Thrifty Eiopements.

Il may sound strange IL mention
the fact that, Notwithstanding the low
marriageable age fixed by law, elope-
ments are common. Ii is true they
are of q quite peculiar sort, and they
might be divided into elOpements with
and elopements without the consent Of
tho parents on either side. This eus-
tom so illustrates tho character Of the
peasantry OF oil regions, that I must
not dismiss it with too brief D mention.
Elopement with. consent Is an import
ant matter. The young pair are agreed
and have the full aCQniescence OF the
parents on both sides. But every
marriage calls for q wedding, and q
farmers wedding Is, under ordinary
circumstances, no child's play. The
relatives and friends must be invited
from distances extending to fifty orxa
hundred miles. The substantial part
Of the feast Is rather secondary affair
20 the farmer richly provided withfarm
products and cattle, but then drink
must Do furnished, and the national
drink Is dear, and will be consumed on
such occasions In immense quantities.
In order to escape the expense of this
provision, which would be borne equal
~ by both families. the parents Of the
bridegroom advise him TO clone with
bis beloved, and her parents advise her
TO consent 70 the elopement. After re-
ceiving the blessings Of the crafty
parents, the young people steal away
into the bush. On the next day the
friends set mp q cry as Of murder, beat
around for while, and laugh IN their
sleeves. The young couple must Of
course come back after q little while
and receive forgiveness, but there can
30 no wedding-feast after such = ssscnn-
dal." The latter is confined to mar
row circle, and the brandy Is saved

where Marbles are Nrad2.

A few days ago, at the Office of the
customs surveyor, q reporter picked
up an item which excited his curiosity.
He was told that one iirm paid $3.50
duty on marbles imported from Ger
Taking into consideration the differ
ence in the size OF the marbles, and
that each case was said to contain 25,-
600 marbles, this would make the en-
tire invoice Of about 100000. or
enougheto give each schoUlsboy In
the United States q marble or two
But as the firm referred TO is not sup
posed to control the entire trade IA
marbles Qt the United States. the boys
are entitled to q more liberal supply.
If the stock just imported were held
for the Indianapolis boys, . division
would result in each boy getting about
750 marbles It is not probable, how
ever, that this supply would last much
longer than the dozen or, two Of mar
b1es which the average boy manages
to got away with each season. s1is
Marbles belong to class OF play
things which can not very easily be
broken or otherwise destroyed. still
they disappear in, o somewhat mysteri-
GUS manner, and Of the s, 600, 600 which
have justcome across the ocean, form
ing bulky, but not very valuable part
Of the cargo Of one Of our largest ocean
steamers. not many viii be left in b
year from now and new supply will
have to be ordered from Stomach, in
Thuringia, where nearly all the mar
bles come from. Steinach is in the
Honnebefg district. the principal in-
dustry Of which is the manufacture of
toys, marbles being one of the main ar
ticles produced. The trade distin-
cuisines between two classes Of mar
bles, the glass marble, which is the
prettiest and most expensive article.
the marbles with a porcelain iinishland
q painted surface, and the common
stone marble. The glass marbles,
some of which show very handsome
designs, are produced in The glass
works, while the others are made from
stone which has been ground into dust.

much more hardy than cattle, losses

work is before us. The fair author says
that she has studied with special refer
ence to the wants of children and teach
ers in academies and common schools
A long experience in public school work
has giuen every opportunity for the APP
probation of such wants. We need 4

50 simple in Style as to be brought read
lily within the comprehension Of children
who are expected to use it.
A careful examination of the work
shows that she has supplied this want. Ii
is all and more than all she promises
She renders the study Of the history OF
the United States a pleasure and an
agreeable recitation rather than a task
1t is history Of the people as well as OF
the government. and makes reliable
