Old. But Good.

The old story going the rounds about
the Senator from Arkansas who ate q
chunk of soap disguised as q caramel,
and never WINGED over the dose, brings
to mind little incident that once oc'
curred-or is said to have occured-in
Virginia City, though the story is not
particularly new. 1t was the custom in
those days, to set on the tables in the
restaurants, as a condiment, dish Of
little but very hot pepper berry, known
as the "chilicopena." Two !rishmen
walked into restaurant, and seated
themselves at table.
"Phwat's them, Pat?" said one, point
ing to the chilicopenas.
"Berries. 1 think" said the other.
Pat put couple of the berries in bis
mouth, and in moment the tears were
streaming from his eyes. =,
"Phwat are you cryin' about, mon%
asked his companion.
"Sure," said Pat, II got o letter to-day
that me ould mother is dead"
While Pat was saying this, the othei
man was chewing on some chilicopenas
and the tears were coming into his eyes
also.
"And phwat are yo cryin' about?
asked Pat.
"Sure, I'm crying to think that YOU
mother didn't die before you were born

Shad for Our Waters.

On Friday morning Col. Mcdonald,
superintendent of the U. S. fish Matching
establishment at Washington, D. c.,
notified two of his assistants, Arthur
Yeatman and Edward Fitzgerald, to get
ready a supply of shad and take the
nearest and best route to the Saluda,
Seneca and Tugaloo rivers and supply
those streams with young shad: By
Saturday morning all was in readiness
and the young gentlemen started with
100000 young fish. They arrived in
Greenville on the passenger train on
Sunday afternoon and unloaded 40 large
cans filled with the small fry. In a few
moments after they arrived they had
made arrangements with Gilreath &
Harris to transport the fish to the Saluda.
Two large wagons were brought into
requisition, and just at dark 100000
young shad were placed in the Saluda at
Cox's bridge. They were carefully
handled by the gentlemen in charge, but
they would not allow any one else to
help them as an inexperienced person
might cause much injury to the young
fry. The fish were not more than third
of an inch in length and about the size
of broom straw, but they grow very
rapidly, and it is expected that in three
years the rivers of South Carolina will
be we'll stocked with this nutritious and
delicately favored fish.
After finishing their work the party
proceeded to the Seneca river where they
will place 10000 young sbad; from there
they 60 to the Tugaloo, where they will
place 10000 and then return to Wash.
ington on Thursday. They will gather
up the empty cans on their return trip.
1t is hoped that the experiment of
stocking the Carolina rivers with fish
food will be q complete success, and the
Government officers should receive every
encouragement and courtesy in prosccut'
ing their beneliceut labors to that end

Cupid's Recipe for the "WeddIng
Cake.H

Since many of our young men have
gained realizing sense of the declaration
of the Creator, that "it is not good that
man should be alone," and since they
have learned by searching that the
promise of the Lord. II will make him a
helpmate for him," has been fulfilled,
and since many persons, both young and
elderly, of city and country are marrying,
and seeking to be married, l thought it
we'll that they should have an opportunity
of getting Cupid's recipe for making
wedding cake:
Take pounds of fervent devotion;
extract of iaithfulness, pounds; heart.
felt satisfaction, i quarts; prudence and
good nature, pound each; confidence
and mutual forebearance, scruples each;
gentleness and modesty, s ounces; matri-
monial fidelity, II scruples connubial
felicity, l pound ecstatic enjoyment, 8
quarts; patience, industry and economy,
| pound each wisdom and experience,
Is pennyweights; discretion and benev-
olence, 7 ounces; spice and neatness, 4
ounces; seeds of virtue, s ounces; sense
of purity, ! ounce; sweetness of disposi-
ton. 12 pints; balm Of "a thousand ills, l
quart cream of excellence, 5 pints; milk
Of human kindness, l gallon; common
sense, 100 grains. Mix these ingredients
thoroughly together with cheerfulaess,
then pour the mixture into the golden
bowl of domestic happines, fabricated
with the oil of gladness, bake in the oven
of double blessedness, heated with the fire
oftrue love. While warm, overspread the
whole with frosting of gracefulness, in
the center place the star of hope, set
round with dimples and the sparkle of
bright eyes. Encircle with wreath of
smiles, interviewer with rosy bushes and
pinks of perfection. Fasten the wreath
with gold cords of harmony and the silver
threads of discourse. Cupid vouched
under oath that one Of these cakes would
last lifetime.

A Marriage Auction.

The account that follows is taken from
a historian of Babylon, who wrote of the
fifth century before Christ; and it may
undoubtedly be relied upon as a correct
picture of the time. Those old Dabyloni.
ans believed in marriage; and if the
woman old enough to marry did not find
a husband of her own good fortune, then
she must be provided by the public,
and to this end, an auction of unmarried
women took place annually.
The most beautiful of the girls were
first put up, and the man of good charac-
ter who bid The highest sum took his
choice. And so they went on until the
apparently desirable wives we're all dis.
posed of. In some instances, where
young ladies Of rare beauty were present
ed, large sums were paid-such sums,
in fact, rs only man of means could
afford.
After all the pretty and good.looking
women had been disposed Of there were
sure to be some for whom no one would
make an offer; and some were there
whom no mau would take except he were
paid for it. And now came bidding in
the other direction. Instead of the man
saying how much he would give for the
wife, he said for what sum, cash in hand,
he would accept her. The woman unfor.
tunatc enough to be homely, but healthy
and strong, was bid off to the man who
would take her for the least money.
Naturally, there would be few homeIy
ones, whom 10 one would take except he
was paid large sum. And thus it
might happen that the large sum paid by
one man to the most beautiful of the
young girls would be paid to another
man for accepting the plainest and home
liest Of the lot.
In this way the sums paid for the
desirable wives became marriage portions
to the unfortunately undesirable ones. So
in the end the sale was completed and the
docket successfully cleared.
There is one thought that forces its
way upon US. How often do you suppose
it happened that one OF those men who
had been paid to take homely- faced
wife found himself, in the end, possessed
of treasure? And, on the other hand,
how many Of those who had been attracted
by beautiful face, and had paid large
sum of money for their choice, would,
before the year was out, have gladly
exchanged for one of the palmer. faced?
