A Baby Bride.

WHEELING, Feb. 4.-PocahOntas
county, is this State, is all torn up
over the marriage of Miss Matilda
Mccarthy to Samuel Ervine. The
feature of the marriage which causes
the sensation is the fact that the
bride is only eleven years old, while
the groom is well-to-do farmer of
forty-five. The marriage was con-
tracted with due regard to the forms
of law, a license being procured with
the free consent of the brides parents.
1t is asserted in the vicinity that
IRVINE paid a money consideration
to old man Mccarthy, who is a poor
man with large family. Matilda il
described as comely lass who looks
much older than she is. There is
West Virginia statute, however
which not only renders the marriage
null and void, but subjects the father
of the clild TO imprisonment for 1
long term, or even death by hanging
if jury so adjudges. The Clerl
who issued the license may also hav,
trouble, as the citizens in their wratl
threaten to prosecute all concerned

Beecher.

When Henry Ward Beecher was editor
Of the Independent, sixteen years ago,
he wrote few editorials, but soon got
tired of such work, and his name was
dropped. Editorial life requires stated
labor, which is just what Beecher in
tensely dislikes.
When he wrote for the Ledger his
Discrimination annoyed Bonner to such O
degree that he was compelled to adopt q
new method. This was to send man
TO Beecher's house every week will
orders not to leave until the "copy" was
placed in his hands. Beecher being thus
put under siege at first was wont to "beG
off" and make promises, but after {
while he found that there was no escape
and hence fulfilled his contract Bonner
paid Beecher during an engagement
which lasted only three or four years
nearly S5O,0OO-including $4,000 To-
Norwood. This was then protitabl,
engagement, but the scandal destroyed
the sale Of Beecher's writings, ant
Bonner dropped him.
Beecher has made more money b,

man that ever stood in the pulpit, and j
is hardly probable that his success vii
ever be equaled. He is really wonder

To Husbands.

Always complain of being tired, and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should have everything in
readiness for you, but you should not dc
anything for her.
When your wife asks for money, give
her q nickle ask her what she wants
with it, and when she tells You, ask her
ii she caM't do withoutit. Then go down
town and spend ten times the amount
for cigars, for they are q necessity.
Go down town of an evening, stand
around on the street corner and talk pol.
itics; Its more interesting than to stay
at home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip, but
you can spin all the yarns you wish.
Have your wife get up and make fires,
but don't get up yourself till the rest Of
the family are eating breakfast, as you
might take cold.
Wear old clothes, and make yourself
as untidy as possible until your wife's
health fails, then it would he best for
you to fix up some, for in oil probability
You will want another when she is gone.
Have smile for everybody you meet
but get frUwn OH before you so home.

A Modern Drama.

The radiant rays of an afternoon sun
were shedding a sheen OF bright light
DER all around, when afar off might have
been seen an elegantly attired, exquis-
itely dressed lady, leisurely walking
henceward. A sweet, kindly smile illu-
mined her fine face. A loving light,
soft and assuring, beamed from her
beautiful eyes. At glance it was to be
seen that she was a womanly woman,
possessed Of that ever triumphant trio OF
traits, lovely, loving and lovable.
A few squares from her, just hid from
sight around the corner, was Wild
haired, dirty-faced, quick-eyed, ragged,
unambitious, bad little boy. He chewed
tobacco more naturally, effectively and
indushiously than ever q COW chewed
her cud. He was on the watch. As he
peeped around the corner and saw the
lady approaching, he began to distort
his features, spit upon his finger and
streak the dirt upon his face so as to give
him the appearance OF being in great
distress.

Habits of the Pig.

"When the pig wallows in rcire,"
says DR.. Ballard, "he merely follows an
instinct implanted in him, in common
with some other pachydermatous Great
ures, the object of which is cutaneous
cleansing. The mud stands to him in
the relation of soap to n human being,
but instead of washing it off with water,
he allows it to cake and dry upon the
skin, and then rubs it all off, mud and
cutaneous debris together, upon some
sufficiently rough surface. Loose hair
and cutaneous scurf irritate him, and
he takes his own way of cleansing his
skin from them. Cleanse his skin for
him and he will rest in contentment,
without offending the eyes of his super
cilious betters, often less scrupulous in
this matter than he is, by his wallow.
