The Yarious Kinds Of Weddings.

At the end of the first year comes
cotton weddings /; at two years comes
the paper; at three, the feather; at
the close of five comes the wooden ;
at the seventh anniversary the
friends assemble at the wooden, and
at ten comes the tin. At twelve
years the silk and fine linen; at if
teen the crystal wedding at twenty
the friends gather with their china,
and at twenty-five the married couple
that have been true to their vows fol
a quarter Of century are rewarded
with silver gifts. From this time
forward the tokens of esteem be.
come rapidly more valuable. When
the thirteenth anniversary is reached
they are presented with pearls ;at the
fortieth come the rubies, and at the
fiftieth occurs the glorious colder
wedding. Beyond that time the
aged couple are allowed to enjoy
their many gifts in peace. If how
ever, by any possibility they should
reach the seventy-fifth anniversary
they are presented with the raresI
gifts to be obtained, at the celebra
ton of their diamond wedding.

Cyclones That Counted.

A party Of gentlemen were sitting
in front of the City Hotel at Browns
vile, Monday, discussing the force
of windstorms, when a man from
Rich Hill remarked:
"After our big cyclone, the other
day, large number Of birds and
chickens were found, from which ev-
cry feather had been stripped BY the
terrible wind; in fact, they were
peeled as slick as an onion, but the
fowls were still alive and kicking"
"Oh, that's nothing" exclaimed q
citizen Of Brownsville. "One of my
neighbors had his well blown 30
crooked by our big cyclone, two or
three years age, that he has not been
able to get a bucket down into ii
since, and he was compelled to dig
another well.'
At this point the meeting adjourned
to the bar, and the strangest part OF
the whole thing was, Bob Miller Sc,
'em up, after which the cyclone ial
went off to inspect the ''public cave
to see if it was in condition to receive
a sudden influx of visitors.
