As weddings in the English style
are all the rage this season, il may be
interesting to mention few points re-
garding what is considered the correct
form on the other side of the Atlantic.
After the departure Of the bride and
bridegroom the party at once breaks up;
and in London II is not customary to
have any festivity in the evening. In
the country there is often q dance
to amuse those staying in the
house. Neither car DIS nor cake are
sent, and people discover for
themselves when the young couple re-
turn from, their wedding tour, and call
at their convenience. When the bride
appears for the first time at dinner in
any house she takes precedence Of ev-
cry one, no matter how high his rank
provided such appearance is within
three months Of her marriage, after
which time she is no longer considered
bride. This custom is, however, be-
ginning to fall into disuse, excepting IN
rural districts. The bridegroom does
not obtain any precedence. The bride
often wears lier wedding dress for her
first large dinners and parties, the or
ange blossoms must be removed, as
they are only permissible on the we'd
ding day.

gentleman-that money, you know.
God bless you, sir, said she.
Lucy was going to stay there, and an
nounced her intention ofnever returning
to her father. "He will have 10 get
some one elsa TO be his servant. maid
now. I only got your message this
morning. viii stay with you and get
some work, and we1l zee II William
can't get some, and you will get well,
We shall all be as happy o. possible. !"
And the little woman hustled about,
and found some sticks, and Joe found
some more matches, and they got bit
of fire somehow. and before Joc left he
thought That his nights adventure had
not turned out 30 badly o. might have
been expected.
Lucy Manvers' sister Kate had been
married about five years ago to o poor
young artist, who had every wish and
vii! to succeed in his profession, and,
with o young mans buoyancy, made
up his mind that he was certain to do
so. Mr.. Manvers had forbidden the
wedding altogether and solemnly told
his daughter he would never see her
again should she Marty William Tay-
Tor. She did 80 however; but with
little money and no introduction, it
was not easy for her husband to get
on; and by degrees he went down in
the world till he got about as low as he
possibly could get. He had on the
evening on which Joe met him gone in
to the gambling room in the hope Of
getting little help from Mr.. Manvers,
who, at one time had great hopes of his
two daughters making good marriages.
They were then one of the principal
attractions of the saloon, and when his
eldest girl married against his will he
said that, were she starving, he would
never help her. And he kept his word
for once in his life faithfully. Lucy
would only stay with her father after
her sister left on condition that he
never asked her to enter the saloon
again; SO, as he could trust her better
than any one else, it was her duty IN
the evening to keep guard over the
kitchen and cupboard entrances.
Joe went home next day, having had
quite enough of London, and made
full confession. He also discovered
suddenly want of pictures in his faith
er's neighbors' houses, and spoke of q
certain artist whom lie thought might
be induced to came and paint few of
their magnificent views around there.
Joe's father did exactly what Joe ex-
pected. He sent up EGO. to be repaid
by degrees, and found little furnished
cottage for the London artist and his
wife, and sister-in-law. And some
how, Mrs. Norton took violent fancy
to Lucy, who looked ton years younger
than when Joe saw her first. And af-
ter bit she grew so charming that Joe
thought somebody else among the
mountains might want her if he did not
look after her himself. So one morn
ing there was quiet wedding in the
pretty little church, and Lucy Manvers
was made Mrs. J. Norton, Jr. And to
make everything better, Mrs. Taylor soon
grew almost we'll, and her husband,
with hard work and encouragement,
soon found himself one of the most ris-
ing artists. And so altogether Joe
never regretted taking London Holi-
day.

Lord Palmerston's country residence
Is we'll known to have been near Rom
sey, Hants. In the course of his ac-
customed rides in the New Forests he
saw q laboring man burning lime and
entered into familiar conversation with
him, asking to be obliged with his SUR
name. The man replied that il was
Purkiss. Now, this was the reply that
was sought, and Palmerston exclaimed.
II thought as much" He accordingly
asked the man if he was descended from
the ime-burner of that name who carted
away the body of William Rufus after
his unfortunate foil by the arrow of Sir
Walter Tyrrel. The man answered in
the affirmative. "Then give me your
hand" said his lordship, "for though
you are laborer, must not forget
that You are brother Hampshire man,
at the same time handing the man (if
my memory serves me) the medium Of
procuring some refreshments ct his ear
LEST cessation from toll. "Thus,n said
his lordsllip, in relating the incident,
Il have had the great honor Of con-
versing with an honest workingman
who is descended from the oldest family
and bears the Oldest surname in Eng
land. Notes and Queries.

Whether We make bed the coming
fall, or next spring, by setting out plants
from runners that have taken root in
an old bed, fair crop Of fruit connot
be expected until 1885. A few scattered
berries may be borne, but nothing like
. crop. until such plants have been in
their new location for a, year. The only
way in which it is possible to prepare q
bed that will afford q crop next spring
is to set out pot layered plants.
At present nearly all Of the nursery
men supply pot-layered plants; it is
true that they cost more than plants
dug up from the beds where they
have taken root, out only enough more
to pay for the extra trouble. II one
has an ,established bed, he can easily
strike the runners in pots himself. The
earliest runners will give the strongest
plants, but it is not too late to layer
them this month. Small pots, two or
three inches across the top, are to be
filed with light rich soil. Strong
runners, just about to take root, are
selected, and pot of soil is set or
plunged in the soil of the bed, directly
under each runner, planting the pot
we'll down, 30 that it's edge will be on
level with the surface of the bed.
Place the runner, or rather the young
plant at the end of it, in the center Of
the pot, and hold it in place to prevent
it being blown about, by the use of
small hooked pegs, pieces Of wire bent
like hair pin, or even by laying small
clod or stone upon it. When
we'll rooted, which will
be about in three weeks, the slen-
der stem that connects the new plant
with old, may be cut, and the ported
plants will be ready to set out in the
new bed. The sooner such plants can
be set out the better, August being the
best time If the plants are ready. The
bed being we'll prepared, and manured,
set the plants in rows two feet apart,
with eighteen inches between them in
the row. Give the pots thorough
watering, and the ball Of earth may be
turned out without the least disturbance
of the roots. In q dry time the plants
should be watered, and all runners that
appear upon them are to be pinched
of, in order to concentrate the growth
in the crown. At the approach Of win
ter, cover the bed with straw; it should
lie thinly over the plants, and thicker
between them.-American Agriculturist.

of these were happy marriages, and
Miss Thackeray, Mrs. Craik, and Mar

unions, for they chose comparative
youngsters for matrimonial mates. Mod
ern and recent marriages of this kind
have proved lucky unions, and as some
of the latter have given sort of tone
and fashion to the custom, we may look
out for tide in that direction. If it
becomes the fashion for women to
choose husbands younger than them
selves, old-fashioned folk may preach
against it in vain.
