Ill Luck at u Wedding.

Ner YORK. Letter in SDrinafeM Republcmt
What women, who are apt tu be supersti-
tious in what concerns their affections, would
call an ominous wedding, occurred here the
other day. Elaborate preparations were
made for ii; the spacious drawing-room was
gaily decorated, and flowers, laces and dia-
monds we're superabundant. Several hun
dred persons were invited, and when they
had assembled the bride was absent. Rumors
arose that she had at the last moment with
drawn from the contract, and the expectation
Of dramatic denouement lent new interest
to the scene. But the rumors proved base
less. The bride was missing because she had
been taken seriously Ill while dressing, and
her determination to complete her toilet
resulted in dead swoon. A physician was
Immediately summoned, and he declared
that II she persisted In descending TO the

for the consequences. The upshot was that
the ceremony was performed while she lay
In bed, in the presence of her parents,
brothers and sisters; her remoter relatives,
friends and all the guests remaining below.
The clergyman who was TO tie the nuptiaI
knot was prevented from doing so by a vio-
lent attack Of rheumatism, and another had
to be summoned. Afterward tho bridegroom
wen. down stairs, and for several hours re-
ceivea expressions Of coincidence Instead of
congr a;ulations. His position, under the

POETRY
FAME.
BY II. W. EMERSON.

All, fate, cannot a man
BE wise without beard?
From east to west, from Beersheba TO Dai
Say, Was IL never heard
That wisdom might in youth be gotten,
Or wit be ripe before twas rotten?
He pays too high pnce
For knowledge and for fame
Who gives his sinews TO be wise,
His teeth and bones to buy name.
And crawls through life paralytic
To earn the praise of bard and critic.
Is II not better done
To dine and sleep through forty years,
Be loved by few, be feared by none,
Laugh life away, have wine for tears,
And take the mortal leap undaunted,
Content that all we ask was granted?
But fate will not permit
The seed of gods TO die,
Nor suffer sense TO win from wit
Its guerdeon in the sky;
Nor let us hide, whate'er our pleasure,
The worlds light underneath a measure
Go, then, sad youth, and shine.
Go, sacrifice to fame,
Put love, joy, health upon the shrine,
And life to fan the flame!
Thy hapless self for praises barter,
And die TO fame an honored martyr.

JUST so.

What the South needs is more
plows and more hoes and fewer shot
guns and reviewers. Ii the census
statistics do not show larger pros
portion of the latter and smaller
proportion Of the former than exists
in any civilized land it is because
enumerstors did not get at the facts.
Chicago Inter Ocean,
The seven millions of bales Of
cotton, half million hogshesds OF su-
gar, large crops Of tobacco and rice,
raised by the South last year, be-
sides nearly grain enough for its
owo population, afford sufficient
proof of The liberal use OF piows and
hoes. No other section Of the coun>
try can show such magnificent egg
ricultu-sl production, or at least one
requiring So much labor. As to the
shotguns and revoIvers of the south
they are at least more manly than
the ssnd bags that lately caused a
reiga Of terror in Chicogo; and they
are more honorable weapons than
the poisons and the burglars tools
SO commonly resorted to at the

weep to day over bis death and bless
his memory, All Georgia bows in
reverence to the decree of God, yet
lamenting the death of so great a
man, whose heart was full of love
and kindness for bis people and
government. But there comes a
time when all must die, and Mr..
Stephens had lived a complete life,

THE RUIN.

Though the Western rivers are
now falling, the deeolation and ruin
which their floods left in number
Of places make a sad record of their
destructive power In Shswuetown
lllinoise, four blocks of dwellings
entirely disappeared. The Presby
terrain church hoated away a mile
Several mills and business houses
are entirely gone. The villages of
Black burn aud Rsleigh, Ky. have
9th been nearly wiped out Near
ly all the houses in these places are
gone. At Columbus, Ky, over ten
feet of water lie spread over the town
and fills nearly all the stores. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
gives a detailed estimate of the loss
es in one half the overlooked district
10 that city, which makes them
$500, 600. Double this for the
whole inundated arear, and the to-
tai loss is 81 100000 If this esti-
mate be correct, the Courier-Jou
nal thinks the entire losses along the
Ohio and Lower Mississippi will
probably reach Sl0,O0U,000.

THE ROMANCE OF MR.. STEPHENS
TTPE

The romance 10 the early years
of the '40s Mr.. Stephens, then a
young man, paid visit to the home
of Mr.. Darden, 10 Warren county.
There he met q haired, blues
eyed girl of sixteen, beautiful 10
face aud lovely 10 character pi
quaint, witty, and gifted with mind
rarely cultivated. An attachment
grew up, which for years did not
pass the formal bounds of friendship
bat which was sacredly cherished by
both. The boy lover was poor in
this worlds goods fragile in frame
and harrassed by sickness, he did
not dare to a1pire to the hand Of one
whom he had learned to love and yet
forebore to claim. With womanly
devotion the young girl read the SO
cret 10 the young mans eyes, and
true to her heart she could only
wait and love.
One evening in 1849 party was
given at the residence of Mr.. Little
10 Crawfordvile There the two
met once more there they enjoyed
that sweet communication born of
perfect trust and there Mr.. Steph
ems found courage to speak the
words which for years had fought
for expression, until at last he could
no longer contain them.
