Taking Comm on Honey moon.

From the Manchester Times
Concerning the death Of Queen Caroline,
the late DIR. Washington used 10 relate the
following anecdotc: at was considered
inexpedicnt doubtless for political reasons)
that her funeral should take place in Eng
land, and 10 DIR. (then Mr.. Washington
was conided the task Of conveying her
body 10 Brunswick, 10 be inferred in the
place whence she came. The commission
was nattefing one for 30 young a man.
and doubtless carried with II some
pccuniary advantages: but u came at q
most inconvenient moment, for Mr.. LUSH
ington was on tho point Of being married.
What was no 10 dof Decline the COM
mission or ask leave 10 postpone the we'd
ding? II was a delicate question, and ono
on which he felt II wise 20 take advice.
"By no means postpone the wedding"
said the friend whom he thus consulted,
''aihcr ask permission 10 have Il hasicned
on. The lady has plenty OF spirit; 20 and
put the case fairly before her, and tell her
my advice TO you both Is TO get quietly
married ut once, and start next day for tho
Continent, taking the colin with you.
Brunswick will be simply the iirst hating
place on your journey, and then, having
safely delivered over your charge, you can
90 on and finish your honeymoon in
Switzerland. or wherever else You please"
Mr.. Lushing,on acted on this advice,
aud the suggestion was received favorably
by the lady. The marriage took place and
the young couple started. under these most
original circumstances, for their honey
moon, They Travelled post. Of course, re-
lays being provided on the road; but they
had not gone many stages when the sound
Of galloping hoois was heard behind. A
messenger from the King1 "His majesty
had received information that a most inn
proper inscription had been placed upon
the coffin. II tins wec true, II must at
once be removed. His orders were i'm.
pcratiye" There was nothing for II but
TO stop the hcarsc and take out the coffin
for examination. Upon IL was found q
plate bearing these words Caroline, tho
much Ill.usod Wife OF George I'VE This
being evidently the obnoxious inscription
referred 20, the messenger at once pro-
duced his tools, wrnchod or the plate,
and galloped AWAY with Il 10 London.
The collin was then returned TO the hcarse
and the rest Of the journey was completed
without any further interruption. Many
years after DR.. Washington was called 10
the bedside OF diving man. "Ilc had
something on his mind" he said, 'and
could not he easy I'LL he had made clean
breast Of Il. lie was the very messenger
who Ind been sent TO. wrench of the -
scription, aud as nobody had ever particu-
lnrly inquired after the plate. he had VEN
tured 10 appropriate the sarne. under the
idea that Il might some day he OF value
~ n curiosity. OF late. however, his con.
science had been approaching him for this
act Of dishonesty, and he had now sent for
DR. Washington that he might restore the
stolen plate into his handn"

A Two-FoLD INTEREST.
The Unusual Combination Of st. Valen
tines Day and Merdi Gras.

Tomorrow will be doubly interesting
day and decidedly unusual one. Be-
sides Its character OF Shrove Tuesday, or
Mardi Gras, it is St. Valentines Day.
Show-windows of those business men who
deal in the sentimental sheets, from the
one rocking with malice to the most soul
full efinsion, are in high state OF attract
iyeness. The display presents few inn
provements over preceding years-in fact,
il IL becoming q settled conviction in the
public mind, that observance OF the day is
rapidly approaching state OF thorough
Indifference. Christmas, New Year and
Easter cards appear to be supplanting the
valentine, and relegating 1t 70 the shades
Of defunct customs.
The custom Of sending valentines may
be traced back TO the ancient Romans but
has undergone almost complete changes.
II was first conducted on the plan OF the
modern grab-bag or lottery. Small tablets
bearing the names OF young women were
placed in a box and drawn out by the
young men, and this carried with IL rs
sured attendance to the females for the
succeeding twelve months, when the same
program was rc-enacted. In this way
marriages were frequently manufactured.
| The festivities OF the Lupercolia, during
which this grail. bag or lottery took place,
were held at this period OF the year because
Il WAS peculiarly believed that il was
the time when birds selected their mates,
and the same tradition exists at the pres
ent time. Christianity came along later
with efforts TO crush ont hcathen super
stitions and consequent festivities. Find
| ING Il a task that caused despair in their
hearts, they adopted the plan OF diyesting
| IL of ali solcmnity or religious Significance.
The name of 81. Valentines day was
accordingly substituted for the Luper-
cola Festivities. thus retaining the
date. Of the ancient festival. The

custom wos by good cburbmen. who on.
