The Brldegroom's Mistake.

An amusing incident that occurred to
Rev. Frederick Baylis Allin, assistant
rector of Trinity Church, is called to
mind by the number of weddings that
have occurred during the last week. A
young couple called at his residence to
be united in marriage, and after the
ceremony had been pronounced the
groom, taking coin from his vest
pocket. handed it to Mr.. Allin and de-
parted. When they had gone Mr.. Al
lin looked at his fee and found it was
five-cent piece. He laughingly put it
in his pocket and thought no more
about it until about midnight, when the
door-bell was violently pulled, and on
descending to learn who was his noe
turnal visitor he found the bridegroom,
covered with bushes and full of apollo
gies. He explained the amusing mis-
take and rewarded the clergyman most
literally for his services. Boston Cour-

Some boys playing few days ago about
a haystack short distance from La
Crosse found man under it in horrible
condition of emaciation. Help was Sc
cured and the poor wretch extricated. He
stated that he crawled under the hay to
keep warm on the night of November II,
and the stack caved in upon him and he
was unable to extricate himself. His APP
pearance corroborated his story. He gave
his name as Christian Anderson and told
where his friends lived. The Poor-House
Commissioner ordered him taken to the
county hospital, two miles from town, and
he was started for that place, apparently
in dying condition. During the time he
was entombed (twenty-four days. he had
neither food nor water, except, perhaps,
the nutriment to be derived from dew in
hay, and was too weak to say much; only
a few disjointed fragments of his horrible
experience could be obtained from him.
Several loads of hay had been removed
from over him, but he was too weak to
make the teamsters hear him, or was I'M
conscious at such times.

Temperance Reading.
A CHzLDS QUESTION.

Twas the blessed Day made holy.
BY the birth of Him who gave US
His dear life, and meek and lowly
Died upon the cross to save us.
In bar-rOom in the city,
With much laughter and much clinking
OF their glasSes-more's the pity
Many reckless men we're drinking,
And the air was foul with smoking,
Aud it trembled with disappearing,
And with coarse and ribald Joking,
While without the sun was cleaning
On the snow-drifts dazzling whitenesS,
And the mimic rainbowS showing
That, imprisoned in the brightness
of the icicles, were glowing.
And upon the bar was seated,
Listening to the Christmas greeting
Ali around him, oft repeated
AT each treat" or friendly meeting.
A child, scarce more than baby,
With face like bud unfolding:
Sad that he should on this day be
Such dreary sight beholdingl
There he sat in patient waiting,
To his father closely clinging,
When, the noise somewhat abating,
In voice clear, sweet and ringing,
" Papa asked he, what is Chr.stmass
Tell me why they all keep sayin'
Merry Christmas!'' Merry Christmasv
Is't game that they are playin'y
As though struck, the father started.
What if she were lingering near them
She, the good and tender-hearted-
And could look upon and hear them?
How She grieve-ay, grieve in Heaven
Endless is the love of motherS)
Ger the artless question given
On that day above all Others
In that placed And close he caught him
In his arms-her boy-and thinking
Sadly of the lost, he brought him,
From the curSing and the drinking,
Out where the sun was glowing
On the SnOW-dPifty dazzling WhitnnpSS
And the mimic rainb0ws showing,
Prisoned in the icy brightness,
And he vowed, his child caressing
From that hour to mingle never
In such scenes. And, with Gods blessing,
He will keep that vow forever!

what is it hear about the trouble at the
church, They lay that foolishness to
you."
Its all a lie. They lay everything
to me. 1t was some of them ducks that
sing in the choir. was just as much
surprised as anybody when it occurred.
You see, our minister is laid up from the
effects Of the ride to the funeral, when he
tried to run over street.car, and an old
deacon, who had symptoms Of being
minister in his youth, was invited to
take the minister's place and talk a little.
He is an absent-minded old party, who
don't keep up with the events of the day,
and whoever played it on him knew that
he was too pious to even read the daily
papers. There was a notice of a choir
meeting to be read, and | think the tenor
smuggled in the other notice, between
that and the one about the weekly
prayer-meeting. Anyway it wosn't me,
but 1t like to broke up the meeting.
After the deacon read the cho;r.notice he
took up the other one, and read, Il am
requested to announce that the Y. NJ. C.
Association will give friendly enter
tainment with soft gloves, on Tuesday
eve, to which all are invited. Brother
John Sullivan, the eminent Boston re-
vivalist, will lead the exercises, assisted
by Brother Slade, the Maori missionary
from Australia. There will be no slug

the door to defray expenses Well, l
thought the people in the church would

wicked wretch had deceived him, and l

the soprano that he did it. may be
mean, but everything do is innocent,
and / wouldn't be as mean as a choir
singer for two dollars. l felt real sorry
for the old deacon, but he never knew
what he had done, and think it would
be real mean to tell him. He won't be
at the slugging match. That remark
about taking up collection settled the
deacon. I must go down to the stable
now and help grease hack. so you will
have to excuse me. If pa comes here
