The Age of Miracles.
Burlington Hawkeye.

DO we believe in miracles" Alon-
20? Well, we should preach. When
a man can sit down in a New York
restaurant and have brook trout,
spring chicken, venison steak and
seed bird served off the same old
soup bone, we are ready to take in
any miracle you ever saw in print
Believe in miracles? When the
American farmer can put quart of
strawberries in box that won't hold
a pint of sand when almost any coal
dealer can make seventeen hundred
weigh a ton; when a common-look-
ing clerk can measure a whole yard
at one sweep of a thirty-three inch
stick; when ten pound block of ice
looks small alongside four ounce
hailstone when any barkeeper turns
whisky into water before he opens up
in the morning when you can put
out fire with illuminating oil when
you can find miraculous draught OF
fishes in the blue milk when COM
mittee of woman at church fair can
make barrel of soup with one cove
oyster; when-do we believe in mir
acles, doubling Alonzo? 1t is an age
OF miracles. The world is full Of
miracles, or overrun with rascals
You may accept either interpreta'

Too Much for Him.
Richmond Wing.

A Singular spectacle took place in
adjoining county about ten days ago
during a marriage ceremony. In the
very midst of the service the preach
er stopped short. His agitation had
been noticed from the first. His
voice, which had been shanky, now
Gave way intirely. He tried to speak,
but could not; his face was deadly
bale. He trembled visibly and finally
swooned, and would have fallen to
the floor but for the supporting arms
around him. The marriage being of
a strictly private character, there
were but few who witnessed the re-
markable scene. This took place at
6 clock. The ceremony was deferred
until the minister recovered, which
happened about 9 o'clock, when the
anxious pair were united. The sin
gular circumstance attending the
marriage has been, his swoon and
failure to comeplete the ceremony are
variously accounted for. There
are not wanting some who trace g
relation between this impressive
scene and the fast that the bride
was former sweet-he (anc
fancee, it is thoughD of the ministel
who had been called upon to unite
her to another man. The ministel
is still bachelor.
