WEDDING THE COACHMAN.

For example, take the young lady who was
willing to leave kindred, wealth, society, and
all the refinement and luxuries to which she
had always been accustomed to share the
fate of her fathers coachman. In this case
the reaction from the singular fascination is
said to have occurred within two days after
the nuptial knot had been tied. The sweet
and subtle something which had not only
made it possible for this girl to turn her back
upon parents love, and q luxurious home,
but easy, and above all things desirable, be-
gan to change into another subtle something
just as soon as she was taken into the more
private and inner life of the man whom she
had chosen for her husband out of all the
world
At first it was a slight and to her most
unaccountable aversion. The man was kind
and as considerate as he knew how to be-
There was nothing to find fault with. She
had no wish to pick flaws. On the contrary
all the pride of her nature was in arms against
any falling off of the strength of her affec-

been as confident of the truth and staying

BARNEGAT LIGHT.

Far down the coast, when daylight falls,
A little ray CLEANS on the sight,
For sixty miles it glows and pales,
Dies out, then flashes ruby light.
Here on the margin of the sea
| watch that ray with keen desire,
And something sad comes over me
When fogs have screened its cleaning fire
So luminous it's message shows
Across the welter of the dark,
The ship that comes, the ship that goes,
Finds providence in that red spark.
Above the long, sad waste of shore,
Where sea news wing their eager flight.
The beacon rules the oceans roar,
The beacon rules the awesome night.
Hope CLEANS in that revolving STAR
And courage wakes within its ray,
And out across the harbor bar
1t filings the safety of the day.
SO through the mists, or DER the sea,
We wait the seer's, the poets fame,
The prophet who is yet to be,
The strong of heart, the large OF BRAIN
On some bold headland ere we know
Shall burn the radiant-fronted sage
The guide to souls tossed to and fro,
The beacon of better age.

PARASITES.
BY REV. JESSE s. GILBERT, A. NJ

The word parasite" is often used in
works on botany and agriculture. Webster
defines it as 6 a plant obtaining nourishment
Immediately from other plants, to which it at
taches itself and whose juices it absorbs"
What an accurate description of the liquor
traffic
This poisonous plant is the vilest of para
sites. 1t attaches itself to society, to every
avenue of life and trade, and sabsorbs the
"juices of every other traffic. 1t is an en-
envy to every other business, foe to all the
best interests of society, the most fruitful in
dustry of hell. There would be sold more
flour, more groceries, meat and dry goods,
more of everything useful and good, if there
were sold less beer and rum.
The man who patronizes the saloon buys
just SO much from the butcher, grocer and
shoemaker. l wonder that all the business
men of this country are not ardent workers in
the ranks of temperance. Every wise bust
The parasite is generally useless plant.
The rum parasite is VIGOROUSLY so. 1t af-
fords neither fragrant blossoms nor luscious
fruit 1t yields only the apples of Sodom or
the seeds of misery and death. Disease, pow
erty, crime and madness Turk under its shade.
The toad, the serpent, the vampire and the
basilisk find their shelter there.
Wherever this parasite grows it absorbs the
juices, and destroys the life of the largest and
fairest tree around which it is suffered to en-
Irvine.
We must kill this parasite or it will turn
this fair land, the garden of the Lord, into a
waste and bowling wilderness. Many para
sites can be killed by tobacco smoke. We
must pour upon it the waters of purified
public sentiment We must hew it to pieces
with the axe of prohibition.
We cannot and will not rest till this work
is done. for it poisons the air and pollutes the
soil. Welcome every agency that is destruc-
tive to this parasite. Speed the day when it
is torn from the tree of every industry, from
every hearthstone, when it lies trampled in
the dust, when it is consumed to ashes.

from this beautiful and productive common
wealth. This high license dodge will blind
fold the people few years only.
The winters in this part of Nebraska are
not severe; the summers are quite warm, but
it is always cool at night, and nearly all per-
sons whom a change of climate will affect are
benefited by coming here, especially those
coming from the east of the Mississippi river.
There is no wooded land in this section, save
here and there park, but the rolling prairies
unfold to the vision panorama of beauty.
The soil is adapted to raising all kinds of
grain, fruit and vegetables In wet weather
it is very sticky, but it dries off very quickly
Wymore was organized as city of the Sec
ond class in the month of April, about April
10TH and it is said that not less than $50 peo-
pie have taken up their residence here since
that time.
On having our goods moved from the freight
house to our residence by drayman, who
carefully loaded and unloaded them, | asked
him the amount of his bill, and to my sur
prise he replied =" Twenty-Five cents" 1t
was in my mind to pay him more, but not
wishing to change the customs OF the city,
let him pass on.
Building lots in this city, bring from $75
to $500. Farming land, within few miles
of the city, is worth from 500 to $40 per acre.
The potato bug has never made his appear
ance in this part of Nebraska
The various denominations are making
earnest efforts to supply the religious wants
of the people, but the Congregationalists and
Methodists seem to be in the advance.

LETTER FROM NEBRASKA.

Mr.. EDITOR On the 29th day of March,
after shipping our goods for the west, we left
the city of Camden for our new home in Ne
braska, stopping for awhile to visit friends in
northern New Jersey to spend Sabbath in
Warren county, former field of labor, and
to look in upon the Newark conference, where
we met many acquaintance, who gave us
cordial greeting and expressed earnest desires
for our prosperity. And here let me record
my gratitude to the members of the New Jer-
sey conference, with whom l spent two pleas
ant years, for the cordial manner in which
they received me, for the brotherly manner
in which I was treated while among them,
and for the gushing, warm hearted recommen-
dation which they gave me pursuant to my
departure from them. The memory of those
two years will ever afford sweetest pleasure.
Leaving New Jersey by the Delaware, Lack.
awana q Western Railroad, we pass by SER
pentine route, through portions of the hill
country and mining sections of New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, enjoying the beautiful
scenery hence passing on, via Binghamton
and Buffalo, at each of which places we were
constrained to halt awhile to visit loved ones.
At length we are comfortably fixed in
sleeping car for continuous ride to the end
of our journey, and on the 10th of April we
find ourselves without any fatigue) in the
city OF Wymore, Nebraska. The whole jour-
ney was accomplished in about two and three
quarter days. Wymore was just three years
old on the 21st of May. 1t has about 1900
inhabitants, is improving very rapidly, and,
situated on the Burlington & Missouri River
Railroad, in Gage County, in the southern
part of the state, is destined to become a
commercial centre.
We have in Nebraska, fine climate, rich
soil, people that, as as rule, are intelligent,
enterprising and sociable. We also have (and
l blush to write it, thigh license" Four
saloons pay $1,000 each for the privilege of
dispensing the fiery liquid to our citizens, and
our city council, perhaps for the purpose of
soothing their conciences and deceiving the
people, appropriate and devote those license
fees to the cause of education. But there are
those who are lifting up the banner of prohi-
bition, and believe me, Mr.. Editor, the time
is coming when the rum curse shall be swept

The introduction of steam pipes into en-
closed spaces for the purpose of extinguishing
fires has been successfully tried in Berlin.
The owner of steel pen factory in that city,
in consequence of the repeated outbreaks of
frein the drying-room, had steam pipes placed
in three of the rooms, this appliance being
shut off by short. soldered pipes of an easily
flowing alloy of lead and tin, arranged to
work automatically. One day kissing noise
made the foreman aware that one of these ap-
planes had been called into action 1t was
found, on investigation, that the contents of
the drying-room had become ignited, but
that the steam thus set free had extnguished
the fire before it could spread.

power of her love for this man as she had
been of her own existence. The slightest
touch of his work hardened hand thrilled her
with the most exquisite pleasure No woman
was ever, to all appearance, more madly in
love. No music was sweeter to her ears than
his coarse and ungrammatical language. There
was even an extra fascination about this dis
regard of conventional rules. She turned
with real pleasure from the conversation of
scholars and the refined gentlemen of her own
set to the society of this man, who didn't
know a noun from an adverb, and who was
as destitute of any intellectual originality as a
clam This slight and inexplicable aversion
after an incredible short time deepened into
positive dislike, and the sound of his approach
ing footsteps, which had once filled her heart
with the most eager delight, came to be like
the knell of doom to her. Circumstances
had not been favorable to knowledge of her
husbands habits before marriage, but when
she came to sit opposite him at table, and had
ample opportunity to observe the way in which
he partook of food, this love upon which she
had built such fond hopes of an eternal union
began to totter and tremble upon its throne.
Because this man shoveled his food into his
mouth with his knife, and leaned heavily upon
the table as he ate, and smacked his lips ap-
precatively, his wife's affection, which had
been warranted to stand the wear aud tear of
time, poverty sickness and death, was per-
ceptibly lessened. Contempt in some meas
ure took the place of the wild, passionate love
which once had filled herheart. Had he been
.unkind and neglected her, she would still have
loved him. Neglect and unkindness would
all have had their effect in time but not near
ly SO soon. So, in a very short time, aversion
and contempt grew into positive hatred

FATHER OF THE SIGNAL SERVICE.

James P. Espy is the father OF the present
system of weather signal service. He was
Pennsylvania by birth, and so poor in early
life that he had not been able to learn to read
when he was seventeen years of age He
subsequently mastered the English language
and the classics, and long before he knew
why began to study the mystery of the NOV
ing clouds and to form his storm theories.
At last he came to Washington and asked OF
Congress an appropriation of $4,000 year
for five years. but he was met with jibes and
ridicule. Senator Preston, of South Carroll
ma, said Espy was mailman, too dangerous
to be at large, and the Senator would vote
special appropriation for prison in which to
confne him. Espy was in the Senate gal
lery at the time Wounded to the quick he
left the capitol and went to New York. where
he delivered course of lectures with great
success. They were repeated in Boston, and
he made money enough to enable him to visit
Europe.
Not long after reaching Liverpool, January
6, 1869, great storm occurred. He went to
Lloyds, consulted the newspapers as they ar
rived, noted the direction of the wind as CIV
en- at different places, and from these data
prepared, with the hour points marked. Every
line and curve and point exempliied his the
DRY. He was at no loss now for audiences.
He appeared before the British Association of
O. - % oh Toh,,
chel was present, an interested auditor He
crossed the channel to Paris, and the Acad-
envy of Sciences appointed a committee, COM
posed of the illustrious Arago, 'to report
upon his observations and theory" The eff
feet of this report, when it reached Washing
ton, was not much different from that which
followed afterwards the announcement of
Morse's first transmitted message over the
wire from Washington to Baltimore.
In due time Professor Espy returned to
Washington, and one of the first public men
he encountered was Senator Preston. They
met on Pennsylvania avenue. Toward the
conclusion of their report, Mr.. Arago's COM
mittee had expressed the hope that the Gov
eminent of the United States would place Mr..
Espy in position to continue his important
investigations and complete his remarkable
theory by means of all the observations and
all the experiments which even the deduc-
tons of his theory may suggest in vast
country, the home as it were of the aerial me-
teors, storms, water-spouts and tornadoes.
Senator Preston was prompt to apologize for
the mistake he had made when his language
drove Espy from the Senate gallery, and he
was as profuse in his promise to help the
storm king on in the spirit of the French re-
port. 1t is a matter of history that he did SO;
that Espy got his S25, 600, and that to him we
owe the first step in the formation of the
present signal service. He published several
reports which are now very rare.
