Home Again.

Boston Courier
The maiden walks lns strand no mors
Enj1ying the Oc nm b-eaZ',
Where the tiny wIvele5i Kiss the shore
And the SAM is alive with hsas.
No more in a suit Of L!Ee or drab
She into the waite goes;
Size fears NJ more the vOracl1us crab
That sought to deyOur her toes.
She Is dom for the while with seaside hops,
Those innocent dissipations;
Shc has turned her back on dudes and fops,
And given up beach firtati0ns.
The maiden Is back from hsr summerins
TO home and ir, dear delights,
Back % the garden gate, 20 swing

She find, that while she has been away
The moths have devoured her sealskin

SEVEN WAYS 10 MARRY.
Prices TO Suit From One Dollar Up to
Thousand.

There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptal knot may be
tied, says the Milwaukee Jounul the
attending expense of the different modes
varying from 81 to 81 900.
The least expensive and the one seldom
adopted, except in cases of elopcment is
that afforded by the Justice office There
couple can be firmly united in the space
of a minute for small sum. 1t is custom
ary for a1groom to dress as he may please
when the marriage is to be performed by q
justice, and dress-suit would be sadly out
of place in a musty law Office. The one
great advantage of the justiCe-shop mar
riage is its cheapness
As some people object to being married
by justice of the peace, preierring the
sanction of the church in addition to that
of the law, the young people may visit a
parsonage instead of q Justices Office with
the same preparation. The ceremony
may be fully as informal when performed
at the minister's home, the only difference
being that not less than SO and, better
still, 50 or $40 should be paid for the SER
vice, although there is no fixed sum
charged.
The most popular ceremony among
people who do not class themselves rs in
society" and also among many who do,
is quiet home wedding, where the bride
is attired i'm a suit of plain white or q
lIuNcuIS uTcSS, anu lnt BIOOlll III pam
black or brown business suit, and where
only few friends and relatives are pres
cnt. The affair is informal, perhaps
modest supper or lunch being served after
the ceremony is performed. and the entire
expense TO the groom being covered by q
$50 bill or even less, if he is economical.
This is the most popular wedding cere-
mony and this is the way in which fully
40 per cent. OF young people are married.
Next in point of favor and inexpensive
ness is the informal church wedding, be-
ing similar in all things except that the
service is performed within the portals of
the church. 1.-THE affair is strictly private,
the bride and groom may be unsupported
or have bridesmaids and groomsmen, as
they please. In the latter case full-dress
suits should be worn, increasing the ex-
pense.
The 'Tull-dress wedding" as it may be
called when the ceremony is performed at
home, is next in favor. Elaborate trous-
seau, full-dress suits bridesmaids and
groomsmen, flowers in abundance and a
host of invited guests are the requisites,
followed by a reception, feast or a lunch,
as the contracting parties may desire.
The seventh and last, and least popular,
owing to its publicity,is the full-dress
affair performed in church. Among
people who desire to create stir in So
ciety this is the iavoritc. 1t is expensive
and in many cases unsatisfactory.

victor Hugo Upon st. Paul.

Paul, born a Pharlsee had been a
weaver of camels' hair for tents, and SER
want of Gamaliel Having studied with
the priests and guarded the mantles of the
prosecutors, he aspired to become tor
mentor While en- route to Damascus for
that purpose, suddenly bright light falls
about him and throws him from his horse.
[This transformation of st. Paul is great
day. Retain that date; it corresponds to
the 25th of January of our Gregorian
year.l
The road to Damascus is necessary to
the march. of progress. To, fall in the
truth and rise n just mana falling trans
fguration that is sublime. Reckoning
from st. Paul, his history will be that of
humanity.
Paul, once again on his feet marches on
without being arrested any more. For
ward is his cry. He is cosmopolitan. He
loves and gives himself to those from
without. whom paganism called barbar-
ians, and Christianity, the gentiles. There
was no more neither Jew, nor Greek, nor
slave. Hear him speaking to the Gala
tians: so, foolish Galatians! how can you
return to the yokes to which you were
bound? | declare to you that all your
grand ceremonies accomplished by the
law are nothing. Love one another. You
are called to liberty" He held that man
may become new creature.
At Athens Paul stood upon Mars Hill,
on the steps cut in the rock, which one
still sees there to-day. Here had sat the
powerful judges before whom Orestes had
appeared and Socrates had been judged.
The Areopagus was not sitting on that
night when Paul made the announce
ment, ~ come to declare to you the UNI
known God"
Paul, after his august fall, rises, armed
with the shining sword Of Christianity
against the old errors. Two thousand
years afterward France, dismayed by the
light, also rose, holding in her hand that
flaming sword, the revolution.-[T Trans
