Paving q Wedding Fee.

The Rev. MI. S., of Lowell, is as often
called upon as any other pastor in the
city to tie the conjugalk knot.
Several years ago he was waited upon
one evening by a young man, a stranger,
who requested his presence ut No. Az
Blank street.
He reached No. 40 Blank street in
good time, made known the object OF
his visit and was introduced to q ledger
who turned out to be the party in qucs-
ton. He invited the clergyman to
walk up to his room, when the landlady,
with That keen interest in things matri-
monial, characteristic of the female mind,
rendered the use of her parlor for the
occasion.
The young man disappeared and short
ly returned, supporting on his arm a
comely young woman, whom he pre-
sented to the minister and the landlady
as the bride. elect.
The twain were soon made one, in the
stately and impressive manner for which
our clergyman is noted, and the usual
awkward pause ensucd.
The silence was broken by the groom,
who inquired of Mr.. s. if he was fond of
dogs, and on being assured that he was
the young man vanished to the upper
regions and returned, followed by q
small terrier.
This animal was put through a va.
riety of tricks, expert and amusing, and
the reverend gentleman then arose to
take his departure (and his fee). 49,.
The bridegroom assisted him on with
his overcoat and remarked: "Well now,
Mr.. S., you've married me; that's your
trade. I showed my trick dog to you;
that's my trade. You usually get i've
dollars for putting up your JOB, get as
much for an evenings entertainment
with Nep, there; l guess We are about
square, amt we2"
Mr.. S. assured the gentleman that the
existing relations between them were OF
the squarcst possible kind, and, expires,
sing a polite hope that the groom would
derive as much pleasure and profit by
his part of the transaction as he had
done from his, withdrew the gamer by
q new experience .-Det,ot Free Press.

lucen Yictoria's Coronation.

Greville writes in his memories of
Queen Victoria's coronation: "The diff
ferent actors in the ceremonial were very
imperfect in their parts, and had
neglected to rchearse them. Lord John
Thyme, who oticiated for the Dean of
Westminster, told me that nobody knew

bishop and himself (who had rehearsed),

in these matters) and the Duke of Wei.

continual difficulty and embarrassment,
and the queen never knew what she was
to do next. They made her leave her
chair and enter into St. Edwards chapel
before the prayers were concluded, much
to the discontinue of the archbishop.
She said to john Thyme: Pray tell me
what l am to DO, for they don't know

TEMPERANCE TOPICS.
Opening He'll Gate.

The bars are down, He'll Gate is opened wide.
There's room for victims Of the licensed sin;
Broad is the way, and many 60 therein
And float s~erenely on the dangerous tide,
Where whirlpools coil and hidden rocks abide,
With unexploded dynamite within,
Ground and prepared in Satan's mills OF
gin,
Where ali that's just is hated and denied.
One He'll Gate opens only to the sea-,
Inviting commerce and prosperity;
The other is the inhospitable door,
Where bacchanalian victims shout and roar,
Unconscious OF the covered dynamite,
The electric spark a touch may soon ignite;
On every corner unseen wires dittuse
The fire. and death is there to touch the fuse.

Cookery for Colds.

A PLEASANT DRAUGuT FOR A Cold
Boil a quarter of an ounce of gelatlne IN
4 pint of new milk. Reduce it to half
the quantity, add sugar to taste, and a
drop of almond essence This should
be taken at bedtime, not too warm.
APPLE WATER.-This isa refreshing
beverage when a bad cold has the effect
of making one thirsty. 1t is especially
appreciated by children. Cut four slow
ly.baked apples in quarters, put them IN
q lug with q couple of cloves. Pour a
quart of boiling water on them. In
three hours strain and sweeten to taste.
LEMON WHEY.--This is often recon-
mendcd to excite Precipitation after a
chill, and is less heating than the white
wine wocy sometimes given for that pur-
pose. Pour into boiling new milk as
much lemon juice as will make a small
quantity quite clear. Add enough hot
water to make it a pleasant acid, and
sweeten to taste. Strain and drink hot
before going to bed.
RICE CAUDLE.-This is IN excellent
remedy for any case where a sudden
chill has brought on diarrhpa. Soak
some rice for an hour in cold water,
strain it, and put two tablespoonful OF
the rice into a pint or rather more OF
new milk. Simmer till it will pulp
through a sieve. Put the pulp and
milk into a saucepan, with a bruised
Glove, a bit of cinnamon, and loaf sugar
to taste. Simmer ten minutes more. If
too thick, add a little milk. Serve with
exceedingly thin strips of dry toast.
OATMEAL GRUEL.-Mix two table
%spoonfuls of fine fresh oatmeal with a
pinch of salt and a little cold milk;
when quite smooth, gradually pourinto
it half a pint more. Set it over a clear
fire in a lined saucepan, and stir without
intermission. Many cooks let tho Cruel
stand to simmer at the side of the fire,
only stirring occasionally, but this is a
great mistake. To be good, Cruel must
be stirred the whole time. After 1t
comes to boiling point, pour in another
quarter of a pint of cold milk, and boil
for twenty minutes. If approved
sweeten the Cruel with loaf sugar, and
flavor it with a pinch of nutmeg and a
small shred of cinnamon. If it is not
approved, serve it plain. There is
nothing more delicious than a basin of
we'll made Cruel, and nothing more un-
pleasant to take, or even TO look at, than
the badly made Cruel SO often sent up to
an invalid by a lazy cook. Cruel is also
a most soothing remedy for a bad colo.

The inhabitants of Nova Scotia were
more in favor of the struggling Ameri-
cans in the days of the Revolution than
were those of Canada. A large portion
of them seemed desirous of linking their
fortunes with the cause of the 'Bostonl-

called. They petitioned the continental
congress on the subject of union, and
opened communications with Washing
ton; and Massachusetts, was more than
once asked to aid in revolutionizing the

made such assistance impracticable.
The buildings which surrounded the
pubic squares in ancient Rome CORE
sponded in lavish magnifccnce to the al

triumphal arches. Broad colonnades
with shops formed the enclosure, inter-
rupted by temples aud courts of justice,
which can have differed but little in ex-
ternal appearance from the sacred edl-
fees. Most important among their pub
lie buildings were the basilicas, which in
name, purpose and form were derived
from Greek prototypes. AS halls OF Jus
tice and places for commercial traffic
they may be regarded as covered extern
sions of the open squares.

The Officers Passed Them.

A year or so ago a merchant vessel
was sent to Havana to bring back to the
Unite d States some shipwrecked sailors.
While there they obtained a lot OF cheap
cigars, which they corded up in q great
pile on the deck. Over this pile, which
looked very much like a cord of wood,
thew threw a lot of old sail cloth, and
when the customs officers asked them If
they had any dutiable goods on board
they pointed to this pile and said it con-
tanned cigars. The customs officers
thought they were being guyed, and did
not look at them.

Tying the Wrong Man.


Some years ago I was living in a vii.
lagc in Solano county. Upon one .oc.
casion a young man drove a wagon into
town loaded with fruit. After he had
placed his fruit on the train he went
into q saloon to take o few drinks and
have "a good time" with the boys;very
soon he became wild with liquor and was
80 unmanageable that the constable of
the township had to arrest him. As there
was no prison in the town he resorted to
tying the fellow with his back to tho
tree right in the main street.
For a time he surgcd and tugged at
the ropes, but finding his efforts useless,
he cried out; "My Coda has it come to
this? Tied TO a tree like q horse?"
Then gathering his scattered wits he
said to the constable: 81 amt the fcl-
low to tie. Tie the man that sold the
whisky!"
Here was true philosophy tor you;
why arrest and tie the corrupted and let
the ~corrupter go on with his work'
We have temporized long enough with
this giant evil. The time has come when
we ought to rise in u might as SOW.
creigns and crush it out. We have been
tying the wrong man long enough. Let
us seize the right nan now and rivet fet-
tiers so securely upon him that no
strength or skill will ever avail to break
them.--Rsscue.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
4 Simple Remedy.

Lard as an application for bruises IS
considered indispensable at our house:
If put on as soon as possible, it will
usually remove all soreness, and prevent
the dlscoloration that follows such a
hurt. If the bruisc is severe it may not
cure it entirely, but will help it in any
case. A blow on the face followed by a
black and blue spot is especially annoy
;nr. but unless so near the eyes as to
settle black under them, lard will pre-
vent such discoloration. Try it when
next YOU are so unfortunate as to get a
bruise.

Burns.

Advice on the best way to act when
the clothing is on fire has so often been
given in prin: that it seems as If everyone
must know how to act in this terrible
vet one can scarcely take up
q newspaper without seeing that some
unfortunate woman has persisted because
she ran about screaming for help instead
of rolling on the floor and trying to
smother the flames. 1t is of the greatest
Importance that the mouth should be
kept shut, so that the flames may not DO
brcathed in. If there is water at hand
to dash on the fire, it can be easily en-
tineuished, but too often there is none;
then seize the first wooden article thar
can be caught up-a shawl, overcoat,
heavy table cover, rug or piece of carpet
and wrap it tightly around the person,
if possible, roll her over and over on the
floor, as this brushes out the flame. Flro
cannot burn without air; when the sup
plv is cut off it must go out. If the sui
fercr seems extremely weak and eS-
hausted by the shock, give a few spoon:
fuls of brandy and water. If the feet
arc cold, apply hot bricks or bottles OF
hot water to them. Cut the clothes off
the injured parts; do not attempt to re-
move them in any other way. If the
skin is not much broken, mix in a bowl
a thick paste of common baking soda,
spread it thickly on linen and lay it on
the burns. AS it begins to dry, wet by
squeezing water on it without removing
it; if it is kept thoroughly damp, there
is usually little pain. When there IS a
large raw surface, cover with a. thick
layer of cosmoline, oiled rags, or simply
wet cloths; if the air can be excluded the
smarting will cease. A burn is danger
Gus in proportion to its extent rather than
it's depth. In all severe cases, send tora
doctor at once. Very nourisning food
must be given to sustain the system while
the tissue that was lost is being replaced.

KILLED BY A RUNAWAY.
Henry Cottre1l Meets sudden fa'e
Near the Hot springs Yesterday.

Henry Cottrell, of Kaysville, LETT the
city last evening at about a O'Clock, IN
company with two other men in charge
of teams, with whom he had been engaged
yesterday in moving family to this city.
When near the Hot Springs his team
became unmanageable, either through
his dropping the reins or something OF
the sort not known, and the horses ran
away. Young Cottrell was seen standing
on the tongue of the wagon as though
trying to gather the lines and stop
the frightened horses, when the out
fit collided with telegraph pole
and he was violently thrown
against it, which resulted in crushing his
skull and causing almost instant death.
His companions in the lead with their
teams took his lifeless body to the home
of his father, Mr.. Charles Cottrell, where
the terrible sight nearly drove his family
distracted. A coroner's inquest was held
to-day, with a verdict in accordance with
the facts given.
Henry Cottrell was but Is years old,
and is said to have been an honest,
manly young fellow, well liked by all who
knew him.
