A Curious Marriage Custom.

A singular marriage custom prevails
among the French Canadians at Cote
de Beaupre, north of Quebec. After
the morning marriage service in the
church, the bridal party, in caleche
or carriole, make tour of calls upon
relatives and friends during the day,
and then return again to church for
vespers. Before the evening dance at
the brides new home comes the sup
per. When the company rise from
the table, the bride keeps her seat, and
someone asks with great dignity, "Why
dees madame wait is she so soon in
Dad grace ?" She replies, "Somebody
has stolen my slipper; | can't walk"
Then they carry her, chair and all,
into the middle of the room, while a
loud knocking announces grotesqne
ragged vender of boots and shoes. He
kneels before the slipperless bride and
tries on long succession of old boots
and shoes of every variety and siz' un.
til at last he finds her missing shoe.
The groom redeems it for good price,
which is spent in treating the COM
pany. If the groom is not watchful,
they steal ber hat and cloak, which he
redeems in the same way; aud they
have been known to steal the bride,
for whom there must be liberal pay
The church forbids round dances, SO
they content themselves with contra
dances. The event Of the evening is a
jig, in which guest volunteers to
Guidance the bride. If successful, the
victor demands a prize from the
groom.

The wish to be rich is natural, and
within limits, promotive of human
progress in all directions. But what
is it to be rich? To most feople who
have little or nothing $4,000 would
seem = fortune. To those who have
$4,000 the amount seems small, but
100000 looks like about the right
figure. The man who has 100000
declines to be called a rich man and
sighs for u million, while the million
aire thinks of the vast fortunes of the
Astors and Vsnderbilts, and deems
himself poor by comparison. Is any
man ever rich9 That is to say, is any
man ever as rich as he wants to be?
The great mass of people who desire
more wealth do so because they are
now and then, if not continually, con-
scious Of being pinched. Between
their wants and their incomes they
are in "a strait, aud only by the exer-
else Of economy and ingenious man.
agement they are able to make both
ends meet, to say nothing Of laying up
money for a rainy day. But the secret
Of happiness in such cases is not to be
found by increasing the income
Wants grow as fast AS the means Of
gratifying them, often faster. One
who is constantly in debt on an income
of 81 900 will be as badly off on $50,
900. His scale of expenses will more
than keep pace with the increase Of
his means. The root Of the difficulty
Is in the fact that many persons will
always live beyond their means, and
will always fret because the means are
not larger.
The secret of true riches is given by
the Apostle: ''Godliness with con-
tentment is great gain," or as the ori-
ginal Greek word signifies money get
ting. This il the only kind of riches
that endures the tests of life. 1t does
not matter how much we have, if We
are consumed by longing for more We
are not rich.> No matter how little we
have. if we are content Herewith we
are rich. If y man cannot increase his
income, p'rhaps he Can decrease his
desires, which will come to the same
thing.

The fact that the Concord School
is to discuss Plato this summer will
give Western papers chance to pro-
duce authentic wood cuts of the great
philosopher.
A blank crop report was sent out
by Cleveland paper for the farmers
to fill out, and the other day one of
them came back with the following
written on the blank side in pencil:
"All we we've go IN this neighbor-
hood is three widders, two school
ma'am, a patch of wheat, the hog
cholera, too much rain, about fifty
acres of 'taters, and durn fool who
married cross-eyed gal because she

the same is ME, and no more at pre-

The Crawford court house was filled
to overaowing. The trial, coming as
it did, into the midst of the sleepy
summer days. when excitements were
few and proved great attraction.
1t was an exceptional trial, too.

son would have done, and the evidence
against him was very slight and pure
ly circumstantial. But in spite of
these confusing facts, the vast major
ity believed in his guilt, though rath-
er against their wills-he was such a
frank looking fellow.
Mr.. Briscomb was sitting with
down cast eyes and a troubled express
sion. Horace sat, with his head in
hand, looking weary and hopeless, and
the plaintiffs counsel was demanding
of the jury, for the twentieth time,
why, if the prisoner had not taken the
money, he had come to Crawford upon
the day Of the robbery upon an obvi-
ously trumped ap errand? Clearly,
he had come to place the money in
safe hands; his accomplice was prob.
ably in their midst.
The door opened suddenly and for
chilly, and young girl, with flushed
and eager face. came hastily in. AT
the sight of her, Horace raised his
head and his face frightened.
She gave him sweet smile, un-
mindful Of the astonished observers,
and made her way to MIR. Briscomb's s
side.
"You buried it yourself under the
loeust-tree!" she cried, grasping his
coat front, and shaking him little in
her eagerness. IL saw you. "You
were walking in your sleep, of course;
but didn't know it then. You came
down, the same night you Came home
with it, and dug place under the
locust-tree and put it in.'
Poor Mr.. Briscomb stared at her in
bewilderment; the spectators looked at
each other, and whistled softly; the
plaintiffs counsel looked disgusted.
There was solemn pause, which
the plaintiffs cosnsel broke by de-
manding t. Silly; that the evidence OF
this person" be taken IN the proper
way
But nobody seemed to hear him.

next instant the room resounded with
the cheers Of delighted crowd.

were the chief topics in Crawford for
Il week, after which Mr.. Briscomb's
money was forgotten.
But Horace aud Ruth had sub
stantial reasons for remembering it.
1t WAS Mr.. Briscomb's money that
made the way smooth to their m.rri-
age, few months later, and that built
the snug little house they called

A tall form stepped softly to the
ground and made it's way through the
yard with careful, stealthy move

But at sight of it, Ruth gave a sigh
of relief and laughed softly to herself.
She stood watching the proceedings
of the ghostly figure until it turned
and came toward the house-until the
front door closed softly, and the stairs
creaked under the ascending tread
Curiosity, perplexity and amaze

followed by regretful pity.
