Avocations in Heaven.

Just what the ransomed who are to
have rooms in "my Fathers house"
and to walk the golden streets of the
New Jerusalem, are to do-iust what
avocations they are TO follows
something that mundane jewellers have
been in exceeding great doubt about
heretofore. But all doubts may he set
at rest now, for DIR. Talmage says it is
perfectly easy to know what people
are going to do in the other world.
He doesn't tell us how he found il out,
but then Mr.. Talmage makes great
many assertions which have like
obscure authority. He says that the
mathematician will work away with
his spiritual slate and pencil just the
same as here and the astronomer will
study the stars, out without tele-
scope, as he can make personal excur-
sions from one to the other, and that
this rapid transit will probably keep
him busy as long as he is interested
in the subject; that the painter will
have a good time examining tie coiors
Of the rainbow and watching the tints
of the sunset Of different solar sys-
TENS, while the musician will have a
patent harp to play on and can get up
choruses to which that of the May
festival was only a bagatelle.
All this sounds pretty well, bat An
irreverent cuss, after expressing the
conviction that DR.. Talmage doesn't
know what he is talking about, asks
the question: "If We are to pursue
our present avocations in the other
world what is the butcher, the baker
and the candlestick maker" to do ?
What is the professional beggar and
the dealer in ready made clothing to
do? Worse than all, what is the
preacher-ves. what is DIR. Talmage
himself to do? His business is osten-
sibly to save sinners. and if he is to
continue the work where will he build
his tabernacle 1t can't be that he in
tends to leave the serene bliss Of heav.
en- and 90 down to-well, anywhere
sinners are to be found. Oh, no, we
can't think Of DIR. Talmage as even a
temporary resident of the wrong re-
gion, even for missionary purposes,
and We can scarcely think of heaven
as much of a place without the doc:
tor; but when be gets there what will
he do?"

Oscar Wilde Paralyzed by q Train

A man who was on the same train
with Oscar Wilde coming from Reno
to Ogden relates an amusing expert
ence. Wilde was lounging back in
his seat, dreaming of the asphodel,

by punching him in the side and
shouting:

The poet started up to a sitting po-
sition, with: Great Gurod Is it

"Three tor two bits" continued the
boy.
He offered the poet some copies Of
the Seaside library edition in paper
covers.

her absence.
There has been considerable money
raised for the purpose of building new
college, and We are sure not before it is
needed. The old building has always been
dangerous, and especially in storm.
Pilot Grove has an excellent school,
one second to none in Central Missouri,
and one her people feel proud OF, but her
faithful and energetic teachers have labor
ed under many disadvantages, having very
poor buildings; but her worthy people are
getting reused on the school question, and
we hope will not cease until handsome,
commodious building is erected.
A severe storm visited our quiet and
thriving little town last Saturday morn
ing, June 18th, at o'clock, doing consid-
able damage to the college building, and
unroofed the dwelling house of George NJ.

The Old Folks Looking.

They were married yesterday, and there
is a sort of merry twinkle in the eyes OF
the young people, because the old folks
were out-witted.
They secured their license on Saturday
last. and Yesterday Scott Hooker, with a
carriage, went to the residence of Newt.
Douglass, in the southwestern part Of the
CITY. Miss Mollie was ready and they
drove hastily down to Judge Webber's res
idence on Fourth street and were married
in short order.
1t is said the old folks objected. The
authority for this assertion is very good,
1t is too late to make trouble now, and
they had better look upon the wedding as
a good match and let all be happy. 1t is
rumored that the couple have gone to
Texas.
The BAzoo extends congratulations to
the Young bride and groom, and II trusts
tn al their honeymoon may last always.

Another Tale of Two Cities.

The following very romantic story
of local interest is told by the Albany
IN. Y.,) Argus:
When Nellie Ostrum and Frank
Belden of Pitts6eld, Mass, were court
ing they found time to talk about the
love stories in the magazines, but they
did not think that before another sum-
mer they would figure in a real love
story, with broken vows, scalding
tears. revenge and that sort of thing
peppering the romance from begin
ming to end. 1t was the young Bel.
den's fault. The wedding day having
been fixed about six months ahead,
Miss Nellie went with her parents to
visit relatives in Missouri. During
the few weeks succeeding his sweet
hearts departure Belden did his whole
duty. He gave up his cigarette, and
the money he was saving astonished
the whole bank into which it found
its way. Then, as the local paper ex.
plains, on the sunshine of his love
there came lowering cloud. In other
words, Belden began to pay attention
to another girl. Miss Nellie's Pitts
field friends lost no time in telling
Miss Nellie all about it by post, and
| in post-haste, and what Belden men
toned as "a scorcher" came in the re

for the new girl into such a fame that

whether the Tilted girl wept such ar

affair fails to set forth. But in due

The BrOken-hearted.

Geo. d. Prentice was, perhaps, lie
known as wit. punster and political
writer, but from his facile pen flows
also the sentimental and the beauti.
full. The following description has
lost none of its freshness and beauty:
About two years ago | took up
my residence for a few weeks in a
country village in the eastern part of

lady, and apparently about II years of
age. She had lost the idol of her
hearts purest love, and the shadows
of deep and holy memories were rest.

brow.
81 first met her in the presence of
the mirthful. She was indeed a
creature to be admired; her brow
was garlanded with the young years
sweetest flowers, and her sunny tress-
es were hanging beautiful and low up
on her bosom, and she moved through
the crowd with such a floating. un-
earthly grace, that the bewildered
gazer looked almost to see her fade
away into the air like the creation of a
pleasant dream. She smiled, but there
was something in her smile which told
me its mournful beauty was but the
reflection of a tear: but her eyelids
pressed heavily down as if struggling
to repress the tide of agony that was
bursting mp from her hearts secret
urn. She looked as if she could have
left the scene of festivity and gone out
beneath the quiet stars and laid her
forehead down upon the fresh, green
earth and poured out her heart-strick-
en- soul, gush after gush, till it mingled
with the eternal fountain Of purity
and life.
Il have lately heard that the young
lady of whom / have spoken is dead.
The close Of her life was as calmas the
falling of quiet stream. gentle as the
signing Of the breeze that fingers fol

and then dies for very sweetness.
