and trebling as it came, and Jotham
braced himself with an urgent "Oh -
to the oxen. 1t was pitch dark. Moth
ing was to be seen. But, by the light
of the blazing brush Jotham beheld a
circle of wide, grinning jaws, filed
with sharp, white teeth, with pairs
of eyes above them, burning like Goals
of fire. In an agony of pleasure, Jo-
than saw that, though they followed
on at the same distance, they came
no nearer. The fire was his safety.
A wild fear leaped up that it might
get low and 60 out; indeed, it did
die away for a minute, and his heart
sank within him. The wolves drew
nearer, but the fame had fallen only
to rise more brilliantly. The log it
self had caught, and with howl the
wolves fell back. lothian peered into
the inky blackness, to catch, if possi-
BILE, a glimpse of the village lights.
He could make out nothing.
'If the cattle have missed the road,
we are lost" he said; and he faced
the fire and the wolves again, despe-
rately.
An age, so it seemed to lothian,
passed; he began to feel dazed and
faint; he clung with both hands to
the log. He counted how many min
utes it would be before he would fall
off. He was sure he could hold out
but a minute longer, say five. And
then, the fire; it was growing so ter
ribly hot, soon it would be unbeara-
BILE. One more last despairing glance
he threw behind him. He rubbed his
eyes but he saw it the second time.
There was a fire behind him, in
front of him, round him, on all sides,
and the wolves too, surely they were
encircling and hemming him in, for,
while their hungry eyes burned be-
fore him, their hoarse cry sounded
over his shoulder. There was a sud-
den shock, ringing in his ears, and
10 the wolves had fed, and kindly
hands held him, and familiar voices
were speaking.
"The boy was wonderfully brave"
they said, "and the oxen all safe.
What if the log is burnt? 1t is a small
loss, in such case"
Then lothian woke up to find half
the townsfolk around him, full of
praise for his courage. They had
seen the blazing log from afar, and
imagining it some signal, had built
bonfire in the road in answer. 1t was
their fire that had so bewildered Jo-
than, and their cry that had sounded,
to his worked-up fancy, like the
hoarse cry of wolves.

Pleasures of Poverty.

When the husband and wife are
true-hearted, there is no greater aid
to happiness than few deprivations
and hardships at the commencement
of their married life. 1t is great
thing for each to realize that he or
she is sacrificing for the other, The
wife came with empty hands to her
husband who had no rich gifts to
bestow but while she is struggling
and saving, and he is toiling and de-
nying himself, the consciousness of
doing it for the others sake confers
a happiness nothing can equal. 1t
will be in more prosperous days
alone, perhaps, that both will realize
the pleasures of the poverty they en-
dured in youth. In that grand new
house there is nothing lacking that
taste can devise or wealth procure.
Yet amidst the splendors and de-
lights, the hearts of both-the wife's
the oftenest, without doubt-will
turn with wistful affection TO the
little home of old times, poverty
stricken and inconvenient as it was.
The hardships and discomforts en-
dured within its walls have passed
away like mist before the sunshine,
and memory only recalls the delights
of contriving, managing and arrang-
ing. The carpeting and surprises in
cookery. The brief, sweet holidays
stolen from weeks of toll, saved for
so anxiously and looked for so eager
ly. These and a hundred other sim
pie joys are the pleasures of poverty,
in fact, undreamt of by the rich and
worldly.-Great Thoughts.

Marriage in India.

The following is an abstract from
a letter received a short time ago from
India. GAS / write there is a terrific
din going on next door, which is made
by natives that are celebrating the
marriage of their children, who, TO
Judge by looking at them, are about
twelve years of age. The celebration
was commenced last Tuesday (to-day
is Sunday, and it has been kept up
day and night ever since. The mu-
sic { y is produced from an old keg,
with one head knocked out and COW
cred with sheepskin, upon which
they beat with their hands, which is
called a tom-tom. There is one other
| instrument in use, which sounds very
much like a bagpipe and a tambour-
inc. There is no harmony in the
sound they make, and, in fact, all
they seem TO want TO do is 70 make
noise. This is ACCOMPANIED by n
chant by the females, which is very
much like the sound a saw makes
when it strikes a knot in a log.
1t is the custom Of Indian parents
to make a match for their children
when they are born, and then, be-
tween the age of eleven and twelve,
they celebrate the wedding with feast
ing and rejoicing, according TO their
means. Their parents will stint them
selves for years before and after the
event, so as to make a great show.
After the ceremony the bride and
bridegroom are separated, and do
not meet until they are Of age, when
if the man does not like the woman,
he is not compelled to live with her,
but he must support her. But ! am
told that cases are rare Of the hus-
bands refusing to live with a wife Of
his parents choice.
The first intimation that ! had Of
the arrival of the bride and bride
groom was hearing a full brass band,
whereupon | left this letter and went
out to see the fun. First came $50
children, each carrying a lamp, and
followed by thirty or forty men, who
amused themselves by firing off fire.
works. They were succeeded by the
band, and directly behind this came
what is called here 'pilekene.' To
get a good idea of what this latter ar
ticle is, imagine small pagoda with
no sides. This was decorated with
all kinds of silks and gold and silver
trimmings, and with a lamp hung in
every place in which it is possible to
put one. This was borne upon the
shoulders Of fourteen men, and inside
sat the bridegroom, very richly dress
ed, with his parents. At the door Of
the house the procession stopped,
where the rite of sprinkling him with
rice is gone through, after which he
entered the house, where he remains |
for three days, and then he returns |
home to await his coming of age"

TWO FAITHFUL STATES.

All Honor to the Intelligent Voters oi
Connecticut and New Jersey.
All honor to the little States of New
Jersey and Connecticut.
Both have stood Loyalty by the
Democratic President in the hour
when it had been feared that they, of
all the States which voted for him in
1884. would desert him.
Distinctively manufacturing States
both, the Republicans confidently ex-
pected them to heed the ''free-trade ="
scare-cro.'- of the Republican cam
paign and abandon the Democrats to
an inglorious defeat. But the work
ing-men of New Jersey are not the
ignorant and credulous dupes which
the Republicans assumed them to be.
They refused to be frightened by the
"free-trade bugaboo. On the con-
trary, they believe that ar unnecessa-
rlly high taxation is an unjust and in
furious taxation, and they boldly gave
the lie to the Republican claims that a
reduction of the tariff would result in
81 reduction of their wages, enrolling
their votes for, and giving their States
to, the honest and fearless advocate OF
tariff reduction.
They have done their full duty to-
ward electing the tariff-reform Presi-
dent, and they deserve fully as much
honor from the Democracy as if they
had elected him. Mr.. Cleveland was
beaten by the treachery of New York
Democrats, and by the side of that
treachery the courage and faithfulness
of the Democrats of New Jersey and
Connecticut shine all the brighter

THE SUGAR TRUST.


The Case Asilinst the North Riv Sugar
= ing Company. Membe- of the
sugar Trust, oa Trial In the Now York
Supreme Court
NEW YORK Nov. 15.-The suit brought
by the At.orney-Genera on behalf of the
people of the State of New York. against
the North River Sugar Refining Company
to dissolve that corporation. upon the
theory that it has exceeded the privileges
granted by its charter in becoming one Of
the members of the great Sugar Trust,
preme Court before Judge Barrett.
The action is one OF the results of the
Senate investigating committee OF last
winter. which for the first time brought
to light the deed of trust under which the
different sugar companies have formed
combination. 1t was substantial lily agreed
at the outset by the counsel that there
would be no controverted question of
fact for the court to pass upon, but it
would be merely aquestion OF law.
The formality of drawing the jury was
gone through with. and then the jurors
were instructed that as the only question
at issue would be one of law for the court
TO pass upon, their services would not be
required throughout the trial, but would
only be needed to go throu gh the formal.
tsJ VI FcEoiCL as OiCCtCO ny
the court.
Attorney-General Tabor opened the
case for the people. and contended that
tie effect OF the North River Sugar Re :
fining Company entering into the trust
was to place all its stock il the care OF
the Sugar Trust Board and to give up it
franchise to that board, and he thereto
asked for Judgment annuling the char
ter OF the company. Hs also stated that
the Sugar Refining Company, by entering
iuto the combination, had created mo-
nopoly by putting the price of sugar into
the hands and under control of the
board.
After recess, Mr.. Stearne testified that
transfers of stock to the trust were made
by individual stockholders and not by the
corporations. The trust declared divi-
dend of two and half per cent. last
April, on five months business.
Mr. Moller testified that there is now no
refinery Of any account in New York
State that is not controlled by the trust.
The only ones outside of this State that
he could name as Independent are the
Franklin and one other of Philadelphia,
the Reveres. Of Boston, the Spreckels. of
San Francisco, and the new Spreckels,
not completed, of Philadelphia.
The evidence being completed, the
court adjourned to November 81, when
arguments on legal points will be heard.
The court will then formulate its deci-
sion and instruct the jury to find yer
dict in accordance Herewith.
