emoluments, to which a delighted public is
charmed to contribute, is salary, an income,
but wages-never. Base ball is high art and its
followers gentlemen of elegant leisure.

so that no thrilling developments may be looked

the fact that Rev. Talmageis too much of an au-

ism developed in the appointment of his relatives
to the important positions of cashier of the infant
class, treasurer of the school, chief floor walker

Nuptial Fancies.

Marriages take place at all kinds of
places-from caprice, love of notoriety,
and sometimes from untoward circum-
stances. Recently couple were united
in railroad car; the stage coach has
furnished the place where the bridal
VOWS have been spoken; people have
been married on horseback, In towers,
and bathrooms. The writer once par
ticipated in wedding Old the PIAZZA Of
a summer cottage on one of the Thou
sand Islands, the moonlight glinting
the majestic river that flowed beneath,
and browning the fair bride with such
splendor as the kings daughters well
might envy. Niagara has witnessed
the marriage VOWS, and behind the
bridal veil of Minnehaha Falls many q
couple have been made one. A Brook
Ign minister several years ago married
q couple from his chamber window,
telling them to come round in the
morning and sign the necessary papers.
The making out OF the preliminary
papers, if the clergyman is man of
tact, is usually done after the ceremony,
for not seldom is there marked hes
itancy on the part of the contracting
parties in answering the fatal question
of age. Many times have the eyes of
the bridegroom opened wide as thetally
of years counted some half a dozen
more in the presence of the clergyman
than in the prenuptial condolences of
private conversation, and though the
records are attested as true, to the best
of the signer's knowledge and belief,
yet there have been occasions in the
experience Of every minister when he
has been very certain that by some
strange magic at least half a dozen
years have dropped out of the recollec-
ton of the antique but happy bride.
Strange accidents sometimes happen in
the preparation of the certificate. The
writer once spoiled the bridal tour of q
young bride by accidentally copying
the fathers instead of the sons name
from the Health Board return lying be-
fore him. The bride was in great
alarm and ut once on her return she

The weather prophet, Virgins, of
Canada, says the Chicago Current, has
been remarkably unfortunate in his
predictions. The hobby of Virgins is
the tidal wave Several times he has
announced. with the gravity of Del
phic oracle, that the Atlantic Ocean
would, on certain date, rear high in
the air and fall with crushing and
overwhelming force upon our eastern
coasts. Notwithstanding his repeated
failures he continues to blow his trum
pet of woe, and two or three awful
cataclysmic predictions are now pend
ing. Mr.. Virgins, however, is not re-
garded with honor in his own country.
He is an employe in the Canadian Civil
Service--in the Financial Department
and it is asserted that he devotes a
large portion of the time which he
should consecrate to the Governments
work to his own meteorological dream
ing and figuring. The Quebec Chron-
icle says: I'VE have had enough of this
Professor. A man who fails nine times
out of ten ought to go into another
business. Storms are clearly out of
his forte. He has no right as an officer
of the Dominion to use the name of the
country in these wretched predictions.
That he does so use his official posi-
ton in the manner indicated is estab-
lished beyond question" Strangely
enough, this man, pronounced hum
bug in his own country, is regarded by
many Americans as seer of extraor-
binary power.

an organ-grinder and his monkey near

got through. Gardner arose to reply
and the organ-grinder began. The
crowd commenced to gather around
him. The monkey got away and ran
up tree. The Italian put down his
organ and tried to shake the monkey
out. ] he monkey would grab the tree
and shake it, too. This scene completely
attracted the audience and provoked the

Sleep as n Medicine.

The cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not that
it is more important, but it is often
harder to obtain. The best rest comes
from sound sleep. OF two men or
women, otherwise equal, the one who
sleeps the best will be the most moral,
healthy, and efficient. Sleep will do
much to cuEe irritability of temper,
peevishness, and uneasiness. 1t will
restore to vigor an overworked brain.
1t will build up and make strong q
weary body. It will cure headache
1t will cure broken spirit. 1t will
cure sorrow. Indeed, we might make
q long list of nervous and other mala-
dies that sleep will cure. The cure OF
sleeplessness requires a clean, good
bed, sufficient exercise to produce weari-
ness, pleasant occupation, good air and
not too warm q room, clear conscience
and avoidance of stimulants and mar
cotics. For those who are overworked,
haggard, and nervous, who pass sleep
less nights. we commend the adoption
of such habits as shall secure sleep
otherwise, life will be short, and what
there is of it sadly imperfect.

AN agricultural exchange warns
amateur gardeners against the common
mistake they make of planting their
seed too deep. Mature does not SOW
her seeds deep" is the supposed un-
answerable argument of tho writer.
This argument is all very well i'll its
way, but nature, having no eye to the
market price of vegetables, makes no
provision against vagrant hens. When
an amateur gardener plants cucumber
seeds with post anger he means the
seeds to be there when he comes home
in the evening.

ONE of the most amazing specimens
of funeral oratory that have ever bur-
dened the pages of the Congressional
Record was the recent speech of Con
gresham Williams, of Alabama, on the
death of one of his colleagues. The
following extract IS fair sample of the
whole speech: "His perceptive facul-
ties, potently penetrating and pellu-
c:dly clear, were marshaled and pre-
sided over by no less luminary than
if continuously companionated with
some morning star, one of a glittering
host apparently bestudding his intel
lectual armament. Likewise with his
descriptive forces, equally acted upon
from the same brilliant canopy, render
ing them wildly Photographic in their
nature and verifying action, even SO
much the object or theme he sought to
array seemed present with and visibly
standing before you. The lightnings
of genius flashed from his eyes no less
perspicuously than the thunders of elo-
quence audibly pealed from his lips. "
Congressman Williams says the speech
was written by lady; that he never
read but page or two of it, and OBJ
tanned permission to print it in the
Record without delivering it. He is
mad as halter, and will probably in
the future peruse the speeches prepared
for him before sending them to the
Record Office.
