have had another bill Of different
denomination which he had donated
to the clergyman by mistske.
On getting back to this country, he
determined to solve the mystery, and
waited upon the reverend gentleman
who did not recognize him, and in
quired If, on certain date, he did
not marry certain couple. The
clergyman remembered the occasion
perfectly.

"but l should like to be informed

the ceremony ?"
The clergyman recognized the man
as the one he had married, and said
that he would Of course crafty him as
he was so anxious to know.

say, "a very small quantity OF 6ne-cut
chewing tobacco, folded in a very
small piece of paper"
That was enough. The only thing.
remaining to be done was to apologize
for the curious blunder, laugh heart
lily, and make the one-hundred-dollar
deposit good.
An old uncle once brought his niece
to rectory, on a cold, rainy day, to
be married, and then, after the cere-
mony was over, fumbled about for
two dollar bill, and not being able to
find it, said, as he handed the parsou
five dollar bill. "Take the change
out of that for two dollar job. It's
kind o'wet and cold like to-day
and guess two dollars will be about
the thing"
Of course the amount Of mar.
riage-fee is a delicate question, which
the clergymen are generally too mod
est to determine, much more to ask;
but we never heard it disposed of SO
neatly as this.
