Two rather singular weddings oc~
Cured at Sunny Side last Saturday.
Miss Waldroup, daughter Of Aaron
Waldroup, was wooed and won by
John Miles, but her parents opposed
the match. So, about 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon, she slipped out into the
road and was met by Miles, and they
we're married there, within few rods
o. the house, the Rev. j. H. Elder
officiating. As if the example we're
contagious, later in the evening BeDja-
min Bell was married to a daughter
Of Thomas Reeves, in the same neigh
borhoOd 10 the same way, though in
this case there was no objection offered
to the young man. May the two
couples find the matrimonial highway
broad and smooth and pleasant t
travel.

The Albany Argus says: 1.-THE tele
graph infinitely describes the ARRAY at
Petersburg at the polls, in which
Senator Malone aud his son turbu-
lently figured. They drew pistols and
apparently sought TO make q pretext
for throwing out the vote Of the pre-.
cinot. They owe their life to the self
control which the Democrats menaced
by them exhibited. The Mahones do
not lack courage. That is not sus-
pected, but that they do lack Judgment
their antics around their polling place
clearly prove. Had they persisted by
tho violence which they invoked, they
would only have been themselves to
blame, but their destruction would
have been Everywhere misrepresented
for partisan effect. The incident had
a much better treatment. The Dem
ooratic Legislature Just elected il
Virginia will hold for two years. L
will have the election of successor
to Senator Malone, and that adven
turer will only have to his motley
record q single term in the Senate
--latest advices show that the Demo
cratic victory is larger in Virgins
than at first reported. 1t has the ap
probation Of good men in both parties
and is recognized as the severest 70
J Duke possible to be administered I
the Arthur administration.

rally those who hold stocks in our

turn their minds inquringly in the
direction Of Madison street. Our

OF business, but competition has been
close and the profits accruing for the

have not been large. However, it is
expected that all the banks have en-.
joyed a sufficiently prosperous season
TO be able to declare their customary
semi-annual dividends, and several
manufacturing enterprises are in like

panies have had plenty Of business
during the past six months, but fire
losses among local companies alone
have not been much, ii
any below $4,000, aud it is more
than probable that no dividends will
be made to shareholders until q more
auspicious season. 1t is very certain
that several Of the strongest compa-
MES will make no dividends, and ss
before stated perhaps all will act like
wise. The bonds Of various corpora
tons will however surely be promptly

very considerable, though perhapl less

Our Idle Treasures.

Martin Luther's biographer tells
many Il story of his liberality of his
fear lest he should harbor the sin of
covetOusness of large gifts that left
little behind and among them, this
he was applied to on one occasion for
Il contribution to some charitable un-
dertaking, but, upon consulting with
his wife, found himself bare of even
the smallest sum that could be given
away: going to drawer where lay
his beautiful gold medal of Joachim,
given him by the Elector himself, he
cried: "What art thou doing there,
Joachim Dost thou not see how idle
thou art? Come out, and make thy
self useful - and seizing the medal, he
gave it as his contribution to the OBJ
iect in question.
Is there not in our possession some
idle Joachim that might come out and
90 to work ?
| know family from which has
been taken by death, in quick success
sion, several grown sons and daugh-
tiers. Their books and clothes are
locked away in chests and drawers, fol
the moth and rust, because those who
body else touching what was once used
by the beloved dead. And yet those
things might be doing good some
where.
A bright young girl, whose rar,
musical talent was the pleasure of al
her friends, was, years ago, plunged
into sudden grief, and in her passion
ate sorrow refused to touch her piano
or organ, saying that she could never
open them again. Years passed, dur.
ing which her sweet gift was unused
but there came a time when Gods
spirit touched her with a desire fol
more entire cOnsecration, and out came
this idle Joachim, making her once
more IA song-bird, who neve
sighted an opportunity TO please o
profit young and old.
There lives to-day, in part of th'
country where books are comparative
ly scarce, a dear invalid whose librar.
contains several thousand volumes
There is not an idle Joachim anon,
them By mail, and by express, ant
by private messenger, they go forth
and if they come back the worse 70
wear, she submits cheerfully, becaus
of what they have accomplished.
Let us search our homes, and Ou
unused hours, and our several aptitude
for this or that kind of work, and cal
forth to glad service these idl
JOachims.

No Poetry in Margins.

There is no poetry in the failure of
E. c. Stedman, whose pleasant rhymes
have entertained many readers. He
was a stock broker as well as poet, and
he took his son in as partner "a
clever young man-but the bulls and
bears took him in, too, and 'did for
him" for good. In the fathers absence
the son went in on "margins" at a
heavy rate, and the old bulls said,
"Here comes lamb" the grizzlies
snuffed the breeze and said, eve smell
lamb" They danced around and in
vited him and he went in on the mar
gins. Oh, those margins They have
destroyed more little lambs than the
shepherds ever tended upon a hundred
hills. SO the son of the poet went un-
der Il list of margins, and his father was
puHed down, too. They are both
clever, both mean well, are fair minded
brokers, we presume, though Cecil,
Ward Il Co. say the young man carried
off securities which belonged to them.
There is no poetry in stock specula-
tiOns, none in margins; and about the
only prose there is comes from the
Goulds, Sages, Wizards, Keenes and
Mills. In short sentences, "COme in
to my parlor," says the bear to the
lamb. and when the lamb comes ont
his fleece is gone and he is "bare"
lamb. The poet fails on liabilities of
Sl25 900. In these sad facts Mr. Sted-
man finds "mOre truth than poetry" :"

Responsibility.

The wave that dashes against the
shore is pushed by following waves,
and so endless succession from shore
to shore. The race pushes forward,
generation following generation, break
ing and dying away on the shore of
time. Our children sin because we
their fathers sin. o mothers, fathers,
we share the guilt of our children
They would do better were we better.
The sheet of ice on Greenland's noun
tain is pushed forward and down by
the weight behind it till it breaks off
into the ocean. The words and deeds
which we leave may be a power to in
vite our children's children into sin,
until they are forever lost on that
ocean, the limits of whose shores the
human mind knows not. But we need
not draw on the distant centuries to
find examples of our responsibility for
others sin in our failing to interfere to
prevent sin. To-day wickedness riots
in consequence of our silence or our in
action. To-day filling public stations
are bad men, because we fail to vote
To-day are lives sad, because we fail
to speak. To-day wrong and evil are
pow llhl4 DttdliSt VIC lOl'l Alit manu-
and close the lip. The tempted are
yielding, because we stand 10y the
tempter. The pure are tried because
we offer no sympathy. Lives tender
are broken, because we stay not the
destroyer. Lives are lonely, because
we show no friendship. "It's none o
my business" we say, che is his Owl
man" 1t is your business to keep mel
strong and noble. The Lighthouse
keeper who fails to hangs out his lamI
is directly responsible for the human
lives that lie the next morning on th'
beach with seaweed tangled in thei
hair. But the fisherman who, know
ing there is ship near the shore
| places not even a candle in the window
of his cottage, is also guilty of thei
death. Men are going wrong; mel
are going down you do not go will
them you do not push them down
